I’m delighted to welcome James Gorski of DesignRFix as a guest blogger to “Cyber Geek Girl”. This informative post will be invaluable to any blogger who uses WordPress and who needs to tidy up their media library, as I did. Thank you James!
Every image file or other sort of attachment you decide to upload to WordPress goes directly to the WordPress media library. For current files, that’s no problem. The in-moment media library is very well-organized and finding files you just uploaded is a breeze. Old files, on the other hand, come close to being an absolute nightmare to track down. It’s all too easy to find yourself spending far too much time just to simply track down a file from a few weeks ago. There’s an easy fix, however.
Add a bit of organization to your WordPress media library by creating WordPress media folders akin to those on your own computer and suddenly your life gets a lot easier.
For folders like those mentioned, all you’ll need to do is get your hands on a free plugin that will majorly up your file organization. This post will go through not only how to get that plugin, but also another free plugin to organize through specific classifications.
Media Folders with Media Library Plus
Media Library Plus is the only place you need to look if you would like to throw some folders into your WordPress media library. Development studio Max Foundry keeps this plugin in tip top shape with regular updates.
The plugin is installed just like any other WordPress plugin. Once you’ve done that, your WordPress dashboard will now show a Media Library + option that will not have been there before. This button will send you to a new and improved media library. Keep in mind, however, that, though this is a separate library, any files uploaded to it will also show up in your regular media library without the folders.
The default WordPress folder structure for Media Library + is simply by year and month. Simply make your way through these to find your media files. In order to start organizing in the way you’d like to, simply click on the Add Folder button. This will cause a box to appear and prompt you to name the new folder. Then click Create Folder to, you guessed it, create the folder.
Copying and pasting media files from one folder to another consists in highlighting the files by clicking the checkbox and dragging them to the folder you’d like. It’s important to specify you want to copy or move the files by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the folder. The default is to copy in order to prevent you from losing any links to old images. However, to completely move the files, simply toggle the option to move. Remember that moving an image will change its URL and so cause the past URL to no longer work in any links you may have used.
The one downside of the free version of this plugin is that there is no easy way to insert the old media files into your posts without the pro version. Inserting them directly from the WordPress Editor interface, you will need a $19 upgrade to Media Library Plus Pro.
Organizations with Classifications
For those who prefer not to have dozens of folders to try to navigate through, another organizational options is to use classifications for your media files. These are tags put on your files to group them together. Tag an image as “animals,” and it’ll be thrown together with all over your other pictures of critters. While this doesn’t grant you the visual folders to browse, it will give you similar organization. If you know what you’re looking for, you should be able to find it by category.
A great way to gain this ability is a free plugin called Enhanced Media Library. After installation and activation, this plugin will grant you a new Media Categories option in the Media section of your WordPress dashboard. To create a new category, just go down to the Add New Media Category button at the bottom. Once you’ve created any categories you think you might need, you’ll be given the option to add new or existing images to that category upon accessing them. The plugin will then allow you to filter images by category. So, if you want to track down a tasty picture of a burger you uploaded, you can simply filter out all pictures not in the category Food.
For those looking to streamline their WordPress media library perusal, both Media Library Plus and Enhanced Media Library offer viable and free solutions to your cluttered library.

MOMENTS IN JAZZ
When thinking of the Ellington band, it is akin to thinking of an institution: rock solid, it is too "established" to go under. The 1950s were a challenging time for most big bands, and Ellington's band was not immune to the difficulties that this decade presented. In this hour long audio profile, the moments that revitalized Ellington and his band are explored.


Celia has discovered instructions for a one-hour self-guided walk around our area published by Lambeth Libraries and is trialling a group walk for TARA. Feel free to join her. No need to book. No charge. All very informal.
The walk’s description says: “Take a one hour walk through the streets around our local library and discover some of Lambeth’s hidden histories. This walk takes you through the site of the Tradescants’ house and gardens where seventeenth century visitors would come to view the the world’s first public museum collection; on past the Regency buildings of the Beaufoy vinegar works; through the green haven of Vauxhall Park; and on to the architectural transformation of the area around Nine Elms and the Wandsworth Road – all to be found within a one hour circuit of South Lambeth Library.”

