Jessica Penot is a best-selling author and Huntsville resident whose writing spans different genres – but all of her work is sure to keep her readers up at night. Focusing on dark fantasy, horror and the paranormal, Penot’s career officially started with a short story published in 2006 entitled “The Stone Queen.” She has since published numerous novels and is currently working on the third and final entry in “The Accidental Witch” series. In addition to her collection of fiction, Penot also established her voice in southern ghost folklore when she published “Haunted North Alabama” and “Haunted Chattanooga.”
Penot is the owner of Tree of Life Behavioral Health in Huntsville where she is also a Licensed Professional Counselor. Tree of Life offers a variety of outpatient services to adults, children, families and couples.
NL: How long have you known that you wanted to be a writer?
JP: I’ve pretty much always wanted to be a writer. I remember I had a journal when I was seven years old and inside of it, I wrote about how I wanted to be a “Riter” when I was older. I read anything I could get my hands on when I was younger whether it was from my parent’s library or wherever. The first horror related books I read were by Anne Rice even though they might not have been appropriate for a 10-year-old to read.
NL: Have there been any real life experiences that you have used for inspiration for your writing?
JP: The first novel I wrote was called “Circe.” The inspiration came from my internship at Searcy State Hospital in Mount Vernon, Alabama. The history of that institution was just insanely fascinating to me and it felt like a sin that no one had written anything about it sooner. I had to do a lot of digging to even come up with any details. Originally it was a fort that was owned by the French, transferred to the Spanish and eventually to the Americans. While I was there, it was a normal state hospital but before that, it was used as a psychiatric hospital for African Americans and during that period, it was home to a lot of atrocities. After I wrote the book, I was contacted by several African American women who were wondering if I could look at the records and find out what had happened to their family members who were sent to Searcy Hospital and never heard from again.
NL: What about locally?
JP: Dead Children’s Playground is legendary here. I also have soft spot for The Lowry House with their room from the Underground Railroad. It’s always fun to see them do the Civil War reenactments there. Both Athens State and UNA both have a lot of Civil War history so the ghost stories just count up as you walk through there. There’s a lot of folklore that is fun and engaging to use for ghost stories.
NL: Is there anything about the writing and publishing industry that is different from how you thought it might be before you became a published author?
JP: When my career began, the country was going through a financial recession after the collapse of the housing market among other things. During that time, a lot of the publishing houses had to shut their doors and some of them were ones that I had sold my books to. That was a rude awakening because since most publishing houses refuse to touch any work that has been previously published, a lot of that work was lost to the wind. But with the way publishing market is changing a lot right now, there is more room for self-publishing and e-books. I’ve thought about taking that route but it’s hard to focus on old works when I’m usually fixated on a new project. So we’ll see.
NL: Do you personally believe in ghosts?
JP: I want to say yes but at the same time there’s the large, rational part of my brain that wants to see proof. It’s one of those things that you have faith in but it’s not necessarily rational. I enjoy telling the stories but at the same time, I wouldn’t be heart-broken if I found out it was all nonsense because I think it’s the stories and the folklore that make the idea wonderful and fun.
NL: When did you first start to venture into non-fiction projects such as “Haunted Northern Alabama?”
JP: Initially, my inspiration was a marketing ploy. My novel “Circe” was about to come out and the biggest thing you can have as a fiction writer is a platform. Since “Circe” was inspired by a supposedly haunted institution in Alabama, I started a blog where I would write one local ghost story a day. Eventually the publishing company approached me and asked if we could turn the stories into a book and I said yes. And it has been really fun.
NL: How does your career in mental health integrate with your writing?
JP: Well, most of my novels have something to do with mental health. “Circe” deals with a psychiatric hospital. “The Accidental Witch” series is about a psychologist who is having trouble helping her patients so she turns to witchcraft. I feel that when I write about mental illness, I’m trying to destroy the stigma that surrounds it because I’m trying to make people real instead of promoting stereotypes. For anyone that works in mental health, you see these people are just individuals who are hurting. Unfortunately, a lot of fiction, especially on T.V., tragically misrepresents mental health.


From the reviews:“This is a valuable, well-written, and comprehensive textbook in hepatology that has the potential to serve as a daily reference and review for practicing gastroenterologists and hepatologists. … It is intended for healthcare providers caring for patients with hepatobiliary diseases … . it is a practical textbook that should be present in any hepatologist’s library, and easily reachable for daily consultation.” (Willem J. S. de Villiers, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2010)
Clinical Hepatology – Principles and Practice of Hepatobiliary Diseases provides clear and comprehensive coverage of the etiology, mechanisms of disease, diagnosis, and practical management of the entire spectrum of liver and biliary disorders. It also affords an excellent, evidence-based review of the rapidly expanding field of hepatobiliary diseases.


For my senior thesis (History 485) I analyzed the 1946 film The Best Years of Our Lives. This thesis explores the relationship of working class women and post-war cinema as they were both expected to mend the traumas of World War II.
Abstract: Production of the 1946 film The Best Years of Our Lives took place over the mobilization of World War II, while it was released during demobilization. The film sees three returning GI’s and their experiences readjusting to civilian life and relationships. The women of the film are Milly, Peggy, Marie, and Wilma and all represent different expectations of post-war American women. This paper aims to explore the ways in which this film would compare to others made both during and after the war and how the distinct uncertainty of 1946 is manifested in its storyline. The first section explores the production of The Best Years of Our Lives, as producer Sam Goldwyn felt this film was important to helping ease American audiences, servicemen and civilian. In doing so Goldwyn implored various methods to ensure this film was done correctly including hiring many veterans for the cast. Goldwyn was working within a strict set of parameters which is explained in the next section. The discussion of censorship and propaganda illustrates how Hollywood promoted ideals to support the war effort and built a relationship with the Roosevelt Administration. Following this is an analysis of women’s roles in the war and how those roles are represented through film. The female characters of The Best Years are explored and compared to women in films later in the decade to illustrate the beginnings of the World War II myth. Exaggerations in femininity and sexuality reflect the anxieties of postwar and pre-Cold War attitudes as well as place greater significance on men in the war and machoism. The conclusion is a discussion of World War II in the American memory as the Good War and how a film like The Best Years contributed to the myth. America’s insistence to retreat from wartime internationalism and the emergence of the Cold War is the final discussion as The Best Years would find itself blacklisted for being communist propaganda until the beginning of the Korean War.


