Poetry Essay Topics For Students
Poetry Essay Topics For StudentsThe Illiad and Odyssey are two of the most popular Greek epic poem that is the oldest surviving ancient classics that can be used to write a thesis on either poetry or history. Using these two well-known literary works as the main topic of your essays is just the thing to achieve good grades and to get better job prospects in your college courses.The Illiad was written by Aeschylus during the reign of the tyrant Orestes. It is quite important because it contains a series of incidents that have led to the deaths of Aeschylus' parents. Aeschylus wanted to give a touch of authenticity to his tale so he had the names of his father's murderers changed to suit the scenario of the narrative.The Illiad is much shorter than the Aeschylus' work because of the additional material that is not included in the Aeschylus' tale. However, what is left out in the Illiad is the whole story and the events leading to the tragedies that are reflected in the Aeschylus' tale. You must be careful to be accurate when writing about the tragedies because you can never really know the truth is that no one can ever know the truth.It is not necessary to look at the history of the Illiad and compare it with the history of the Aeschylus' work. You may also try to relate the characters and events in the two stories but do not take it as an exact comparison. Simply presenting the story through the perspective of the protagonist is the key to successful essay writing.Partroclus believed that the story of the Illiad is very different from the story of the Aeschylus because Aeschylus was much more philosophical than the poet Partroclus. He stated that the Aeschylus story is built on the basis of Greek mythology and does not appeal to the average reader.Partroclus states that the lives of heroes in myths are usually far different from the lives of ordinary people as found in myths. However, he also suggested that the hero may reflect the character of the writer.Both t he myths are very famous and some people enjoy writing about them but they would not be successful if their essay topics were the same. However, both the pieces of literature are very important and have left a mark on the literary world. They are considered as classics of literature and are often used as reference guides in academic works.The writing skills of the ancient Greeks were quite outstanding and they were able to adapt the themes and characters and the essay topics and characters can be seen throughout history. That is why using ancient Greek classics as essay topics is highly recommended to students who want to learn more about the true side of our history.


Sounding the alarm on America's Military and Medical Professions
Book released October 2023!
Available in Paperback and Kindle Format
LOST WARS - CENSORSHIP -
PATIENT RIGHTS - INDOCTRINATION
THE FRONT LINES OF THE MILITARY & MEDICAL CULTURE WARS IN AMERICA
After Vietnam, America and its military said, “Never Again!” Tragically, Afghanistan ended in similar failure despite years of obvious indications that it was unwinnable. I have been treating casualties on the front lines of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and of COVID-19 in America. After graduating first in my class at West Point, I deployed to Haiti as an Army Infantry officer and then to Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Emergency Physician. My writings expose the disconnect between the falsehoods and political correctness of failed general officers and the ground truth of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The human toll never lies.
Eventually, I came home to practice medicine as a civilian and it became very apparent that a cultural civil war was emerging. The COVID-19 pandemic ended centuries of freedom of speech and rational scientific thought and saw the dangerous rise of politically weaponized medicine. I trace the COVID-19 timeline and challenge the official COVID-19 and DEI narratives of health leaders in the government and medical organizations. Dialogues and meetings I had with leaders of several major medical organizations also expose how progressive ideologies are ruining science, medicine, public trust, and the nation’s health.
Envisioned years ago, this book was never originally intended to have been written in this manner. I had thought about writing a semi-classic war novel about my combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan and perhaps another book about the pandemic from the view of an ER doctor in the trenches. Circumstances made it clear that was not to be. Just as I did at the end of my military career, I began a process of trying to make sense of what I was seeing versus what I was being told I was seeing. It was incomprehensible to me that all these disparate issues were popping up in the military and medicine and they did not seem to be random. As I was coming up for air from my military years, I began to notice some political bantering in sports, my child’s school, and even medicine. What had previously been a few extremists whose influence was kept in check seemed to be becoming increasingly pervasive. The deeper I looked, the more I found. The more I found, the more my eyes were opened to the unfortunate trend our country was taking. Extreme political views were becoming accepted as the new culture and were now present in fields that should not have been influenced by politics.
Contemporary medical leaders are imposing their ideology on both physicians and patients using the paradigm CREATE-INDOCTRINATE-ENFORCE. Military leaders are doing the same in our armed forces. Using troublesome war stories and graphic combat photographs from the battlefield and the emergency room, I present this as a documentary and analysis of the state of the military and medicine as seen at my level. My objective is to help train your eyes to identify how and what is happening, then to inspire you to do something about it. These military and medical disasters should never be repeated. America is being destroyed by a cultural civil war. I have come home TO war.
* *10% of the first year of net proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to serve the families of US service members who were killed or died of wounds in Afghanistan.

Welcome to Sri Lankaramaya Library management system.
The evidence of Buddhist texts written in temples in Sri Lanka goes back as far as the first century BC. Over the ages the temple libraries, or ‘Pothgul’, were a major educational tool for monks and nuns as well as the general public until modern educational systems were developed.
It is our duty to share the values of over 2500 year old culture with our multicultural society and let our younger generation smell the scent of our traditions and practices in the light of Buddhist heritage. The major objective of this library is to offer a comprehensive book collection that relates to Buddhist culture and is not freely available in other community libraries.
At present over one thousand books are available in the library which caters to the young up to senior citizen. The majority of these books are written in Sinhala and are associated with Buddhist teaching but a considerable number of books written in English are also available.

