Marking Holocaust Memorial Day, Yom HaShoah, is no trivial matter for Jews of all varieties. For the Charedi Jew, it is also a complex, somewhat confusing affair.
For the duration of my Charedi education, I recall schoolteachers instructing us (well in advance of the day itself) to refrain from standing up during the memorial siren on Holocaust Memorial Day. The State of Israel connects the establishment and continued existence of the state to the Nazi decimation of European Jewry, which serves as the ultimate justification for the foundation and existence of the Jewish State. Alongside tragic loss, Holocaust Memorial Day focuses on courage and Jewish strength and the transition from powerlessness to power. It is aptly named Yom HaShoah Vehagevura. Of all events, Israel’s collective memory highlights the Warsaw Ghetto uprising; even the date corresponds, in whichever way possible, to the heroic uprising.
Charedi society sees things differently. It opposes the secular orientation of rebellious heroism and is reticent to adopt the state-sponsored distinction between a current era of power and a former time of weakness. Rather than physical heroism, Haredi society highlights spiritual heroism of maintaining the religious spirit and human elevation in horrific circumstances. This is a far cry from the annual “never again” declaration of Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day.
Yet, in its own way, Charedi society certainly adopts the memory of the Holocaust as a foundational narrative. As a girl, the Holocaust was present throughout the year, receiving an almost mythical status that affected all aspects of life. It was a matter of intense interest in all areas of society: the school system, popular literature, the press, public lectures, and social and familial circles. It was mentioned with holy reverence, with excruciating sighs of pain, but also with the faintest hint of a smile marking the victory of our Jewish spirit over the Nazi devil. Haredi existence, the continuity that emerged from the ashes, is itself seen as a defiant act of protest against the chilling intentions of the Nazi enemy.
Upon growing up, I realized that my own Holocaust awareness was sharply different from how general Israeli society remembers it. Concepts such as “heroism and redemption,” as well as the sacred ceremonialism of Israel’s Holocaust memory, were entirely missing from my conception of the Holocaust. Why was it so important for the secular Jew to stand during the siren and so important for the Charedi Jew not to stand? After all, the Holocaust belongs to all of us. Is it less important to the Haredi collective than to the general one?
I have asked myself these questions for many years and continue to ask them. In the present article, I wish to present my brief reflection on the matter and ask the question: how will we continue to remember the Shoah?
Holocaust and Charedi Society in Israel
Charedim, a small minority among European Jewry, certainly felt the full brunt of the Holocaust’s lethal force. Centers of Charedi society were located predominantly in regions laid waste by the sword of the Nazi destroyer, and thousands of families and communities were entirely eliminated. The fabric of Charedi life was burned to dust. Beyond decimating its numbers, the Shoah caused the sudden demise of Charedi society’s Rabbinic and Torah leadership. In the immediate aftermath, this loss seemed irreconcilable as well as irreplaceable. Many survivors who had belonged to Charedi communities abandoned their faith, and thousands were drawn by the pioneering, even redemptive appeal of Zionism to leave the exilic pattern of Charedi life. Charedi society, which barely survived the emancipation and secularization of pre-war Europe, seemed doomed.
[B]y contrast with the Zionist ethos, which saw life in Israel as the mirror image of the Holocaust, the Charedim needed to create an ethos of continuity. How does one create continuity after such total destruction?
As the dust of war began to clear, and as remnants of European Jewry undertook the mission of returning to life, it was clear that Charedi society would never be the same. The enormity of the catastrophe, alongside colossal historical changes, guaranteed this would not be possible. Rebuilding Charedi life in Israel thus demanded a reshaping of Haredi society. But by contrast with the Zionist ethos, which saw life in Israel as the mirror image of the Holocaust, the Charedim needed to create an ethos of continuity. How does one create continuity after such total destruction? For this purpose, Charedi society formed its own distinctive memory of the Holocaust.
The Charedi axiom of “we have no remnant but this Torah,” which for centuries defined Jewish life in a perpetually painful exile, was the rallying cry for a post-Holocaust rebuilding that would form a continuous link with a glorious past. The destruction of Europe’s Yeshivos with their Rabbis and students necessitated the rebuilding of the Torah world as a part of the Jewish continuum, and all energies of post-war Charedi society were thus harnessed for re-establishing the Yeshivos and Hassidic courts that would form new centers of an ancient tradition. While numbers remained small, the rate of growth was huge. The nascent Israeli Charedi school system tripled its student numbers over less than two decades, a rate of growth that was seen by Charedi society as nothing but miraculous; and the concept of a Torah renewal out of European ashes, which quickly reached numbers (of yeshiva students) that overtook those of pre-war Europe, became a founding myth of the great Charedi rebirth.
On the front doorway to the renowned Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak the following words were thus inscribed: “On Mount Zion will be a remnant, and it shall be holy” (Ovadya 1:17). These words reflected the belief that establishing the Yeshivos in the Land of Israel is the true Jewish response to the Holocaust. Only by rebuilding and strengthening the Torah world could the eternal heritage of Holocaust victims be perpetuated. This was true revenge against the Nazi oppressors.
The Land of Israel: Continuity or a New Beginning?
The Zionist response to the Holocaust glorifies the redemption and renewal of the State of Israel as an antithesis to exilic powerlessness that culminated in inevitable destruction. The Holocaust is the end of a sad and unfortunate chapter in the history of our people, which some even saw as a mark of shame, while the State of Israel represents a fresh beginning, a creation out of destruction. For this purpose, Israeli society emphasizes the enormity of the destruction alongside the frailty of European Jewry.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, as opposed to the general tale of the Holocaust, thus became a foundational myth, a model of Jewish heroism from which the new state could draw inspiration. By contrast, the Holocaust presented an urgent challenge for Charedi society to rehabilitate the concept of Jewish continuity. The Holocaust formed a massive hole within the heart of Jewish tradition, calling for urgent repair surgery.
Charedi society is predicated on the idea of tradition and continuity, and preserving these foundations required blurring the magnitude of the catastrophe, at least in its spiritual dimensions. The Holocaust thus became “another chapter” in the tragic heroism of Jewish history, in the narrative of the Sisyphean struggle of an exilic Jewry strewn among its enemies. Like all other chapters, the Jewish spirit ultimately prevailed to ensure survival into the next generation.
In many essays penned by Charedi survivors and their progeny, wartime European Jewry is even described in a nostalgic and idyllic style, with a strong emphasis on miraculous rescue and spiritual heroism in the face of impossible adversity — a far cry from the descriptions found in classic Holocaust texts such as Primo Levi’s If This Is A Man. Charedi society thus created a restorative narrative stressing continuity and blurring the paralyzing power of a crisis of a magnitude previously unknown to Jewish history.
The deep gap between the two young societies, the Israeli and the Charedi-Israeli, is reflected in their choice of commemoration. Official Holocaust commemoration in Israel is done through monuments, ceremonies, and memorial books. This form of commemoration is frowned upon in internal Charedi discourse, which presents monuments as “dead stones” and memorial ceremonies as non-Jewish rituals devoid of meaning. Israeli commemoration is even occasionally described as an intentional distortion that provides a cynical justification for the State of Israel.

