In his novels, explored how few the depths of human nature and portrayed with singular strokes of the middle class, while not hide their political commitment to leftist movements. At patrick kelly you will find additional information. It also reminds us that Orlando was called Mario Hamlet Benedetti and Brenno Hardy was born on September 14, 1920 in Paso de los Toros, Uruguay, in a family of Italian origin, a chemist and winemaker father and mother had not completed primary school. He lived a childhood and adolescence marked by economic difficulties, moves and irregular schooling, which included passing through a severe German school. After four years, the family moved to Montevideo, the city that never stopped writing Benedetti, if I lived in other countries. At age 14 he began to work selling automotive parts and then was stenographer, a bookseller and rugs, a public employee, for five years and a real estate agent for 15 years. His life was linked to Buenos Aires several times. Between 1938 and 1941, lived in this city, where he worked as a stenographer in an editorial and in which Piazza San Martin, where he went regularly to read, decided to become a writer. His first book of poems was the eve indelible, published in 1945.
Back in Montevideo, began his journalistic career. Marginalia magazine directed and participated in number-key publication of the “generation of ’45” and between 1954 and 1960 took three times as literary director of March, the most influential weekly political and cultural life of Uruguay, which closed in 1974 . Office Poems (1956) marked his first public impact in poetry began in Uruguay and the growing popularity of his work. Then began to shape what would become his trademark: its simple form, colloquial, direct, unequivocal Montevideo taste, but at the same time, its universal themes, his search of complicity with the reader. Only since 1969, Benedetti could live in journalism and his books. The Cuban revolution, ten years before, had deeply influenced his career. Made several trips to that country, which was also one of the destinations of his exile and worked at the Casa de las Americas, an influential Cuban cultural institution. Among his highlights, Montevideo (1959), Forgotten Memories (1988) and The Future of my past (2003) were some of his volumes of short stories.
Among his novels stand out thanks for the Fire (1965), Spring with a broken corner (1982), the coffee grounds (1992) and Staging (1996). His poetic work is extensive: an inventory (1963), two (1994) and three (2003), Burning the ships (1969), Wind in Exile (1981), The Solitudes of Babel (1991), The World I breathe (2001 ), Memory and Hope (2004), who does not sing Songs (2006) are among his most celebrated books. The truth, which like all great, especially those that stand out for having fully identified with its values, mission, commitment to share their wisdom, tenderness in the lyrics, humility, his departure invites us to recognize their work, fulfilling its mission. Not surprisingly, therefore, and the Uruguayan poet Rafael Courtuasi recalled words she said Benedetti, to describe his personality: “I have no shame in being sensitive.” And said: “Don Mario is far from the envy and went elsewhere. The cries a loss because a friend was crying, but at the same time another is being born Benedetti.”

Juliet and Zulu are both Master Flight Instructors. They will guide you through this book which is an essential reference summarizing the basic knowledge used by Private Pilots to fly under visual flight rules (VFR) worldwide. It is written not only for Private Pilots, Sport Pilots and flight students, but for everyone who is interested in learning about flying an airplane. It also serves as a convenient reference for licensed pilots who need to stay current.
Juliet and Zulu have designed this Quick Reference to explain complicated concepts in a logical way which will make learning straightforward and as easy as possible for the reader who is encountering the material for the first time. Concepts which are thoroughly understood, rather than just memorized, are much easier to apply in practice and to retain.
The light hearted, jargon free, approach is intended to make the knowledge less formidable and to make the presentation attractive to younger readers and to the non pilot.
The material is condensed and organized so that a substantial amount of information is contained in just a few pages making it easy to find and review specific items. For more detail and much more extensive explanation, the reader is referred to the several excellent and very well written Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications covering similar topics. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has excellent instructional material on its website www.AOPA.org.
The book is formatted in ePub which works on the Apple iPad and on almost every other tablet reader. It is also available in the PDF format for use on a computer and on most tablet readers. You can purchase the ePub version from the Apple iBookstore, and either the ePub or the PDF from most major online bookstores, or directly from me. Because the book contains many color graphics, it does not display well on cellphones or smaller reading devices.
Either version can be downloaded for US $5.99 (or the equivalent in other currencies) by clicking on the appropriate text or link in one of the two boxes shown at the bottom left of this page.
A print version is in process and will be available through this website when it is published.

Welcome to Bryant Library!
A Message from the Librarian
Welcome to the 2021-22 school year. I’m excited to see both familiar and new faces at Bryant and look forward to serving you in my 12th year as teacher-librarian.
While we all lament the necessity of staying home as much as we can, remember the transformative power of books. In this compelling article, the World Literacy Foundation underscores how reading not only intellectually engages us, but contributes to our overall well-beings. I urge every Bryant family to take advantage of our Curbside Library Service.
I look forward to sharing lots of new titles with our readers. A few years ago, during my first visit to Paris, I made frequent stops at famous American bookstore, Shakespeare and Company. Of course, any bookstore with a friendly cat immediately wins me over. Also compelling, their sign reading: “Open door, open book, open mind, open heart.”
As we respond to events happening in our school, community, and world, I’m reminded of how much reading contributes to our empathy and capacity to respond to each other with compassion and kindness. So, I’ve borrowed this wonderful motto, as we open our minds and hearts together.
Please contact me with questions or suggestions. Stay healthy in every way!

