An Affliction of Our Stories: Contemplating the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Reflections by Derek Thompson – Thlaapkiituup, Director, Indigenous Engagement, in commemoration of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Brave survivors, through telling their stories, have stripped white supremacy of its legitimacy.
Phil Fontaine, Grand Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, in response to the Government of Canada’s 2008 Statement of Apology – to former students of Indian Residential Schools
My mom, Maude, was shipped off to the Saint Michael’s Indian residential school when she was four years old and at eight years of age, she was sent to the Alberni Indian residential school. She’d just turned 17 when I was born as her first child and just out of Alberni Indian residential school. Her mother and father, Irene and Micha, were also Survivors of the Indian residential school experience in Canada, and her sisters Lucy, Olive and Jessie, are also Survivors. I was privileged to be a witness for my mom’s formal adjudication process a few years back, and her testimony haunts me to this day, her story as a brave little girl enduring the lasting impacts of physical and sexual abuse, and all in an effort to determine how much money she should be compensated for her so-called suffering. But what really stays with my mom is the difficulty and discomfort of not knowing how to be a sister, not knowing how to belong and just be with her sisters. As a Survivor of the Indian residential school experience in Canada, she’s lived her whole life simply wanting to belong, to feel a sense of belonging, and that around this time every year, at the start of the school year, in the month of September, she goes through what she describes as our bodies and minds remember that feeling – of not belonging.
This past summer my mom shared a meal with her sisters – my aunties – Jessie and Olive. For a long time, there was a void nearly as vast as the known universe between them despite being geographically only hours apart. I watched video footage on Facebook of them seeing each other for the first time, and it was equally heartening and heartbreaking. My mom hugged each of her sisters and they cried, they giggled, they cried again, they looked at each other with their hands lovingly wiping away each other’s tears, they held each other closer crying all over again, they kissed each other repeatedly on each cheek, and the tears softened into pure and utter joy. The video abruptly ended, and not long afterwards I got a text from my mom, “Hi my Son, I’m out with my Sisters, can you please buy us lunch?” To which I wholeheartedly replied, “Absolutely!”
The time they spent together will forever remain between them. I didn’t even ask my mom how her visit was, and I’d imagine the experience itself was awkward and unfamiliar, emotional and difficult to understand, and altogether overwhelming in every way. But not so overpowering to get in the way of them taking great delight in each other’s company. I imagine three little girls, or teenagers, amused by all things trivial, foolish and cheerful, and as girls do they tell of all things treasured, hopeful and important, these women, now grandmothers, being transported back to a time before their lives were so brutally disrupted.
There are shadows that reflect only a bit of light, and there’s a darkness that lets in no light at all, distinguishable only by the passing of time and silence, memories and nightmares forever fixed to an ocean of grief, and yet buoyant in life and purpose. In this way, my mom has been a mystery to me, fastened but moving. I don’t know the reasoning that brought my mom and her sisters together, I’d like to know, but it’s not my place to know or even ask. There are some shadows that must remain barely lit, and some darkness that if you shone a light, it might just reveal something beautiful, like three sisters coming together to bask in the glow of love, security and acceptance.
My mom’s childhood throughout the horror of the Indian residential school experience, and her life that followed, is much like a story that has no beginning, a middle filled with inexplicable pain and misery as well as moments of happiness and confidence, and a conclusion that has yet to be written. But like any narrative, the ending is dependent on the structure and the accounting of a chronology of life events marking all of the core memories of experiences and feelings. There are chapters missing, some chapters abruptly ending, chapters with a single sentence, and some chapters written in a language indiscernible by the stain of time and silence. I wonder what this chapter means to her and how she’ll write it.
My mom and her sisters, like all Survivors of the Indian residential school experience in Canada, were violently forced into a system that was hellbent on killing the Indian in the child, stealing all that is innocent and wholesome and left victimized. All Survivors were abandoned with their own warped sensibilities of piecing together the brutal and unforgiving history of their childhood – this history that stole our children and who are children no more.
What is at stake in pastness for me is the future and the process of becoming. Truth-telling, reconciling with each other and coming to terms with history provides strategies for countering inequalities of power in the knowledge of the past. We learn how scanty evidence can be repositioned to generate new narratives and how silences can be made to speak for themselves to confront inequalities of power in the production of sources, archives and narratives. We need to make these silences speak and, in the process, lay claim to the future, and move the process of becoming to that of being. If history is being written in the present, if our stories are being told today, it’s time to change the debate of what history was and claim it as ours, and shape it into a narrative that shines a light on what it means to be Canadian in an era of redress.
As we enter this era, now or never, and into this third chapter to commemorate truth and reconciliation, it’s important to consider what is at stake, individually and collectively. How much you contribute to this work is dependent on, well, I suppose that this is entirely subjective. Because who I am to say what it’s dependent on? What I do know, is that we are never so steeped in history as when we pretend not to be, when we invent or otherwise rationalize the wrongdoings of the past, when we take comfort in the trivial and rote exercises of land acknowledgments and orange t-shirts, and when we enrich our privileges with a lack of sophistication. If our national story is hidden in the shadows of oppression and assimilation, if our national identity is based on the segregation of Indians to Indian reserves, if the story of the Indian in Canada is the story of Canada, then I think it’s time to drag out these silences of the past and quiet its deafening ignorance and hate.
For this third chapter to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, what will your story be? What will our shared story be as Canadians? How will we work towards ensuring that we create health and academic systems, spaces, practices, and attitudes that ensure Indigenous peoples feel like they belong, and that they are valued in a way that makes us as health and academic professionals feel like we belong as well?
Their stories of the past – my mom’s story, her mother’s story, her sisters’ stories – are unnerving for me in how untold stories haunt us and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive, and how long held secrets create the narrative that tells us that we’re not worthy of love, not worthy of acceptance, not worthy of confidence, and that we’re not worthy of a life filled with all things good and whole. Chapter after chapter, silence and time pen stories of tragedy, grief and pain unresolved in the span of our lives and often working its way backwards, and never learning that the most powerful story we can ever possess is our own.

