Adam Bucko is an activist, spiritual director to many of New York City’s homeless youth, and co-author of a new award-winning book called “Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation”. Adam presents Occupy Spirituality: Radical Aliveness for Changing the World in Vancouver April 10 & 11, 2015. In this interview, he shares with the path of finding one’s calling.
Interview conducted by Cameron Wenaus of Retreat.Guru and Sarah Lipton, Editor-in-Chief of the Shambhala Times. Interview transcribed by Emma Sartwell and edited by Christopher Schuman.
Finding one’s calling comes out of contemplative experience, which “for me,” Adam Bucko says, “is about essentially being in a state of receptivity and listening.” Contemplative practice has long been described as being about reaching a state of receptivity to what is – receptivity to the presence and activity of God in one’s life.” Continue reading

Rabbi Jarrod Grover on the Hanukkah Miracle
We often associate the miracle of Hanukkah with the military victory, or the unexpected abundance of oil. However, the Jewish tradition points to another miracle:
When the Maccabees entered the sanctuary, they saw it was desolate and empty (I Maccabees 4:38). Even if they had enough oil, there was no menorah to light! How did they solve this problem?
The Talmud (B Menahot 28b) describes the solution: The Maccabees took seven spears, and planted them into the ground. They covered the handle with metal, and lit the back end of the spear with the oil and the wicks. With this, they solved the problem of not having a menorah to light.
To me, this miracle of Hanukkah speaks to the power of ingenuity, and making do with what we have to solve the problems before us. It is a way of relating the miracle of Hanukkah to the miracle of modern Israel. We often forget that not long ago, the land of Israel was an arid desert with little infrastructure and no natural resources. Today it is a technological and industrial superpower. The story also speaks to the potential of transforming weapons of war into instruments of light. This final message of hope is a universal message that makes Hanukkah so cherished by the Jewish people, and all good people, over all over the world.


Cranmer was burnt at the stake on the 21st March, 1556 at Oxford. The day was said to be overcast and stormy.It is generally accepted that Thomas Cranmer was born in Aslockton, on 2nd of July 1489. He was the second son of Thomas Cranmer and Agnes Hatfield. His father Thomas Cranmer was the son of the first Cranmer holder of the Manor, Edmund. Edmund married Isabelle de Aslockton (Aslakiston),who was heiress to the Manor, in 1460.
Thomas spent the first fourteen years of his life in Aslockton and worshipped at Whatton church (Aslockton at that time being a Chapelry and having no church of its own). Legend has it that he would sit on the prospect mound (Cranmer`s Mound) and listen to the bells of St. John of Beverley in Whatton. Little more is known of his early life although Professor Diarmaid MacCullough of Oxford University suggests that he was educated at the collegiate grammar school at Southwell Minster.
His father died in 1501 when Thomas was 12 years of age. Two years later his mother sent him to Jesus College, Cambridge, where in his early years Thomas studied the works of John Dun Scotus (1266 – 1308) a philosopher-theologian. The study of Scotus and other philosophers reflected Cranmer’s careful and thoughtful approach to problems.
He became a fellow of Jesus College in about 1511, although his fellowship was suspended when he married (Black) Joan, said to be the daughter of the proprietor of the Dolphin Inn. However, Joan died in childbirth within a year and Thomas resumed his fellowship. At Jesus College, Cambridge he earned his Bachelor of Divinity and was ordained in 1523, immediately went on to study for his doctorate. Thomas lectured in Divinity and was appointed an examiner at Jesus College.
Thomas may have been destined for quiet scholarship had it not been for the fact that he whilst staying in Waltham Abbey, Essex, he met Gardiner and Edward Fox who were both counsellors to Henry VIII. Through this chance meeting Thomas came into contact with Henry VIII and was to be an integral part of the great events to come.
By 1530 Cranmer was Archdeacon of Taunton, subsequently he was consulted as to the validity of Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. He concluded that, as she was considered a relative, they were unlawfully married. He was sent to Germany to consult with Lutheran Nobility on the subject and whilst he was there he met and fell in love with Margaret, niece of Andreas Osiander, a prominent Lutheran theologian. Although, as a priest Cranmer had taken a vow of celibacy, his reading of the scripture (especially the fact that the apostles were married) convinced him that marriage was permitted and he and Margaret married and it remained a secret for several years.
In 1533 Henry appointed him Archbishop of Canterbury. Cranmer pronounced Henry’s marriage to Catherine void and that to Anne (Boleyn) to be valid. Subsequently, he pronounced the marriage to Anne to be void, allowing Henry to marry Anne of Cleves only then to announce that marriage unlawful. Whilst it would be easy to view Cranmer as self-serving, it must be remembered that he believed, on his reading of Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, that the King was God’s appointed ruler. Despite his continued obedience to Henry, Cranmer pleaded for clemency (albeit in vain) for Thomas More and John Fisher who as loyal Roman Catholics refused to accept Henry as the supreme head of the English Church. By 1536, the Church in England was severed from Rome. Cranmer`s theology was largely Lutherian, whilst Henry continued to insist on a non-papal Catholic (Anglo-Catholic) Church. Despite the difference in theology Henry still liked and admired Cranmer and summoned Cranmer to minister to him on his deathbed.
The Church in England become more Protestant when Edward VI ascended to the Throne. It was during this freer climate that Cranmer wrote the Book of Homilies, the Forty-two Articles and the most enduring Book of Common Prayer.
When Edward VI was dying, Cranmer was persuaded, much against his better judgement, to sign a document prepared by the King, designating Lady Jane Grey as his successor. The attempt to place her on the throne failed and Mary Tudor became Queen. Cranmer was charged with treason and sedition and committed to the Tower of London. Mary pardoned him for those crimes but he was rearrested and taken to Oxford charged with heresy. To save his life he recanted his opinions. However, when called upon to recant openly, he refused and withdraw his recantations. An eyewitness account reports then when asked to publicly recant he answered (showing his hand);
‘This was the hand that wrote it, and therefore shall it suffer first punishment.’
The eyewitness went on to say:
“Fire being now put to him, he stretched out his right hand, and thrust it into the flame, and held it there a good space, before the fire came to any other part of his body; where his hand was seen of every man sensibly burning, crying with a loud voice, ‘This hand hath offended’. As soon as the fire got up, he was very soon dead, never stirring or crying all the while.”

