One of my favorite by-products of Themed Readings, is when a series of books align on an idea I’d never even considered before, creating a through-line that is resonant and significant, but had since gone unnoticed. My best example of this was when I started considering the implications of ‘cultural memory.’ I hadn’t thought about it much, but after reading certain books it became an idea I apply to life quite frequently. So here are the books that made me consider deeply something I had never thought about before.
Fiction- The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
All of Ishiguro’s books address memory in some way. And most of his books also deal with how a culture deals with memory. But usually this perspective is provide through an individual’s personal recollections and so the memory of the collective feels secondary. However, with his book The Buried Giant, Ishiguro thrusts the memory of a group to the forefront, and then puts the memories (or lack thereof) of individuals into the supporting role. This was my introduction to the topic and its inherent tough questions. Is it better to remember the wrongs done while a society developed? Or is it better to forget- to move on and try to make the most of the future without dredging up the wrongs of the past? In The Buried Giant individuals of Medieval Britain and the country as a whole confront these questions. Should they ignore the real harm done in its creation, or leave it all buried beneath them in the hopes of a better future? The correct choice is left ambiguous, almost doomed for failure. The success of any society will be on the bones of those who were wronged, and those bones don’t often remain buried.
Fiction- The Giver by Lois Lowry
I found the convergence of this complex theme, and this popular middle grade fiction work to be one of the most delightful examples of unexpected theme overlap. The Buried Giant, a relatively new book, got me thinking about the idea of a cultural memory. But then reading The Giver for the first time- admittedly really late in my life- made me realize we had been asking children in middle schools all over the United States to think about a culture’s memory for years. The Giver and Jonas must bear the memories of the society, the positives and the negatives, simultaneously protecting them from what was wrong and taking from them all that is vibrant. Jonas recognizes the downside of forgetting, even after having lived in a society that chose to forget- a seeming paradise at that. And he elects pain and heartache and the uncomfortableness of acknowledging their cultural past, the good and the bad.
Nonfiction- Begin Again by Eddie Glaude
The best part of these themes is when they jump from fiction into nonfiction. And the concept of a cultural memory became a point of contention for all of us in the past year as a portion of the United States asked the country to acknowledge the sins of our past and reconcile with it to create a better future. In response, more than a few Americans questioned the merit of focusing on what we had done wrong, claiming that it would only further the already considerable divide, and questioning what could meaningfully be done about those sins anyway. The conversation was often not held well or civilly, but it is a good conversation nonetheless. How do we talk about what we did wrong, like racism, without growing the already existent bitterness? And how can we move past our past wrongdoings when those who were wrong still feel unreconciled and/or we refuse further conversation on the topic? These are the complicated questions that Begin Again, a book about what James Baldwin, has to teach us about our current racial reckoning. James Baldwin focused on how America can overcome racism of the past and present to have a future we can push towards together. He confronted the past head on and through reflecting on the impact racism had on black people who experienced it and the white people who perpetuated it, he teaches us a better and more accurate story about who we are.
Fiction- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Similarly with The Giver, this tough topic about cultural memory (this time as it pertains to race) has been packaged for younger readers as well. The Hate U Give was a sensation upon its release and will continue to be read for years to come. Dealing specifically with the impact a police shooting has on a community, The Hate U Give tells a story about racism’s impact on Starr Carter, and how she navigates both the black community that still has not healed from the scars of police violence and discrimination, and a white community that has not confronted it. There is truth in fiction, and this book does not shy away from any of the complexities of this conversation- including police killings, the portrayal of those who were killed, and the rioting and looting that so often follows, presenting it with the special type of profundity that is unique to books for children.
Fiction- The Fifth Season by NK Jesmin
The Fifth Season the first book in the groundbreaking (pun intended) Broken Earth trilogy, is not about cultural memory per say… but understanding the way cultural memory is at play in any society helps add dimension and layers to this already terrific book. The book revolves around the same character at different time periods in her life, after having renamed and recreated herself as someone new. She traverses a land that constantly refreshes itself after devastating climatological disasters, the only consistency between ‘Seasons’ is the stonelore which maintains history and the prejudicial hatred against the main character’s magical people, the orogeny. The Fifth Season is built on the premise that in order to make a society work it often is on the backs of oppressed, and the difficulties of trying to break that cycle when you experience the oppression.

