In addition to demhur`s book and book, there is also an eBook, a four-colour picture book, a card game and an online course.  The fourth agreement allows readers to have a better understanding of the progress made in achieving their goals in life. This agreement involves the integration of the first three agreements into daily life and the exploitation of its own potential.  It is a matter of doing the best that can be managed individually, which varies from the different situations and circumstances that the individual may encounter. Ruiz believes that if you judge yourself and do your best at all times, you will be able to avoid remorse.  By integrating the first three chords and doing the best in all facets of life, the individual will be able to lead a life without grief or self-awareness.  The book is based on a series of spiritual beliefs held by Toltec`s elderly to help readers transform their lives into a new experience of freedom, happiness and love.  According to the author, everything a man does is based on agreements he has made with himself, with others, with God and with life itself.  In these agreements, we can tell ourselves who they are, how to behave, what is possible and what is impossible.
 Some agreements that create individuals may not cause problems, but there are certain arrangements that come from a place of fear and have the power to deplete emotional energy and reduce a person`s self-esteem.  The book states that these self-limiting agreements cause unnecessary suffering.  Ruiz also believes that to find personal joy, one must get rid of socially imposed and fear-based agreements that can unconsciously influence the individual`s behaviour and thinking.  Another fundamental premise of the book suggests that much of the suffering is created and that most people have the ability to transform themselves and the negative thoughts they have about the situations in their lives.  The author identifies the sources of unhappiness in life and proposes four beneficial agreements that can be concluded with oneself to improve their general state of well-being. By pacting with these four most important chords, an individual is able to dramatically influence the amount of happiness he feels in his life, regardless of external circumstances.  This four-colour illustrated edition of The Four Agreements celebrates the 15th anniversary of a classic of personal growth. With more than 10 years on the New York Times bestseller list and more than 9 million printed copies, The Four Agreements remains at the top of the bestseller list. In the four chords, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting convictions that deprive us of joy and create unnecessary suffering. Based on the ancient wisdom of Toltec, the four chords offer a powerful code of conduct that can quickly transform our lives into a new experience of freedom, true happiness and love. „This book by Don Miguel Ruiz, Simple but so powerful, made a huge difference in the way, „The book of Don Miguel Ruiz is a roadmap for enlightenment and freedom.“ – Deepak Chopra, author, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success „An Inspiring Book with Many Great Lessons“ – Wayne Dyer, author, Real Magic „In the Tradition of Castaneda Ruiz distills the wisdom of toltec and essential wisdom with clarity and incuity.

Frequently, you just need another computer for testing software, trying out network configurations, or doing any of a dozen things that engineers and administrators need to do. VMware allows you to run several virtual machines on one physical computer, each completely independent of the others at all levels and each potentially running a different operating system. The Book of VMware provides full documentation on running both versions of this tremendously useful utility--Windows and Linux--and goes into great detail on how it goes about dividing the resources of a single physical box. If you want to know how the Linux version of VMware manages the file systems of a Windows guest operating system, or how USB devices are shared across multiple virtual machines, this book is the single best resource for you.