Cole Porter wrote about it. Frank Sinatra crooned about it, and I’ve photographed it: Paris.
A collection of 17 images from my most recent visit to the City of Light is now on exhibition at the library in Great Falls, Va.
A special feature is a series of street portraits, seven Parisians in the fifth arrondissement. They are walking among the cafés along the Place de la Contrescarpe, famed for the artists and writers who once chose them as haunts. They are people with confidence, style, and strength. I like street photography. It forces me to get out from behind the viewfinder and engage with people.
The free exhibition, along with a showing of nature photography by Dee Leggett, continues through the month of May at the Library.

The Official Dr. Thomas E. Starzl Web site is the gateway to information about the historic medical career of Thomas Earl Starzl, whose multiple innovations in surgery and immunology changed the face of modern medicine. The core of Dr. Starzl’s work is contained in the Thomas E. Starzl Papers, currently being processed at the University of Pittsburgh’s Archives Service Center. This material reflects over 50 years of groundbreaking work, including immense volumes of correspondence with fellow surgeons and grateful patients, presentations and publications from a hugely prolific career, information on his bestselling autobiography The Puzzle People, and much more. Once completed, the Thomas E. Starzl Papers will contain over 350 boxes of material documenting both his professional and personal life.
In addition, the University of Pittsburgh has taken further steps to preserve and advance the work of this pioneering surgeon. The entirety of Dr. Starzl’s list of publications—over 2200 articles in all—has been scanned and is available through Pitt’s D-Scholarship program, providing a digital repository for a man who has been identified by the International Scientific Institute as the most highly-cited author in the history of clinical medicine.
All of this examination of Dr. Starzl’s career has served to illustrate what a powerful and far-reaching impact his work has had on the development of medicine throughout the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. Through medical, statistical, and archival research, his influence will continue to grow well into the future.

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was going to write a fantastic review, (because that's what I do-write fantastic reviews, haha), but then I saw the back cover and it summed it all up. It reads,
"For Milo, everything's a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he's got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason! Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it's exciting beyond his wildest dreams!"
My children really enjoyed this book as I read it too them. There are clever lessons to learn, silly people to met and many play on words. If your family enjoys fairy tales this might be an enjoyable book for your family.

History Assessments of Thinking (HATs) ask students to go beyond factual recall to apply information in a specific historical context. Historical thinking is about cultivating habits of mind, ways of thinking that become habitual. These assessments were created by the Stanford History Education Group in partnership with the Library of Congress. Assessments are designed as formative assessments of a student's acquisition of the Historical Thinking Skills embedded in the Reading Like a Historian program. Teachers are encouraged to visit http://beyondthebubble.stanford.edu/
for additional information.
Teachers can select assessments by History/Social Science Content Standard, Common Core Standard, or Historical Thinking Skill. A full alignment can be downloaded here:

Good practice Guide for Access and Benefit-sharing
Utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in academic research
This publication explains Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit-sharing (ABS) and its implications for academic research.
The guide offers comprehensive information to assist scientists and research institutions in planning and performing research projects that use genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge from abroad.
The goal of this manual is to enable researchers to act in conformity with the regulatory requirements of the Convention on Biological Diversity, its Nagoya Protocol and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.
The Good Practice Guide includes graphic illustrations outlining the steps to be taken when accessing genetic resources for research purposes, in-situ in the provider country, or ex-situ in public collections, within a research institution, or from third persons.
It illustrates benefit-sharing opportunities to be included in the Mutually Agreed Terms from a non-commercial research perspective. See also our specific publication and website Toolbox to elaborate a Mutually Agreed Terms contract.
Switzerland has ratified the CBD, the Nagoya Protocol and the International Treaty. The Good Practice Guide informs about the corresponding Swiss legal obligations of academic researchers.
The brochure also contains several case studies to exemplify ABS situations, a glossary and important contact points to get started with your ABS procedure.
The Good Practice Guide contains recommendations. They do not replace legally binding obligations for researchers according to domestic ABS legislations or regulatory requirements in countries providing genetic resources.

