This current entry is of one of several that will focus on the floorplans and details of the house and garage.
The fact that these images exist at all is something of a miracle. I am extremely grateful for the extraordinary efforts made by the Plainfield Library to preserve and digitize the architectural history of so many of Plainfield's beautiful homes, including the house I grew up in. The library's Detwiller Collection is simply an amazing archive of information - not just for for the residents of Plainfield, but for anyone who is interested in the architectural heritage of the 20th century.
Interestingly, however, it is also clear that the set of drawings filed so many decades ago by the architects who built 920 Cedar Brook Road underwent substantial changes before construction began. I may never know why the drawings were altered. I only know that there must have been a great deal of discussion between the clients and the architects. And in the end, the design was scaled back significantly. But more on those particulars later.
Just to go back to the basic history of the house for a moment (see also "The Huntsman Mansion: A Jewel in the Queen City"), 920 Cedar Brook was designed by Augustus Marsh and Otto J. Gette, the architectural firm behind many of Plainfield's prestigious homes during the early 20th century. Marsh & Gette were commissioned to build the home at 920 Cedar Brook Road by John and Maud Huntsman, who, according to the 1910 census records, were already residents of Plainfield. They lived a few blocks away on Watchung Avenue prior to taking ownership of their new mansion on Cedar Brook Road.
And it was indeed a mansion. Certainly not the largest of its time, but a very substantial home that reflected the success and stability of its owners and offered gracious living spaces and a wealth of fine architectural details that even now, can clearly be seen to have been executed by master craftsmen. It also reflected what was already one of America's most beloved historical styles - the Colonial Revival.
There's much to say about that subject, too. But for now, I'd like to just post a few images from the blueprint file. We'll start inside, on the first floor.
|First floor plan for 920 Cedar Brook Road. Image reprinted courtesy of the Local History Collection of the Plainfield Public Library, NJ.|
I realize much of the detail of the plan may be lost in translation, although the scale of the house is apparent. So here are a few important things I'd like to highlight. First of all, the room sizes. On the far left is the living room. It opens to the piazza, via two sets of French doors that flank the fireplace. The room measures 25'2" long (front to back of the house) by 16'2" wide.
|Living room, about 1969.|
|View into living room, early 1990s. That's our sweet elderly dog, Gray.|
|Christmas in the foyer circa 1970s. Note original light fixtures.|
|Current view of foyer into dining room.|
The other room I'd like to mention is the library, which also opens off the foyer. On the blueprint, there's a door indicated between the library and living room. By 1968, this had been converted to an inset bookcase on the library side, which is still there. It has an arched top and at least three shelves, and if I remember correctly, it also has some built-in storage below, with doors. You would never know there had once been a door in that space; it was an interesting surprise when I first looked at the plans.
The kitchen is such an interesting subject I will save that for the next entry, with a closer look at that portion of the blueprint. For now, I'd like to close with this front elevation view of the house - and note that with the exception of the balcony over the side door, nothing here was altered from the architects' original vision. The house today retains the same graceful proportions and details.

End of Life Care:
Dignity through Digital Health
By Tara Athanasiou, Business Change Consultant
Published 8 December 2020
At its heart, end-of-life care is about understanding and how to enact the wishes and preferences of individual patients at the most difficult point in their lives. The challenge is enabling different care providers to share information about an individual patient’s care and end-of-life preferences in a safe, dignified, up-to-date and patient-focused way.
Digital Healthcare Strategy –
6 reasons why now is the time
to refresh your strategy
By Kate Mansfield, Digital Healthcare Consultant
Published 15 October 2020
Technology has been fundamental to the way healthcare organisations have responded to the Covid-19 crisis. Many organisations are recognising the need to build on this momentum and ‘lock-in’ the changes. However, there are many facets to the impact of Covid-19, which will require us to take a fresh view of our digital priorities…


The path each person walks is entirely their own. The pitfalls along that path, as well as the way in which they are dealt with are entirely up to the individual. Most use common sense, and are successful in their plight …
But Willow Sutherland-Crosby walks a far-different path, and with her own agenda …
From the author of the riveting 4-star romantic fiction drama, ‘Passions in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary,’ comes ‘Willow’s Walk,’ a gripping new tale, certain to hold readers captive from the very first page. Set in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Canada in 2003, this touching story centers on the life and times of a woman determined to prevail at all costs, regardless of what is set before her, the result of which is certain to leave the reader reeling in its wake.
Abuse, deception, intrigue, and a never ending quest for happiness and love. Will she find it, or will her blind determination finally be her downfall? This is what awaits the eye within the pages of this inspiring romance drama by romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood.
If a riveting read is your pleasure, this 5-star romantic fiction drama is the one for you!

Everyone knows how big I am on books and reading to babies. This is my third post on reading to younglings and the encouragement it gives them as they grow and their minds develop. I love reading to my son and I think it creates such a curiosity in him and adds to the growth of his vocabulary and imagination.
In this section of the Baby Buying Guide, I will give you a list of 20 of the best board books you can get for your baby and introduce you to the Amazon Prime Book Box for babies from age 0 Months through 2 years old.
The Truth Is…
I take reading to babies so seriously because as I’ve mentioned before, when they miss out on this part of the learning process it creates a problem later on. Both of my sisters had kids and neither one of them read to their kids as babies. Both of their kids needed speech therapy. I think this is partly due to missing out on the language development reading gives.

