CITY OF REFUGE AND ILLUSION
by Jonathan Haeber
Grossinger's: City of Refuge and Illusion is an exploration of the relics of a once legendary Catskills hotel. Jonathan Haeber takes the reader on a journey through the abandoned Grossinger's resort with 25 gorgeous color photos that illustrate entertaining and poignant narratives about the hotel's once glamorous history.
Jon Haeber’s cat burglar-like ability to slip into abandoned sites, combined with his scholarly quest to understand the history of the places he visits, makes him the consummate urban explorer. This project, with its palpable sense of obsession, is exactly what an urbex book should be: A love letter to culture and history lost, and a chronicle of an adventurous journey into a forgotten world few ever get to see.
– Troy Paiva, author of Lost America, The Abandoned Roadside West and Night Vision, The Art of Urban Exploration
"I would like to believe that my Grandmother Jennie, the person most identified with and committed to the conventional success and maintenance of this property... would have been shocked by the demise... but, after one viewing of Jon’s portfolio and a moment’s contemplation, would have shaken his hand and, with tears in her eyes, thanked him for preserving the integrity and dignity of her manor."
- Richard Grossinger, author of Out of Babylon: Ghosts of Grossinger's
"How sad that we often fail to record the glorious present of the lives
and histories in which we live. Too often we return to the ruins,
working to reconstruct a past that we and others may now have
experienced. The Catskills are one of those places where people were
too busy to adequately photograph and collect, and now the memories
are scavenged from abandoned buildings. Jon Haeber’s excursions into
Grossinger’s show us an important slice of Jewish culture, through
his narrations that are accompanied by the riotous color palettes
generated by decay, rain, and time."
- Phil Brown,
Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies,
A recovering product packaging copywriter and freelance journalist, Jonathan Haeber
is embarking on a project to document historic architecture across the United States,
particularly architecture of national significance that faces imminent destruction or
dismantlement. His interest in the built landscape originated with a U.C. Berkeley
Geography thesis on the history of miniature golf. Haeber’s photography has appeared
in The New Yorker online, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, Der Spiegel, The San Francisco
Chronicle, and National Geographic News. He has written for CNET, National Geographic News, Discovery Channel, Microsoft Encarta, and The Daily Californian. You can see more
of Haeber’s work at www.terrastories.com.


The Midnight Graphics and Recreation Library is able to import .gani files and use them to facilitate keyframe animations. While it is not demonstrated in this demo, the playback of sound effects feature of .gani files is supported by MGRL. The brief flash of red circles is the placeholder graphic that shows in place of undownloaded sprites. This allows the download of a new sprite to not interrupt the playback of the animation. Sprites can be pre-cached to avoid this.

Michael Tell was an American musician, journalist, and political activist who made significant contributions to the world of music and social justice in the 1960s and 1970s. He is often remembered for his brief marriage to the iconic actress and activist, Patty Duke, but his own accomplishments should not be overlooked. In this article, we will delve into the life and legacy of Michael Tell, exploring his background, career, and activism.
Early Life and Career
Michael Tell was born on April 22, 1945, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His father was a salesman, and his mother was a homemaker. Tell grew up in a musical family, and he started playing the guitar at an early age. He attended the University of Michigan, where he studied journalism and became involved in the anti-war movement.
After college, Tell moved to New York City and began his career in journalism. He worked for several publications, including The Village Voice and The New York Times. In the mid-1960s, Tell became interested in music and began playing the guitar and writing songs. He formed a band called The Accents, which released a few singles and toured with several other popular bands of the era.
Marriage to Patty Duke
In 1970, Michael Tell made headlines when he married Patty Duke, who was at the height of her fame as an actress. The marriage was short-lived, lasting only 13 days, but it generated a great deal of publicity. Some have suggested that the marriage was a publicity stunt, while others believe that it was a genuine attempt at love. Whatever the case, the marriage did not last, and the couple divorced.
Activism and Legacy
After his marriage to Patty Duke ended, Michael Tell became more involved in political activism. He worked with several organizations, including the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement, advocating for civil rights and social justice. Tell also continued to pursue his music career, playing in various bands and writing songs that reflected his political beliefs.
Michael Tell passed away on April 29, 1995, at the age of 50. Although he may not be as well-known as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the world of music and social justice should not be overlooked. Michael Tell was a talented musician, a passionate activist, and a man who lived his life according to his beliefs.
Michael Tell was a fascinating figure who made significant contributions to the world of music and social justice in the 1960s and 1970s. His brief marriage to Patty Duke may have overshadowed his own accomplishments, but his legacy should not be forgotten. Michael Tell’s dedication to political activism and his talent as a musician continues to inspire others to this day.