The Holocaust thus became “another chapter” in the tragic heroism of Jewish history, in the narrative of the Sisyphean struggle of an exilic Jewry strewn among its enemies
Charedi commemoration of the Holocaust is fundamentally different. Instead of the collective, public realm, the sphere of Holocaust memory in Charedi society is the familial and personal arena. On one level, the family home was where new generations met survivors, internalizing the theme of Jewish survival and continuity in the face of a brutal enemy. Yet beyond this, the family presents opportunities for commemoration, such as in the common practice of naming newly born descendants after relatives who perished in the Holocaust or writing a family-oriented book dedicated to the life story of survivors.
The drive for large, Torah-imbued families is perceived in Haredi consciousness as an act of commemoration and revenge. For survivors, the formation of a Jewish, Torah-observant family, the more so in the Holy Land of Israel, is itself a framework for commemorating victims. Adherence to Torah and Mitzvah observance is the ultimate expression of a spirit that defeated the Nazi scheme to eliminate Judaism and the most significant, most meaningful form of commemoration.
In the first years of the State of Israel, the avoidance of a ceremonial or public marking of the Holocaust catastrophe sparked internal discussion within Charedi society, but after several years the norm of personal and informal commemoration won the day. The Chazon Ish, among the most prominent early Haredi rabbinic leaders, rejected all proposals to establish collective mourning arrangements. His principal argument, which emerged victorious against dissenting claims by such leaders as the Admorim of Vizhnitz and Sadigora, was that the Holocaust did not warrant collective mourning and that the rabbinic establishment did not have the authority to enact a new memorial day. Each should rather mourn his individual loss. Behind the argument, we can assume, was the concern for a break in Jewish continuity.
Instead of Holocaust ceremonies stressing loss and disconnect, Charedi society thus remained faithful to the idea that the study and preservation of the Torah, with an emphasis on continuity, was the true commemoration and victory over the Nazis.
Holocaust, Zionism, and the Restoration of Haredi Society
The focus on commemoration through continuity played an additional role: providing a way for Charedi society to cope with the fierce ideological winds blowing in from the pioneering spirit of Zionism.
The fact that rabbis were perceived as having failed to predict or prevent the Holocaust, by contrast with Zionist leaders who called for emigration en masse to Palestine (and some, like Jabotinsky, who simply called for Jewish escape from impending doom), strengthened the Zionist position. One prominent author was Rabbi Yissaschar Shlomo Teichtel, who in 1944 published Eim Habanim Semeicha, a book in which he retracted his previous anti-Zionist positions and endorsed, in the wake of the Holocaust calamity, the Zionist vision of a Jewish State. The Charedi position was further weakened when some rabbinic leaders, such as the Bezler Rebbe, his brother the Belgroi Rebbe, and the Munkatcher Rebbe, who had previously preached against emigration, yet themselves fled to Palestine to escape the Nazis.
In the face of the electrifying energy of Zionism, the Charedi community’s work to guard its perimeter fences demanded a huge investment of effort. Sometimes, the memory of the Holocaust itself was enlisted for this purpose: after all, “He who causes a person to sin is worse than he who kills him.” Emphasis on preserving the spirit of Judaism, and pointing commemoration in the direction of decimated Charedi communities, likewise served the purpose of strengthening opposition to Zionism.
As for uncomfortable testimony or events — those highlighting the ostensible (physical and spiritual) weakness of Charedi society and the justice of Zionism (such as the writings of Rabbi Teichtel mentioned above) — these were generally excluded from the collective Charedi memory. Sometimes, the testimony was preserved yet given an alternative interpretation; in a new edition of Rabbi Teichtel’s work, his son (quite unconvincingly) clarified that his father never actually meant to endorse Zionism.
Alongside these efforts, an alternative narrative was presented in which the Rabbis were aware of the impending danger, and encouraged their flock to emigrate to Palestine. In addition, attempts were made to justify the escape of rabbinic leaders to Palestine without their communities (countering the argument that they abandoned them to a bitter end) on the grounds that they never wished it but were forced to do so by others. Either way, the exodus of the rabbinic leaders is presented in Charedi historiography as a true miracle that enabled the continuity of Charedi society, and not God forbid as a cowardly flight from danger.
These rescue miracles are part of the heroic story of the restoration of Judaism after the Holocaust. They connect to the idea of continuity that stresses the (spiritual) power of Charedi society and its ability to overcome our neverending persecution. This miraculous rescue reveals the Divine supervision that brought about the rebuilding of the Yeshivos destroyed in the fires of Auschwitz. The newly rebuilt Charedi world is the greatest proof of this eternal truth.
If Zionism is the solution to the problem of Jewish exile then the rabbinic leadership was wrong from the outset, and Haredi Judaism continues to tread a misguided path. To deal with such a potent threat, Charedi Judaism was forced to separate from the Jewish collective both in joy and sadness — joy over the renewal of life in the Land of Israel, and sadness over the national memory of the Holocaust of European Jewry
More extreme voices went still further and marked Zionism as sharing the blame, to varying degrees, in the Holocaust itself. Even during the war, stridently anti-Zionist streams of Charedi Judaism castigated Zionism as a violation of the “Three Oaths” (one of which prohibits “moving to the Land of Israel as a wall”) and associated Zionist heresy with the destruction of the Holocaust. In 1940, a placard posted by Neturei Karta in Jerusalem wrote: “The destruction must be attributed to this rebellious and inciting heretical Zionist leadership, which rebelled against the King of Kings in his very palace of the Holy Land.” In this vision, exilic Judaism was never doomed to die at the hands of the Nazis, and the destruction was unrelated to the Jewish refusal to leave Europe; on the contrary, the Zionist betrayal of the exile is what brought destruction to the Jewish diaspora.
A particularly strident accusation was made in The Burned of the Crematoria Accuse [Hebrew] by Rabbi Moshe Sheinfeld, a publicist and leader of the Youths of Agudat Yisrael. According to Sheinfeld, “What the heads of Zionism did to European Jewry during the Second World War is nothing other than actually killing it. […] They sunk into the fortifications of my walls the destroyed Jewish children of the exile.” While serving as editor of Hamachaneh Ha-Haredi, Knesset Member Yisrael Eichler (UTJ) wrote in the same vein that “not only did [the Zionists] refrain from lifting a finger, but they actively tried to block rescue attempts.”
All told, the ideological struggle of the Charedi approach against Zionist ideology created a situation in which one Holocaust narrative threatened the other. For Zionism, the Holocaust is the end of our millennia-long exile, and life in the Land of Israel is the beginning of redemption — be it religious-messianic or secular-materialist. By sharp contrast, in the Charedi approach, we continue to await the longed-for messianic redemption, a miraculous event that will bring the Holy Temple down in flames from the sky. This, and nothing but this, will bring the Jewish exile to its close — an exile that continues unabated even as millions of Jews reside in the Holy Land.
This approach is clearly expressed in the words of Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman (who perished in the Holocaust in 1941) at the founding convention of Agudas Yisrael, in which he describes the vision of the Jewish State as “exile among the Jews.” Paraphrasing the idea of the “beginning of redemption,” Rabbi Wasserman beseeched his audience to realize that what Zionism calls redemption is for Torah-true Jews, just another form of exile. It is true that many Charedi Jews today do not live with this mindset; they appreciate that with the establishment of the Jewish state the exile, at the very least, changed its face, and it is nigh impossible to avoid linking this with the decimation of the Shoah. The rhetoric, however, continues to characterize Charedi ideology to this day.
The challenge of the Holocaust for Charedi Judaism lies not only in the enormous hole it punctured in the historical continuum of Jewish life but even in the piercing ideological questions it raises, which threaten to undermine the Charedi understanding of the essence of Jewish living. If Zionism is the solution to the problem of Jewish exile, then the rabbinic leadership was wrong from the outset, and Charedi Judaism continues to tread a misguided path. To deal with such a potent threat, Charedi Judaism was forced to separate from the Jewish collective both in joy and sadness — joy over the renewal of life in the Land of Israel and sadness in the national memory of the destruction of European Jewry.
The Zionist conception sees the Holocaust as a transition, a watershed event marking the end of the exile and the beginning of a new phase of Jewish nationalism. The Holocaust is enlisted by the Israeli narrative as the tragic culmination of exilic Jewry and the opening of a new era in the life of the Jewish People. Charedi society tells the story differently. It sees the Holocaust as another catastrophe in a series of catastrophes that the Jewish People experienced in its exile — not an inconceivable loss, and certainly not of the kind that inevitably leads to a historical reorganization with redemption at its core.
To ensure the narrative of continuity of the chain of generations, Charedi society needed to limit the magnified tragedy of the Holocaust. It continues to emphasize the continuous line running between the waves of pogroms that pepper our exilic condition, including the Holocaust as a (uniquely destructive) case in point, while marking the continuity between the glorious Torah world of pre-war Europe and the restoration of Charedi society in post-war Israel. Haredi memory of the Holocaust is cast in the same mold: not a formal commemoration of ceremonies in the public square, but a commemoration that flows naturally across the calendar and throughout the Jewish lifecycle.
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning the seeds of change that can be seen today in Holocaust commemoration within Charedi society. In tandem with other aspects of social life, recent years have seen some parts of Charedi society adopt Holocaust Memorial Day as a day for marking the memory of victims and the miraculous stories of survivors. This is especially prominent on Charedi websites, which have adopted the custom of publishing Holocaust-related items over the course of Yom HaShoah. This, perhaps, is the product of two simultaneous trends: a narrowing of the gap between Charedim and general society and the impossibility of maintaining a private memory as the number of survivors dwindles.
As the non-Charedi public softens its own narrative of heroism, perhaps the conflict of narratives can be softened even from the Charedi side of the fence. Yes, we do try our best to maintain a chain of continuity, but, if we’re honest with ourselves, the Holocaust remains unique
The Charedi narrative of continuity has thus far passed the test of time. Yet, as the non-Charedi public softens its own narrative of heroism, perhaps the conflict of narratives can be softened even from the Charedi side of the fence. Yes, we do try our best to maintain a chain of continuity, but if we’re honest with ourselves, the Holocaust remains unique. It should be remembered thus.