Book in Brief: This self-help guide was developed to provide basic information to lay-persons about vocal physiology, vocal health, and vocal “personality”, as well as a step-by-step program to optimize voice production. It can be used in conjunction with a structured voice therapy program, or for home study. Based on current understanding of vocal physiology, the physical program includes detailed descriptions and original cartoons demonstrating exercises to: improve posture; increase relaxation and flexibility of speech articulators; coordinate speech breathing and phonation; enhance resonance effects; use meaningful intonation; and improve phrasing patterns. In the appendix, the program is summarized in twelve removable wall posters that can be used in group therapy programs or for home practice. It is ideal for teachers, singers, sales representatives, public relations personnel, counselors, and other individuals who rely on their voices to conduct their daily work routines, or who need basic information for vocal performance.
The book is available in English. The cost is $40.00 CAD each. Shipping is included.
A Book review of Vocalizing with Ease: A Self-Improvement Guide
by Linda Rammage, PhD, Illustrations by Michiel Haijtink
Linda Rammage’s new book, Vocalizing with Ease, brings to the voice user the best of two worlds: it explains the complexity of the workings of the human voice with a clarity and an ease that does much to lift the fog and help to de-mystify our understanding of the instrument; and it achieves this not inconsequential feat with a sense of humour rarely encountered in the literature of voice. Linda Rammage, together with her collaborator – illustrator Michiel Haijtink, has produced a self-help book for voice users that is as thorough and practical as it is delightful and amusing.
The book which Ms. Rammage describes as “…a therapy guide for people who want to improve their voices”, is essentially divided into two parts; the first five sections discuss the voice under the headings: 1. What Voice Is, and How Your Speech Equipment Works; 2. Your Voice and Your Health; 3. Your Voice, Your Emotions and Your Personality; 4. Your Voice and Your Job; and, 5. Your Voice and Your Life. Part two, entitled “The Physical Program” leads the reader through a series of practical exercises that deal (sic.) with Posture, Voice Onset, Resonance and Articulation, Tuning, Extending the Dynamic Range, and Phrasing.
The sense of humour of the collaborators and their genius for communication is apparent from the opening of the book where we are given clear and precise descriptions and illustrations of the roles played by the various parts of the vocal apparatus. Simple practical tasks are suggested to give an awareness of the point being discussed, and these are reinforced by Michiel Haijtink’s amusing cartoon-like drawings. Sections 2 through 5 dealing as they do with the voice users, their personalities, their lifestyles, and their professional activities, provide the reader with a wealth of information and good, down to earth, no nonsense advice on the way our daily activities impact on our voice and how we should conduct ourselves in order to maintain a healthy voice usage. Diet, Exercise, Smoking, Stress, Vocal Activities, Environment, and the Job, are all examined from the perspective (sic.) of vocal well-being.
Section 6 – The Physical Program – begins a series of practical steps aimed at achieving better voice usage. There are three stages of reform that are proposed to achieve this goal: Exploring and Discovering the bad existing habits; Re-programming the System with healthier patterns of use; and Habitualizing these new patterns so that they are reflected in all speech and vocalizing activities.
Each step of this program contains clearly explained and easy to carry out exercises which, if repeated with the suggested regularity, lead (sic.) the voice user smoothly through the desired re-programming and habitualization process. Throughout this section we again benefit from Linda Rammage’s skills as a therapist and communicator – and her sense of humour (which is never far below the surface) is again manifest in the description and the imagery of the proposed exercises.
This is a book for all professional voice users. It shows what our voices are, how they should function, and how we can get them to do so in the healthiest way. All this is in a delightful, humorous way that never gets overly technical but at the same time never misses a single important point.

One Book, One School
In case you’re not familiar with One Book, One School (OBOS), every few years we pick a fun book that everyone in the building will read at the same time – that includes every single one of our amazing staff members (teachers, paras, administrators and even some bus drivers) as well as every awesome student.
We read specific chapters each week for a 4-6 week period. Families are encouraged to read too! We have weekly activities designed to stimulate discussions around school – not only between students, but also between staff and students. It is a great community-builder!
We generally end the program with a culminating activity.
Here are all the books we've done so far:
2012: The World According to Humphrey (Birney)
2013: My Life as a Stuntboy (Tashjian)
2014: Pie (Weeks)
2015: The One and Only Ivan (Applegate)
2016: The Thing About Georgie (Graff)
2017: Fish in a Tree (Hunt)
2019: Sled Dog School (Johnson)


Some people read because they have to for a class, some people read because they love literature, and most people read for both. Personally, I read because I love books. I know some people who hate reading and don’t like a certain class because they have to read a book or an excerpt from a story. However, I also know many people who love to read just for the fun of it. I feel that books are amazing to read because you can get immersed in most of them so easily. Also, it’s a great way to strengthen your imagination. When an author describes the characters and settings in vivid detail, you can see everything in your head and see everything like it’s real. When an author gives very limited detail on characters or settings, you can paint your own picture and make part of the story your own.
Like I said before, I love to read. I prefer books over a magazine, newspaper, or an article like the ones I sometimes have to read in class. I like reading in my free time because I can pick what I want to read, unlike school when they most likely pick for you. Occasionally, the books that teachers choose are good and I absolutely love them. However, sometimes they’re bad and I just want to get it over with so I don’t have to read it anymore. When I do read, I like fiction a lot better than nonfiction. So far, the Harry Potter books have been my favorite that I have read. The books are just fantastic and I can’t get enough of them.
I’m not a big reader, but I like to think I read a lot. I usually read books that I know I’ll like. I know that I’ll like certain books because I have already watched the movies. I watch movies a lot more than I read books. For example, I watched the Harry Potter movies and decided I really wanted to read the books because they will have more detail and more things that happen than in the movies so it will be even better. Sometimes that doesn’t happen. For instance, I read a book that was based around the idea of Sleeping Beauty but with a twist. It took me forever to get even partially through it because the first part was very boring for me and I’m still not even done with it because it doesn’t grab my attention like other books. Sometimes when I read a book after watching the movie, I feel like it’s not as fun because I already know what happens and it lessens the surprise of things, but I still feel a lot of emotions when I read those books anyway. Basically, I’m not a huge reader like other people I know, but I do read quite a bit and I usually read a book after I’ve already seen the movie.
I am currently reading a book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It is an amazing book because it’s about a kid who just became a freshman and his struggles through school and life but he makes great friends along the way. I feel like people can relate to different characters, especially him and that’s part of what makes the story so good. Whenever I read a book, sometimes, I just stop reading it for no reason and it takes me a while to come back to it. I just started reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower again because I stopped reading it for a while and decided that I wanted to finish it. This happened with the seventh Harry Potter book too. If I didn’t stop reading it, I would have finished it a lot quicker. For instance, I read the first Harry Potter book in two days because I wouldn’t quit reading it. Once I finish the Perks of Being a Wallflower, I already know the next book that I’m going to read. So basically, I do like to read, but mostly fictional books, I like to read on my own time and at my own pace, and I mainly read books that I am pretty sure that I’ll like.