Enhancing the Care to Older Adults
As the professional organization representing all registered nurses, the ANA has the responsibility to describe the scope and standards of practice for all registered nurses. ANA's scope of practice statement included in Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (ANA, 2004), describes the who, what, where, when, why, and how of nursing practice. As a part of this work, providing age appropriate and culturally sensitive care has been referenced to include care of older adults.
The companion standards of practice are authoritative statements by which the nursing profession describes the responsibilities for which its practitioners are accountable. The standards, written in measurable terms, reflect the values and priorities of the profession, provide direction for professional nursing practice, and serve as a framework for the evaluation of this practice. A second cornerstone document, Nursing's Social Policy Statement, Second Edition (ANA, 2003), defines the nursing profession's accountability to the public and the outcomes for which registered nurses are responsible.
Available companion standards of practice include:
(Find links below to the following:)
- Scope and Standards of Gerontological Nursing Practice, 2nd Edition (2001), written in collaboration with the National Gerontological Nursing Association, National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long Term Care, and National Conference of Gerontological Nurse Practitioners. This publication is provided free-of-charge to each specialty nursing organization targeted by NCA. They are encouraged to consider incorporation of some of the principles within their own scope and standards documents for their specialty. Also available in the ANA Gerontological Certification Resource Package.
- Scope and Standards of Home Health Nursing Practice (ANA, 2007). Also available in the ANA Home Health Certification Resource Package.
- Scope and Standards of Hospice and Palliative Nursing Practice (2007), written in collaboration with the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association. Also available in the ANA Hospice and Palliative Nursing Certification Resource Package.
The ANA's scope and standards of practice serve as a resource template for specialty nursing organizations when defining their practice domain. Often specialty nursing organizations elect to clarify the uniqueness of their specialty nursing practice by publishing a specialty nursing scope and standards document. Similarly, specialty nursing credentialing bodies rely on the scope and standards when developing certification examinations and other components of the credentialing program. The scope and standards are often integrated into curriculum content and may be consulted by regulatory bodies, legislators, and lawyers. Students, colleagues, and healthcare consumers review the scope and standards to learn about the nursing specialty.

We do not know who wrote the gospels. They presently have headings: ‘according to Matthew’, ‘according to Mark’, ‘according to Luke’ and ‘according to John’. The Matthew and John who are meant were two of the original disciples of Jesus. Mark was a follower of Paul, and possibly also of Peter; Luke was one of Paul's converts.5 These men – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – really lived, but we do not know that they wrote gospels. Present evidence indicates that the gospels remained untitled until the second half of the second century.
- Ehrman, Bart D. (2005). Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew. Oxford University Press. hlm. 235. ISBN 978-0-19-518249-1.
Why then do we call them Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Because sometime in the second century, when proto-orthodox Christians recognized the need for apostolic authorities, they attributed these books to apostles (Matthew and John) and close companions of apostles (Mark, the secretary of Peter; and Luke, the traveling companion of Paul). Most scholars today have abandoned these identifications,11 and recognize that the books were written by otherwise unknown but relatively well-educated Greek-speaking (and writing) Christians during the second half of the first century.
- Nickle, Keith Fullerton (January 1, 2001). The Synoptic Gospels: An Introduction. Westminster John Knox Press. hlm. 43. ISBN 978-0-664-22349-6.
We must candidly acknowledge that all three of the Synoptic Gospels are anonymous documents. None of the three gains any importance by association with those traditional figures out of the life of the early church. Neither do they lose anything in importance by being recognized to be anonymous. Throughout this book the traditional names are used to refer to the authors of the first three Gospels, but we shall do so simply as a device of convenience.

We call these books, of course, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And for centuries Christians have believed they were actually written by these people: two of the disciples of Jesus, Matthew the tax collector (see Matt. 9:9) and John, the “beloved disciple” (John 21:24), and two companions of the apostles, Mark, the secretary of Peter, and Luke, the traveling companion of Paul. These are, after all, the names found in the titles of these books. But what most people don’t realize is that these titles were added later, by second-century Christians, decades after the books themselves had been written, in order to be able to claim that they were apostolic in origin. Why would later Christians do this? Recall our earlier discussion of the formation of the New Testament canon: only those books that were apostolic could be included. What was one to do with Gospels that were widely read and accepted as authoritative but that in fact were written anonymously, as all four of the New Testament Gospels were? They had to be associated with apostles in order to be included in the canon, and so apostolic names were attached to them.