Authenticity and Tradition
the history of the cheese
Sheep milk cheese
produced in the South of the Alentejo
has a millennial history. Archaeological studies show that a civilisation that practiced cattle-raising was probably born in the Guadiana valley and surrounding lands.
The main activity was probably pastoralism, developed in transhumance movements between these Southern lands and the Serra da Estrela mountain range, in search of better pastures for the flocks.
Many traces of this long history have been found over time. We also find many historical references to the role and significance of cheese throughout history.
The production of cheese in Portugal and even the very origin of the Portuguese word for cheese - queijo - are believed to come from the Romans, at the time of the expansion of their domain to what is now Portugal. The creation of large agricultural units - the villae - in the region was probably the ideal context for this production.
The importance of pastoralism and cheesemaking in the region is documented throughout the entire Middle Age and, later, cheese is even used as currency to pay wages and leases and in gifts for kings.

|N1: "Internet y la Economía"|
Turno Noche (19 a 22 horas)
Davide Gualerzi, Universidad de Padua, Italia
Deben entregarlo mandándolo por mail al profesor: a la cuenta davide(at)dc.uba.ar hasta las 13 hrs del sábado 29 de julio.
Objetivos del Curso:
The course focuses on the relationship between Economics and the Internet, building on the interaction of computational problems arising from the study of networks and the themes and tools of economic analysis. The development of networks, and the Internet in particular, affects some of the basic propositions of economic analysis, but also the economic structure at large, as the experience of the 1990s indicates. On the other hand, there is a growing interest for the tools of economic analysis, most notably game theory, for the study of networks.
This relationship is examined starting from the basics of economic analysis, considering then the development of Internet as a phenomenon at the technological frontier of the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) sector and going on with the economics of networks, where the theory and the methods of economics face the development of networks.
Many of the problems concerning the relationship of Economics and the Internet can be discussed focusing on E-commerce. The problems that stand in the way of a further development of a virtual market place highlight questions that have a computationaltechnological aspect, and one concerning the organization and indeed the economics of this new activity.
The third theme of the course is the economic impact the Internet, as part of a more general focus on the effects of networks and what is at times called net-economy. This is discussed in relation to the phenomena emerging in the 1990s in the Us economy in conjunction with an expansion that has been called by many exceptional. In particular, the end of 1990s suggest the emergence of an Internet Scenario for economic development (Gualerzi, 2001) that links the technological frontier of ICT development to changes in the productive and consumption activities whose long-term consequences and prospects will be evaluated.

How to Use MLA Citation Machine
The mla citation machine is an online tool that creates citations inMLA and APA, and Chicago style. It also checks your paper for punctuation and grammar errors, and plagiarism.
The MLA style was designed by Modern Language Association to supply a consistent format for citing sources utilized in academic writing.

Unlike other citation styles, MLA emphasizes brevity and clarity simply by using a straightforward two-part documentation system: parenthetical citations from the text that happens to be keyed to an alphabetically ordered works cited page. The works cited page lists a full corresponding reference for each citation inside the text, such as authors surname and the page number through which the quotation or paraphrase was taken.
MLA is considered the most traditionally used referencing style across the world, and this is a common requirement for most academic writing, be it for a paper inside college course or for a masters thesis. It really is especially useful when working with many resources, as a good properly cited paper would be easier to read and reference.
On top of that, a well-cited paper are definitely more likely to receive high marks for logical organization and cohesiveness. It is going to be more likely to jump out amongst competing papers and developed into a top candidate for publication.

As an illustration, the Mendeley Cite plug-in are generally set up on Microsoft Word or Apple Pages to add citations automatically after you insert a quotation or image from an online source to your document. The plug-in also means that you can save your valuable references as the bibliography that one could access later.
Should the book or article youre citing is part of an edited collection, its important to note the edition and version youre referring to. Even minor differences, similar to paperback versus hardcover, might have an effect on the page publication and numbers dates youre citing.
In avoiding confusing the future prospect, its important to utilize a citation machine that could correctly identify the original source youre citing. You can always manually input the information needed by putting it in the corresponding boxes if the machine isnt able to

|History of Hymn
“O Love That Will Not Let Me Go” written on the evening of Matheson’s sister’s marriage. His whole family had went to the wedding and had left him alone. And he writes of something which had happened to him that caused immense mental anguish. There is a story of how years before, he had been engaged until his fiancé learned that he was going blind, and there was nothing the doctors could do, and she told him that she could not go through life with a blind man. He went blind while studying for the ministry, and his sister had been the one who had taken care of him all these years, but now she is gone. He had been a brilliant student, some say that if he hadn’t went blind he could have been the leader of the church of Scotland in his day. He had written a learned work on German theology and then wrote “The Growth of The Spirit of Christianity.” Louis Benson says this was a brilliant book but with some major mistakes in it. When some critics pointed out the mistakes and charged him with being an inaccurate student he was heartbroken. One of his friends wrote, “When he saw that for the purposes of scholarship his blindness was a fatal hindrance, he withdrew from the field – not without pangs, but finally.” So he turned to the pastoral ministry, and the Lord has richly blessed him, finally bringing him to a church where he regularly preached to over 1500 people each week. But he was only able to do this because of the care of his sister and now she was married and gone. Who will care for him, a blind man? Not only that, but his sister’s marriage brought fresh reminder of his own heartbreak, over his fiancé’s refusal to “go through life with a blind man.” It is the midst of this circumstance and intense sadness that the Lord gives him this hymn – written he says in 5 minutes!


Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev , also referred to as Serge, (March 31, 1872 – August 19, 1929) was a Russian art critic, patron, ballet impresario and founder of the Ballets Russes from which many famous dancers and choreographers would later arise.Diaghilev staged Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty in London in 1921; it was a production of remarkable magnificence both in settings and costumes, but despite being well received by the public it was a financial disaster for Diaghilev and Oswald Stoll, the theatre-owner, who had backed it. The first cast included the legendary ballerina Olga Spessivtseva. Diaghilev insisted on calling the ballet The Sleeping Princess.
When asked why, he quipped, “Because I have no beauties!” The later years of the Ballets Russes were often considered too “intellectual”, too “stylish” and seldom had the unconditional success of the first few seasons, although younger choreographers like George Balanchine hit their stride with the Ballet Russes.
The end of the 19th century brought a development in the handling of tonality, harmony, rhythm and meter towards more freedom. Until that time, rigid harmonic schemes had forced rhythmic patterns to stay fairly uncomplicated. Around the turn of the century, however, harmonic and metric devices became either more rigid, or much more unpredictable, and each approach had a liberating effect on rhythm, which also affected ballet. Diaghilev was a pioneer in adapting these new musical styles to modern ballet. When Ravel used a 5/4 time in the final part of his ballet Daphnis and Chloe (1912), dancers of the Ballets Russes sang Ser-ge-dia-ghi-lev during rehearsals to keep the correct rhythm.
Members of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes later went on to found ballet traditions in the United States (George Balanchine) and England (Ninette de Valois and Marie Rambert). Ballet master Serge Lifarwent on a technical revival at the Paris Opera Ballet, enhanced by Claude Bessy and Rudolf Nureyev in the 1980s. Lifar is credited for saving many Jewish and other minority dancers from the Naziconcentration camps during World War II.

The authors of a tell-all book about Sarah Palin said that Joe McGinniss, the author of a rival book on Ms. Palin, leaked an early copy of their manuscript last week and had sabotaged their ability to sell it.
Frank Bailey, Ken Morris and Jeanne Devon, the authors of “In Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin,” posted a cease-and-desist order addressed to Mr. McGinniss on the Mudflats blog.
In a letter from their lawyer, the authors said they “believe your actions were done with the single intent of destroying the marketability of the work. It is no secret that you are writing your own ‘tell-all’ book about Sarah Palin.” It added: “This matter appears to be no more than that of a jealous author sabotaging a competitor via unlawful and unscrupulous means.”
The book paints a withering portrait of Mr. Palin and is being shopped to publishers. Mr. Bailey is represented by the Carol Mann Agency in Manhattan. A message left on Mr. McGinniss’s cellphone was not immediately returned.
Mr. Morris said on Tuesday morning that the manuscript was leaked illegally and that the authors still intended to get the book published.
The contents of the 456-page manuscript were first reported by The Anchorage Daily News, which said it received a copy from Mr. McGinniss. The book draws on more than 60,000 e-mails, many of which portray Ms. Palin as a bored governor who was obsessed with her national image.
Mr. McGinniss briefly lived next door to the Palin family last summer when researching his book about her. The Palins built a 14-foot-high fence to block Mr. McGinniss’s view of their property.
Another warts-and-all book about Ms. Palin is expected to be published this summer. “The Lies of Sarah Palin,” by Geoffrey Dunn, an investigative reporter, is scheduled for publication by St. Martin’s Press in June.
Mr. McGinniss’s book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin,” is scheduled to be released by Broadway Books, an imprint of Random House, in September.

Much to the surprise of some of us, Cornell has had a long tradition of conservatism. Both Ezra Cornell and A.D. White were Republican Senators in New York and the University has been associated with some prominent names in conservative thought and politics. But this history has been hitherto undocumented and this series of articles shall be an attempt to rediscover our traditions and look back at our past.
It all began last month when I retrieved some editions of the Conservative humor journal “The Pink Elephant” dating back to 1969 from Carl A. Kroch Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections. A group called “Young Republicans of the Big Red” published the journal. These editions show that even in those days, people were shielding free speech, academic freedom and intellectual diversity on campus with characteristic wit and creativity. It was the culmination of these efforts that was reflected in the foundation of the Cornell Review in 1984. While we may not agree with everything that was said then or even with the manner in which opinions were articulated, some of our roots can be traced back to that publication.
The humor is unmistakable. Liberals are shown burning the effigies of Reagan long before he ran for President, claiming to speak on the behalf of half of mankind, and demanding disproportionately severe punishments. Some of these trends continue to this date.
But at the same time, in a discovery that might lead us to revisit our perception of the long-standing leftist bias on campus, these editions leave no doubt as to what it has meant to defend liberty at Cornell. An aversion to institutional conformism, belief in constitutional freedom, skepticism towards radical change and faith in the core principles of limited and sensible government run through the pages of the journal best known for its strong reaction to the Willard Straight Takeover of 1969. The foundations were strong but the magazine did not last long. Its staff graduated and it was discontinued after a year.
Besides campus activism, a more dynamic intellectual circle had come up at the Telluride House, a branch of the Telluride Association founded in 1911. Paul Wolfowitz and Francis Fukuyama were undergraduate residents of the House then. Both of these men studied under the philosopher Allan Bloom who served as a faculty mentor of the Telluride House. The tradition continues to this date even though the House has lost its conservative touch.
But it seems that between 1969 and 1984, conservatives on campus did not have a well-defined medium to address their views to the entire campus community. There were occasional political columns in the Sun and some of them took a right stance on national and campus events but the space for the expression of independent opinions was created with the foundation of The Cornell Review.


Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar
Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar is an Ophthalmologist by profession. From his early childhood he had an inquisitive and scientific attitude and made many innovative scientific models for which he received first prize and certificate from eminent scientist Sri Satyen Bose. In 1995 Dr. Sarkar established his own advanced eye hospital, Salt Lake Eye Foundation, which is one of the most renowned and well-equipped eye care center in Eastern India.
Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar is an ardent lover of Rabindranath Tagore. Till eighth decade of last century, modern gadgets like TV, Computer, Internet, and Mobile were unknown. Dr. Sarkar started collecting LP, Audio Cassatas and CD of Rabindra Sangeet of renowned artistes from various sources. In 1994 after purchasing his first computer he started digital conversion of the Rabindra Sangeet from his old collections. At that same time, in spite of his busy schedule as an Eye Surgeon, Dr. Sarkar started extensive research on Tagore and his works.
Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar planned to compile all Rabindra Sangeet from his digital library with other information regarding the songs, in a software to share with everybody to browse and enjoy any Rabindra Sangeet within a moment.
In 2005 Dr. Sarkar developed his dream project, a unique Interactive Software title Gitabitan Archive. In 2006 Gitabitan Archive was released jointly with SAREGAMA, at Bangla Academy by Legend Smt. Suchitra Mitra and Sri Dwijen Mukhopadhyay.
Soon after release Gitabitan Archive was highly appreciated by all, as well as by every print and electronic media as a goldmine of Tagore sings.
In the year 2012 Dr. Sarkar released another edited and more user-friendly version of Gitabitan Archive. Till date more than twenty five thousands of Gitabitan Archive are being used by people, both India and Abroad.
The tremendous honor and success of Gitabitan Archive encouraged Dr. Sarkar to work with the poems of Rabindranath Tagore. Dr. Sarkar believed that Tagore poems are neglected or not recognized by people compared to his songs. Most of the beautiful poems have remained untouched by most of people. After 5 years extensive research and labor Dr. Sarkar compiled another gem of Tagore poems in an Interactive Software Rabindra Kobita Archive. Rabindra Kobita Archive was released at Rabindra Sadan Auditorium on 28th August 2018 by eminent poet Sri Sankha Ghosh and others. This compilation has been also appreciated by all an important and pioneer work on Tagore poems.
Another father in the cap of Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar is his recently published book named Gitabitan Tathyabhandar. This is really an Encyclopedia of Rabindra Sangeet. All information about every Rabindra Sangeet can be gathered from this book at a glance. This 874 pages book has been published from Signet press of Ananda Publishers. In his blessings Poet Sri Sankha Ghosh stared as ‘আমাদের নিরন্তর রবীন্দ্রচর্চার জগতে এটি একটি জরুরি কাজ হিসাবে গণ্য হবে বলে বিশ্বাস করি’।
Earlier in 2009 Dr. Sarkar wrote another book Chokher Katha which was also published from Ananda Publishers. This book is basically a handbook of general eye problems and awareness from various eye diseases.
Apart from printed books Dr. Sarkar regularly writes article in many health magazines regarding day to day eye ailments to aware people. In his eye clinic Dr. Sarkar arranges workshops and other activated for the benefit of his patients.
Dr. Sarkar has written four e-Books available at Amazon Kindle. These are
Song Offerings with Bengali Lyrics
Handbook of Spectacles
101 Questions of Cataract Surgery
46 Rabindra Sangeet Translated by Tagore
Dr. Purnendu Bikash Sarkar is very active in social media like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter etc. He believes, in this digital world, social media is the perfect platform to share idea and other information with others.
Dr. Sarkar’s wife Mrs. Barnali Sarkar is an elocutionist as well as a perfect house wife. She is the main inspiration and support in all activates of Dr. Sarkar. In spite of her regular cultural works, TV and radio programme, elocution class etc Barnali never neglects her family. She can wonderfully balance between her carrier and family.

The History of St. Benedict Catholic Church
From Inception to Restoration
The pastoral council of St. Benedict Catholic Church hired me to write the history of their parish in 2017. The book, Pioneering Spirit, was completed in 2019 and released in February 2020. Here is an excerpt from the preface:
So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
— St. Paul to the Ephesians, 2: 19 – 22
This history was written to commemorate the authentic and rather auspicious restoration of St. Benedict Catholic Church. In the 1870s, Greensboro was a new frontier for Catholics who were moving to the city. Not only was it difficult to practice the faith without a church building, Catholicism was wholly unfamiliar and often unwelcome in the Protestant South. However, through the sacrifice and perseverance of the city’s first Catholics and traveling Benedictine monks, a church was built and a vibrant Catholic community was born.
As the Catholic mother church of Greensboro, St. Benedict has nurtured that community for more than a century, crossing racial boundaries during its early years at the behest of its wealthy benefactress turned saint. Later, the parish became home to the Daughters of Charity, the source of the city’s blossoming Marian devotion, a seedbed for religious vocations, and a source of spiritual consolation and fortification to servicemen entering the Second World War. The church has long been known for its charity toward the city’s poor and anyone seeking God and authentic Catholic Christianity.
The ingenuity, faith, and love of those pioneering Catholics have lived on in the ensuing generations of parishioners. These virtues manifested themselves in a monumental way in 2017 as pastor Father James Duc Duong, Tom Garcia, and many others united to restore the church themselves. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the watchful eye of the parish’s patron saint, the restoration retained the holiness steeping within the church since its construction and reclaimed the interior’s original beauty. Its renewed majesty is a visual cue for a deeper reality: The Spirit is indeed at home here, beckoning God’s people into a closer relationship with their loving Creator.