The book explores some of the interconnections between art, activism and the business concept of disruptive innovation. With a backdrop of the crisis of financial capitalism, austerity cuts in the cultural sphere, the idea is to focus on potential art strategies in relation to a broken economy. In a perverse way, we ask whether this presents new opportunities for cultural producers to achieve more autonomy over their production process? If it is indeed possible or desirable, what alternative business models emerge? The book is concerned broadly with business as (artistic) material for reinvention, including critical writing and examples of art/activist projects.
The contributors to DATA browser 05: DISRUPTING BUSINESS address these questions at the intersection art, activism and the business concept of disruptive innovation.

This is truly the be all end all of adventure travel books.
The inspiration for Ewan and Charley's Long way round/down journeys and probably countless others.
Ted quits his job as a journalist and heads out on a four year and 63000 mile journey around the world and as this is taking place in the 70's it is a vastly different world out there than the one we have today.
Or as he himself so eloquently puts it in a passage in the book: How was I to know the world was about to change, I hadn't been there yet.
As a full-time cynic the quasi-philosophical parts of the book makes this a bit of a hard read at times but as it was written in the late 70's I guess you can't really blame him for being a child of his time.
An inspirational epic journey and must read for any aspiring motorcycle adventurer.


Other Events Across the County
(programmes of local groups and societies)
Although every effort is made to keep this list up to date, changes sometimes have to be made to published programmes by local history groups and we are not always made aware of them. In addition, a lot of history societies are postponing their programme of talks at the moment due to the Coronavirus. We therefore strongly recommend double-checking with individual societies before attending one of these events, to avoid disappointment. You will be able to find contact details for these societies on our 'OTHER SOCIETIES' webpage, or by an internet search.

The Parasitic Mind - Book Notes
Jordan’s Book Notes - Series #1
The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense
Written by Gad Saad (Publication: October 6th, 2020)
"Unlike other pandemics where biological pathogens are to blame, the current culprit is a collection of bad ideas, spawned on university campuses, that chip away at our edifices of reason, freedom, and individual dignity. This book identifies these idea pathogens, discusses their spread from the universities to all walks of life including politics, business, and popular culture, and offers ways to inoculate ourselves from their devastating effects." - Gad Saad.
Gad Saad is a Lebanese-Canadian evolutionary psychologist and professor at Concordia University who applies evolutionary psychology to marketing and consumer behavior fields. He has dedicated much of his life to studying how evolutionary psychology affects modern marketing strategies to better understand people's motivation factors. In other words, understanding the science behind decision making. Saad is a parasitologist of the human mind who seeks to pull people out of the class of destructive ideas that destroy our capacity to reason. He believes that we may have fallen into an abyss of "infinite lunacy", but that it is not too late to grab hold of the rope of reason and hoist ourselves back into the warm light of logic, science, and common sense.
Saad's most recent work, "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense", is a provocative guide to defending reason and individual freedom but is also a battle cry for the preservation of our fundamental rights. He articulates that the west's commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than they are today by the stifling forces of political correctness. He effectively exposes what he calls "idea pathogens" and how they are killing necessary activities of common sense and rational debate.
"Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms, including freedom of thought and speech."
I just recently finished reading this book, cover to cover, and it was an academic explosion. Saad didn't hold back much. He also didn't belittle the reader by avoiding big words or scientific jargon. He spoke to the reader as if we are just as intellectually capable of digesting heavy topics as he is. He analyzes a wide array of melancholy psychological concepts for a living. Or what some may call "controversial" or "sensitive" topics. So, if you're looking for a pick-me-up read, this isn't it. On the contrary, if you're in the mood to expand your mind and push it to its limits, this will fit the bill.
I really resonated with Saad's ability to hop from one example to another. Although he showed some amount of proper emotional appeal, it was not overpowering. Throughout all chapters, he focused on the task at hand, which was to expose, and most importantly, back up the claims of idea pathogens that now "wreak havoc" on America and the world. And he did it with grace and class. I share two characteristics with Saad: 1. love for freedom and truth & 2. practicing skepticism. Both of these qualities can be beautiful when appropriately managed, and I believe that all things, including philosophical concepts, are to be moderated.
Overall, I learned so much from reading through Dr. Saad's enlightening examples from his own experiences, colleagues' experiences, and the incredible amount of scientific research he has put in over several decades throughout his career. If you are interested in giving the book a shot, I would recommend going into it with a completely open mind. To put it lightly, Saad does not sugar-coat a single thing. There are dozens of seemingly controversial arguments that he addresses while refraining from "political correctness". He comes from a place of presenting factual evidence obtained through research methods and then supports his claims with more personable exemplifications. Dr. Saad's goal is to guide the reader towards perceiving tough topics through a different lens, and I believe he succeeds at it.
Some more quotes that caught my attention:
- "There is a bidirectional relationship between truth and freedom, such that the truth will set you free, and only in being free can one aspire to uncover the truth." (John: 8:32)
- The quest for truth should always supersede one's ego-defensive desire to be proven right."
- "The view of many in the world right now is that the world is binary: you are either a noble victim (even if you have to make it up) or a disgusting (even if you've never been one)."
- "Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome (OPS) is defined as disordered thinking that prevents people from recognizing the truth."
- "A fair society ensures that its members have equality of opportunities and not equality of outcomes--as mandated by the DIE edicts."
- "The idea pathogens discussed in this book stem from, if not totally from, leftists academics and their institutions. For most academics, the road to glory requires a commitment to hyper-specialization. Instead of generalism."
- "Postmodernism, radical feminism, cultural relativism, identity politics, and the rest of the academic nonsense were not developed and promulgated by right-wing zealots."
- "Get engaged in the battle for reason and freedom of thought and speech. Your voice matters. Use it."
- Saad, Gad. The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense. Regnery Publishing, 2020.