However, when it came to testing my logarithm functions, the supported methods didn’t totally fit my case. Specifically, I wanted to use to test that a log(0) equals to negative infinity. Having already used similar methods of the library, such as toBeNaN(), I was expecting that a similar method (i.e. toBeNegativeInfinity() ) would also exist.
Nonetheless, it didn’t and of course one could easily argue “why not working around it, like toEqual(-Infinity) ?”, but then, what is the point of having methods like toBeNaN()? We could also work around this with toBeEqual(NaN).
So, I decided to extend it a bit, because I didn’t want to wait math.js already had a dependency on jasmine-node package, so, I had to provide my own (extended) version of jasmine-node. How could I do this?
- Fork jasmine-node
- Clone the forked repo locally
- Extend the library to my liking
- Distribute a new npm package out of the extended library (1)
- Replace jasmine-node dependency with jasmine-node-xt (2)
- Use the desired method as initially
(0) : Following the concept of also extending the library I used, instead of just providing a PR and wait whether it will be accepted or not, I saved time from something that might never happen in the future from my side; on the other hand, I gained knowledge on an area I am not so experienced, so, even if the submitted PR is not gonna be accepted, I learned something new!
(1) : Required changes in package.json; here you also have to keep in mind the provided license from the original library – it might affect the way you wanna distribute your extended version of that library
(2) : First uninstall jasmine-node : npm uninstall –save-dev jasmine-node and then install our version: npm install –save-dev jasmine-node-xt

