St. Bernard our Patron Saint
St. Bernard of Clairvaux
The patron saint of our parish is generally known as St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Bernard was born in Burgundy, France in the year 1090 at Fontaines-les-Dijon - the castle of the Fontaines. He was sent to the best of schools, had a great taste for literature and loved poetry. Entering college at an early age, he studied theology and Holy Scripture. After the death of his mother, he resolved to become a monk. He could have joined one of the rich and powerful monasteries of Benedictine monks, where the wealth and influence of his family would have assured him a distinguished career. Instead, he chose to enter the very strict Cistercian Order. In 1113, at the age of twenty-three, he entered the Cistercian monastery at Citeaux along with thirty young noblemen - a group that included brothers, uncles and friends.
His superiors soon noticed that Bernard had made great progress in his spiritual life; thus, in 1115, he and twelve other monks were sent to found a new monastery in what was then known as the Valley of Wormwood; eventually it became known as the Valley of Light, or Clairvaux. His aged father came also, giving up his wealth and honor for the poverty of a monk. His married sister loved wealth. She visited Bernard, and the words he spoke moved her so deeply that she later retired to a convent with her husband's consent.
Bernard was appointed Abbot at Clairvaux. He was a powerful preacher and is reported to have performed miracles, especially in healing the sick. His reputation attracted great crowds of pilgrims to Clairvaux which soon became the most important of the Cistercian monasteries.
This saintly man was gradually drawn into world affairs as church leaders came to seek his advice. A prolific writer, Bernard led much of the discussion and dialog on reforms and restructuring of the church as it passed through its first millennium. Most of St. Bernard's written records and correspondence have been lost over time, but what has survived has given historians a rich picture of everyday life in the European High Middle Ages. Ultimately he was recognized as the most influential spiritual leader of his time and was largely responsible for the rapid expansion of the Cistercian order. By 1153, the year Bernard died, there were more than 300 Cistercian monasteries, sixty-eight of which were founded directly from the monastery at Clairvaux.
In his later years he turned to his writing. His works fall into four categories: 1) letters, 2) treatises, 3) sermons, and 4) hymns. He also had a talent for music. Many of his hymns survive today and are used in both Catholic and Protestant Churches.
Bernard died in his monastery at Clairvaux in 1153, at the age of 63. He was canonized a saint by Pope Alexander III in 1174 and named a doctor of the church by Pope Pius VII in 1830. His feast day is August 20. By his life, St. Bernard showed how deeply he cared about God and God's people. We are fortunate to be under his wing.

Rev. Hugo Hoever, S.O. Cist., Ph.D.
St. Bernard was devoted to Our Blessed Mother
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Prayer for the Intercession of St. Bernard
God, You blessed Your Church with St. Bernard, a man full of zeal for Your house, radiating brightness and ardent love. Through his intercession, grant that we may be animated by the same spirit and always walk as children of light. Amen.


A young apothecary from a small town.
Bastian is a young man of medium height and build, clad in the plain clothes of a commoner. His dark brown hair is cut short and his blue eyes, when not focused on work or study, betray a youthful curiousity and hunger for knowledge. He walks with a slightly uneasy gait, seemingly ill at ease with unfamiliar surroundings. His voice, when he speaks, is light and hesitant, but gains an air of confidence and authority when he speaks about his areas of expertise.
Bastian hails from Hugeldal, a small town on the edge of the forest, where he trained as an apothecary under the tutelage of his aunt.
He and his older sister, Adabelle, were the only children in his family to survive to adulthood. His uncle and aunt had no children who survived infancy, and he became a favourite of theirs, the son they never had. His aunt showed him the way of plants and medicines, while his uncle took him hunting where he learned the ways of animals as well.
In Hugeldal, he assisted his aunt in caring for the sick and wounded there. As Hugeldal is somewhat on the outskirts of civilization, the town and those nearby had some trouble with greenskins and beastmen. Lacking fully trained physicians, Bastian and his aunt Ernestine shouldered the load. Bastian was tending to Adabelle’s husband, his brother-in-law, when he died of mysterious strain of flu. Realizing and frustrated by the limits of what he could learn in Hugeldal, he decided to leave to seek further knowledge and experience.
Bastian knows only the fundamentals of religion, but would be interested in learning more of the lore of the gods and the spiritual world. At the moment, he pays a general homage to Sigmar, and also has a reverence for Nature—giver of bounty, taker of life, healer and poisoner. He respects her for both the medicines she provides and the dangers she nourishes. He dislikes those who disrespect Nature, as well as those unnatural creatures who are an affront to her.
Bastian has a general kinship with other healers, and a more formal loyalty to members of the Apothecary Guild and Physicians guild, to whom he knows he must defer. He approves of those who value Nature, and holds in contempt those who would abuse or disrespect her. He is slow to make true friends, but recognizes loyalty to those “on the same team” so to speak, and definitely will do his part in a group effort.
He has a revulsion for greenskins and beastmen, and for their human equivilent, bullies. Witnessing bullying behavior, especially domestic violence, can easily bring rage to this mostly quiet, calm young man.