The Gilder Leherman Institute of American History
Two thousand Mormon women gathered at the Salt Lake Theatre on Saturday, March 6, 1886, to protest the “indignities and insults heaped upon them as wives and daughters of Mormons” in Utah district courts. Under the direction of Mary Isabella Horne, elected president of the protest meeting, 33 women presented personal statements reacting to the legal and political ramifications of the pending Edmunds-Tucker Bill then before Congress, which included the loss of voting privileges and self-government. These women, motivated by restricted religious rights, were prompted to political action.
Following the March 1886 mass meeting, the women compiled the proceedings into a 91-page pamphlet, “Mormon” Women’s Protest: An Appeal for Freedom, Justice and Equal Rights, to distribute in Washington and elsewhere. Originally printed in the local newspaper and then published in pamphlet form, the text includes the news notices prior to the event, transcripts of speeches, resolutions, and poems composed for the occasion, and undelivered speeches and letters written for the event. Women involved included female doctors, teachers, authors and poets, women’s rights advocates, religious and community leaders, and mothers.
Political and social leaders outside Utah were concerned with the Mormon religious practice of polygamy. Plural marriage was adopted in the LDS Church from 1852 to 1890 in an effort to restore biblical practice and encourage family support. Studies suggest that twenty to twenty-five percent of LDS adults were members of polygamous households during this era. Federal injunctions followed within a decade of the public announcement of plural marriage as an official tenet of Mormon faith in 1852. In 1856 the Republican platform shouldered responsibility for ending "those twin relics of barbarism—polygamy and slavery". Republican politicians sited Utah as an example of what happened when territorial citizens governed themselves. The 1862 Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act aimed to prosecute polygamists but proved to be impossible to enforce.
Various legislative actions occurred over the next two decades as Congress restricted political and legal rights based on LDS religious practice, suggesting that Utah Territory be prevented from becoming a state until plural marriage was abandoned. The Cragin Bill in 1868 and the Cullom Bill of 1869-70 were passed to remedy the deficiencies of the Morrill Act. Republicans worked to revoke the voting rights of anyone who believed in plural marriage. Women were compelled to testify against their husbands, and all involved were convicted of "concubinage," fined, and sentenced to prison. The 1882 Edmunds Act removed polygamists from jury and public office, and Congress established a Utah commission modeled after post-Civil War reconstruction government to run territorial affairs.
Mormon women responded en masse. While the Latter-day Saints respected the Constitution, promising to honor civic leaders and obey the law of the land, they felt that these congressional acts violated freedom of religion. The 1886 protest meeting ironically prompted patriotism, where Mrs. H.C. Brown stated:
"We are here, not as Latter-day Saints, but as American citizens—members of that
great commonwealth which our noble grandsires fought and bled to establish—legal heirs to those rights and privileges bequeathed to that heaven-inspired document—the Constitution of the United States. Yes, legal heirs, yet illegally, unconstitutionally deprived of that dearest, most cherished of all."
The public political action of Latter-day Saint women had its roots in the inception of their religious female association, the Relief Society, in 1842. Members delivered petitions to Illinois governor Thomas Carlin in defense of Joseph Smith and his illegal imprisonment. Thirty years later in Utah women reacted to antipolygamy legislation with similar activity. They wrote letters, sent memorials, and urged people to testify before Congress. To show their solidarity and commitment to their beliefs, three thousand women gathered at a "Great Indignation Meeting" in Salt Lake City in January 1870. Throughout the month, the structure of that meeting was repeated in over fifty Utah settlements in their various Relief Society organizations, where countless LDS women publicly defended their right to practice their religion. This public effort led to the pursuit of the vote for women, particularly in conjunction with a popular belief outside the territory that women would then vote to remove polygamy. By February of 1870 acting territorial governor S.A. Mann granted Utah women suffrage, second only to Wyoming. This movement precipitated an 1871 visit of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Utah and created bridges with national women’s organizations.
Meanwhile Utah women of other faiths opposing plural marriage prepared counter memorials to Congress and the President under the auspices of the Utah-based Anti-Polygamy Society, founded in 1878. In 1886 Angie Newman, with the Methodist Episcopal Home Missionary Society and congressional support, built a Salt Lake City home for disenchanted plural wives and their children. They believed their benevolent efforts would arouse sympathy and rescue victimized women. However, the number of applicants seldom reached twenty in any given year, and by 1893 the refuge closed. The eventual passage of the Edmunds-Tucker Act nullified already operative civil rights and duties, including woman suffrage. More than 12,000 Mormons in Utah were disfranchised. In 1890 Church president Wilford Woodruff [only publicly, not privately] abolished new plural marriages, and Utah was admitted as a state in 1896, when once again Utah women gained the vote.
Some historians suggest that the principle of plural marriage had unexpected benefits in politicizing Mormon women. Due to shared domestic responsibilities and the combined efforts of "sister wives," women built and managed cooperative stores and a local silk industry, maintained a grain storage program, established welfare and home industry, edited a major women’s newspaper, attended medical school and developed a women’s hospital with community nurse and midwife training, led women’s suffrage efforts, and participated in public education and higher education. Liberal divorce laws in Utah gave women legal rights; property laws allowed women to own land and maintain their own households. Latter-day Saint women found common cause and gained political experience in pursuing their religious freedoms.