Travelling to the end of the world is an expression that evokes the exploration of the ends of the earth, the most remote and mysterious places. This concept has always fascinated mankind, inspiring adventurers, writers and dreamers throughout the ages. The idea of travelling to the ends of the earth, its origins, its meaning and the destinations that best embody this exploration of the unknown. The idea of travelling to the end of the world dates back to the earliest explorers and cartographers. In ancient times, the Greeks and Romans believed in a flat world surrounded by oceans, with the end of the world being the place where land met water. The legends and myths of the time are full of stories of distant and mysterious lands inhabited by strange creatures and unimaginable riches. In the Middle Ages, explorers such as Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus pushed back the boundaries of the known world, paving the way for new discoveries that redefined the concept of the end of the world. Tales of their journeys captured people’s imaginations and inspired numerous expeditions in search of unknown lands
The journey to the end of the world is more than just a geographical exploration. It is a spiritual and philosophical exploration, an exploration of the unknown and a confrontation with the self. It’s a journey that pushes us out of our comfort zones, forces us to confront our fears and pushes back our limits. In literature, the journey to the end of the world is often used as a metaphor for the inner journey, the journey of self-discovery and understanding of human existence. Many writers, such as Jules Verne in Around the World in 80 Days or Herman Melville in Moby-Dick, have used this theme to explore the depths of the human soul.Today, there are still places on Earth that symbolise the idea of the end of the world. These are isolated, hard-to-reach places that have preserved their wild and enigmatic nature. The icy landscapes and exceptional wildlife of Antarctica are often perceived as the highest point in the world. It is an almost deserted region, where living conditions are extreme and nature reigns supreme. Another destination that symbolises the end of the world is tiny Easter Island, in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. The endless dunes and hidden oases of the Sahara desert also offer an extraordinary experience. It is a hostile environment, where survival is a constant challenge.
The journey to the end of the world is a captivating adventure, a quest that inspires individuals to push back their boundaries and discover the unknown. Whether through travelogues, writing or actual expeditions, the world continues to feed our imagination and our desire to make discoveries. In an increasingly interconnected and explored world, there are still places that symbolise the end of the world, places where you can feel isolated in the face of the immense expanse of nature and the universe. These destinations make us realise that, despite our technological advances and our understanding of the world, there is still much to discover and grasp. So a trip to the edge of the world is an invitation to adventure, a motivation to leave our comfort zone and discover the limits of our planet and ourselves. It’s a journey that shakes us up, enriches us and reminds us of our position in the world.

Spoiler alert: In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story ʻThe Adventure of the Lion’s Maneʼ, Sherlock Holmes reveals that the victim, who was found on the beach covered with red welts, was not at all whipped to death: the murderer was in fact a lion’s mane—a jellyfish scientifically known as Cyanea capillata. But is it really possible that a human could be killed by a lion’s mane? In this case, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who had pursued a medical career before becoming a writer, was guided by his imagination. Usually, Cyanea capillata‘s stings just present as local inflammation and swelling. Systematic reactions are not widely described, but nausea, sweating, abdominal pain, and muscular cramps may occur. However Doyle’s descriptions were not entirely fictional; there have been reports of fatal encounters with other species like the Portuguese man o’ war (Physalia physalis) and certain species of box jellyfish.

Argent was owned by Allen Glick, but the casino was believed to be controlled by various organized crime families from the Midwest.
This skimming operation, when uncovered by the FBI, was the largest ever exposed. Pileggi contacted Scorsese about taking the lead of the project, which became known as Casino.
Scorsese and Pileggi collaborated on the script for five months, towards the end of Some characters were combined, and parts of the story were set in Kansas City instead of Chicago.
A problem emerged when they were forced to refer to Chicago as "back home" and use the words "adapted from a true story" instead of "based on a true story".
They also decided to simplify the script, so that the character of Sam "Ace" Rothstein only worked at the Tangiers Casino, in order to show a glimpse of the trials involved in operating a Mafia-run casino hotel without overwhelming the audience.
The scene was too detailed, so they changed the sequence to show the explosion of Sam's car and him flying into the air before hovering over the flames in slow motion—like a soul about to go straight down to hell.
Filming took place at night in the Riviera casino in Las Vegas, with the nearby defunct Landmark Hotel as the entrance, to replicate the fictional Tangiers.
According to the producer Barbara De Fina , there was no point in building a set if the cost were the same to use a real-life one.
Several edits were made in order to reduce the rating to R. Upon its release, the film was heavily criticized for its intense violence. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, although their praise was more muted than it had been for the thematically similar Goodfellas , released only five years earlier, with some reviewers criticizing Scorsese for retreading familiar territory.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Impressive ambition and bravura performances from an outstanding cast help ' Casino pay off in spite of a familiar narrative that may strike some viewers as a safe bet for director Martin Scorsese".