Daughter of Princess Likelike and Archibald Cleghorn. Her uncle was King David Kalakaua and her aunt would eventually become Queen Liliuokalani, reigning monarch of The Kingdom of Hawaii.
What would a young princess of this island kingdom have in common with a poet from the British Isles?
Robert Lewis Stevenson arrived in the kingdom in 1889 he became close friends with the King. Due to the Cleghorn family’s connection to Scotland, the King introduced the writer to them and he developed an attachment to the young princess.
Eventually, when the decision was made to send the young princess to Britain to further her education, the writer penned a poem to the young girl that had become so very dear to him. While it might not be considered a triumph of literary gold, to the young princess travelling far from home it must have been a great comfort to her.
FORTH from her land to mine she goes,
The island maid, the island rose,
Light of heart and bright of face:
The daughter of a double race.
Her islands here, in Southern sun,
Shall mourn their Kaiulani gone,
And I, in her dear banyan shade,
Look vainly for my little maid.
But our Scots islands far away
Shall glitter with unwonted day,
And cast for once their tempests by
To smile in Kaiulani’s eye.


Seven Resources for Studying the Bible
Regular Bible reading is important, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. These Bible study resources can help illuminate how to study the Bible, provide tools to enrich your Bible study, and answer questions you might have about the Bible. I’ve loved these resources for years and have turned to them many times as I continue to learn how to study the Bible.
Bible Hub and Blue Letter Bible
Both have websites, and both have apps available for download in the Google Play Store and the App Store. Their features are similar but they have different layouts. Personally, I have the Bible Hub app on my phone, but you can’t go wrong with either one. Best of all, both are completely free.
Their features include multiple Bible versions to read from and use in parallel, read through commentaries, look up cross-references, peruse Strong’s concordance, check out the Hebrew and Greek, and so much more.
I have found having all this information easily available on my phone to be incredibly useful. If I come across a question in my Bible reading or even at church I can quickly look up the verse, find out about a word in Strong’s, and read multiple commentaries to get a wide variety of perspectives on it.
Got Questions Ministries
Got questions? This website has answers. It’s been several years since I first came across the Got Questions website and over time I’ve found myself turning to it again and again for clearly written biblically-based responses to thousands of questions about the Bible, theology, Christian life, and more. Now they have more questions than ever, answered in multiple languages, and an app for both Android and iOS.
At the time of this writing, their website has answered over 670,000 questions, and new articles are posted all the time. A search bar allows you to see if your question has already been answered, and with nearly 700,000 questions answered there’s a good chance it has been. But if not, you can submit it to the website to be answered.
I love how easy the website is to navigate, how many topics are covered, and how the many Bible references are so easy to look up. They do answer questions that fall in the secondary doctrine category (doctrines that are not central to the Christian faith), and you may disagree with some of these as I have. However, this is only natural and we should be more concerned with their position on primary doctrine. When it comes to these central issues, Got Questions provides answers that align with Scripture and orthodox (right doctrine) theology.
Perhaps the most well-known resource on this list, Bible Gateway has been a staple of online Bible study for years. With easy access to multiple translations, parallel passages, a few free commentaries, and an app, Bible Gateway has a lot to offer.
It also offers email devotionals that you can sign up for and have biblical content delivered right to your inbox. They also have a premium membership, Bible Gateway Plus, which costs $39.99 a year. I’ve never used Bible Gateway Plus, but the membership unlocks over 50 commentaries, Bible dictionaries, and study Bibles.
My favorite Bible Gateway feature is the search function. If I want to look up a verse, but I can’t remember the reference I can put in whatever words I remember and see what comes up. If I remember what book of the Bible it’s from, I can quickly filter it by that book, or by Testament if I can’t.
Popular verses containing your keyword come up as suggested results, which often makes searches easier. For example, if you search ‘fruit’ on Bible Gateway you’ll see 243 results listed in biblical order, but before that Galatians 5:22-23 comes up as a suggested result, pointing you to the passage on the fruit of the Spirit.
How to Read the Bible For All Its Worth
How to Read the Bible For All Its Worth is a book I read in college. Written by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, it’s a great introduction to biblical interpretation. The language is clear, written for the layman, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be challenging at times.
Each chapter in the book (with a couple exceptions) is dedicated to a different genre of the Bible. That chapter will then explain the unique nature of that genre and specific things to keep in mind as we read the Bible. Along the way you will find lots of biblical examples to provide further clarity.
The first two chapters act as an extended introduction to the book. Instead of addressing specific genres, they speak to the need for interpretation in the first place, and picking a good translation in the second (although, they seem to prefer the NIV, which is not surprising as both the NIV and this book are published by Zondervan and Gordon Fee is an honorary member of the NIV committee. The content of this book, however, can be applied to any quality translation of the Bible).
How to Read the Bible Book by Book
This next book is one of several companion books to How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth. Also by Fee and Stuart, How to Read the Bible Book by Book is organized by the books of the Bible. Instead of traditional chapters, you’ll find shorter sections dedicated to each book of the Bible.
Each section is further divided for ease of use. First is ‘Orienting Data,’ which includes information such as a brief summary, authorship, approximate dates, and what the book emphasizes. Next they included an overview of the book, which considers the content of the book in a bit more detail. After that is specific advice for reading each book, highlighting themes throughout the book and other noteworthy characteristics. Finally, they include a walk-through, going through the biblical book, section by section. This provides a helpful outline including notes specific to that section.
God’s Big Picture
The final Bible study resource I want to recommend is a book called God’s Big Picture by Vaughan Roberts. Another one from my undergraduate days, this book is one I returned to and found I liked it even more than the first time. God’s Big Picture has the goal of discovering a birds-eye-view of Scripture—tracing the storyline of the Bible, as the subtitle says.
Truly accessible language and clearly explained concepts are some of the hallmarks of this book, but not at the expense of biblical depth and value.
Each chapter concludes with a Bible study section, which includes key texts to understand each part of biblical history and questions to dig in deeper.
I’ve benefited from each of these Bible study resources. If there’s a resource you love that I haven’t included here, let me know in the comments, I’d love to check it out!