Opposed to that, I wanted to try a different method and began reading to my baby when he was still in my tummy. In turn, my son is 22 months and already forming sentences, repeating words, and playing by himself using his imagination. It just shows how much reading to babies starting from the beginning can have such an impact on them.
Take it from me mommies, you don’t want to have to deal with the heartache and pressure that comes along with putting your child in speech therapy. It would much rather be a better option to start reading to your baby from birth and get them used to the idea of books and loving the story telling.
Help the build their vocabulary, imagination, and language development. When a toddler can voice to you what they need and want, it gives them such a sense of pride and independence.

Thanks for reading my latest post.


Letters to Intimate Strangers was a site-specific piece for the Carnegie Public Library in Oakland, Pittsburgh. For the piece I actively fell in love with someone once a day. That person could be anyone and anywhere. Partly what I was interested in was that semiotic frenzy of the lover — where every interaction is rife with possible interpretations/misinterpretations. But I was also interested in the type of emotional labor this daily ritual would involve. Thinking of each falling in love session as a kind of deep-acting play, I started them with a series of “what if” propositions. What if their words meant everything to me? What if I was waiting for the slightest look or touch? What if their eyelashes could crush me?
I wrote a love letter to each of these strangers. These letters were then given to one of the librarians who pulled two words out of each letter and gave them call numbers according to subject. They were then put into circulations in the stacks.


Below you can find links to the INTERTWinE project deliverables produced by the technical work packages.
The technical work packages are:
- WP3: Programming Model Interoperability
- WP4: Resource Management and Runtime Interoperability
This initial requirements analysis informed the direction of work at the project outset. It describes the status of the programming models addressed by the project, with particular attention to known interoperability issues already identified by the relevant standards bodies and/or developer teams. It then provides details of known pairwise interoperability issues between programming models, and identifies for each case any areas which INTERTWinE is capable of addressing.
This report contains the current state of API recommendations presented to the standard bodies. These recommendations, concerning interoperability, extension proposals and their implementations, have been collected from all of the technical work packages of the INTERTWinE project. The report describes the prioritised API combinations and co-design approach, reports on discussions held with the standard bodies, provides details on the effect on the APIs of the prioritised API combinations, and lists the recommendations presented to the standard bodies.
Within the context of INTERTWinE, the Resource Manager will play a key role in enabling interoperability between the APIs and libraries involved in the project and beyond, by ensuring coordinated usage of hardware resources. This document presents a survey of the current resource usage patterns of the project runtime systems and libraries. It presents some relevant use cases, details potential issues that may arise from such use cases, and lists requirements from the Resource Manager to address or mitigate these issues.
One of the tasks defined in the INTERTWinE project is the definition of a common, generic API for a Directory/Cache service for task-based runtime systems (such as OmpSs, StarPU and PaRSEC). The main goal is to achieve a programming model that hides most of the complexities associated with distributed systems, but also enables an efficient utilisation of remote compute and memory resources. The present document proposes an API for a Directory/Cache (a kind of virtual memory manager) that is sufficiently abstract and generic, promoting one-sided, asynchronous communication and providing automatic caching.
This deliverable defines the Resource Manager component being developed in INTERTWinE. The Resource Manager aims to coordinate resource allocation (also known as ownership), and to establish the means to dynamically share resources among multiple task-based runtime systems and additional support software which may execute within the same process. The main goal the Resource Manager pursues is to improve the composability of parallel libraries, the integration of task-based runtime systems and communication APIs, and to avoid negative performance effects of inappropriate use of the underlying resources by eliminating both oversubscription and undersubscription cases.
- D4.4 Report on runtime systems implementation of resource management API (Please note that this version of Deliverable D4.4 has been submitted to the EC, but has still to be approved by the project reviewers. The final version will be made available here at a later date.)
This deliverable describes the design, implementation and usage of the Resource Manager (RM) initially presented in D4.3 “Definition of resource manager API and report on reference implementation”. The RM is composed of four different APIs aimed to dynamically share CPU resources between different runtime systems running inside the same application, avoiding both over-subscription and under-subscription issues. This deliverable describes the overall RM and each of the four APIs. The RM can be used not only to coordinate the access to CPU cores from different runtimes inside the same application, but it can also be leveraged by library developers to build parallel libraries that can be concurrently used with other parallel libraries and applications efficiently.
- D4.5 Report on runtime system implementation on top of Directory/Cache API (Please note that this version of Deliverable D4.5 has been submitted to the EC, but has still to be approved by the project reviewers. The final version will be made available here at a later date.)
INTERTWinE aims to define a common, generic API for a Directory/Cache service for task-based runtime systems (such as OmpSs, GPI-Space, StarPU, and PaRSEC). The main goal is to achieve a programming model that hides most of the complexities associated with distributed systems, but also enables an efficient utilization of remote compute and memory resources. This deliverable reports on the experiments performed with a prototype implementation of the Directory/Cache and its integration with the above mentioned task-based runtime systems. We also report experiments with some example applications running on top of the runtime systems that are integrating the Directory/Cache.
This document presents a first plan of the applications/kernels in combination with their initial evaluation and benchmark suite releases for use by WP3 and WP4. These initial releases of applications/kernels will be key to evaluating new or enhanced interoperability features that are made available in the respective runtime implementations. For each application/kernel, the document gives a brief introduction, describes the current state for the use case from the point of view of API combination, confirms the ambition plans with respect to API combination within the scope of INTERTWinE, and reviews the benchmarks and evaluation plans. There is also a summary of software (benchmark) release plans, focusing on the API combinations.
This document presents a list of API combinations prioritised by the project, provides highlights of the co-design aspects, and outlines the findings and lessons learnt from the API combination development on the partners’ applications/kernels: Ludwig, iPIC3D, TAU, BAR, Graph-BLAS and PLASMA. For each one of these, the document: 1) outlines a given application/kernel; 2) justifies the API combinations choice; 3) summarises the key implementation details, clearly stating the parts of applications being modified; 4) describes the preliminary performance results for the use case from the point of view of API combination; 5) provides analysis of the performance results with respect to the evaluation criteria; 6) discusses interoperability opportunities/issues, further improvements, and collaboration with the other technical work packages.
- D5.3 Performance evaluation report (Please note that this version of Deliverable D5.3 has been submitted to the EC, but has still to be approved by the project reviewers. The final version will be made available here at a later date.)
In this deliverable, we put special emphasis on performance evaluation, as performance is the critical criterion to determine readiness of APIs, runtimes, and applications for the upcoming Exascale hardware. However, performance is only the tip of the iceberg. Thus, we dive deeper, providing analysis of the obtained results using the following previously established evaluation criteria: performance, correctness of the codes, suitability for exascale, usability, and portability (see Deliverable D5.1 Initial application / kernel plans, evaluations and benchmark suite releases).