In this book, Pileggi relates the story of the last days of mob control of Las Vegas casinos, specifically the Stardust.
If you have seen the movie Casino, you know the general story but the names and many facts were changed. Pileggi does not let his writing get in the way of a good story.
The book is made up primarily of interviews and long stretches of story-telling by "Lefty" Rosenthal himself, various mob informants, and an assortment of federal and state law enforcement agents.

Of course, you can always use Pesci, DeNiro and Stone as the faces and still be ok. But in the glory days, it was organized crime, primarily out of Los Angeles and Chicago, who owned Vegas.
Lefty Rosenthal was a handicapper, bookmaker and odds man, trusted by the mob to go out to Vegas and run the Stardust and Hacienda Hotels. The first part of the book introduces Lefty and his background as well as his best friend, Tony Spilotro, a well-known Chicago mobster.
After Lefty moves out to Vegas, he meets Geri McGee aka Ginger a well-known casino hustler and escort who works the punters as they come in to Vegas.
This despite her undying love for her ex-boyfriend, baby daddy Lenny. Tony Spilotro was sent to Vegas to keep an eye on Lefty and to secure their interests in the casino.
But Tony, cut free from his leash and keepers in Chicago, became a one crew crime spree. Bringing in his own people, he did burglaries, murders, jewelry heists, armed robbery, loan sharking etc.
The town was his for the taking and he took it all — including Geri. The movie closely followed the book so it will not disappoint film fans.
In fact, it will enhance the viewing experience and make you want to watch it all again — twice! Most of this book is gleaned from personal interviews with questionable characters, but how else would anyone get a handle on how the Mafia ran Las Vegas for 40 years?
Nicholas Pileggi does yeoman's work tracking down the main cops and culprits to paint a vivid picture of the casino industry when it was little short of a mob-front.

The book centers on the friendship of "Lefty" Frank Rosenthal, a world-renowned sports-handicapper and gambler when that was still a real federal crime, and Tony "the Ant" Spilotro, a small-time thug with an outsized ego.
They both grew up on the streets of West Side Chicago and learned to make their own gray or black-market incomes before moving on to bigger things.
When a former real-estate broker named Allen Glick bought the Stardust casino in using Teamster Central States Pension funds of which the Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Chicago mobs all had a piece , the mafia let him know that they were going to be effective owners, and Lefty would be their procounsel and effective manager.
Tony meanwhile moved out to Vegas as the head of a crew who would bust into safes and run small-time fleecing operations, but his notoriety eventually hurt both Lefty's and the mob's prospects.
Yet before an unrelated Kansas-City murder case, the insane note-keeping habits of Kansas mobman Carl Deluna, and bug opened up the whole operation, the mafia in Las Vegas was "skimming" billions a year from casinos and running much of the town.
Of course, this book was later turned into a classic Martin Scorsese movie of the same name, which is very faithful to it, but the book does give one a better window into the mechanics and funding of the mob, and how it grew to almost unimaginable wealth and power.
It's a great story. May 30, Johnathon rated it really liked it. Pileggi does a great job getting interviews and stories from his subjects, from Lefty, the FBI and various other mobsters, and let's them tell the story.
It is a story so crazy it has to be true Lefty at one point had a popular talk show where he interviewed O. The result is an enjoyable page turner well-worth reading, but not a classic true crime novel on how the mob left Las Vegas.
Jun 26, Debbie rated it did not like it Shelves: Scorscese's work is infinitely more interesting, but it's a fictional account based on this book.
The best description is that it is bare bones. I kept wanting broader descriptions and background. Perhaps my dissatisfaction stems from my recent reading of various types of Pulitzer Prize winning non-fiction titles.
For instance, Pileggi quotes Rosenthal as saying, after Jerry's passing, that lots of folks suspected him of killing her or arranging her death.
But he paid a considerable sum to have Scorscese's work is infinitely more interesting, but it's a fictional account based on this book. But he paid a considerable sum to have determined her actual cause of death.
That's all that was said. You hear what is missing, too, don't you. The full book was that way. An excellent story about the mobs influence in Las Vegas, centering around two characters, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, professional gambler and casino manager, and Anthony Spilotro, Chicago mobster.
The story recounts the teamster financing of casinos, the business fronts, the mobster bosses, the murders, the skim, the thievery, the corruptions, and how it all fell apart with multiple players going to jail, or being murdered by their own associates.
The book was a good read, and the movie rendition An excellent story about the mobs influence in Las Vegas, centering around two characters, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, professional gambler and casino manager, and Anthony Spilotro, Chicago mobster.
The book was a good read, and the movie rendition reflected the book's story. What an insane book! It's crazy thinking how the Mafia was operating there.
Made me think a lot about Vegas Anyone wanting to know some Mafia history about Vegas would find this book a must read.
This is one of those times when I'm not sure which is better-the book or the movie because they are both sensational. Aug 04, Jcshumate rated it liked it.
It's funny that the book that provided the narrative for an awesomely overstuffed three-hour film epic could be this short and breezy and still provide more detail than the film.
Books and movies are different from each other I guess. I think I liked Wiseguy more but i read that 20 years ago, which is weird to say out loud.
Compelling read Given Casino is one of my favorite movies, I thought I should at least read the book. It flows very well but I did find it hard to remember who was talking at some points.
A lot of characters sometimes made it hard to follow. But, congratulations to Mr Pileggi for documenting a very interesting part of Las Vegas history.