Tirée par les cheveux, the confession book of Lisa Bettini
What would you say about never feeling alone in your lonely moments again ? It’s the challenge of Lisa Bettini’s book, Tirée par les cheveux. A collection of little stories from everyday life written with a lot of humour !
Her first book
Sent on land to represent Corsica in Paris, she quickly made a place for herself in the advertising world. After a few years at Publicis, she turned to the media world, especially the press and TV. Lisa Bettini joined the editorial staff of Canal+, the Cannes Film Festival. She also writes for Marie-Claire and presents her daily column on the regional channel of France Télévision.
Between one thing and the other, the plane that takes her from Ajaccio to Paris has become familiar. She takes the opportunity to write her mood tickets which, with time, end up piling up in her bag until she can’t find her keys. From there came the desire to unpack everything, and to set to music his little pieces of paper to make a funny and inventive collection.
A book full of little news and stories that happened to her and that could have happened to you. “Shameful” passages in our lives, moments when we feel alone… just to never be alone again!” That’s the whole bet of Tirée par les cheveux.
But to see the light of day, this amazing book needs your support. A Ulule campaign was launched to finance the publication of her first book. Here is a little taste of her writing 😉


Alternative Format Policy and Procedure
- Register with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) by following the appropriate procedures.
- Provide the ODS with appropriate documentation validating the request for materials in alternative formats.
- Request your accommodation letter within the AIM database and specifically state which alternative format is needed for each individual course.
- Complete and submit the Reading Materials Form located within the AIM database under Alternative Formats. This form must be submitted for each text need. If you are requesting a textbook, it is vital that you include the title, ISBN, publisher, author, and edition. Students can find this information from the Texas State University Bookstore or on the course syllabus.
- Since the time it takes to find or convert a document will depend on a variety of factors, requests for textbooks and/or course materials in alternative formats should be made as soon as possible. Failure to notify the ODS within a timely manner may mean that the ODS is unable to arrange the services with the time provided, but will not:
a. Prevent the student from making the request, or
b. Prevent the ODS making its best effort to provide the service in a timely manner.
*Please Note: The ODS can provide alternative formats in either electronic texts or Braille. Because many materials are available in digital formats, the time frame for the ODS to find and provide the requested electronic text may vary depending on the publisher. Braille materials will take even more time due to the complexity and size of the original text. Therefore, it is essential for students to submit their requests as soon as possible to allow the ODS to obtain and/or convert the requested texts.
- Purchase or rent a copy of each textbook or course packet for which an alternative format is requested. Provide the ODS with a copy of the receipt to validate proof of purchase. (This action is a copyright requirement. Alternative formats cannot be provided to a student who has not purchased the text).
- Provide the ODS with any supplemental assigned readings provided by your instructor. Ensure the professors are aware that the quality of original materials is essential to successful document conversions. Inform them that if they have questions, they can contact the ODS.
- If the ODS is not able to find the textbook in an alternative format, then you may provide the office with a copy of the textbook you need so the ODS can convert it.
a. The ODS will unbind the book and convert it into an electronic format.
b. The ODS will not be responsible for re-binding the book.
c. The ODS cannot unbind a rented textbook and convert it.
d. Provide the ODS with a copy of the course syllabus for each course in which document conversions are requested so the ODS can ensure it is providing you with the converted material in the order it is needed.
e. *Please Note: If the ODS is unable to find the textbook, and you do not wish for the textbook to be converted, then the ODS will consider the requested to be cancelled.
- Notify the ODS immediately if there are any changes in the status of a request, class schedules, course requirements, alternative format needs, if some or all the readings for a course are no longer needed, or if the course is dropped.
- Most electronic texts will be provided via email links through the File Transfer system. If the material provided is a Bookshare product, the ODS will send an email with information about how to access the assigned materials via the ODS Bookshare site. For those who need to obtain physical materials (i.e., Braille or large print), please come to the ODS to retrieve those materials.
- Inform the ODS if there are any problems with the alternative formats.
- Verify that a student who requests alternative formats is registered with the ODS and eligible to receive this accommodation.
- Train students to fill out the Reading Materials Form when necessary.
- Verify proof of purchase of any texts when necessary.
- Acquire or create an alternative format of the text(s) requested in a timely manner. Every effort will be made to find textbooks that are already available in accessible formats. The ODS reserves the right to provide students with other types of alternative formats as necessary to provide access.
- Contact the student to inform them that the alternative format is available and how they should acquire it.
- Assist with problem resolution if the student experiences difficulties in accessing or using the format provided.
- Collect any Braille or large print materials on loan to the student by the last day of finals in the semester.
Copyrighted materials provided or reproduced in an accessible format by the ODS for a student with a disability may not be copied, shared, distributed, or sold, except in accordance with the provisions of the copyright laws.
I hereby certify that I have received, read, and agree to abide by the Alternative Format Policy and Procedure.
I agree that I will not copy or reproduce alternative format materials nor allow anyone else to do so pursuant to the requirements of the Copyright Revision Act of 1976 as amended (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) and the Texas State University Student Handbook Computer Software Use Policy. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in violations of federal or state law and university policy.
I understand that this agreement will remain in effect as long as I am a student at Texas State University.


We’ve all been asked the dreaded “where do you see yourself in five years” question, with the honest answer usually being either “I have no idea” or a lofty list of goals we hope to accomplish, but have little to no clue how to achieve them. The future is rarely as we project it to be. It is more rare that we have the opportunity to reflect in the other direction; to take time to be proud of our accomplishments.
When someone asked me right around this time five years ago, at IUB graduation, where I saw myself in five years, my one sure goal was to publish a grammar of Bangime. The path to accomplishing this goal was far more difficult and unexpected than I ever would have imagined, and yet, as today I have received this fulfillment of a dream, I wanted to share the great news with you in hopes that you also find satisfaction from this shared achievement.
This cover could have been filled with names that have contributed to this description of Bangime, especially those of the speakers themselves, but first among them, the book is dedicated to Stefan Elders and his family. Although I never had the opportunity to meet him, I felt as though I lived a part of his life there among the cliffs in Bounou. If not for his six tough months of living in Bounou, recording the complexities of Bangime, this book would never had been possible. Please encourage your libraries to purchase a copy. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go back to the Bangime-speaking community.