On our shelves, certain books take up permanent residence because the stories inside grabbed us and lingered, or because their words burned their way into our psyches at pivotal times in our lives. A cracked binding proves the books have been read again and again, and still, we never tire of them. Pages are earmarked, passages are underlined, notes are scribbled in the margins.
Cookbooks in our kitchens often hold the same affections. At least, they do for me. The recipes themselves may not hook me the way a good novel will, but the stories that revolve around each book or each favorite dish listed within are enough to keep those books front and center in my cabinet.
written and illustrated by Linda Allard
My favorite recipes: Basic Tomato Sauce (so easy, I should be cooking some tonight), Marianne's Brownies (I've never found another brownie recipe even close to this good), and Jill's Favorite Pancakes (now our signature dish on breakfast-for-dinner nights).
Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day, by the Moosewood Collective
My favorite recipes: Honey Mustard Vinaigrette (I feel fancy with my homemade dressing in a glass carafe), Curried Chick Peas and Tofu (a recipe good for sharing), Lemon Date Bars (it's just about time to whip a batch of those babies up again).

The Story: Let's just say this book is near and dear to my heart. In the early years of our marriage, my husband and I played dinner hosts to a couple of bachelors from time to time. Our friend Greg brought this book over one night and said his mother gave it to him. "I don't cook, but you're pretty good. I'll loan this book to you if you invite me over for dinner." Pretty good was good enough for me, flattery at its best. I took him up on his offer, promising to give the book back to him when he got married. Years later, after his "announcement," I panicked. I had loved this book dearly, spilled batter on the pages and accidentally torn a few from the binding. I searched online for a replacement, willing to pay $100 if I could only hold on to the book I had. Lucky for me, those ladies in Georgia still kept the book in print.
Now, tell us about your favorite cookbooks.
What's your story?
"Cooking is more than preparing food. Cooking to sustain those you care for, cooking a favorite dish for a favored person, cooking special foods for special occasions -- all involve thoughtfulness and love." ~ Linda Allard, in Absolutely Delicious!

"Jack Jouett" describes the story of a young colonial man who was sitting outside the Cuckoo Tavern on the night of June 3, 1781 when he heard the sounds of riding cavalry. He recognized them as British troops. They were on the only road to Charlottesville, VA, where Thomas Jefferson, who was Governor of Virginia at this time. Many important members of the Virginia legislature were meeting at Monticello. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Jack Jouett jumped on his horse, Sallie, and rode all night using back roads and even riding through the woods to warn them of the approaching troops. His ride was more dangerous and harder than the ride of Paul Revere, yet it is much less known. While the lyrics convey pertinent information about the event, the lilting melody and repetition of the chorus give listeners the feel of that spring night. Additionally the suspended chord poses the question, "What if Jack had decided not to ride?

During the Revolutionary War the British army lived in the colonies. They ate in the taverns, forced the colonists to provide them with room and board, and stole provisions and horses. After the War was over the army remained for a time in the colonies and many of the officers were invited to dinners and parties given by their former enemies. Today this would be unheard of. Discuss what made this cordial behavior possible, taking into account the relationship of Great Britain and the colonies and the social customs of the time.

Research Tips for History Fair
The Unity Point library is open during DPA times on Mondays and Thursdays, study hall Monday through Friday, and until 3:30 every day. You are welcomed and encouraged to come in and work on your research for history fair or any other assignment; I will be available if you need help.
As you are doing your research, you may have to check for a broader topic as well as your specific topic, such as French explorers in addition to DuSable, or civil rights in addition to Emmett Till. Once you have a book in hand, check the index and table of contents for your specific topic. There may be only one paragraph in a book about your topic, but it may give you valuable information! Also, when searching a person’s name, use LAST, FIRST.
The earlier you request books from other libraries, the better your chances are of getting them in time to use. In order to avoid serving detention for having overdue books, including interlibrary loan books, PAY ATTENTION TO DUE DATES.
I have a wand scanner that you may use to digitize photos, pamphlets, photos in books, etc.