Matthias Michael Beckmann ranks as a pioneer of the cello: playing a unique 5-stringed cello with a descant E string and a range of five octaves, he is the first musician to perform the entire cello repertoire from Bach to Gulda on a 5-stringed instrument.
He is a founder-member of the SALZBURG MOZART QUARTET, with which he has performed worldwide for many years. CD recordings document the Quartet's successful career.
As a soloist, Matthias Michael Beckmann is best known for his rendering of works by Haydn, Boccherini, Vivaldi, Dvořák and Gulda, and since 2007 also for premièring works for 5-stringed cello.
His latest CD recordings of the six cello suites and the sonatas for viola da gamba by J. S. Bach have been acclaimed by critics and public alike.
|J.S.Bach - 6 Cello-Suiten
The cellist plays the six suites on a unique five-stringed cello. The high notes, radiant yet mellow, that he coaxes from his fifth string are truly breathtaking ..." Drehpunkt Kultur / H.Klappacher


In the 1st century CE, the appearance of the codex marked nothing less than a revolution in Rome, as it made the use of the scroll gradually obsolete.
The world is a huge book, observed the mystical philosopher Ibn Arabi in the 12th century. In the West it was also during the 12th century that books started to be divided into chapters, with a logical sequence and an overall plan. But beyond its contents, texts and images, the book presents a material form peculiar unto it. It is probably and above all this material form that explains its lasting success. The book came about from the fold, which enables it to stay upright, and be opened and closed. The fold divides spaces without separating them, at once apart and together, face to face, front and back, outside and inside, all brought together in one and the same volume. Otherwise put, the book makes it possible to think about the continuous in discontinuity, and the discontinuous and continuity.
With the general upsurge of electronics, since the screen has been competing with the realm of paper, and despite all the various fears expressed, the bookthat perceptible objectis holding its own.
As a supreme cultural object, the book introduces into our thinking and our behaviour a special relation to time, the body, truth and the world which it contains and reveals. It thus contrasts with the computer which, without beginning or end, broadcasts truths which are many and varied, temporary, and constantly unfulfilled. Its organic body, made of hide and paper, glue, ink and thread, introduces a physical, intimate relation which no electronic object will ever be able to offer. Devouring a book is not just a metaphor and the vocabulary of the book often reveals its kinship with the human body, conjuring up the head, the skin, the back, and the nerves It is not surprising, nowadays, that a great many artists have developed a deep interest in the book and its material form, transforming it, manipulating it, and appropriating it with their various forms of inspiration.
Opposite the book, and with it : the chair.
As for the book, there is no dearth of words underscoring the intimate relation between the chair and the human body and the cultural context which it is part of. The chair has referred to symbolic practices ever since humanity became sedentarized. Historically associated with power, it has acted as a throne since Antiquity, though this has not barred it from other uses. Its material and symbolic hierarchies can be found in every period in civil and domestic life, where armchairs, chairs, benches and stools earmark the rank of their users and their specific functions. Like the book, the chair has been a source of inspiration and creation for many artists, while craftsmen and designers have produced it in a thousand and one ways.
An exhibition bringing together books and chairs art objects
Books and chairs are essential objects of mediation between people. In the spirit of the Fondation Boghossian, the term objects of dialogue springs readily to mind! Together, they extend human capacities for communication in space and time.
By proposing this exhibition which includes almost 200 books and chairs created by artists hailing from different cultures, the public is invited to react to these symbolic reflections and meanings.
But how are we to exhibit books which cannot be read, and chairs which cannot be sat upon ? The chair is always seated, declared the Surrealist poet Achille Chavée. The public is now invited on an interactive circuit where people can read and rest during their visit.
At times solemn and moving, at others droll and unexpected, the artwork-objects brought together for this exhibition at the Villa Empain form a surprising ensemble. Here, between two chairs, there is always a book, a link, a sense of wonder, and an invitation to dialogue.
Most of the works on view in this exhibition come from a private Belgian collection, which in itself forms nothing less than a living body, a world in motion where the freest and most diversified imagination reigns.


Do you remember when you first read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis? Many people, like me, trace their love of fantasy fiction back to that moment. As I gobbled up each of the seven books of the Chronicles of Narnia series, I entered a world of knights, chivalry, valor, magic and wonder — that awakened in me a fresh wonder at the divine influence in all of life.
As I went on to other fantasy tales, largely by Christian authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and Stephen Lawhead, I encountered more intricate worlds and elaborate tales than what I found in Narnia. But the overt symbolism in the first Narnian tale, hinted at so much more beneath the surface of the Narnia tales. Reading Lewis’ space trilogy I once again encountered symbolism that I couldn’t quite grasp, but that was alluring and powerful nonetheless.
So a few years ago, when I learned of a new book by Michael Ward entitled Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis, I was captivated and just had to get it. That scholarly tome, whose hardback edition boasted 347 pages and almost 60 pages of endnotes, was a delight to work through. Bit by bit, Ward shared the thrill of his discovery — the long sought after, unifying key to the Narnia stories. It was a bit of a chore to go through all the scholarly citations, but along the way I learned a great deal about all of Lewis’ works, not just the Narnian chronicles.
Now, however, the fruit of Ward’s scholarly research is available for a wider, general market audience. Based on an earlier documentary/DVD, Tyndale House has published an accessible paperback entitled The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens.
I was able to pick up this smaller book from Tyndale. It’s only 191 pages with an easy to read font. To be sure, some of the finer points from Planet Narnia don’t find their way into the condensed edition. Still, one will find all the joy (and significance) of Ward’s discovery, a fascinating explanation of the pre-Copernican planetary model, and a detailed exposition of each Narnian chronicle according to the new insights gained from Ward’s study. The interested reader could certainly move on from The Narnia Code to Planet Narnia if he or she so chose, but most will be satisfied by the tale as told in the smaller work.
I don’t want to ruin the book by explaining in detail all of Ward’s discoveries. I will just note that he finds a planetary connection between Lewis the scholar’s appreciation for the pre-Copernican view of the planets as influencing mankind in various ways, and Lewis the author’s intricate method of creating a unique atmosphere that permeates each of his seven Narnian tales.
I can say this, however, you will be convinced by Ward’s discovery. And it will give new life to the Chronicles of Narnia. You’ll never read them the same way again. And Christ’s glory will be seen anew in all its wonder, illuminated in many small yet wonderful ways by Lewis’ intricate crafting of these wildly popular stories.
Before I close, let me recommend you see a short video clip of Michael Ward explaining his vision for The Narnia Code. I highly recommend the work. You can pick up a copy at Amazon with any Christmas money you’re itching to spend.
An expanded version of this review, with additional content and resources, will soon be available at CrossFocusedReviews.com.