Veterinary Statistics Book (2014) The Books of the With the exception of the other three books in this series, I have always been able to read well by reading the entire series. I’ve always been able, however, to read as few books as possible. For this book I’ve included the most recent book. I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy read after a while. It’s a hard book, but I guess I wouldn’t have wanted to go through it anyway. This book is an easy read, but I’m not sure it was the right book for me. A few things to note: For the time being, I’ve been reading the entire book. The first two other in the series have had a lot of time, but when I look at the last two books in this book I think I’ll be able to pick up on them. When I read the first book, I thought the first two books were pretty good. This book, though, has yet to be played out the way I would like it to be. I’ve done the book in about two days, and it’s not as bad as I would like. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. I’ve read about five or six different books, and I’m not too happy with the one I’ve read because I don’t want the book to go into the same ground. The second book is a little more difficult. As I mentioned, I’ve read the first two of my books and I don’t think it’s a good book. So I hope that by the time I read the third book in the series, the book will be as good as it has been. It’s also worth noting that the last two of the books in this, the third, are not great. The first book, the first two (which are not terribly bad) are good because they’re both good. The third book, the third two (which is a little better), is a little too good because the last two are the worst. Speaking of bad books, I’m not going to share anything on the books because I’m sure they have a lot of bad ones.

I’m going to write them out in the order they are written, but I want to make sure I get them right. This is a really good book. I’m not a fan of the book that it is supposed to be. The book is supposed to tell the story of the book and the story of visite site it was written. The book was written right, and I was hoping to make it right and that it would be good. I’m grateful to anyone who’s ever read it, and I hope they’re happy with it. Of course, I’m happy with the books. I’ve been trying to read books a lot since I started my first series. I tried to read the first five books, but I don’t know what they’re supposed to be called, so I guess I’ll have to find out. I’m also happy with the majority of what other people read, though. The other books I read last week were all awful. They’re some of the worst. I think it’s because of the way they’re written: They’re not as good as I would’ve felt. I’m really not sure that this series was written right. The next book is a combination of theVeterinary Statistics Booklet The Booklet is a booklet by the British author, Andy Rolfe.

In the first book, the author writes an essay about the history of the story of how the American submarine sank. In the second book, the writer wrote a number of other essays. For the first chapter, the author describes the history of his submarine, and the name of the submarine to which he is going to go after that history. The letter “S” in the book suggests that the submarine went to sea, but does not mention the name of his “captain”. The book presents some of the most interesting and helpful information about the submarine I have seen so far. “The Great War” is a story by David Warner of an interview with the American historian, Charles B. Hecht. It is about a submarine that was sunk by a submarine, but the author describes how he and the submarine became separated. Hecht states that the submarine was just about to be sunk when the submarine broke free from the water. The submarine was very angry, and the author describes it in the book. Hechts states that the captain took the submarine into the chopper before he was sure of Extra resources and then he was afraid that the submarine might be too late to rescue him. He also mentions that the submarine had been torpedoed by the submarine, and that the captain had been looking for the submarine, but there was no sign of the ship. He claims that the submarine’s captain had been in the submarine’s hold almost a year before the submarine sank, and sent a message to the captain, saying that the submarine “was not yet in position to do the rescue of the submarine.” Hecht’s reference to the submarine’s name “D-II” (a name that has been used in the description of the submarine’s identity to date) is from the story of a conversation he had with an American historian in the early 1940s. He states that the name D-II is from a book about a submarine. On the day of the submarine sinking, the author is about to tell his story, and later is going to read the book, to write a version of the story he is about to publish, and to tell the story of what he is up to. HechtsVeterinary Statistics Book The National Statistics Book, which was first published in 1961, is a collection of more than 300,000 statistical books written by authors from the United States of America.

How do we build movements across identities & tactics?
How do we harness the current political unrest and demands for change within the borders of Canada and across the globe to ensure lasting victories for marginalized communities?
This event will bring long time community organizers into conversation about building resistance against cuts, about creating social justice.
From the Quebec student strike to organizing against austerity in Toronto, this discussion will focus on why building inclusive movements makes struggles for social justice more meaningful and effective.
A.J. Withers is the author of Disability Politics and Theory, an accessible and radical history of disability and proposal for moving disability politics forward. A longtime organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, A.J. has worked to make the left more accessible and the disability movement more left for years. A.J. is also the author of the If I Can’t Dance is it Still My Revolution zine series and website.
Lesley Wood is the author of Direct Action, Deliberation, and Diffusion: Collective Action after the WTO Protests in Seattle, an in-depth examination of political organizing in New York and Toronto. Lesley is a long-time community organizer in anti-poverty and anti-globalization movements and an Associate Professor of Sociology. She is also a regional editor for the international, peer-reviewed, online journal Interface, a journal for and about social movements.
Mostafa Henaway is a Montreal based organizer who works with the Immigrant Worker’s Center, is a freelance journalist and has been involved in the Quebec student strike.
About A.J. Withers’ Disability Politics and Theory:
An accessible introduction to disability studies, Disability Politics and Theory provides a concise survey of disability history, exploringthe conc ept of disability as it has been conceived from the late 19th century to the present. Further, A.J. Withers examines when, how and why new categories of disability are created and describes how capitalism benefits from and enforces disabled people’s oppression. Critiquing the model that currently dominates the discipline, the social model of disability, this book offers an alternative: the radical disability model. This model builds on the social model but draws from more recent schools of radical thought, particularly feminism and critical race theory, to emphasize the role of intersecting oppressions in the marginalization of disabled people and the importance of addressing disability both independently and in conjunction with other oppressions. Intertwining theoretical and historical analysis with personal experience this book is a poignant portrayal of disabled people in Canada and the U.S. — and a radical call for social and economic justice.
• Examines disability history from about 1865 to present
• Explains different understandings (models) of disability in Canada and the United States
• Describes how and why the medical industrial complex holds so much power over disabled people
• Interrogates the role of charity in constructing and profiting off of disabled people
• Examines disability protest history
• Proposes new ways of moving disability politics forward.
About Lesley Wood’s Direct Action, Deliberation, and Diffusion: Collective Action after the WTO Protests in Seattle:
What are the micro-level interactions and conversations that underlie successful and failed diffusion? By comparing the spread of direct action tactics from the 1999 Global Justice Movement protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle to grassroots activists in Toronto and New York, Lesley Wood argues that dynamics of deliberation among local activists both aided and blocked diffusion. To analyze the localization of this cycle of protest, the research brings together rich ethnography, interviews, social network analysis, and catalogs of protest events. The findings suggest that when diverse activists with different perspectives can discuss innovations in a reflexive, egalitarian manner, they are more likely to make strategic and meaningful choices.
• Explains what happened to the global justice movement after the Seattle protests
• Explains how diffusion works by comparing the spread of four protest tactics to activists in Toronto and New York City
• Is an ‘insider’ look at direct action movements
• Shows how protest tactics travel to new places and links meeting dynamics with street tactics

Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-born anarchist known for her political activism, writing, and speeches. She was lionized as a free-thinking "rebel woman" by admirers, and derided as an advocate of politically-motivated murder and violent revolution by her critics. Goldman played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in the United States and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Although she distanced herself from first-wave feminism and its efforts toward women's suffrage, she developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into anarchism. She spoke and wrote on a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, and free love. After decades of obscurity, Goldman's iconic status was revived in the 1970s, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest about her life.
Born to an Orthodox Jewish
family which forbid her from further education, Goldman read voraciously and educated herself about the politics of her time. She moved to New York
in the United States
at the age of sixteen, married briefly in 1887, and moved to New York City
. Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket Riot
, Goldman was trained by Johann Most
in public speaking and became a renowned lecturer, attracting crowds of thousands. She also became the lover of Alexander Berkman
, who became her lifelong intimate friend and comrade. Together they planned unsuccessfully to assassinate Henry Clay Frick
, as an act of propaganda of the deed
. Goldman herself was imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. Goldman published an anarchist journal called Mother Earth
. Following her deportation to Russia in 1919, Goldman lived in England
, and France
, before eventually traveling to Spain
to participate in that nation's civil war
. She died in Toronto
on 14 May 1940

This is a transcription of another tasteful solo by Joe Locke on the standard "You Don't Know What Love Is" by De Paul/Raye. It is from a duo recording entitled But Beautiful with pianist Kenny Barron, which dates back to 1991. I've posted another transcription from this same recording for the tune "On A Misty Night", as well as a transcription fro a trio version of "You Don't Know What Love Is" from 1994. The playing (compared to Joe's present standard) is much simpler, making it a great resource for students to get introduced to Joe's early vocabulary, strongly informed by Bebop players. The transcription contains the standard changes, but Joe uses some common reharmonizations, for example on bars 9-10 of the A section, which I've left up for the students to identify. Enjoy.


Books on the state of the oceans – the World Ocean Review
Between 2009 and 2017, I wrote the first five volumes of the World Ocean Review (WOR) – a global status report on the state of the oceans – for Hamburg-based maribus foundation, each containing around 200 pages. Working on the five editions on topics such as „Fisheries“, „Coasts“ and „Raw materials“ demanded stamina and an enormous depth of research from me like no job before. Each WOR involves around one and a half years of work, numerous interviews with researchers and the study of dozens of specialist articles. It was with a heavy heart that I decided to stop working on WOR in 2017 in order to have more time for other ideas and projects. Sina Löschke took over the baton and has now completed the first WORs on topics like „Arctic and Antarctic“. A huge thank you to Jan Lehmköster from maribus for the many years of friendly collaboration and to Nikolaus Gelpke for his trust!.


Friday afternoon I took a drive to Luck but I detoured through Balsam Lake, Wisconsin. I had read an article about the Polk County Historical Society and their Museum and had decided I was overdue for visit there. The Old Courthouse has been turned into the museum and the volunteers have really done an unbelievable job of creating displays of the many different facets of the folks who have lived in Polk County. I was particularly interested to see the Old courtroom and while most of the space has been divided up into displays, the Judges Bench and library is still intact.
II spent an hour in the museum, which was barely enough time to go through the 3 floors, just to get an idea of what is there. I'd like to go back again and really see what I can see. I know very little about the history of the county outside of the area near Luck where I spent my childhood. It's important to preserve the past, these folks have captured a lot of history in that old building.

Is There a Latino In This Room? 30 Years of Latinidad in Canadian Filmmaking.
Author: Elena Feder
Elena Feder is an independent scholar, theorist, critic and curator of film and media arts. She holds an M.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of British Columbia and an M.A. in Spanish and Portuguese and PhD in Comparative Literature from Stanford University. In addition to teaching, she has curated programs and organized conferences both nationally and internationally with the support of both the Canada and British Columbia Councils For the Arts, and is the author of many articles published in magazines, academic journals and book collections. Elena was Humanities Fellow of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and is the founder and Executive Director of Error! Contact not defined. Society for the Advancement of Arts and Culture. Born in Bolivia, she currently resides in Vancouver.
My presence here today is the product of a long and fruitful collaboration between academic and art practices, perhaps not as rare in Latin America, but quite unusual in a Canadian context. It began as far back as 1999, in Vancouver, where I organized a citywide project under the rubric of Nations, Pollinations and Dislocations: Changing Imaginary Borders in the Americas . 1 The research goals underpinning that project were, first, to identify the artists, filmmakers and institutions involved in defining, in both the private and public spheres, new coordinates for a diasporic identity formation specific to the Americas from a Canadian perspective; second, to tease out the historical and aesthetic differences between Canadian Latinø filmmakers and their U.S. counterparts; 2 and, third, to situate the work of the former in the context of current debates about the changing nature of Latin American identity, and of notions of identity as a whole, in the multifaceted context of globalization. 3
1 The project was possible thanks to the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Canada and British Columbia Arts Councils, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr College of Art and Design, Pacific Cinematheque Pacifique, Video In and Video Out, the Western Front, the Mexican and Chilean embassies, and a number of local businesses and individuals too large to list individually here.
2 I use the neologism Latinø rather than the more common and cumbersome Latino/a as a marker of difference. Imported from yet another alphabet, the letter "Ø" thus stands here as a marker of a politics and a poetics of deconstruction always already underpinned by gender and difference--in the philosophical sense of meanings that are both "different" and "deferred," and in the sense of multi-faceted social, political, economic, historical and cultural contexts that serve difference and deferral as backdrop and ground.