#Chicagogirl, Frame by Frame, Nefertiti’s Daughters, Manislam and Europe Endless Reveal Costs of War and Indomitable Human Spirit
SAINT GEORGE, Utah, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Dixie State University and the DOCUTAH™ International Documentary Film Festival announced that groups of films in this year’s Festival are ripped directly from the headlines. Many of the films provide unique and personal perspectives on world events in faraway places, which viewers see on the news but truly do not understand. Films in this group cover the revolutions in Syria and Egypt, the aftermath of the long wars in Afghanistan as told through the eyes of those brave enough to speak truth to power or risk their lives to reveal that truth, Islamic men trying to change cultural attitudes towards women or the refugee crises caused by wars and terrorism.
“We hear so much these days about the Middle East, about terrorism and barbarous acts of inhumanity, about war and, of course, Islam, which is often painted with a broad brush. Although there are many films in DOCUTAH this year which are inspiring as they reveal the strength of the human spirit and the ability of people to overcome incredible odds, these films may give attendees an entirely new perspective on events they hear about in newscasts,” said Artistic Director for DOCUTAH, associate professor at Dixie State University and the Director of DSU Films.
“These films provide a stark look into the realities faced by many people in the world and are excellent food for thought regarding how and why we got here,” said Shadman Bashir, visiting professor of law and international relations at Dixie State University. “The more we learn about each other, the more chance the people of the world have to avoid conflicts.”
#Chicagogirl chronicles how, from her bedroom in Chicago, an American teenage girl uses social media to coordinate the revolution in Syria. Armed with Facebook, Twitter, Skype and camera phones, she helps her social network “on the ground” in Syria brave snipers and shelling in the streets to show the world the human rights atrocities of a dictator.
In Frame by Frame, we see how after decades of war and an oppressive Taliban regime, four Afghan photojournalists face the realities of building a free press. Through cinema verite, intimate interviews, powerful photojournalism, and never-before-seen archival footage shot in secret during the Taliban regime, the film connects audiences with four humans in the pursuit of the truth.
ManIslam reveals men pushing for a more progressive faith. This film examines the burdens of manhood within Islamic cultures. The main characters, bravely and frankly, share deeply personal memories and experiences in their effort to highlight and question the role of men in contemporary Islam.
Nefertiti’s Daughters “is the story of women, art and revolution. Told by prominent Egyptian artists, this documentary witnesses the critical role revolutionary street art played in the struggle for social and political change during the Egyptian uprisings and how those same artists are now being repressed once again.
Europe Endless is a documentary about the everyday tragedy of refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea to get to mainland Europe. As more and more refugees desperately try to reach the shores of Europe, Europe Endless reveals the desperate situation on Malta, the tiny island nation situated right in the path between Africa and Europe.
DOCUTAH’s mission is to inspire a global connection through independent documentary films and intellectual discussions. More…

The most complete overview of interior design ever, featuring the 100 interior designers everybody must know, and how they changed decorating forever
Most decorating books focus on one designer; the rest focus on one period, one trend, one room. This book, for the first time, has the big picture: ALL the names everybody must know from the entire 100-year history of interior design. Each designer is profiled and illustrated with three to four photographs of their best work; what we can learn from them—and how they changed decorating forever—is clearly highlighted to catch the eye. And to put it all together, a final chapter presents the 10 most important rooms of the past 100 years.
About the contributor(s):
Jennifer Boles created one of the first design blogs, the award-winning The Peak of Chic, in 2008. She has been profiled in the New York Times, ELLE Decor, and Town & Country, among other publications. Stephen Drucker is former editor in chief of House Beautiful and Martha Stewart Living as well as editor of the New York Times Home and Styles sections and has written extensively for Architectural Digest and House & Garden.

A Bard of Wolfe’s Army:
James Thompson, Gentleman Volunteer, 1733-1830
Edited by Earl John Chapman & Ian Macpherson McCulloch
As a young grenadier in Fraser’s Highlanders, Sergeant James Thompson served in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758, the battle of the Plains of Abraham at Quebec in 1759 and the battle of Sillery the following year. Later he experienced the American blockade of Quebec by Generals Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War. He remained in Quebec the rest of his long life. His collected anecdotes form one of the most interesting personal accounts of soldiering during the Seven Years’ War, and his journal offers an authentic first-hand view of life in Quebec in the years that followed. An astute observer with an eye for a humorous story, by the time he reached old age he was sought out by governors general and royalty to recount his stories of earlier times.
In this book, editors Earl Chapman and Ian McCulloch not only present Thompson's anecdotes in one volume for the first time, but they also provide a wealth of explanation and historical background that helps to bring the period to life and places Thompson's experiences in context.
From the foreword by Peter MacLeod, Historian, Pre-Confederation, Canadian War Museum
“In the course of his short but adventurous military career, Thompson met James Wolfe, who addressed him as ‘Brother Soldier,’ at the siege of Louisbourg, carried a wounded French soldier to an aid station after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, and kept the sword of the commander of the American assault on Quebec City as a souvenir. Striking as they are, these are just three examples of a cascade of sparkling vignettes covering crime, scandal, valour, victory, defeat, honour, humour, a pet puppy and day-to-day life as a soldier.”
"In the rich and colourful memoirs of James Thompson we hear the authentic voice of a Highland veteran of Wolfe's army. Enhanced here by expert editorial notes, Thompson's unique 'oral history' of the campaigns that decided the destiny of North America will undoubtedly appeal to specialists and general readers alike." Dr. Stephen Brumwell, award-winning author of Paths of Glory: The Life and Death of General James Wolfe.