I really wish I had a book like this when I was in school, as I can relate to so much of it. It's All About School is written in a very unique and poetic style, which makes it more enjoyable to read. After this first part of the book, there is a very extensive section in which educators are interviewed in order to get their thoughts on a multitude of topics that impact students, such as bullying, violence and gangs, employment and more. There is a section following that which gives a voice to students, getting their perspective on the problems they face at school.
I really liked the extensive content of this book, especially how it was organized so as to include comments from both educators and students in the second part of the book. I would recommend this book to all students, parents, and educators. ~ Amazon LJ

Eddie Collins: A Baseball Biography
The following excerpt from the introduction to this biography offers an explanation of why I was drawn to write it:
After concluding my research, I realized that Eddie Collins was not only one of baseball's most consistently good batters, but perhaps also its best bunter and hit-and-run man, as well as one of its craftiest base runners and finest defensive second basemen. In addition, during his career he was repeatedly referred to as the game's smartest player, both on and off the field....He was certainly one of the game's highest-paid performers, a source of irritation throughout the years to lesser-paid players such as Chicago White Sox teammates Chick Gandill and Eddie Cicotte. I discovered that writing about Collins permitted me to learn about his playing days at Columbia University, where he starred as team captain in baseball as well as the starting quarterback in football. Then there was his professional career, first with the Athletics, then with the White Sox, and finally the Athletics again--teams which for many of the Collins years dominated the baseball landscape, giving rise to his frequent World Series heroics and reputation as one of baseball's best "money" players. Weaving in and out would be Collins' storied bosses, Connie Mack and Charles Comiskey, as well as teammates with names like Frank "Home Run" Baker, "Stuffy" McInnis, "Chief" Bender, "Shoeless Joe" Jackson, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Mickey Cochrane. There would be an opportunity to take another look at the fabled Zimmerman boner in the 1917 World Series and the "Black Sox" scandal--this time from the perspective of one who did not conspire to defraud Chicago owner Charles Comiskey, but who played with this disparate bunch who many believed might be baseball's greatest team. Finally there was an opportunity to view and analyze Collins' post-playing career days as a general manager, vice president, and part owner of multi-millionaire Tom Yawkey's Boston Red Sox. Here Collins scouted and signed Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr, but stood by as the Red Sox turned away Jackie Robinson. The Red Sox became the last organization to sign an African American baseball player when they might have been the first.
When I finished my course on Eddie Collins, I was convinced...(h)e was a fierce competitor whose "game" belied his [small size and] appearance and gave credence to his oft-repeated title "King" of baseball second basemen. I wanted to learn more and write his biography.

This is a working conference. This meeting is the first of its kind, building on the expertise of religious leaders, archivists, and historians and scholars who value our collections. This global approach will provide an opportunity for these groups to meet and chart a course for the future of religious archives in the United States.
Be a part of the program. Providing an opportunity for lively discussion among the three constituencies means that we cannot accommodate everyone. We are looking for active and interested leaders, archivists, and historians who will contribute to building a plan for the future. If you are interested in attending, we ask that you complete the appropriate Interest Application below. The application deadline is April 14. Invited participants will be notified by May 8. Registration will close on June 6.
Act now. Boston College is substantially subsidizing the conference and seeking foundation and donor support to keep the cost to participants as low as possible. We anticipate that the registration cost of $250, which will include two nights’ lodging and all meals, will result in many seeking to participate in the meeting.

- Qus/DIEGO2001B : "Carl Barks's 100th Birthday / The Money Bin Blueprints", in an article from Comic-Con International - San Diego 2001 Souvenir Book, by Dan Shane and Don Rosa (by name only).
* His biography :
Keno Don Rosa was born on June 29th, 1951, in Louisville, Kentucky, and grew up reading his older sister Diana's collection of Carl Barks comics, which made a great impression on him.
In 1969, he started his studies at the University of Kentucky, where he eventually graduated civil engineer. During these college years he works on the school paper, The Kentucky Kernel, where his work consists of editorial cartoons, advertisements, graphics, and eventually a daily strip, the Pertwillaby Papers, which he eventually transitioned into Captain Kentucky for the Louisville Times.
In 1980, he married to Ann Payne, a schoolteacher.
In 1987, after he realized, while seeing a Gladstone comicbook, that drawing Ducks is what he had been waiting for, that he was born to write and draw Uncle Scrooge comics, his first Disney story "The Son of the Sun", an old Pertwillaby adventure transformed into a story about the Disney Ducks, was published in the USA.
In almost all of his stories, she hides a D.U.C.K. dedication, whic means "Dedicated to Uncle Carl from Keno"
It became a big hit and Gladstone asked for more... The next two years, he worked for Gladstone, and also did the art in a few Dutch stories for the Dutch company Oberon. In 1990, he started working for Danish Egmont, with "The Master Landscapist", and stopped working for Gladstone.
In 1995, Don Rosa receives the Eisner Award - Best Continuing Series for "The Life and Times of $crooge McDuck", a 12 parts series about Scrooge's youth, and two years later, the Eisner Award - Best Writer/Artist, Humour.
In 1998, he eventually met his great idol Carl Barks, at his home in Oregon
In 1999, because of Egmont's lack of interest for certain of his stories and ideas Don Rosa starts working also for French Picsou Magazine. "The Coin", a story previously rejected by Egmont is thus eventually printed in Picsou Magazine.
He uses to draw stories which take place in the same universe tha Barks' Ducks' one (he consider other authors as apocryphal), and so he often draws sequels or prequels to Barks' stories, or stories with tons of references to Barks' stories. The only exception is "The Three Caballeros Rides Again", in which he reintroduced two of his non-Barks Disney heroes José "Joe" Carioca and Panchito Pistoles.
He is a member of the Disney Comics Mailing List. One of his good friends are Byron Erickson, his publisher and advisor, and Dan Shane.
* His place in the Barks/Rosa stories universe
First, in The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff", we can see his e-mail address, in Scrooge's scrapbook : email@example.com.
In "The Dutchman's Secret", when Scrooge howls a very bad word, which sounds a little bit like "@ #*%¤!" (sorry about my awful French accent), we can see Don Rosa and his wife, sit on a rock nearby the Montains of the Superstition, who hear echos of the bad word, and tell they understand why some say that these Mountains are hauted, but that if these are ghosts, they're illmannered.
In "Les Inédits de Don Rosa #3", an illustration for Barks' "Dangerous Disguise", he drew himself among the crowd of the arena.
In "Les Inédits de Don Rosa #18", an illustration for Don Rosa's "The Coin", we can see many coins with Scrooge through his life on them (when he was a shoe shiner in 1877, when he was a grumpy old man in 1947, with the Crown of Genghis Khan in 1956, as a Cow-Boy in 1882,...), and on one coin is Don Rosa's head, dated 1999. It seems that the head of Don Rosa replaces his signature on the drawing.
In an extra panel for "The Richest Duck in the World" (Lo$#12), on a wall in Scrooge's manor, we can see a trophy in $crooge's collection which would have been sorta impossible for 1947 : Don's 1995 Eisner Award. About this, Don Rosa told "I'm somewhat torn about the addition of this -- there's no denying that it's a cute gag, but it steps out of the realistic framework that I so carefully create around my stories. But perhaps my attitude is sorta like that scene in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT where Roger was unable to slip his "toon" hand out of some handcuffs until such time as it was funny to do so. Same with me, I guess; I take my Duck comics far too seriously and I will never, never, never compromise the realistic aspects of my $crooge stories, ever, not no time, not no how... until it's funny to do so. But the Eisner Award is hanging on a wall, right? And those background pictures hanging on the wall in Donald's home in the old Barks stories have frequently had impossible things happening in them, right? So, the precedent was already set! Yeah! "
On "Carl Barks's 100th Birthday / The Money Bin Blueprints", and in a poster of the blueprints published in Sweden, the designer is said to be a "K.D. Rosa", while in the final version of the blueprints, in the story "The Beagle Boys Vs. The Money Bin", it has changed into "F.L. Drake", F.L. meaning Frank Lloyd, obviously a pun for the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In all of the versions, on the second blueprint is mentionned "Mosaic tile design to be supplied by Keno Rosa Co. of Louisville", except in the Polish version, in which it's translated "R. Obol" ("robol" is an unpleasant word for worker). In all of the versions, the drawer is said to be D. Shane.