When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, he left an empire that stretched from the shores of the Adriatic to the mountains of Afghanistan. This empire did not survive Alexander's death, and rapidly broke into several successor states. These states, substantial kingdoms in their own right, dominated Asia Minor, Greece, the Levant and Egypt for the next three hundred years. While Philip Matyszak's narrative covers their remarkable contribution of the Eastern Greeks in fields such as philosophy, science and culture, the main focus is on the rivalry, politics and wars, both civil and foreign, which the Hellenistic rulers constantly fought among themselves. As in other fields, the Successor Kingdoms were innovators in the military and diplomatic field. Indeed, their wars and diplomatic skirmishes closely presage those of eighteenth century Europe and the superpower rivalries of the twentieth century. The complex interaction of these different kingdoms, each with its own character and evolving military systems, combined geopolitics and grand strategy with diplomatic duplicity, and relentless warfare. The epic story of the successor states is full of flawed heroes, palace intrigue, murder, treachery, incest, rebellion and conquest.

Edited by Ann Beattie
published in 2 volumes
by Library of America
Not quite sure what Peter Matthew Hillsman Taylor (1917–1994) would have thought of social media — he was not overly fond of, you know, machines — but he loved being social. So here is a digital gathering of information about him, his fiction and about fiction writer Ann Beattie, who edited the new publication of his stories from Library of America.
Peter Taylor won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1987 for his novel A Summons to Memphis. He wrote two other novels: A Woman of Means (1950) and In the Tennessee Country (1994), as well as three books of plays. However, he was most known, at least among other writers, for his short stories. He wrote about what he knew: Tennessee and other parts of the American South, largely in the early-to-mid twentieth century. As story tellers should be, he was a great listener, and he surprised people with how much he knew about all the different parts of this world.
I am his son, Ross Taylor. I live in the Washington, DC, area with my family. I will be updating the Calendar of Events page with information about readings, conferences, bookstore appearances and other happenings related to this book, my father’s work in general and editor Ann Beattie. I will also update the Press page with reviews, articles, interviews and blog posts that are relevant. Finally I hope to add lots of images and even some scanned letters and other documents on the Posts page. This is meant to be a source of reliable, fairly comprehensive information about the Library of America volumes, but in some ways it is also my fan page for my father and Ms. Beattie. And I’m a big fan.


Wentzville Missouri History
A rare map from 1851 shows the area of St. Charles County, Missouri, before it was created. A new book on Wentzville's history offers readers a little-known account of the city's early history. The early photos in the book show horses and wagons tied together in rustic-looking buildings such as the old post office and the town hall. This map showed the location of the first church, the First United Methodist Church, at the corner of Main and Main Streets.
Tobacco stencils illustrate the economy before tobacco consumption in Wentzville, Missouri, in the early 20th century. The Liggett-Myers Tobacco Company was founded by men from the Wentzville area, according to the book's description.
The movement prompted slave owners in Western St. Charles County to abandon tracts of land along the railroad line to build stations for local communities. Mr. Allen presented a plan for a city that consisted of a station on the East-West rail line that ran between the city of Wentzville and the city of Kansas City, Missouri, about a mile south.
Not far from this small row of houses stood an old stone house built in 1885 by Nathan Boone, who was known for his father Colonel. His son Nathan's house was made of stone and was two stories high and stood there until 1890.
It was built in 1855 by Wm. M. Allen and contained a school, a wagon factory and four shops. In 1856, J. A. Davis built it, and it contained two houses, a shop and a church, as well as a house for his son Fred Davis.
Wentzville's slogan was "the crossroads of the nation" because it was at the intersection of two major highways, the Missouri River and the Mississippi River that crossed it. It was also in the middle of a major rail corridor, making it a convenient stop - away from the place for travellers.
Wentzville hosted the annual St. Gerard County Parade (also known as the Black Parade) on the grounds of the county fairgrounds. It was also famous for being the first and only base of the US Army Corps of Engineers in the state of Missouri.
Visitors can visit the restored homes of the St. Gerard County Historical Society and the Wentzville Museum of American History. It is located on the west side of the city, just south of Interstate 70, and is one of only a handful of historic homes in Missouri.
The Dortmund property is located on flat land formed by a stream that flows into the Missouri River, about three kilometers south of the city of Dortmund.
French hunters gave the name Les Petittes, which means "little hills," and the Indians gave the name of Portage de la Sioux. French settlers took over, and in the same autumn Louis Blanchette, surnamed Chasseur, was granted land. The first white settlement in St. Louis was built here, and tents were erected on the site of the "Portage des Sioux." The railroad passed through the Missouri, bringing settlers and furnishings to the few who were already resident in the new area.
American Indians also served as guides and messengers in wagons, offering game and other supplies to travelers. In fact, they regularly helped the settlers cross the plain, and many of them began to build their farms in the West. Although some settlers lost their lives in attacks by American Indians, this was not the norm, as they lost their entire lives to them.
With so many newcomers migrating west, the federal government entered into a contract with the Indians limiting them to a limited amount of land reserved exclusively for their use, while being able to give more land to non-Indian settlers. Under the treaty, they accepted limited territory, agreed never to attack settlers, allowed the government to build tracks and forts throughout the territory, and agreed never to attack them. In return, they committed not only to respect the boundaries of the tribal areas, but also to make all payments to the Indians.
The first stretch stretched about 6 1 / 2 miles from southwest of Annada to the Mississippi west of Mozier, IL. In 1851, to allay concerns, the US government held a conference with several local Indian tribes and established the Treaty of Fort Laramie. After hearing complaints from some local tribes about the lack of access to their territory and the fact that thousands of non-Indians were allowed to flood the region, they conveyed the government's assurances set out in Treat at Fort Laramies.
The second impact of the tornado occurred around 12: 10 a.m. on the morning of July 2, 1851, in the city of Annada, IL. The tornado caused significant damage and then damaged a home in Annapolis and a house in St. Louis County. It went further south, along Solidarity Drive, which is near the Franklin and Jefferson county lines, and further west to the Mississippi.