Extensions, widgets & badges
Find out more about the TinEye official browser extensions, widgets and bookmarklet to make your searching easier and faster.
What is the TinEye bookmarklet?
The TinEye bookmarklet allows you to search for any images appearing on the web page you are viewing, without having to go to TinEye first. Unlike the TinEye extension — which allows you to right-click an image to search for it — the bookmarklet is a little script that is run from your browser's bookmark menu. When you click the bookmarklet, it submits the URL of the web page you are viewing to TinEye, fetches the images, and asks you to choose which image to search (just like when you paste a web page URL to the TinEye search page).
How do I install the bookmarklet?
Just right-click the grey button on the right, and select 'Bookmark This Link' or 'Add to Favorites'. The bookmarklet will be added to your browser's bookmarks menu or toolbar as if it were a regular bookmark.
On some browsers you can actually drag and drop the grey button into your bookmark toolbar so it will appear as below.
How do I install the bookmarklet on a mobile device?
To install the bookmarklet on a mobile device follow these steps:
- Click the bookmarklet link (here). This will reload the current page with the bookmarklet code added to the page url.
- Add the page to your browser's bookmarks.
- Go to the bookmark edit options for the new bookmark in your browser.
- From bookmark edit options > bookmark url or location field, remove everything up to and including the # symbol from the link. So remove "http://tineye.com/bookmarklet#" from the link and resave the bookmark.
How do I run the bookmarklet?
Simple, just select 'TinEye Images' from your browser's bookmark menu or toolbar. TinEye will do the rest!
How do I run the bookmarklet using Chrome on mobile devices?
You make the bookmarklet in the same way, but then rather than use the bookmark directly you type its name into the address box over the page you want to search. While doing that you will get various suggestions, and you must keep typing until the bookmarklet itself appears — it has a star beside it. Beware of links to other pages, including ours, with the same or similar names. They have something other than a star.
There may be some versions of Chrome or some devices on which you can just select the 'TinEye Images' bookmark. If it works you will be taken to a page showing images from the one you were just at.

The History of Campanas de America
A brief history of Campanas
Campanas de America, a name synonymous with mariachi music excellence, traces its roots back to the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas. Our journey begins in the year 1978, when a group of talented musicians came together under the visionary leadership of Musical Director Juan Ortiz. From the outset, their shared passion for mariachi music set the stage for an extraordinary musical odyssey that would leave an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of San Antonio.
However, the story of Campanas de America cannot be fully told without acknowledging the significant role of Belle Ortiz, the wife of Juan Ortiz and the group's esteemed manager. Belle's unwavering support, tireless dedication, and deep commitment to mariachi education have been instrumental in shaping the group's trajectory and cementing its place as a pillar of the mariachi community.
San Antonio, a city steeped in rich cultural heritage, has long been recognized as a hub for mariachi music in the United States. Over the years, the enchanting sounds of mariachi resonated through its streets, captivating hearts and igniting a passion for this treasured musical tradition. It is within this vibrant tapestry that Campanas de America emerged, bridging the gap between traditional Mexican mariachi music and the dynamic rhythms of Latin and mainstream pop.
As Campanas de America flourished, the group quickly gained national recognition and public support, a testament to the unwavering commitment and exceptional talent of its members. Yet, amidst the accolades and acclaim, Campanas de America remained grounded in the belief that "education is key." In this pursuit, Belle Ortiz played an instrumental role, championing mariachi education programs in public schools throughout San Antonio.
Through Belle's advocacy and the tireless efforts of Campanas de America, the group became a driving force behind mariachi education initiatives. In recognition of the transformative power of music education, several members of Campanas de America took on roles as instructors in various public school music programs, imparting their expertise and nurturing the next generation of mariachi musicians.
With each passing year, Campanas de America continues to build upon its rich legacy. The group's performances have graced renowned venues, from the iconic Hollywood Bowl to the Aladdin Casino in Las Vegas, showcasing the ensemble's versatility and captivating audiences with their electrifying stage presence. Their talent and dedication have also been recognized on prestigious platforms, including appearances at the White House for President and Mrs. Bush and the Presidential Hispanic Inaugural Gala.
Today, Campanas de America stands as a shining testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance of mariachi music. With Belle Ortiz's unwavering support and her pivotal role in advancing mariachi education, the group has etched its name in the annals of San Antonio's musical heritage. Their contributions to the city's vibrant cultural tapestry continue to inspire and uplift, ensuring that the soul-stirring melodies of mariachi will resonate through the generations to come.
As Campanas de America embraces the future, the legacy of Belle Ortiz lives on, guiding their unwavering commitment to musical excellence, education, and the celebration of the mariachi tradition. With each performance, they pay homage to the rich history of San Antonio's mariachi heritage and continue to captivate audiences with their passion, talent, and enduring dedication to the art form.


On Saturday I went to another library for a program called,
“Who Let the Dogs In?” Well, there
were only three sisters and me, so I was the only dog let into the place. Guess
that makes me special, huh? Yeah,
well we all know that’s true anyway!
|Who Let the Dogs In sister readers|
|Doggone Good Readers Room|
Very different than the other library I go to, where we have
like 6 other dogs in the room and like 30 kids. Each dog gets assigned up to 5 readers, so no one barges in another's group. That library has the program, “Doggone Good Readers,”
in a separate room, so nobody else is allowed in to disturb the kids reading, not even parents!.
|Doggone Good Readers and all that loving|
|Doggone Good Readers really show their love and appreciation|
But the new library had me in a very
open space, the children’s library area.
Kinda different because other very young children wandered in and wanted
to pet me while the 3 sisters were reading (well, one is only 4…more about her
in a minute). I was happy for the
attention, but it seemed sorta rude, doncha think?
I was restless and didn’t want to lie down right away. I mean I loved the kids and their
attention, but I think it was too quiet there and not enough different people to love
me. HAFTA be loved by
more than Guardian each day or the day isn’t a great one. Too many windows, too, so it just felt different.
But the littlest sister was very cute...she said she couldn't read, but she made up a story from the pictures. Very clever.
|Littlest loves real books even if she can't read words yet|
|Don't want to leave out the middle sister|
|Look at what big sister is reading--MY BOOK!|
I liked Big sister, too, 'cuz she read my book, "Pick up That Book and Read to Me," (and of course she loved me, too!). Funny thing is, if you look at the photo above, Big sister was on a page that had the OTHER library's Doggone Good Reader's picture. Maybe we should bring both programs together some time. Yeah, then I'd have a pile of kids to love me! And there'd be a bunch of other well-trained therapy dogs, too.
Guardian will probably take me back to the new library. Don't get me wrong--I'll take petting and attention wherever I can get it. So, bring it on, "Who Let the Dogs In?" and bring on the kids and even maybe one other calm therapy dog--next time. I could use lots of extra lovin'!!