Proto-orthodox Christians of the second century, some decades after most of the New Testament books had been written, claimed that their favorite Gospels had been penned by two of Jesus' disciples—Matthew, the tax collector, and John, the beloved disciple—and by two friends of the apostles—Mark, the secretary of Peter, and Luke, the travelling companion of Paul. Scholars today, however, find it difficult to accept this tradition for several reasons.

I wanted to use that quotation in order to show that the results of historical scholarship can be made known to the public—especially to believers—only with difficulty. Many Christians feel threatened if they hear that most of what was written in the Bible is (in historical terms) untrue and that none of the four New Testament Gospels was written by the author listed at the top of the text.

10. Just as historical critical scholars deny the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, so they also deny the authorship of the four Gospels by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. [...] But today, these persons are not thought to have been the actual authors.

The Gospels of the New Testament are therefore our earliest accounts. These do not claim to be written by eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus, and historians have long recognized that they were produced by second- or third-generation Christians living in different countries than Jesus (and Judas) did, speaking a different language (Greek instead of Aramaic), experiencing different situations, and addressing different audiences.

We have already learned significant bits of information about these books. They were written thirty-five to sixty-five years after Jesus’ death by authors who did not know him, authors living in different countries who were writing at different times to different communities with different problems and concerns. The authors all wrote in Greek and they all used sources for the stories they narrate. Luke explicitly indicates that his sources were both written and oral. These sources appear to have recounted the words and deeds of Jesus that had been circulating among Christian congregations throughout the Mediterranean world. At a later stage we will consider the question of the historical reliability of these stories. Here we are interested in the Gospels as pieces of early Christian literature.

Beginning with Papias in the second century, a tradition developed in various forms that attributed the authorship of the Gospel of Mark to this John Mark, who had been the companion of both Paul and Peter (Eusebius, Hist. eccl. 3.39.15). In all its variations, the ancient tradition makes clear that Mark's Gospel was accepted and valued in the church, not because of its historical accuracy, but because it represented Peter's apostolic authority. The Gospel of Mark itself makes no claim to have been written by an eyewitness and gives no evidence of such authorship. While most critical scholars consider the actual author's name to be unknown, the traditional view that Mark was written in Rome by a companion of Peter is still defended by some scholars who begin with the church tradition cited above and do not find convincing historical evidence to disprove it.6 For convenience, in this book we continue to refer to the Gospels by the names of their traditional authors.

Authorship by an apostle was so unimportant to early recognition of a writing's authority that names of apostles (Matthew and John) or names of people thought to be associated with apostles (Mark and Luke respectively with Peter and Paul) were only attached to the four Gospels at the beginning of the second century, after those had gained recognition primarily because of churchly appreciation of their content. Having studied the content of John and Matthew, historical-critical scholarship massively doubts that the Hellenistic Fourth Gospel was authored by the apostle John, and widely doubts that the First Gospel was written by the apostle Matthew. That the author of Mark was Peter's associate also seems unlikely, since that Gospel is very Hellenistic and Peter—according to both Acts and Paul—was highly Jewish. Similarly, that the author of Luke was Paul's companion is most improbable, since Acts's accounts concerning Paul conflict much with what Paul's epistles report. Again, had any of the Gospels been written by apostles, why were their names attached so late?125 Nor would apostle associates have been apostles!
- Which is not a new claim, see Foster, Douglas A. (2012). The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. hlm. 176. ISBN 978-1-4674-2736-4. Mufaigi me 15 August 2023.
During this period Disciples scholars such as Willett began to study at interdenominational theological schools and secular universities, and for the first time the Stone-Campbell Movement engaged historical criticism as the primary perspective on biblical interpretation. While Campbell's "Seven Rules" had advocated a kind of historical criticism, traditional conclusions about authorship, date, and the nature of biblical documents had been assumed, so that no one in the first generation had supposed that the consistent application of Campbell's own principles would lead to results that challenged and overturned these conclusions. By the end of the nineteenth century, those who followed the critical method arrived at a new set of conclusions that made the Bible look entirely different. Among these new conclusions: the Pentateuch was not written by Moses but represented a long development within history, the prophets were not making long-range predictions about Jesus and the church, but spoke to the issues of their own time; the Gospels were not independent 'testimonies" that provided "evidence" for the historical facts about Jesus' life and teaching, but were interdependent (Matthew and Luke used Mark and "Q"); also, the Gospels were not written by apostles and contained several layers of reinterpreted traditions.

5. The geography of Gospel Palestine, like the geography of Old Testament Palestine, is symbolic rather than actual. It is not clear whether any of the evangelists had ever been there.