I am a German native speaker and offer you excellent fluency and writing skills in both German and English. I can assure you that your text will be faithfully and elegantly presented in the target language.
My background as a writer and playwright in both German and English and my love for both languages, as well as my interest in books and translation, proved to be a good foundation for becoming a translator and interpreter.
I started out in Vienna as a student of German literature, drama theory and acting. In 1986 my need to broaden my horizon led me to travel to the U.S, where I have lived ever since. I made my home in the San Francisco Bay Area and continued to study theater and writing. I also discovered my interest in translation and decided to train and work as a translator. Becoming a translator turned out to be a great way to stay in touch with my native tongue and to hone my writing skills in both languages.
As a trained actor and voice-over talent I have worked as both voice talent and director on many German voice-over projects in the Bay Area. Here is a sample of one of my most recent voice-over projects, a corporate video for Qualys.
I approach each project with creativity as well as a strong commitment to delivering a meticulous translation. I enjoy translating voice-over scripts, advertising and marketing material, as well as literature and children’s books. I recently completed the German translation of 13 children’s books by the Afghan author and educator Idries Shah, who retold traditional Sufi teaching stories for children and adults in these beautifully illustrated books, published by Hoopoe Books, Los Altos, CA.

in the passing strange
watercolor, gouache, ink, pigment on paper
Shakes' sat at his table in his tiny house and wondered about the passing strange outside his window. In reality, he was the odd one among the townspeople, but no one knew how to talk to him, instead, when he passed by, they would mumble to themselves, such an odd fellow, and he would see them mumble and think, such odd mumble mouths.

Architect: Johnson-Roberts Associates
The architect designed a custom furniture package to compliment the custom woodwork throughout the building. The barrel vault ceiling makes the space seem expansive, yet at the same time quite comfortable. The reading tables, computer tables, and display pieces were all constructed by the Worden Company, based on the architect’s drawings. The custom shelving millwork package by Worden is also clearly in evidence. The primary wood species in this library is quarter-sawn white oak, which communicates an elegant and timeless quality to all the pieces in the space. The Children’s Room was designed in Maple to compliment the softer colors that were used. All table surfaces and canopy tops are linoleum. The Young Adult Room was designed around Worden’s “Stance” table line, for both computer tables and reading tables. The display of new books is reminiscent of a retail bookstore, and makes for enjoyable browsing by patrons.

