The team before the competition begins.
Battle of the Books
The Tiger Tales team represented Timothy Christian School this year at the Elementary Battle of the Books held at AEA 267 in Cedar Falls. They competed with 3rd-6th-grade teams from many other Iowa schools answering questions from a list of books that they have been reading over the course of the school year.
The team won the Creativity Award!! Great job!
Books included on the reading lists have been carefully selected and are chosen for their high-interest level, challenging vocabulary, multiple reading levels, and appropriate content. The books are purposefully selected to expose students to a variety of genres, quality authors, diverse cultures, and historical eras.


The Allman Brothers 1973 release Beginnings was a reissue of their first two albums, The Allman Brothers Band (1969) and Idlewild South (1970). The compilation serves as the band’s mission statement and presents their strikingly innovative vision; a new perspective that fused classic blues and traditional influences from the American South with rock. A new “beginning” that gave original voice to the ever shifting landscape of American music. While bands in England were also popularizing blues rock at the time and creating their own revolutionary sound, they offered a distinctly British perspective. The Allman Brothers were Americans from the swampy back roads of the South and their approach held an inherent authenticity, serving as a an authoritative bridge between blues tradition and its future. Duane Allman, through his innate feel for and intuitive understanding of the blues, his unceasing work ethic, monumental talent and infinite vision, earned the regal distinction as legitimate heir to the throne passed on by Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker and Leadbelly. In the hands of Duane, The Allman Brothers Band would revolutionize and chart a new territory for American blues.
“Black Hearted Woman,” written by Gregg Allman, illustrates the band’s uncanny ability to take a simple blues line and turn it into an infectiously mesmerizing piece of rock music. The frenetic energy created between Trucks and Johanson who roll out mesmerizing beats with freight train intensity, bassist Berry Oakley’s intuitive rhythmic sense, the dazzling guitar magic created by the contrasting styles of Dickey Betts and Duane, and Gregg’s signature smoky, down home vocal approach all made for an unparalleled listening experience that, as if driven by the winds of divine inspiration, astounded an unsuspecting public and took the world by storm.


Consumer medical reference for women on a BOOKMAN® Book Card. Based on the PDR® Family Guide to Women's Health and Prescription Drugs® (1994). Comprises 41 chapters about major health concerns for women. Contains vital drug information for over 350 brand and generic drugs based on the Physicians' Desk Reference®. Also includes appendices with helpful information on drug risks in pregnancy and safe medication use, a list of sources and common women's health terms, and a directory of support groups for many conditions.


There’s nothing like the gift of a good book. Few presents are as intimate and heartfelt than a recommended novel or memoir, especially when it comes from those dearest to you. Particularly, when a story is resonant and powerful, it will take no more than a couple hundred pages to change a person’s life.
For overseas Filipinos workers (OFW), what will inevitably resonate are stories of individuals seeking opportunity abroad. This is not a subject we have to confine to Filipino writers; immigrants of various nationalities have encapsulated this experience through their art. The subject is vast and runs the gamut of human struggle toward redemption.
Think about the books you’d want to give your loved ones abroad. To help you out, we’ve compiled five books that deftly capture migrant and immigrant struggle:
1.) America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan
The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of the author’s own hardships as an immigrant in California in the 1930’s. The book was released in 1946 by Filipino-American fictionist, Carlos Bulosan. It has been described by a “social classic” by journalist Carey McWilliams.
2.) The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Written by a journalist and novelist, The Jungle depicts the sordid conditions in which immigrants lived in Chicago during the early 20th century. The novel vividly portrays the hopelessness among workers and the harsh working conditions in which they operated.
3.) The Other Hand by Chris Cleeve
This 2008 novel is about a British journalist and a Nigerian asylum seeker, who meet in a time of crisis. Drawing from his experience as employee at a detention center, author Chris Cleave paints an honest picture of asylum seekers in Britain.
4.) Philip Vera Cruz: A Personal History of Filipino Immigrants and the Farmworkers Movement by Craig Scharlin and Lilia V. Villanueva
The book is a personal memoir by Philip Vera Cruz, who served as vice president of the United Farm Workers in the 1960’s. It details Filipino farmworkers’ crucial 1965 strike that turned the tide for Pinoy laborers in California.
5.) A Nation of Immigrants by John F. Kennedy
Written by a then United States Senator John F. Kennedy, the would-be leader of the free world meditates on the integral role migration had played in his nation. When he ascended to the Presidency, Kennedy would later call on Congress to reevaluate migration law.


Arachidonic Acid Proven to Break Plateau
An Omega-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid (ARASYN™) supports the initiation of muscle protein synthesis following exercise. ARA is richly stored in muscle tissues, and these levels may vary. Further, they can be reduced by regular training. This may impair protein anabolism and contribute to training stagnation (plateau). ARA supplementation is recommended to support increases in muscle size, strength, and power, particularly at times when continued progress is slow or has halted. It is the Ultimate Plateau Breaking supplement… and this isn’t just hype. It’s been proven!*
A Clinically Validated Supplement
Sold under our brand name X-FACTOR™, the effectiveness of this supplement has now been demonstrated in placebo-controlled trials, published in the Public Library of Science (PLOS ONE). Thirty experienced weight-training subjects (age 20.4 ± 2.1 years) were given six capsules of X-Factor per day (1,500mg ARA) or placebo for eight weeks. By the end of the study, the subjects taking X-Factor had noticed significant improvements in Lean Body Mass (2.9%; 3.5 lbs), Upper-Body Strength (8.7%), and Peak Power (12.7%). The subjects taking placebo remained stagnant, without significant progress.
This makes X-FACTOR the first supplement ever shown to break plateau in experienced lifters!