Travel is an exciting aspect of life for many people, exploring new locations, settling down in places the complete opposite to home and feeling like you’re on top of the world while standing in some extraordinary scenic destinations. There are many different types of travel that you can embark on in your life, weekend city trips, countryside camping breaks, long-distance explorations and even a day trip here and there.
Whether you are searching for travel inspiration or simply interested in the great journeys made in the past, check out this list of wondrous journeys you can follow in the footsteps of;
Around the World
One of the greatest travel tales of all time, Around the World in 80 Days tells the story of Phileas Fogg, who managed to circumnavigate around the late-victorian world in a period of less than three months. All for the sake of a gentleman’s wager. While Mr Fogg and his travelling companions were restricted to travel by rail, steamer and elephant, you can make the journey yourself by any means of transport, air, rail, boat, the choice is yours!
If you wanted to follow the route Phileas did in the novel, start from London, head to Paris, Turin and Brindisi. From Brindisi to Suez, Aden, Bombay, through to Allahabad and Calcutta.From Calcutta to Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Yokohama and San Francisco. Finally the homestretch sees travel from San Francisco to Salt Lake City, Medicine Bow, Omaha, Chicago, New York City to Queenstown, Dublin, Liverpool and finally back to the bustling city of London. Now that’s a trip!
There are plenty of famous journeys across all of the major world’s religions, from the trek of the Three Wise Men to the birthplace of Christ to the Hajj 2019 pilgrimage(more information can be found on muslimaid.com) expected of all able-bodied Muslims following in the footsteps of the Prophet. While some of these areas are restricted to those practicing the religion, if you consider yourself a spiritual, well-versed individual, respectful, in admiration or involved with religion, these journeys are sure to offer you not only exciting exploration but a deeper connection with your belief.
While a five year sea voyage is not likely going to be at the top of many a person’s travel list, the journey undertaken by Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle is one that is well documented. Charles spent his years of exploration around the South American coastline filling in countless notebooks with natural observations, sketches and retellings of all the animals, plants and geology he came across on his way. He also collected thousands of samples and specimens that he had crated and shipped back home for a more detailed study, all of which were extremely useful in our pursuit of knowledge regarding the natural world.
If you too wanted to tread in the footsteps of the great Darwin, his route went as follows;
England to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands to Salvador, before heading to Rio de Janeiro and Punta Alta. In December, they arrived in Tierra del Fuego before travelling to the Falkland Islands, Rio Negro, the Strait of Magellan and Chilo, where Darwin wrote about witnessing a volcalnic eruption. After Chilo, they departed to Valdivia, Valparaiso, the beautiful Galápagos Islands, Sydney, the Keeling Islands, Mauritius and finally the Cape of Good Hope and Bahia before returning to Falmouth, England.
Why settle for a city break on your next exciting journey when you could follow in the incredible footsteps of those who may have been the first to see the hidden wonders of these exotic and far-reaching destinations. It doesn’t have to be about seeing it all at once but instead incorporating plenty of slow-paced exploration and enjoyment of the sites as you come across them, rather than racing from one place to the next. So get out there and discover your own journey and don’t forget to record your trip! You never know what strangers may choose to follow your path someday.

Belonging, Disability and Diversity
NEDA facilitated three focus groups in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth between March and April 2009 with people from NESB with disability. This report documents their stories and descriptions of what it means to belong, to be accepted and to feel socially included and connected. The report highlights the importance of faith and friendship in understanding belonging and social connection, and emphsises the role of discrimination and poor responsiveness of support agencies in generating exclusion. This report follows on from the February 2009 literature review to explore the meaning of belonging, home and social connection for people from NESB with disability.

Margaret Thatcher: Biography of the Iron Lady
As a child, Margaret Thatcher was exposed to politics early when her father was mayor of their hometown. She eventually studied chemistry at Oxford University, before eventually beginning her political career. By 1959, she was a Member of Parliament, and she continued expanding her political horizons as a member of the Opposition. Thatcher finally became party leader in 1975, and within four years she was Prime Minister. Her controversial decisions gave her fluctuating approval ratings through her tenure; however there is no doubt that Margaret Thatcher indelibly changed British politics forever. In this video, WatchMojo.com learns more about the life and accomplishments of Britain's first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

A Space to Solve Our Queries: A teacher’s view
A week before school starts up again in Milaan School (Swarachna Learning and Resource Center), teachers are participating in training with Sharat and Ananya. Starting early in the day, teachers gather for long, hot, and productive sessions on how they can be sources of inspiration in the coming year. The team has worked tirelessly with them to prepare to engage students in their studies.
On July 22nd, students will rush back into the Milaan School halls. The construction on the school will dwindle down once again, and teachers will prepare to embrace this new year with vigor and excitement. This year, thanks to our supporters, the school will open our library and our innovation lab to teachers and students alike.
In preparation for building our upcoming Milaan School Library, we asked our teachers to define what they think a library is. Being from rural areas themselves, the majority of our teachers have never stepped foot in a library. Their ideas of what a library is has been created through movies and stories. Those few that have been to a library have gone for purely academic purposes to find reference materials. Next month, once we’ve set up The Only Library in Kantain, we’ll ask again to see if their definitions have changed.
The following are their answers to ‘What is a Library?’
One teacher announced, “A Library is a museum which contains all types of books available for everyone.” Many noted that a library contains, “enlightening” and “helpful” books to “increase our knowledge and information.”
Mohamed Parvez, the primary school math teacher, said “A library is a place where there is a collection of different types of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to”
Asha Rastogi, a social studies teacher, said, “A Library is a collection of books where intellectuals find resources to attain further knowledge.”
Amit, another social studies teacher, chimed in: “(A library) is place where we can receive books and newspapers which can give us more knowledge.
Another teacher responded, “A library is a place where we use books to solve our queries, find solution to our problems, entertain ourselves, and to increase our intellect.”
“A Library is important for me because it provides me with books to increase my knowledge of any subject that I want, which helps me in teaching without any difficulty.” said Ratish Mishra, the Sanskrit teacher for students in classes 6 – 12.
Finally, Surendra Kumar, a science teacher, had this to say about libraries, “A Library is a place where you can find books of different fields and subjects which can help you to find the knowledge of any field and subject while just staying in one place.”
For now, teachers mostly defined libraries as being a space that houses books. We’d like to expand upon that definition and create something that really challenges the community, students, and teachers to think critically and explore their imagination.
With one more week left to meet our goal, help us create this space by making a tax-deductible donation through Global Giving Here.