The great thing about the concept behind the Arduinos is that in many cases you can benefit from the work of others.
It does not matter which sensor you read or which actuator you want to drive: This has certainly someone else done before you. Most of the time, these people have written libraries that make it easier for you to work with the sensors/actuators. Often these libraries were then published as an open source project.
So it happens that you can actually find libraries for almost any hardware that you can connect to the Arduino.
These then only have to be integrated into the ArduinoIDE and you're ready to go.
How to add libraries in ArduinoIDE is explained in the following article.
Hints for our lovely english readers: Basically, many of the articles on Nerdiy.de are translations from the original german articles. Therefore, it may happen here and there that some illustrations are not available in english and that some translations are weird/strange/full of mistakes or generally totaly wrong. So if you find some obvious (or also not obvious) mistakes don't hesitate to leave us a hint about that in the comment section.
Also please don't get confused, that instead of a "dot" often a "comma" is used as decimal separator. 🙂
I know the following hints are always a bit annoying and seem unnecessary. But unfortunately, many people who knew it "better" from carelessness lost their eyes, fingers or other things or hurt themselves. In comparison, a loss of data is almost not worth mentioning, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Even the coolest project is worth no injury or other annoyance. https://www.nerdiy.de/en/sicherheitshinweise/

Before you start, you should have downloaded and installed the ArduinoIDE.
How to do that I described in the following article:
Downloads / Uploads – How the data comes from the internet and disappears again
Install programs - an example
Basics of navigation in Windows Explorer
General tips for the ArduinoIDE can be found in the article ArduinoIDE Tips and Tricks
Automatic installation via the Arduino IDE
The automatic installation of a library is the easy way to install an Arduino library. Unfortunately, this is not possible with all libraries. Nevertheless, it is easiest to always check the automatic installation option first. If the library is not found, you can still install it manually. More on that later.
For automatic installation, you have to switch to the ArduinoIDE.
To install a click on "Install" and the selected library will get installed.
Manual installation via Windows Explorer
The manual installation of a library is always necessary if the library was not found during the automatic installation. Even if you want to install several libraries, it is often easier / faster to install them "in one go" as this is done with a simple copy operation.
No matter where the library comes from before it can be installed, you must first download it to your computer.
As an example, the Adafruit Neopixel library will be installed here.
You can find them at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel
Download the entire contents of the GitHub directory. How to do this is explained in the article GitHub - How to copy files from a github to my computer.
Then unzip the downloaded zip file (the GitHub directory) to a location of your choice.
Information about unpacking an archive can be found in the article WinRar? WinZip? WinWhat? - Darling I shrunk the files
After that you have to restart the ArduinoIDE – if it is already running. This loads the new libraries and displays any existing examples in the ArduinoIDE. You should then be able to use the libraries.
If necessary, think about including the respective library like
in your Arduino project. Only then can you really use the functions of the new library.
Have fun with the project
I hope everything worked as described. If not or you have any other questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comments. Also, ideas for new projects are always welcome. 🙂
P.S. Many of these projects - especially the hardware projects - cost a lot of time and money. Of course I do this because I enjoy it, but if you appreciate that I share this information with you, I would be happy about a small donation to the coffee box. 🙂

Two weeks ago, a Plovdiv company that employs professional house managers sent an official inquiry to the temporary mayor of the "North" district and to the mayor Ivan Totev with questions about the passporting procedures.
It turns out that the administration is not yet ready to work on the implementation of the directive.
Professional house managers have attached a list of addresses of hundreds of objects in "Karshiyaka" and ask how many of them have an energy and technical passport and, if not, whether there is at least construction documentation in the municipal archives.
There is no answer to the inquiry yet.
In every building project, there are separate sections that deal with architecture, construction, condition of concrete and fixtures.
Other sections deal with plumbing and electrical.
The volume of the collected documentation is another problem, because it must be stored in the town halls or in a large municipality.
How will such an archive fit in a town hall quartered in a shack, like "Severen" for example?
In a large municipality, the archive is 7 times larger than that of the regional town hall.
If put together, they would take up half the national library. At the same time, the digitization process of the archive has not yet started.
"So far we are keeping the documentation, but most likely it will be necessary to expand the premises. Different documents are kept for different periods of time, and then they are handed over to the State Archives", explained Deputy Mayor Yordan Kalev.