Linux Installing APR and Tomcat Native Library on Tomcat 7.0
- The objective: install APR and Tomcat Native Library on Tomcat 7.0.41. I am using Icetea java 1.6 open JDK as when I download JAVA from Oracle, it has rt.jar missing on 1.6 and 1.7
- The linux platform is RHEL 6.3
- I download and compile tar source of APR (1.5) and APR util (1.5.3). I found that when I use yum install, the apr library is incompleted.
- Need to yum install java openjdk. I am using 1.6.
- Untar APR and follow readme to configure and compile. make && make install
- Follow this (Eng) and this (S.Chi) to configure, compile and install Tomcat Native Library
- The command I use is: ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk/
- In setenv.sh (under <tomcat_dir>/bin, if not exists, create one), I set the following:
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/apr/lib
- CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xms6G -Xmx6G $CATALINA_OPTS -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC"
- Notice in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you need to "define the path of APR", but this sentence is misleading. What you really need is to "define the lib path of APR", so it is /usr/local/apr/lib, not /usr/local/apr
- Restart tomcat and you should be fine.

|Note To The Reader
The substance of this book was first published in the magazine Gospel Highway, in 1999, as a response to the book, "In Defense Of Parity," by S. Waldron, et. al. The latter was itself a response to my book, "The Keys Of The Kingdom: A Study On The Biblical Form Of Church Government." The present book may be understood without prior reading of the other two books.
The present writer takes no pleasure in controversy. This book is intended to help, not to provoke. If the Reader is led to a more settled view of the church eldership, by returning "to the law and to the testimony," this modest book would have accomplished good. May the Triune God receive all the glory! Amen.


There’s nothing I love more than a good book or as I like to call it, the sweet escape. I owe my adventurous spirit partly to my DNA and mostly to books. I have a vivid imagination and the stories I read only added fuel to the flame. You could find me on the local library reading everything and anything I could get my hands on. I even had a bagpack specifically for library trips. I would spend hours picking out books I wanted to read and fill up the bagpack. A week later I’d return and repeat the process. #goodtimes
There is always a reason for a good book. And if given a choice I will always pick a hard copy over a digital copy. I’m not knocking down eBooks but you just can’t beat the smell of a book. And you definitely can’t bend a Kindle. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you use, just read a book.
I think I wear glasses now because of all the reading but eh, small price to pay for knowledge and entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, when Lil Jon came out with Read a Book, I laugh/cried for a day. I wasn’t expecting that from him at all. The cartoon music video was hilarious. It’s a positive message that is still relevant today. #readabook


In presenting Hermeneutics of Capital, the author fears that most modern economists are not prepared or even interested in the approach that has been taken in this book. Today, economists are more likely to search for “exact” theories functional relationships between often logically independent variables rather than to question the nature of their science and its main task.
This book argues that “economics is about human nature, human conduct and human institutions”, or what Mises called human action. The present book, however, is not an epistemological one. It is about capital theory. The attempt of Hermeneutics of Capital is to reconcile man and capital, which are often presented as competing elements in a conflictual world. What the author tries to do is even more than looking for a simple reconciliation; following Ludwig Lachmann’s application of hermeneutics to economics, the author tries to define capital as the outcome of subjective mental processes, determined by individual intentions and expectations and not by specific physical or economic features.
The author defines the theory of post-Austrian. In fact, the author’s attempt is to further develop the Austrian School of Economics teaching, trying to contribute in enhancing concepts and theories which are believed to be necessarily reshaped. The author connected his capital theory with a consistent entrepreneurship theory, which goes beyond the usual contraposition between Kirzner’s and Schumpeter’s entrepreneurial theories and builds a synthesis centred on the idea of entrepreneurship as a subset of Misesian action involving specific capital formation processes.
Moreover, the author took into account the traditional version of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory and critically revised it, arguing that crises are not simply the consequences of monetary manipulations, but they are the natural consequence of every expansionary wave. Shackle reminded us that a “good economist is like a bottle of wine. He must begin by having the luck to be laid down, as it were, in a vintage year, when he himself and his class companions are the high-quality stuff in which ideas and theories ferment and discourse sparkles in a glow of golden light. But this is not enough. He must mature”. This book helps guide readers to understand reality.