His [William Easterly’s] target in his puckishly titled The White Man’s Burden is the spirit of benign meddling that lies behind foreign aid, foreign military interventions and such do-gooder institutions as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations. In his account, such efforts are fatally contaminated by what the philosopher Karl Popper called “utopian social engineering.” Easterly’s list of well-meaning villains stretches from the economist Jeffrey Sachs to the rock singer and charity impresario Bono. washintonpost.com
Initial Reaction (No. of pages read: 48): William Easterly begins this book accusing celebrities and our world leaders of oversimplifying the conundrum of giving impoverished foreign nations our x billions. He disdainfully labels the current people at the forefront of the relief effort as Planners, or the people who maintain the status quo, and their work thus far as the Big Plan. He refers to the second disaster of our planet: the fact that none of the billions of dollars the West has donated has made much difference in the daily plight of the Rest (third world nations). Within the first twenty pages of The White Man’s Burden Mr. Easterly writes his rebuttal of Jeffrey Sach’s book, The End of Poverty, and compares him to Robert Owens, an utopian. While I regard this book with slightly more respect, I believe that Mr. Easterly has a lot in common with Mr. Sachs. Even though I am about 20% of the way through The White Man’s Burden, William Easterly spends more time making amusing analogies and slagging off his opponents than actual substance.
While much of the plan has been known to economists and government leaders for a number of years (including Kofi Annan, to whom Sachs is special advisor), this is Sachs’s first systematic exposition of it for a general audience, and it is a landmark book.For on-the-ground research in reducing disease, poverty, armed conflict and environmental damage, Sachs has been to more than 100 countries, representing 90% of the world’s population. The book combines his practical experience with sharp professional analysis and clear exposition.–Publisher’s Weekly
Initial Thoughts (No. of pages read: 1.5)-I tired to approach this book with an open mind. After all, Jeffrey Sachs is apparently the de facto expert on development economics.Because I started reading The White Man’s Burden first, which directly refutes points in The End of Poverty, my opinion of Jeffrey Sach’s book was already warped. I gave this book my patented snap! judgement:
catchy title? check
laundry list of qualifications in the author’s biography? check
tenured professor at venerated university? check
aaannnnddd the pièce de résistance of any commercial scholarly book, a celebrity endorsement? check, check, and check
Reading Bono (of U2 fame) was not dissimilar to listening to a classmates’ poetry–you sit through both feeling extreme secondhand embarrassment. Not only does Bono blithely accuse my fellow Americans and I of racism within the first two pages of his forward, but that we need to “really accept their lives–African lives–are equal to ours, we would all be doing more…It’s an uncomfortable truth.” Hmmm, really Bono? I seriously doubt that many 21st century Americans, whom are plagued with images of malnourished and disease stricken African children on the television, regard Africans as subhumans. After all, we are reminded daily by our favorite rock stars of our unfulfilled destiny: manumitting the continent of Africa from poverty. Furthermore, Bono’s magnum opus excludes a very important group of people. What about the rest of the rest of the undeveloped world? Asia? Eastern Europe? Latin America? I tried to reserve my judgement on this book until I ploughed past the forward, but I can’t. While Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs will always be smarter than me, I have a difficult time respecting his book because of the ridiculous forward.