Like the other synoptics, Mark's Gospel is anonymous. Whether it was originally so is, however, difficult to know. Nevertheless, we can be fairly certain that it was written by someone named Mark. [...] The difficulty is ascertaining the identity of Mark. Scholars debate [...] or another person simply named Mark who was not native to Palestine. Many scholars have opted for the latter option due to the Gospel's lack of understanding of Jewish laws (1:40-45; 2:23-28; 7:1-23), incorrect Palestinian geography (5:1-2, 12-13; 7:31), and concern for Gentiles (7:24-28:10) (e.g. Marcus 1999: 17-21).
- Reddish 2011, hlm. 36: "Evidence in the Gospel itself has led many readers of the Gospel to question the traditional view of authorship. The author of the Gospel does not seem to be too familiar with Palestinian geography. [...] Is it likely that a native of Palestine, as John Mark was, would have made such errors?" [...] Also, certain passages in the Gospel contain erroneous statements about Palestinian or Jewish practices."

Finally it is important to realize that none of the four gospels originally included an attribution to an author. All were anonymous, and it is only from the fragmentary and enigmatic and—according to Eusebius, from whom we derive the quotation—unreliable evidence of Papias in 120/130 CE that we can begin to piece together any external evidence about the names of their authors and their compilers. This evidence is so difficult to interpret that most modern scholars form their opinions from the content of the gospels themselves, and only then appeal selectively to the external evidence for confirmation of their findings.

This week I finished reading, This is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism by Don Lemon, Anchor of CNN Tonight.
Don Lemon has given this reader a clear and concise look at racism in America, with a focus on major events in 2020: the Covid-19 crisis, disastrously mismanaged by the administration of the 45th president; the Black Lives Matter movement which gained fresh breath by the dying words, “I can’t breathe” of George Floyd, and the 2020 Presidential election, in which the American people limited Donald Trump’s presidency to a single term.
Through his lived experience as a Black man in the United States of America, he allows the reader to gain a measure of understanding of the microaggressions and the not so micro acts of discrimination all members of the Black community continue to experience daily.
Through his eyes as a journalist, he gives the reader an unobstructed view of the continuing legacy of an “irredeemable past.”
As a journalist, Don Lemon has a wealth of experience interviewing scientists, authors, historians, other members of the journalistic community, and the everyman/woman trying to live their lives on the streets of America.
This background has resulted in a well written, clear, and concise overview of historical events that created the environment for all that occurred in 2020. It also addresses how a society can change if—and that’s a big if—that society can put the heartbreaking work into facing the issues we as individuals carry.
You don’t have to be an American to learn something from this book. I copied the Appendix lists of further reading and listening suggestions at the back of the book. My education will continue. I also found This is the Fire to be an excellent companion to another book I am currently reading: How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.
I think of every individual citizen—myself included — who makes up the social fabric of a nation which says in its anthem:
“Oh, Canada, . . . with glowing hearts we see the rise, the True north, Strong and free. From far and wide, Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”
Can we say as a nation and as individuals that our hearts are glowing when we see all that is happening in our nation? Is our nation strong, and free for all of its citizens? I am proud to be Canadian. But, there is room for improvement, as any democratic nation will tell you. As one citizen of Canada, I want to be part of the health of our nation going forward. It starts with me. It starts by listening to the voices silenced for so long, listening to opinions I may not agree with, open my heart and attempt to understand where possible.
I look at events in my own country of Canada, especially around the issue of colonialism and its ongoing destructive effect on the Indigenous community, the health crisis of Covid-19, and a federal election which many say is unnecessary during a pandemic.
Here are two quotes—from so many I could have chosen—that I feel speak to me in my life and this time in the history of humanity.
“I’m asking you to open your mind and allow space for potentially uncomfortable ideas. . . . Folks of all races, ages and persuasions will have to turn toward those with whom we disagree, those who fear change, and we must challenge ourselves to listen to their concerns before we attempt to exorcise their dread.”
“. . . being aware of who you are and your own privilege . . . its exhausting. But there’s no other way, because to give up, to just embrace ignorance leads to some really dark places.”
I have been taking the time over the past few years to read and listen to the experience of all my citizens of this planet we live on. Yes, it has been exhausting and overwhelming, but I will not give up.
Where are you on this journey?