With more than 100 checklists, diagrams, charts, tables, forms and pre-written documents, this is the comprehensive guide to a crisis plan that you need. Conversational prose makes complex concepts in risk and crisis management easily accessible. Case studies and anecdotes from real-life incidents remind readers of the dos and don’ts of crisis management. When you hear the expression, “He wrote the book on crisis management”-this is the book. This book had its origins in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Dr. Bonner had trained responders who went to Alaska and was then commissioned to design and execute major oil spills for the oil industry and coast guard on both coasts of North America. Seeing that their crisis plans were not adequate, clients then commissioned new plans from scratch. This plan has been polished, re-written, researched and tested in the diplomatic corps, with the military, trade officials, hospitals, police forces, off-shore drilling companies, mining companies and many other high need clients on five continents over 15 years.

As local market trends begin to skew towards React, it’s easy to question the future of demand for Angular. It’s a one or the other kind of game and makes you wonder which once you should pick up, especially when you’re just entering the fray.
Since Facebook changed React’s BSD licensing to MIT, the library appears to be exploding in every corner of the global development market. However, what a lot of entrepreneurs and startups don’t realize until later down the line is that React isn’t a complete front end system — it is just one library, one building block of many to help quickly scale a small application into larger, compartmentalized and component based system.
The React vs Angular debate
Angular, however, is a collection of libraries that work together a cohesive unit.
We need to talk about Vue
Vue is the newest kid on the block and is gently creeping up in popularity, turning React into the popular middle child of the trio. While the community is much smaller than Angular and React, it is gaining in popularity due to it being lightweight, not as complicated as Angular but offers more than React’s core functionalities.
The creator of Vue actually has a background in AngularJS, which is much more aligned with the principles of React than the current version and methodologies of Angular we know.

DIRECTOR: BOB JONES
The Rite of Saturn is the beginning of a cycle of seven individual Planetary Rites that collectively comprise The Rites of Eleusis. Written and performed by occultist Aleister Crowley, these Rites scandalized the city of London in the fall of 1910, contributing to Crowley’s infamous reputation as The Wickedest Man in the World.
This musical adaptation of The Rite of Saturn incorporates the esoteric themes and culturally challenging world views presented by Crowley into a format that lends itself to the grandiose and nuanced nature of these plays. The creative team at Eleusyve Productions deftly incorporates the complete and unedited dialog of this ritual drama into a rock opera featuring all original music and staging that further illuminates the dramatic narrative.
Shot over the course of several performances and edited to capture the salient points of this ambitious adaptation, this film captures the very best of the theatrical production as it was staged in September of 20

A heart-warming vignette that portrays a true story of inter-religious kindness when a Nun observes a Jewish ritual.
Tod Lending Director
Saul (94, drummer) and Ruby (90, accordion), are both Holocaust survivors and musicians with an insatiable lust for life. When we started filming them four years ago they had just formed The Holocaust Survivor Band, the first of its kind. Their dream was to one day perform their music in Poland, their homeland where they endured unimaginable trauma. Their mission then, and now, is to spread a message of world peace at a time when anti-Semitism and prejudice are growing throughout the world. Through the sharing of their music and stories, they have learned that they are also healing their own wounds while revealing their resilience.
SAUL & RUBY, TO LIFE!, is a feature documentary (80 min.) directed and produced by Tod Lending, an Oscar nominated and national Emmy winning documentary filmmaker. It is a story full of comedy and tragedy as it follows the inspiring story of these two unique and unusual men. Their musical journey begins in total obscurity, playing in residential homes for the elderly and small Jewish community organizations, to then being invited to perform at venues across the country, including a coveted performance at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage.

Revenge of The Daft
SKU: ISBN 978-0-9935355-4-3
Like all great poets, Matt Nunn is a one-off. To read his utterly distinctive, revved-up voice is never to forget it, to be reminded of the absolute power of poetry to give us a personality. To carry these poems with you – on a bus, to a football match, through the rambling streets of a city – is to carry with you a person, a friend, allowing you to see anew the gritty beauty of the world, its comic darkness.