In this new book, co-authored with his wife, Kathy, Timothy Keller turns his attention to that most complex of matters: our need for love, and its expression in marriage. Beginning with the biblical narrative, and its pictures of marriage that span the original ideal to the broken to the redemptive, he looks at themes of friendship and commitment; the completion of men and women in each other; singleness, sex and divorce; and ministry and discipleship within the context of marriage. This is a profound and engaging work that will challenge and inspire people in all stages of life - single, newlywed and married.
Take an hour to read a book that will change your marriage forever!
Rob Parsons presents an action plan to revolutionise every relationship. Includes: Are affairs good for a marriage?
How to argue - effectively!
Why many men say, 'My wife's not interested in sex'
Why cutting your credit card in half can save your marriage.
How a divorce will affect your children.
Often the gospel can become only a legal means of forgiveness - like a marriage which exists only to pay the mortgage. Lost in Wonder is a call back to the joy of our salvation and our first love for Christ. It explores our current and eternal union with Christ using the Biblical analogy of marriage - and shows the profound beauty in both. If ever a book earned its title, this one did, as I closed its pages Lost in Wonder. David Murray, Professor of Old Testament & Theology.
This practical and wise book will help you to understand your children and teens more fully and learn what you can do to convey feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in their souls for a lifetime. In The 5 Love Languages of Children, Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell M.D. have applied the innovative system of the 5 love languages to children. This easy-to-read resource gives practical suggestions for understanding how your child gives, receives, and interprets love. Through real life examples, this book will help you discern your child's love language and learn how to create a secure environment in which he or she can thrive. Discover how to successfully express your respect, affection, and commitment to your child, and notice the improvement in his or her behavior and in your relationship. It's easy to tell when a teenager wants to be loved. Getting the message across is another matter entirely. In addition to the obvious generation gap, many parents and children face a sort of language barrier as well. The 5 Love languages of Teenagers is an invaluable tool for analyzing a teen's love language and expressing your affections in an effective way. The search for love in a teenager's life can lead to disastrous results. But if you can speak the right language, the difference can seem miraculous.
At the heart of every man is a desire to master what matters. Getting a complement at work or on the court is nice but nothing beats hearing your spouse say, "You make me feel loved." If you haven't heard that in a while or feel like you're not bringing your A-game into your relationship, this book is for you.
Falling in love is easy. Keeping the sizzle in your marriage? That's more like grilling the perfect steak-it takes time, attention, and some secret spices. Mastering your wife's heart doesn't have to be complicated, but it will take a little effort. Good intentions alone will not get the job done. Gary Chapman gears this edition of his #1 "New York Times" multi-million best seller to your needs, challenges, and interests as a husband. What really "fills your wife's love tank? (It may not be what you think.) How can you let her know what you're thinking and feeling? What can "you" do to make sex more meaningful and pleasurable for you both? This book offers a straightforward approach that will equip you for relational success.
Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can fall by the wayside. We forget to complement, to give gifts "just because", to linger in our embrace. The things that say "I love you" seem to either not get said or not get through. This is a book about saying it - and hearing it - clearly. No gimmicks. No psychoanalyzing. Just learning to express love in your spouse's language.
Whether you're widowed, divorced, separated, or never married, your deepest emotional need is to feel loved - and your greatest fulfillment will be gained by loving others. In this updated edition for singles, Gary Chapman shows how to achieve a more fruitful relationship with roommates, classmates, co-workers, parents, siblings, friends, and others. Includes insights on online dating and newly single baby boomers.

As the name predicts, Will Grayson, Will Grayson follows the story of two teenage boys, each with the respective names of the title. We meet Will Grayson, a quiet, cynical high school junior who lives very simply by two rules: 1. Don’t care too much and 2. Shut up. He is one to fly under the radar, a difficult task made even more insurmountable by his best friend, Tiny Cooper. It would seem quite the odd pair, as Will describes Tiny as “the world’s largest person who is really, really gay” and “the world’s gayest person who is really, really large”, and, contrarily to Will, is not the type to go around unnoticed. Thus enters Tiny’s plan of creating an autobiographical musical, which further draws attention to himself and inevitably, Will Grayson.
The evenly numbered chapters introduce will grayson, (designated by the use of lowercase throughout the book), a moody, desolate boy who is “… constantly torn between killing [himself] and killing everyone around [him].” His life includes the avoidance of Maura, his one friend who he believes to be in love with him, as well as keeping an online relationship with the mysteriously alluring “Isaac.” As the two share their lives across the web, they finally decide to meet in person, just in the outskirts of Chicago.
As fate would have, the other Will Grayson, Tiny, and the pretentiously attractive Jane attend a concert in the same neighborhood as the other will’s arranged meeting. The Wills meet, and subsequently, there is no Isaac- a harsh deceit at the hands of will’s close friend. Enter Tiny, serial dater extraordinaire, to pick up the pieces of will grayson’s broken dreams. The two begin a fast-paced affair- one that seems destined for a downward spiral.
Relationships forge clumsily between Will and Jane, after she dumps the boyfriend so eloquently described by Will as the guy …”who tries to hijack my cool by reading poetry and listening to halfway-good music.” As Tiny’s over-the-top, fabulous play, “Tiny Dancer,” begins to fall apart, so does the infatuation between him and will grayson. The heartbreak inspires a new play, one no longer about Tiny and his story of coming out, but about love in general. The story culminates in a presentation of the play, with an inspiring performance from the director, writer, costume designer, etc. himself.
The repetition of names becomes a bit daunting at times, but the reward comes in that extra bit of attention to detail while reading. The interactions between the characters are genuine, and the story explodes with messages of self-worth and appreciation. A truly heartfelt book, authors John Green and David Levithan create a friendship with a name that will be left resounding in your ears, and a collection of hilarious one-liners.
Always wonderful to hear John Green, one of the co-authors, read aloud!


During the years of 1931 to 1934, 15 million people were unemployed in the United States. The Dust Bowl stripped the Great Plains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached its lowest level of the Great Depression. A teenager, Everett Ruess, renounced society – he set out to live and travel in the wilderness.
After a few years of lone treks spanning hundreds of miles of exploration in the American Southwest, Everett Ruess vanished. The mystery of his disappearance has never been solved. Through the lens of one young man's resolute journey, this film provides perspective on the value of the wilds and the sometimes obscure, solitary efforts of humanity.


All of the objects in this exhibition shed light on how media artifacts have served as tools for forging and imagining communities in Latin America. Drawn from Wesleyan’s Archaeology and Anthropology Collection, Olin Memorial Library, and the Davison Art Collection, the objects date from the Pre-Columbian era to the twenty-first century, and range in form from stone tools, to photography and artist books. Together, they shed light on how media have been used as components in the construction of empire, to resist political systems of power, and to negotiate individual and collective identity.
This exhibition is the product of classroom discussions, individual research, and collaborative efforts to make sense of Latin America’s wide ranging media history. Some of the objects may challenge our contemporary definitions of media that often focus narrowly on digital communication or the press. By taking a broad and flexible approach, however, the exhibition examines how objects used to communicate ideas with text and image also reflected and attempted to shape societies and politics--through the crafting and re-imagining of Latin American communities.
The exhibition is broken into three themes:

From The Art of Perspective:
The Heart’s Mind:
How Unconscious Responses Naturally Improve Our Lives While We Make Other Plans
When life took an unexpected turn Elizabeth found that her carefully constructed faith system had failed. Starting over meant finding a more reliable basis on which to build the rest of her life. By letting go of the reins, life carried her toward the answer: how she was designed to survive.
In the path of recovery, certain life principles came forward, and Elizabeth tested each one until it proved rock-solid. Over time, hope and meaning attached themselves to her, purely as by-products of following this unique internal compass.
Each of us has a “self-culture” where all that we know, feel, want, and plan forms our unique worldview. We are designed in our nature to constantly work to improve our circumstances. The Heart’s Mind is the inside view of how we are empowered from the human spirit, that part of us that is unaffected by the world.
We are in the rapids of wholesale change in all areas of life. This is an opportunity to consider new ways of thinking, relating, and working. These are historic times that demand each person find her and his unique place of service.
The Heart’s Mind is both practical and visionary, designed to awaken your self-renewing positive motivation. Life is personal!

Art direction and publishing design studio, founded in 2011 by Colin Caradec & Morgane Rébulard. Publisher of the annual magazine The Shelf Journal.
The Shelf Company offers services in a full range of graphic design applications, from publishing to corporate identity, through graphic web design and exhibition design. It deploys its skills in a variety of sectors such as culture and education, as well as the institutional, luxury, and scientific research sectors.
Book, magazine and type design
We specialize in publishing design and type design and have niche experience in enhancing and managing content by creating original editorial objects.
Our interest in publishing, both of the past and the future, has led us to expand the scope of our activity to provide book manufacturing consulting services.
By designing unique typefaces and custom lettering, we are able to give your orders a unique look and feel.
Maps, data visualization and illustration
The projects in which we are involved respond to today’s need to process the large quantity of information that is available to us. We need to extricate information of interest, interpret it, and then refine it in order to make readable and useful comparisons. Driven by a desire to present content in the clearest and most interesting way, our work involves using data visualization tools, be it for geographical data (GIS) or numerical data.
This will to facilitate understanding also leads us to produce illustrations and charts that supplement or even enhance pre-existing content.
We take a playful, convivial approach to design and apply meticulous attention to detail in our work. Behind all of our work is the search for high quality, timeless graphic design that expresses genuine know-how, as well as a desire to build rewarding and constructive interpersonal relationships.
Whether insignificant objects or works of art in their own right, books create through their different forms and stories a unique bond with those who read, consult and own them. This almost physical connection was the reason for creating The Shelf Journal. The Shelf Journal is a French-English annual review about the art of books and their design that gives the voice to book makers and writers specialised in that field.
In form of interviews, in-depth articles, portfolios, investigations, etc. the magazine explores the different questions that relate to the contents and the shapes of books, their creation and collection, by showing ancient as well as contemporary examples.
Part place of worship and reflection for paper lovers, part experimental platform for designers, typographers and other graphic designers, The Shelf Journal explores the essence of our libraries’ charm: the limitless variations in form of this unique object.

THE DOMINO EFFECT: PAKISTAN'S ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AFFECT FOREIGN POLICY
This research paper aims to investigate the economic problems faced by Pakistan and their effects on its foreign policy. The study examines the current economic situation of Pakistan, including its GDP growth rate, inflation rate, trade deficit, and foreign debt. The research questions examine how these economic problems affect Pakistan’s foreign policy, including its relations with neighbouring countries, the United States, and other global powers. The study uses a qualitative research approach, including a literature review and expert interviews, to analyze the impact of economic problems on Pakistan’s foreign policy. The findings suggest that economic problems have significantly affected Pakistan’s foreign policy, leading to a decline in its regional influence and a shift in its foreign policy priorities. The study highlights the need for Pakistan to address its economic problems to improve its foreign policy and regional influence. Furthermore, it aims to identify the connections between the country's political instability and its capacity to effectively negotiate foreign relationships. This research article contributes to a better understanding of the varied nature of Pakistan's economic issues and their consequent influence on its foreign policy priorities by investigating these interwoven processes.


In the late 1960s, Bill and Gloria Gaither, already well-known Christian musicians, were dealing with many personal struggles. Bill was recovering from mononucleosis, the couple had been accused of using their ministry to turn a profit and the family had been devastated by Bill's sister's divorce. Gloria was expecting her third child, but the couple was saddened by the thought of bringing another child into a world filled with racial tension, drug abuse and negative attitudes toward Christianity. After a friend prayed for the couple, they were both overcome with affirmation of Jesus' ressurection and assurance that God would take care of them. Inspired by the birth of healthy son Benjamin in 1970, the Gaithers wrote 'Because He Lives.'
What a friend we have in Jesus
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is a Christian hymn originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855 to comfort his mother who was living in Ireland while he was in Canada. Scriven originally published the poem anonymously, and only received full credit for it in the 1880s. The tune to the hymn was composed by Charles Crozat Converse in 1868. William Bolcom composed a setting of the hymn. The hymn also has many versions with different lyrics in multiple languages, such as the Japanese version "Itsukushimi Fukaki" (いつくしみ深き, "Itsukushimi Fukaki"? lit. "Deep Affection"), or a version sung during World War I with the line "When this bloody war is over" in place of the original title.
Just as I am
Charlotte Elliot wrote this song about how to find salvation through Christ. It has been used by many as the call to the altar at the close of services, as it brings a quiet simple message of sin, forgiveness, and salvation to all that listen. Just as I am
An elderly man asked Charlotte Elliott if she were a Christian; she felt insulted, and told him to mind his own affairs. But after the man left, she could not get the question off her mind, and she went back to ask the man how to find Christ. He told her to come just as she was. She did, and wrote the beautiful song, "Just As I Am." - By B. A. Scherr

Robbie Coltrane, OBE (born Anthony Robert McMillan; 30 March 1950) is a Scottish actor, comedian and author. He is known both for his role as Dr Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the British TV series Cracker and as Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. Coltrane was born Anthony Robert McMillan in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, the son of Jean McMillan Ross (née Howie), a teacher and pianist, and Ian Baxter McMillan, a general practitioner who also served as a forensic police surgeon. He has an older sister, Annie, and a late younger sister, Jane. Coltrane is the great-grandson of Scottish businessman Thomas W. Howie. He was educated at the prestigious Glenalmond College in Perthshire, from which he was nearly expelled after hanging the prefects' gowns from the school clocktower. Though he later described his experiences there as deeply unhappy, he played for the rugby First XV, was head of the school's debating society and won prizes for his art. From Glenalmond, Coltrane went on to...