If you use a thesaurus, you’ll find that the title of this post basically says, “Taking the Shit Out of Reading”. Because I like to read. All my friends like to read. Smart people generally like to read. But for the love of all that is holy I
hate ABHOR LOATHE BREATHE FIRE UPON the section in my library known as “the Young Adults” section. In this section, the general formula seems to be that male protagonists get interesting, cool, relatable and well-written books. Female protagonists, however, get a steaming pile of turds wearing the thin disguise of a love story. How to Take the Ex- Out of Ex-Boyfriend, Instant Boyfriend, My Secret Boyfriend, My Fake Boyfriend, My Real Fake Boyfriend (clever, I see what you did there), The Boyfriend War, and, of course, My Best Friend’s Boyfriend are all aimed at young female adults! Yippee! Because what do young female adults love more than focusing their entire lives and fantasy lives around dicks and the men who own them? Absolutely nothing!
Well, some of us have brains. Some of us would prefer not to have to read about ur fke boytoyz. In fact, part of the reason I read is to AVOID this sort of “isn’t-he-cute-he’s-so-hot-I’m-already-planning-our-wedding” mentality. So, just for you, I have prepared a list of YA novels that are not focused around the cultural phenomenon known as “boyfriends”.
Big Fat Manifesto by Susan Vaught: This is a fun book, more than anything else. Admittedly, the protagonist, Jamie, has a boyfriend who a pretty major part of the storyline focuses around. But it is not focusing around him purely because he is a man and therefore SO COOL. And guess what? Jamie’s fat. The entire book is pretty much what the title suggests; a manifesto against fat-phobia. But it is also well-written, clever, and kind of wonderful. I recommend it for all human beings. Jamie writes a column for her school paper called Fat Girl about what it is really like to be fat, exposing assholes and irritating salesladies through the whole book. She is sassy and cool and intelligent so basically my favorite kind of person. She also sings in her school’s musical, prepares for college and has two cool friends (Freddie and NoNo) who are also complex female characters whom I want to hug repeatedly.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson: Wow. I am kind of in love with Laurie Halse Anderson’s writing, because it is beautiful and sort of fragile-sounding like if you read it too harshly the words might accidentally crack. The book is about a girl who is raped by a boy at her school and doesn’t tell anyone, becoming depressed. That description is really crappy, but honestly, it is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. The ending WILL make you cry, unless you sold your soul to the devil or are dead, but I don’t want to spoil it. Even if you are not a young adult, maybe you’re even old and crinkly and grouchy, you still need to read this because it will cleanse your soul of all impurities. Plus, there’s a movie with Kristen Stewart in it. I haven’t seen it but I can assume her acting will be stiff as usual.
Empress of the World by Sara Ryan: I found this book to be a little bit vanilla, but I like really, really dark stuff. I did enjoy it, though. It’s set at a good-pace, the writing is better than a lot of YA novels, and it has a good plot and believable voice. The basic storyline is that girl goes to summer camp, girl falls in love. With another girl. One thing I liked about it was that it didn’t make a HUGE deal out of the fact they’re both girls. Obviously figuring out that part of your identity is kind of a huge thing, and it doesn’t mention some homophobia they face, but it doesn’t seem to be jumping up and down screaming “LOOK! A BOOK ABOUT LESBOS! AREN’T WE SO INCLUSIVE AND OPEN-MINDED.” which I appreciated. And do you know how hard it is to find books with any kind of girl-on-girl romance? DO YOU KNOW?
Ash by Malinda Lo: Speaking of girl-on-girl romance… I confess– I have not actually finished this book. Actually, it’s laying splayed open behind me as I type this. I am having a hard time getting into it because of the writing, which is not really my thing; it plays out to sound very fairy-tale-ish. HOWEVER I think this would appeal hugely to a lot of people, and it won the Lambda Literary Award, YA fiction category! (That’s the award for LGBTQ literature, if you didn’t know). Overall, the writing is good, and the plot is so far interesting. It is a bit slow moving, but I think pretty good overall. UPDATE: I just finished Ash and boy, does it pick up. I was feeling so-so about it when I wrote this review but now I really love it.
Speaking of the Lambda Awards… if you are sick of reading books with female protagonists… get off this blog. If you have read a lot of books with strong female protagonists and wish to expand your mind with diversity, check out some books by Alex Sanchez. He has won the Lambda Award multiple times. All of his books are about gay guys, and there are very few ladies in sight, just a warning. But they are still pretty good and queer books are hard enough to find either way. My personal favorite is The God Box which is a great book about a young man’s conflicting identities; his identity as a gay man and his identity as a Christian. Also he meets a cute boy named Manuel who has some great lines about why Christianity doesn’t actually say homosexuality is a sin, which I am definitely going to be using. P.S. the Bible doesn’t ever say homosexuality is a sin. Read The God Box and find out more after the jump.
Girl by Blake Nelson: At my library, this is in the adult fiction section, but I think it should be in YA. It is more for the upper teens though, because there’s a lot of sexuality in it. But this book is mindblowing. The writing is incredible, and yes, it does sound like a teenage girl– but a real teenage girl, not a valley girl. It is about a (you guessed it) teen girl’s coming-of-age in Portland, OR (holla for my hometown) in the nineties. The best part about it is that it feels so real. Even some of the very best books have a thin layer of fantasy– this one completely rips it all to shreds and makes you feel like you’re reading an older sister’s teenage diary.
The Tank Girl comics are technically graphic novels, and O.K., she has a boyfriend. But her boyfriend is a kangaroo named Booga and she rescues him nine times out of ten. Tank Girl is hilarious, raunchy (yeah, really raunchy) and she kicks ass.
And if by this point your eyes have fallen out of your head from all this reading, go watch The Runaways or something. That is an awesome movie*. Promise me you will sing along to “Cherry Bomb”. And if you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments!
*I watch it whenever I’m sick and have to stay home from school. I’ve got Kim Fowley’s “I want an orgasm” speech memorized and I scream along. Which isn’t good when I have a hoarse throat, but oh well. Priorities. Plus, the music is what I’d be listening to anyways, so I can sing along! It’s sort of like High School Musical: Singalong Edition but there are cool rock star girls with guitars who sometimes pee on guitars.