History of The Divine Jul 15, 2013 22:19:41 GMT -5
Post by Zourak on Jul 15, 2013 22:19:41 GMT -5
The history of The Divine goes back numerous generations. This pack has always been around to lay their claim to the Divine Forest from which they were named. The first leader, Kazul, was ruthless and he focused on training his wolves to fight, building their sinewy muscles and working on keeping their teeth and claws razor sharp. With this power and ferocity, The Divine kept all other rival packs away from their lands, allowing them to feed off the plentiful prey that roamed the hills and mountains.
This way of life continued on through the pack’s lifetime, each leader following the deep crimson paw prints of Kazul as they carried on his traditions and kept the pack strong and merciless. Kazul’s bloodline usually held the pack’s leadership, for he always made sure they were the strongest and purest of The Divine.
Fights were held in the ruins come to be known as The Coliseum. It was a place to punish those that were disloyal, murder prisoners, and train to be stronger and better fighters. This became more of a training area than it did a sport when rival packs, driven by starvation and the attacks by men, traveled into the sanctuary of the forest, determined to live there and feast off the number of prey. Tensions grew high, and the packs remained at war for many years to come. During one of the most vicious of these battles between a pack called The Fallen (a group of wolves that broke away from Kazul's ways), Kazul was killed, dragged down by five wolves as he fought like a mad-beast.
A dark circle of hatred from this fell over The Divine, and now they praise the bravery of Kazul as they fight for his redemption.

For the 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment, the National Constitution Center wanted to launch an exhibit on the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. Most of us learned pieces from these amendments in school, the history behind these texts, the decisions that shaped them, and what they have meant in practice are far less familiar. By surfacing the stories and battles behind these documents, we sought to demonstrate that a brief text can contain a deep history that still shapes how we live our lives.
The interactives begin with the final text of each amendment which is physically printed on a drafting table so users can feel the individual words that make up each amendment. As users touch the physical text, the table activates projections that draw out the themes and rights contained in the selected clause. The interactives also include timelines of the events that influenced the framers in the run up to ratification as well as previous drafts of the amendment text. In reviewing each draft, visitors can see how the text evolved over time and learn why even the smallest word choice was so contentious and influential.
I was the Producer and Content Strategist on this project, helping the Constitution Center to structure the material shown in the interactive so that it would be easily digestible for audiences who are unfamiliar with the amendments and their history.

Wanted to share about a book that I grabbed recently about men’s issues. To those who have been following me on Instagram and other social media, its a topic that’s close to heart.
And I particularly enjoyed this book. It’s got a good mix of theory and experiences. Very enlightening.
Robyn Vicekers-Willis is a practicing psychologist who specializes in corporate change management. She has written another book before this entitled Navigating Midlife: Women Becoming Themselves. Talk about gender equality.
Recommending it for people trying to get a glimpse into men’s challenges. Here are a few of the things that the book touches on:
1. The hero’s journey
The book shares about the expectations placed on men to expect an epic of a life based on stories of heroes told. And we have to behave in a way that anticipates that: be strong, don’t cry, be daring, swoon the ladies.
But approaching midlife, life might not turn out to be as expected. This part of maturity isn’t only about being conscious about the false expectations placed on these men, but also reshaping them to a more realistic yet still epic story of their life’s direction.
2. Illusions and beliefs
We build our life on the belief that are acquired over the first half of our lives. Some beliefs are held so strongly that we kill and hurt (ourselves?) over them. At a point of maturity, we begin to question and challenge the truth in those beliefs.
It can be a painful process. But it is one that leads to either an affirmation or change.
– I can do anything if I work hard enough
– My role is to provide for the family
– I am weak if I show my emotions
3. Male Sexuality Evolving
Typically (and a very generous “typically”, at that), men’s conversations about sex is surrounded with bragging, conquests and jokes on libido. Rarely, do you get honest accounts of intimacy and insecurity as found in this book.
Changes that men go through in their goals in sex. From achieving and giving orgasm, to reproduction, to just experiencing the sensitivity and pleasure of touch.
The book also touches on discovering a connection with “inner femininity”, a philosophical take on breaking down self-identity and discovering previously feared parts of men’s emotions and thoughts.
4. The Support System
The book also touches on what might be the most important thing men need to hear: the types of support that they can engage, discussing options like counselling, workshops, seminars and courses, to retreats and men’s support group.
Stories were so relatable. Accounts on being nervous on the first day of retreat and how the awkwardness was immediately dispelled, or how people slowly eased into sharing about their lives and struggles. Good to know I wasn’t the only one who was self-conscious about sharing emotions.
There are many more areas covered in the book and this post barely does justice. Work and career, spirituality, values and purpose. It’s a decent read.
Overall, I found it very comprehensive in terms of its coverage on men’s midlife issues. Most of the issues that were addressed were more analogical rather than research-based, which leads me to believe that it’s catered to the lay person who are interested in the topic.
A big portion of this book also encourages readers to tell their own story (which is rich, coming from a book).


REASON, FAITH, AND REVOLUTION:
Reflections on the God Debate
By Terry Eagleton
185 pp., Yale University Press, $25.00
Terry Eagleton opens his defense of humankind’s God-search with “Religion has wrought untold misery in human affairs.”
Be you evangelical, fundamentalist, mainline Protestant, Orthodox Jew or Reformed Jew, Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, or even a theo-centric Muslim, you might sigh and wonder what sort of ally has enlisted in the defense of the divine.


Nuclear Data Libraries for Advanced Systems: Fusion Devices (FENDL-3)(F44002)
Nuclear fusion is recognised as a long-term energy source. The most important initiative on fusion research is currently the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, and in order to design this and ensure safe operation a wide range of Nuclear Data information is fundamental. Realization that the needs of nuclear data for fusion are different from those of fission meant that it was appropriate to produce a specific data library to address these needs. The Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (FENDL) was the response of the IAEA to the need for a fusion data library, with FENDL-1 released in 1995, FENDL-2 in 1997 and FENDL-2.1 in 2004. A need for data above 20 MeV for material testing prompted a further revision and following this successful CRP it was possible to release FENDL-3.0.
Angular neutron leakage spectra for a 50 mm thick iron slab measured at the FNS facility.
The three Research Coordination Meetings resulted in reports (INDC(NDS)-0547, INDC(NDS)-0567 and INDC(NDS)-0602). The FENDL-3.0 package contains evaluated nuclear data in ENDF-6 format both as General Purpose and Activation Files. In each case data are given for neutron-, proton- and deuteron-induced reactions up to a typical energy of 150 MeV for General Purpose and 60 MeV for Activation files. Not all targets in the General Purpose library contain covariance data and so an extract of the TENDL-2011 library with all the 180 targets of FENDL-3.0 is provided as a "shadow library" so that complete uncertainty calculations can be done. The content of the library is summarised in INDC(NDS)-0628. Processing of the basic files has been done so that a series of files are available for applications (INDC(NDS)-0611). Validation of the library has been carried out and reported in a series of reports (INDC(NDS)-0631, INDC(NED)-011 and INDC(UK)-0094.
14 research institutions have participated actively in this project from 12 Member States: Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, The Netherlands, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovenia, United Kingdom and United States of America.
More Information can be found at the FENDL-3 web page (www-nds.iaea.org/fendl30/) where various versions of the library can be downloaded.
Experimental data for the 181Ta(d,p)182Ta reaction cross section compared with various calculations. These calculations were used in improving the FENDL-3.0 library for incident deuterons.