“A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
Well … hello there. Sorry, friends, I didn’t mean to drop off the face of the (blogging) earth. I started edits on WATERCOLORS two and a half weeks ago and have pretty much fallen down the rabbit hole of Revision Land. After (happily) spending four hours on each chapter, the last thing my eyes (and neck … and back … and head …) want is to stare at the computer screen for much longer, so I’ve been stepping away from the laptop as much as possible. The goal is to finish this first round of revisions by the middle of June, so I’ll be back to more regular posting then, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share some thoughts about a few amazing books I’ve read lately.
THE BAKER’S DAUGHTER, by Sarah McCoy: You know those books that do more than touch your heart? The ones that slip seamlessly into your soul and take up permanent residence? The ones that make you laugh one moment and grow misty-eyed the next? The ones that strike a lasting chord? That’s what this book did for me. It’s been a long time since I was affected by a story on such a visceral level. From the very first word straight through until the very last, I was just spellbound by the characters and their journeys. When Reba Adams visits Elsie’s German Bakery to interview its owner and write a Christmas piece about her for a local magazine, she has no idea what awaits her. What memories she will hear from both Elsie – who, as a German teenager during WWII, hid Tobias, an escaped Jewish boy, for months – and her daughter Jane. What a deep, life-changing friendship she will form with the women. What inspiration and hope she will see in them and feel reflected on herself. This is a story about Reba and her fiance Riki. About Elsie and her family, both those in Germany and those in America. About Reba and Elsie and Jane together. With alternating perspectives – the book flips between present and past, showing us the heart of who Reba and Elsie are – it offers an insightful, educational, inspiring, enlightening view. I found myself thinking about these characters, especially Elsie, so often, even when I wasn’t reading. I woke up two hours early on more than one occasion to squeeze in extra time with them, I sat on a beach with a windchill in the forties because I only had two chapters left and couldn’t imagine not finishing the story right then, even if it meant my hands turned to ice. This story, it is compelling. Mesmerizing. Fascinating. I learned a lot about WWII in both regular school and Hebrew school, but this added another dimension. It left a handprint on my heart, on my thoughts, and will stay with me for a very, very long time to come.
CATCHING AIR, by Sarah Pekkanen: You guys know this already, because I’ve talked about it time and again on here, but Sarah’s books are among my very favorites. So when I won an ARC of her new novel, you’d better believe I was super excited. As usual, she’s crafted a story that takes us directly into her characters’ hearts … homes … hopes. When Kira and Peter Danner accept his brother Rand’s offer to move to Vermont and run a B&B with him and his wife Alyssa, they don’t know what they’re in for – and for people who crave security, that is, to say the least, a leap of faith. The same is true for Alyssa and Rand, whose lives are forever changed by tiny miracles that blossom into the greatest blessings, and for Dawn, a woman who finds herself on the run as she desperately tries to flee the past that could put her entire future in jeopardy. Watching their lives intersect, seeing them pull apart and come together, is both entertaining and emotional. One of the things I enjoy most about Sarah’s writing is her ability to make readers feel like they’re right there in the pages, experiencing the story instead of simply reading it. Alyssa’s first ultrasound … Kira finding peace with the man whose absence left a hole in her heart … Dawn learning to stand up for herself … all five of them coming together to throw the wedding of the year at their B&B … I didn’t just see those scenes. I felt them, too, and I was inspired. Because this story? It helps readers catch some air of our own.
FANGIRL, by Rainbow Rowell: I’ve been hearing such wonderful things about this book for so long. Everyone I know who’s read it has loved the story, and now you can count me in among those singing its praises. Like I mentioned, I actually rediscovered my passion for creative writing because of fanfiction, so from page one, I very much related to Cath. Her love of writing, her immersion in the story, her dedication to the emotion it brings out and the emotion she brings to the characters … it was like sitting in a warm patch of sunshine. There are such lovely insights into the writing life in this book, into its joys and frustrations, its heart and soul, and I had so much fun going along on the journey with Cath. Loved her, loved Levi, loved the way their relationship blossoms. I think what I loved most, though, is that the characters in this book are normal. They’re everyday people going about their everyday lives, trying to navigate the world just like all of us. They could be any of us. How awesome is that? Just like Cath is a fangirl of Simon Snow, I am one for this story.

“A Season of Solitude On The Road” Book
For 274 days I traveled alone around the United States photographing for my book “A Season Of Solitude On The Road.” That long, beautiful, tumultuous ride shaped me in many ways.
I published the resulting body of images in 2016 with Edition One Books.
“A Season Of Solitude On The Road” is a chronicle of these months of travel, and an exploration of our universal desire to know ourselves through the journeys we take.
What is it about moving forward that helps us look within?
From the introduction:
I set out on August 8th of 2014. Day 1 on the road. As the distance expanded from the place I just left, forward motion began to change me.
Any length of time on the road will pare down your belongings to just some. It shears away unnecessary thoughts. Outside the crowds, the people and the constant conversation, there is available space to think. Like the silence outside the reach of radio stations in the desert. Only the important questions are left in place, all terrifying and significant.
Before leaving in August, I read only stories from the road. As I followed the paths other writers wore down, I found John Steinbeck’s “Travels With Charley.” On the eve of my leaving I wrote down his words, a sentiment I did not then understand.
“We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip, a trip takes us.”
In this book are the images from the trip that has taken me.