“I must say that the story reads very well. It reminds me of when I read Future Shock (by the futurist Alvin Toffler) a long time ago – one can quickly absorb the salient points. If it only didn’t have the funny spelling” – Posted by Dr Dwight Weller PhD (Former Professor of Chemistry at Oregon State University and now Senior Vice President at AVI Bio-Pharma) on 7 September 2011
“Dr. Shrewsbury’s book is an important work that vividly portrays to the lay reader and scientific community the ongoing evolution of modern medicine from a broad perspective and with a detailed examination of the central role of modulation of gene expression and repair of faulty DNA.”
“An insightful and comprehensive historical perspective on the foundation of modern medicine and a visionary outlook on exciting developments in the field of nucleic acid-based therapeutics.” – Posted by Dr Doug Kornbrust PhD, DABT (President of Preclinsight) on 30 January 2013
“Dr Shrewsbury gave a talk about his new book Defy Your DNA at the American Medical Writer’s chapter meeting which was very well-received and sparked a great discussion. There is no doubt that this new technology will have a significant impact on the treatment of many diseases, very possibly offering hope to patients with here-to-for fatal and incurable diseases. He put this new work into context within the development of medical treatments throughout the ages and described it in very accessible terminology without losing the depth needed to understand the technology. I am looking forward to reading the book – it will surely be a great addition to the bookshelves of those of us who have a great passion for science and how it has informed the development of medical treatments.’ – Posted by Dr Catherine Magill PhD (after a talk to the American Medical Writers Association, Northern Californian Chapter) on 24 February 2013
“In his book Defy Your DNA, Dr. Stephen Shrewsbury, uses his clinical experience, anecdotes and his knowledge of the molecular basis of rare genetic diseases to weave a narrative about the past and more importantly the exciting future of therapeutics. Shrewsbury is not alone in his treatise that targeting RNA with novel therapeutic agents will play an increasingly important role in modern medicine: the scientific community and Wall Street share his enthusiasm for the field. The book provides a primer on the subject and a look into the excitement.” – Posted by Dr Art Levin PhD, (Executive Vice President, miRagen Therapeutics and Founder at Levin BioScience) on 3 March 2013
“Dr. Stephen Shrewsbury will enthrall you while explaining why your DNA is not your destiny. Read this book if you are a seasoned health professional. Read this book if you are curious about cutting edge scientific advances and want lucid explanations of gene therapy and more. Read this book if you have a loved one with a rare disease. Read it now.” – Posted by Nancy R. Katz PhD, (President & Principal Medical Writing Consultant, Illyria Consulting Group, Inc.) on 15 March 2013
“Duchenne enters the homes of families around the world. Parents, at first unable to grasp its meaning, seek information and advice on-line. By definition, parents and family members become advocates, explaining what Duchenne means, what is it, what might happen, and what they hope for. The explain over and over again, until the story becomes a regular conversation. Duchenne, the unwanted guest, follows them around. It impacts every activity, every plan, every waking moment. And they necessarily become experts about their son. But more is required of them. They necessarily become experts in genetics, learning about and understanding the genetic cause of their son’s Duchenne, understand what happens to muscle because the structural protein, dystrophin, is absent, and what targets are being explored that may have the potential to stop or reverse the pathology.
Families meet often on-line and in person to talk about Duchenne and what they might do to change the landscape, to expedite treatments for their son, for all the boys. Often, they have opportunities to meet with clinicians and researchers discussing complicated subjects as genetics, muscle physiology, targets, assays, animal studies, toxicology packages, clinical protocols. And often, especially those that are new to the world of Duchenne, they ask: “Is there a book I could read? Something that would expand my knowledge, something that might clarify, explain, describe what I should know?”
Dr. Shrewsbury’s book, Defy Your DNA, is that book. – Posted by Pat Furlong, (Founding President & CEO of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy) on 26 March 2013

A CAMPAIGN OF THEIR OWN
Documentary feature directed by Lionel Rupp, produced by Michael Mitchel. Switzerland. 2017
“A Campaign of Their Own” tells a different history. By focusing on the defeat of Bernie Sanders from the point of view of his most fervent supporters, the film is a deep immersion into a populist-political movement that was neglected and even ignored by the media, and especially in Europe. By plunging into the subject, the filmmakers discovered an ever-widening fault line within the Democratic Party and the beginning of a nationwide resistance movement that continues today. Under the direction of Lione Rupp I joined this project as Editing Consultant.


|Located on the Second floor of the Vernon Town Hall, The New England Civil War Museum is a collection of Civil War and Grand Army artifacts dating back to 1861. Comprised of the most extensive identified Civil War artifacts in Connecticut, it is the longest continued GAR hall in use in the entire United States of America, starting from September 1890 to today. The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War continue to meet under the same roof.
One of the highlights is The Burpee Collection. A Rockville, CT resident, Thomas F. Burpee, Colonel, 21st CT Infantry, used this collection of personal items during the war. Another rare treat is the Hirst Collection. 3 Brothers, John, Joseph, & Ben donated all of their personal items used in the Civil War. The Brothers were members of the "Fighting 14th" which has the distinction of fighting in every battle from Antietam through Appomattox. The Fighting 14th CT remains the most honored regiment in Connecticut.
Please keep in mind that the Thomas O'Connell Historical Library is now opening. The Library contains many original works, and a collection of Rare Civil War information and photographs.
Admission is free. Donations are greatly appreciated.
Matthew Reardon is the museum's new executive director; prospective patrons should contact him for information on special openings. He can be reached via email at: email@example.com