Tea History, Terroirs, Varieties provides a fantastic gateway to enter the world of tea. This is the book I recommend for any tea drinkers who are about to start a journey as a tea drinker.
I met this book while I was working at Barnes & Noble as a part-timer when I was in college back in 2015. For people who are not familiar with Barnes & Noble, it’s a bookseller brand with the largest number of book retail stores in the United States.
I found this book while I was walking around the store floor out of boredom and slowness. The moment was almost like finding an oasis in a desert. At first, I was intrigued by the cool book design. Soon after, I was fascinated by the fact what tea really was!
It’s been more than 7 years and now there’s a 3rd edition for this book (I read 2nd edition). Whether it’s 1st, 2nd, or 3rd edition, it’s a great book to learn about tea without feeling overwhelmed.
The book covers black, green, white, yellow, oolong, pu’er, perfumed, aromatic and smoked teas and includes:
- An overview of the history of tea
- Tea families, varieties, cultivars and grades
- How tea is grown, harvested and processed
- The tea trade worldwide
- Profile interviews with tea industry personalities.
Special features that loyal tea drinkers will especially enjoy are:
- Local tastes and methods of preparing tea (e.g. macha)
- Tasting notes and infusion accessories
- Teapot recommendations
- Caffeine, antioxidant and biochemical properties of 35 teas
- 15 gourmet recipes using tea
- A directory of 42 select teas.


Prodigious investor Warren Buffett is also an immense reader, says Business Insider.
He spends most of his days reading company documents closely to get ahead of other investors. He also likes a good book. BI compiled some of his favourites, as mentioned in interviews over the years.
The text that laid the groundwork for Buffett’s success is The Intelligent Investor, by Benjamin Graham. He read it when he was 19, and it’s guided his investment decisions since. Another of Graham’s books, Security Analysis has also had a lasting impact on his investing style.
Another writer Buffett respects is Philip Fischer, who argues in his anthology Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits that investors should evaluate company management just as they analyze financial statements.
Also named are books by former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, GE executive Jack Welch, and private equity investor William N. Thorndike. Of course, Buffett’s own book of essays, Lessons for Corporate America, is on the list too.

Daughter Exposes ‘Color Purple’ Author Alice Walker For Harshly Disowning Her & Grandchild
Alice Walker has been a highly honored novelist, poet, and activist. With the success of her groundbreaking 1982 novel The Color Purple, catapulted her career to a entire new level. Over the years,
she’s received many awards for her work, but her most notable accolade for The Color Purple is the “Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.” But now, cont’roversial information about her private life have fans giving her the side-eye. Apparently,
Alice Walker has nothing to do with her only daughter and fans are criticizing her for her looking like harsh plan. Currently, her daughter Rebecca Walker is putting som light on a different side of her mom; the side fans have never seen. Rebecca, also a writer,
not so far shared disheartening details about her childhood and what led to her mom’s decision to disown her. In a detailed write-up, launched by Rebecca, which she wrote for Daily Mail, she explained a childhood filled with neglect. She spoke of her mom’s
obsession with her career and charged her of putting her obligations as a writer ahead of her responsibilities as a parent. She also described how her mom’s feminist beliefs created serious complications that ultimately led to the death of their relationship.
“My mom’s feminist principles [colored] every aspect of my life. As a small girl, I wasn’t even permitted to play with dolls or stuffed toys in case they brought out a maternal instinct. It was drummed into me that being a mom, raising kid and running a home were a form of slavery.
Having a career, traveling the world and being independent were what truly mattered as per her. I love my mom very much, but I haven’t seen her or spoken to her since I became pregnant. She has never seen my son – her only grandchild. My crime? Daring to ask her ideology.
Well, so be it. My mom perhaps revered by lady around the world – goodness knows, numerous even have shrines to her. But I really believe it’s time to puncture the myth and to disclose what life was really like to grow up as a kid of the feminist revolution.


The Tarot of Bones® was born on a cold October night in Portland, OR. Inspiration came from a tarot-themed art show at a local gallery where I was showing an assemblage piece. By the end of the evening, I was inspired to create more. A little over two years later, a completely self-published deck and book arrived at my doorstep.
You can find out more about various aspects of creation of the Tarot of Bones by hovering over “About the Tarot of Bones Deck and Book” on the right sidebar, or scroll down to read about the deck and book themselves.
The deck is based on a series of 79 permanent assemblage pieces created from bones and other natural materials. All of the traditional Major and Minor Arcana are included, along with the Happy Squirrel card, an in-joke in the tarot community based on an early episode of The Simpsons. While the deck has some influence from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, a large part of the symbolism stems from my observations of nature, ecology, and the natural history of the animals whose bones are central to the card assemblages.
You’ll notice that each card has a unique color scheme that is independent of factors such as what suit it’s in, or traditional colors associated with each of the Major Arcana. So if you lay out, for example, all of the Wands cards, the borders are in colors ranging from blue to green to brown, rather than all the cards in one suit having a similar colored border. This is because I wanted the border to match the individual card–and the cards in each suit often vary widely in color and theme. When I was creating the card assemblages, I listened to the spirits of the bones, the tarot archetypes, and my own artistic inspiration, and so each card is the result of those creative meditations.
The companion book is meant to give more insight into that process, as well as how I personally interpret each card. Each card has a brief description, followed by my own take on its basic symbolism. Again, I’m not solely doing with the Rider-Waite-Smith meanings; I add in a lot of natural history and personal symbolism as well. You’re welcome to use it as a guide in your own readings, but don’t take it as holy writ. Add in your own meanings, and allow plenty of room for each reading to show you new interpretations of each card. To that end, here’s the Table of Contents:
Ideas For Further Exploration
The book is 156 pages long, with most of it dedicated to the Major and Minor Arcana. The sample spreads are, again, heavily influenced by nature, so if you’re wanting some good alternatives to the Celtic Cross Spread, they’re in there.
If you’d like to purchase the deck and/or the book (in paperback or ebook format), head on over to the shop!