Attack of the Page Snatchers
The Fayette County Public Library is closed and the families in Fayetteville are all very eager to have it reopen. Mrs. Ada is also excited for the day when the children and families are able to come back to visit. She is working hard to be sure that when they are able to come they will find organized shelves filled with amazing stories to read. Imagine her horror when one day Mrs. Ada pulls a book from the shelf and discovers that many of its pages are blank. She knows right away what this means. In library school she had been warned that unused libraries are sometimes invaded by the dreaded Page Snatchers. Page Snatchers are a species of zombie that feed off the words of popular books and stories. By absorbing the words from pages, a Page Snatcher is able to grow in power and keep anyone else from reading the book. They are also able to turn the characters absorbed into even more Page Snatchers. As soon as she saw the blank pages, Mrs. Ada dashed to her reference guide to supernatural library infestations to discover what could be done. What she found out was that there is NOTHING she can do. It is up to her readers. Can they solve four puzzles related to books and open the locks? If so, they will be able to unlock the magic portal that will send the invading Page Snatchers back to the dark realm from which they came and return the pages to the library's beloved books. So, reader it is up to you. Answer these puzzles. The fate of our library is in your hands.

Charlie knew it was foolish to cling to the idea that a vision could love him. She did though; she had too, in his mind’s eye it carried him through life. She was all that he wanted and more than he dreamed of. She was beauty and he was not. She was intellect and he was not. He was alive and she was not; for now. There had to be a way to become the love that she desired. Oh, if it were not for that thing called reality he could be happy. Alas, that was not to be; or was it?
From the book “Dust in Corners” by Kurt Frazier Sr.


Books have a fantastic way of releasing stress, escaping daily troubles, being innovative, inventing working ideas, and expanding our knowledge on things. Life would be exciting and comfortable if you could get the books readily at your disposal without struggling.
If you are a bookworm and wonder if it’s achievable to have a good library at home and wonderfully designed to fit your space. Then these designing ideas are going to enlighten you and broaden your thinking into having your desired home library;
Use Study Table
You can incorporate the study table for your home library since it gives you the pleasure to sit in any direction yet at an upright position. When establishing a home library, you should always consider having a table in place.
The study table helps when you need to work on somethings while reading since you may be researching and need to take notes simultaneously. Therefore, you need not struggle. Tylko can always guide and inspire you with more ideas and furniture take for your library.
Customization of Colors
Colors have an effective way of lighting up and decorating homes, and so should be embarrassed when having a home library. No one wants to stay in a place that looks boring, dull, and it’s not lively, have painting done to the shelves or arrange every book according to the cover page color.
When the place is attractive and sparkling with beauty, it gives you more appetite for reading more and staying within the vicinity.
Sometimes we have spaces in the house that are not in use. You can always maximize the space by using it as the library. For instance, your living room may be designed so that you are unable to use the space available near the door. You can install shelves around and store books.
Vertical spacing does not require a lot of spacing; instead, it helps you use the left spaces around the house.
Arts, books, paintings all blend well. They all have almost similar aspects. To have a well-designed and warm and welcoming library, arts would serve a great deal, for instance: if one side of the shelf is stocked with political biographies, you can put any art of renowned politicians.
You shouldn’t go through hell, have complicated designs fixed and take much time and resources to get a home library. Simplicity is always unique and defines a lot of your personality. Have a modern library that suits you and can even work as your office.


Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation - Learn from Michael Pollan's Culinary Journey in Epub Format
Cooked by Michael Pollan: A Natural History of Transformation
If you are a food lover, a curious cook, or a concerned eater, you might want to read Cooked by Michael Pollan. This book is not just a collection of recipes, but a fascinating exploration of how cooking transforms food and shapes our world.
Cooked Michael Pollan Epub Download suedois intranet emu
In Cooked, Michael Pollan, an acclaimed food writer and journalist, takes us on a journey through the four classical elements of cooking: fire, water, air, and earth. He learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. Along the way, he discovers the enduring power of these ancient techniques to create delicious things to eat and drink.
But Cooked is more than just a culinary adventure. It is also a profound investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, our history and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishes and delights. Cooking, above all, connects us.
In this article, we will give you an overview of what Cooked is about, why it is worth reading, and how you can download it in epub format for free or cheap. Let's get started!
The Four Elements of Cooking
Cooked is divided into four parts, each corresponding to one of the four elements of cooking. In each part, Pollan apprentices himself to a culinary master who teaches him how to master a single classic recipe using that element. Here are some highlights from each part:
Fire: The primal magic of barbecue
Pollan travels to North Carolina to learn how to make authentic barbecue from a pit master named Ed Mitchell. He learns how to build a fire, choose the right wood, season the meat, and control the temperature. He also learns about the history and culture of barbecue, and how it reflects the social and racial dynamics of the South.
He also explores the ethical and environmental implications of eating meat, and how fire shaped human evolution and gastronomy. He argues that cooking meat over fire is not only a way of honoring the animals we eat, but also a way of expressing our gratitude and reverence for nature.
Water: The art of braising and pot cooking
Pollan moves from the open fire to the enclosed pot, where he learns how to braise meat and vegetables from a Chez Panisse-trained cook named Samin Nosrat. He learns how to use water as a medium for transferring heat and flavor, and how to balance salt, fat, acid, and heat in any dish.
He also examines the consequences of eating highly processed food, and how cooking with water can help us reclaim control over our food and health. He shows how cooking with water can be a way of expressing our care and love for our family and friends, and how it can foster a sense of community and belonging.
Air: The science and culture of bread making
Pollan ventures into the realm of air, where he learns how to bake bread from a celebrated baker named Chad Robertson. He learns how to make a sourdough starter, knead the dough, shape the loaves, and bake them in a wood-fired oven. He also learns about the science and magic of fermentation, and how microbes transform grain and water into a fragrant loaf of bread.
He also explores the history and politics of bread, and how it reflects the social and economic changes of human civilization. He argues that baking bread is not only a way of nourishing our bodies, but also a way of connecting to our roots and traditions.
Earth: The mysterious alchemy of fermentation
Pollan dives into the world of fermentation, where he learns how to make cheese, beer, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso from various mad-genius fermentos. He learns how to harness the power of fungi and bacteria to perform amazing alchemies of flavor and nutrition. He also learns about the health benefits of fermented foods, and how they can boost our immune system and gut microbiome.
He also investigates the cultural and spiritual aspects of fermentation, and how they reflect our relationship with nature and the divine. He argues that fermenting food is not only a way of preserving it, but also a way of celebrating its diversity and complexity.
The Benefits of Cooking for Ourselves and the Planet
Cooked is not just a book about how to cook, but also why to cook. Pollan makes a compelling case for why cooking is one of the most important things we can do to improve our lives and the world we live in. Here are some of the benefits he outlines:
How cooking connects us to nature, culture, and each other
Cooking is a way of engaging with the natural world, and appreciating its bounty and beauty. By cooking, we become more aware of where our food comes from, how it grows, and what it takes to produce it. We also become more respectful of the plants and animals we eat, and more mindful of our impact on the environment.
Cooking is also a way of engaging with our culture, and honoring its history and diversity. By cooking, we learn about the stories and traditions that shape our cuisine, and how they reflect our values and identity. We also become more curious about other cultures, and more open to their flavors and perspectives.
Cooking is also a way of engaging with each other, and strengthening our bonds and relationships. By cooking, we share our time, skills, and resources with others, and express our care and affection for them. We also create opportunities for conversation, collaboration, and celebration.
How cooking can make us healthier and more sustainable
Cooking is a way of taking charge of our food and health, and avoiding the pitfalls of the industrial food system. By cooking, we can choose what we eat, how we prepare it, and where we get it from. We can also avoid the additives, preservatives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, sugar, salt, fat, and calories that are often found in processed food.
Cooking is also a way of reducing our ecological footprint, and supporting local and organic farmers. By cooking, we can use seasonal ingredients, minimize waste, compost scraps, recycle packaging, conserve energy, and reduce emissions. We can also support farmers who practice sustainable agriculture, respect animal welfare, protect biodiversity, and enhance soil health.
How cooking can be a source of enjoyment and self-reliance
, we can experiment with different ingredients, techniques, flavors, and styles. We can also discover new dishes, cuisines, and cultures. We can also have fun, relax, and enjoy the sensory pleasures of cooking and eating.
Cooking is also a way of developing our skills and confidence, and becoming more self-reliant. By cooking, we can learn how to perform the basic tasks of survival, such as making fire, boiling water, and preserving food. We can also learn how to improvise, adapt, and solve problems. We can also take pride in our accomplishments, and share them with others.
How to Download Cooked by Michael Pollan in Epub Format
If you are interested in reading Cooked by Michael Pollan, you might want to download it in epub format. Epub is a popular and widely supported format for digital books, which offers many advantages over pdf. Here are some of the reasons why you should choose epub over pdf:
What is epub and why is it better than pdf?
Epub stands for electronic publication, and it is a standard format for digital books that can be read on various devices, such as e-readers, tablets, smartphones, and computers. Epub files have the extension .epub, and they can be opened by many applications and software.
Epub is better than pdf for several reasons. First of all, epub is more flexible and adaptable than pdf. Epub files can adjust to different screen sizes, orientations, fonts, and layouts. You can also change the text size, color, brightness, and background according to your preferences. Pdf files, on the other hand, are fixed and rigid.