This chapter describes the procedures for starting and stopping a VoltDB database and includes details about configuring the database. The chapter contains the following sections:
Use the voltdb command with the create action to start an empty, single-node database suitable for developing and testing a database and application:
$ voltdb create
Other database startup actions include adding or rejoining nodes to the cluster, and recovering the database from snapshots after the database stops. More startup arguments identify such information as a host to manage startup in a cluster, and a deployment file containing cluster configuration options. The rest of this chapter covers these issues and more in detail.
If the database you are working on has stopped, use voltdb recover to restart it. Do not rerun the voltdb create command or your schema and data will be reinitialized to an empty database. Later in this chapter we explain how to safely stop and restart a VoltDB database.

- July 10, 2012
July 5, 2012-Students in the ten member states of ASEAN will soon be learning about the organization on a regular basis as teachers begin using the ASEAN Curriculum Sourcebook to integrate ASEAN ‘themes’ into primary and secondary school classes. The sourcebook was officially released on July 5 during the opening ceremony of the ASEAN Education Ministers Meeting.
In announcing release of the book, H.E. Prof. Dr. Ir. KH. Mohammad Nuh, Indonesia’s Minister of Education and Culture, noted its purpose in advancing ASEAN an ”outward-looking, stable, peaceful and prosperous” community. U.S. Ambassador to ASEAN David L. Carden presented the sourcebook on behalf of the United States. ”As the region moves closer to integration, it is essential that ASEAN’s origin, history, objectives, and evolving role within Southeast Asia are present as part of every student?s education,” he said.
Four years in the making, the sourcebook organizes the current ASEAN-related curricula of member states as well new resources into five chapters: Knowing ASEAN, Valuing Identity and Diversity, Connecting Global and Local, Promoting Equity and Justice, and Working Together for a Sustainable Future. Each chapter has sample lesson plans that cover objectives, suggested grade levels, topics and time required to cover each topic, desired results, and lists of required materials and resources. Subjects range from holidays to biodiversity to the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights.
Namji Steinemann, Director of the Asia Pacific Education Program at the East-West Center and the lead author of the sourcebook, says that “the materials are learner-centered and inquiry-based, with crucial 21st century skills,such as critical thinking, media and information literacy, cross-cultural communication, collaboration, perspective consciousness, and respect for diversity, articulated from lesson to lesson, so teachers may help students acquire, practice, and master skills they will need for personal success and responsible citizenship in today’s fast changing interconnected world.”
The book will be distributed to schools throughout the region immediately, and materials will also be posted on education websites for free downloading (in late August check www.seameo-innotech.org/SEAtoolkit ).
The sourcebook was developed by the Senior Officials Meeting on Education (SOM-ED) and the Southeast Asian Ministries of Education Organization (SEAMEO), with support from the ASEAN-U.S. Technical Assistance and Training Facility, managed by Nathan Associates Inc.

travelogue, part history, part memoir, Rebecca Haile's Held at a Distance shines a bright and unique light on Ethiopia....as rich and nuanced a portrait
of her native land as I have seen."
When I finally had the chance to return to Ethiopia after living in the United States for twenty-five years, I went with mixed emotions. I was excited, naturally, to visit my birthplace, but I was also nervous about returning to the country my family had fled when I was eleven. Was I going "home", or would I, as the American I have since become, be an uncomfortable outsider?