Beauty writer and book nerd Viola Levy chooses a different scent for each of her favourite characters in literature …
With The Great Gatsby soon to be hitting our screens, my renewed fascination with The Roaring Twenties has led to me frequently spritzing on one of my favourite Penhaligon’s scents Juniper Sling. One sniff of its warm notes of cinnamon, juniper berry and cardamom given a zesty kick with black pepper and immediately I can imagine flapper girl Daisy Buchanan at one of Gatsby’s wild parties, draped in diamonds, a gin martini in hand. As each Penhaligon’s scent seems to have a personality of its own, I realised there were several other famous literary characters I could match a few of them to…
Ellenisia – This cheery, feminine scent would be a perfect fit for Cassandra Mortmain, the heroine of I Capture the Castle. Set in the 1930s, the novel is told via Cassandra’s diary about life with her eccentric family who live in gentile poverty in an old English castle. An uplifting concoction of mandarin, violet, jasmine and tuberose, it’s a scent that never fails to lift the spirits, much like spending time with narrator Cassandra – as anyone who has read the book will attest.
Lily of the Valley –Another 1930′s heroine, Fanny Wincham is the narrator of Nancy Mitford’s famous novels The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate (and later Don’t Tell Alfred). The antithesis of her absent and frivolous mother (known as ‘The Bolter’ for her numerous husbands), Fanny is the most stable and dependable of characters and a caring, loyal friend to the novels’ rebellious and unstable heroines Linda Radlett and Polly Hampton. Like Fanny, Lily of the Valley seems to typify a sweet and unassuming English young lady, with its soft, warm bouquet of jasmine, ylang ylang and rose.
Endymion – A resolutely masculine scent with rich notes of leather and spices, no one is better suited to wearing Endymion than Jane Eyre’s Mr. Rochester. Charismatic, brooding and shrouded in mystery, Rochester manages to win the heart of the intelligent yet naive Jane, who works in his household as a governess. Being well-travelled, he has a touch of the exotic about him, much like Endymion whose dark heart is brightened by dashes of mandarin and lavender.
Bluebell –In The Virgin Suicides author Jeffrey Eugenides doesn’t feel the need to explain the actions of its main characters, the five Lisbon sisters. Instead they haunt the novel like ghosts, as the horrific story of their lives is played out like a Greek tragedy. 14-year-old Lux Lisbon is the book’s most iconic character- beautiful, seductive and rebellious, yet she also seems to inhabit a childlike dream world along with the rest of her sisters. I think the pretty Bluebell (created in the 70s, the decade in which the book is set) encapsulates Lux perfectly, with its baby blue coloured liquid, with notes of sweet intoxicating citrus, softened by a delicate floral heart.

MAPPING THE CONCEPT OF A GOOD SCHOOL WITH TEACHERS’ CHARACTERISTICS IN THE CONTEXT OF A GOOD SCHOOL CONCEPT
Aim. The concept of Good School was formed in 2015, however, the implementation of it has been rather slow. Therefore, the research aim of this article is to identify the educational experts’ viewpoints on the concept. The following questions have been raised to specify the aim: if the concept of the school of general education, presented as Good School, is adequately understood, what features should a teacher have in order to implement the concept of Good School?
Methods. To answer the research questions a qualitative research by using structured interviews was carried out, i.e. experts’ written surveys were analyzed. The study revealed three positions that are discussed in this article: the concept of Good School, the mission and teachers’ features, which are interpreted in the context of the concept of Good School, albeit in a particular way. Results. The analysis of the empirical research data revealed that insufficient emphasis is placed on the value aspect, modelling of community-based school activities and their reflection. The research findings also showed that there has been a considerable lack of attention paid to some of the teacher's competences – there has been a lack of experts’ focus on the personalization of the educational content, its construction in the interaction with the elements of the pedagogical system, the reflection of pedagogical activities, and others.
Conclusions. The concept of Good School is understood by the experts as a map, a conceptual idea, a guideline unfolding the schools’ specificity. The implementation of the concept of Good School should be based on the ideas of constructionism that open the pathways of common development, realization, and improvement of Good School.