Corporate books, the compelling way to share your story
Our resident corporate storyteller, Jaqui Lane spent several months interviewing and researching the Aspen Medical 10th anniversary book, A decade of making a difference. From start-up to a global leader in innovative healthcare solutions.
Here at ArmstrongQ we help Australian companies tell their stories. A few years back we worked on the 10th anniversary book for Aspen Medical, an innovative healthcare solutions company based in Canberra.
We undertook the design and production of the book, a soft-cover publication of 92 pages, that captured the dynamic story of this private company into one of Australia’s leading specialist healthcare solutions companies.
It was an interesting project to work on as most of the story resided in the memories of the founders, Adrian Walker and Glenn Keys, as well as key staff, some of who have been with the company since its foundation.
In designing and producing the book we were conscious of the fact that it was going to be utilised as a marketing and promotional tool for the company in the Middle East. This meant careful consideration in relation to the images selected for the book. Fortunately, Jaqui has spent several years working throughout the Middle East, as was able to guide the client and the ArmstrongQ team as to the nuances of this market.
As a marketing tool the book needed to work across a number of different countries and be an engaging, informative read. The extended soft cover format meant cost savings for Aspen in postage and handling, and made it easier for Aspen Medical team members to take multiple copies of the book with them on
The book was also used as part of tender submissions and presentations as well as gift to all Aspen employees on the evening of its 10th anniversary dinner.
We are, therefore delighted to hear that the founders of Aspen Medical were announced as the winners of the 2016 EY Entrepreneur of the Year a few weeks back.
Jaqui comments that:
‘Both Adrian and Glenn are passionate, driven and dynamic leaders, prepared to take risks. The team at Aspen Medical share their passion and have made a difference to the lives of many people around the world. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to spend time with Adrian, Glenn and the team and it might be that we need to update the book for their 15th anniversary in a few years.’
Capturing your business story, no matter how young or old you are, is a compelling and valuable way to engage key stakeholders, market your business and inform the market, industry sector and general media about who you are, what you do and why you do it.

Boston, MA — Racemaker Press is proud to announce the publication in May of the authorized biography of Wally Dallenbach, titled ‘Steward of the Sport’. Written by renowned journalist and author Gordon Kirby, Wally’s biography is another in our series of books on American Championship racing.
During his tenure as Chief Steward of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) Wally had a profound effect on the sport. With his deep concerns about driver safety, adherence to a consistent set of rules and calm demeanor on times of crisis, Dallenbach drew on his own experience as a driver to make American Championship racing a better sport for the drivers, teams and fans alike. He is truly one of the unsung heroes of the span of time during which he served as a key official and decision maker, the latter part of twentieth century through his retirement in 2001.
A self-made racer from New Jersey, Dallenbach raced dragsters, stock cars, midgets and sprint cars before making his name as the winner of five Indy car races with Pat Patrick’s team in the mid seventies, including the 1973 California 500. During this time Dallenbach moved west to Colorado and started the Colorado 500 motorcycle ride before retiring in 1980 to become CART’s chief steward.
Over the following twenty years Dallenbach built a rare reputation as a cool-headed, even- handed steward who became a tremendous proponent of improving all aspects of safety in motor racing. With the help of Doctors Steve Olvey and Terry Trammell and safety directors Steve Edwards and Lon Bromley he developed the sport’s most progressive, state-of-the-art safety and medical team.
And by working closely with the teams and car builders Dallenbach and his group also influenced many improvements in car and cockpit construction, embracing better ways to absorb energy on impact. In 1976 Dallenbach started a rescue team at home in Basalt, Colorado. He began by conscripting twenty friends to take an EMT course, then buying an ambulance. After becoming CART’s chief steward he applied those lessons to the sanctioning body and developed a state-of-the-art safety team complete with a traveling hospital, doctors and nurses.
Dallenbach looks back with great pride that he worked through an era when Indy car racing was at his global height. F1 world champions were in the field including Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and Nigel Mansell and CART races built a huge worldwide following, challenging Formula 1 for a few years for global supremacy.
Looking back over the 110-year history of American championship and Indy car racing Dallenbach emerges in a class of his own as the most respected chief steward the sport has ever seen. Wally celebrated his 80th birthday in December, 2016 and remains as active as ever in and around Basalt and on his ranch in Frying Pan Valley.
‘Steward of the Sport’ is a large format, 190 page book comprising twenty chapters and 140 photographs. Racemaker Press will release the book at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the end of May on the eve of the 102nd Indianapolis 500.