Dr. Edwin Solly moved from England to Colorado Springs for his health . His health booklet, "The Health Resorts of Colorado Springs and Manitou'( published 1895), extolled the virtues of the area. Solly was realistic in his expectations on the climate upon disease. He did promote the climate's beneficial effects to include improved nutrition, skin, circulatory system, respiratory, nervous, and muscular systems.
Edwin Solly was born in England in 1845. He completed his medical degree at St. Thomas Hospital Medical College. In 1874 Edwin Solly, himself a sufferer of tuberculosis, moved to Manitou. Accompanied by a wife, Alma Helena, and his daughters, Alma and Lillian, he began publishing pamphlets on the health benefits of the Colorado Springs area. After Solly's first wife died in Manitou (1875) he remarried Elizabeth Evans (1877). Solly was physician to William Palmer and many other prominent citizens. The member's of Penrose's private watering hole, the El Paso Club elected Solly as their president for seventeen years. Solly served as Junior Warden for Grace Episcopal church. He was an integral part of the transplanted cafe society whose social events rivaled those of New York and Philadelphia. Solly was integral to the community's social and public enterprises and considered by the community leaders to be the city's leading citizen.
Solly was a man of remarkable imagination and vision. He inspired his patients with his belief that their efforts were as critical as his own to recovery. For twenty five years Solly had dreamed of a sanatorium which would bring together the knowledge he had gained of climate, nutrition, medicine and the ephemeral spirituality of health. Solly's vision involved a dynamic relationship between the function of the place and its design. He was thoroughly committed to the philosophy that open-air convalescence was the key to successful remediation of tuberculosis. His comprehension of the long duration of the disease and its treatment led him to include a family and home atmosphere for the patients. The sleeping porches were to be clustered, the rooms spacious and allow for frequent visits from friends and relatives The atmosphere of Solly's sanatorium was to be expansive, elegant and the most powerful therapeutic tubercular sanatorium for affluent consumptives in the country.
Solly had a summer retreat north of Colorado Springs he affectionately referred to as 'Cragmoor'. The landscape was reminiscent of England where craggy bluffs and the vast open plain greeted one another. Solly dreamed of creating a sanatorium on the craggy knolls of what locals knew as Austin Bluffs Park. As the century closed Solly faced his fifty-fifth year without any progress toward the realization of his dream. For all of the years Solly had brushed cheeks with the city's society and power brokers he never ask anyone for financial support of his vision. Finally, faced with deteriorating health and an insistent wife, he brought his dream to the founder of Colorado Springs, William Palmer.
In 1901 Palmer and Solly road out to the' Cragmoor ' retreat. Solly found the words and inspiration to convey his complete vision of a health mecca to Palmer. Palmer was no stranger to Solly's views of merging homeopathic and conventional medicine. Palmer's own family was beset with numerous physical and emotional conditions. Other proposals of sanatoriums were in the air, but it was Solly's vision of a residential facility that inspired Palmer. The 'Cragmoor' retreat was not to be a tent city like so many other tubercular settings. This would be a place where the most powerful and wealthy families would feel comfortable having family members reside and receive care. In 1902 Palmer announced his gift of 100 acres of land and $50,000 cash toward the $200,000 proposed sanatorium.
Shortly after Palmer's announcement about the Solly Sanatorium he donated an additional ten thousand acres on Austin Bluffs Park to the city, known today as Palmer Park. Once the land gift to the city was announced Solly began an earnest fund raising campaign to begin development of the Cragmor Sanatorium. In 1902 Solly commissioned MacLaren, the city's premier architect to design his dream of a 'Sun Palace'. The long time friends collaborated on bringing to life Solly's philosophy for the treatment of tuberculosis into a facility. MacLaren had the difficult task of continual revisions in the Cragmor plans to match the modest response to Solly's fund raising efforts. The city was becoming engulfed with people seeking the 'cure' and lacked the facilities to care for these patients. Glockner Sanatorium was over crowded. The city planners were deeply troubled by reports of patient treatment at Nordrach Ranch, also resulting from insufficient space for the number of patients demanding treatment.
The population of Colorado Springs in 1903 was approximately 36,000. Daily arrivals of numerous patients were pressing the politicians into concern over national scrutiny of patient care practices in the sanatoriums. The economic base for the city was threatened. Solly addressed a critical city council on the construction delays of Cragmor. Solly began to involve himself with the public relations surrounding the Cragmor as he had done for his friend William Palmer so many times before. Solly assured the city fathers that while Cragmor would receive an elite clientele that the profits from Cragmor would enable the city to build a tubercular care facility for the poor. As 1903 came to an end construction had not yet begun on Cragmor. Finally, after numerous changes in plans Solly and MacLaren saw construction begin in the spring of 1904. The first patients arrived in 1905. Cragmor's appearance at this time consisted of a series of pavilions, auxiliary edifices and cabins. Solly's dream was not yet realized. Unfortunately, Edwin Solly was suffering illness that would prove fatal when he died November 19, 1906.
Edwin Solly had transformed the city promise of Colorado Springs into a reality prior to his death. Between 1874 and his death in 1906 Edwin Solly had created the community's first major economic development effort. The role he played in the development of the Antlers Hotel, the El Paso Club and his profound influence upon his closest friend, William Palmer, left a legacy whose undeniable presence may still be seen and felt in Colorado Springs. Solly's powerful militancy in lobbying the city council for air quality regulations and industrial development are the foundation for the communities aggressive environmental regulations. Edwin Solly was the catalyst for the community's first economic development program, environmental activism, and the father of the health care industry in Colorado Springs. Only Edwin Solly could have created the Cragmor Sanatorium and a medical model for the treatment of tuberculosis that would survive fifty-seven years and three generations of medical directors and attendant physicians associated with the Cragmor Sanatorium.
July of 1905 found every unit at the Cragmor Sanatorium filled. The death of Edwin Solly had resulted in the appointment of a trio of new directors for the Sanatorium. Dr. Will Howard Swan (Palmer's personal physician), Henry W. Hoagland, and Charles Fox Gardiner were considered to be the most accomplished physicians in the West. The 1908 International Tuberculosis Conference in Washington D. C. brought together a young physician named Alexius M. Forster and Gerald Webb, Colorado Springs community leader and co-owner of the Cragmor Sanatorium.
Forster was greatly influenced by the research writings of Edwin Solly. As a young , recently graduated M.D. he was eager to practice medicine in the shadow of Edwin Solly. The remarkable physician ultimately found a way not only to bring Solly's medical vision fully to life but also to innovate and become famous in his own time for medical achievement in tubercular care.
Forster embraced the MacLaren designs for Cragmor published in a prestigious Boston journal entitled 'American Architect and Building News' (1908). He believed resolutely that no improvement could be made on the Solly-MacLaren sun porch design. The article not only confirmed for Forster that his destiny lay ahead of him in Colorado Springs, but it also resulted in Colorado Springs being selected as the site of the 1909 National Tuberculosis Exhibit. Inspired by MacLaren's drawings of Cragmor thousands of people throughout the United States traveled to the Springs. The triumvirate of physicians running the Cragmor Sanatorium were beginning to want out of their commitment to what they perceived as a financial albatross. The new guardian angle of the Cragmor project, Joel Addison Hayes, president of the First National Bank, believed Cragmor Sanatorium to be a dynamic investment. Hayes's son-in-law, Dr. Gerald B. Webb recommended the outstanding young physician, Alexius M. Forster for the directorship of Cragmor Sanatorium. In 1910, at the age of twenty-nine, Forster took on Cragmor and Edwin Solly's dream.
While Solly could envision the structure of the dream, Forster would introduce the comfort and mental attitude of the patient into the medical model. His youthful spirit combined with medical insight created a therapeutic home filled with beauty, ample humor, and epicurean style. Forster sensed that the time was right to begin the construction of the 'sun palace' main building. Forster's inexperience with the rigors of construction and planning led him to select ailing architect George Edward Barton who designed the Myron Stratton Home. The 'new Cragmor' design resembled Mesa Verde Dwelling complete with pavilion extending from the main building in the form of a Maltese Cross. This architectural frolic died when confronted with fiscal reality. By the summer of 1913 Forster was ready to commit to MacLaren's design for Cragmor Sanatorium. The main Building was constructed in 1914.
Gerald Webb apprised the young director of Cragmor that his aristocratic residents were prodigal patients. Forster began to increase the daily structure of the sanatorium with rules. But the cafe society consumptives were not easily corralled. The eminent Dr. Webb continued to practice his medical arts through 1931 and bring a conservative balance to Dr. Forster's generous belief that the patients would recover if they truly enjoyed the art of living.