Recently I was given a vast list by my college to read, I was unfamiliar with all the books that were included on the list with the exception of some Michael Morpurgo books. With the advice of my friend on which book to choose to read during the summer, I settled on the book: Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. I was expecting the typical Literature story told through two parts- the first part being pre-war and then the second part being told through the person’s experience of the war. However! This piece of Literature pleasantly surprised me!
Birdsong had a unique way of telling the story of Stephen Wraysford, a man who has an affair with his French host during his time in the textile industry; then a grand soldier in the Great War; then an experienced trying to find the feelings that he had held for his one true love. It was not told in the typical structure either! With this book you most certainly went through the different periods of time in a VERY unique way. Just be sure when you are reading it that you aren’t going to be easily distracted because at first the way that Sebastian Faulks tells the story, it certainly takes some getting used to.
This is a great book for those who appreciate fantastic pieces of literature! And! To be honest, I’ve never been an avid reader of literature but this book certainly enhanced my interest for it!
The blurb of the book:
“Set before and during the great war, Birdsong captures the drama of that era on both a national and a personal scale. It is the story of Stephen, a young Englishman, who arrives in Amiens in 1910. His life goes through a series of traumatic experiences, from the clandestine love affair that tears apart the family with whom he lives, to the unprecedented experiences of the war itself.”

Wake County Public Libraries’ decision to remove a book from shelves has raised questions about constitutionality and legality.
Spectrum Local News first reported the library system removed “Gender Queer: A Memoir” from its catalog last week.
A reader filed a complaint about the book and turned it over to the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, claiming it violated state and federal law. LGBTQ and literature advocates said removing the book violates the U.S. Constitution and is unnecessary censorship.
“Our public libraries should be an information haven for all people in our community, not sites of censorship,” Equality NC, the LGBT Center of Raleigh and the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina said in a joint statement. “The coordinated effort throughout the country to denigrate books that center LGBTQIA+ issues and voices from libraries and schools is harmful and unconstitutional, flying in the face of the fundamental principles of the First Amendment.”
Written by Maia Kobabe to explain being nonbinary and asexual to relatives, “Gender Queer: A Memoir” is reportedly one of the most-banned books in the country. Parents, school officials and lawmakers have challenged it in at least 11 states. It includes details of Kobabe’s sexual experiences. Wake County Public Library officials said it was removed because it has illustrations that are pornographic, according to an internal email made public.
A Wake County library member initially sent an email to the library complaining about “Gender Queer” and another LGBTQIA+ book, “Lawn Boy.” Deputy Library Director Ann Burlingame told the reader, whose name was withheld in the email, to fill out a Request for Reconsideration form.
The reader said “Gender Queer” “had sexual scenarios spanning many pages with graphic illustrations” and should be “thrown out and kept in a secure area” for readers over 25 years old. The book already was in the adult section of the library. The complainant also said it lacked “literary value,” and the government should not use tax dollars for the book.
A group of parents made a similar request to the Wake County Public School System, but district officials have left the decision to individual schools. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson also slammed the presence of the two books in libraries and schools.
In the internal email, Burlingame said the complainant cited federal law that makes it “illegal to distribute, transport, sell, ship, mail, produce with intent to distribute or sell, or engage in a business of selling or transferring obscene matter” and similar state law. Burlingame said she used her own discretion in deciding to remove the book.
“You know, defining something as pornographic is tricky and I follow the leadership of Justice Potter Stewart who said about pornography in Jacobellis v. Ohio(,) ‘I know it when I see it,'” Burlingame wrote in the email to Wake County Director of Community Services Frank Cope.
According to the U.S. Justice Department, unprotected obscenity is measured by the 1973 case Miller v. California. It must appeal to the “average person’s prurient interest in sex;” depict sexual conduct in a “patently offensive way;” and “taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”
Civil rights activists said the decision harms LGBTQIA+ residents and community members and stakeholders should have been involved in the decision-making process.
“Removing books and resources about and by people who have long been marginalized silences important voices, invalidates people’s lived experiences and demeans entire groups of people,” the groups said in a joint statement. “Wake County Public Libraries serve over a million residents, and this act of censorship is a refusal to serve specific community members.”