Vanessa & Drew April 28th
Is life a fairy tale? I am not so sure how to answer this or if there is an answer as it seems complicated, but I do think fairy tales are best when they are true. This one I am about to share is one that is mostly true.
Once upon a time there was a beautiful young maiden (aka Martha, my sister) who grew up and married her own handsome prince (aka Chris). He did not rescue her as she was able to rescue herself. Anyway, part of their happy-ever-after included the birth of 2 very special princesses )Vanessa & Sarah). This is the tale of the older one of these girls. She was raised to be kind and creative and independent. She was also very smart – just like her mother. Like her mother she did not need saving or freedom or glory. But, like all fairy tales there is not an automatic happy ending. Happiness is never handed to even the most lovely of people; it has to be found and grasped.
Fortunately, as in every other fairy tale, the nice characters always triumph and this first born princess is more than nice and pretty and smart. Her inner character is as amazing as her external visage and beautiful personality. It was all rewarded; her sweet spirit paid off! I am so grateful that her prince (aka Drew) turned out to be similarly gorgeous inside and out. True love exists and these two “found” each other on the scavenger hunt of life, both literally and figuratively. And grasped the treasure of a relationship!
One more thought – the “fairy godmother” in this fairy tale is none other than the Lord (the operative word is God)! Of course, Drew and Vanessa (the prince and princess) both have a number of godly people they can go to for advice and perspective, but both have the best source of wisdom in their relationship with the most high King of Kings! (which is way better than any magical sidekick).
Vanessa & Drew, May your life together be full of happy moments – more than the struggles – and may you live happily ever after. May you fight the good fight of faith together. May you work together to create the narrative of an even better life than a fairy tale alone.
I love you both! You wedding day is the day you think you love each other most and best, but it is the one day in your whole marriage that you will love each other least – you will love more and more every day!
With joyful hope, Aunt Miriam


Recently I put out a post regarding two different beginners sets, Pathfinder and D&D, and to say I got a little feedback from the post is like saying the Titanic took on a little water...
Overwhelmingly though, the D&D faithful put forwards two views on the matter.
1 1) They too were disappointed by the starter set
2) Quite a few (not all by any means, but enough to make me wonder) believed that Pathfinder were selling a slightly more expensive product with a lot more production value than their normal offerings, in an attempt to get more people into their game and thus cheat D&D of their rightful following.
So, considering that this might indeed by the case and that the Pathfinder box set may indeed be “Gamer Crack” to get people in before giving them something inferior, I took a look at a few different pathfinder modules, campaign settings, and general bits. I also put them forwards for the beginners to take a look at, because at the end of the day, while I may like them or be willing to read through a million words of text to get to the shiny at the end of the rainbow, a lot of beginners really aren’t...
Todays offering is the Inner Sea World Guide, which (reading the introduction) is the latest incarnation of the world guide to Pathfinder and the third edition of the same. They note that they’ve made changes, removed things that people didn’t find interesting or useful, or added things that people thought were missing.
So, from the top, Production values are excellent, good hardcover with excellent binding, full colour throughout with images on almost every page, I found a few pages that didn’t have artwork, but the key point here is that I had to go looking to find pages without artwork, so from the point of view that this is one of the core books that beginners will pick up, the level of art provided and the production values therein appear to be a constant.
The book is divided into seven different sections, each of which details a particular part of the world. Part One is the races of the world, each with a sample illustration of a member of that race, sample names, details of cultures and traditions, and enough to get a grasp without being swamped by details.
Part Two is the descriptions of the Inner Sea regions themselves, from Absalom to The Worldwound, again, for the most part a single illustration detailing something of what you might find in the area, then details on what goes on there, the races that live there, religions that are practised. It’s not a massive amount of detail, but it’s enough to give you an idea of what you want to do and where you want to go.
Part Three deals with Religion, Deities, Gods, Philosophies and the like. Given that the world is one in which various gods are seen to grant powers and abilities, this section gives you enough to get a concept of the gods, but not enough that they seem in any way familiar.
Part Four is the section on daily life, and interestingly enough, this is the shortest section in the book. It touches briefly on currency, day and month cycles, travel and living expenses, but covers each only in small detail, presumably because most characters will be out adventuring for the most part, but still...
Part Five details various factions that exist in the world, from the Aspis Consortium to the Pathfinders themselves, together with what each faction does, what they are good with, their allies and enemies, and why you might want to join (or avoid) each faction. There are ten minor factions and five Major factions presented, with the full detail going to the Majors, each of which has worldwide influence in the setting.
Part Six covers Adventuring, and is more the details of what the characters might need and what they might come across in day to day travels across the realms. It’s a short section, second only to the Life Section, and the information is densely packed in for ease of reference.
Part Seven covers Monsters, new monsters specifically that aren’t covered in the Bestiaries that form a part of the core set. Not a long section but colourful and interesting.
Which brings us to the summation, it’s a worldbook, not a campaign book, so the basic details of everything about the world are what I was expecting from this book. It needs the Pathfinder basic rules to work from and if you’re going to get out there and hit things, you’ll need one of the Bestiaries as well. It’s well presented throughout, the amount of art through the book is consistent with what was found in the beginners set, and the images have clearly been commissioned with a particular thing in mind, it’s not used multiple times, and the writing throughout is consistently clear and evocative, which is good for experienced players, but great for inexperienced players, giving them a good impression of the world, the good, the bad, and the ugly within, and the nature of the world that they’re intending on adventuring within.
The final part of the book is a massive map enclosed at the rear. While not as detailed as the map found in offerings like Numenera, it does the job required well and without any issues.
In all, I can’t say that I found this lacking when it comes to the level of presentation given, and this is one of the main books for this particular system, I’ll be reviewing the modules and MRB separately, but this certainly sets a strong precedent that the beginner set does actually have the same production values as the regular products.