Finance Watch’s research paper on consumer credit and its contribution to over-indebtedness.
This paper explores the kinds of risks that consumers might be exposed to when using credit. The origin of these risks is in both the nature of credit itself (its terms and conditions) and the asymmetry of power between creditors and borrowers.
These risks have been studied for more than 4,500 years, by politicians, theologians and philosophers, many of whom have set out what – if any – protective measures should be put in place to curb unfair or exploitative lending activity.
As a result, the paper starts with the origin of credit regulation; since so many authors have written on this subject, this first section is necessarily based on a small and subjective selection. What were the problems they faced, and what solutions were applied when trying to overcome them? Interesting lessons emerge from the consistency of both the difficulties themselves and the laws and policies used to address them over the last four thousand years or so.
The second section analyses the current situation, through the lens of the 2008 Consumer Credit Directive recitals. What are the problems encountered today, given the development of the consumer credit industry? The analysis sets out the broad understanding of the risks associated with consumer credit, as well as the somewhat limited parts that the Directive directly addresses.
The third section offers a deeper analysis of the two main risks identified in the previous sections.
The fourth section looks at some of the factors limiting the effectiveness of current credit regulation.
The final section suggests that there might be parallels with the concept of toxicity, when evaluating the risks of credit use – and explores how consumer credit regulation might benefit from similar precautionary principles to those already used for chemicals or drugs.

Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah’s Reflections on Kashmir (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, forthcoming).
Dr. Nyla Ali Khan
This book is a compendium of the speeches and interviews of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, who reigned as Prime Minister of the State of Jammu and Kashmir from 1948 to 1953, and who was a large presence on the political landscape of India for fifty years. The volume is designed to enable a student of South Asian politics, and the politics of Kashmir in particular, to analyze the ways in which experiences have been constructed historically and have changed overtime.
This book would comprise a collection of his speeches, interviews, and letters to other political personages in South Asia, plus some other material and commentary. The apparatus I will use is an Introduction (5000) plus prefatory setups/abstracts (1500-2000 words) of each item. I am driven to compile and edit his speeches, interviews, and letters from the late 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s by my unquenchable desire to pursue intensive and thorough research on the political history of Kashmir through the lives of principal political actors, which is a work in progress, and, is by no means, near completion.
I am also motivated by a need to challenge distorted descriptions of the sociopolitical conditions and historical context that produced Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. My attempt is not, however, to interpret history through the subjective lens of contemporary politics. I write about phases of populist and electoral politics in Jammu and Kashmir in a particular context. At this phase in the history of the state, when large parts of the life of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah have been obliterated, I am intellectually invested in reconstructing my subject. Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah has been venerated and glorified as much as vilified, so I attempt to write about the public life of my subject with clarity, neither idolatrously nor iconoclastically.

Praise for the Book
“An important collection of Sheikh Abdullah’s speeches and correspondence, it provides solid evidence for the distinctiveness of Muslim political thought outside the Pakistan Movement, which has generally been dismissed either as inconsequential or entirely dependent on the Congress. The volume forces us to reconsider the dualistic narrative which has dominated India’s modern history until the present.”
– Faisal Devji, Reader in Indian History, University of Oxford, UK
“This exceptional book should be taught at all institutions of higher learning in India and Pakistan, as it recuperates and reintroduces the erased voice of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, the founding father of a pluralist and progressive Kashmiri nationalism. For the Pakistani readers, Khan’s book will provide a necessary and enlightening antidote to the often maligned and unjust representations of Sheikh Abdullah in the Pakistani media and historiography.” Masood Ashraf Raja, Associate Professor of English, University of North Texas, USA
“Nyla Khan had done vital service to our understanding of the plight of the Kashmiri people by putting together the writings and speeches of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah. Sheikh Abdullah – decades after his death – remains an important voice for justice and peace in the region. Any observer of the region who ignores his words will fail to grasp the possibilities for Kashmir’s future.”
– Vijay Prashad, author of No Free Left: The Futures of Indian Communism
“This book reflects Dr Nyla Ali Khan’s meticulous intellectual engagement with the larger-than-life Kashmiri leader Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who was much more than a politician. Abdullah opened up the possibilities of imagining a different Kashmir than what the nationalism projects of India and Pakistan dictated. His speeches, letters and interviews explain why Kashmiri voices have been subsumed by jingoism in the subcontinent – to deflect and undermine the inclusive and pluralist Kashmiri identity. This is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and all those who wish to understand conflict ridden subcontinent and its elusive Paradise called Kashmir.” Raza Rumi, author, journalist, and editor of Daily Times, Pakistan.
“This book is much more than a collection of “reflections” by Sheikh Abdullah: it provides a documentary foundation for a much fuller understanding of the Kashmir crisis today than could ever emerge from the current cacophany of partisan violence, repression, and propaganda. If a meaningful discussion of Article 370 of the Indian constitution ever resumes, this collection will provide a textual framework for its history, in which Sheikh Abdullah was surely the most thoughtful proponent of a solution to the still vexing and increasingly intractable problem of to how make the Government of India a caring custodian for the welfare and rights of all its citizens.” Professor David Ludden, Chair of History, New York University, USA
“Nyla Ali Khan’s record of publication stands in opposition to the erasure of Kashmiri history, and this latest and very welcome addition positions itself as a bridge between generations, preserving the writings of a role model for ‘pluralism in the face of divisive politics.’ Collecting the speeches of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah between 1953 and 1976, Khan argues for a Kashmiriyat that, in his words, finds room for ‘the freedom struggle of Kashmir” in the midst of (and not in opposition to) ‘the independence movement of the Indian people.’ Against monolithic nationalism Khan emphasizes that these mutual ideals are still realizable, and that the younger generation requires hope, beyond anger, and a practicality that can be recuperated from Abdullah’s writings. As President of the South Asian Literary Association, I am impressed by this collection as a potential pedagogical tool in classes on the Partition, on border frictions, and contemporary nuances of nationhood and globalization.” John C. Hawley, Professor, Santa Clara University, California, USA
“Nyla Ali Khan’s Sheikh Abdullah’s reflections on Kashmir, passionately invokes Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah as one of the original voices in the high stakes debate on the right of the Kashmiri people to determine their own political future as an independent state. Planned as a compendium of the Sheikh’s speeches from the 1930- to the 1970s, the book also functions, in effect, not just as the intellectual and political biography of one of the principal actors in the Kashmir issue, but also as a critical narrative that traces the origins of the “Kashmir issue” –its status as a disputed region claimed by both India and Pakistan over which three wars have been fought.” Rajender Kaur, Associate Professor of English and Director of
Graduate Program, William Paterson University, New Jersey, USA
“This collection of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah’s speeches and letters is indeed an urgently needed work of recovering historical memory to resurrect the concept of Kashmiriyat, a species of cultural nationalism that recognizes and embraces the heterogeneity of the Kashmiri people in the cause of their right to self-determination. Guided by Professor Khan’s lucid and eloquent preface, that explains the genesis and exigency of this work, and her informative and illuminating introduction establishing the historical context within which the great Kashmiri leader’s words and ideas need to be understood and appreciated, the readers are presented with a treasure trove of political wisdom that seeks in its pluralistic approach not only ideological and cultural inclusiveness but also “unity among all socioeconomic classes” of Jammu and Kashmir. Among the foremost scholars on Kashmir in the world, Professor Khan is committed to the idea of a grassroots’ social movement that finds its fulfillment in democratic political institutions. “I believe,” she writes, “without a shred of doubt, that in civilized societies, political dissent is not curbed and national integrity is not maintained by military interventions.” She confronts the political situation of her native land candidly and impartially, marshals the facts with skill, and presents her argument with rare clarity and perceptiveness. In more ways than one may imagine, she is the true heir of her maternal grandfather, the inimitable Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, whose words come alive and find pertinence once again through her timely retrieval and persuasive advocacy.” Waqas Khwaja, Ellen Douglass Leyburn Professor of English, Agnes Scott College, Georgia, USA