Jean-Paul Debenat, PhD, presents an interpretive and insightful perspective on Bigfoot that draws on the “wild man” lore widespread throughout history. A professor of comparative literature at the University of Nantes, France, he became intrigued with Sasquatch through his acquaintance with Bernard Heuvelmans. He furthered his research during a visit to the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s.
Debenat favors the uncommon theory that quadrupedal primates descended from bipedal primates to explain why Sasquatch, as a remnant of Gigantopithecus, may predate modern apes on the evolutionary path.
His extensive research covers the Albert Ostman abduction, William Roe affidavit, the Mount Saint Helens Ape-man siege, Tom Slick’s expeditions, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and Grover Krantz’s theory of Sasquatch evolution. Debenat departs from traditional books on Sasquatch with a detailed discussion of Sasquatch mythology and “wild hairy men” in both Native American and European traditions.
His book, translated by Paul H. Leblond, PhD, contains an index, bibliography, and numerous illustrations. Both beginners and experienced investigators will find this well-researched work an intriguing, fresh look at Bigfoot study.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 – 43 BCE)
De Natura Deorum
[Note: This discussion of Cicero’s view of religion is excerpted from
James A. Santucci’s “Religion and Culture”
Hsi Lai Journal of Humanistic Buddhism
Volume VI, 2005: 40 – 54.
The Western foundations of the term “religion”—in this case I am discussing
only definitions and not a phenomenon existing outside of language—are
enunciated by Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 – 43 BCE) in his De Natura
Deorum. Therein, his definition of “religion” is perhaps the
first extensive discussion of “religion,” and it is of interest that it is
discussed in the context of Stoicism through the Stoic Quintus Lucilius
Balbus. He discusses the topic
under four headings: (1) that the gods exist; (2) their nature; (3) that they
govern the world; and (4) that they care for the fortunes of humans.
On the first point, proof of the gods’ existence is determined by the heavenly
bodies and the sky. The second
point concludes that the world is god.
It is under this second heading that “religion” comes into play. Balbus argues that “the regularity … in
the stars, this exact punctuality throughout all eternity … is incomprehensible
without rational intelligence and purpose.” Knowing the world and the heavenly
bodies reveals also the gods, who strive “to preserve and to protect the
universe.” After a discussion of the gods and
their names, we come to the basis of the argument that Cicero is making: that
there is a “true and valuable philosophy of nature” that has evolved into an “imaginary
and fanciful pantheon.” The popular stories of the gods, such
as those of the epics of Homer, carry little weight, but “though repudiating
these myths with contempt, we shall nevertheless be able to understand the
personality and the nature of the divinities pervading the substance of the several
elements.” Cicero then concludes that the best way
to worship the gods is to venerate them with purity, sincerity and innocence
both in thought and in speech. It is in this context that religion is
contrasted with superstition.
According to the etymology of the latter, those who are superstitious
wish their children to survive them, for the term derives from superstes “survivor (of another’s death).” People, on the other hand, who are “careful”
in undertaking all items involving worship of the gods are termed “religious” (religiosi): a term deriving from “being
careful,” “retracing,” and “selecting” (relegendo). Words such as “selective,” “discriminative,” and “mindful”
seem to capture the sense of relegere, with the root leg- also incorporated in intellegere (to understand) and neg-legere (‘to neglect’). In  a previous section of De
religion and superstition are described in the following manner: superstition
implies a groundless fear of the gods, but religion consists in the pious
worship of the gods. This is a view of the Academic skeptic,
Cotta, who states, in answer to Valleius’ Epicurianism, the question as to why
worship is owed the gods if the gods do not respect humans. If piety (pietas), i.e., the “sense of
responsibility,” and “loyalty,” is defined as justice towards the gods (iustitia
and “religion the pious worship of the gods (…religionem quae deorum cultu
he protests, then how can “any claims of justice exist between us and them, if
god and man have nothing in common?
And so the argument goes. What is
learned from this discussion are the following:
1) “Religion” is characterized by worship.
2) This worship is directed toward the
gods—not the gods trivialized in Homer—but rather the gods who are
known through the regularity of the heavenly bodies, thereby revealing an
intelligence and design behind this regularity.
3) Not only do the gods reveal the order,
the intelligence and design of the universe, they also preserve and protect the
universe from disorder.
4) The worship of the gods must be correct
and “pious,” implying a sense of duty.
5) Worship that is not proper, but rather is based upon the fear of the gods or ignores the gods by wishing merely to be survived by the worshipper’s children is not classified as religion but as superstition.
6) Religion as conceived by Cicero is more
subjective due to his emphasis on the correct intellectual and emotional stance
towards the gods.
7) In sum, “religion” is the “responsible and proper worship of the gods.”
 Cicero, De Natura Deorum, with an English translation by H. Rackham (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press and London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1961). Cicero seems to reflect much of the early Roman sentiment about religion, but through the lens of a version of Stoicism as understood by Cicero. On an overview of the Latin term, see Wilfred Cantwell Smith, The Meaning and End of Religion (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1991 [1962, 1963], 19 – 22.
 Cicero, De Natura Deorum, with an English translation by H. Rackham (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press and London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1961), 124 and 125 (Book II, 3).
 De Natura Deorum, 174: “Hanc igitur in stellis constantiam, hanc tantam tam variis cursibus in omni aeternitate convenientiam temporum non possum intellegere sine mente ratione consilio.
 De Natura Deorum, 191.
 De Natura Deorum, 193.
 De Natura Deorum, 192 and 193: Cultus autem deorum est optimus idemque castissimus atque sanctissimus plenissimusque pietatis ut eos semper pura integra incorrupta et mente et voce veneremur.
 De Natura Deorum, 193 (Book II, 72): qui autem omnia quae ad cultum deorum pertinerent diligenter retractarent et tamquam relegerent, sunt dicti religiosi ex relegendo, ut elegantes ex eligendo ex diligendo diligentes ex intellegendo intellegentes.
 De Natura Deorum, 112 and 113 (I, 117 – 18): Horum enim sententiae omnium non modo superstitionem tollunt in qua inest timor inanis deorum,sed etiam religionem quae deorum cultu pio continetur.
 De Natura Deorum, 112 and 113 (I, 116 – 17).
 If “divine beneficence and divine benevolence” are extinguished, as Epicurus suggested (according to Cotto), so too will religion be exterminated from the human heart.

Dear Young Kings and Families,
We hope that you are enjoying your summer break thus far!
In order to continue to prepare you for the college and career opportunities that lie ahead, we are asking that each 9th and 10th Grade Young King read at least one of the novels on our Summer Reading List (see below). The book reports will be collected on the first day of school, or can be emailed to AP Edwards at firstname.lastname@example.org. Each student who addresses the guidelines for the book report, will receive 50 points of extra-credit for each part of the report that he completes, which will be added to both his ELA and Elective Class 1st Quarter Grade.
Book Report Part 1: Construct a 5-6 sentence summary for each chapter in your selected novel. Each summary must be labeled with the respective chapter and include complete sentences. 50 Points
Book Report Part 2: Create a collage of images and words/statements that describe the theme of your novel. The collage must include at least five images and at least five words/statements. The student must also construct a 7-10 sentence written response that analyzes the theme/message in the novel. 50 Points
Book Report Part 3: Each novel choice on the Summer Reading List was chosen because it connects to many of the challenges that young males face with forming their own identity. Write a five-paragraph essay that describes the connections that you were able to make to the novel that you selected. As you write, consider questions such as: In what ways am I similar or different than a character in the novel? What emotions and/or experiences from the novel connect to my personal life, or someone that I know? What lessons did I learn from reading this novel that I can apply to my own life? 50 Points

Consumer Technical Brief
Markle Connecting for Health
This document accompanies the Markle Connecting for Health Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information. The framework proposes a set of practices that, when taken together, encourage appropriate handling of personal health information as it flows to and from personal health records (PHRs) and similar applications or supporting services.
This policy brief explores how “Millie”—a 21st Century consumer—would benefit under a Common Framework to help her obtain and control electronic copies of her personal health information and connect to health information services. Her character illustrates the needs of millions of U.S. adults who could benefit from greater connectivity in health and health care. The brief provides an overview of the technology resources in the Markle Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information, and it is the companion to the Consumer Policy Brief.


Anya had read it somewhere. You make memories of an event before it happens. Memories could exist in the future. But she hadn’t understood the idea until now. Until in her panic at losing Will, or drowning, or whatever it was she was panicking about, she had turned her loss into a memory she would have. It was the mind’s way of taking out an insurance policy, a means of mitigating the trauma to come. Except this time, the trauma hadn’t arrived and her insurance policy wasn’t needed. Anya wasn’t at all used to panicking. She was not a panicker.
THEY ARE TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART - it's moving, tender, thrilling, important. It will stay with me for a very long time. Megan Bradbury,
Author of Everybody is Watching
A pageturner of some considerable force. David Savill writes with a profound intelligence and compassion about subjects that really matter. Nathan Filer, author of Shock of The Fall.
A remarkable book. They Are Trying To Break Your Heart moves with the force of a thriller, spanning decades and continents with ease. David Savill will break your heart, then put it back together again, page by page, in prose of aching emotional truth. Anna Hope, author of Wake, and The Ballroom.
They Are Trying To Break Your Heart is a beautifully balanced and nuanced novel. Savill threads together the various strands of his story superbly to produce a novel full of the mystery and wonder of the world. Richard Skinner, author of The Mirror
This is the first book I've read that truly represents the political climate of the twenty-first century's first decade. Moving between Sarajevo and Thailand, this multi-layered, global novel tackles what happens in the face of unbearable trauma. The story evokes the pointed and contemporary question: how can we dare to love, when everything around us is broken? Julia Bell, author of Massive, Dirty Work, and The Dark Light.