NATIONAL ACADEMY OF KUNG FU WUSHU - YI QUANHISTORY OF YI QUAN
ROOTS OF YI QUAN :
During centuries, the art of Kung
Fu remains the same and it is only in the middle of the 19th century
that it changes under the impulse of Kuo Yun Seng.
Kuo Yun Seng was called " the Divine Palm ", and he was the greatest expert of his time in Xing Yi Quan (the boxing of the unit of the body and the thought : Xing = form, Yi = will, thought, Quan = fist, boxing, or in its original significance " to do instantaneously what the heart decides ").
He insists on the postures and simplifies the form of the Tao Lu, then transmits his art to Wang Xian Zhaï, his preferred disciple.
HISTORY OF MASTER WANG XIAN ZHAÏ, CREATOR OF YI QUAN :
Master Wang Xian Zhaï was born in 1885 in the Hebei province.
At the end of the 19th century, in China, Master Wang Xian Zhai had observed that the Chinese society changed. The profit, base of a modern mode of production, revolutionized the relationship between the men. The martial arts, component of this same society, had them also tendency to lose their essence. The practice of the fast movements, therefore badly controlled, the exaggeration of the importance of the muscular force and hardening with excess of the body, often with a conclusive aim, characterized the majority of the practise. He then decided to return to the sources of Kung Fu, at a time when one could control " the movements of the immobility ", immobility which is the " mother " of any movement.
In 1913 he was engaged as instructor with the army.
In 1918 he crosses China from North to the South, he observes and learns the essence of other styles which include techniques of fists and legs. He also makes a stay at the monastery of Shaolin where he is involved in particular with the higher bonze, expert in Xin Yi Quan. (Xin = the heart)
This assiduous study helps him to discover what he seeks : control of the speed and the force by the concentration, the relaxation, and the slow movement, thus restoring a true return to the sources of art. Until the 12th century indeed, the practice of Kung Fu passed by the mobilization of the thought, the control of the posture and the slow movement, to reach the explosive force. The method used named Zhan Zhuang, which means " to remain upright such as a tree or a pile ".
The two experts find themselves perfectly in their mutual search. They share their techniques to supplement their work.
In 1925, Master Wang Xian Zhai declares that " the practise in general neglect the importance of the thought in the movement ". He creates Yi Quan in which you find the linear work of Xing Yi, circular displacements of Bagua, the principle of " sticking and following " of Taïji and the essence of other styles such as the essence of the school of Shaolin, etc...
He preaches a martial arts serving health while proving to be a method of effective combat.
It was a new way of considering the martial arts because of the absence of forms (Tao-Lu), the most significant being the concentration, the will.
In 1940, the colleagues of Master Wang in Beijing recognize the value of his art and give it the name of Da Cheng Quan.
The term Da Cheng means great success, achievement, perfection.
Da Cheng Quan thus means the great achievement of the harmony of the body and the spirit.
Later, Master Wang, always modest and conscious that one never reaches the great achievement in Wushu, returns definitively to the name Yi Quan.
It is just today to respect this desire.
From the beginning of the Fifties, he teaches Zhan Zhuang Gong (position of the pile or position of rooting) in various medical institutes.
Master Wang Xian Zhaï died in Tien Tsin.
THE THOUGHT OF THE CREATOR OF YI QUAN :
SUCCESSION OF MASTER WANG XIAN ZHAI :
MASTER YAO ZONG XUN (1917-1985)
The best pupil of Master Wang
were Zhao Dao Xin, installed in Tiantsin where he created his
own method and have practically not left any pupil, You Peng Xi,
from Shanghai, which has make in the same way and the one which
will become his successor, Yao Zong Xun from Beijing.
Until 1985, year of Master Yao
Zong Xun's death, everyone, including Wang Xian Zhai's daughter,
which she reports in her book, recognizes Master Yao Zong Xun
as the successor of Wang. He is the last who has made the Yi Quan
school evolve and at the same time the most gifted and the most
honest of the three.
Very young, Yao Zong Xun begins the study with Wang Xian Zhaï who considers him as his son. In 1940, Wang names him his successor and gives him the nickname Ji Xiang (the successor of Xian) and symbolically offers him a demonstration costume. From this day, Yao Zong Xun has replaced Wang when this one misses, taking up the challenges and teaching.
Yao Zong Xun was an expert of a very open spirit ; he knew the techniques of the other schools, therefore he always took the best of each style to include it in his practice of Yi Quan.
He said to his pupils: " Learn Yi Quan ; if you have other valid techniques, keep them, but apply them through the principles of Yi Quan ". He also taught his pupils the totality of his knowledge without mysticism nor superstition.
Master Yao Zong Xun died in 1985,
leaving his two sons and good students.
YI QUAN TODAY :
Different schools developp themselves,
especially in Beijing's area.
In Japan, Yi Quan is known by the Taï Ki Ken students. Taï Ki Ken was created by Master Kenichi Sawaï, former student of Wang Xiang Zhaï, but who mainly studied under the direction of Yao Zong Xun.
Yi Quan schools exist in France, Italy, Argentina, Great-Britain, Portugal, Singapore and Hong-Kong.
In Europe, Yi Quan was introduced
Westerner which was initiated by Master Yao Zong Xun.
Master Yao Zong Xun and Ilias Calimintzos
of Master Yao is still united.