Even though Christ taught compassion, they claimed he would incite a riot and crucified him. Like Christ, Arthur Jarvis teaches compassion and love between neighbors - whites and blacks, separated by the policy of apartheid.
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ leads to redemption, spiritual growth of many people and progress; likewise, the death of Arthur Jarvis brings reform and hope.
Ironically, the tragedy brings together Stephen Kumalo, the father of a black murderer and Jarvis, the father of Arthur Jarvis, the white victim. High Place where Jarvis lives is symbolic of an elevated position of many whites.
Before his son's death, Jarvis is on the hilltop, thinking in a distant, uninvolved way about the problems between whites and blacks, seeing just the white point of view. Some of their labor was drawn from Ndotcheni, and they knew how year by year there was less food grown in these reserves. Jarvis is not a bad person but is ignorant about the lives of blacks and the real issues that take place. After the death of his son Jarvis learns to view blacks as real people.
Jarvis reads his son's papers and suddenly becomes concerned with the ideas expressed by his son and by Abraham Lincoln. Jarvis doesn't yet know Kumalo is the father of the criminal, and doesn't understand Kumalo's anxiety.
However, Jarvis doesn't dismiss him as a "dirty old parson" like before. Earlier Jarvis might barely have noticed expressions on the face of a Zulu, but now he has changed enough to recognize that this man does not mean to be rude. Most of the whites don't view blacks as real people and are unaware the problems blacks have to face.
Therefore it is easy for whites to oppress blacks. In the end of the book, Jarvis plays the role of an angel coming down from above. When Jarvis returns to his "High Place," he doesn't view the problems of the black community in Ndotcheni as being below him as earlier, but plays an active role in reform. Arthur Jarvis was working on plans that would give the native a sense of direction and worth, but his life was cut short by the very forces that he was working to improve.
The novel is not only a study of social problems but also a study in human relationships. Kumalo, interested at first only in reuniting his own family, comes to understand the greater problems facing his race. In such a novel as this, the absorbing social message must be realized by vivid, human characters in order to make the theme memorable. Many of the ideas of the novel are presented through the suffering of Kumalo. In fact, through suffering, several persons undergo a significant change.
James Jarvis, through the suffering he undergoes as a result of the death of his son, learns to understand his son, whom he had not previously really known. Furthermore, he comes to a better understanding of his own self, and finally he develops an understanding of the social situation of the entire country.
As a result of this suffering and consequent understanding, he becomes a reformed man and continues the work begun by his deceased son by contributing to projects intended to improve the state of the natives. Likewise, Kumalo undergoes tremendous suffering through the death of his son, Absalom.
He is disillusioned by finding his sister and then his son in desperate and degenerate conditions; still later he has to face the death of his son, a shattering experience which brings him to understand many more of the complexities of life.
He realizes that man cannot live simply by the old values; instead, he has to work toward creating new and different values of equal importance. Paton uses unique literary techniques to enhance the poignancy of his themes.
He employs intercalary chapters to dramatize the historical setting of the novel. Paton also uses dashes to indicate dialogue, allowing not only for the realistic portrayal of conversation, but also for the rapid dramatic actions among characters.
This simple literary technique generates the movement of plot and points directly to the language. Diction remains simple, yet eloquent in its delivery by the various characters. Kumalo speaks in a mildly solemn language emphasizing his ecclesiastic background; the Reverend Msimangu often speaks in an oratory fashion to proclaim his views.
John Kumalo uses the language of violence to demonstrate his anger over apartheid and his love for power as a black leader in Johannesburg. The tribal language brings the novel credence and revelation of a people rooted in tradition and honor. In , Paton began writing Cry, the Beloved Country. Less than four months later, he finished it. Born in South Africa, Paton knew firsthand the tragedy that marked his homeland.
He noted that although the story is not true, it is a social record of the truth. Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic work of world literature, not only for bringing to light a destructive political system but also for depicting the humanity among people that can be lost in the struggle for justice and power.
- Cry the Beloved Country Cry the beloved country, by Alan Paton, is a book which tells the story of how James Jarvis, a wealthy estate owner who, because of his own busy life, had to learn of the social degradation in south Africa through the death of his only son.

She was also “thefascist Italian lady,” says Sorgi, noting how it was taboo on the time to write down about Italy’s darkish past. It’s unsurprising that an erotic novel can be deemed scandalous, nonetheless John Cleland’s Fanny Hill , the story of a youthful girl pressured into a lifetime of prostitution, took it to the following degree. Originally titled Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, Cleland’s typically banned and incessantly censored novel was deemed “perverted” for its sexual content. Spencer’s hypnotic novel—to not be confused with the 2 sappy screen diversifications by administrators who clearly stopped studying after the title—insists that the kind of love that knows no bounds is the most harmful of all.

