Every leader has their ‘go to’ resources…books, articles, videos, podcasts that spark an idea or give them inspiration…or perhaps just that pragmatic thought on how to solve a problem. Here are a few of mine that I have collected over the years. Many of the authors are people I have worked with or met and seen their ideas in action. I encourage you to share your comments or suggestions for some of your favorite ‘go to’ resources.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
In this leadership fable, Patrick Lencioni shines the light on the foundational elements of teamwork and the impact it has on the whole organization. While simple in concept, this book offers some pragmatic practices that will help shape any team.
The Unfinished Leader:
Balancing Contradictory Answers to Unsolvable Problems
David L. Dotlich, Peter C. Cairo and Cade Cowan
While managers typically deal with problems that have clear answers, leaders must guide organizations through gnarly issues that often have no apparent, clean-cut solutions. In their book, Dotlich, Cairo and Cowan, provide the mindsets and tools to recognize such paradoxes, understand competing demands, and help leaders take action.
Leaders Make the Future:
Ten New Leadership Skills for an Uncertain World
Based on research from his workshops, futurist Bob Johansen, outlines how society is evolving into a VUCA world – volatile, uncertain and ambiguous. He provides emergent insights and opportunities, as well as critical skills leaders will need to ‘listen to the future’ and ultimately be successful.
The Three Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation
The future is now. In order to get to the future, you need to begin today. Vijay Govindarajan shares a simple model involving three boxes to help manage the paradox of balancing the present, and yet getting ready for the future.
The First 90 Days:
Proven Strategies for Getting Up to Speed Faster and Smarter
Michael D. Watkins
A pivotal moment for any leader is the transition into that new role. Missteps during those first three months can put a career’s worth of work at risk. The updated and expanded version of this book is a staple for any leader’s library.
The Leadership Pipeline –
How to Build The Leadership-Powered Company
Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter and James Noel
A requisite for business success is having strong and ready leaders at all levels. Grounded by interviews with more than 100 international companies, the Leadership Pipeline model serves as a good framework to give clarity around the core and common leadership ‘passages’ all leaders must go through. It helps organizations systematically select, develop and assess based on specific responsibilities at each leader level. Good desktop tool for all leaders.
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t
Good to Great remains one of my favorite foundational business books. From the author of Built to Last, Good to Great outlines an approach for turning a good, average or even mediocre company into a great one. After much research, Jim Collins has assembled a list of ‘good to great companies’ in order to discern what separates the elite from the rest.

In 2015, she won a two-book deal with publisher Jonathan Cape for a collection of short stories and a novel. The short story collection titled Fen was published in 2017. Set in the fens of England, it draws upon the memories of the area where Johnson grew up. It comprises a set of linked short stories, focusing on the experiences of women and girls in a small town. Johnson describes the collection as liminal and mythic. The collection won the 2017 Edge Hill Short Story Prize.
Johnson followed Fen with her debut novel, Everything Under, in 2018. The novel focuses on the relationship between Gretel, a lexicographer, and her mother and is set against a backdrop of the British countryside. Gretel grows up on a canal boat with her mother and they invent a language to use between them. Gretel’s mother abandons her when Gretel is sixteen, and the novel starts sixteen years later with a phone call. Johnson worked on the novel for around four years, starting it at the same time as her short story collection to challenge herself to write something longer. She went through at least five drafts of the book (which she has said had seeds in her studies of the Greek myth of king Oedipus), made several changes to characters and setting, and for a period, it was titled Eggtooth.
Everything Under was shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize. Johnson is the youngest author to be shortlisted for the prize.

Hello and welcome to my book review principles by Ray Dalio. For people who don’t know Ray Dalio is he is one of the most successful investors and entrepreneurs in the world. In this book he shares his somewhat unconventional principles that he found, refined, and used over the past forty years of his life.
Ray Dalio founded Bridgewater Associates in 1975. It started in his two bedroom apartment in New York City. Bridgwater has grown to become one of the biggest private companies in history. For its clients it has generated more wealth then any other hedge fund. It was during this growth that Dailo created his unique principles and company culture. He calls this “An idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency”.
Dalio argues that all life, management, investment can by systemised into rules. Dalio set out the most effective way for organisations or people to make better decisions, how to approach challenges and how to build strong teams. He goes on to describe how tools were created to bring his idea of meritocracy to life. Such as creating “baseball cards” of staff members that listed their strengths and their weaknesses. Also he talks about the computer system created at Bridgewater that is used to create believability-weighted decisions.
This was an interesting read from one of the great investors of our time. If you are able and willing to take on some of his ideas it could enrich you life in so many ways. This first half of the book goes though his personal life. Even Dalio made some mistakes, but he learned from them and refined his principles. The second part is more focused on economic principles.
Well worth a read if you are looking for a new book.