by J.I. Packer.
There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. Packer’s book tells us who this God really in all of His attributes including not just His love and mercy but His wrath and judgement. A false view of God leads to a false worship and false discipleship. Today’s followers of Jesus need more need to know the God of Scripture and it is this God to which Knowing God points us.
12 Rules for Life
by Jordan Peterson
Peterson has become a global phenomena because of willingness to speak truth to a culture hungering for truth but feeding on the lies of the modern culture. He begins his presentations by saying, “The world is suffering and malevolence but you are still responsible”. He makes a compelling case that meaning and purpose follow and depend upon assuming responsibility for yourself and the world around you. The responsible person is no longer a victim.
The Knowledge of the Holy
by A.W. Tozer.
Before God is love He is holy. “Holy, holy, holy” says both Isaiah and the Apostle John. His love is first a holy love. The Scriptures tell us that "without holiness no one will see the Lord” (Heb 12:14 NIV). Tozer’s book is a wonderful primer for those seeking to know the true God and His holiness.
A Hobbit, A Wardrobe and A Great War
by Dr. Joseph Loconte, Ph.D.
This book chronicles how the combat experiences of WW I shaped the theology and writing of both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. “War is hell” is not quite accurate: “War reveals hell”. Lewis and Tolkien both made a conscious decision to tell the truth of what had been revealed to them in the War through story rather than historical narrative. We would not have The Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia is it were not for the trenches of WW I.
The Second Mountain
by David Brooks.
Brooks shares with us his journey from the first mountain to second; from a life lived mainly for self to a life lived mainly for others. It is also his journey from Judaism to following Jesus. The candor and vulnerability of his failures and struggles will be an encouragement to others whose are struggling on their journey towards faith.
One Thousand Gifts
by Ann Voskamp
The word eucharist means “giving thanks” and in this book Ann tells the story of her discovery of what it means to give thanks even for what she calls "the hard eucharistos”. A friend once told me that “Ingratitude is the mother of all sin”. If he is right then gratitude is the first step to be taken on the journey of becoming a disciple of the One who gave thanks even though He knew the suffering that was coming.
The Chronicles of Narnia
by C.S. Lewis
The combat experiences of WW I shaped Lewis’s worldview and ultimately his theology and writing. The Chronicles reflect how he came to understand the world in which we live, a world caught in the midst of this cosmic conflict between good and evil. He chose to share the truth of his understanding through story rather than historical narrative. Written for children The Chronicles are a must read for anyone wanting to understand the reality of this cosmic conflict between good and evil and the Narnia that is to come.
by Chris Lowney
Set in a business rather than religious context this book speaks to the leadership principles of a 450+ year old “company” known as the Jesuits. Those principals include self-awareness, ingenuity, love, and heroism. Four principals that were lived and exercised before technology, the Internet and social media. These are time tested principles that leaders today would be well advised to understand and embrace.
Shop Class as Soulcraft
by Matthew B. Crawford
Matt has his Ph.D. from the Univesity of Chicago but makes his living rebuilding and repairing motorcycles out of his shop in Richmond, VA. The challenge of getting his Ph.D. was never able to supplant the fulfillment and joy of working with his hands to fix something that was broken or would not work. This book wonderfully gives meaning and value to that part of the work force normally thought of as “blue collar”.
Conformed to His Image
by Kenneth Boa
One of the most compressive books available on spiritual formation. Spiritual formation or, better said, discipleship is serious business and the casual follower of Jesus will find this book to be tough sledding. This book is a life changer but only for those are willing to get serious about following Jesus and willing to pay the price demanded to become like Him.

Europe Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia.
Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains.
Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area, covering about 10,, square kilometres 4,, sq mi or 2.
The only continent smaller than Europe is Australia. However, the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one, leading to various perspectives about Europe's precise borders, area, and population.
Europa ist das westliche Fünftel der eurasischen Landmasse und wird historisch und kulturell begründet meist als eigenständiger Kontinent betrachtet, obwohl es eigentlich ein Subkontinent ist, der mit Asien zusammen einen Kontinent bildet.
Insgesamt hat Europa eine Fläche von etwa 10,5 Millionen Quadratkilometern und ist damit nach Australien der zweitkleinste Kontinent. Der Kontinent besteht zurzeit politisch aus 46 souveränen Staaten.For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Maps Europa.