Books that will make you think differently about crypto trading
Why books are important
“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers,” Harry Truman once said.
In an age of 280-character missives and endless news feeds, books are a sanctuary – offering nuance, depth, and greater understanding.
As we navigate the dizzying and discombobulating world of digital assets, we need to figure out what makes us tick, discover how others found success, and appreciate the storied history behind cryptocurrencies.
Cutting out the noise and seeking context gives us a chance to learn valuable life lessons through the eyes of others – and understand the “why.” Here are five essential books that can help you do this, and why the wisdom within their pages can make you a better trader.
The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain are Challenging the Global Economic Order
By Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey
It’s easy to lose sight of why Bitcoin exists and drown in the hype surrounding cryptocurrencies. This book focuses on the ideology of crypto, its technological underpinnings, and how it fits into the history of money. The clear-eyed approach taken by these two journalists sets out the merits and drawbacks of digital assets – and fundamentally shows how they can change the world for the better.
Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal and Redemption
By Ben Mezrich
Back in 2009, Mezrich wrote The Accidental Billionaires – a warts-and-all retelling of how Facebook was founded. His follow-up book focuses on Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and chapters their lives following on from their legal showdown with Mark Zuckerberg. It tells the story of how they became the world’s very first Bitcoin billionaires – giving us an insight into how they discovered crypto, and the plays they made to achieve success. (Bitcoin Billionaires is now being made into a film.)
Bitcoin & Black America
By Isaiah Jackson
A second edition of Jackson’s book was recently released, and powerfully explains how Bitcoin offers the Black community a powerful alternative to the dollar. He sets out how crypto can be incorporated into Black businesses, jobs and educational institutions – offering “separation from the racist banking system.”
The Crypto Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies
By Glen Goodman
On the face of it, the title of Goodman’s book makes it seem like you’re in for a “get rich quick” scheme – but this is a considered work that’s full of substance. The former journalist, who serves as a contributing expert on cryptocurrency at the London School of Economics, distills complex themes in a compelling way, talking about common mistakes to avoid and delving into the techniques used by professionals.
Out of the Ether: The Amazing Story of Ethereum and the $55 Million Heist That Almost Destroyed It All
By Matthew Leising
Reflecting on the past gives us valuable lessons for the future – and Leising’s book on the daring DAO attack of June 2016 powerfully illustrates how the hack shook the Ethereum project to its very core. In doing so, this thrilling read casts a spotlight on some of the key principles at the heart of crypto – anonymity, decentralization and privacy among them.

The "Policies for OER Uptake" or POERUP project was funded by the European Union and supported by institutions in North America and Europe ().
The project has provided a base for studying OER projects and policies to better understand what governments can do to expand the use of OER. POERUP to date has taken stock of over 300 projects and compiled over a dozen country reports. POERUP now has a significant basis for studying OER practices and policies from around the world. The project is currently in its closing stages and has been reporting back in various forums (). The project released a report in 2013 that synthesizes the findings from 120 OER projects from around the world ().
The study found that OER could be categorised into open courses, open textbooks and digital assets. There is little conformity to a single format or style, with mobile apps being added to the formats that emerged from the early 2000s. Licensing (copyright) and pedagogy remain mixed and complex. Coming to the close of the project, a report outlining possible business models is expected shortly.
Particularly useful outputs from the project in its early stages already, was a registry of policies that include references to OER (), and coming soon, a map of OER projects (beta test site at: ). We hope that this useful project has a second life and goes on to better clarify OER and how OER can support access to education. For more information, see the websites listed above and also a recent slide presentation on the accomplishments of the POERUP initiative ().

POERUP: Supporting the expansion of Open Educational Resources


The Ghana Library Board has embarked on a mobile library project, to give access to children in rural and remote areas in Atiwa and the Kwahu North districts in the Eastern Region.
The vans will target mainly communities where there are no library facilities, Mr. Guy Amarteifio, Regional Librarian, made this known when a US-based Ghanaian family who hails from Koforidua donated shelves, tables and notice boards at a cost of $4,000 to the regional library in Koforidua.
He said the regional library, which was supposed to be the pillar of education had no facilities such as projectors and furniture to meet the benchmark.
Mr Amarteifio therefore appealed to public-spirited individuals and organisations to support the growth of libraries since it was the bedrock of education.
He thanked Professor Kwamena Panford, who made the donation on behalf of the family, for the kind gesture.


In third grade my class went to the library to learn about the term "the real McCoy". At the time, I remember being completely baffled by the fact that the term "McCoy" didn't relate to the term "decoy". The McCoy is the real thing and a decoy is a fake - and they're both coys.
How did they not come about at the same time?
In my third grade mind, I thought that there must have been an instance of something, at the time I envisioned a rubber ducky (the only explanation for this is the fact that I was nine), that was the original. It was called Coy. Then, someone created another version of the rubber ducky, but it wasn't quite right.
People looked at the new ducky and said: What is that? That is not Coy.
Then the creator said: Yes it is, it looks just like Coy.
To which the original's owner replied (annoyed): No, that's not Coy. This is my Coy. This is myCoy! This is McCoy.
And then, to really drive the point home, he said: This is McCoy and that's nothing but a dumb decoy.
And that's how the real McCoy and the lesser decoy came about.
And although I really love the McCoy version of the Lanvin Pom Pom Espadrille's, for one eighth of the cost, the decoy version from Gap is looking pretty nice.
My, how far that library lesson has taken me...

Amongst the colonized peoples of Southeast Asia , the Indonesians were the first to awaken to national consciousness. By the second decade of the 20 th century, the idea of ｀ Indonesia ' as a coalition of the colonial territories of the Dutch East Indies had taken form, and the momentum of the nationalist movement was culminating in political agitations for independence.
Soon after the Japanese Occupation, o n 17 August 1945 , the Republic of Indonesia was declared . The Dutch returned to an Indonesian revolution, the vigour of which saw the transference of sovereignty to the Indonesian Republic in December 1949. Sukarno was made President of the new nation, and the process of nation building was underway.
Modern Indonesian art emerged in response to the Indonesian nationalist movement . A new generation of artists emerged to participate and engage in issues of nationhood and national identity. T he discourse of modern Indonesian art would see clashes between ideas of social relevance, and notions of subjectivity and universalism.
Fashioning Modernity examines the constituencies of modernity in the formative decades of modern Indonesian art through the practices of seven contemporaries.


This blurb is for Kim Cleary's book, Path Unchosen, the first in her Daughter of Ravenswood series. Here's what we came up with together. It's a little different than when I left it with Kim; she's put her own spin on the final product.
Some things make us stronger.
After growing up in an orphanage, eighteen year old Judy Hudson yearns for freedom. She is shocked to discover she is a witch, but willingly starts a journey of self discovery with Purah, her enchanting tutor.
With growing horror Judy watches frightened townspeople burn a zombie victim, she decides to find who is raising the dead and stop them. She used to hide from conflict, but now- with the help of a ghost, an imp and a dragon - Judy has to uncover secrets to protect her independence. What she finds hardens her resolve to make new choices and take decisive action.
It takes courage, commitment and extreme determination to find her place in the world, but in the end will it bring what she most craves?
When eighteen-year-old Judy Hudson discovers she’s a necromancer and sees first-hand the pain her powers can cause the dead, she just wants to deny who she is. The zombie plague is long over. She wants to find a more normal life, but that's a challenge when a beautiful otherworldly man, who claims to be her guardian, saves her life.
Judy tries to set right the harm she inflicted on a spirit she raised, but new zombies attack—zombies raised from among the long-time dead. Someone else just like her is out there, and he's not trying to set anything right. To save her own life, and protect the innocent inhabitants of the nearby town who’ve become her friends, Judy has to figure out who’s raising the dead and why. She must also learn to control the darkness inside her—a seductive darkness that promises her power beyond her wildest dreams.


Western Rock Lobster are proud sponsors of the book “In Search of Fish and Fortune” written by author and master shipwright Bill Leonard.
In Search of Fish and Fortune celebrates the history of fishing and pearling as some of the first commercial trades established following European settlement on the western coastline of Australia, offering an insight into the evolution of design, craftsmanship, skills, and technology of fishing craft.
The development of the fishing and pearling industries and the means by which fishers and boat-builders plied their trade is told through the stories of 15 significant vessels from Western Australia’s five principle fishing areas. Stretching as far back as 1875, these stories are about the grassroots fisher folk and the builders of their unique watercraft that took on the many challenges inherent in Australia’s western seas and rivers, to help pioneer the diverse and prosperous fisheries that exist today.
In particular, Chapter 3 Catching Crays on the Coral Coast – Geraldton and the Mid West Region, and Chapter 4 Gateway to Prosperity – Fremantle and Beyond, showcases the fascinating story of some of the western rock lobster industry’s historic fishing vessels such as Dove and Mafalda.
Showcasing over 60 magnificent line drawings executed with inimitable precision and beauty by master heritage shipwright Bill Leonard, In Search of Fish and Fortune features maps and classic photographs that illustrate the stories of the vessels and the generations of boat-builders, shipwrights, and fishermen that constructed, owned, and sailed them.

Hi! In this journal I want to discuss about EBS services on AWS. EBS or Elastic Block Storage is a storage service on AWS that is at the block level, which is like raw and unformated-devices. We can create a volume on EBS, attach it to an EC2 instance, partition and format it, then mount it to a folder so that it can be used to store data, for example mount to /data. EBS volumes are long-term, which means that data on EBS will not be deleted as long as the volume is still there. We can detach / detach a volume from one EC2 instance and then attach the volume to another EC2. For more details about the features of EBS, it will be explained in a separate journal! here we will try the handon EBS in a simple way. Let’s try. There are several ways that we can take to create an EBS volume. The first is when creating an instance, especially when a display like the following appears.
We can add an EBS volume by clicking Add New Volume. Set it to what device, for example /dev/vdb, specify the size, type, and can directly Next. The EBS volume will be created with the EC2 instance and the volume will be directly attached to the instance.
We can verify the EBS volume in the details of the instance, the Storage tab as follows.
In addition to using the above method, we can create an EBS volume through the Elastic Block Storage menu. Click the Volumes section and to create a new volume, click Create Volume.
We specify the type, size, AZ (adjust to the AZ location of the EC2 instance), we can add keys, tags, and if it’s OK we can click Create Volume.
When successfully created, a notification like the following will appear.
And if you look at the EBS dashboard, a new volume will appear with the status available, which means the volume has not been attached to any instance.
To attach a volume to an instance, select the volume, click Action > Attach Volume
Select the instance and device that is the target volume, for example /dev/vdc then click Attach.
Can be verified on the dashboard. It looks like the status has changed to in-use.
We can verify from within the instance too. You can use the lsblk command and as shown in the image below, there is a new disk named xvdb (the first EBS volume created with the instance), and xvdc (the second EBS volume created from the EBS dashboard).
Before using the volume, you can partition for example with the fdisk command.
And format the partition, for example below the partition is formatted using the xfs file system and mounted to the /data folder
lsblk mkfs.xfs /dev/xvdc1 mkdir /data mount /dev/xvdc1 /data/ lsblk df -hT
Until this step, the volume is ready to use. We can save data in the /data/ folder and the data will go to the EBS volume.
To detach/detach a volume from an instance, make sure the disk is not mounted first. Use the umount /folder command for unmounting.
Then return to the EBS dashboard, click the volume you want to remove, Action > Dettach Volume
There will be a pop-up to confirm and we can click Yes, Detach.
The status of the volume will change back to available.
To delete a volume, select a volume, Action > Delete Volume
And a conformation pop-up will appear, and click Yes, Delete
Then the volume will be deleted and disappear from the EBS dashboard.
Note: Be careful when you want to delete the volume, because the data in the volume will also be deleted.

Starting a Book Distribution Team: The Facts
80% of preschool and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for their children. footnote 1
A recent study shows that while in middle-income neighborhoods the ratio of age-appropriate books per child is 13 to 1, in low-income neighborhoods the ratio is 1 for every 300 children. footnote 2
The most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income children is to increase their access to print. Communities ranking high in achievement tests have several factors in common: an abundance of books in public libraries, easy access to books in the community at large and a large number of textbooks per student. footnote 3