“The oracle neither explains nor conceals, but shows by a sign.” –Heraclitus


Mexico is a strange country that contains many secrets. On March 4 1519 Hernan Cortes, with 11 ships, 600 foot soldiers, 16 horses and some artillery landed on the coast near what was to become Vera Cruz. By August 13 1521 he
had conquered the Aztec Empire, the most powerful state in all of the Americas. Part of the reason for his success was a case of mistaken identities, the Indians believing that he was a god named Quetzalcoatl whose return had long been
The Spanish for their part were both fascinated and appalled by what they found in this 'New World'. To them the indigenous religion, which included human sacrifice on a grand scale, was both barbarous and satanic.
Accordingly they set about destroying it without trace. Whole libraries of
colourful bark-books were burnt and those natives who did not die from
disease, hunger and over-work were forcibly converted to Catholicism.
Fortunately not all the Spanish were as unsympathetic towards the Indians as
Cortes. A few, such a friar named Bernadino Sahagun, made friends with the
natives and attempted to record for posterity their traditional beliefs and ideas.
He discovered that central to their philosophy was a belief in the cyclical nature
of time and an awesome fear that one day, possibly sooner rather than later,
their world would come to an end. It seems that they believed that the sun,
which they nourished with their sacrifices, would one day no longer send its life
force, thereby bringing to an end the fifth and last age of man. They counted
the days according to two calendars, one a "vague" year of 365 days and the
other a shorter cycle of 260 days.
Every day had two names, one according to each calendar so that the same combination of names would not recur for 52 years. When one of these 52 year time periods, known as an Aztec century, came to an end they would leave their cities and, going up into the surrounding hills, anxiously watch the stars. The sign they were looking for was the Pleiades
star-group, symbolising for them a cosmic snake's rattle, crossing the southern meridian at midnight. This, they believed, meant that the heavens had not stopped turning and the sun would rise again. The Aztecs celebrated the birth of this new 'century' with rejoicing and the lighting of fires, symbolising the rebirth of the world.
Most native Meso-American documents were destroyed in the early years of the Spanish occupation but a few priceless books and relics did survive the destruction, either having been hidden by the Indians or exported back to Europe as presents for the King. The most important of these was what is now called the Dresden Codex, named after the town in whose library it was lodged. This strange book, inscribed with unknown hieroglyphs, was written by Maya Indians who once ruled over much of Central America, the ruins of their once grand civilisation littering the jungle. In 1880 a brilliant, German scholar, who was working as a librarian in Dresden, turned his attention to this codex. By a process of extraordinary detective work he cracked the code of the Mayan calendar making it possible for other scholars and explorers to translate the many dated inscriptions to be found on buildings, stelae and other ancient Mayan artifacts. He discovered that the Dresden Codex itself was concerned with astronomy providing detailed tables of lunar eclipses and other phenomenon.
These were so accurate that they put our own calendar to shame. He also found evidence for a curious "magic number"- 1,366,560 days, which could be factorized in a number of ways and which harmonised the cycles of Venus and Mars with two "yearly" cycles also used by the Maya: the sacred tzolkin of 260 days and the Haab of 365 days. However, he also found that they had another system of counting the days relative to a starting date, called the Birth of Venus and now known to be 13 August 3114 BC. This calendar was divided into "months" or uinals of twenty days, "years" or tuns of 360 days and longer periods of 7200 days, the katun and 144,000 days, the baktun. The number 13 was magically important to them and they believed that, starting from the Birth of Venus, after 13 of these longest periods, or baktuns, the world would come to an end. Working from their start date this Mayan Prophecy points to a date in our own time, 22 December 2012.
In 1986 Maurice Cotterell put forward a revolutionary theory concerning astrology and sun cycles. He had for some years suspected that the sun's variable magnetic field had consequences for life on earth. The sun has a complex field which loops and twists itself into knots. It has long been suspected that these loops give rise to sunspots, which are dark blemishes on the sun's skin. The number, size and location of sunspots are constantly changing and as a former Radio Officer, Cotterell was well aware that they have profound effects upon the earth's magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere. Whilst working as Head of Electrical and Communications Engineering (Estates) at Cranfield Institute of Technology, he devised a program that would compute the relationship between the sun's magnetic field and the Earth.
As expected his model predicted that there should be a sunspot cycle of roughly eleven and a half years, closely corresponding to what has been observed over several centuries. However, he also found graphic evidence for longer cycles including a period of 1,366,040 days. His work took a new turn when he read about the Mayan super number from the Dresden Codex: 1,366,560 days. This was exactly two 260 day cycles larger than his theoretical sunspot period. He therefore proposed that the two were related. As his earlier work on what he called Astrogenetics indicated that human fertility was dependent on the presence of sunspots, he now had evidence that the Mayan calendar was not arbitrary but was based on a knowledge of the effects of sunspots. This explained the near obsession they had for long cycles of time and their belief in the rise and fall of four previous ages of man.
Travelling in Mexico, Cotterell extended his ideas and gave them a public airing on television. After giving a lecture at the Voluntary Cultural society, he was awarded a medal by the wife of the President. By now his work included some very esoteric investigations into the 'Lid of Palenque', a mysterious sarcophagus cover made famous in the 1960s by Eric von Däniken, who believed it showed the picture of an ancient astronaut. Cotterell now identified the lid as a graphic representation of Mayan philosophy and as containing many hidden messages and codes.
In 1994 he met up with Adrian Gilbert, who had recently co-authored a book on the Egyptian pyramids called The Orion Mystery. Gilbert too went to Mexico and was fascinated to discover the extent to which the ancient Mexicans venerated the rattlesnake. He discovered some curious cultural similarities between the early Maya and the ancient Egyptians, even though their civilizations are separated by millennia. Whereas the Egyptians studied the movements of the Hyades, Orion and its companion star Sirius, the Maya were more interested in the nearby Pleiades star-cluster. They viewed it as the warning rattle of a great cosmic serpent, which seems to have corresponded to the ecliptic. The head of this serpent was the sun and they believed that it was the source of all life on earth.
The Maya, like the Aztecs, believed there had been four ages prior to our own. Gilbert was able to relate the first of these to Atlantis and investigated certain prophecies relating to this fabled civilization. It seems that the serpent religion, which the early Spanish conquistadors attempted to eradicate, may well owe its origins to survivors of this lost race, some of whom went to Egypt and some to Central America. The original Quetzalcoatl, whose name means 'plumed serpent' and who was identified with the planet Venus, probably lived at the start of the fourth age, around 3114 BC and initiated a highly ethical religion of penance. This later degenerated into human sacrifice: physical hearts instead of emotions being offered to the sun. Other prophets of the same name lived later and Cortes was mistaken for his reincarnation. The Mayan calendar points to 22 December 2012 as being the end of our present age. Changes around that time to the sun's magnetic field could have consequences for us all. Perhaps we are already witnessing the beginnings of this change with the desertification of more and more land. This seems to have happened in a more localized way at the time of another sun spot minima, leading to the collapse of the Mayan civilization.
Their ruined, jungle cities are a warning to us all.