Kit Kittredge: An American GirlReviewed By David Cornelius
Posted 07/07/08 11:23:56
(Worth A Look)
If you’re the parent of a girl of a certain age, you’re all too familiar with “American Girl.” To the uninitiated, the franchise is a series of dolls, doll accessories, books, videos, magazines, and whatever else can drain a parent’s wallet, all revolving around preteen girls living in various key times in American history. Felicity lives at the dawn of the American Revolution; Addy is a Civil War-era slave; Molly struggles through World War II; etc. While the dolls themselves have become a parental punchline due to their high prices (ninety bucks is the going rate for a single doll - I have yet to meet a fellow parent whose response has not been a suggestion for which body cavity the company can place such overpriced toys), the books themselves do a fine job of getting girls interested in history, and that’s good stuff.After several direct-to-video live-action adventures starring various American Girls, the franchise has finally landed on the big screen, with “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.” Far from being a cash-grab tie-in, director Patricia Rozema and screenwriter Ann Peacock give their adaptation a great deal of heart. “Kit Kittredge” is as sweet and as huggable a movie as its title character, a gal so plucky that she could only be played by Abigail Breslin.
It’s 1934, and Kit lives with mom (Julia Ormond) and dad (Chris O’Donnell) in Cincinnati (if by “Cincinnati” you mean “Toronto,” this Reds fan says as he takes a long, sad sigh). As the film opens, their family is one of the few in their well-to-do corner of the city not yet hit by the Great Depression, but times are tight, and soon not even the Kittredge clan can remain afloat. Kit’s dad leaves to find work in Chicago, while mom opens up the spare rooms to boarders.
That, in turn, opens up the film to a bevy of quirky characters who lend a pleasant charm to the proceedings. There’s Miss Dooley (Jane Krakowsi), the leggy dance instructor; Miss Bond (Joan Cusack), the clumsy librarian; neighborhood friends Mrs. Howard (Glenne Headly) and her son Stirling (Zach Mills), also hit by hard times; and the strange showman Jefferson Berk (Stanley Tucci), a down-on-his-luck magician eager to perform for Kit and her friends. Purses might be empty, but the Kittredge house still looks like a cozy place to be.
There’s also Will (Max Thieriot) and Countee (Willow Smith), two underage hobos eager to work for food; Mrs. Kittredge obliges, and the duo help introduce Kit to the hobo lifestyle, where train hopping may offer easy adventure, but it doesn’t fill one’s belly. Kit offers a gentle understanding of these kids’ plight, as she’s wise enough to realize that with so many struggling, even those that are getting by are only a missed mortgage payment or two away from eating at the local soup kitchen.
When word gets out that hobos are responsible for a chain of robberies from Cincinnati to Dayton and beyond, anyone who’s read a Nancy Drew book or two will realize that a mystery will soon land in Kit’s lap. Sure enough, the third act finds our heroine fighting to prove Will’s innocence when he’s framed for stealing the house’s lockbox. (The original subtitle for the film was “An American Girl Mystery,” taken from a line of more action-oriented books in the franchise.) Kit’s the perfect detective, as she’s an aspiring reporter who faithfully takes notes, which she uses to find the real culprit.
But more than just the simple thrills of junior adventure, “Kit Kittredge” weaves themes of tolerance and charity into the proceedings. Whereas most of the film’s grown-ups look down on the hobos for their dirty boots and unshaven faces, Kit and her friends take the time to meet them, to empathize with them. Where others see bums with their hands out, Kit sees folks in trouble willing to band together to help each other out. Meanwhile, despite her own needs, Mrs. Kittredge is never one to turn away a fellow in need, and by the movie’s heartwarming closing scene, the favor is returned in kind, and then some.
It’s a wonderful lesson, but more wonderful is the fact that the script never forces the message into the story. There’s no stopping for Kit to tell us what she learned from her adventures, no clunky pausing of the action to reinforce the moral.
Let’s turn, finally, to a member of the target audience and my moviegoing companion, my eight-year-old daughter, Grace. She applauded loudly at the end - always a sure sign of her approval - and talked long and loud for quite some time after we left the theater. When pressed for more critic-y commentary, she added that Breslin did a perfect job as Kit, that she loved the happy ending, that she hated how everyone was so mean to the hobos when they were such nice people, and that her favoritest of favorite parts was when Kit talked her mom into adopting a basset hound someone abandoned.So there you have it: a cute dog, feisty kids, and a great big happy ending, everything an American Girl fan would want out of the movie. Come to think of it, that’s enough to please the parents, too.

Attempt to include a core class (java.* or javax.*) in something other
than a core library. It is likely that you have attempted to include
in an application the core library (or a part thereof) from a desktop
virtual machine. This will most assuredly not work. At a minimum, it
jeopardizes the compatibility of your app with future versions of the
platform. It is also often of questionable legality.
If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only
appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine distribution,
as opposed to compiling an application -- then use the
"--core-library" option to suppress this error message.
If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building an
application, then be forewarned that your application will still fail
to build or run, at some point. Please be prepared for angry customers
who find, for example, that your application ceases to function once
they upgrade their operating system. You will be to blame for this
If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a core
package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to repackage
that code. That is, move the classes in question into your own package
namespace. This means that they will never be in conflict with core
system classes. If you find that you cannot do this, then that is an
indication that the path you are on will ultimately lead to pain,
suffering, grief, and lamentation.

Curious George Ether Tshirt
Curious George is the protagonist of a series of popular children's books by the same name, written byHans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey. The books feature a curious brown monkey named George, who is brought from his home in Africa by "The Man with The Yellow Hat" to live with him in a big city.
Around the world, the adventures of Curious George have been translated in many languages, and George takes on names such as "Curioso come George" in Italy, "Peter Pedal" in Denmark, "Nysgjerrige Nils" in Norway, "Nicke Nyfiken" inSweden, "Utelias Vili" in Finland, "Hitomane Kozaru" in Japan, "Choni Ha'Sakran" in Israel and "Jorge el Curioso" in Spanish speaking countries. In the United Kingdom, George was originally called "Zozo", apparently to avoid using the name of the then King George VI for a monkey.
In each of the books, Curious George is identified in the text as a monkey, though in the illustrations he does not correspond exactly to any non-fictional species of monkey (and has more of the characteristics of an ape, especially a chimpanzee, for example in his lack of a tail).