Veterans Day & Vampires!
First, my gratitude to all the veterans out there on Veteran's Day! I'm the daughter of a former Army paratrooper, and I'm going to call my dad right after I finish this post. He'll be hanging out with his buddies at a day filled with events. I grew up reciting military cadences and knowing that there is a "right" way to read a map, sweep the floor, and walk up a steep slope. Also, no backtalk and stand up straight.Thanks, Dad!
My pal Mario Acevedo brings knowledge from his experiences as an Army attack helicopter pilot to his hilarious, adventurous Felix Gomez vampire series. If you want to support a vet and read a new series, check out his site and his books. I met Mario when he came to Berkeley a few years back and he was warm, funny, and delightful. His vampire Felix is a fast-talking smartass, but Mario's got that Southwestern laid-back manner that makes you just want to have a tall cool drink and share stories.
Thanks for your service and bravery, Mario!
contest for my Casa Dracula books. I love hearing about people's pets, and as a kid, I loved reading animal stories. Some of my favorite books were Marguerite Henry's stories of famous horses and their owners. These books were in my grade school library, and I read them over and over. I shed a lot of little girl tears over the animals' travails, and many smiles over their triumphs. Michelle at the Green Hand Bookshop is also a fan of these wonderful stories.
I include pets in all my books, from Milagro's first dog, her beloved Daisy, to her garden chicken Petunia, and Nancy in Nancy's Theory of Style also gets a feral kitten, Blackbeard. When a character has a pet, the plot gets a little complicated because the pet's whereabouts must be accounted for if the character goes on vacation or is on an adventure. Who's feeding the cat and who's walking the dog?
I still like stories that feature pets in them. My favorite pet in a supernatural story has to be Salem Sagerhagen, the cat, in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. He was snarkalicious. Do you have a favorite fictional pet? You can mention that as a contest entry by leaving a comment here.

Last year for CBR4, I reviewed Louise Erdrich’s Pulitzer Prize nominated novel The Plague of Doves and gave it 4 stars (which seems stingy in retrospect — it deserved 5). Her latest National Book Award-winning novel The Round House is another brilliant work. As far as I’m concerned, Erdrich is the best American writer around.
The events of The Round House occur in the summer of 1988. Our narrator is a 14-year-old Native named Joe, son of Judge Coutts and Geraldine (characters from The Plague of Doves). They live on a reservation in North Dakota, where dad is a tribal judge, mom is a recorder of genealogies and Joe hangs out with his buddies doing fairly typical things like riding bikes, hanging out at the lake, drinking and smoking. Their lives are shattered when Geraldine is violently raped. Geraldine retreats into herself, refusing to divulge details about the crime to tribal, state or federal officials (the question of exactly where the crime occurred will be important to determining who has jurisdiction). The Judge re-examines cases he tried in order to see if he can figure out who might want to hurt him and his family. Joe and his friends engage in some investigating of their own, and Joe makes startling discoveries about the crime and members of his community. Ultimately, he must decide how he will act on what he has learned, and the choice is excruciating for him.
The plot is grim but, sadly, based on a staggering reality — that one third of Native women are raped, 86% by non-Native men, and that justice is rarely served. Erdrich, who is part Chippewa, provides statistics and facts at the end of the novel. The lack of justice will surely make readers burn, but injustice is part of Native American history. Erdrich does a beautiful job of weaving Native history into her stories without making it seem forced or pedantic. The facts flow naturally into conversations that characters have, and the reader can see the influence of 200 years’ worth of US government decisions on the lives of Natives today.
As a writer, Erdrich is simply amazing. Her imagination and ability to put herself in the place of different ages, sexes and cultures is superb. She can write the dream sequence of Mooshum, explaining the tale of the wiindigoo, a spirit that possesses a person at a time of desperation. Then she can produce a detailed conversation between fourteen year olds about Star Trek Next Generation. She can break your heart with Joe’s decisions and his friends’ fates, and she can make you laugh out loud when the priest hears a confession that causes him to chase a teen out of the church and around the neighborhood. One especially delightful character is Grandma Ingnatia, aka Grandma Thunder, who scandalizes the younger people with her frank talk about sex. When Joe and his friends go to her place for lunch, they get an earful.
You boys listen up, said Grandma Ingatia. You want to learn something? Want to learn how to keep your little peckers hard all your life? Go and go? Live clean like Napoleon. Liquor makes you quicker and that’s no good. Bread and lard keep it hard! He is eighty-seven and he not only gets it up easy, he can go five hours at a stretch.
We wanted to sneak away but were pulled back by that last piece of information.
By far the most powerful writing deals with Geraldine’s trauma. The revelation of the crime committed against her is shocking and brutal. Equally devastating is the way Erdrich describes the aftermath — Geraldine’s anguish and depression and its effect on her family. In one scene, Geraldine is taken by surprise when she doesn’t hear her husband enter the house. He hugs her from behind, causing her to scream and drop the casserole dish she had been holding. Joe narrates what followed:
…my mother flushed darkly and an almost imperceptible shudder coursed over her. She took a gasping breath, and put her hand to her wounded face. Then she stepped over the mess on the floor and walked carefully away…. As she walked up each riser she looked straight ahead and her hand was firm on the banister. Her steps were soundless. She seemed to float. My father and I had followed her to the doorway, and I think we both had the sense that she was ascending to a place of utter loneliness from which she might never be retrieved.
Erdrich creates a rich, complicated, fascinating community peopled with very human characters. They are flawed (some drink too much, some can be abusive, some are less than honest) but despite their mistakes and flaws, still do selfless beautiful things for one another. They are real. And the resolution to the plot is also very real, a mix of relief and sorrow.
You could read The Round House without reading The Plague of Doves first, but you would be giving yourself a treat to read them back to back. Erdrich is a national treasure and I intend to read all of her books and hope that she doesn’t stop writing for a long time.