Mohammadhossein Shahriyar was one of the first Azerbaijanis of Iran to write a significant collection of poetry in the Azerbaijani language. Born in 1906 in Tabriz, he received his elementary education, including the Divan of Hafez, under his father's supervision. Shahriar’s first formal education was at the Motahari (former Mansoor High School) Secondary School in Tabriz. He subsequently studied at the Dar-ol-Fonoun (former higher education school) in Tehran. Although he studied medicine in college, he dropped out just before getting his diploma and went to Khorasan, where he found a job as a notary public and bank clerk. He returned to Tehran in 1935 and started working in the Agricultural Bank of Iran. He also received an honorary Ph.D. degree from University of Tabriz in Literature. He initially published his poems under his given name, Behjat, but later chose the name Shahriyar.
He published his first book of poems in 1929. His poems are mainly influenced by Hafez, a famous Persian poet, and Khasta Qasim, an old Azerbaijani poet. His most famous work in Azerbaijani is Heydarbabaya Salam, published in 1954, which won immense popularity and has been translated into more than 30 languages and numerous plays all over the world. The poet began by composing tragic poetry. Many of his bittersweet memories are reflected in his books Hazyan-e Del, Heydar Baba, and Mumiyai. Heydar Baba, composed in Azeri and later translated into Persian, was for a long time on the top ten best-seller list in Tehran. Heydar Baba is the name of a mountain where the poet spent his childhood. He also wrote a book of epic poems, Takht-e Jamshid. He was interested in humanistic issues and in his poem "A letter to Einstein" he criticized the result of his scientific work that was abused as the nuclear weapon. Shahriyar’s verse takes diverse forms, including lyrics, quatrains, couplets, odes, and elegies.
One of his love poems, Hala Chera, was set to music by Rouhollah Khaleghi. The composition for orchestra and solo voice became one of his most well-known works. One of the major reasons for the success of Shahriar’s work is the sincerity of his words. Since he uses slang and colloquial language in the context of poetry, his poems are understandable and effective for a broad segment of the public. Shahriyar was a talented calligrapher, played the setar very well, and had a keen interest in music. He was a very close friend of the Persian musician and highly respected teacher, Abdulhossein Saba. He died on 18 September 1988 in one of the Tehran's hospitals and his body was transferred to Tabriz and was buried in Maqbaratoshoara (Tombs of Poets).


The Ravana Age 2554 – 2517 BC.
The age of King Ravana is considered to be the time when the art of Angam was at its pinnacle in. Ravana was said to be a specialist in pressure point healing . This is evident in the medical writings done by Ravana. The association between Ravana and Angam is so strong it is such that, even today, Angam gurus begin their training only after lighting a lamp in memory of this ancient Sri Lankan King. The art of Angam which was developed for so many thousands of years has done its best in protecting Sri Lanka from its enemies.
Venerable Kirielle Gnanawimala thero, a writer and scholar, explains this about King Ravana. “It is possible to conclude that the Sri Lankan King Ravana mentioned in the legendary Indian epic ‘Ramayana’, was not a fictional character but an actual historical figure. The “Ravana Kitte” area which is not submerged by the sea and other places such as Ravana falls, Sita eliya, by investigations, implies this and also it is possible to know that King Ravana’s tomb was made in the shape of a pyramid analogous to the pyramids of Giza.”
Ravana is said to have also been a specialist in all forms of Angam. History tells us that he has written several books about it as well. This master in Angam is said to have trained all his soldiers, cavalry and other types of mounted troops in the art of Angam.
According to the historical notes in the “Rajawaliya”, the reign of King Ravana was during 19th century BC, which is the period between 2554-2517, to be precise. The cause for King Ravana’s untimely death is said to be due to a betrayal, a very common occurrence in the history of monarchs in Sri Lanka.
History tells us that, prince “Vibhishana”, Ravana’s younger half-brother, has conspired with Rama, the exiled north Indian prince in order to have the throne of Lanka for himself. Vibishana has known what is said to be the only way to kill Ravana, and had shared this knowledge with Rama. Yet, the popular Indian version of the story tells us that Rama conspired with Vibhishana to kill Ravana because he kidnapped Rama’s wife, Sita.
There are north Indian folk tales and legends that also explains how Ravana trained Rama’s younger brother Lakshmana of the art of Angam, before the war with Rama. Even though Ravana had known Lakshmana was his enemy, he had done so out of pure compassion towards the boy.
Ravana is also said to have ruled over many states in southern and central India. To maintain such a large empire, it is obvious that the aid of something as formidable as Angampora was essential.
Even now, after all these ages, certain families still have deadly Angam fighting styles names after Ravana, which specifically use pressure points to disable and eliminate ones opponents.