‘Janaranjani’ — an audio library is grabbing everyone’s attention in just one month with hundreds of vintage gramophone records and thousands of cassettes and compact discs. The collection dates back to 1931 when the Telugu film industry was in its nascent stage.
Goli Saibabu has built up ‘Janaranjani’ painstakingly over the last two decades. In his library, one can find a handbook ‘Janaranjani’ Part-3 ‘Ragam, Tanam and Pallavi’.
“I divided the period of 1931 to 2010 into three parts and started printing the data of Telugu film songs. First, I brought out the third part starting from 1989 to 2005,” says Mr. Saibabu. The book contains the title of the film, year, banner, producer, director, music director, hero-heroine, songs, lyric writer and playback singers. Except dubbing films, all films released in a year are recorded in the book and the same were collected in the shape of gramophone record or cassette or CD. Why did he take 1931 as the benchmark ? The first Telugu talkie ‘Bhakta Prahlada’ was released on September 15, 1931 and was preceded just one month by the Tamil talkie ‘ Kalidasu’. On March 14, 1931 ‘Alam Ara’ the first I ndian talkie was released.
The platinum jubilee of Telugu film industry was celebrated on September 15, 2005, and by that time the industry completed 4,500 films. All songs in these films are published in three parts by Mr. Saibabu’s Lakshmi Prabhakar Publications. He says none in his family was connected to the film industry. It all started as a hobby and the pocket money given by his parents was spent on collecting 2,000 gramophone records and cassettes from 1989. The rest of the two parts (first and second) are under printing and will be released shortly. “I appeal to those possessing old gramophone records or songs to send them to me. They will be preserved in my library on their name. I can distribute songs to any one through memory card or a cell phone.”
Mr. Saibabu’s collection includes K.J. Yesudas’ 360 Telugu film songs which are not devotional or private songs. He plans to publish ‘Ashtapadulu’ – 80 years’ dairy of Telugu films released from 1931 to 2010. His collection includes complete devotional songs of all the singers in Telugu.

School Library Renovation Project
This summer, we are raising money to fund a renovation of our school library and restore the beautiful old building to its former glory! An engaging and effective library is at the heart of our school vision, to Inspire Excellence and so our Parent Forum are working tirelessly to fund the renovation as there is no set national funding for school libraries.
Our goal is to create a cosy and welcoming, yet inspiring library. Nurturing for those who want a quiet moment to read a story in a corner, but also a place where our students can pick up a challenging book and where everyone can feel inspired to learn. The library will be used throughout the entire school day, for small group lessons, library sessions and free choice time. We are aiming to fill our library with 2000 books, as well as expand the space into the marble stone foyer, purchase new furniture and catalogue the whole system.
The project is predicted to cost £20,000, half of which the school will source through grants. We need your help to fund the remaining £10,000 by asking for corporate sponsorship through any contacts you have, helping the Parent Forum fundraise at events and donating directly for us to buy books through our Just Giving page:https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/arkschools/ark-conway-library or you can search for ‘Ark Conway’ on the Just giving page home page.
If you can donate even just £5, this will buy us a fictional paperback while £10 will buy us a non-fiction hardback book. On average, school libraries need 10 books per pupil so a £50-£100 donation would fund a whole collection!
Every penny counts so if you can, we’d really appreciate your kind donation towards this fantastic cause.


Talk: The Programmer's Bookshelf
The Pragmatic Programmer, The Mythical Man-Month, The Cathedral & the Bazaar - these are among the classic works that we are told should be on every programmer's bookshelf. Often, they make it to the shelf, but remain unread. Have you ever wondered why these books are considered such beacons to our community? Have you maybe even felt guilty for not reading them all? We'll go through the "cliff notes" edition of these classics, and even a few future classics to inspire you to check out what’s on your own bookshelf.


Naïma Aouni (b. 1987) lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. She has been painting professionally since 2013. At the young age of 10 years old, Naïma discovered the enjoyment of drawing. Her passion for drawing only intensified a couple years later when she first came in contact with Michelangelo’s drawings.
She recalls the profound influence Michelangelo had on her young impressionable mind. Being pulled in by the gravitas of art, she made up her mind to pursue art more seriously.In her teens, she started scourging the library for art books. Particularly the 17th century piqued her interest.
Being born in Antwerp, having access to masterpieces of Rubens and Van Dyck, fueled her passion further on. It was however at the age of 23 years old, she finally picked up painting.
Naïma Aouni belongs to a group of young painters who, at the beginning of the 21st century is focusing on the continuation of representational art. The artist paints portraits of models of her own choosing, inspired by their individual features that conveys universal emotions. She is also a keen self-portrait artist, in which the reflective nature of the artist comes through.
Her works are in private collections as well as in public ones. Such as University of Antwerp, Provinciehuis of Antwerp, Exeter College of Oxford (UK) and New Salem Museum (USA).
Some notable portraits she is commisoned by Exeter College of Oxford of their Alumni includes former president John Kufuor and Dr. Catherine M. Green OBE. For the Provinciehuis of Antwerp she painted the official portrait of the Gorvernor of Antwerp Cathy Berx.