A very hands-on attitude towards business and industry is what distinguishes the philosophy of Ángel Díaz Matalobos, whether that’s applied to his teaching, writing or research. “I believe that in the business we have to be practical,” he says. “You need a conceptual framework, but this framework has to work in the real world.”
Time spent working in industry and the private sector — including experience as a maintenance manager for a water supply system, consulting in the oil, steel and aluminum industries as well as a stint with the Venezuelan metro system — gave Professor Díaz many of his insights into the implementation of operations, logistics, and information technology.
His views on operations management, logistics, and information technology systems, have been aired in more than 40 publications among them the International Journal of Logistics and the European Journal of Operations Research as well as in his three books.

James Hudson Taylor (21 May 1832 – 3 June 1905), was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China, and founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM) (now OMF International). Taylor spent 51 years in China. The society that he began was responsible for bringing over 800 missionaries to the country who began 125 schools and directly resulted in 18,000 Christian conversions, as well as the establishment of more than 300 stations of work with more than 500 local helpers in all eighteen provinces.
In this short book Hudson Taylor explains the circumstances that led to the formation of the China Inland Mission.

About The Artist
Neil Leifer is an American photographer, author and filmmaker and has been a Sony Artisan since 2014. His photography career began on his 16th birthday, when he captured the game-winning touchdown in the 1957 NFL title game, also known as “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” Over his 60-plus-year career, Neil has captured over 15 Olympic Games, 4 FIFA World Cup soccer tournaments, 17 Kentucky Derbies, 15 Masters golf tournaments, countless World Series games, 13 Super Bowls, and every important heavyweight boxing title fight since 1960.
Neil has more than 200 Sports Illustrated, Time, and People covers to his credit. The September 1982 black and white photo essay and cover on Prisons in America, along with the Olympic Preview essay and cover in July 1984, are the two largest photo essays ever published in Time. In February 1987, an essay on the Animals of Africa ran ten pages without text – a first in Time Magazine. The August 2004 issue of Sports Illustrated titled “The PICTURES – 50 Years of SI Photography” featured an eight-page essay of B&W contact sheets and the cover. In November 2005, Sports Illustrated featured a 13- page essay “Eyewitness” of photographs from his “2005 Senior Citizen Tour” shoot.
Additionally, Leifer has photographed many of history’s most notable figures and events including The Royal Wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, President Ronald and Nancy Reagan on Inauguration Day in 1981, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Fidel Castro. He has had 170 pictures published on the cover of Sports Illustrated, the most coveted space in sports media.
Perhaps most well known for having documented his favorite subject, Muhammad Ali, Leifer captured photos of the up-and-coming boxer named Cassius Clay through his rise to superstardom when he earned his title of the “Greatest of All Time.” In 2014, Leifer became the only photographer to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Leifer has done special photography on many feature films, including The Longest Yard, Staying Alive, F.I.S.T., Semi-Tough, One From The Heart, Rocky II, Rocky III, Chariots of Fire, The Hunt For Red October, White Men Can’t Jump, Rising Sun, Quiz Show. He also played a psychoanalyst in a cameo (speaking) role in Quiz Show.
Neil has published sixteen books – his best-selling 1978 Abrams coffee table book, Sports, a collection of sports photographs. In 1985, Doubleday published Neil Leifer’s Sports Stars. 1992 saw the publication of three new coffee table books: Muhammad Ali – Memories, published by Rizzoli; Safari, a collection of African animal pictures published by Reader’s Digest; and a new collection of sports pictures, Sports, published by Collins. In September 2001, The Best of Leifer was published by Abbeville Press. The book is a retrospective of Neil’s 40 years as a photojournalist and showcases the best of his sports and non-sports photographs.
Neil’s eleventh book, Neil Leifer: Portraits with an Introduction by Tom Brokaw, was published by St. Ann’s Press in November 2003. One of only two principal photographers in the TASCHEN $3,000, 75 pound/800-page book on Muhammad Ali’s life entitled GOAT. In September 2006, Abbeville Press published A Year in Sports, a 348-page coffee table book with an Introduction by Frank Deford. In November 2007, TASCHEN published Neil Leifer, Ballet in the Dirt: The Golden Age of Baseball, with an Introduction by Ron Shelton. The book is a collection of Neil’s baseball photographs of the 1960s and ’70s, the “Golden Age of Baseball”. In November 2008, TASCHEN published Guts and Glory: The Golden Age of American Football 1958-1978, with an Introduction by the late Los Angeles Times Sports columnist Jim Murray. The book is a collection of Neil’s football photographs of the late 1950s, 60s and 70s.