How to Become a Librarian
Librarians direct the day-to-day activities at academic, public, elementary, and secondary school libraries and make plans for the future of their libraries as well. Librarians curate collections of library materials and help patrons locate and use library resources. They also direct educational activities for the community, like story time for young children and classes in topics like conducting research or using the Internet. Librarians also manage library operations by planning budgets, hiring and managing staff, and choosing materials for their libraries.
There are a number of specialties that librarians can pursue depending on their interests. Librarians may specialize in a specific field, like law or medicine, or they may work with specific groups of patrons, like children. Some focus on digital librarianship, helping patrons evaluate and navigate digital sources of information or using technology to catalog and index digital information.
What kind of training is required to become a librarian?
Most librarian positions require a master’s degree in library or information science from a program that is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). Library science programs accept applicants from all kinds of educational backgrounds as long as they have a bachelor’s degree. Having a high undergraduate GPA and a high score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) will help in the admissions process, as will strong letters of recommendation.
Students in library science programs take courses to prepare them in the core competencies of librarianship as defined by the ALA. They learn about the foundations of the profession, including its history and ethics, current trends in librarianship, and the law as it applies to libraries. Students also learn about information resources and how to evaluate, select, purchase, process, store, and eventually de-select materials. Additional courses focus on collection development and management, and the organization of library resources.
Many of the current trends in librarianship are related to advances in technology, and the ALA requires library science programs to prepare students with technical knowledge and skills. Students must be familiar with various information, communication, and assistive technologies and learn how to evaluate technology products and deploy them in a library setting. Because technology is always changing, students also learn how to identify emerging trends and products and choose if and how to include them in their current practice.
Library science programs also focus on preparing students to interact with their community and connect their patrons with information that meets their needs. They should learn how to reach different audiences in their community and respond to the needs of these groups.
Are there any certification or licensure requirements?
Librarian who want work in elementary and secondary public schools may be required to obtain a teacher certification. Each state sets its own requirements for teacher certification, but in most cases, librarians will need to meet educational requirements by earning a bachelor’s or master’s degree and pass a licensing examination. School Library Monthly maintains a web resource that details the licensure requirements for school librarians in each state.
Some states require all public librarians to obtain a license. In many states, public librarians must hold a master’s degree in library science from an ALA-accredited program, but some states set alternate educational standards for licensure. The ALA Allied Professional Association (ALA-APA) lists requirements for public librarian licensure on its website.
How long does it take to become a librarian?
Earning a master’s degree in library science can take one to two years. Counting the time it takes to earn a bachelor’s degree, it can take five to six years to become a librarian.
What does a librarian earn?
The median yearly pay for librarians in the United States was $55,370 in 2012. The lowest ten percent of earners in this field made less than $33,380 and the top ten percent earned more than $85,430 that year.
Librarians who worked in college, university, and professional school libraries earned the highest median wage among their peers at $58,700, with elementary and secondary school librarians following close behind at $57,310.
What are the job prospects?
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of librarians in the United States will grow 7 percent between 2012 and 2020, slower than the average growth for all occupations during that time. The BLS attributes this slow growth to shrinking library budgets and increased usage of electronic resources.
What are the long term career prospects for librarians?
Librarians should continue growing throughout their careers by completing additional education, attending conferences, participating in professional associations, and serving on planning committees at their library. By gaining experience and undergoing professional development, librarians can be promoted to positions with greater responsibility.
Academic and public libraries typically employ many librarians and promote them through several ranks depending on their level of experience. Academic libraries may also expect librarians to contribute to the academic mission of their college or university by teaching classes, conducting research, or publishing or presenting scholarly articles and reviews. Like other faculty members, librarians may earn tenure after contributing a number of years of good performance, department participation, and scholarly activity.
How can I find a job as a librarian?
You can look for librarian positions on general job search websites or through the job listings hosted by the ALA, state boards, or school districts. You may also learn about job openings through the professional network that you build through your library science program. Because the job market for librarians is not strong at this time, you should be prepared to search for opportunities that may require you to move to another location.
You can better your job prospects by gaining some experience working in libraries as an intern or volunteer. Emphasizing any expertise you may have in related fields like social media, marketing, web design, or graphic design can help you can an advantage in your job search as well.
How can I learn more about becoming a librarian?
You can learn more about becoming a librarian through professional associations like the American Library Association. The ALA offers resources on its website for those who are interested in becoming librarians and it also hosts “round tables” and task forces that study issues in librarianship that may be of interest to you.