There was a span of time where the library had some really great speaking events. Authors would come and talk about their book and whatnot, but the really juicy events, the ones that I was interested in, were when experts on a niche subject came to do presentations about subjects like aliens being spotted over Lake Michigan, weird history, or how to listen to music properly.
The best presentation, by far, was this ex-cop who spoke about an unsolved murder that occurred in 1970 in Grand Rapids, Michigan (where I was living at the time).
The story goes that a couple was living in a house on College Avenue. They had gotten married seventeen days prior. The young wife was home alone when (police suspect) a person knocked on the door and, after she let them in, stabbed her thirty-two times. Once in the chest, once in the back, and THIRTY TIMES IN THE NECK. She was almost beheaded from all the stab wounds. The guy had photos and a blueprint of the house to go along with his presentation. He showed us gruesome photos of the crime scene, the woman’s dead body covered in red, doubled over. People in the audience gasped at the photo. Her face was hidden by her hair, saturated with blood. She was found on the floor in the kitchen, right outside the door that went to the bedroom. He displayed an outline of where the body had been found in the house.
There is no suspects in her death, and many believe it was a random person who killed her and ran off.
During the presentation I realized the house in which the murder took place was down the road from where I lived. After the presentation my friend and I walked a little further down the road to check out the house where the this atrocity happened.
We stood in front of the house, having walked past it a million times before, but now looking at it differently. In the front yard was a FOR RENT sign, and I wondered which apartment (there were two–the one where the murder took place was on the first floor) was available.
When I got home, I called the number. A man answered, and I told him I was interested in renting the apartment. He seemed cheery, and told me that it was indeed the first floor apartment and that he’d be happy to show me the apartment in the next couple of days. I told him i’d look at my schedule, not actually thinking about intentionally renting or going inside a creepy murder house. The thrill of talking to the landlord and finding out which apartment it happened in was exciting enough for me.
The next day I had to run an errand that took me past the murder house again. Knowing the first floor was empty, I walked up to the windows and tried to peek inside. I couldn’t see much and after a minute or two I heard a young girl speak, startling me, asking if I was interested in the apartment. She lived on the second floor and was returning home from somewhere.
“The apartment is open–I can let you though the front door and you can go right inside,” she said. “My landlord doesn’t mind.”
I thanked her and followed her into the house, not sure if I should be scared or excited to have such an opportunity. Through the front door was a small area with a staircase that went upstairs, and a door in front of me that went to the apartment in question. I thanked her as she went upstairs, and I wondered how I went from listening to a guy talk about the murder in a library auditorium to standing in the very doorway this woman’s murderer past through to kill her.
Now alone, I turned the knob and opened the door.
I thought for sure the apartment would look somewhat modern, stripped completely of its past. You’d expect an old-ish house to have a complete overhaul, giving it a more sanitary look. What I found was a time warp to a completely different era. Absolutely nothing had changed. I might as well have been there the day after she was murdered.
I stepped into the kitchen, hesitantly. The walls were a dingy, dark yellow. Looking to my left was the living room, its dark brown carpet with outdated sheer window blinds. There wasn’t a piece of furniture anywhere, which made sense, but also meant no one’s lived here for a bit. Immediately my eyes were drawn to the spot in the kitchen where the door to the bedroom was. I looked down. The kitchen floor was covered in vinyl flooring, in typical 1970’s decor. I walked over to the spot Shelly Speet Mills’s body was found. There was no evidence of blood anywhere, but it was hard to decipher between what stains had come from her murder and what had come from forty years of use.
I felt sick knowing all that I knew about this spot. The history of sadness in this place after the horrific act occurred. Her mother finding her. The moments alone with her before anyone showed up to help. Her husband coming home to find countless police officers milling about the apartment looking for clues while the woman he married two weeks prior lay dead on the floor.
I hopped over the spot I knew she’d died and walked into the bedroom. The floor was sticky, and there were rat traps along the wall. Crumbs of dirt littered the floor. One sad window filtered sun through a dirty sheet. It was as if my imagination of the murder had replicated itself in reality, and I was forever going to be trapped there. At any moment I was going to turn around and she would be standing there, bloody, her arms reaching out to me, as if pleading to bring justice to her murderer. I felt aware of myself there, then. It was quiet, I couldn’t hear the roar of cars driving past the house despite it residing on a busy street. I exited the bedroom, hopping once again over the spot, and half-skipped/half ran to the door. I whisped myself out the exit, to get outside before I was trapped forever in that house.