As I venture further into the slightly intimidating labyrinth of marketing, I have come across another ‘must-read.’ The latest stepping stone on my journey comes in the form of Professor Youngme Moon’s insightful book entitled Different.
Amidst the Godins and the Scotts of marketing literature who conveniently provide take-away business tips and rather temporary morale boosts, Moon offers some poignant food for thought. In an industry where everyone is desperately competing to achieve differentiation, Moon discusses how in trying to be different, really; everyone stays the same. The book is as she describes it, an ‘exploration’ into what it means to become the sort of brand which deviates from the current convention in ways that reverberate and in ways that speak to us as human. Moon delves into the psychology behind both the consumer and the brand in the hope of bridging that often hostile gap.
It took me a little longer to read this one as I took my time soaking up every passage. Indeed, I feel slightly naive for admitting this but I can honestly say that this book has completely transformed my whole understanding of how marketing works. It’s not only about pretty packaging and slick slogans – if at all. Moon helps her reader, from whatever professional background, to understand that the business world is not just an environment of unending tasks, but rather that it can and should be a space for creativity. She offers the notion that a commitment to differentiation in the advertising and marketing worlds is a commitment to constant conceptual innovation, playing on your strengths and working continuously to generate inspiration.
For a philosophical tilt on the ‘how to’ marketing guides, I would fully recommend this book. You may not be fed those practical ‘how to’ nuggets you are used to, but it will offer you a little breathing space to step outside of your own project and be challenged to think without stereotype, and with sensitivity, creativity and most importantly, differently.
Enjoyed this review? Please feel free to comment.
Also, I wholeheartedly welcome any of your own ‘marketing book’ recommendations, just drop me a link!

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 (NRSV)
The Book Thief is an incredible story of epic/tragic/indomitable proportions. Set in 1939 Nazi Germany, the author traces the losses of war through the wartime experiences of a preteen girl.
What’s so compelling (and, particularly so in the case of the movie) is the narrator is “death”. Death shares its commentary on how busy he was during that time “collecting all those souls” (for the purpose of moving them to the hereafter).
In being present for the events of receiving the souls of men, women and children, Death’s descriptions of what it felt like, and just how they fell or rolled into his hands, characterize the way people lived their lives; Death was announcing the real obituaries or life stories of his victims.
(Disclaimer – If you have not read the book or seen the movie you may want to stop here…I’m about to give away part of the ending.)
Liesel, the central character, around whom this story unfolds, loses almost everyone to war’s destruction – her mother, best friend and step-parents.
At the end there is a “fast-forward” from 1945 to current day when “Death” is summing-up Liesel’s obituary. The one who had lived in so much loss went on to live a useful, joyful, most meaningful life. And, with something of a sigh, Death’s final evaluation is, “There is one real truth I know; I am haunted by humans.”
And there you have it; death cannot figure out life.
It cannot comprehend or conquer life any more than darkness can exist in the presence of light.
The human spirit, a gift of God, fashioned in the image of God, is designed for life, truth, light and resilience; these are the strength of God. Death is none of that and cannot speak for eternity.
So here is one truth I know; I am not haunted by death, for I am possessed by life; and that, more abundantly.
For You, Today…
Go live without fear; live in the way of He who is the truth and life.


Before the current University of Chicago, founded by one John D. Rockefeller, there was the old University of Chicago, which was founded by Senator Stephen Douglas and his associates in Illinois. This first iteration was incorporated in 1857 on land donated by the good senator and it closed rather abruptly in 1886 due to several financial difficulties. This guide to the institution's records resides at the University of Chicago Library and the online version contains a raft of digitized documents from this earlier institution. Visitors can scroll around the site to read minutes from Board of Trustees meetings, peruse the courses of study, or learn about literary societies. The Miscellaneous Historical Material series is a gem as it contains a history of the institution written by one W.W. Everts and a rather lovely scrapbook compiled by Edward Goodman documenting institutional events from 1856 to 1890.

We decided on muslin tote bags and I did some research for fonts and script that looked a bit like graffiti. I discovered a wonderful website for downloading hundreds of great fonts: http://www.dafont.com/ there are fonts in every style and type....wow!
Then I did a little research in graffiti and found lots of great information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti
I used my Thermofax machine and made up two screens using some fonts I had downloaded and the word 'believe' that the class had chosen as their motto.
The bags turned out really well, the children were thrilled with their results and I think their parents might get a pretty cool gift for Christmas.

We're all busy, creative people and it takes organization and forethought to accomplish the tasks and goals that we set for ourselves. I don't want to reach December and have to wonder what I did during the year and that I didn't do the things I planned.
So around the end of the year and close to the beginning of the new one I spend some hours getting The Plan in place! Its not a complicated or lengthy plan but I do spend a lot of thought and time to make certain that it works for me.
There are lots of books and strategies out there to help us and I admit to owning a few books and manuals on how to "make it my best year yet". I've added a list of possible books that you might consider at the end of this post.
My plan is a bit of 'this and that' I've compiled over the years, tweeking as I went along until I've created what I like to use. It might work for you or perhaps you'll get a couple of ideas to apply to your own plan.
I begin with a school type scribbler, I don't make the paper too precious so I don't want to scribble on it!
On the front page I write down all the categories of all that I do, professionally, around my home and community, they are not in any priority. The list might look like this:
- teaching locally
- teaching elsewhere
- writing magazine articles
- family and relationships
- church and community
- reading/self education
- art work
- shows to enter
- committed entries to make quilts
and so on...... make as many entries as you want
Now each entry gets one right hand page in the scribbler. And under each entry I'll list all the things I can think of that pertain to that entry. It could be something like this:
- make certain web calendar is up to date
- flights or travel plans to make and deadlines
- supply lists to the sponsoring organizations
- contact information up to date
- extra supplies ordered and ready for shipping
and so on.....
On the left side of the page I will make a list by month of the places where I'm teaching and the above tasks that need to be done for each and their deadlines.
I can then transfer that information into my daily planner and know exactly what the status is on each task. I'm sure that the calendar on my computer, phone or in Outlook can do something similar but I like paper and being able to touch it and use a pencil.
Does anyone else have tips they use for keeping up with their plans and goals?
http://www.davidco.com/ I bought his book 'Getting Things Done' have found it very useful although geared for the office person.
Your Best Year Yet! by Jinny Ditzler http://www.bestyearyet.com/index.html
How to use Mind Maps http://www.buzanworld.com/Mind_Maps.htmNow I have a couple of weeks to work on my plans for next year....how about you? I'll post more information in a couple of days.