Serampore- Johnnagar Baptist Church, formerly the Carey Baptist Church was founded by Rev. Dr. William Carey in the year 1880. William Carey, Ward and Marshman lived in the parsonage of this church. The river Ganges flows in front of the church. One portion of the church housed his press for printing purpose. Carey himself, with the help of pundits translated the full Bible into Bengali, Sanskrit, Oriya, Hindi, Marathi and Assamese. He also wrote a Bengali Grammar and a Bengali dictionary. The Serampore College and the Carey’s Baptist Church were regarded as places of pilgrimage.
Mr. Krishna Mohan Pal the first Bengali of Serampur was baptised by William Carey.
William Carey – the Great Visionary
Dr. William Carey was born on august 17, 1761 in Paulerspury, an obscure village of Northamptonshire, England. He founded the Baptist Missionary Society in Britain and as its first representative arrived in Bengal on November 11th, 1793. His motto was,
“Expect great things from God
Attempt great things from God”
The British East India Company had aroused, in the closing decades of the 18th century, new thoughts which quickened the latent greed of the colonial masters as well as the colonised natives. The people were thrown into a state of stagnation and inertia. At this crucial moment, Carey, Marshman and Ward appeared in this part of the continent and brought us something which we needed very much, something which neither the greedy traders nor the arrogant colonial masters could provide.
William Carey was particularly instrumental in creating the fervour of our National awakening, prior to Raja Rammohan Roy. Carye’s biographer, George Smith has written, “Carey was successively and often at the same time, a captain of labour, a schoolmaster, a printer, a developer of vernacular speech, an expounder of classical language, a translator, a purifier of society, the watchful philanthropist, the saviour of the widow and the fatherless. This gives an idea of then vastness of the fields in which Cary plodded throughout his life.”
Carey’s missionary zeal had its root in deep feelings for the helpless innocent people who were made victims of various inhuman practices. Throughout his life not for the single moment had he detached himself from the sufferings of these poor victims. To his great satisfaction hr found at the end of his life that all the cruel practices (for which he landed movements) were abolished.
John Nagar Church
The story of Johan Nagar Church is the story of the indigenious church movement in Bengal. During the early decades of teh 19th century, the Baptists were eager to build indigenous churches here. After 1822, the missionaries established a Christian village new Serampore. It was set up mainly for the settlement of Christian worker of Serampore Mission establishments. The village was established for the purpose of promoting the general comfort of the native brethren and also facilitating the dissemination of religious instruction to them. It consisted of thirteen dwelling houses with a small Chapel at the centre.
A number of native Christian families also came to live there. They built a small church of their own. A native congregation was formed. The place was given the name of Johannagar and the came to be known as Johannagar Church.
It was built with the help of donations raised by members and is reputed as the first indigenous Church in Bengal. Initiative was provided by the Serampore Missionaries who also helped to maintain the Church. The BMS Report of 1827 says that the number of members of Johannaagar was 678, whereas the Christian population in this place was 150 only. The rest came from nearby areas.
Prankrishna, a convert of William Carey was a pioneer. Church leaders who stayed here under his influence and leadership and this Church survived gloriously. After 1837, these rural Baptist Churches run by the natives came under the Baptist Missionary Society. Today Johannagar Church is still surrounded by the Christian residential area known as the Johannagar Church Compound. The Church however is now administered and maintained by the Diocese of Calcutta, CNI and forms part of the Congregation of Serampore-Johannagar Baptist Church (CNI). Worship services are held on Sunday evenings here.
Worship Service Timing: 5:00 pm April - September & 4:30 pm October - March

ABOUT L. RON HUBBARD
FOUNDER OF DIANETICS & SCIENTOLOGY
Author, humanitarian and Founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard is one of the most acclaimed figures of the modern age.
In a writing career spanning more than half a century, he was both a leading light of American fiction and the author of more than 35 million words of nonfiction—the single most embracive statement on the human mind and spirit, providing the only road to total spiritual freedom.
To date, more than 250 million copies of his works are in circulation worldwide, in 71 languages. All told, those works comprise over 3,000 recorded lectures and some 5,000 writings, including nineteen New York Times bestsellers.
Accordingly, and in testament to the magnitude of his literary legacy, there are his four Guinness World Records: most published author, most translated author, the author with the most audiobook titles and the single most translated non-religious work.
Yet the essence of L. Ron Hubbard’s legacy is perhaps best expressed in his simple declaration:
“I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.
“These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. And I am afraid I am just as delighted as he is.”

L. RON HUBBARD
Mr. Hubbard left an extraordinary legacy: an immense body of wisdom that leads man to spiritual freedom; the fastest-growing religion in the world today, Scientology.
As the founder of the Scientology religion L. Ron Hubbard has described his philosophy in more than 5,000 writings, including dozens of books, and in 3,000 recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology. Those who regularly employ his teachings to improve themselves and help their fellows come from all walks of life, while Scientology missions and churches have been established on six continents.
The universal acclaim for the man–including thousands of awards and recognitions from individuals and groups and the unprecedented popularity of his works is but one indicator of the effectiveness of his technologies. More importantly, there are millions of people around the world who consider they have no greater friend.
Although best known for Dianetics technology and the Scientology philosophy, L. Ron Hubbard cannot be so simply categorized. If nothing else, his life was too varied, his influence too broad. There are Bantu tribesmen in southern Africa, for example, who know nothing of Dianetics and Scientology, but they know L. Ron Hubbard the educator. Likewise, there are factory workers in Albania who know him only for his administrative discoveries; children in China who know him only as the author of their moral code, and readers in a dozen languages who know him only for his novels. So, no, L. Ron Hubbard is not an easy man to categorize and certainly does not fit popular misconceptions of “religious founder” as an aloof and contemplative figure. Yet the more one comes to know this man and his achievements, the more one comes to realize he was precisely the sort of person to have brought us Scientology–the only major religion to have been founded in the twentieth century.
L. Ron Hubbard’s works represent a statement of man’s nature and potential, and even if echoed in various ancient scriptures, that statement is absolutely unique. Among the essential tenets of the Scientology philosophy: man is an immortal spiritual being; his experience extends well beyond a single lifetime; and his capabilities are unlimited even if not presently realized. In that sense, Scientology represents what may be the ultimate definition of a religion; not a system of beliefs but a means of spiritual transformation. How Scientology accomplishes what it does is through the study of Mr. Hubbard’s scriptures and the application of principles therein.

As a sixteen-year-old, I received a loaned copy in the mail of Adolf Murie’s classic: “The Wolves of Mt. McKinley” from that park’s superintendent, with the request that this out-of-print work be returned when I had completed reading it. Even in my youthfulness I was aware of how trusting this person was to loan such a book out to a teen three-quarters of a continent away, and I wasn’t about to disappoint him.
Nights after school I read the book – cover-to-cover. But before I returned it, I somehow managed to find a copy machine (they were exceedingly rare in the 1960’s) and – at 5 ¢ a page – a handsome sum from a boy who had only a summer-time job washing dishes in an exclusive country club at $1.90 an hour – my paltry savings forced me to select the sections most meaningful to my inquisitiveness. Within a half-dozen years, of course, the work was reprinted for $1.25 from the U.S. Government Printing Office likely in response to a resurgence in interest in wolves. I obligingly acquired a copy, but only this year discarded the photocopied elements while doing some necessary house (actually office)-cleaning!
Thinking back to that time, I realized that even then I was curious to know how and why this pioneering work by Murie was authorized. After all – especially to those history buffs who happen to also be hooked on wolves – Murie’s book provided the world with their first glimpse of wolves that wasn’t filled with the hatred and loathing of this beast typical of earlier writers. It was filled with observations on their natural history, supported by facts tediously gotten through hundreds and hundreds of hours of monitoring a wolf pack in the alpine-covered slopes of Denali. It is considered the foundation upon which modern-day wolf biology got its start.
Nearly 45 years later I found Rawson’s book. It answered my question of how Murie’s work actually came to be – what motivated National Park Service administration to authorize it. It is a history book to be sure, but one written that is both engaging and quick-paced. Woven into the fabric of the story of how Murie’s work came to be is the larger story of internal strife within the National Park Service of what to do with the predators roaming a few of their western properties. Denali National Park (in those days named Mount McKinley National Park) , I learned, was established as a sanctuary for Dall sheep, the smaller white bodied versions of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep. Many influential sporting groups, the kind involved in hunting, had promoted its establishment as a mechanism to keep trophy hunters at bay – to provide a sanctuary where Dall sheep could seek refuge to avoid extirpation.
That sanctuary became a National Park. And through its creation, the property took on added objectives in addition to saving Dall sheep from hunters’ gun sights. And thus did evolve a controversy because wolves lived in the park, and wolves – as everyone knew in those days – were wanton destroyers of game. It so happened that an especially tough winter fell upon Alaska shortly after, and Dall sheep numbers plummeted. Enter politics and a struggle for dominance of a predator policy in DenaliNational Park that lasted at least 50 years.
This is a thoroughly researched work, with period photographs and it provides a well-balanced perspective into the predator management controversies with the Park Service. For those with an interest in how all modern-day wolf-work got its start- this is your book!


The Codimension documentation includes the following:
- The "Python Code Visualization. Text to Flowcharts" article covers the technology behind the tool and tells the story from the idea till the IDE implementation and beyond. You will find there a motivation for the tool, detailed description of the graphics primitives, implementation details, CML language description and thoughts on the future of the IDE.
- Frequently asked questions which are rather non-technical and can give a good understanding what codimension is and why it is designed the way it is.
- Key bindings section has a comprehensive description of the keyboard hot keys and some more. There is as well a cheatsheet for downloading which can be printed and be handy while getting used to the IDE.
- Plugins tutorial tells about how the plugin subsystem is designed and how to develop the IDE plugins in Python. It also has a complete example of a simple garbage collecting plugin.
- The brief python parser section describes the first of the modules developed within the project. This parser extracts the information about functions, classes, imports, docstrings etc. found in a Python code.
- The control flow parser section describes the second of the modules developed within the project. This parser extracts the information about where each fragment of the code is located and how they are related to each other. That information is a source for generating flowchart diagrams.
- The IDE architecture article describes what components are in the IDE and their purpose.

Libraries are arguably one of the most underutilized facilities in most schools. In addition to offering you great books which you ought to be reading, you can also find other great things at a library.
Librarians are without doubt great resources at a library but some Libraries have opted to take it a step further by introducing “human library” programs. A number of libraries are bringing in human “books” that will be able to teach others on a number of things including life experience as well s difference in cultures.
This might sound strange but believe it or not there is a certified therapy general Montgomery dog in Yale’s Lillian Goldman Law Library that is available for a minute petting session. The dog is owned by one of the librarians.
- Musical Instruments
Several libraries nowadays are offering musical instruments due to the fact that there is an increase in the number of musical classes. For instance the Ann Arbor library is known to have a variety of musical instruments that include some unusual musical instruments such as voice transformers and theremims.
- Green Screen
Made popular by Hollywood, the green screen is something that every student studying video editing should know how it works and how to go about it. In Skokie, there is a digital media lab which has a number of computers with microphones, green screen as well as video editing software.
So as to ensure that patrons are able to grow a number of different flowers, an Arizona public library known as Pima County has several seeds which are easily available. To keep the seed bank full the library encourages the patrons to donate seeds from time to time if possible.

PUTTING KNOWLEDGE TO WORK: From Knowledge Transfer to Knowledge Exchange
This book is made of very important contributions from a variety of experts and practitioners. It demonstrates the relevance and the paramount importance of knowledge exchange as a two-way process where various stakeholder groups (i.e. knowledge bearers that includes researchers, academics, indigenous communities and also local, national and international institutions) come together and share their ideas and experiences. The book further asserts that knowledge exchange, not knowledge transfer encourages collaboration between researchers and societies. It argues that meaningful dialogues between all communities can arise out of exchanging ideas and experiences.

Cap’n was born into the largest tribe of the Ancient Elvaans, with the name Gry’ni Uther. His parents were high up in the office of the Chancellery. When war between the Ancients broke out, Gry’ni was sent to a local inn to be kept out of harm’s way. When the war was over, Gry’ni returned to his home, to find that it was destroyed and everyone was dead.
He returned to the inn, and a pirate crew happened to be in that night. He convinced the captain to let him on board. He was started off as a swabbie. On the seas, Gry’ni found that he had amazing powers. Whenever he’d be singing a shanty, odd things would happen. Eventually, he learned of his Elvaan magic, and used it to his advantage. He worked his way up the ranks, until he was named First Mate.
One night, the Captain had been on the bottle and accused Gry’ni of stealing some loot. Before Gry’ni could even react, the Captain’s sword was in the air, slicing through the left side of Gry’ni’s face. He fell to the deck in pain, but knew that the Captain was going to kill him. He stood back up, and after a long battle, Gry’ni killed the captain. To make sure that he had the loyalty of the crew, he split up the former Captain’s treasure, taking none for himself. After that day, he no longer answered to his birth name, only to Cap’n.
He went ashore, and gave the crew a leave of absence, but told them that when he called, they were to report immediately. He then went to the local tavern to see what his next move was. There, he found the most beautiful woman he had seen. Her name was Brana, and she was of a tribe not unlike his. However, her tribe had adapted to the new modern world, losing their ancient magic and gaining a faster reaction time. The two fell in love, and soon had children of their own. He moved in to her village. Their King, seeing that Cap’n was one of their ancestors, gave up his crown. Things went well for a few years. One day, while Cap’n was away on a diplomatic trip, the Goddess of Death descended upon his village, once again destroying everyone he loved.
He called upon his crew again, and left on the seas. The kind, gentle Captain they knew was gone. Now he was bloodthirsty, and vengeful. They grew to be the most violent and feared ship in the waters. No navy could stop them. His crew would later recount that they were sure that he was trying to get himself killed, but it never worked.


Pennsic War History
The origin of the Pennsic Wars: when Cariadoc of the Bow was King of the Middle, he thought it would be entertaining to have a war between the East and Middle Kingdoms. He sent a declaration of war to the East in A.S. 5, but nothing ever came of it. By A.S. 7, Cariadoc had moved and become King of the East, whereupon he found the old declaration of war and promptly accepted. The Midrealm army defeated the Easterners, making Cariadoc (as the joke goes) the first king in history to declare war on himself and lose.
The name “Pennsic War” was created as a combination of “Punic Wars” and “Pennsylvania”. The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and the Phoenician city of Carthage.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Have you ever read Martin Luther’s Preface to the Small Catechism? It’s found in the 1986 version of the Catechism at the back of the book, pg. 243 if you want to look it up. It’s very good reading and will give you a peek into the writing style of Martin Luther, and the reason for Luther to write the Catechism. It was written after Luther and several others went throughout Saxony to visit parishes and the state of the reformation in each of them. What they found was deplorable.
The people were largely ignorant of Christian doctrine, and even pastors were unable to teach and largely incompetent. Luther uses the preface to the Small Catechism to encourage bishops to educate and train the pastors under their care. Luther also encouraged fathers to teach the Catechism to their children, and servants, even going as far as stating that if any of the servants, or children didn’t want to learn it, they should not receive their dinner until they do.
Sounds cruel, but Luther’s point was that receiving instruction in the Christian faith is of the utmost importance. Priorities matter, and while food is important, it is not as important as learning about the God who saved our eternal soul from sin and death. This isn’t to say that Luther wants us to force the faith on others, but this is for those who are already Christian, yet refuse to learn the doctrine of the church.
Luther’s goal in writing the Catechism was to bring Christian doctrine and bring it into the home in a very easy to understand form. He broke the Christian faith down into five parts, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. Later in his life, a part on the Office of the Keys and Confession and Absolution was added to the Catechism. Luther never objected to the addition and it has remained in our Catechism even today. The Catechism was meant to be a “layman’s Bible” providing the correct summary of the Bible and how humanity has fallen short of God’s design, and God’s work of salvation through Jesus Christ. Because of that fact, Luther prepared his catechism in a poster form so that it could be posted on the walls of homes and fathers could point to the poster and teach his children in each of the chief parts.
Luther structured his catechism very purposely, making it a move from the law to the gospel. The Catechism starts with the Ten Commandments, which display the law in its full force and shows us how we have fallen short of the design that God has for us. Then comes the Apostles’ Creed, which outlines the work of God in creating us, saving us, and sanctifying us. Having been granted faith and saved from our sins, Luther moves to how we relate to the God who saved us in the Lord’s Prayer. Luther then addresses the Christian life as he goes into the sacraments, and how God has worked to save us, and how He continues to enlighten us with His gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. Whereas most catechisms of the late medieval era focused on confession and penance and works of satisfaction, Luther designed his catechism to focus on man’s failure to live according to the Law and God’s salvation of man through Jesus Christ delivered through Word and sacraments.
I would like to walk us together through the chief parts of the Small Catechism over the next six months. Next month we’ll begin our trek through God’s plan of salvation as we look at the Ten Commandments.
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Tim Schneider


I loved (still love) to look up at the sky and make pictures out of the clouds. Even making up stories about what I saw up there. Just ask my friends, I think I've tortured them enough on our road trips where I tell stories about what I see in the sky (it's their own fault for having a sun roofs in their car).
If you get the chance spend some time outside now that the weather is getting nicer and enjoy the wonderful world above us. Oh and if the weather doesn't cooperate check out the book Sector 7 by, David Weisner from the library and enjoy his wonderful book (also check out this one if you get the chance!).
To get started here some pictures for your imagination.......
Oh and just for fun some clothes on the line now that it's warm enough outside!

This version of Jack and the Beanstalk is different from the one I read as a child. I don't remember this story being so violent, but I liked this version better, which I believe is closer to the original. I felt Galdone's drawings fit in perfect with following the 1807 tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. I liked how he had a lot of white space on the pages where he is climbing the beanstalk or.
The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window, so all he had to do was to open it and give a jump on to the beanstalk which was made like a big plaited ladder. So Jack climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed till at last he reached the sky. And when he got there he found a long broad road going as straight as a dart. So he.

In this comic retelling, young Jack foolishly sells his family’s cow for a handful of magical beans. Overnight, they grow into a beanstalk that reaches up beyond the blue sky itself, leading Jack into a hilarious series of misadventures with a dimwitted ogre and his extra-large spouse. This beloved English folktale, adapted by Eric Metaxas, is nearly as merry and old as England itself.

Last summer, Radiohead‘s Harry Patch (In Memory Of)—listen to it on Apple Music or Spotify—got me thinking about my great uncle Percival Archie Corry, who was killed in Belgium in December 1915 fighting in the First World War. I remember him every November 11, but there is something about this track that evokes the time: I think the instrumentation, composition, and arrangement are something that my grandmother Kathleen, Perce’s brother, would recognize and appreciate.
About ten years ago, I put together a genealogy of my grandmother’s family. She had eight siblings, and the long-term impact of war was made clear: the others had descendants, marriages, jobs, and stories. Perce’s page in the book was a dead end. Here are a couple of pictures of him, one on the family farm outside of Victoria, clearing land for the B.C. Electric power line; the other obviously in preparation for the trip to Europe, from which he never returned.
The genealogy included the following text by Jean Rathgaber, daughter of Perce’s brother Art.
When the news was announced that Canada had entered into the war, Kath [my grandmother] and Babe were outside discussing it. They heard a whooping and a hollering, and Perce, on horseback, came dashing toward them as fast as he could gallop, shouting and waving his arms. He swerved at the last minute, just missing them, and yelled, “Hooray! War!” He and his brothers thought the war would be a great adventure; all three enlisted and were sent overseas. … The great adventure did not turn out as they had expected. George returned from the war with a steel plate in his head which caused him head pains all his life. Art returned with stomach ulcers caused from being gassed. For the rest of his life, he could tolerate only bland foods like milk, puddings and porridge made with milk. He never complained about this diet and lived on it for 40 years. And sadly, Perce never returned at all.
It’s tempting to think Perce’s romanticization of war is of another era, but I suspect that’s not completely the case.
I am going to work on updating the history for a reunion this summer, and one of the things I have found is Percival Corry’s attestation papers, online at Library and Archives Canada.
It’s striking to see these papers, signed by an eighteen-year-old destined to die in the Great War almost a century ago. It’s possible to order copies of a soldier’s service files, which aren’t posted online, and I plan to do that to see what other information is available on Percival Corry.
I am the only one that got through
The others died where ever they fell
It was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
I’ve seen devils coming up from the ground
I’ve seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical but they will never learn
—Radiohead, adapted from a BBC interview with Harry Patch, one of the last surviving veterans of the First World War