About the Novel:
Set in 1950s Bombay, India, INSIDE THE MIRROR centers on twin sisters who aspire to become artists, exploring female creativity and identity-making in a society remaking its own identity in the devastating aftermath of colonial rule. Jaya Malhotra studies medicine at the direction of her father, who, though a champion of women’s education, assumes the right to choose his twin daughters’ vocations. A talented painter drawn to the city’s dynamic, new modern art movement, Jaya feels compelled to express both the pain and extraordinary life force of a nation recovering from centuries of British oppression. Her twin, Kamlesh, is a passionate student of Bharata Natyam dance who complies with her father’s decision that she become a school teacher.
When Jaya moves out of her family home to live with a female mentor, she suffers grievous consequences as a rare woman in an exclusive domain of male artists. Not only does her departure from home threaten her family’s standing and destroy her reputation, Jaya loses a vital connection to her twin, who pursues her own forbidden dreams by appearing on stage and in the Hindi cinema as a dancer. The twins discover the heavy cost of forging their own destinies in a society that demands women conform to prescribed roles.
A story of two visionary sisters, INSIDE THE MIRROR is a brilliant examination of art, colonialism, injustice, love, and the ambition of women to seize their own power.

Getting Published in Peer-Reviewed Journals
Copyright 2009 by Val Gerard, Ph.D
The most important research in the world is valueless if it’s not communicated to other people. Nowadays, however, most peer-reviewed journals, especially the prestigious ones, accept only a small percentage of the manuscripts submitted for publication. Rejection is not only discouraging, but can significantly increase the time between when you conducted the research and when your results appear in print. Therefore, you should do everything possible to optimize your chances of success before you submit your paper. Here are some tips that will help you get your papers published.
First, choose a journal that is appropriate to the topic and scope of your paper. Although it is tempting to submit to the journal with the biggest reputation (everyone hopes to be published in Science and Nature), that journal will probably be the most selective. Sending your paper to a specific journal because you know someone on the editorial board may get you a more apologetic rejection letter, but not necessarily better reviews.
To optimize the probability that it will be accepted for publication, your manuscript must clearly present your purpose, approach, results, interpretation, and conclusions. Any unclear information will be misunderstood or misinterpreted by some readers, including reviewers. Therefore, it’s critical that you understand your results completely before you begin writing. The first step in preparing a paper for publication is to analyze the results, and prepare figures and tables that most clearly illustrate your interpretation. Figures and tables should be as simple as possible. Unnecessary data should be omitted (even if you spent a lot of time and effort generating them). Readers tend to compare information that is side-by-side, so if possible, put your most important comparisons in adjacent columns, not rows. Once you have your results presented effectively, list the points that you want to make from them. Then, organize the points to “tell the story” that you want to present to readers. Less is more when it comes to the text of the Results section. Use the text to make your most important points, not to repeat data that are already presented in the figures and tables.
At this point, I find it useful to write a preliminary Abstract. This focuses the writing on the most important points of the paper. The Abstract should be revised when the manuscript is complete.
Theses and dissertations have extensive Introductions and Literature Review sections; publications, aside from review papers, benefit from short Introductions. One way to avoid putting too much information in the Introduction is to write it after you write the Discussion. That way, you know exactly what you are introducing, and you can avoid the common problem of citing literature that really belongs in the Discussion.
You can write the Methods section at any point in your manuscript preparation. Some people write it first to warm up. Some write it after the Results are written. The advantage of the latter approach is that the Methods should be presented in roughly the same order as the Results. For example, if the Results present data from Experiment X first, then data from Experiment Y, the methods for Experiment X should precede the methods for Experiment Y. Likewise, the Abstract and Discussion should include Experiment X before Experiment Y. The objective is to make the reader’s job as easy as possible, to avoid confusion and misinterpretation.
As a writer, reviewer, and editor, I cannot emphasize enough that every sentence in a manuscript must be clear and accurate. This may be the most difficult achievement in writing a paper for publication. Your ideas are flowing, and you are writing down sentences that you think clearly state those ideas. When you reread what you have written, it sounds good! Unfortunately, it’s often not good enough. Your brain will subconsciously fill in missing bits of information and unravel confusing sentences, because you know what you are trying to say. The reader does not. That is why you should ask a colleague to read your draft, or hire an editor. A competent editor will find and fix those problematic sentences, poorly organized paragraphs, and illogical conclusions. You can learn to effectively edit your own writing, but it requires help at the start and a lot of practice along the way. Try reading what you have written out loud: your ear-brain connection will catch problems that your eye-brain connection will skim over.
It is not unusual to have a paper accepted for publication after it has been rejected by other journals, often several times. If your paper is rejected, make the most of a bad situation by seriously considering the reviewers’ comments. Most reviewers try to provide constructive criticism, even when they recommend rejection. Following their suggestions may make the difference between rejection and acceptance by another journal. However, the next reviewers will almost certainly be different people, and their comments may contradict earlier reviews, so use your own best judgment in making revisions.
Good luck! I wish you 100% success in getting your papers published.


Dot Complicated: a book review
I just finished reading Dot Complicated: Untangling Our Wired Lives by Randi Zuckerberg, sister to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. In this book, she tackles the subject of how evolving technologies complicate people’s lives.
Zuckerberg’s book mixes biography, advice, and history to provide a unique perspective on evolving technologies and people’s need to find balance. She tackles a range of topics that have been changed by technology, including love and relationships, politics, and work and career.
What is fascinating is that even though Zuckerberg’s career and fame are inextricably tied to technology, she has a fairly conservative approach when it comes to using it personally and works hard to find that “balance”.
I read this book hoping to gleam some research for a paper that I am writing about the role of evolving technologies and Ignatian pedagogy and spirituality, and while many parts weren’t applicable for my paper, Zuckerberg makes some interesting points about how much of our lives have changed because of the use of technology, specifically social social media.
Her book shows that the need to find balance with evolving technologies is a mainstream issue that is affecting everyone—those of us who are “tech savvy” and those of us who are just learning how to use these evolving technologies. A particularly interesting part of her book centered on the use of Smartphones and how much they have changed our lives and shares research to support that our need to check-in with a virtual world can be as addictive as drug use.
She writes: “Our phones are demanding more and more of our time, and we’re giving in. But we’re not entirely to blame for this phenomenon. Studies have shown that checking your smartphone can be as addictive as using drugs. According to Dr. Peter Whybrow, a psychiatrist who runs the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, the smartphone is even a kind of ‘electronic cocaine.’ Because our brains are wired to seek out novelty as a reward, all those constant updates and notifications you receive from your friends basically give you a little hit every time you tap ‘refresh.’ As Dr. Whybrow said, ‘With technology, novelty is the reward. You essentially become addicted to novelty.’ When someone ‘likes’ something you do, your brain receives a little burst of dopamine, a chemical that the brain produces to indicate a reward. That’s what makes our gadgets so addictive. Every time we get a notification, we’re hoping for another hit. This is why during dinner, when the phone buzzes, we have to resist the urge to look at the screen, at least until our dining companion goes to the bathroom and is just out of sight. Or we find ourselves Instagramming our meals instead of just insta-eating the food and liking it the natural way. Sometimes it seems that brunch will never be enjoyed again without someone first hashtagging the hash browns.”
This book would definitely be a good read for a faculty to help them get in touch with some of the issues that their students and parents are facing in today’s techy world. While we want our students to use technology and need to integrate technology to help our students become 21st century learners, we’re also called to the task of helping them learn how to “untangle” and disconnect from technology. Zuckerberg reminds her readers to be present in the moment, to find balance, to unplug; this is also important for us educators.
Zuckerberg’s book is peppered with nuggets of advice. A main theme is this: “You need control over your devices instead of letting them control you. Technology is a tool, and whether it creates order or chaos in your life depends on how you use it. The technology itself is neutral. It’s up to you to use it in a way that enhances your life and doesn’t detract from it,” she writes.
This book could also be an important read for high school or college technology classes and could open the door to many important conversations about how technology penetrates so many areas of our daily lives.
Zuckerberg has a website that helps people who want to continue to find this balance with technology: http://dotcomplicated.co/content/2013/01/welcome-to-dot-complicated/. She’s even created a children’s book, Dot, that covers similar themes for a younger audience. Look for a review of that in the future.