I'm teaching a class that is all about recycling and repurposing fabrics of many different types and styles, I have other samples using old shirts, table cloths and more. This one has vinatge hankies and is called Nana's Hankies:
Dragon Bones uses my "stack, slash, shuffle and sew" technique a great way to have fun with fabric, a "suprise every time" with easy piecing.
Mi Casa is a unique way of cutting and stacking fabric and using a very different technique for the roof!

Every semester Aidan Delaney teaches over 600 students the basics of C++ at the University of the South Pacific. Textbooks often cost FJD$100 each so the total cost to students is FJD$60,000 — this is the price of a good house in Fiji! Other text book are written with students from the USA, Ireland or China in mind. They tend to start in the wrong place for students with a South Pacific school bakground and contain examples that students here find difficult to grasp.
This book is written taking into account students from backgrounds as diverse as Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga and 7 other South Pacific countries. Students in Kiribati should find this book as approachable as students in the Cook Islands. They all have ownership of this book as it is an open-source text book.
Allen B. Downey wrote the original content for this book and released it under the GPL version 2.
A buch of super-heros updated Allen's original text to include features from C++11 and C++14.
We needed some better motivation to study C++ and updates for C++17. The book was substantially rewritten to support the goals of the "Introduction to Computing" course a the University of the South Pacific.

ACI secretary, Stefan Gigacz, will present our April webinar marking the 150th anniversary of the birth on 3 April 1873 of Marc Sangnier, founder of the French democratic movement, Le Sillon, which had such a great influence on Cardijn and the YCW.
Deeply impressed by Sangnier’s movement, young Cardijn would later describe it as “the greatest surge of faith and apostolate that France has known since the Revolution.”
Welcoming Sangnier to Brussels in 1921, Cardijn lamented the closure of the movement in 1910 after Pope Pius X called on its leaders to resign and explicitly linked himself and his work to the Sillon’s heritage.
“The winds of the air and the birds of the sky carry off this seed and deposit it sometimes far away, in a field where God’s dew fertilises and multiplies it,” he told Sangnier.
The emerging YCW and other Specialised Catholic Action movements were the fruit of this inspiration with many early movement chaplains formed by the Sillon’s “method of democratic education,” which would provide the basis for Cardijn’s see-judge-act method of formation.
The Sangnier and Sillon influence also extended to the YCW’s sister movements, which would become known as the “Specialised Catholic Action” movements.
Across the Atlantic, Dorothy Day’s Catholic Worker also drew inspiration from the Sillon through her co-founder and mentor, Peter (Pierre) Maurin, who had also belonged to Marc Sangnier’s movement.
In 1950, Holy See nuncio, Angelo Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII, would characterise Marc Sangnier as the greatest influence on his early priesthood.
Listen to the story of this remarkable man and his movement at our April webinar on Saturday 15 April.
This month marks the 125th anniversary of the death of French philosopher, whose work inspired the French democratic movement, Le Sillon, founded by Marc Sangnier, as well as Cardijn himself.
“Each person must apply him or herself more than ever, better than ever, to courageously and faithfully looking at the principles and the facts in order to make him or herself more than ever, better than ever, capable of seeing clearly, judging and deciding,” Ollé-Laprune wrote in the Preface to the Third Edition of his classic work “Le prix de la vie,” which translates as “The price or prize of life.”
For Léon Ollé-Laprune, who lived at a time of significant social conflict and anti-clericalism, learning to see together, to judge together and to arrive at conclusions together was a way of overcoming division and building social peace.
What a great vision for the see-judge-act method that we can still apply fruitfully today for promoting unity among people of various faiths or none and even amid ideological conflict.
Canadian educator, Linda Arbour, has published Le Sillon, A Catholic lay movement that transformed France.
It is the first book in English that tells the story of Marc Sangnier’s pioneering democratic movement, which operated from 1894 until 1910 when Pope Pius X called on its lay leaders to resign and hand the movement over to the French bishops. In a remarkable act, that is precisely what Sangnier and his colleagues did.
Over the short course of its existence, Le Sillon, which began as a group of students at Stanislas College, Paris, did indeed transform the French landscape with its nationwide network of “study circles.”
Its “method of democratic education” founded on the sociological methods of Frédéric Le Play and the philosophy of Léon Ollé-Laprune in fact foreshadowed the see-judge-act of the Young Christian Workers (YCW-JOC) and the other Specialised Catholic Action movements.
Arbour compares the Sillon’s influence in France to that of Pierre Trudeau in Canada during the 1960s. Significantly, Trudeau was himself a product of the French YCS (JEC).
Australian educator and ACI board member, Pat Branson, describes the book as a “revelation” that offers “insights into the development of Rerum Novarum” that need to be shared with religious education teachers today.

The Compassionate Educator
Understanding Social Issues in Canadian Schools
In this edited collection, respected professor and scholar Allyson Jule brings together leading academics to discuss the evolution of student diversity in contemporary Canadian classrooms. This book explores a wide range of student complexities, including matters such as mental health, Indigenous education, queer education, youth radicalization and extremism, disability, religious practice, ESL, and refugee student support. This book equips teachers with the foundation needed to build a classroom that unpacks the social fabric of individual student and classroom populations from a place of deep understanding and compassion. Using a student-centered methodology, readers learn how to navigate difficult situations in the classroom with empathy and consider the distinct lived experiences that inform students’ actions in school. Encouraging critical reflection and a deeper understanding of diversity, this insightful and applicable resource is ideal for students in teacher education programs and for practicing educators across Canada.

While popular culture may be experiencing a kind of backlash against feminism resulting in a ‘Not this again!’ response at the mention of ‘gender,’ Dr. Allyson Jule, academic and author of Sh-shushing the Girls, believes that despite battle weariness over the ‘gender wars’ the sheer weight of evidence that gender is a powerful variable in the classroom necessitates that it be understood in as many ways as possible and better debated among educators, parents and students alike.
She has written extensively on the topic of gender and education as well as gender and religion in her books and in many academic journals. She is also involved in the International Gender and Language Association (IGALA). See www.igala.org, the Oxford Education Society and maintains her connections to the International Gender Studies Centre at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.

This guide is the update of previous document, dating from 2011.
This guide is intended to services of the French civil aviation and of the ministry of Armed Forces concerned by the legal constraints enforcing obstacle limitation surfaces (aeronautical servitudes). It provides a practical interpretation of the regulation and a common methodology for the elaboration of the graphic documents representing such legal constraints, in order to standardize work habits on these topics. All the data necessary for the elaboration of a legal servitude form is described: data relative to the runways and to the infrastructures used by helicopters, navigation equipment, obstacles. Besides the description of the various basic surfaces used for obstacle limitation, this guide brings some answers to the problem of the adaptations of surfaces in the presence of obstacles.


[R]eaders from anywhere will appreciate Gregory’s subtly powerful portrait of this community of humans, very much alive within a contemporary natural world, reckoning with the stunning thing that it is to care and to belong.
-Jill Stukenberg, Wisconsin People & Ideas Book Review
...this love letter to people living in Midwestern farm communities is also a story of how women connect even if they haven’t known one another. THE CLAYFIELDS is a tender-hearted story and the author clearly loves her characters. It needs a wide audience.
-Mary Ann Grossman, St. Paul Pioneer Press
Wisconsin readers will note various geographical markers identifying their state, although readers from other rural areas will recognize these characters and situations, which seem universal...
- Steve Luebke, Volume One
Elise Gregory’s novel-in-stories THE CLAYFIELDS, is an utterly absorbing, charming, and original work. Its focus on family, food, farming, and all the generational disjunctions and conflicts of midwestern agrarian life today is so exactly rendered and compellingly nuanced...
- Gregory Spatz, author of INUKSHUK, and WHAT COULD BE SAVED.
THE CLAYFIELDS is a fully imagined novel in stories driven by lunar cycles of growth and decay, grief and joy, birth and death, waiting and renewal—not to mention goats and milk and cheese and corn and love and blueberries and memory and pie and everything else that sustain us. Elise Gregory has brought a world to life in this beautiful, engaging book.
- Samuel Ligon, author of WONDERLAND, AMONG the DEAD and DREAMING, DRIFT and SWERVE, and
A lush, evocative, and beautiful book. In prose both lyrical and precise, Elise Gregory introduces us to an upper Midwestern community that cultivates a host of complicated and interconnected relationships between a cast of unforgettable characters, all of whom are authentically rendered with disarming clarity, while set against striking locales and landscapes. From bluffs perched over farmland, to the local tavern, to potlucks, to milking goats, to harvesting crops, to wandering cornfields at night, THE CLAYFIELDS is a sensual and heartfelt debut.
- Keith Lesmeister, author of WE COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY HERE
Elise Gregory beautifully captures the heartbeat of rural Wisconsin life, where news travels fast, beer is served in pitchers, and bakers vie for ribbons at the county fair pie contest. But there's enough space even in the smallest of towns to hide family history and secrets, both of which unravel with the rhythm of Wisconsin's seasons. THE CLAYFIELDS is charming, poignant and thought-provoking.
- Shelley Tougas, author of FINDERS KEEPERS, THE GRAHAM CRACKER PLOT, A PATRON SAINT for JUNIOR BRIDESMAIDS, LAURA INGALLS is RUINING MY LIFE, and LILY and THAT GUY
Elise Gregory’s novel in stories, THE CLAYFIELDS, made me feel like I was part of a Wisconsin farming community. The novel is layered with both the complexity and simplicity of farming life, the danger and the beauty. It helps us understand what hard work is and what it means to those who do it. This novel is layered with emotional tension, tied to the people and the land and animals they care for and work. The language is both simple and poetic, the stories compelling and linked and revealing more with each season that passes. I am in awe with Gregory’s ability to tell a good story and make me want to be there with them, standing in the manure, all that comes with it. I wanted to know these people. They felt as real to me as anyone I know. Beautiful, beautiful book.
- Laura Stott, author of BLUE NUDE MIGRATION and IN the MUSEUM of COMING and GOING


Of major theological and philosophical significance
is the gnostic division of spirit and nature, the radical
projection of the divine from the universe, and the
consequent distinction of an unenlightened creator of world
cause from the true God. In the teaching of Marcion this
anticosmic dualism became a particular challenge to the
Church in that he denied the identity of the Father of Jesus
Christ with the God of Moses and the prophets through not
denying the latter’s reality. Later, he also strove to
exclude the Old Testament from the Christian canon.
Claiming to follow St. Paul, he thus separated and
distributed to two mutually exclusive gods that polarity of
justice and mercy whose very togetherness in one God
determines the whole dialectic of Pauline theology. Crypto-
Marcionite tendencies have been recurrent in the history of
Christianity. “In modern times, a modified Marcionite
dichotomy has become tempting to theology by enabling it to
concede to natural science the complete autonomy of the
physical realm and to retain a God dealing merely with the
soul and no longer charged with the role of cosmic
providence” (Pearson, 29).

Your readers should be able to follow the flow of your argument without becoming distracted by extra Mla paper. Background Information and History: Earlier editions of the handbook included the place of publication and required different punctuation such as journal editions in parentheses and colons after issue numbers.
So, a five-page paper will normally have five sources on the Works Cited page. Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. The most basic entry for a journal consists of the author name sarticle title, journal name, volume number, issue number, year published, page numbers, name of website or database, and URL or Direct Object Identifier DOI.
While names of other individuals are generally found after the title, for interviews, include the name of the interviewee directly after the title if you feel it is important to include their name.
Formatting the First Page of Your Paper Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested. Ferraro, Gary, and Susan Andreatta, editors. For an article written by two or more authors, list them in the order as they appear on the title page. Books For Us, Any other type of illustrative visual material—for example, a photograph, map, line drawing, graph, or chart—should be labeled Figure usually abbreviated Fig.
Citations with Two Containers: Double-spaced paragraphs A header with author's last name and page number one-half inch from the top of each page. When including a quote in your paper or assignment, place the period outside of the parentheses, at the end of the entire sentence.
To create the header and set automatic page numbering select View and then Header and Footer from the Menu Bar: Enter the first page information. Running Head with Page Numbers Number all pages consecutively throughout the research paper in the upper right-hand corner, half an inch from the top and flush with the right margin.
To do this skip a line, indent five spaces on both sides of the quote, single space and use italics. Citing a Direct Quote Citing a direct quote uses the same form as citing a paraphrase.
If relevant, you may also choose to include the names of personnel involved with the program. Again, be sure to use double-spaced text. Most word processing programs automatically default to using one inch margins.

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, everything in our lives centers on Jesus Christ, and that is why our homes and what happens within its walls, becomes a manifestation of our love and commitment to follow the Savior.
At the center of many LDS families, is the daily gathering to read the scriptures. The October 2011 Ensign is a very special edition, that is completely dedicated to the Book of Mormon. Some of you may have already received a copy, and if not you can either download the PDF, or read it online, HERE.
Most outside of our faith, are perplexed by the emphasis that members of the LDS Church place upon the Book of Mormon. Many feel that this is done to the exclusion of the Bible. As Latter-day Saints, we know that these two volumes of sacred scripture, both testify of Jesus Christ, and witness the divinity of the other. The subtitle to the Book of Mormon reads: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Book of Mormon is to testify of Jesus Christ and brings its readers to Him. The Book of Mormon and the Bible, together, are a powerful witness that Jesus Christ Lives! However, the Book of Mormon also has a very specific mission in the restoration of the gospel. It is the keystone of our religion, and contains a very important promise for those seeking to know the truthfulness of the Church. Therefore, it is imperative that it is shared with others.
President Gordon B. Hinckley on the Book of Mormon:
"The Bible had stood for centuries. It is a precious and wonderful book. Now there was a second witness declaring the divinity of Christ. The Book of Mormon is the only book ever published, of which I know, that carries in it a promise that one who reads it prayerfully and asks concerning it in prayer will have revealed to him by the power of the Holy Ghost a knowledge that it is true." The Stone Cut Out of the Mountain
I've already spent some time reading the October Ensign, and am very excited about it. Not only is this issue an excellent resource for LDS families, but also a great way to share with others, who might be interested, a basic introduction to the Book of Mormon. As you know, interest in the LDS Church is high right now, and that's a good thing. It gives us a unique opportunity to share. Most won't ask us directly what we believe. Most will use Google to search themselves. The problem with that is, unfortunately, Google does not always return the kindest of results. Too often, the results when searching for information about the Book of Mormon, or Mormon Church, are from less than credible sources. That means, that you and I need to be better at putting the good stuff out there to be found. And really, the best way to make that happen is for us to use our social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc... Or you can blog, like me!
With the October emphasis on the Book of Mormon, many online have created various opportunities and resources to help you share the gospel online, by sharing the Book of Mormon. I would really encourage you to find one, or several, and participate -- including sharing the link to the October Ensign.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful video, created by Seth Adam Smith. Seth has a special gift for creating LDS videos, and is always so good about using this talent to bring others to Jesus Christ. Sharing this video is a good way to share your feelings about the Book of Mormon -- by making a brief statement when you post. Recently, on this blog, I shared my personal testimony of the Book of Mormon.
Jeffrey R. Holland Testifies: The Book of Mormon
I really hope that this is a post you will take the time to share with others...
I've been collecting various links to resources, articles and posts, about the Book of Mormon, over the last month, that I'd like to share with you...

2018 BJC Book Brigade Kicked Off February 12
The BJC Book Brigade is back. From February 12-March 19, BJC will collect online book donations to give every public school incoming third-grader in the communities BJC serves a new book to read during the summer of 2018. See a video about the BJC Book Brigade here.
Entering the third year of the BJC Book Brigade, BJC has provided more than 47,000 third-graders with a new book to read during their summer vacation. This year BJC is expected to provide 26,000 books to nearly 400 elementary schools throughout the communities BJC hospitals serve, including St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Columbia, Sullivan and Farmington in Missouri; and Alton, Belleville and Shiloh in Illinois.
Studies have shown that a third-grader’s reading proficiency can improve the likelihood they will graduate from high school and live a healthier life.
“We want to encourage reading, knowing it is the foundation of learning and because there is a relationship between educational attainment and health outcomes,” says June McAllister Fowler, BJC senior vice president of communications, marketing and public affairs, who directs the BJC Book Brigade program. “Our BJC Book Brigade is an opportunity for us to champion learning and support our communities.”
The collection process has been simplified this year, with all books being purchased online — there won’t be any bins or collection points at BJC hospitals and service organizations. The BJC Book Brigade program will also be open to everyone, including patients, family and friends.
Everyone will be invited to purchase their book donation online at BJCbooks.org. Each book costs only $2.50, thanks to BJC’s partnership with Scholastic books. All books have been approved by local school reading specialists to ensure they are appropriate for students going into the third grade.
Email Morrisa Marshall, BJC communications coordinator, or email Emily Brasel, BJC communications director, with questions.