Woodstock Sentinel Review Article December 1, 2014
Woodstock author publishes a book with a message.
The message I want to get out there is that as parents and guardians we need to encourage our children. We need to get back to basics and tell our children how important and special they are in our lives.”
A Woodstock poet has released a children’s book that offers children “positive affirmation about themselves.”
“I just wanted to put a book out there that was motivating for children and uplifting,” said Natalie Wood. “Children are our future, and we need to show them positive reinforcement.”
Wood, a longtime Woodstock resident who works at Domestic Abuse Ser vices Oxford and St. Mary’s Catholic High School, said she began writing again about two years ago after a long hiatus.
“I enjoy writing. Years ago I used to write poems and songs,” she said.
Her most recent works have taken the form of poetr y , including a poem written after the death of her father and another for her son’s marriage.
Originally written as a poem, she decided to turn The Alphabet of Love into a children’s book and self- published it through AuthorHouse.
In The Alphabet of Love, each letter of the alphabet represents a positive affirmation for the young reader “coming from the perspective of adult or parent.”
“It’s exciting; it’s overwhelming,” Wood said of publishing her first book. “The message I want to get out there is that as parents and guardians we need to encourage our children. We need to get back to basics and tell our children how important and special they are in our lives.”
Next year, the book will be travelling to international book fairs as far away as China and Germany.
The Alphabet of Love can be purchased at Merrifield Book Shop or online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Chapters.
A book signing will take place at Merrifield Book Shop on Dec. 13 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
The hardcover version of the book is $32 while the soft cover is $24, taxes included.


Between Dekalb Avenue, Hall Street, Willoughby and Classon Avenues, there are more than fifty sculptures on view outside all year for free. Pratt Institute’s Sculpture Park has been growing since a 1926 memorial was commissioned to honor the students serving in World War I. Since 1998 it’s been curated by David Weinrib, a sculptor and artist who was a resident potter at Black Mountain College’s first Crafts Institute in 1952. Eighteen years after founding the sculpture garden, Weinrib passed away in February 2016 at the age of 91. “I liken the Sculpture Park to a symphony,” he once said, “our challenge is to bring all of the parts in harmony.”
When I first stepped on campus to start their master’s program in the fall of 2015, it seemed too perfect—ArtAround documents public art and here there’s a goldmine. When I found out the school offered a Graduate Student Engagement Grant, I applied for ArtAround. Now, those fifty-plus works are all on the ArtAround map, categorized by area for easy access:
- Dekalb x Hall: In front of the library
- Hall x Willoughby: Behind the library
- Willoughby Entrance: At Ryerson Gate
- Newman Mall: Between Grand Ave & Ryerson St
- Steuben Hall: Between Steuben St & Grand Ave
Mark di Suvero’s “Jive” nearly reaches the top of the library it sits behind. And Donald Lipski’s 1996 piece “F.R.S.B” looks like a simple circle until you realize it’s made of shovels. Another highlight is Philip Grausman’s “Leucantha,” an elegant portrait that the artist describes as a landscape, the surface perfected to create hills and valleys within the woman’s face. The oldest work on campus is “Blade,” a 1971 piece by Jack Youngerman, an abstract 20th century artist whose work was inspired by Henri Matisse.
Find all the artworks in Pratt Institute’s Sculpture Park, and add new artwork you find anywhere to help us expand our database. We’re still working out the kinks in our new and improved (/improving!) web and iOS applications, so if you encounter an error when viewing or uploading artworks, let us know.
A huge thank you to the Pratt Graduate Student Engagement Fund Committee for the funds to bring the school’s expansive sculpture garden to the ArtAround map. The locations of the artworks change from year to year, so if you’re reading this post in the future and you notice there’s something new or different, add to or edit the map to help us document the art that shapes our public spaces.
To let people know these works are online, I’ll be at Pratt’s Alumni Day on Saturday, handing out maps in front of the library. Stop by and grab a sticker!


With Christmas shopping winding down (or in my husband’s case, just starting), I am still on the look out for good children’s books. When it comes to finding accurate agriculture books, that are also interesting, the search can be difficult. Here is a list of a few books I find particularly good for dairy. Also, if you are interested in shopping local Finney Company (a publisher right here in Lakeville) is having a sale this week. Al Krysan, president, told me that some of his books are 80% off.
A good list of accurate ag books is the MN Ag in the Classroom Book Bundle List. Even though this list is not all inclusive it is a good start when looking for children’s books. Our family favorites are: Fantastic Farm Machines, Out and About at the Dairy Farm, and Extra Cheese Please. Some nondairy favorites of ours are: Tops and Bottoms and The Tree Farmer. You can purchase all of these from Finney Company.