Submitted by Cindy Halcomb Wyant.
I quit too soon on the paragraph on the West/Milliken family > Elsie/Elcie West Milliken was the daughter of William and Angeline Clendennen West – oldest brother of Amos – both sons of Richard West and Susannah “Isabel” Fike West.
Note: I have three Richard Wests related to Amos West. His father - Richard West (Sr.) 1739-1820; his brother – Richard West (Jr.) 1764-1820; and his son – Richard West (III) 1806-1841.
In my case I didn’t have the surroundings of family when I was growing up. My father was a Government surveyor and we moved 27 times before I was 10 years old. My mother’s family lived in North Dakota and we spent several assignments near them … so I knew who they were. But the Halcomb side in Missouri was more of a mystery which was compounded by the fact that my grandfather Halcomb died before I was born. I knew two of his sisters, and his mother was still living until I was age 4 – but I have only one vague memory of her.
Back in the 70’s I was on a search in Kentucky to find “who I really was” spurred mostly by whether I was a Halcomb or a Holcomb. I came on the manuscript “Notes on Hiram Halcomb …” by Isabel Stebbins Giulvezan in the Kentucky State Historical Society Library. I photocopied it in its entirety! Her wonderful research got me started on the complexities of our family. Returning home after my trip, I corresponded with Isabel and she graciously allowed me to use her research. It was just recently that I discovered she had also written another manuscript “Notes on Amos West …” which I am sure you are aware of. If not, it is in ebook form on Ancestry. She did an amazing job of itemizing legal documents for the last 30 years of his life.

In this episode of the China in the World podcast, Paul Haenle speaks with Peter Martin about his new book, “China’s Civilian Army: The Making of Wolf Warrior Diplomacy.” Peter Martin’s book charts the history of Chinese diplomacy, from the rise of the Communist Party during the Republican era to the end of 2020. Mr. Martin’s research references hundreds of primary documents, including personal memoirs and diaries recorded by Chinese government officials. He explains that “Wolf Warrior” diplomacy, as it has come to be known, is nothing new, and that its roots lie in the internal incentive structure of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Both public opinion and the directives of Party superiors combine to compel China’s diplomatic corps to be assertive players on the international stage.
Mr. Peter Martin is a Defense Policy and Intelligence Reporter for Bloomberg News. Mr. Martin has written extensively about China and U.S.-China relations. His latest book is “China’s Civilian Army: The Making of Wolf Warrior Diplomacy,” published in June 2021 via Oxford University Press.

First, I would like to acknowledge today was Orange shirt day. We got to attend an Indigenous ceremony and take a group photo in our orange shirts. The orange shirts show we acknowledge every child matters. In class we learned about audio editing, video editing, green screen editing and screen capturing. Learning about the different layers to editing was very interesting. Rich Mccue who manages the University of Victoria Libraries Digital Scholarship Commons was our guest speaker. He gave us an introductory lesson to video editing using iMovie. He was very helpful, I was able to figure out the assignment despite my lack of tech skills. It was easy to understand as he had step by step instructions. I started with the video editing. I used a video of goats and proceeded to manipulate it. I cut the video, adjusted the volume, added transitions and created a title page and credit page. We then learned how to use Audacity and Screencastify. Screencastify is really easy to set up using the plugin you are able to record your voice and what you are doing on the screen. This is a great tool to teach someone how to use a website or create a presentation. The workshop with Mccue was very beneficial and I feel as though I can use the new skills when teaching my own class.


Welcome to Bay Journeys, a publication we hope will help launch you on new explorations, and adventures, around the Chesapeake. The Chesapeake Bay is rightfully considered a national treasure: English America started here with the Jamestown Colony. Its leader, Capt. John Smith, explored the “faire bay” documenting the abundant resources of what would prove to be the nation’s largest estuary.
But the story of the Bay also includes that of the American Indians who thrived here long before the English arrived, and Chesapeake watermen who for generations made their living from what writer H.L. Mencken described as “an immense protein factory.” It’s also the story of vast marshes with abundant wildlife, wide tidal rivers with bald eagles and osprey soaring overhead, and tiny creeks where herring and American eel fight their way upstream in annual migrations.
The demise of some of these resources and cultures has been well-documented. Bay Journeys is intended to help introduce readers to special places where they can still experience first-hand the natural, historic and cultural aspects of the Chesapeake Bay. By doing so, we hope it will help spark a greater sense of stewardship for these places and resources, and the desire to protect what is left, and restore some of what has been lost.
“Journey” stems from the old French word “jornee” which means “a day’s travel” or “a day’s work.” Our intent is to show you that Bay experiences are close at hand. Each issue will highlight not only places you can go, but show how to get started on your own adventures, whether it is getting into a kayak, onto a trail or touring by car.
Publication of Bay Journeys is supported by the National Park Service and by the Chesapeake Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting conservation, stewardship, access and enjoyment of the Chesapeake Bay’s iconic landscapes, waterways and its cultural and historic access. Chesapeake Media Service, a nonprofit organization best known for our sister publication, Bay Journal, is responsible for the editorial content.

Collective Unconscious: memories of mental patterns that are shared by members of a single culture or, more broadly, by all human beings: originally proposed by the psychologist Carl Jung to explain psychological traits shared by all people. He theorized that the collective unconscious appears as archetypes: patterns and symbols that occur in dreams, mythology and fairy tales. (The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition 2002)
Archetype (AHR-ki-teyep): the original pattern or model of a work; or the original model from which all things of the same kind are made. (Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Second Edition)
Archetypes resemble the beds of rivers: dried up because the water has deserted them, though it may return at any time. An archetype is something like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for a time, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it flowed the deeper the channel and the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return. (Carl Jung – The Primordial Images)
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. (Carl Jung – Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious)
Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself. (Plato)
* * * * * * *
Archetypes are eternal. They span eons and cross cultures. They generate myth, art and history itself. Archetypes are the foundation of all civilization. Their stories are endless because they are the truth behind the myth. Archetypes are life and in some way they touch us all.
I find there are certain scents that capture the archetypes of perfume. They are primal smells and we respond to them because they represent “first smell memory”. Perhaps they are genetically encoded in us all. Serene, timeless, and beyond gender, these scents inform and give rise to all fragrance.
Each of the 12 CB Archetype Perfumes captures one of these profound essences. The perfumes in this collection are mysterious and complex yet still capture one pure idea of perfume. And though beautiful on their own, Archetypes can be endlessly combined!