A petition to City of Edinburgh Council was originally launched at a public meeting at Central Hall, Tollcross, on 29 May 2018, at which signatures were collected, but was initially rejected by City of Edinburgh Council, and so was re-submitted online, in the end twice, before eventually being accepted on 20 July 2018.
For more information see:
Let There Be Light Edinburgh, Public Meeting 29 May 2018 Gathering audience in Central Hall, Tollcross, 29 May 2018
Edinburgh Central Library vs Virgin Hotel petition stated that:
We the under-signed call for the City of Edinburgh Council to safeguard the Category A listed Central Library, a key resource in the literary and cultural landscape of the nation’s capital, and:
1) Require a detailed report on Edinburgh Central Library as a flagship cultural project of national/international significance commensurate with existing professional advice to the Council and the Council’s own reports*.
2) Require a detailed report on purchasing back land and buildings which form part of the India Buildings hotel-led development, sold by the Council without a full consultation on the implications for the Central Library.
Architect Neil Simpson was Let There Be Light Edinburgh’s delegation of one, with support from the group in the public gallery when the petition was presented to the relevant Education Children and Families Committee on 11 December 2018 and is reproduced here:
‘Thank you to the Committee for the opportunity to speak to you about the concerns of our group Let There Be Light Edinburgh for the Central Library and I firstly want to note wide public interest. The petition on the council website stems from a public meeting in May this year at Central Halls in Tollcross which was attended by 350 people; SAVE Edinburgh Central Library, our fundraising arm associated with the judicial review, raised £30k from over 500 donators. And the separate 38 degrees online petition has over 5 ½ thousand signatures. Interest in the future of the Central Library includes writers such as Irvine Welsh, Val McDermid, James Robertson, Jackie Kay, Sir Tom Devine and has stretched across the pond to include Margaret Atwood.
We are not here today to replay a planning decision which will bring Edinburgh the accolade of the first Virgin Hotel in Europe but rather, to discuss the stewardship of the Central Library. We appreciate that this committee’s new responsibility in that role sits alongside the responsibility for other important city services.
The Central Library is an anomaly in your asset portfolio, a different scale to any of the community libraries. The range and depth of its rich historic collections is its principal strength. It is not only the local library for Old Town residents but the city’s flagship library, in a city which is the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature. A fond emotional attachment is held by many citizens from across the city, as they recall that the Library has offered them a place to pursue knowledge and information, providing a route for social mobility, or simply a welcome space for contemplation. Its central location next to other important libraries and places of culture (and leisure) means it is easily accessible by all (until that is we get in the front door).
Usher Hall, Kings Theatre, Commonwealth Pool, the Assembly Rooms, they’ve all been at it ….I have been told that the Central Library was always ‘in the queue’ for capital investment. What happened I wonder? And why is there no sense of urgency?
The predecessor to this committee have received many useful reports. In 2002, still with the Annexe across the Cowgate, we are told the Library is “labyrnthine, inefficient and inaccessible to many”…the route between the Art & Design Library and the basement toilets comes to mind.
The conclusion of this important Conservation Plan by LDN Architects for the A listed George Washington Browne building is that:
“It would be a hugely wasted opportunity if the [Cowgate gap] site was developed for other uses without seriously considering how it could, not just solve the existing problems of the Central Library, but re-invent the Central Library in a form relevant to 21st century needs and aspirations. The concept of expansion on the site addresses virtually all problems currently relating to the Library.”
2008 was a crucial year for the Central Library and if you only have time to read one document I recommend the Central Library Strategic Options Development Study, again by LDN architects. This exemplary report explains the value of City Libraries, cites national and international exemplars, reports on workshops that brought together officers and elected members from across the Council to discuss the Library under clear criteria of assessment. Options, including moving to a new building, are compared. The clear preference, again, was to extend onto the Cowgate gap site with a new purpose made facility linked to the re-developed existing building. The evidence is there for a rational and rigorous process.
However 2008 did not end well. Somehow, and without as far as we can see, full explanation (though a projected capital receipt of £5.25m is mentioned) the Policy & Strategy Committee agreed to consider options for the disposal of the site to the rear of the library. However, even at this point, the likely requirement for some future extension of the Library was to be included in any development proposal.
In 2011 the idea of a wider regeneration project comes to full fruition, called the Literature Quarter Project, and now including the owners of India Buildings on Victoria Street. This proposed to link the Central Library with shared spaces – I don’t think anyone quite knew how this would work – to a literature themed hotel that now stretched all the way back to the Cowgate. The George Washington Browne building we were told would be completely refurbished as part of these proposals and, there was an urgency.
The Policy and Strategy Committee told us:
“The Central Library remains in critical need of major investment to create a building fit for purpose. The estimated cost to meet basic refurbishment requirements for Health and Safety and Disabled Access is around £10m….proposals are now required to address the critical condition of the building and deliver a Central Library fit for purpose for Scotland’s capital city in the 21st Century.”
Where has the sense of urgency gone? In 2016 planning permission was granted for the 225 bed newbuild hotel on the gap site and this public land was subsequently sold as part of an off-market transaction. We were surprised that not even the reduced capital receipt of £3.4m was ring-fenced for the Library. This committee has some understanding of the resulting lost daylight but the stolen sunlight and views are less easily quantified. The Virgin Hotel represents a 180 degree about face on the ambitions for the Central Library since the exemplary study at 2008. Instead of ample room to extend and modernise it has been given a straight jacket and I suggest, a blindfold.
There remains then ONLY the possibility of expanding into the vaults below George IV Bridge. In fact Library Services had commissioned a Feasibility Study in 2014, by architects Bennetts, which did just that. Otherwise these proposals stay within the footprint of the existing buildings. This 2014 study is the latest proposal before this committee and deserves your close scrutiny.
In my professional opinion it simply does not deliver: Proposals to use the vaults below George IV Bridge carry a strong caveat about water ingress and books have not been placed here. Instead we have multiple black-box spaces, part of an unnamed ‘cultural hub’, which appear to prioritise festival income. Is this we wonder at the expense of the libraries core services?
Most important is that we are told there is not enough floor area. Library Services own requirements can not be met. Further, this floor area brief at 2014 is a drastic reduction in ambition from 2008. We are told there is no room now for the long desired partnering of the City Archives.
In the difficult task to bridge floor levels between two existing buildings the circulation is a guddle of minor ramps. Welcome new lifts are not easily found on entering the front door. A café is planned where the current children’s library sits and we have the ubiquitous rooftop restaurant, both fine. However the tranquillity of the domed Reference Library, perhaps the best municipal reading room in the country, is interrupted with a new hole in the floor displacing the centrally positioned study desks.
And where storage rooms are proposed to be newly converted to public use, at the book stack for example illustrated by the architects with streaming sunlit and Old Town roofline views, we will instead have a hotel wall only meters away. Worse is that hugely important collections will be relegated to lower floors in the shadow of the Virgin Hotel. The Art and Design Library and below that, the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection will be darkened by 82% by the hotel.
What to do? Looking back at the well reasoned options in LDN’s 2008 study, the second best option, after expansion into the gap site, was consolidation of the heritage collection including the city archives at George IV Bridge with a separate lending Library located, for example, on Princes Street. This solution would not satisfy many of my colleagues but does illustrate a possible way out of a very difficult situation.
Finally this committee may be aware that Property Condition Surveys have recently been completed and the Central Library received a C or ‘Poor’ rating – one away from the worst category where the building is falling down. How much of this relates to long-standing urgent work noted in 2011? How much of this is health and safety or disability discrimination act related and when, we wonder, will this be carried out. Could or should this be the catalyst for the capital project?
In summary, most of the issues identified in repeated studies about the Central Library remain and if anything recent years, epitomised by the acquiescence to the Virgin Hotel, have seen a distinct loss of urgency and worse, a perception of no real concern. Notwithstanding the move of the Music and Children’s Library from the Annex, the Central Library remains on the whole a neglected building…I’m thinking of the single small lift that delivers you – not quite – to the Art Library, there’s still another half a dozen steps to negotiate. The palpable decay is particularly evident when measured against other cities. I’ve just come back from Amsterdam which has a superb new City Library. Manchester and Glasgow have invested in their historic City Library buildings and I highly recommend a visit to Dunfermline to see that city’s tribute to Carnegie’s legacy in their acclaimed library extension.
We respectfully request the committee’s urgent review of a capital project for the Central Library in the form of a dedicated report which clarifies ambitions – particularly floor area requirements for core library services and the requirement for wonderful daylit and sunny rooms for our City Library.
Please, Let there be light Edinburgh!’