THE SWITCH IN READING CULTURE; FICTION OR SELF HELP BOOKS
Over the years these two genres have been on a zealous run towards thriving in the world of books. It’s a matter of settling on what we humans prefer. One can personally relate to people and problems, the other builds up our imagination. But what really accentuates the generation today from the two?
Fictional storytelling is traced back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Based on the chronicles of fiction, it has served as a means of entertainment, education, cultural expression and social commentary. It reflects on the value of imagination at different points of life making it a rich and invaluable aspect of human culture.
Speaking of ancient, printed books were in demand until E-books, audio books and books available on a kindle wheeled its way into the fraternity of books! There is a great decline in the market of printed books today due to the development of technology that we witness daily. Ascribed to this, self-help and fictional books are available in one way or the other!
Humans have a tendency of relating with each other and self-help books have been a daily mentor. Self-help books can be motivational, inspirational, spiritual, creative, innovative and more. Combining these varieties of self-help books have resulted in an upswing of personal development and wellness across society.
Speaking of the evolution of fiction reading, it has been influenced by various factors over time such as technological advancements, cultural shifts and development in literacy rates. From stories being communicated orally to modern contemporary trends, fiction continues to derive and yet it has remained an indispensable aspect of human culture, blessing the reader with the opportunity to soar into peculiar worlds and escape reality for however long the reader aspires.
Reading habits can vary from person to person based on personal tastes, values and life circumstances. It can differentiate so much that overall there is a balance between fiction and self-help books observed from traditionalists to genZs.
Generational differences in reading habits can vary with time reflecting diverse preferences and interests shaped by cultural, technological and social influences. While some may incline on the idea of fiction, the rest may embrace self-help literature more readily.


This blog has referred to Dharampalji more than once. I request all the readers of this blog to please go through the following, and if you feel more interested, please visit the following links: Click here and here.
Dharampalji is a Gandhian Historian, who has done original research, by going through the British archives on India between 1775-1815, in dismantling a lot of myths created about Indian History over a period of time during the British Rule and after thanks to biases of the Historians as well as the needs of the polity. The historic truths that he establishes through scholarly study of the British archives give an entirely different outlook about India - far different from what is taught to its children today in schools.
In Dharampalji's own words:
If we investigate these (British) records on similar aspects further, on the basis of what is available in our archaeological, inscriptional and other historical sources, and what is still retained in the memory and consciousness of our people, we ought to be able to reconstruct our social and cultural past, and hopefully to mould our state and society accordingly.We, as Indians - as a people of a nation have had an existence of only the past 60 years. But as a culture we have to go back to times immemorial. It is probably the responsibility of each of us to have an proper understanding of our culture, which may not occur without a study of our own history - that which is written with an Indian soul in it. One of the tasks that he has set for us:
Since Independence in 1947, it is this question of reconstruction of self and society on the foundation of our priorities, values, tradition and culture that seems to have completely eluded us, particularly our scholars, administrators and politicians. We appear to have forgotten that we can look back and learn from our own past. And based on that experience, construct our own unique identity within the context of our own affairs as well as that of the rest of the world. What do we as a nation - without leaning on others' ideological and material crutches - want? Do we have ingenuity or not? Can we make our points-as against aligning with one sort or another? I have a point to make as Indians?
... they (Indians) need to acquire a better awareness - especially as children and youth - of the human past of their localities, and to establish friendly relations with other beings including all kinds of animal life, bees, bushes and plants, rivers, lakes, ponds, hills, forests, soil, etc. which coexist with man. Similarly, we should begin to be aware of the linkage of each and every locality with the immediate region, of the region with the country, and of our country with other countries on this earth, and the earth's linkage with the cosmos.
These efforts would require new texts of well-told stories of localities, regions, countries, the world, and the various ideas about the beginning or non-beginning of the universe. Such knowledge and awareness would make our people feel confident and well informed and also enable them to partake of the Indian understanding of life and of natural phenomena.
It would also ground them in the elements of various sciences and technologies in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and crafts, as well as history, philosophy, grammar and language. Thus, by about the age of fourteen, our children - boys as well as girls - would have become competent citizens of their respective areas.
I am not too sure if this made sense. Do drop in a comment in case of any questions. I shall be patient and glad to answer each of them. I apologise that I have not answered to some of the questions raised in this speech of Dharampalji which he gave at IIIT. I shall do so in my next post. You may read the speech here.


Dialogic Organization Development is a compelling alternative to the classical action research approach to planned change. Organizations are seen as fluid, socially constructed realities that are continuously created through conversations and images. Leaders and consultants can help foster change by encouraging disruptions to taken-for-granted ways of thinking and acting and the use of generative images to stimulate new organizational conversations and narratives. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to Dialogic Organization Development with chapters by a global team of leading scholar-practitioners addressing both theoretical foundations and specific practices.