Mastery of even two thousand Kanji is a considerable challenge to the student of written Japanese. While such an endeavor is intimidating to say the least, it is not impossible with patience, perseverance and the right tools. This dictionary will present only the first 996 Kanji introduced in Japan's school system and is intended to be used primarily as a learning aid for drilling Kanji and their associated readings, meanings, etc. However it aims to fulfill two needs:
- To provide a learning guide and tool to aid the student of Japanese in learning Kanji
- To provide a useable reference to intermediate and advanced students of Japanese
How to Use This Dictionary
The following is a description of the search screens and the output screens and the various parts therein. Diagram 1 shows an example of a search screen, Diagram 2 is an example of an output that includes all fields, and Diagram 3 is part of an output that excludes the Meaning and Pinyin fields:
Observe Diagram 1. There are three noteworthy parts:
Field 1: The Search By menu. Switch between the 5 search methods available here. There are further explanations of the search methods on their respective pages.
Field 2: The Input field. This is a text field for searching romaji reading or english meaning, and a drop-down menu for radical, stroke and grade.
Field 3: Output customization options. Here you select which items you wish to be included in the output of your search. It is hoped that the ability to customize the output will aid students of Japanese as they learn Kanji. By removing the Kanji and Compounds and Radicals, for example a student can create an output for a specific character or set of characters that they can echo out in a form that includes only the readings and meanings of the characters, and blank spaces where the Kanji, compounds and radicals would normally be echoed. They can then use this form as a test sheet to "fill in the blanks." Conversely the Kanji, compound and radical fields could be included and the readings or meanings fields could be removed in order to test these. Another useful application, for those students who have interest, would be to remove the radical or stroke count fields in order to drill these.
Diagram 2 shows the output of a search by reading for "inu" with all fields filled:
Field 1: The Kanji field. Pretty straight forward. For an introduction to Kanji, click here.
Field 2: The Stroke Count field. This lists the number of strokes the character is composed of.
Field 3: The Radical field. The radical the Kanji is listed under using the Radical Priority System.
Field 4: The Meaning field. The English equivalent.
Field 5: The Reading field. Onyomi is listed first in Katakana, followed by Kunyomi listed in Hiragana.
Field 6: The Compounds field: This lists various compound words which use this Kanji
Field 7: The Pinyin field: The Mandarin Chinese pronunciation of the Kanji, romanized using Pinyin. By default, this field is not selected because this website assumes most of its visitors will be attempting to learn or find a reference for Japanese. However it has been included for those visitors learning Chinese who may find this feature of use as well. For a description of Pinyin and how to pronounce it click here.
All seven of these fields have the option to be included or not. Simply check the fields you wish to be included before clicking Submit on the search screen. For example, if you wanted to drill the meanings for all Kanji that have a reading of "ka" you would select the readings option in the Search By field, then type "ka" in the Romaji Input field and uncheck the meaning selection below. After clicking submit you would get an output as shown in Diagram 3 below:
You can then echo out this output and use it to drill the meanings for all Kanji with a reading of "ka." You could just as easily do a search by grade and remove the meanings and readings in order to drill them. There are a multitude of variations available to customize the output to meet your needs.

My husband Nick and I met in college. I was studying Art History and in desperate need of a tutor for finance. So, I went into class looking for the perfect person. I sat down right next to Nick. It turns out that I picked the right guy. We never made it to the library, but we have been together ever since. We were married June 8, 2010 at Gundlach Bundschu winery in Sonoma, California. I wore a beautiful vintage inspired Alvina Valenta gown that was the perfect note to the intimate wedding with our closest friends and family.


From rising prices and big companies and monopolies getting stronger; consumers may have trouble consuming digital content like ebooks. Unfortunately, ebook piracy is a known threat to many publishers and authors alike, and loss of revenue is rising. Well, some publishers and authors don’t understand about why public libraries are important for us. Amazon, Scribd, Kobo, and other ebook vendors what we know today don’t always mean a great source of revenue, and that’s what some authors don’t actually understand. However; I am personally preparing my books to be republished and redistributed to public libraries around parts of the world. I only write and publish books that are DRM-free. Why I do this because, I believe DRM implementation is costly, and it may raise costs of writing my books. Before I share my personal experience of publishing books to public libraries; let’s focus on why public libraries are important to us, and why they are tools for you to save money overtime. And if you are an author, we’re going to focus on why choosing to publish to public libraries over selling your ebooks via online ebook vendos is key for you to reduce the burden of piracy and revenue loss.
As my experience of being an author; I wanted to make some money with my work, and I was trying multiples of experiments, and wait for ways for my book to be published. All of that updating, and republishing what I was doing for some while… I can only see why traditional ebook stores can be a problem for me. For this instance; a clever pirate can bypass encryption schemes what stores implement to help prevent theft of intellectual property of other authors and publishers. Well, they don’t always work as planned. Upset authors and publishers often cry over revenue loss, and causing these publishers and authors to go bankrupt as faster than you didn’t know it.

How Reform Will Save the Internet: Two Must-Watch Videos
Two recent videos make a clear cut case for media reform in the digital age, and should be fixtures on the virtual shelf of anyone interested in the issue.
If you're still on the fence about Net Neutrality, watch them.
The first, an April 12 presentation by Harvard Law Professor Larry Lessig, walks us through the history of America's broadband downfall, laying blame at the feet of Bush-era FCC commissioners, who closed rank with companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast to make a series of decisions that undermined users' control of our Internet experience.
The second, an interview that aired Friday between FCC Commissioner Michael Copps and PBS host Bill Moyers, looks to the future of American media and the vital role the "netroots" must play to take back the Internet and keep communications open and small "d" democratic.

Paul Barret Jr. Library
The mission of the Paul Barret Jr. Library is to provide ready and efficient physical and bibliographic access to information consistent with the teaching and research interests of the Rhodes College faculty and the learning needs of Rhodes' students. Hanbury was responsible for the overall planning and design in association with Shepley Bulfinch, who was responsible for the library design features.
Dedicated in 2005, the 136,000-square-foot facility includes administration and information technology office spaces, classrooms, media viewing rooms, group study rooms, a 24-hour lounge and an academic computing and learning center.

To start, I’ll give a little description about what a librarie is. A library is a file that contains multiple object files, which can be used as a single entity in a link phase of a program. It is simply a collection of files of ordinary objects.
Its purpose is to be used by other programs, independent and simultaneously. In other words, a library is a file that the compiler can read, in it you will find instructions for the use of many different methods and functions
There are two kind of libraries in C: statics and dynamics. The static libraries are just collections of object files that are linked to the program during the linkage phase of compilation, and are not relevant at runtime, while the dynamics link when executing.
Thre are two big differences between both:
- Static libraries are included in the executable, while dynamic libraries are external files, so the size of the application (our executable) is greater in the first case than in the second.
- Dynamic libraries are independent files that can be invoked from any executable, so that their functionality can be shared by several executables. This means that only one copy of each library file (DLL) is needed in the System. This characteristic constitutes the main reason for its use.
How to create a library?
To create a static library using GCC we need to compile our library code into an object file so we tell GCC to do this using -c. For this explanation, the object files are goint to be all the files in directory that ends with .c
We are using -c option that is for the compiler doesn’t link the object files yet but instead creates counterpart object (.o) file for each source (.c) file, and we get:
Now that we have the object file(s), we can archive them and make a static library using ar.
This tells ar to create an archive (option c) and to insert the objects, replacing older files where needed (option r) .
Now we have creat our library.
Whenever files are added to a library, including the initial creation of the library , the library needs to be indexed, which is done with the command
ranlib makes a header in the library with the symbols of the object file contents.This helps the compiler to quickly reference symbols. A large library may have thousands of symbols meaning an index can significantly speed up finding references. This step is not strictly necesary.
If we want to see the files in our library we use the next command: ar -t
Or we can use nm tosee the symbols in our library:
Now let us use the static library by invoking it as part of the compilation and linking process when creating a program executable. Incase of gcc we use following flags to create static library:
- -L : Specifies the path to the library. Look in directory for library files.
- . : Represents the current working directory
- -l: Libraryname without lib prefix and extension
- holberton: Is the name of our library. Note that we omitted the “lib” prefix and “.a” extension. The linker attaches these parts back to the name of the library to create a name of a file to look for.
- -o quote: Says “name the executable file my_program”
Finally we run the program, and If everything worked out, the result will be an executable file quote that prints the following line that is contained in the libholberton.a static library:

*In the voice of Michael Bublé*: have yourself a melancholy Christmas, let your pen free-write....
This festive season, step inside the Feelings Library and get whatever it is you're feeling or overthinking, out of your head and onto the page. Writing is one of the most powerful tools for our mental health and it costs us near nothing to do.
What's going on
Whatever is going on for you, come and join us at Feelings Library, an interactive installation at Spitalfields, in partnership with CAUKIN Studio and SKIP Gallery. It is a space where we can come together and reflect, explore and share our feelings.
Designed with connection in mind, it provides an opportunity for us to connect to ourselves and others, in a bid to combat the loneliness we all can and often do feel when we constantly wear the mask of 'doing ok'.
Within the library are books with journal prompts written by our therapists and spaces for you to write. Be in conversation with them through your journaling. Come, offload your worries, share your story, and read other people's stories whilst you're there. At a time where we feel lonelier and more disconnected than ever — stop for a minute and notice how much we have in common. It'll be much less stressful than your Christmas shopping and let's face it, nobody needs another Lush bath bomb gathering dust.
Everyone and every feeling welcome.
We got you.

The main characters in these folktales are quite a mixture: the sun, the moon, stars, mountains, trees and rocks, and also human beings, animals like cows and horses, creatures like birds, snakes, mice, and insects; in other words, all creation could be the main character of a folktale (minwa).
There are several categories of minwa in this website. You can enjoy each minwa in your own way, but here I will briefly explain these categories.
First, ‘Animal Tales’. These tell how human beings can live together with other living creatures and are told by characters like tiny insects or animals. ‘Originating Tales’ tell us about natural phenomena: for example, why salt came to divide life and death.
‘Ogre and Ghost Tales’ feature imaginary monsters like ogres and invisible ghosts as if they existed in the everyday world. Impossible stories like, ‘Marriage between Humans and Non-human Creatures Tales’, give readers the opportunity to use their imagination. The same goes for ‘Giving Birth by Egg and Conceiving by Sunlight Tales’. These are traditional North East Asian traditional myths, but they seem to be somehow possible in the old times.
‘Stepchild Tales’ tell sad stories about stepchildren and their families: however, this type of tale remains popular as myths and folktales in other areas as well. ‘Ghost Tales’ seem to have been popular in the post WW2 era, when people were still very poor - the tales still sound realistic even now. ‘Moral Tales’ often tell about something very unrealistic at first, then show us the right path to learn by. These were tales for children in the time when there were no schools, to pass on the social morals within family and community.
‘Miscellaneous Tales’ contains all the tales which do not fit into any specific category. Among the miscellaneous tales, there are stories such as‘A Flower Blooms in the Sea’, which tells about a dutiful child, and ‘Monkey Lord’, which is known as ‘Fire’s New Year’ in main land Japan. ‘Legend Tales’is a collection of tales about the Miyako islands which are not only categorized as folktales, but also as‘myth’or ‘historical legend’, for example,‘Nakasonetoyomiya’ or ‘Tobitorishu’.
Finally, ‘Comical Tales’ certainly contains plenty of humour, particularly about the time when the Miyako islands were treated as a colony and the people were oppressed: this type of humour was the only way to protest against officialdom.
Among all these themes/categories of tales, the animal tales, where animals behave like human beings, are so numerous it is as if minwa (folktales) are urging human beings to be more sensible as it is not only they who are living on this planet.
Now, are you ready to come on this Minwa journey with us?

Richard III has the reputation for being the meanest uncle in history. Rumors abound that he murdered his nephews, Prince Edward V and Richard of York (The Princes in the Tower). Were the princes really murdered by Richard?
Throughout history, poor Napoleon has suffered many short jokes. The British nicknamed him "Little Boney." His army buddies gave him the not so flattering title of "Little Corporal." But was Napoleon's short stature just a tall tale?

Stephen Bowman’s writings have a precarious cutting edge between fiction and nonfiction. His first book was about priests who disappeared in the jungles of Brazil, victims of government Death Squads. While this book was being reviewed by publishers, his agent asked him to fly to Guyana to investigate a missing California congressman: the rumors of a Reverend Jim Jones religious cult were proven true with a mass suicide/murder of over 900 men, women and children in Jonestown.
For many, “pollution” was a word they first saw in an article by Bowman. And when he wrote about a fictional, modern-day version of the Wounded Knee massacre at Pine Ridge Indian reservation, it was only a little surprising when the story came to life a few weeks later. It became the longest siege in US history.
Bowman’s best-seller, Morning Ran Red, solved a one-hundred-year-old unsolved mass murder. His next book, Operation Monarch, uncovered an international child abuse ring and money-laundering scheme involving children’s charities, government agencies and powerful people world-wide.
Then a terrorist bomb took down Pan Am 103 over Scotland on its way to the United States. For Bowman this was a signal: terrorism was on its way to North America. Bowman had met with ex-CIA director William Colby while researching the child abuse ring, now Colby assisted Bowman in his research on the terrorist threat by opening doors in Washington, D.C. The result was, When the Eagle Screams – America’s Vulnerability to Terrorism, a book that predicted the coming Age of Terrorism, and specifically, the Oklahoma City bomb, the World Trade Center bomb, and, after publication, that the World Trade Center was the most dangerous workplace in America, likely to be hit by hijacked airliners. Bowman’s book predicted almost everything that has happened regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, from 1993 to today.
Upcoming books continue the examination of our world’s issues, including illegal immigration, corporate fraud, gang culture, drug smuggling, and prison reform.
Stephen is also a popular freelance writer.