Where politics is fun, history comes alive and everyone learns and grows together.
Prohibition has long been portrayed as a “noble experiment” that failed, a newsreel story of glamorous gangsters, flappers, and speakeasies. Lisa McGirr dismantles this cherished myth to reveal a much more significant history. Prohibition was the seedbed for a pivotal expansion of the federal government, the genesis of our contemporary penal state. Her deeply researched, eye-opening account uncovers patterns of enforcement still familiar today: the war on alcohol was waged disproportionately in African American, immigrant, and poor white communities.
Our Declaration is a seminal work that reinterprets the promise of American democracy through a close examination of the Declaration of Independence. Combining a personal account of teaching the Declaration with a vivid evocation of the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Allen, a political philosopher renowned for her work on justice and citizenship reveals our nation’s founding text to be an animating force that not only changed the world more than two-hundred years ago, but also still can. Challenging conventional wisdom, she boldly makes the case that the Declaration is a document as much about political equality as about individual liberty.
Jerome Charyn has established himself as one of the most inventive and prolific literary chroniclers of the American landscape. Here in I Am Abraham, Charyn creates an unforgettable fictional portrait of Lincoln and the Civil War. Narrated in the first person, it effortlessly mixes humor with Shakespearean-like tragedy, creating an achingly human portrait of our sixteenth President. Seized by melancholy and imbued with an unfaltering sense of human worth, Lincoln comes to vibrant, three-dimensional life in a haunting portrait we have rarely seen in historical fiction.
Pulitzer Prize winner Megan Marshall recounts the trailblazing life of Margaret Fuller: Thoreau’s first editor, Emerson’s close friend, daring war correspondent, tragic heroine. After her untimely death in a shipwreck off Fire Island, the sense and passion of her life’s work were eclipsed by scandal. Marshall’s inspired narrative brings her back to indelible life. No biography of Fuller has made her ideas so alive or her life so moving.
From Harvard sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.s varius laoreet.
In the spirit of The Paris Wife and Loving Frank, the provocative and compelling fictionalized story of one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century: Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood—an indomitable woman who, more than any other, and at great personal cost, shaped the sexual landscape we inhabit today in her fight to legalize contraception.


The Lady who Knows Everything
From DDLC Wiki
The Lady who Knows Everything is the third poem shown to the player by Monika in Act 1.
An old tale tells of a lady who wanders Earth. The Lady who Knows Everything. A beautiful lady who has found every answer, All meaning, All purpose, And all that was ever sought. And here I am, a feather Lost adrift the sky, victim of the currents of the wind. Day after day, I search. I search with little hope, knowing legends don't exist. But when all else has failed me, When all others have turned away, The legend is all that remains - the last dim star glimmering in the twilit sky. Until one day, the wind ceases to blow. I fall. And I fall and fall, and fall even more. Gentle as a feather. A dry quill, expressionless. But a hand catches me between the thumb and forefinger. The hand of a beautiful lady. I look at her eyes and find no end to her gaze. The Lady who Knows Everything knows what I am thinking. Before I can speak, she responds in a hollow voice. "I have found every answer, all of which amount to nothing. There is no meaning. There is no purpose. And we seek only the impossible. I am not your legend. Your legend does not exist." And with a breath, she blows me back afloat, and I pick up a gust of wind.

Dr. Edward Burger
President and CEO, St. David's Foundation
In this keynote address, Dr. Burger will offer us practices of thinking that we and our students can use to solve the many vexing puzzles of our lives. We create ourselves by creating a meaningful education that will persist long after we are handed our last diploma. As we guide students to find the right space for their undergraduate journeys, we can invite them to define for themselves what a high-impact education means, and challenge them to be open to change: to evolutionary intellectual and personal growth. And, as role-models and mentors, we should acknowledge that we remain works-in-progress and be open to such growth within ourselves. Dr. Burger will suggest some practical and mindful tools we can apply to continue to evolve and joyfully flourish.

THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE OFFICIAL TRAILER
In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City’s Central Park. The Central Park Five tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.
In this spellbinding account of the real facts of the Central Park jogger case, Sarah Burns powerfully examines one of New York City’s most notorious crimes and its aftermath.
On April 20, 1989, the body of the “Central Park jogger” is discovered crumpled in a ravine in Central Park. She’s been raped and repeatedly beaten, her skull is so badly injured she’s lost fifteen pints of blood before two passersby happen upon her bleeding body. Seemingly the case is solved quickly. Within days five black and Latino teenagers are apprehended by the Central Park precinct, and all five confess to the crime.

A good friend of mine sent me Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond the Fear as a birthday gift. She knows that for many years, my entire life really, I have struggled with wanting to be creative but not knowing how to go about it. Big Magic is great because it states many obvious things that, while I knew it in my head I still needed to hear it in order to overcome it.
I appreciate Elizabeth Gilbert’s take on how the creative process is a complicated, and yet simple endeavor. How it is full of oxymorons, and contradictions. How the only thing that remains constant about creative is that nothing remains constant.
Gilbert’s light take on something that many take too seriously is refreshing. Although, at times, Big Magic is a bit rambley and repetitive, the book on a whole is light-hearted and fun. Gilbert highlights many cruel truths about the creative process, and how people go about creating. While she never says that the “tortured artist” is wrong, she does point out that often times it is unnecessary.
As someone who has always struggled with a fear of creating this book was exactly the pep talk/kick in the pants I needed to handle many of those fears. I learned the fears and insecurities will never leave and that I must make a conscious effort to overcome and squash those fears and insecurities. Or, at the very least, shush them.
Most importantly Gilbert has given a name to that creative event, the moment when you’ve found something you truly enjoy and can be creative and have fun and learn things. She calls it, Big Magic.
On a whole I enjoyed the book, and I think anyone who is trying to live a wonderful life would as well. The things Gilbert discusses don’t apply exclusively to creative as in “artistic” pursuits. They apply to any particular pursuit that is exciting or brings you joy. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels stuck, trapped, or nervous about their life.

Lesson 2.3: Library Reference
Since we are now working with two types of library ('Work' library and the self-created library), we will have to refer to the datasets by the LIBRARY REFERENCE (Libref).
Let's take a look at the example below.
LIBNAME SASLib "/folders/myfolders";
In the example above, WORK.SASCrunch refers to the 'SASCrunch' dataset from the WORK library. Similarly, SASLib.Example refers to the 'Example' dataset from the SASLib Library.
DONE! You have learned how to refer to datasets from the various libraries.
The codes above will work just the same as the one in the previous example.

Homily by the Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M., for the dedication of the St. Louise de Marillac Chapel
September 4, 2007
This is my paten and chalice. To me, they’re twice blessed. Certainly, they were blessed in the usual way many years ago. But in my home parish of St. Hugo of the Hills, in a northern suburb of Detroit, it is the tradition of the parish to give a paten and chalice to those who are ordained to the priesthood.
And rather than give a new chalice, the parish chooses a used one from the cupboard. The reason is simple. The parish wants to hand over a cup and plate that have been used by everyone. The entire parish has taken communion from these vessels. They’re reminding me every time I take from this cup that I come from that community and will always be a member of that community. And so, to me, these will always feel twice blessed.
We’re about to bless this chapel. We’ll use an ancient rite to do that, parts of which go back centuries. We’ll cleanse and purify the space with holy water, fill the air with precious incense, lather the altar in perfumed oil, light candles to acknowledge the sacred presence, and we’ll pray at great length. But most importantly, we will share communion in this room. And that common act, more than any of the events before it, will bless this room.
In time, there will have been many Eucharists in this room. Many readings of the sacred texts. Many reflections and homilies. Uncountable prayers for those in need. Prayers for good grades, I’m sure. But also desperate prayers in frantic hours. Quiet moments in which students can sit and think. Music sung and made. Signs of peace exchanged. Friendships strengthened or made. We gather to bless this room, but in truth, it will continue to be blessed every time people gather within its walls.
This now becomes sacred space, but not in the sense that God can be held within these walls. Our classrooms are also sacred space at DePaul. Our faculty offices in which students turn for advice and counsel are sacred space. Our libraries and laboratories, in which students and faculty seek for new knowledge, are sacred space. Our sidewalks too are sacred, as we meet one another and form the community we name DePaul.
But this space particularly-with the beautiful art, glasswork, furnishings, textiles, the play of light within it-captures something holy. It becomes a space in which we can most immediately acknowledge the presence of the divine throughout our days and lives. But more than any of the lovely things within it, it will be the daily gathering of the community to listen to God word and place our lives in God’s hands and at the service of one another that will hold the sacredness of this space. It becomes a place where we acknowledge that all the world’s knowledge and search for knowledge are caught up in the divine.
May this little chapel, named for a faith-filled woman who brought other women together in powerful ways to serve the poor, be a place where people search for what’s most true. May this be a place of finding purpose and meaning. May it be a place of probing the inner yearning that stretches toward something larger than ourselves. May it be a place of hearing Jesus’ words to us afresh. May it be a place of naming our emptiness when life is lived apart from that God, and entering the holy search for relationship with God. May it be a place of acceptance and invitation, where all are welcome and loved.
So easily seen from the outside by all who pass by, may this space be a blessing for the entire campus community. May it be a quiet, gentle reminder of the God who quietly waits for us.
And having spent time within its walls, may people leave ready to serve God’s people outside its walls. For only in this way could a chapel fully honor the name of Louise de Marillac.
Let us then bless this space.