NEW BOOK: Dialogic Organization Development
Updated: May 1, 2020


According to their beliefs, people differ in how Joseph Smith came across the Book of Mormon. There is no doubt, however, where he first had it printed.
EB Grandin, newspaper editor The Wayne Sentinel, moved into the building that now bears his name in 1828, with a bookstore on the first floor, binding on the second and printing shops on the third. Grandin was initially reluctant to print the Book of Mormon when Smith came to see it the following year, but relented when he learned that Smith had found a printer in nearby Rochester, with no other big plans. on the horizon for his store.
Before printing began, the composer noticed that the manuscript lacked punctuation and capitals and had to convince Smith’s brother to let him put it.
The book was printed on the most advanced press Grandin could acquire, the Smith Improved Printing Press, using a new pica character set, of which approximately 2,500 pieces were used for each of the nearly 600 pages. The Grandin Building has a replica of this press, the real one is in Salt Lake City. For the time and for the resources, the Book of Mormon was quite a feat, requiring nine people working six 12-hour days a week.
Palmyra’s public opinion was against the religious book, and Martin Harris, an early convert, had to mortgage his farm to get the $ 3,000 Grandin had insisted on as security payment for printing 5,000 copies. Harris’s wife left him because of it.
It took eight months to print and bind all the books, during which pages were leaked to curious viewers. A local reporter who used the Grandin Shop on Sundays printed out excerpts from the book with his own commentary. It stopped when Smith threatened to sue.
The citizens of Palmyra refused to buy the book when it became available for sale for $ 1.75, forcing the missionaries to take it elsewhere to sell it. Today, copies of the original Book of Mormon print are very rare and can sell for up to $ 100,000. There is one on the site.
The building has undergone many structural changes since the Book of Mormon was printed there. In 1978 it was purchased by The Church of Latter-day Saints and a visitor center was set up on the first floor. In the mid-1990s, the original layout and structure of the building was meticulously uncovered by researchers seeking to recreate the site of the print. The building was recently opened by the president of the church on March 26, 1998, the 168th anniversary of the printing press, and open to free daily tours from missionaries.

- The binnacle off the wreck of the SS Wisconsin which sank on October 29, 1929.
- A model of the Lucia S. Simpson, an 1875 3-masted schooner typical of the craft that served the Great Lakes in the late 1800s.
- Several display cabinets displaying finer artifacts and exhibits, including:
- An oak transportable lending library with the actual books which was taken by tenders from the Milwaukee Light House Depot to remote lighthouses on the Lake at the turn of the 18th to19th Century;
- Georgia Stebbins’ personal scrapbook, which she started in 1866 and kept over her tenure which discloses much about an early Keeper’s life.
- Brass pitchers, funnels and trays stamped “US Lighthouse Service” which were used by early keepers to carefully manage the
mineral oil originally lit the North Point Light.
- The ship’s wheel, compass and port light off the wreck of the 3-masted schooner Grace A. Channon which sank in 1877.
- An exhibit which tells the story of the “Great Crib Disaster” of 1893 in which 15 miners working on a water intake tunnel perished.

Karen Downing (author)
Around the turn of the nineteenth century Robinson Crusoe turns up remarkably often in material dealing with the emerging Australian colonies. The call to adventure and do-it-yourself guide to settlement in Daniel Defoe’s novel resonated strongly with British explorers and settlers. But Crusoe did not make men restless: restlessness was the expression of unresolved tensions in men’s lives between ideals, aspirations, traditions and material circumstances, the tension between what men felt they should do and what was actually possible. Crusoe seemingly reconciled these tensions, showing that a man could be both wild and domesticated. Karen Downing traces the links in a discursive chain by which a particular male subjectivity was forged. Through the rarely studied interrelationship between public representations of manliness and self-representations by men in more private writings, she reveals how restless men took their restlessness with them, so that the Australian colonies never were a solution to men’s anxieties.
ANU Inspiring Women
Karen Downing (project manager)
This book is a celebration of some of the many inspirational women at the Australian National University, the culmination of a year-long project that highlights women’s contribution to all facets of campus life. The book proudly showcases a side of ANU that depends on the vivacity, warmth, intellectual power and personal courage that women bring to it. The ANU Inspiring Women project was undertaken by the ANU Gender Institute and it was launched by ANU Vice Chancellor Ian Young in March 2013.


a review of Jessica Pressman’s Digital Modernism
Pressman’s historical picture is one of subtle parallels and recurrences, rather than dramatic ruptures. This nuanced approach yields numerous insights. Most notably, it helps to deflate the rhetoric of division that has often dominated both academic and public discussions of the digital. As Pressman argues, such debates have been beset by a simplistic tendency to “see difference wherever there’s digitality”, whether in the case of doom-mongering declarations of the death of print (her preferred example is Robert Coover’s 1992 article “The End of Books,” but there are many more) or overstatements of the radical “newness” of new technologies. In this regard, her reading of Ulysses is especially suggestive. Building on Hugh Kenner’s earlier observations, Pressman posits the novel’s “Ithaca” section as a pre-digital instance of a “database aesthetic”. In so doing, she develops a deft critique of the idea that “narrative and database” are necessarily separate entities. As she reminds us, questions about “the relationship between interpretation and information, between reading and data” are among the most pressing issues facing “the humanities in a digital age”.