|A Year Full of Holidays
"When Nell had her birthday, her whole house was buzzin’
Nell is confused over which holidays come next. She can't wait until her birthday and is too young to understand the calendar. Her mom helps her wait by celebrating the holidays that will circle back to her birthday.
School Library Journal
Pre S - Grad2, Young Nell celebrates her August birthday and she asks,,"When'll my birthday come back?" "The holidays," said Mom, "will help you keep track." Thus begins a year's worth of days that the child and her family celebrate. Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc., are accompanied by rhyming couplets that describe how the holiday is observed. A mulitcultural cast of characters in Nell's community takes part in the festivities, helping to make them joyful celbrations. Though Nell's family doesn't observe every holiday - for example, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and Passover aren't included -- the months bring special days that will pertain to all readers, such as Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July. Cheerful, bright-hued colored-pencil illustrations add much to this pleasing and lively book about happy, memory-making occasions. What's not to like? --Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI


We have just released our newest Kindle publication on Amazon:
Or just put the following reference into the Amazon search box: B012BUHJ82
The Anthology consists of three main parts:
1. The Repertory itself.
The complete Repertory is included, with an elaborate navigation structure which enables the user to quickly find the section they wish to examine. I have tried to minimise the necessity to scroll through pages to find particular rubrics, a difficult task given the enormous size of the Repertory.
All of the original indices are hyperlinked. Every subheading links back to the index for the section in which it appears. There are numerous links (designated “RUBRICS INDEX”) which link back to the full list of rubrics.
All of the original cross-references are also hyperlinked, making it easy to jump to a related reference within the page or on a different page.
2. G I Bidwell’s How to Use the Repertory.
Bidwell’s intention was to make the Repertory more accessible to students and budding practioners alike.
3. J T Kent’s analysis lectures on the forty remedies chosen by Bidwell.
These lectures are extracted from Kent’s Lectures on Homeopathic Materia Medica. They are extensive and detailed. They should be used as an adjunct to the study plan outlined in How to Use the Repertory, to provide a background for the more focused study recommended by Bidwell.

Angelo Moriondo: The Inventor of the First Espresso Machine
Angelo Moriondo was an Italian inventor and entrepreneur who patented the first espresso machine in 1884. His machine used steam and boiling water to brew coffee faster and stronger than ever before. He was also the owner of several hotels and restaurants in Turin, where he showcased his invention. In this blog post, we will learn more about Angelo Moriondo, his background, his career, and his legacy.
Early Life and Education
Angelo Moriondo was born on June 6, 1851, in Turin, Italy. He came from a wealthy and influential family, who owned several businesses in the city. His grandfather founded a liqueur company, his father and uncle founded a chocolate company, and his brother and cousin founded a gas company. Angelo inherited his entrepreneurial spirit and his interest in innovation from his family.
Angelo attended school until he was 16, and then started working in the family businesses. He also studied engineering and mechanics, and developed a passion for inventing new machines and devices.
Career and Invention
Angelo Moriondo bought and managed several hotels and restaurants in Turin, such as the Grand Hotel Ligure and the American Bar. He was always looking for ways to improve his services and attract more customers. He noticed that coffee was a popular drink among his guests, but it took a long time to prepare and often tasted bitter and weak. He decided to create a machine that could make coffee faster, better, and stronger.
Angelo Moriondo designed and built a machine that used steam and boiling water to force hot water through finely ground coffee beans, producing a concentrated and aromatic coffee drink. He called his machine “New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage”. He applied for a patent for his invention on May 16, 1884, and received it for a period of six years. He was the first person to patent an espresso machine, and he is widely recognized as the inventor of espresso.
Angelo Moriondo presented his invention at the General Expo of Turin in 1884, where he won a bronze medal for his innovation. He also demonstrated his machine at various fairs and exhibitions, and received positive feedback and praise from the public and the press. He improved his machine over the years, and applied for more patents to protect his invention. He also built a few machines for his own establishments, and for some of his friends and colleagues.
Personal Life and Death
Angelo Moriondo married a woman named Teresa, and they had four children: Giacomo, Agostino, Maria, and Luigi. He was a devoted husband and father, and a generous and charitable man. He supported various causes and organizations, such as the Red Cross and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. He was also a devout Catholic, and a member of the Knights of Malta.
Angelo Moriondo died on May 31, 1914, at the age of 62, in Marentino, a town near Turin. He was buried in the family tomb at the Monumental Cemetery of Turin. He left behind a legacy of innovation and excellence, and a lasting contribution to the history and culture of coffee.

I have always loved the history of fashion. I remember, even before I
could read, sitting in the public library surrounded by fashion books
just looking at the pictures. I've had many jobs, but it always comes
back to costume design. I just turned 50, and I realized that it was
time to really amp up my skill set. This is what I love to do and I'm
looking forward meeting other people who share the same love. I am lucky
enough to work in a library, where I have unlimited access to books and
databases. I am devouring them all.


I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Library and Information Sciences at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina. Previously, I was a Research Program Officer at Educopia Institute, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Program on Information Science at the MIT Libraries and a faculty instructor at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC SILS).
My research focuses on the use and users of born-digital cultural heritage materials, ranging from legacy software to archived web pages. Working at the intersection of digital preservation, information science, and sociotechnical systems, my research asks: what do different communities of practice value about their interactions with born-digital information? How are epistemological practices (or “ways of knowing”) changing and how is this consequential for building sustainable knowledge environments?
For the past ten years, I have worked in embedded settings with library technologists, practitioners, and faculty on the design and development of digital research infrastructure. These grant-funded, applied research initiatives have included the following:
