The Founder of RotaryPaul Harris, the founder of Rotary, was born in Racine, Wisconsin, USA, on April 19, 1868, but moved at the age of 3 to Wallingford, Vermont, to be raised by his grandparents. In the foreword to his autobiography My Road to Rotary, he credits the friendliness and tolerance he found in Vermont as his inspiration for the creation of Rotary.Trained as a lawyer, Paul gave himself five years after his graduation from law school in 1891 to see as much of the world as possible before settling down and hanging out his shingle. During that time, he traveled widely, supporting himself with a great variety of jobs. He worked as a reporter in San Francisco, a teacher at a business college in Los Angeles, a cowboy in Colorado, a desk clerk in Jacksonville, Florida, a tender of cattle on a freighter to England, and as a traveling salesman for a granite company, covering both the U.S. and Europe.Remaining true to his five-year plan, he settled in Chicago in 1896, and it was there on the evening of February 23, 1905, that he met with three friends to discuss his idea for a businessmen's club. This is commonly regarded as the first Rotary club meeting. Over the next five years, the movement spread as Rotary clubs were formed in other U.S. cities. When the National Association of Rotary Clubs held its first convention in 1910, Paul was elected president.After his term, and as the organization's only president-emeritus, Paul continued to travel extensively, promoting the spread of Rotary both in the USA and abroad. A prolific writer, Paul wrote several books about the early days of the organization and the role he was privileged to play in it. These include The Founder of Rotary, This Rotarian Age and the autobiographical My Road to Rotary. He also wrote several volumes of Perigrinations detailing his many travels. He died in Chicago on January 27, 1947.

The initiative STORY FOR FOOD has a multiple mission:
- to create a space where stories are treated as a new kind of currency,
- to build a story library of previously undocumented stories: personal or fictitious,
- to become the platform that permits stories to travel from someone’s memory or imagination to someone’s else reflection or creation and eventually,
- to value stories in society by encouraging the practise of sharing them and foster the culture of listening to them.
My name is Christina Kyriazidi and I am an actress and playwright based in Berlin and originally from Greece. I am passionate about stories and how sharing them can contribute to personal and social health. My dream is to create a space where stories are treated as a new kind of currency.
STORIES AS A NEW CURRENCY
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” ― Philip Pullman
STORY FOR FOOD will be a cafe shop in Berlin where you can trade your story for food and drinks. The stories will be documented so the cafe shop will also become an archive for anyone interested in accessing the stories for educational and research purposes or artistic inspiration. It will include a cafe space, a recording studio for sharing stories and an archive room (story library) for listening to stories. Storytelling and listening workshops will be organised, as well as “FOODBACK”, “ARTBACK” and “MUSICBACK” events where some stories are translated into specific food, object or melody. In this way, STORY FOR FOOD will become the platform that permits stories to travel from someone’s memory or imagination to someone’s else reflection or creation. Finally, it will focus partly on stories of particular groups (Alzheimer, blind, homeless, refugee, children, old people etc) in an attempt to foster healing, integration and inclusiveness.
It aspires to gather undocumented stories: personal or fictitious. Its’ mission is to value stories in society by encouraging the practise of sharing them and foster the culture of listening to them.
The initiative STORY FOR FOOD has a triple benefit: empowerment, inspiration and the potential for an alternative economy.
First, the act of sharing empowers the person who offers the story and enables him/her to (re)connect with it, and experience emotional relief.
Second, encountering stories from diverse experiences or cultural traditions is inspiring for those engaged in any kind of artistic creation, while it may become useful material for research.
Third, this concept offers a model for an alternative economy: trading the intangible for the tangible. It hopes to expand to similar initiatives in the future and in different parts of the world, e.g. STORY FOR TAXI, STORY FOR LAUNDRY etc
We are interested in the stories only YOU can tell, the unheard voices. We want to find out about the quality of our listening and see if it is possible to develop our listening skills. We want to know what happens both to the teller and the listener when they share a story and how someone’s memory can be translated into food, object or melody. We wonder why we are eager to share personal stories with strangers, if time affects the quality of a story and how someone’s story can be used creatively. We would like to find out what makes a good archive and what kind of stories artists, writers, researchers are missing. How do our stories travel through others’ bodies, inspire new creations, or provide the ground for new emotional experiences? Imagine if the waiting room of a hospital or a train station could be filled with stories or if lonely people could hear the voices of others in headphones attached to benches in the park. Eventually, we aspire to create both a virtual and a physical community, and bring people together through their individual stories.
Wealth is associated with money. Let’s challenge that! Let’s associate wealth with stories. Let’s trade our stories!
What would the world look like if we introduced a parallel intangible currency?
Is it possible to trade story for food?

Additional Blu-ray only bonus materials: 1984 Extended Studio Tour, The Eighth Wave Music Video, Starchild (Short Film by Joseph Robinson with music by Suzanne Ciani), 2017 Quadraphonic Buchla Performance, 1974 Buchla Concert
If you watched television, went to the movies, or listened to radio in the 80s and 90s, you probably heard Suzanne Ciani's work whether you knew it or not. Suzanne is a five-time Grammy award nominated composer, electronic music pioneer, and neo-classical recording artist whose work has been featured in countless commercials, video games, and feature films. A Life In Waves explores Suzanne's life and innovations through her own eyes, offering a feminine glimpse into the world of electronic music.
With over 15 albums spanning 40 plus years, countless commercial scores and sound designs, Suzanne's catalog is among the richest and varied of any artist working today. With selections ranging from Suzanne's early modular experimentations, to her commercial sound design, to her romantic synthesizer works, to her delicate piano compositions, this soundtrack is the only collection of its kind. Like the film, it's a journey into Suzanne's mind, and a career-spanning exploration of this genre-defying artist.


VETERANS OF THE original 63D TENNESSEE
At the 2005 Fort Dickerson event in Knoxville, I was approached by a kind gentleman, Mr. Malcolm Rogers, who bore an invaluable gift. He presented me and the modern 63d Tennessee with a hard copy of an account from a veteran of the original 63d. This account was published well after the war, but provides a great deal of insight on the history of the regiment and the experience of a common soldier. I have since ran across a few other veteran histories which I will be adding to this page as I have transcribed them. Enjoy!
Capt. J. E. Noland

|Henry Mauk was a private in Company E out of Sullivan County. Company E was previously Company K in the 3rd Tenn (Vaughn's) that fought at the first battle of the war at Manassas. We have no information yet on when Pvt. Mauk was mustered in. One of the members of the modern 63rd, Lester Crosswhite, has a copy of Pvt. Mauk's letter, written apparently in July of 1863 while the 63rd Tenn. was in Cumberland Gap (would depart that summer) and later fight at the Battle of Chickamauga.|
|Robert M. Rhea|
|Robert Rhea of Blountville, Tennessee, served in Company F of the 63d Tennessee. He saw service to the very end and was the highest ranked soldier in the ranks the day of the surrender. He published an account of his service later in his life. Follow this link to read a transcription of his papers.|
|Nathan Bachman was 16 years old in March 1861 when he enlisted in a company of soldiers in Bristol, Tenn., which would later be mustered into the 3rd Tenn. (Vaughn's) which saw service at First Manassas. Just over a year later, his company would be reassigned to the 63d Tennessee, designated Co. E. He served as sergeant major and later as adjutant with the rank of 1st lieutenant.|
|Jesse Powell Cross|
This was submitted by e-mail to me on Feb. 22 from Sharon Steel-Smith, descendant of Pvt. Jesse Powell Cross. The submission and the information is greatly appreciated! Capt. Noland
"...Thank you for your wonderful website on the 63rd Tennessee. It's been a while since I visited, and I noticed that it has been greatly updated, and that you have posted some photos of veterans. I hope you won't mind my adding my ancestor's photo to your list.
I am attaching a photo of my 4x great-grandfather, Jesse Powell Cross of Sullivan County, Tennessee. He enlisted in the Confederate Army as a Private on 14 May 1862 in the 63rd Tennessee Infantry, Company F. He was wounded May 16, 1864 during the Battle of Drewry’s Bluff in Virginia, where he received a gunshot wound to his right thigh which splintered his femur, and was granted a sixty-day furlough on 26 May 1864. According to family notes, he was with General Lee at the surrender at Appomattox. He is buried at the Blountville Cemetery in Blountville, Tennessee, alongside his wife, Ester Cagle Cross.
His brother Sampson T. Cross also served in the 63rd, as did David Emmert, who was connected with the Cross family by marriage, and his four brothers: James, George, John, and Benjamin, who was in the 26th, but is listed with the 63rd. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of any of these veterans. We believe that the David Cross on the 63rd's roster was also a brother of Jesse and Sampson, since he enlisted the same day at the same location. Not that that's any solid proof, since he could have been a cousin, but by process of elimination on the census records, we're pretty sure they were all brothers.
Last year I joined my local UDC Chapter under Jesse Powell Cross, and am awaiting confirmation of my supplemental applications under my other Confederate ancestors. I am also working with my chapter to place an Iron Cross on Jesse Powell's grave, which I hope to have in place sometime this spring.
Thanks again for the wonderful website!

This likeness of Samuel Saffell was first found by me in the book Mountain Rebels by W. Todd Groce.
The caption under the photo reads:
"Samuel Saffell, c. 1862. Commissioned as first lieutenant in the Sixty-third Tennessee Infantry in May 1862. Saffell was typical of many East Tennesseans who waited until afer the Conscription Act to enlist in the Confederate army. He was mortally wounded near Petersburg in June 1864.

|Robert Kurtz Staton/Staten|
This excellent account of a veteran of the 63rd Tennessee was provided by James Howard Morelock of Savannah, GA.
Robert Kurtz Staton/Staten served in Company D of the 63rd Tennessee. He joined the regiment before it was organized in May 1862. Robert was in the battle of Chickamauga and made the advance against Snodgrass Hill. During the movement against Knoxville, he accidentally wounded himself while on guard duty and was sent to a hospital in Loudon. It was here, in December 1863, that he was captured. He spent the rest of the war imprisoned in Louisville, Kentucky, and then later in Rock Island, Illinois. He was exchanged in Richmond in March 1865, and sent home to Jonesborough, Tenn., and took the oath in April 1865.
Follow this link to a transcription of an email sent from Mr. Morelock to Captain Perry Hill of the modern 63rd. Included is a quoted letter written from Robert to his wife after the regiment was moved from Cumberland Gap to Tullahoma, TN, leading up to the battle of Chickamauga.

Story Walk & Poetry Walk
Sturgis District Library has been happy to bring StoryWalk® to our community. This outdoor display is an exciting new way to share a picture book. Children can practice reading skills and spend time in one of the many beautiful parks in the area.
StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson (a disease prevention specialist) of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Pages from a children's book are laminated and inserted into special display units, which are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story.
StoryWalks® have been installed in 50 states and 13 countries including, Germany, Canada, England, Bermuda, Russia, Malaysia, Pakistan and South Korea!
StoryWalk® inspired SDL to create PoetryWalk as a way to showcase the creative skills of community members of all ages. It is a collaboration between local students and artists; a celebration of language, emotion, visual art, and community. Across all cultures throughout history, people have used poetry and art to understand and communicate ideas about the world, about their lives, and about their emotions. Each year we select a variety of poems submitted by students from grades 3-12 and local artists volunteer to create illustrations. The poem and the illustration are then displayed together along a walking trail in a local park.


Updated eStore. Its taken me a while to update the eBooks.
You can now see a low resolution preview of the entire TaijiKinesis Vol 1 eBook as well as the revised edition of The Ip Man Question eBook, now renamed The Ip Man Questions.
The new eBook, The Ip Man Koans, is also presented in the eStore. The copy shown in eStore is a low resolution version. A high resolution version is also offered. Both cost nothing to read. It will make you think but to get the answers you can find them in The Ip Man Questions.
A new way to access the eBooks is presented. Readers no longer need to install files and can read the eBooks on PC, tablets and smartphones. The only catch is you need to have a WordPress account.
That’s it for now. Hopefully, I can still remember what I wanted to write about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th episodes of Artisans Reboot.


The Danish Open Access Indicator aims at providing transparency in regards to processes, data foundation, criterias etc. This page compiles information, important dates and user guides considered relevant for the Open Access implementors at the Danish universities.
The annual production cycle
The annual launch of the Open Access percentage in Denmark is the result of a year long process including testruns, hearing periods with the involvement of the universities, adjustments etc. A visual overview of the annual production cycle is available online.
Using external repositories
The Open Access Indicator measures Open Access from both local and other recognized Open Access repositories. An authority list of recognized external repositories is updated yearly, based on input from the Danish universities. During a hearing period, the universities may suggest new repositories to be added to the list.
The current authority list, the criteria for inclusion, and a guide to correct linking is explained in this guide.
Journals with long embargoes
In order to establish which journals have embargoes above the 12 months allowed in the National Open Access strategy, an authority list is gathered on a yearly basis. Embargolists from the largest publishers are collected and during a hearing period, the universities are asked to add to the list additional journals with embargoes exceeding the allowed 12 months. Articles published in any of these journals are classified as blocked Open Access in the Open Access Indicator.
The current list of journals with long embargos used for the Open Access Indicator 2021 calculation is available for download


In July Oskar Groening, the “accountant of Auschwitz ,” was found guilty of 300,000 charges of accessory to murder. His trial is considered to be one of the last trials of the Nazis who perpetrated the Holocaust.
Already, most who experienced the Holocaust are dead. Soon, all will be gone. But one group of people who were impacted by it remains: The children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors.
Their experiences are captured in God, Faith & Identity from the Ashes: Reflections of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors, a new book edited by Menachem Z. Rosensaft.
In the book, 88 children and grandchildren of survivors share how the Holocaust shaped them theologically, politically, culturally and in terms of identity, education and careers.
Although none of them experienced the Holocaust first-hand, all were deeply affected by it.
“We did not see our families murdered, we were never cold, we were never starved, we were never beaten,” says Rosensaft, a child of two survivors.
“We grew up in comfort. And yet what we do have, what sets us apart, is that we grew up with our parents and grandparents. We absorbed their stories firsthand.”
The book is divided into four sections: God and Faith, Identity, A Legacy of Memory, and Changing the World for the Better.
In the first section, the writers reflect on how the Holocaust affected their faith. Some choose to believe in God and kept their faith, while some dismiss the idea of loving or caring God completely. Others have landed somewhere in between.
Eric Neilson’s grandfather lost his parents and two brothers in the concentration camps, yet he kept his faith in God.
“It strikes me that, for all my doubts and questions, if my grandfather can go on thanking the God of Israel . . . then surely I ought to consider doing so as well,” the Harvard professor writes.
“God was not present in the survivor’s home in which I grew up,” writes Israeli artist Aliza Olmert. “The missing niche of faith was filled by a socialist worldview and uplifting patriotism.”
“Both the God of consolation and the accusation against God live within me,” says Rabbi Moshe Waldoks. Adds former New York Times reporter Joseph Berger: “What God’s culpability or at least responsibility was remains a mystery that I’ll never resolve.”
While reading the book one thing I found unexpectedly moving was how so many children of survivors grew up without any relatives—in Rosensaft’s case, both his parent’s entire immediate families were murdered.
“Like many children of survivors, I have been haunted by faceless phantoms of dozens and dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins,” writes Waldoks.
Growing up, Karen Friedman realized her family was different from her friends.
“Their family dynamics and experiences were just different from the rest of ours,” writes the grandchild of survivors. “I was always aware that my mother never knew what it was like to have grandparents.”
In 1984, Elie Wiesel, who survived both Auschwitz and Buchenwald , delivered the keynote address at the first conference of children of Holocaust survivors.
“It was you that the enemy sought to destroy,” he said. We were only the instruments. You were the enemy’s obsession. In murdering Jews, he wished to prevent you from being born.”
It would have been natural and logical for their parents to turn their back on the world, “to have opted for nihilism,” he went on to say. “And yet we have chosen you.”
And now, as the last trials of Nazis are held and the few remaining survivors pass away, these new chosen ones have the task of preserving the memory of their parents and grandparents for future generations.
“A generation will soon come of age having never heard firsthand testimony from a living Holocaust survivor," says Rosensaft. "The preservation and transfer of memory is the most critical mission that children and grandchildren of survivors must undertake.”
The stories in God, Faith & Identity from the Ashes show that many of them are taking that mission seriously.

After being sent through the ringer physically during Doctor No, a book which sees Bond abused by everything from hot plates to giant squid, he gets to take things relatively easy this time around, as the bulk of the story involves Bond doing little more than embarrassing eccentric millionaire and suspected SMERSH operative Auric Goldfinger in a series of sporting encounters.
From Russia with Love ends on a cliffhanger. James Bond is down! Poisoned by a crafty Russian agent! What will happen? Proceed to the next book to find out! Unfortunately, the cliffhanger is always better than the resolution, and Dr. No picks up the thread by going, “Boy, that sure was close, but now James is all better,” and away we go to Jamaica without much bother.
Diamonds are Forever was a vacation for 007, an enjoyable breather Ian Fleming took in between more substantial books. From Russia with Love finds Bond and the Bond books back in top form for one of the best-loved stories in the entire franchise. From Russia with Love deserves its lofty ranking, though to be honest, at the end of the adventure, we have another sightseeing excursion for Bond.
The Moneypenny Diaries is presented as excerpts from the secret diary of Jane “Miss” Moneypenny. It's a complex, bittersweet, even realistic alternate point of view of James Bond, as well as a meditation on the politics of the 1960s and the impact of Bond’s lifestyle and attitude on those around him — especially the women. It’s also a damn sight better than most of the official Bond continuation novels.
During the making of GoldenEye, Bond producers started planning for a sequel. Crime fiction writer Donald Westlake was hired to write the screenplay. The process never resulted in a finished movie, but it did give Westlake fodder to rework into Forever and a Death.
If Diamonds are Forever is any indication of the man's mindset, then Fleming was either tired of the formula established in his previous books or simply didn't know what to do. Diamonds are Forever is different from its predecessors though still enjoyable even if it's not what people might have expected after Moonraker and Live and Let Die.
Moonraker opens with Bond dealing with the mundane daily tasks of his job. We find out that he’s really only on book-worthy assignments a few times a year, and the bulk of his time is occupied with reading through dossiers and doing paperwork. Naturally, these quaint moments of "just another day at the offices of MI6" don’t last long. Bond is soon called in to M’s office for, he discovers, a purely personal matter...or so it seems at first.


The Giggling River: A Tale of Healing Laughter and Joyful Hearts
In a tranquil village nestled between emerald hills, life had always been peaceful. The villagers cherished the calming presence of the Giggling River that flowed through their land. Its melodic laughter echoed through the valley, bringing smiles to all who heard it.
One day, however, dark clouds gathered overhead, and the villagers faced adversity for the first time. Crops withered, and spirits grew heavy. The Giggling River's laughter seemed to fade, replaced by a somber hush that mirrored the villagers' hearts.
Amidst the gloom, a young girl named Mia felt a deep yearning for the river's joyful sounds. Determined to restore the river's laughter, she set out on a quest to uncover the river's secret. Guided by a twinkling firefly named Lumie, Mia journeyed to the river's source.
Deep within the heart of the forest, Mia encountered a wise old oak tree named Oren. Oren revealed that the river's laughter was a reflection of the village's joy, and its silence mirrored their sorrow. To bring back the laughter, the village needed to rediscover the joy in their hearts.
With Oren's guidance, Mia returned to the village and shared her wisdom. The villagers came together, remembering the moments that had brought them joy—their laughter during festivals, the warmth of shared meals, and the comfort of friendship.
As the villagers shared their stories, the Giggling River's laughter began to return, its gentle chuckles growing into joyous guffaws. Mia's heart swelled with happiness, knowing that their efforts had rekindled the river's mirth.
With the river's laughter once again filling the air, the village's spirits lifted. They worked together to revive their land, tending to their crops and rebuilding their homes. The Giggling River's laughter became a reminder that even in the toughest of times, finding joy could heal hearts and mend spirits.
Years passed, and Mia's tale of healing laughter became a cherished legend. The village thrived, and the Giggling River continued to flow with unbridled joy. Mia's story was a reminder that joy could be found within, that even the darkest moments could be overcome with the laughter of the heart.
And so, as the villagers gathered by the river's banks, they celebrated life's beauty and the healing power of joy. The Giggling River's laughter danced through the air, a timeless melody that echoed the resounding truth—the path to healing was paved with the laughter of a joyful heart.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote a lot of fairy tales. But he tends to be forgotten for the more aptly named Grimm Brothers, despite the fact that Andersen was the author of, among others, “The Little Mermaid”, “Thumbelina”, and “The Snow Queen”. One of my favorites is “The Red Shoes“. Like most of Andersen’s stories, “The Red Shoes” is a moral tale and tells the story of the vain, selfish and disobedient Karen who is condemned to dance until she dies because of her red shoes. Redemption comes at the end when the chastised Karen feels true repentance.
Plenty of illustrations have been made for this particular story. My sister’s favorite is the lovely watercolor version by Chihiro Iwasaki (right). The website SurLaLune Fairy Tales has a short list of other illustrations for the story here. The color illustrations of course give prime importance to the red shoes. Interestingly enough, most illustrators depict Karen as a young girl. Most likely Andersen did not mean for her to be thought of as such since a young girl would not attend balls. But like most fairy tales, many people assume that they are about/for children when in reality, they are not.
There have been other adaptations of “The Red Shoes” as well. My sister and I used to watch a film version as kids. The whole thing seems to be on Youtube now and is definitely one creepy ballet. (Quality is not the best.)
Speaking of ballet, the 1948 movie The Red Shoes starring Moira Shearer is a well known movie loved by ballet and fairy tale fans alike. Loosely based on Andersen’s story, Shearer plays Victoria, a woman torn between dancing and the man she loves.
Also loosely based on the original tale is the Korean horror movie, The Red Shoes. I have not seen it, so I can offer no real insight about it here. Imdb.com has all the info here.
Personally, I love red shoes. I am wearing a gorgeous pair of red lace-up boots as I write this and I own about 5 or 6 more pairs of red shoes. Considering I only own about 25 pairs to begin with, that’s quite a bit. But I can promise you, I always remember the story of Karen when I put on a pair of red shoes, which I suppose is Andersen’s entire point to the story.
But as Andersen himself says, “nothing in the world can be compared with red shoes.”


This is an important find as the last major discoveries of Prešeren's manuscripts were made in the 1960s, Miran Hladnik of the Faculty of Arts has told the news portal of public broadcaster RTV Slovenija.
Zibelnik sent the two manuscripts, Slovo od mladosti (A Farewell to Youth) and Dohtar (Doctor), to Ljubljana, where a spectral analysis will be carried out to check their authenticity, Hladnik explained.
"But since the two documents fit in perfectly with the five or six other variants of the two poems discovered so far, there is no doubt about their authenticity and an article in the Slavistična revija journal will explain how 19th century manuscripts can be dated with spectral analysis," he said.
After being displayed at the Faculty of Arts, the manuscripts will be sent back to be put on show at the Slovenian Museum and Archives in Cleveland, in line with the wishes of their owner Evgen Favetti.
The news portal has also reported that both manuscripts were signed by Prešeren and well-preserved. They are written in two old Latin scripts, A Farewell to Youth in the bohoričica and Dohtar in the gajica. Both scripts were used in Slovenian in the 19th century.
The two poems came out in 1830 in a Slovenian poetry magazine. A Farewell to Youth describes the poet's reflections on life, while the love ballad Doctor describes the poet's pain over his loved one.


Packaging and the tide of history
A quick follow up to my previous post because I forgot to mention some things as part of the conclusion (it was 5am, it happens).
The observation I wanted to make was, that developers are already rejecting the kind of packaging principles that package maintainers cling to. Ruby has bundler, node has (well, a bunch of things, npm shrinkwrap. There’s even this thing called docker that lets you build a whole mini environment with tailored versions of anything, for deploying polyglot applications. I could probably find more examples. The point is, all this stuff has emerged in the past few years (with the exception of erlang releases, which have been around for a long time, but have recently come into vogue).
I think this trend reflects the explosion in the open source ecosystem; there’s libraries for everything now. The problem is, most of these libraries are maintained by different people with varying levels of experience, knowledge about compatability issues and ideas of versioning (not to mention testing methodology). I regularly see backwards incompatible changes pushed in minor releases, semantic versioning be damned, and that’s fine. If the project’s code is solid, I’m happy to let the maintainer run it their own way. Even Riak isn’t terribly good at this, some of our libraries are semver, some are versioned for marketing reasons (riak 1.0 sells better than riak 0.15). Also remember, that in this era of github, lots of good libraries don’t even do versioning (at least not in their early stages).
However, this shift to many small, independently maintained libraries means that the old approach of installing a library as its own package becomes increasingly complicated and failure prone. A common library being bumped now means that all the packages that depend on it need to be re-verified and checked for subtle breakage. Back in the day, the gAIM developers refused to accept bugreports from Gentoo users because of the packaging changes Gentoo made.
Another parallel is to look at operating system kernels and the userland. Many operating systems ship with a ‘world’ which is a small bare minimum set of applications to provide a useful environment. Some ‘world’ installs are larger than others (OSX is particularly bloated, bundling things like stale versions of ruby, which impact applications needing a newer version). For operating systems with a reasonable policy on what is included in the world, the kernel and the world can be upgraded in lockstep. The BSDs are a particularly good example of this, they provide a minimal set of useful things and then provide package management on top of it. Many linux distributions provide a smaller set of essential packages, so they have the risk that updating one core dependency can break everything. I remember all too well breaking my Gentoo install by upgrading libstdc++ and breaking gentoo’s ‘emerge’ tool, which was written in python (this is really fun to fix). The BSDs usually provide a compiler and a libc as part of the world, so that kind of breakage is very hard to do by accident (of course, other compilers are often available via the package manager).
Now, I’m not saying that a rails application should bundle a postgres install (but maybe it could, if you had good reason) but that the idea that libraries can be easily shared between applications in this modern era of large, fast moving, differently maintained library ecosystems is kind of a fallacy. Maybe this is some manifestation of the tragedy of the commons, but it is still the world we live in and our packaging should reflect that, not ignore it.
So, package managers, take note of what developers are doing and try to think of ways to adapt, lest you find yourselves on the wrong side of history (and having us reject all the bugreports from your packages).
As some further reading, check out Jared’s slides on node_package, the tool we use at Basho to package erlang releases as operating system packages (for 6 different platforms, no less). This is the future of packaging, I believe, where the package contains the library ecosystem needed to run the application as the maintainer has intended (and QAed). I know it might use more disk space, but storage is cheap, and compromising reliability for a few megabytes on disk is crazy.

and The library is having some special kind of week, and it's all about reading. I expected that, cause it's a library, don't you know! But they keep talking about 'band books'. They have this really cool display set up, with posters and 'Attention' tape...but there are no books about bands there...hmm...
They have some really neat books, though, and some I've only seen once or twice. There's "And Tango Makes Three", "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Giver", not to mention a couple shelves more! There are a few movies and stuff, all of it sounds really neat.
Wait, I just read the posters they have there. I guess, at one time or another, these are all books and stuff that got banned, or people tried to stop them from getting printed. I guess they didn't like what the stories were about. I Don't really like stories about hunting and trapping, and things like that. *shudder* But other people might like them, so I just won't read them myself.
I wonder what kind of stories there are in these books?


Frits – Ølhundens søn
Documentary film by Per Wennick. The film portrays the great artist’s life – the many direct, and indirect battles, both on stage and in his private life. Helmuth was one of the greatest actors of his generation. In his own words, he “… worked without a break for 50 years and loved it…”, in many ways duplicating his father’s working rage and long periods of absence from the family.
The film was shown on DR1 in January 2013 and was nominated for Best Documentary of 2013.

Press Play Poem – a history and theory of video poetry
The Last Time We Were Here
Just over 500 years ago something happened that, depending upon who you ask, was either the beginning of the end for poetry, or it provided a new way to experience poetry. This something was the confluence of the technologies that allowed the easy replication of written texts and literacy. As texts became more available, more people engaged with written language and learned how to read, learned how to write, and learned how to be literate within their contemporary societies.
Poetry originated as an oral art form and evolved to include the modality of written language as well as spoken language. To hear poems read at live performances or as recordings continue to provide a compelling experience of poetry. We also read poems as written language on the page, screen, or other physical surfaces. The production and distribution of these texts are a collaborative process among craftworkers and artists who take a text and, through design and production, make books that employ specific typography, colors, textures, and sometimes illustrations. It was the ability to easily replicate written texts and literacy that not only influenced the manner we experience poetry, but also it influenced the manner in which poems are created allowing poetry to evolve. In other words, the emergent technologies of a given time should free poets to consider in new ways what makes a poem relevant for readers in its time.
So, how do we experience poetry? Language provides two semiotic modes: written language and spoken language. But, what if we combine poetry with images or illustrations? This experience could be described or defined as multimodal. We experience the poetry through the modality of language and the images through the modality of the visible. And what if we combine poems with music? Again, this creates for us, the listener, a multimodal experience. What if we combine all of these modalities into one media as a way to present the poem? The experience will be multimodal. Where then, is poetry realized? What I’m fascinated by is, will the experience inspire imagery in the listener/viewer/reader’s imagination so that he or she will describe the experience as poetry or literature?
It seems we are again at a confluence of technologies. These technologies that are becoming ubiquitous for our contemporary society provide a multimodal experience within a particular media, allows for the easy replication and distribution of this particular media, and there is a rising literacy and adoption rate for this media.
What happens if we apply these technologies to the making and distribution of poems? What would we call this genre, these poems, that promise the possibility of a multimodal experience of poetry, that somehow remains literary, and is distributed and experienced via one medium? It’s called video poetry, or videopoetry, or video poem, or videopoem, film poem, motion poem, moving poem, film-poem, film poetry, cinepoems, visible verse, and other names. So the confusion of naming must come from the emergent nature of the genre? Not really.
Most people agree that the practice of presenting poems via film or video in the United States began in 1912 with the poetry film titled “Manhatta (youtube).” This poetry film, as it was called by its creators, was based on the poem of the same name by Walt Whitman and was directed and produced by Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand and is about 10 minutes in length. The poetry film presents the text of the poem on the screen interspersed with images of Manhattan, New York. The film images of New York do not “illustrate” the narrative of the poem so much as provide a visual support layer for the text. The text of the poem was presented on the screen due to the technological constraint that films were silent then, synchronous sound hadn’t yet been invented.
About the same time in Paris, in 1928, Man Ray directed what he called a cinepoem titled “L’Étoile de mer (youtube)” based on a poem by Robert Desnos. Similar to “Manhatta,” “L’Étoile de mer” presented the text of the poem on the screen though relied on the action in the film to provide a narrative juxtaposition with the text of the poem not unlike the experience of reading an illustrated Dr. Seuss book.
The contemporary practice of making videopoems is generally attributed to Tom Konyves who, in 1978 along with Endre Farkas and Ken Norris (all of them members of the avant guard Vehicule Poets), produced what he called a videopoem (all one word) titled “Sympathies of War.” In his essay, “Videopoetry: A Manifesto (PDF),” Konyves defines videopoetry as:
Videopoetry is a genre of poetry displayed on a screen, distinguished by its time-based, poetic juxtaposition of images with text and sound. In the measured blending of these three elements, it produces in the viewer the realization of a poetic experience. Presented as a multimedia object of a fixed duration, the principal function of a videopoem is to demonstrate the process of thought and the simultaneity of experience, expressed in words – visible and/or audible – whose meaning is blended with, but not illustrated by, the images and the soundtrack.
Like Roland Barthes presents in his essay, “The Death of the Author (PDF),” Konyves tests videopoetry against the reader’s, or viewer’s, experience rather than the supremacy or intention of the author.
Heather Haley, a curator for the Visible Verse videopoetry festival describes videopoems as, “a wedding of word and image. Unlike a music video—the inevitable and ubiquitous comparison—a videopoem stars the poem rather than the poet, the voice seen as well as heard.”
And Kurt Heintz of e-poets.net, explains that, “Our extension of poetry into video seems only to ratify a deeper understanding, as poets and performers, that poetry rests in a continuous spectrum of expanded genres. Even in its most essential form, it demolishes the old assumption that page and poem are one.”
In Multimodal Discourse: the Modes and Media of Contemporary Communication, Gunther Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen describe four practices of multimodal representation that I have found helpful in my examination of videopoems. These are: discourse, design, production, and distribution. I want to quickly apply Kress and Van Leeuwen’s model to the process of making a videopoem.
The first phase, discourse, is simply the idea phase where the poet finds a line or image that inspires her imagination and she begins writing and revising the poem.
The design phase is where the poem begins to reveal itself and the poet begins to consider how she might best engage the reader/listener/viewer’s senses. Kress and Van Leeuwen describe designs as the use of semiotic resources. The design phase is when a poet will begin making decisions about how, as Konyves says, to blend images and soundtrack with the text in a measured way—whether to present text on the screen or as narration, what music might support the text, what images or video might support the text, and how these will interact and blend with one another.
I want to pause briefly here to describe the most common modes of videopoems because understanding these forms during the design phase will be helpful to the poet’s decision-making process. These are: kinetic typography or kinetic text, recording of live performance (documentation), poem slideshows, motion-illustrated poems, and videopoems.
The production phase is, “the organization of the expression to the actual material articulation of the semiotic event or artifact.” In other words, this is where the poem will be made physical as the poet implements her design using various technologies for capturing and recording audio and video and editing these together.
Authorship of videopoems, in the way many consider literary authorship, becomes muddied during this phase of making a multimodal videopoem. Why? Because very often, a poet will not have the necessary technical skills to shoot and/or edit video but will provide the design inspiration to someone else who does have this expertise. In order for the poem to be presented as a videopoem, poets often collaborate with other artists and musicians. In this respect, making a videopoem is similar to writing, directing, and launching a theatrical work or cinema.
Conversely, there are people who seem to have no end of creative talent who can write a poem and then fully realize and produce the poem as a videopoem without the technical assistance of others. These are called multiskilled artists.
The pianist and recording artist Glenn Gould gets at this very idea of both collaborative authorship and the emergent multiskilled artist in his 1966 essay titled, “The Prospects of Recording (PDF).” With respect to the relationship between a composer and a recording engineer, he writes, “It may well be that the effect of editorial afterthought upon performance (decisions made by a recording engineer in this case) will breed a new type of technician-cum-performer whose realizations of the diagrammatic intention will be just as essential to the reputation of a composer as was the devotion of the itinerant virtuoso in earlier times. ‘Autocracy,’ then, as a description of the composing process in the electronic age, may simply suggest the possibility that the composer will become involved in some portion of each procedure through which his intention is made explicit in sound.” And this is part of that convergence of technologies we’re experiencing today. With a laptop and very inexpensive software, a relative novice technician has the ability to record, create, and edit audio and video.
The final step in realizing a videopoem is distribution. Kress and Van Leeuwen separate distribution from production because the distribution method of a multimodal artifact does not change or influence its meaning. For example, a video is a video whether it is streamed via the Web to a computer or played in a DVD on a television screen. Of course, this is contrary to the Blue-Ray ads at the beginning of rented movies.
I think this model allows us to view the possibility of videopoems as an emergent literary experience. It also provides poets a clear workflow process of how to take a poem from the page to a multimodal literary experience called a videopoem.
So where exactly can one find videopoems? You can discover videopoems poking around on video-sharing websites like youtube and vimeo, but these are difficult to find in search. For curated videopoetry experiences, I recommend the following websites.
Dave Bonta is a guy who really digs videopoems and he curates the movingpoems.com website. He culls through videos on youtube and vimeo and publishes on his website videopoems that inspire him. If you have a videopoem you’d like to have published, movingpoems.com is a possible venue for you. Dave only publishes poems that are publicly available on video-sharing websites.
Poet and UAA MFA graduate Todd Boss and video animator Angella Kassube founded the motionpoems.com website in 2008. The videopoems found here are all professionally designed and produced. They do not take submissions. They’re mission is to connect literary presses with digital video animators in order to create videopoems of the highest production quality possible.
The Continental Review publishes videopoems along with other topics in poetry in video format only. Their website states that, “The Continental Review aims to be: a forum for video readings of new poetry, a forum for diverse poetic/cinematic/multi-media experiences, and a forum for video interviews and filmed discussions on poetics.”
The Zebra Poetry Film Festival in Berlin is the premier videopoetry festival in the world.
I would like to suggest that the more we find ourselves at computer screens and tethered to mobile devices, the more we should expect to find poetry in these environments. You’ll find that they fit nicely in so many places, like at your computer in your office in the seven minutes before a department meeting. Or, on your smartphone while waiting for the bus. Expect poetry when you’re at your computer and press play poem.

Proofreading is usually done these days using a PDF file of the layout. Once the designer or author has laid out the book or article ready for publication, that’s when proofreading happens to make sure everything is in the right place and to catch any last-minute errors or changes. But what does the PDF markup look like for you, the client?
Here is a handy short video showing what typical PDF markup looks like and how to make sure that you find all the amendments and comments.

About Animal Town Edit
Animal Town is a little series that was started on August 30, 2015. It follows the adventures of Ollie the cat as he goes on many adventures with other cats across Animal Town, including Simba, Ebony, Sammie, Jasmine, and Tux, the other five main characters.
Each of the episodes, which airs every Sunday, follows the six main characters going on numerous adventures across the town helping the citizens and more fun activities. The series is mostly for preschoolers to 2nd graders.
Background of Animal Town Edit
Long ago, there were ancestors of the six main characters: Ollie, Simba, Ebony, Sammie, Jasmine, and Tux. The ancestors on both Ebony and Ollie's side were good friends for a mere 20 years, and this is how both of their biological parents got to know each other. The ancestors on Sammie's side were all teachers of the Magic Arts, a type of magic skill found within Animal Town. However, the ancestors on Simba's side discovered dragons, and this caused the dragons to coexist with the animals living in Animal Town.
Many of the main characters' ancestors and family members were war heroes called Exemplars, which were legendary war heroes thriving to protect the animals and dragons of Animal Town.
Throughout the years after the six cats have met each other, they would go on many adventures throughout Animal Town, and along with them came Thunder the Horse, Timber the Wolf, Rusty the Golden Retriever, Billy the Goat, and Rugby the Wyvern Dragon.


Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
Need advice on finance, personal development, relationships, health, enterprise, travel?
Wouldn't it be handy if we could know in advance more about the above and many other matters before we made decisions on them?
Well ... surprise surprise ... we can.
For more than four thousand years the I Ching oracle has been giving guidance to people seeking direction and assurance.
The I Ching can often provide a wonderful source of advice when we are faced with difficult decisions, when we find ourselves at a crossroads in life, in matters of relationships and with health issues. And, of course, in matters of finance.
Its unique properties offer not only a Yes/No answer, but also show a way to make the best of the situation about which it is being consulted.
Now you too can access the I Ching's wisdom and farsightedness. Why not contact us for a complete and personalised I Ching reading?
Leonie, The Netherlands:
"When I asked you for a reading I did not have any expectation what was going to happen. I was very surprised with the answer: work on what has been spoiled and be very careful on how to proceed. That is how I understood it.
Yes, I would recommend you to other people."
Juliana, Puerto Rico:
"The I Ching reading was an excellent way to find out if moving our practice to a new location was a good idea. Barry did it in a timely manner and the explanation was thorough and complete. Thank you.
We will use it again."
Matusha, Florida, U.S.A.
"... The reading was part of the stepping stone of the Universe brought to my life through Barry's channeling of the I Ching intuition and talent. The reading allowed me to consolidate years of self-discovery and hard work in trying to figure out my life. The reading also brought a series of dreams and epiphanies that have moved through leaps of self-realizations and self-assurances which have created a transformation in my life.
I believe the hour Barry and I spend on my reading is the best time invested in my life in a long, long time."
René, Vinkeveen, The Netherlands:
"I found Barry's I Ching full of insight. The reading addressed the topic concerned and brought up some useful material for further contemplation."

I Love Maps...And So Should You
They show a love for the reader.
I recently purchased a book based solely on the maps it contained. It was Rick Atkinson’s The British Are Coming, and I felt immediate delight flipping its pages and seeing the care taken to lay it out properly.
Look at how helpful this map is in providing context. The map is also not tucked away in the front of the book or relegated to the back. It appears across from the page that begins the account of the British retreat from Concord. The book has twenty-three other maps just as helpful as this one, listed at the beginning of the book for easy reference.
It's such a simple thing. I rarely encounter this much love for the reader. Here’s another one.
Bad Maps Can Be Worse Than No Maps
Most books of history get their maps wrong, especially books dealing with wars and military movements. They slap a few maps at the beginning and call it a day. The reader is left to thumb back and forth to get some context, not really sure which map will provide the best picture. Many times, he searches in vain, thus wasting precious reading time.
A recent example was Andrew Robert’s Churchill biography. A wonderful read. Almost useless maps. Many times, I found myself trying to place momentous events on what should have been the obvious map, only to discover that the city was not present or the island was not labeled. This happened about 50% of the time. Places of momentous occasion were nowhere to be found. I found myself wishing there had been no maps at all.
What a waste.
Going in the Right Direction
But it seems he learned his lesson. His Grant biography has great maps of the biggest battles. However, they are grouped at the beginning of the book, crammed together, all at a safe distance from the words that describe the events. Sure, they’re better than nothing, but the experience doesn’t bring delight.
The Gold Standard
The first books I came across to really get maps right were the Landmark editions of Herodotus and Thucydides. Maps are embedded in the text and contain only the features that are mentioned in the immediate context. No fluff. Only clarity.
This is now my expectation for any historical text. Anything less is a disappointment, and I have gotten used to disappointment. That’s why Atkinson’s book was such a surprise.
Why do we find such interest in the maps of Middle Earth? Why do most fantasy novels have some kind of map to represent their fictional worlds? Because maps are useful guides. Because they’re fun to pour over. A map is a functional piece of art.
If maps are such an important part of the fantasy landscape, detailing fictional worlds, we should understand why they should be an important part of the non-fictional landscape. With a good map, a reader might discover the key to a door they thought was locked to their understanding.
The reader isn’t dumb. Maps are not required to understand the words. But it’s the difference between eating at a chain restaurant and being treated to a sublime dining experience with an expert wait staff.
Geography and history go together like two pieces of a puzzle. They are soulmates. This goes double for military history. Without some kind of grasp of the terrain and layout, the reader is missing something important.
Maps are especially helpful for children when they learn history. It grounds the stories in reality. The spatial aspect helps them understand sequences of events. Always have a good map ready when reading history to children.

The Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library
at Medgar Evers College
July 6 – December 31, 2017
The Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library at Medgar Evers College (MEC) presents The Students: A Study of Color and Light works by Donovan Nelson. This is the inaugural in a 5-year series of exhibitions designed to present contemporary art in a historical context, and a continuation of MEC’s commitment to providing a platform for the consideration and study of art. The exhibition will be on view until October 6, 2017.
Completed 17 years ago, over a period of 5 days, the 35 portraits in this series were created from life at the very beginning of Donovan Nelson’s teaching career. With the exception of the one self-portrait, the subjects are Nelson’s former students, and the setting is a high school classroom in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York.
The series was first conceived as a demonstration for an assignment that required each student to create his or her own portrait. Nelson decided to utilized portraiture as a teaching mechanism, for his students and himself, to resolve the difficulties in properly rendering color and light from direct observation. The resulting works raise many questions including, how might the ease or difficultly of access to a particular teaching style affect how young people learn, and how can access to art change our perception of ourselves?
The works bear witness to Nelson’s attempt to reach his students, and his progress as a portrait artist. As the works are viewed in succession, we see Nelson move from depicting the color appearance revealed in the soft glow of natural light, to recording the presence of artificial light; and, the stark contrast it creates in the range of colors that comprise the skin tones of his subjects.
The eureka moment is revealed in Student #11 as the spectrum of colors in the skin become the subject, in the absence of a recognizable face. According to Nelson, it was his former instructor Nelson Shanks, the first American artist to paint the Pope, who at the time the works were created told him “Don’t paint the skin, paint the color of the light.” Similar to the Migration of the Negro series by Jacob Lawrence and Chris Ofili’s Afro Muses, this series was created at a pivotal moment in Nelson’s career and marks the evolution of his studio practice.
Donovan Nelson was born in 1969 in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1994, he received a B.F.A. in illustration from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Nelson also studied portraiture and figure painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts. In 1996, he received a M.F.A. in painting from the New York Academy of Art. Nelson has devoted the majority of his practice to rendering the likeness, personality, and the real or perceived status of the person through portraiture. Among his notable commissions are Reverend Floyd Flake, Edison O. Jackson, the former president of MEC, and Brooklyn’s first black state Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Williams.
The works in this exhibition are on loan from the Valentine Museum of Art’s (VMOA) permanent collection. VMOA’s collecting strategy is primarily geared toward thematically based bodies of work created by contemporary artists.