Rules of the Piki libraries 2023
Welcome to PIKI libraries!
Our libraries are open to everyone. Everyone has access to the collections, services and public areas of the library.
The purpose of these guidelines is to promote order, safety and user comfort in libraries.
PIKI libraries use one shared information system. The library has the right to store the personal identity codes of its customers, their guardians and the responsible persons of community customers. Personal information is only used for the provision of library services.
In accordance with the Personal Data Act, the customer has the right to check their own information stored in the library’s personal data file and request the library to rectify any erroneous information.
Personal information may only be disclosed to parties identified in the privacy statement.
The privacy statement of the data file is available from the libraries and the PIKI online service.
Library card and PIN code
The first library card is free-of-charge and available from any PIKI library. The library card is personal. Each customer may only have one library card in the shared PIKI library system. Library card holders agree to follow the guidelines of PIKI libraries.
The library card is available by showing an identity card that is equipped with a photograph and a personal identity code and giving a valid Finnish postal address. Under 15-year-olds need written consent from their guardian in order to get a library card. If the customer does not have a Finnish personal identity code, the library card is valid for one year at a time.
Communities must appoint a responsible person that is 18 or over in order to get a library card.
The holder of the library card or their guardian is responsible for all the material borrowed with the card, as well as the payment of fees. If a customer loses their borrowing rights, also the customer’s guardian will lose their borrowing rights.
The library card is equipped with a PIN code that is needed when using services that require identification. The PIN code is needed, for example, when logging in to the PIKI online services and using the booking systems, self-service kiosks, self-service libraries and online materials.
In the online service, customers can, for example, update their contact information or the information of their dependant, make reservations and renew their loans.
Changes to names and contact information and missing library cards must immediately be reported to the PIKI library. The customer will not be held liable for any material borrowed with their card after they have reported the card as missing.
Handling library property
Library users must handle the items and other library property with caution. The items must be returned or renewed on or before the due date, within the library’s opening hours or online by 12:00 midnight. In general, loans can be renewed five times. If the library has a return chute, the customer may use it to return their loans on their own responsibility. Items returned via the return chute are registered on the following working day.
The library may restrict the number of items lent to the customer. The library follows the statutory age limits concerning the lending and use of certain visual recordings, console and PC games. If a recording borrowed from the library damages the customer’s equipment, the library is not liable for damages.
The loan period is 1–28 days. If an item is late, the library will send the first overdue notice 7 days after the due date, followed by the second notice after 21 days and third notice after 35 days. If the item is reserved, the first overdue notice will be sent immediately after the due date.
Items returned after the due date will be subject to a penalty fee. Any lost loans and unpaid penalty fees may be forwarded to invoicing or a collection agency.
Fees and replacing items
Using, borrowing and reserving items in the library’s own collections are free of charge, as are guidance and information provided by libraries. No overdue penalties are collected on items in the children’s and youth collections. The penalty and transportation fees do not apply to customers of the library’s home service.
Charges are collected for the following:
- items renewed or returned after the due date (penalty fee)
- overdue notices, invoices and collection
- uncollected reservations
- regional reservation (the item is transported from another PIKI municipality)
- interlibrary loans (the item is ordered from a library that is not part of the PIKI system)
- damaged, lost or unreturned items and other library property
- replacing a lost or damaged library card with a new one
The customer can choose to receive due date reminders via e-mail. The due date reminder is an extra service that helps the customers to keep track of their loans. However, the customer must always pay the overdue fine, even if they haven’t received the reminder. The fees are collected also in cases where renewal was not possible due to technical errors.
The customer must replace damaged items with new, similar items or pay the price determined by the library. Due to item-specific copyright fees, certain items — such as films, radio plays and computer software — cannot be replaced with corresponding items.
The fees can be paid at any PIKI library. Some municipalities accept online payments. These are available by logging in to the PIKI online service. Library fees are non-refundable.
The library may forward the fees to recovery proceedings without a court ruling or decision.
Losing one’s borrowing rights
If the customer does not return their loans or pay their fees, the customer will lose their borrowing rights in all PIKI libraries until they have returned or replaced the items or paid the outstanding fees. The customer loses their borrowing rights when the outstanding fees exceed a certain limit in EUR (see the Appendix).
Customers who have lost their borrowing rights may continue to visit the library and use the library’s collections and equipment.
Losing one’s rights to use the library
Public libraries are governed by the Finnish Public Order Act. The Public Order Act applies to disturbing operations or public safety in the library. If a library user repeatedly causes notable disturbance to the library’s operations, behaves in a disturbing or threatening manner, endangers safety or damages library property, the user’s rights to use the library can be suspended for a maximum of 30 days. The municipality must give the person a chance to be heard before suspending the rights.
Suspending a user’s library use privileges requires an administrative decision, and the user may claim a rectification to the decision, in accordance with the Municipalities Act. Each PIKI municipality appoints the municipal officer that makes the decisions on suspending library use privileges. If a customer’s rights to use the library have been suspended, the customer may not visit the library in question.
In addition to these guidelines that apply to all PIKI libraries, each library may have its own guidelines. These guidelines are effective in all the libraries in the PIKI library system.
These guidelines have been approved by the leading office holder or an executive committee of a PIKI library, and they are valid from 1 January 2018 until further notice.


AGE OF ANGER
A History of the Present
By Pankaj Mishra
Across the world, a spirit of anarchy is in bloom — an aimless desire to smash the liberal order, with only the distant, inchoate hope that a better world will emerge from the wreckage. That spirit apparently motivated many Trump voters, who didn’t mind that their tribune spoke in clownish generalities, possessed no relevant experience and exhibited an itchy trigger finger. …
This book presents itself as a “history of the present.” His premise is that broad swaths of the globe are retracing the past, reliving the same traumas and violent dislocations that accompanied Europe’s transition to modernity in the 18th and 19th centuries. CONT.

TED TALKS – YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
TED is a nonprofit foundation, devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. The goal of the foundation is to foster the spread of great ideas. The following book is sets of talks from speakers dealing with food and sustainability. It is broken up into 3 talks and the aim is to focus on effective layout and illustration to demonstrate the message of each talk. The 3 sections fall under 'Sustainable Seafood', 'Teach Every Child About Food' and 'Why Not Eat Insects?'.


Data.gov.au last week added an additional 2,503 datasets to its already extensive archives, including around 1,500 datasets consisting location information from across Australia.
The new datasets were added in collaboration with Geoscience Australia and the Spatial Policy Branch in the Department of Communications. The data is hosted by Geoscience Australia and includes current and historical data ranging from full web services to old scientific manuals.
The location information, which forms the largest part of the new collection, breaks Australia up into a series of location tiles, and each tile has a series of data and metadata associated with it. The spatial coverage metadata will allow users to easily browse data by location.
To see datasets that relate to your location, including from the new Geoscience Australia data series, you can select an area with the map tool at the bottom of the left hand sidebar from the datasets page.
Pia Waugh, on the Department of Finance blog, wrote this about the new data:
“The Geoscience Australia broader public collection includes almost 20,000 sources but most of these do not include raw machine readable datasets so we have not included them on data.gov.au. You can find the other 17,500 or so resources at the GeoScience Australia Metadata Gateway, including documents such as old scanned manuals, scanned images of maps, hardcopy resources, and historic, but still useful, information sources. Many of the resources are freely available for download under Creative Commons BY licences. Some have an associated charge which is generally where the data is only available in an offline format and there is a cost to distribute it to you. We have included an index dataset of all 20,000 Geoscience Australia data and non-data resources here to assist in discoverability.”
You can find the new data published under the Geoscience Australia organisation on data.gov.au.
For more information, you can find Pia’s original post at the Department of Finance blog.