Marilyn: Lost images from the hollywood photo archive
From the beginning of her modeling career in 1944 as Norma Jeane Mortensen to her death as the voluptuous Hollywood icon in 1962, Marilyn Monroe posed for thousands of modeling and publicity photos, scores of which have long been forgotten or abandoned in neglected studio archives. This book collects 100 of the rarest of the rare, seldom previously seen images of her brief modeling career, early days on the 20th Century Fox lot, then in candids between scene takes and traveling as a public figure as the wife of Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio. For the Monroe fans who think that they have seen it all, this book will provide a new lens on a beloved American icon.
Venus in Hollywood : Portraits from the Golden Age of Glamour
In photographs only seen briefly as part of studio press kits distributed upon release of a new film, these long-lost stills of Hollywood’s leading ladies have been reverently rendered into color portraits that not only evoke a treasured past of beauty and glamour, but also seem comfortably familiar to the contemporary eye. These posed photos have been chosen not only for their bespoke sensuality, but also for how the discrete addition of color has elevated a black and white still to a kind of artistic grace, prompting rediscovery of classic Hollywood’s most beautiful women. Actresses portrayed here include Julie Andrews, Anna Mae Wong, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Carroll Baker, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Angie Dickinson, Eva Marie Saint, and many others.


Fundamental Philosophy of Ayurveda
There are six fundamental systems of philosophy derived from the Vedas, often referred to as Shatdarshana. The word Shat in Sanskrit translates to six and darshaana which is philosophy or understanding. The six systems include Snkhya, Nayaya, Vaisheshika, Yogadarshana, Mimamsa, and Vedanta. They are considered the most important theories derived from the Vedic texts.
Sankhya derived from ‘sat’ meaning truth and ‘khya’ meaning to realize is one of India’s oldest philosophical systems attempting to address the most important and common questions of life itself. Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Sankhya philosophy is the story of creation it explains the outline of the cosmic principles.

That my friend, is my old battered hand-me-down copy of Goblet of Fire. It is also the only Harry Potter book I own. It used to be my Mamu's (maternal uncle) until he gave it to when I was maybe 13 years old. The book has been with me ever since. I probably started reading Harry Potter when I was around 10. Believe me when I tell you, I was convinced that I would receive a letter from Hogwarts! I usually borrowed the books from my friends or the school library. But sadly, I never got a chance read the last book. I read it long after Deathly Hallows (film) released.

The full title of the book says a lot. “Hangdog Days: Conflict, Change, and the Race for 5.14.” In it author Jeff Smoot weaves an intricate story around some of the characters he hung around with during with during the “hangdog days” era of arguments, fistfights, and even death threats that were part of the painful birth of modern sport climbing. At the center of the controversy, local Alan Watts, was one of the revolutionaries that pushed back against the climbing traditionalists of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s to use another approach to get American climbing routes up to the coveted 5.14 grade.
Establishing routes traditionally was done from the ground up, with any necessary bolts placed on lead from a stance or with the aid of a hook. This worked great, for say, granite, as found in Yosemite. Smith Rock was another story with its steep faces forged from crumbly volcanic rock. In Yosemite, climbers had a moral objection to “hangdogging” and bolting on rappel because they went against the traditional ground-up ethic. At Smith, Alan realized that the blank faces could be climbed, and that the only practical way to protect them was to bolt them on rappel. He wasn't restricted by the ground-up ethic, and so climbing flourished at Smith while it stagnated in Yosemite. What were once called face routes became sport routes (established on rappel). Blasphemy to most of the climbing community back in the day.
While a lot of history has been told on the period of the 70s, in such films as “Valley Uprising,” as well as from the ‘90s forward, Smoot saw a major gap in climbing story-telling—the beginning of American sport climbing in the 1980s. And he had tons of material to fill the gap from his freelance writing for Rock and Ice, Climbing, and Mountain magazines, and other publications over the years. Plus he was on the scene both in Yosemite, Smith Rock, and other hot spots during these eruptions against established climbing ethics, hanging with the “hangdogs.”
Smoot calls his initial manuscript the “Gone with the Wind” of sport climbing, a sweeping historical saga, covering all of the characters, and all the controversy in 230,000 words---his publisher insisted it be cut in half before they would even consider it.
After an seemingly endless cycle of YEARS of editing and rewriting, it wasn’t finished until after it was pitched, and then it was edited and rewritten again. Editors at Mountaineers Books were also sticklers for fact-checking—verifying dates, citing sources, etc. This led back to a pain-staking review of all climbing archives from the mid-1970s through the end of the 1980s.
The result? A 296-page memoir, dedicated to Todd Skinner, and anchored to moments of climbing history at Smith Rock, Yosemite, and elsewhere. The characters speak for themselves, from traditionalists like John Bachar and John Long, to rebels such as Todd Skinner and Alan Watts.
Included are the Brits, Aussies and others who came from “across the pond” to test themselves against the hardest routes and see what the Americans were up to at Smith Rock, including Jerry Moffatt and Kim Carrigan, who made a mockery of the Yanks by flashing/onsighting many of our hardest routes, sometimes in tennis shoes. For a while anyway. You’ll need to read the book to see how it all unfolded, but here’s a tease:
When asked what his expectations are for “Hangdog Days” Jeff Smoot grinned through the phone and answered—“I wrote it, there it is, enjoy it.”
Adding, “While I hope it’ll become a New York Times bestseller and win a Pulitzer prize, in all sincerity I would love for people to find it entertaining and informative.”
We know you will.
Jeff Smoot has always lived close to his outdoor passion, although he admits he spends too much time behind a desk these days. He has written several outdoor guide books, including an updated edition of Rock Climbing Washington (Falcon) due out in Spring 2019.
He lives in Seattle, where he practices law as little as he can get away with and volunteers at Camp Long, supporting outdoor education and opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved youth.

This is my review of Blessedly Bound by Lucretia Stanhope, the first in the Elemental Witch Trials series. To start with, it’s of an optimal length in my mind as I personally prefer novellas, which I have stated on numerous occasions. With a book that size, you have more than ample room for narrative and characterization, yet things are very direct without a bunch of unnecessary filler; what you want is to illustrate the tale until it can live in the reader’s imagination, without going insane spelling out every single detail or experience that could conceivably occur from the characters’ perspectives. The author’s interests weave their way into the tale in a variety of ways, and as I also have an interest in painting and artists, I found that aspect particularly fascinating; readers can probably learn a thing or two about knitting just by reading this book!
I also enjoyed the beautiful overtones from the classic beauty and the beast narrative, almost like in Edward Scissorhands where one of the male leads has to look but can’t touch or consummate his and the female lead’s emotional investments in a physical tryst. While it incorporates some of the best elements from hit young adult bestsellers such as Vampire Academy, Twilight and Hunger Games, there are just enough dark and rough edges to keep things interesting; so that, when the romantic elements are finally placed at the center stage, it’s never tiresome as there’s always a dark alley to go down a page or two later. There’s also a greater sense of realism than is common in that genre, so that the piece will be entertaining to both adults and teens. The book very much captures that small-town ambience found in some of the best movies, and sets up a nice little microcosm where you can really get a sense of who the characters are, and the qualities of their respective personalities.
There’s also a good sense of history, as the female lead delves into her past and that of her family, seeking justice for its murdered members. Plot-wise, there is a traditional love triangle narrative branch between the protagonist and the male leads, several intertwined murder mysteries, and everything is neatly wound up by the ending and practically tied up with a pretty bow. But the story’s greatest strength in my opinion is its keen sense of magical realism and descriptions of magical ritualism and the main character Gwen’s journey to find out what her true capabilities are as a witch. And while I definitely saw the twist near the end of the book coming, it worked very well plot-wise and is a very cinematic-style wrinkle found in Hollywood blockbuster films. 5/5 stars; highly recommended.

The realm of art is enigmatic, with the power to entrance and influence its observers. One such artist who marked his profound presence in the world of art is Theo Tobiasse, an extraordinary visionary who devoted his life to the craft. The purpose of this article is to peel back the layers of Tobiasse’s life and work, revealing the man behind the vision and the context of the era in which his art emerged.
Tobiasse, a Lithuanian-born French artist, emerged during a time of global tumult. The mid-20th century was rife with political instability and war, with the horrors of the Holocaust still a recent memory. Yet, it was also an era of immense creativity, where artists sought to express themselves in new, innovative ways. This period marked Tobiasse’s emergence as a formidable artistic force.
Early Life and Artistic Journey
Understanding an artist requires an exploration of their roots and personal journey. Theo Tobiasse’s life provides a compelling story that explains the emotional depth and profound humanity that permeates his work. More about Tobiasse on estades.com.
Tobiasse’s Childhood: Influences and Inspirations
Born in 1927 in Jaffa, Theo Tobiasse spent his formative years in Lithuania and France. Experiences from his childhood significantly shaped his artistic perspective, particularly his family’s Jewish heritage and the vibrant cultures that surrounded him. His family’s escape from Lithuania to Paris in 1931 instilled in him a profound sense of dislocation, a theme often reflected in his work.
First Brushes with Art: Shaping the Future Master
Tobiasse’s early exposure to art began in Paris, where he reveled in the city’s artistic heritage. He started as an apprentice in an advertising agency, allowing him to develop a keen eye for visuals and graphics. This early immersion in commercial art provided a practical foundation that underpinned his later creative explorations.
Overcoming Adversities: War, Exile, and Artistic Evolution
The onset of World War II and the invasion of France by Germany significantly impacted Tobiasse’s life and work. As a Jew, he and his family were forced into hiding. Despite these challenges, or perhaps because of them, Tobiasse began to delve deeper into his art. The war years were a period of introspection and evolution, honing his artistic voice and deepening his exploration of themes of exile, displacement, and the human condition.
The Art of Theo Tobiasse: Techniques and Themes
Tobiasse’s artistic oeuvre is vast and diverse, a testament to his relentless pursuit of creative expression. He was known for his unique approach to his craft, utilizing a range of techniques and exploring various themes.
Unraveling the Tobiasse Technique: Mixed Media and Beyond
Tobiasse was known for his innovation and experimentation. He developed a signature technique that combined painting with mixed media. He often incorporated materials such as paper, wood, and metal into his pieces, creating a tactile dimension that invited viewers to not only see but also feel his work. His use of collage, carving, and printmaking reflected his belief in the endless possibilities of artistic expression.
Central Themes: Memory, Judaism and Humanistic Concerns
Memory, Judaism, and humanistic concerns were central themes in Tobiasse’s art. His works often contained elements of his personal history and Jewish heritage, exploring themes of exile, memory, and identity. He had a profound interest in the human condition, which he explored through introspective characters and scenes that reflect human experiences and emotions.
The Magic of Color and Form: Tobiasse’s Unique Palette
Tobiasse’s work is immediately recognizable for its vibrant color and dynamic form. His palette is imbued with warmth and depth, reflecting his Mediterranean influences. The distinct forms in his paintings, from the bold figures to the fluid landscapes, exude a sense of movement and life, contributing to the magical quality of his work.
Notable Works and Recognition
Throughout his career, Tobiasse produced numerous notable works that garnered recognition both locally and internationally. Works such as “The Little Girl Who Sold Matches,” “Journey to the Land of People Who Have Nothing,” and “The Kiss of the Spirit” reflect his enduring themes and demonstrate his innovative techniques. His art has been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries around the world, further solidifying his reputation as a pivotal figure in contemporary art.
Legacy and Influence
Tobiasse left an indelible mark on the art world, inspiring subsequent generations of artists with his innovative techniques and compelling themes. His legacy is preserved in the depth and breadth of his work, reflecting a life dedicated to artistic exploration and expression. His influence continues to reverberate in the art world, proof of his timeless appeal and the enduring power of his vision. His ability to connect personal experience with universal themes of humanity ensured that his work transcends cultural and temporal boundaries, making Theo Tobiasse a true visionary of his time.

■NH RSA 289:2 requires the town to provide burial space for deceased persons. Maple Grove Cemetery, located at 334 Baptist Road, Canterbury, NH, is the town’s primary active cemetery, and is facing a shortage of lots available for sale to residents. Despite implementing new concepts to utilize the existing layout and cleared space available, a space constraint is still imminent. When addressing this issue in the summer of 2021, the Cemetery Trustees realized the best way to utilize the space available was through clearing existing property the town already owns to maximize the number of grave sites. In the fall of 2021 Trustees began a program of garnering information pursuant to expanding the cemetery’s footprint and to clear space on the southwestern corner of the cemetery (closest to Baptist Hill Road). This will then allow the addition of approximately 400 full graves. In addition to new grave sites, this project will also give the cemetery a second access, off Baptist Hill Road, for a service entrance for maintenance and possibly a second exit for funerals and visitors. The project is expected to be presented to the voters in a warrant article at the March 2024 Annual Town Meeting and, if passed, work should progress through the summer, with lots available for sale to residents in the fall of 2024.

Wonderland Yarns is introducing a new monthly yarn club for 2024, inviting you to the premier event of the year as they take a “Tour of the Season,” venturing into society at well-known literary country manors, city estates, masked ballrooms — and maybe even a garden party or two. A set of 12 lush tones that you’d find in and around parties and ballrooms have been chosen to form a cohesive palette for the year (see poster for color inspritation). Hand-dyed variegated yarns feature a range of dyeing techniques in universally appealing colors.
Each monthly club subscription includes:
• Yarn: Each month’s hand-dyed colorway is inspired by a grand literary event and is available on our base of the year, Mad Hatter sport, or that month’s featured base.
• Optional add-on skeins — new for 2024, purchase additional skeins in the limited-edition colorway
• Block of the Month Pattern: a new, ongoing Block of the Month project (knitting or crochet options each month)
• Pattern Library: Current club members will have year-long access to an ever-changing pattern library of one-skein patterns and/or can choose to participate in the Block of the Month project, where we will play with new stitches each month. The blocks can be sewn together to create a blanket at the end of the year. Once a block is released it will be available for the remainder of the year allowing crafters to commit to the year and work all 12 square designs, or choose which square they like best.
• Delights: Each monthly “party” includes an “invitation” with work-in-progress card on the reverse and a set of custom made stitch markers.
Lovely yarns and delights, in your mailbox, monthly! Tour of the Season yarn club is now open for sign-ups!