The Colchester Quaker Housing Association was initiated by Friends in 1965; it eventually merged to become Family Mosaic in 2007. For many years it was run from the bedroom/sitting-room of founding secretary and Quaker Bernard Brett, a man with cerebral palsy who was well known in Colchester and a devoted campaigner for social justice. It didn’t take on its first paid staff until 1979, and even after that a huge amount of work was still done by volunteers.
In many ways, Colchester Quaker Housing Association’s work continues under a different name. Bernard Brett House still welcomes men and women, and helps them move on in their lives. The book Housing and Hope, which tells the story of the CQHA, explains: “New Hythe still gives a home to young parents and supports them in the crucial early stages of bringing up children. Hundreds of others live in flats and houses in the Colchester area and beyond, which were originally acquired and established by CQHA. And – just as important – there are thousands of people who can look back on a difficult stage in their lives and know how much they were encouraged by the skills of the staff and the practical help they received.
“It is too soon to know how these values will be maintained in the uncertain days of recession, rising unemployment and hardening of public attitudes to those living in poverty. Across the country, the temptation will be to pare support down to the minimum, expecting people to stand on their own two feet, come what may.
“The challenge will be to resist the ruthlessness that that implies. For what is certain is that many people young and old will continue to struggle as they make their way in the world, set up home or care for their families. They will need the kind of practical help and imaginative support that CQHA offered. They will need housing and hope.”
Housing & Hope, by Liz Taylor Jones, is in the library at Colchester Meeting House. It is published by Wivenhoe Bookshop’s Wivenbooks imprint. Any proceeds will go to the charities Quaker Social Action and Shelter.

Tearing At The Seams
Written by Stephanie Bravo
Edited by Liam Zhang
The concept of “home” is one that is found in many cultures and is deeply embedded in the human consciousness.
It is a word that despite its simplicity and frequent usage can take on many different and complex meanings: as a physical space or dwelling, the notions of privacy, protection and stability, or even one’s identity and sense of self. I created this series because I am interested in exploring the various meanings of “home” specifically as a feminine and cultural space and how they inform my own identity.
My initial reflection of home was its connection to domesticity. A woman’s role in this world is still a debated subject and, to this day, it remains tethered to the domestic realm. In my work, I reflect on the dichotomy of home being considered a private and feminine space whereas the public space is considered a masculine one. Using a self-portraiture approach, I created images from a singular viewpoint set from behind to highlight the contrast between what is visible (public and masculine) and what is hidden (private and feminine) from the viewer.
The concept of home can refer to both the tangible, physical space occupied by the body, or the intangible perception and experience resulting from occupying that space, or even the body itself. The female body has a history of being colonized by subjugating forces and the values of a system that oppresses women and their bodies can reside both intangibly in their minds, and tangibly in the space they occupy. Using the human body as a medium, I incorporated images of fragmented body parts and silhouettes of the female form in order to work all three different interpretations of “home” as a physical space, a mental space, and the body itself into one coherent depiction.
While reading multiple texts written about, or by, Latin-American women, I came across the term, “nepantla,” a word that originates from the Aztec language, Nahuatl, which means “middle.” The term is theorized to represent the concept of “in-between-ness” that is experienced by people exposed to two worlds, or cultures. Living in between cultures results in “seeing double” and the establishment of a new consciousness. In ‘Borderlands/La Frontera’ Gloria E. Anzaldúa wrote about the “mestiza consciousness” which is defined as the “racial, ideological, cultural, and biological cross-pollination” of an identity that shifts between two cultures. As an individual exposed to both Anglo and Hispanic cultures, the concept of “home” as it relates to one’s sense of cultural belonging and where one resides in this liminal space is also relevant to me. I’ve learned to tolerate the fact that my identity is unclear and to embraces the ambiguity of where “home” lies.
Working with print-based collages and writing, I explore the many meanings of “home” as an identity, a physical place, a rentable, brought to life by my own struggle to understand where my place is as a female and as a mestiza. Through the process of cutting, layering, mirroring, and repeating elements in my work, I was able to create a distinct framework for interpreting my sense of ‘self’ and ‘home’. Writing in English and Spanish became part of my process of narrating the conflict between two cultures. These components are parts of a whole that work in tandem with each other, while informing and causing one another to overlap and intersect.

This Spanish language Study Guide is the companion to the Spanish language version of the 5-DVD video series EL ESPEJO ENTERRADO (written and narrated by the famous Mexican writer and social commentator, Carlos Fuentes).
This Study Guide is the updated replacement for the “Workbook to accompany El Espejo Enterrado” by the same authors originally published by McGraw-Hill.
The series of five programs takes you on a fascinating journey through five hundred years of Spanish and Latin American history. Each one-hour program contains a number of short units (called unidades) lasting from four to eight minutes and dealing with a specific topic. The divisions into units is a creation of the authors and not indicated on film.
Often, study of the rich and varied culture of the Spanish-speaking world becomes separated from the study of the Spanish language. When accompanied by this Study Guide, the video series provides students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of Spanish while simultaneously learning a great deal about Hispanic culture, beautifully presented on film with accompanying commentary by Carlos Fuentes.
This study guide is intended to facilitate an understanding of Fuentes commentary and the nature of the issues he discusses. Students will find that preparing themselves for each unit by reading carefully the summary (resumen) and studying the vocabulary and phrases as well as thinking about the issues (ideas para pensar) before viewing the video itself will make Fuentes commentary much easier to understand.

The purpose of Library Council is to get students involved in the school library. I am wanting to make the library a teen-centered place to be, and I will need help from the students to do this.I am wanting the Library Council group to help me encourage school wide reading.
The biggest responsibility Library Council has is putting together the book fair. Most Library Council and Student Crew meetings will be held directly after school until 3:45 p.m. All students should arrange transportation home prior to staying after school.
All students are welcome, I just ask they they are hard working and team players.