Future Histories is a narrative driven project that seeks to understand the basic emotional desires of humankind, and how memories and relationships can alter the experience of a designed space. The project itself is an estranged motel located in the Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. The opportunity to fabricate a cliche form of architecture, in an extreme and resource deprived site, instilled a new way of thinking that propelled efficiency and ratiocinative thinking to the forefront.
The structure itself is heavily influenced through the surrounding context of Death Valley, as well as other Sci-fi novels and films that had a substantial impact on the studio, such as DUNE. This project, Future Histories, is built on a foundation of intense research and personalized experiences. The role of technology, and futuristic architectural systems, take centerstage due to the narrative of Future Histories being set in the near future, 2117. The relationship between automatons and humanity is deeply explored, questioning to what extent a space needs to be tainted by the touch of flesh.
Aside from implementing new technologies and machines into a barren landscape, Future Histories was manifested in order to further examine the role of the architect in the future of design and space. Exploration into significant historical precedents and works of literature such as Archigram's Walking Cities, Bjarke Ingles work, Tafoni Structures, Simonsen and Nealy's Spherical Model, Robert Rauscheberg's Apollo Sapce Suit Iteration, and Jimenez Lai's Obsession Accelerator all played a critical role in establishing a direction for the project. The Guide to Future Histories is the recommended companion while reviewing the rest of the work displayed on the website.
Future Histories began as a collection of images and words, a forerunner for what would develop into a painted narrative. The Trope Index is subdivided into nine different forms and images alike, each with three keywords that helped shape the literary framework of the project. This rudementary step in the design process was crucial in order to see success in the final product, each of the images and words were carefully selected, constructed, and crafted in order to establish a reliable source for the project to fall back on for inspiration and motivation.
2. Site and building analysis
Our 2021 Fall Studio took a trip to Las Vegas and Death Valley near the end of September. That trip had an immeasurable effect on the way that my design process would shift and alter in order to pay an appropriate level of respect to the surrounding site and context. The structure itself is massive, relative to the human scale, taking up 562,500 Square Feet (750' x 750'). However, in comparison to the vast and flat landscape of Badwater Basin, the architecture is a small oasis, a beacon of hope at the edge of the dry horizon.
Designing the program of a mega-structure as a motel was initially daunting, but the idea to limit the capacity to a few seldom pods (13), would prove to reduce how accessible the architecture would be to the majority of the public, as intended. The material used to construct the support systems, as well as the inhabitable spaces themselves, are all designed as being 3D printed. This promotes two ideas that are imperative to the nature of Future Histories. The first being that the motel is efficient in its use of the surrounding, or moreover lack thereof, resources, both in terms of the initial construction phase, as well as annual energy consumption costs. This second intention allows the architecture to become completely independent and autonomous itself. Fully embracing the role of the machine and technology, once again challenging the role of the architect in terms of designing a functional program.
The orthographical design of the sharp ended plinths are meant to appear daunting, and more importantly intentionally fabricated. The natural dunes located at the top of the structure are reflective of the famous patch of sand dunes several miles Northwest of motel's site. The stalagatite basins hanging from the dunes serve the purpose of acting as a water cistern for water collected naturally off of the architecture's mechanical system. The forest of columns amidst the two main plinths are designed to invoke a feeling of repetition and distress. Passively inviting any guests to either enter into their nearby pod or find their way on top of the architectural system where the dunes reside.
3. The Narrative
Interior Pod Perspective (2042)
Interior Pod Perspective (2117)
Exterior Pod Perspective (2042)
Seven Letters Perspective (2117)
The Watch Perspective (2042)
Lonely Pursuit Perspective (2117)
The narrative is the focal point of this project, allowing the reader to substitute the personalized experiences described in the text with their own. The Future Histories Script is everything that this story desires to be, and nothing else. The scarce moments that are depicted visually were chosen to give a framework for the ideas and emotions that are being discussed, but are in every way ancillary, not to be confused as a substitute for the literature.
4. The machine
The role of the machine in the future of architecture is undecided, yet promising and dangerous. The depiction of nine different automatons in the trope of Machine Diagrams begins to breathe life into the apathetic side of the design, allowing for a timeless relationship to be established between the built space and several generations of guests. The machine accomplishes its goal of influencing the future by being present in the scene, nothing more and nothing less. An additive visual component that has the potential to spread intrigue and hope through the lack of information surrounding each of the prototypes.
The entire project is dipped in this philosophy. Future Histories was created in order to explore the depth by which human emotions can intersect throughout time. The lack of precision in the narrative, as well as the vast open space of the site and architecture itself establishes a sense of yearning from the reader. The vague details allow for the guest to fill in the holes with their own stories and emotions, making all of my thoughts invested into this story personal, even if I don't know the reader; more so for those whom the images and words were crafted for.

Author Pearl S. Buck - Conscious memories of China and America as I see them
Her name was Pearl Sydneystricker. She went to China a few months after her birth in America in 1892. Her mother and father were occupied in their extraordinary mission work.
Pearl’s life in China was bizarre. She was tutored simultaneously as a Chinese child both there and in America. She settled in America in 1935. She spent forty years in China and 40 years in America.
“China is more than part of me. She is in my heart-and-soul and mind.
“My first conscious memories are of her people and her landscapes. They formed my childhood world, they shaped my adolescent years, and they brought me to my maturity.
“Chinese in education and feeling, I knew I was American on the day I very nearly lost my life at the hands of a Communist army. They invaded the city where I lived.
“I have never returned to China since, and it may be that I never shall.
“But through the years of exile from China I have continued to learn everything I could about the strange new life that is going on there. From time to time, I have written of China and her people, hoping to help my American people to understand the Chinese better; as somehow we must.
“These papers have been gathered together in a book. The book is timely. For soon we shall see changes in Chinese attitudes toward the outer world, or so I believe. And we must be ready.
“Even old tigers like Mao Tse-Tung and Chiang Kai-shek cannot live forever. There is always a tomorrow."
Pearl at six-years-old.
I crisscross America; the variety is bewildering
“Though I came as a stranger to my country, having lived in China since my birth; nevertheless, I was actually born in the United States. I like the combination.
“To be born in a country provides a natural anchor there. I am permanently American. To return as a stranger, however, also has its advantages.
“I see my country with the sharply observing eye of a stranger. Everything is new to me. There are no memories to blur the edges. I see my country (as a) whole.
“Eight times I have crossed the United States from East to West. Uncounted times, I have travelled from North to South. I have visited each State with the exception of Alaska at least once; and some I have visited many times.
“I came back from these journeys to our many states, awed and overwhelmed by the natural beauty of our country. The variety is bewildering.
“The highest mountains, the deepest canyons, the wildest rivers, the greatest lakes, the widest deserts, the richest farmlands, the beautiful seacoasts, the vast resources in mining, forests and industry.
“We have everything”.
Pearl B. Buck was born in 1892 and died in 1973.
<< These are notes from the books China As I See It and Pearl S. Buck’s America. The Saturday Evening Post, 1972.

Blair Robotics teams up with Walt Whitman Robotics: KID Museum 2016
On July 16th, 2016 the Blair Robot Project partnered with Walt Whitman Robotics and traveled to the KID Museum, located in the basement of the Davis public library. At the event, kids had the opportunity to try driving both the robots made by Blair and Whitman. Members of the Blair Robotic Project such as now graduated senior Aaron Szabo helped kids design and construct new creations using Lego Mindstorms kits. A row of computers were laid out in the middle of the room, each preloaded with the programming language called Scratch. Many children took advantage of them, creating their own games and developing their computer science skills. Kids not only learned new programming skills, but also practiced engineering skills by learning how to use power tools such as hand drills. Overall, it was a very successful event filled with curiosity, fun, and learning.