Let the Reading Begin...
15th March 2018
"The CILIP Carnegie Medal The CILIP Carnegie Medal is awarded annually to the writer of an outstanding book written in English for children and young people."
Previous winners of the prestigious award include: Patrick Ness, Robert Swindells and Sarah Crossan, to name but a few.
This year, a group of our Year 8 HAPs will be participating in the Carnegie Shadowing scheme and aiming to read all eight of the shortlisted titles before the winner is announced on 18th June!
At lunchtime today, the group met to discover this year's shortlisted titles...by opening the boxes of our book delivery! We discussed the front covers and blurbs and decided on the first read: 'Rook' by Anthony McGowan, setting the target of completing it by next Thursday's meeting! Reading the first chapter together was a great start to our shadowing journey - a slightly unusual narrative so far but this should bring a great discussion!
Watch this space for more shadowing news or take a look at our official webpage (from next week): http://carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/grouphomepages/index.php?GroupID=27694


Competitive Casting – All Ages
This classic tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller. Unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence.

I’m sure a few of you have heard about the challenge that Mark Zuckerberg introduced in January, A Year Of Books, in which participants read a book every two weeks for the whole year. I would love to participate in something like this, except that:
A.) My trips to the library consist of playing with my toddler, finding age-appropriate books to read with him, and trying to keep him interested in the reading/story time if there is one that day. Not much time for me to find a book for myself.
B.) Most of my reading includes web articles like “Why is my kid’s poop green?”, “How to handle toddler tantrums”, and various other related things.
C.) I don’t really have that much time to read.
That being said, I would really like to make an effort to read more (I’m not sure reading “Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see?” or “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” counts), so instead of mounting the herculean task of reading a book every two weeks, my aim is to read one book every month. This is March, and I’ve read one book, so I’d say I’m pretty much on schedule. 😉
I comprised a list of a few books that I’ve heard a lot of great reviews about or have been wanting to read. While I was making this list I realized that 3 of them are about female comedians, so I guess that must be a trend recently. I also only have 6 books here, as I am going to finish these, then in July my plan is to make a new list and go from there. Baby steps, y’all.
Let me know if you guys have read any of these books, are participating in a book challenge, or have any more suggestions of books I should read. And as always, thank you for reading this blog!


The prophet that is most frequently employed as an example in the Qur'an is the Prophet Musa (Moses) (as). Musa's name is referred to in 34 different suras (chapters). We can find extensive information about the life of Musa in three of the largest suras (al-A'raf, Ta Ha, and al-Qasas). All these suras and verses offer detailed accounts of his difficulties with Pharaoh, beginning in his childhood, the evil conduct of his people and his struggle in communicating the message to them. His unyielding courage under the most stringent circumstances is presented with the intention of being an example to people. In this film we will examine the life of Musa as it is depicted in the Qur'an. We will explore the events he has lived through as it is described. Essentially, the events in the Prophet Musa's life should not be regarded merely as events of the ancient past, but rather as events and examples to shed light to our own lives today.


Book Review: First History Book on Black presidential Appointed U.S. Marshals
Posted By: Robert Moore on December 20, 2011 |
“A book revealing the poignant contributions, crisis, prestige, and resourcefulness of appointed Black U.S. Marshals in America’s history as never done before…”
---Vandella Brown, contributing writer of Writing and Publishing: The Librarian’s Handbook and author of What Is a Zawadi to We? A poetic story celebrating Kwanzaa and gift giving.
The President’s Men: Black United States Marshals in America explodes with new findings about Black U.S. marshals, whose contributions and achievements were once summarized by only two-and-one-half sentences in the official record book about U.S. Marshals. Presidential approved and appointed; the book explains that they were his men to marshal in law enforcement. The book is a twelve years’ research journey by Robert Moore, author, who became the second African-American from Illinois to be appointed to the position of an U.S. Marshal in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.
Unsettled, enraged, shocked and disappointed by the buried history and ignorance of the role of Black U.S.
Marshals in America’s history, Moore uncovers 222 years of history involving politics, public policy, society, race, and presidents, who appointed Black U.S. marshals.
A compendium of information, narratives, interviews, and research, Moore uses photographs, illustrations, and documentations to detail the life and achievements of forgotten, and yet heroic Black U.S. Marshals. Moore highlights, Frederick Douglass, the first African-American to be appointed an U.S. Marshal, to those appointed later by eight other presidents, such as, Richard Nixon, George H. Bush, or Barack Obama. Key law enforcement agendas related to the marshaling in of reconstruction, integration, and social transitions are described in biographical data about the Black marshals.
A book that fills in what history left out. It gives a clear historical picture of the selection of African-American Marshals by Democrat and Republican Parties’ presidents in the 222-year history of these appointments. A history book for all ages, it may be used by libraries, high schools, colleges--for law enforcement studies, Black History, American History courses, and political science instructions.