Yesterday I finished reading a very interesting book, “Growth and Policy in Developing Countries. A Structuralist Approach” by José Antonio Ocampo, Codrina Rada, and Lance Taylor. The book is presenting the “real” structuralist view (in contrast to the pseudo-structuralism of the Bretton Woods institutions) of development economics. The approaches chosen differ in a broad way from what mainstream economics teaches us – and, importantly, they are accompanied by strong empirical evidence.
Here the authors’ key messages, as summarized in the last chapter of the book:
- “Convergence in income levels among countries is the exception rather than the rule.” – in contrast to the predictions of most orthodox models of economic growth;
- “International factors play a crucial role in the overall growth dynamics of the developing world.” – here, as well, mainstream economics works under different assumptions, where domestic policies and institutions are emphasized;
- “Structure matters.” – meanwhile, mainstream economic models view production and trade structures rather as a passive outcome of growth;
- “Productivity growth is as much a result as a cause of economic growth, largely because demand matters not only for short-term but also for long-term growth.” – mainstream analyses of growth patterns are essentially supply driven;
- “External shocks, both positive and negative, crucially influence the macroeconomic dynamics of developing countries.” – this brings counter-cyclical macroeconomic policies into the centre of development strategies;
- “The dynamics of sectoral net-borrowing patterns strongly influence possibilities for macroeconomic management, but the dominant patterns are not those usually underscored in orthodox analyses.”
- “Financial development plays a crucial role in both enhancing macroeconomic flexibility but also generates risks of its own.”
- and finally: “Success in the developing world is associated with States as much as markets.” – consider historic examples as China, India, South Korea.
The book by Ocampo et al. scrutinizes the foundations of mainstream development economics, both empirically and theoretically, and is really worth reading. Even if one is not a structuralist.

Virginia Tree Ordinance Database
Getting Started Before crafting a tree ordinance, it is important to familiarize yourself with these statutes from the Code of Virginia.
Search Tree Ordinances Search available tree ordinances by keyword.
Browse ALL Tree Ordinances Look at the whole tree ordinance for our select municipalities.
Dictionary of termsMost ordinances define the terms that are found in the ordinance, search for them here.
Welcome to the Virginia Tree Ordinance Database (VTOD), a repository of municipal ordinances in Virginia that regulate the use, management, and conservation of trees in urbanized areas. The purpose of this website is to provide citizens, professionals, and elected officials with information they can use to craft tree ordinances for their communities.
The website is not a tutorial or instruction manual for writing ordinances. Rather, it provides examples of common tree ordinance terminology and content, which has been excerpted from ordinances of select municipalities across Virginia. To date, 37 municipalities have been catalogued for the database. More will be added in the future.
VTOD is a project that is a collaboration between Virginia Tech Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation, the Virginia Department of Forestry, and Trees Virginia.


Storyteller and former child soldier start four-day series on healing through narrative
Photos by Shane Epping
Storyteller Laura Simms and former child soldier/bestselling author Ishmael Beah kick off a four-day storytelling-focused community residency with a lecture in Jesse Auditorium Wednesday night.
“This is a real love story,” Laura Simms told the audience in Jesse Auditorium last night.
She’d just recounted her first night at home with the teenage son she’d adopted, Ishmael Beah, now the bestselling author of the internationally acclaimed A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. Awkwardly tucking the 17-year-old into bed that night in 1998, Simms, a professional storyteller, shared an African story she’d learned three decades years earlier. As she spoke, Beah began to sing the song in the story, which Simms had never known. By coincidence, or fate, she was unwittingly telling a tale of the Mende people, Beah’s people.
What the Jesse Auditorium crowd heard is indeed a love story. It’s a story of a woman learning to be a mother and young man learning to be a kid. It’s an often-comical fish-out-of water story. It’s a story of healing and hope and cross-cultural understanding—complete with foreshadowing and folkloristic foundations, missteps and poignant moments.
Anyone expecting to be shocked by tales of bloodshed or outraged by reports of social injustices would have been disappointed by the former child soldier’s talk. Though alluding to “what war does to the human spirit,” Beah, now a 28-year-old U.N. humanitarian worker and philanthropist, spoke with quiet eloquence about everything from an ill-fated attempt to help an old woman in New York carry her groceries to the role West African reverence for storytellers has played in his relationship with Simms.
It was easy to see how Columbia-based Grammy-nominated storyteller Milbre Burch, whose Kind Crone Productions organized this four-day residency, might originally have conceived the Beah-Simms visit as a Mother’s Day event.
Topics may take a heavier turn this evening. Following a 5:30 p.m. reception and book signing in the Reynolds Journalism Institute, Simms and Beah join MU-affiliated human-rights activists Bea Gallimore, Arshad Husain and Ibtisam Barakat for the panel discussion “Narrative as a Pathway to Reconciliation,” to be held at 7:30 p.m. in Waters Auditorium.
Public and private events continue through Saturday evening.
Simms talks about the process of adopting Beah, whom she’d meet while he was taking part in a United Nations conference in New York.
Simms and Beah take questions from audience members, who ask about everything from Sierra Leone’s civil war to the process of writing a book.
MU students and faculty, as well as Columbia community members, fill much of the lower-level seating for the Jesse Auditorium event.
After the lecture, Beah signs copies of his memoir. A book-signing also will be held Thursday evening from 6:30 to 7 p.m. in the Reynolds Journalism Institute.