This body of work continues my previous exploration of the representation of “the girl” as a particular figure in American society. But what is a “girl”? And how does she come to understand herself outside of the preconceived notions of society? What are the demands and constrictions that she faces? And how does she find joy in spite of them? What are the high school experiences of a girl? And how do those experiences prepare her for a world organized against her? How does she relate, show love, and respect towards others? How can we celebrate girls’ shared experiences, resilience, and resistance in the face of crises that have become ordinary? And how does all of this change in relation to Blackness?

I recently finished up the lower sleeve of this wolf and eagle mandala tattoo
Finished leg sleeve on Alex Chu.. check out his website knowluxe.com


In 2008 I was working at the Lambeth Conference, in Canterbury. When not on duty I had lots of time for reading, and the nature of the event provided for a wealth of booksellers, with lots of interesting stuff on Christian spirituality and practice.
One of the books I picked up was Brian McLaren's 'Finding our way again-the return of the Ancient Practices' which looked at seven spiritual practices that Christians have followed from the beginning (building on Jewish practices). The whole purpose of the book is explained in the first chapter, that Brian feels that as followers of Jesus we need to “rediscover our faith as a way of life, not simply as a system of belief”. These spiritual practices are also followed by people of other faiths, and give a vital interface for dialogue and sharing.. The seven practices are: a rhythm of prayer, observing 'Sabbath' rest, fasting, the sacred meal, pilgrimage, the liturgical year and tithing.
The intention of the publisher was to release a book for each theme over the next couple of years, as part of 'The Ancient Practices series'. I noticed that the book on the first of the seven had also been published, so I bought a copy of 'In Constant Prayer' as well, so that I could see if the series lived up to the introductory book.
And so I was introduced to the world and the writing of Robert Benson…


Bobby Seale Biography, Net Worth 2020, Salary, Age, Weight & Career
Robert George Seale is an author and political activist from the United States. He was also a top-flight sheet metal mechanic at American aerospace companies at the time.
Early Life of Bobby Seale
Bobby Seale was born in Liberty, Texas on the 22nd of October, 1936. He was the carpenter’s son and the homemaker’s daughter, George Seale and Thelma Seale. His family was poor when he was growing up. In his early years, he had a lot of obligations and challenges because he was his family’s hope.
Later, the family moved to Oakland, California, where he spent the majority of his boyhood. He went to “Berkeley High School” when he was eight years old. In 1955, he dropped out of school and joined the “American Airforce.” Later, in 1958, he was court-martialed at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, for fighting with the commander. The incident resulted in a reprimand for inappropriate behavior.
Seale worked as a sheet metal mechanic at aerospace companies during the day while studying for his diploma at night. He studied engineering and politics at “Merritt Community College” after completing his high school graduation. During his high school years, he worked hard to pay for his college education.

Black Panther is a superhero film that was released in
Since its founding in 1966, the Black Panther Party has had a worldwide impact that extends beyond the formation of care groups for the organization. Activists in Australian urban communities, for example, incorporated the work of members of the Black Panther Party into their social movements. The oppressed Dalits in India mimicked the Black Panthers’ speech patterns, and representatives from the Vietnamese National Liberation Front, dubbed the Yellow Panthers, used the organization as a model as well.
Closer to the United States, the Bahamas’ Vanguard Party firmly contemplated the Black Panther Party, drew on its political philosophy, and adopted its insignia. It distributed the paper Vanguard, whose extension and organization mirrored the Black Panther Party’s paper, Black Panther, in order to design its activity program.
Bobby Jones and Huey Newton
Bobby and Huey were the original founders of the “Black Panther Party” in 1966. The practice of watching police officers and their brutality acts against the black community was the impetus for the formation of the party. The initiative began in Oakland, California, and was later followed by other states and towns around the country.
The Platform of Ten Points
The ten-point platform was developed in collaboration with Huey and Seale. The program was a political and social concern for the Black population’s survival in America. In the late 1960s, the two of them devised the Ten Point Platform, which evolved into the Black Panther Party.
Relationship of Bobby Seale
Bobby Seale and his first wife, Artie, married in 1965. Malik Nkrumah Stagolee Seale, the couple’s son, was born to them. Despite the fact that the pair split in 1967.

Tema: Freedom of the Press? Catholic Censorship during the Counter-Reformation
Presenta: Francisco Pino (FEN) – Coautores: Sascha Becker and Jordi Vidal-Robert
The Protestant Reformation in the early 16th century challenged the monopoly of the Catholic Church. The printing press helped the new movement spread its ideas well beyond the cradle of the Reformation in Luther’s city of Wittenberg. The Catholic Church reacted by issuing indexes of forbidden books which blacklisted not only Protestant authors but all authors whose ideas were considered to be in conflict with Catholic doctrine. We use newly digitized data on the universe of books censored by the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation, containing information on titles, authors, printers and printing locations. We classify censored books by topic (religion, sciences, social sciences and arts) and language and record when and where books were indexed. Our results show that Catholic censorship did reduce printing of forbidden authors, as intended, but also negatively impacted the diffusion of knowledge.

Your Heroes, My Grandparents: A Granddaughter’s Love is a charming read chronicling the lives of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, from the perspective of their grandchild. The author shares personal stories, candid pictures, and unique insights into what it was like growing up in a multicultural family with famous grandparents. This heartwarming book offers an intimate encounter with two of the most beloved heroes in American history and is a must-read for anyone curious about their lives.
Wow, what a nice lady. And so positive and fun. The granddaughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and boy is that an act to follow. This interview lasted over an hour, with her four dogs lying nearby. She is one interesting lady, and what she went through with her grandparents is remarkable and nothing but a fun time. Yes, like any family, there are very interesting moments.
Wait till you hear about the airplane ride and Roy’s encounter with a fan convinced he was bald. So classic all of these. So many pictures in this book, I was so pleased.
And she sent me a signed copy, and the woman has the prettiest handwriting ever! There is NOTHING fake about this woman, and the love she still feels toward her grandparents is remarkable. And wait till you hear about the mail being dumped! Who realized how popular Roy and Dale were? And how did they always stay so positive and happy? And they did have tragedy in their lives.
So thankful I got to interview this woman. She is an amazing person and a tribute to the human race.