46 Pages:Thomas Paine
Even those with just a passing acquaintance with U.S. history around the time of our Revolutionary War are aware of Thomas Paines historic pamphlet. And they are generally familiar with the fact that it was influential during the months leading up to our Declaration of Independence. What is not as well known is the reason its impact was so prodigious.
Paines writing style, which was easily understood by the masses, and his ability to create powerful and memorable excerpts are often cited. These provide a partial explanation for the pamphlets success, but there are even more important reasons.
If you havent read Common Sense, put it off just a little longer. First read 46 Pages: Thomas Paine, Common Sense, and the Turning Point to Independence by Scott Liell. When you are done, which wont be long since it is only 130 pages, you will be much better prepared to appreciate the significance of Paines arguments for independence.
Before the publication of Common Sense, colonial rants against Great Britain focused on the Parliament and not King George III. Even with Boston under siege, George Washington, hoping for ultimate reconciliation with England, toasted the King of England every evening as he and his Generals concluded their dinners in Cambridge. Thomas Paines pamphlet shifted the focus of the colonists anger to the King. Washingtons toasts to King George stopped the day he read Common Sense. Within months of publication, the statue of King George in New York was demolished.
Paines attack was not limited to King George. Common Sense was a systematic attack on the English system of government and on the monarchy in particular. Paine dissected the justification for having a Monarch and destroyed it. In its place, he erected an alternative: a republic based on natural law.
Before Common Sense, first distributed on January 10th 1776 and approximately nine months after the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the vast majority of colonists wanted accommodation with Great Britain and expected that this would be the likely outcome of our conflict. Independence was spoken of quietly and only amongst the more militant referred to as the violent people by the Quakers in Philadelphia. Only a minority favored independence and most of the delegates to the Continental Congress were under explicit orders to not vote for independence. Thomas Paine embraced the calls for independence and showed the folly of reconciliation. The people agreed with him and the Continental Congress followed.
In 1815 John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson that the Revolution was not initiated by the political leaders in the Congress or by patriots on the battlefield, but rather in the minds of the people. Common Sense swayed the minds of the people and ultimately we began the world over again. Scott Liells 46 Pages, a must-read for those who want to understand the coalescing of colonial opinion around independence and liberty, tells us how Paine did it.
46 Pages: Thomas Paine, Common Sense, and the Turning Point to Independence, by Scott Liell, is published by Running Press, Ó 2003 by Scott Liell.

This is an English version of the article posted some time ago which described the themes and structuring articles defined by the members of Axis 7 of the Labex EHNE, but it has been updated with the changes recently made to the list of structuring articles proposed for the online encyclopedia. This thematic, online encyclopedia is of course one of the main objective of the project EHNE, and will represent the culmination of the scientific work and research led by the seven axes of the Labex. This work will materialise through the organisation of a number of activities, symposiums, workshops, or seminars, but, in the end, the encyclopedia articles will form the evidence of the work of the Labex members and numerous contributors.
Thus after defining the main themes establishing the approach research would follow within each axis, the axes’ teams came up with around ten articles, the so-called ‘stucturing’ articles, half of which are to be published at the launch of the encyclopedia in January 2015. They will be between 3500 and 5000 words long, and their role will be to define topics, key questions and historiographical debates, in a synthetic and conceptualising manner. Around these articles will gravitate a network of secondary articles, factual and detailed, which will allow to visitors who would be so inclined to delve into a more advanced reflection on a well defined topic.
Three main themes have been defined within axis 7: Geography, Historiography and Heritage. Within the scope of these themes ten structuring notices will tackle questions and aspects of European art history within the scope of the Labex EHNE:
This theme will look into the geographies of artistic production and exchange, and the impact of geopolitical context on art history. The articles will address the way the artist approaches the European territory, inserting or instead disconnecting himself from some of its centres. They will look into the phenomenon of attraction of regional or urban centres, as well as into that of rejection and abandonment of other territories, in particular rural. They will bring about a reflection on the foundation of the identity of an artist within a Europe with moving borders and about the spatial dimension of sedentary or nomadic artistic ‘societies’.
Four structuring notices have been defined. Around the first one, ‘artistic geography’, secondary notices will present works about artistic commission and the art market, and the question of civic artists and court artists, with a symposium organized by Philippe Lorentz “Civic Artists and Court Artists (1350-1650). Case Studies and Conceptual Ideas about the Status, Tasks and the Working Conditions of Artists and Artisans”, which will take place from the 19th to the 21st June 2014 at the Centre Chastel. The second notice, ‘artists’ migrations’ will deal with the emigrations and movements of artists and its consequences on artistic production. The issue of exile will also be addressed, with for example the emigration of artists after the revocation of Edict of Nantes or that of the Jansenist artists in the 18th century. Another notice will deal with the circulation of artistic models, material and immaterial ones, and finally the notice ‘architectural Europe’ will be based on the project The Europeans: these architects that have designed Europe (1450-1950), a book dedicated to ‘European’ architects: those who, born and educated in a culture, carrying the legacy of one or several national traditions, have worked within one or others of these traditions, bringing new elements to it.
This theme focuses on a reflection about the auto-representation of Europe. It is about two main supports used in the course of that creation: the image that ‘talks’ and the speech around the image. The two are closely linked. The first one, of an iconic type – allegory, emblem, map, symbolic object – translates the speech, or uses it directly. Inversely, the second ‘orchestrates’ the image, linking it to a certain type of language: national, European or universal.
Three structuring notices will make up this theme. The first one, ‘Iconography of Europe from the 15th to the 20th century’ will include analysis of European maps, allegorical representations of Europe, or of the emblematic objects within the representations of Europe: comparisons with other continents will be established to get out of the internal European debate. The second structuring notice, ‘the exhibitions as a support of the diffusion of knowledge’, will be the theme of a symposium in 2015. Finally the third structuring notice will tackle the question of ‘the making of nationalist language in art history’. This section will be partly based on the results of two study days to be organized by PhD students of the Centre Chastel, following a call for themes. The first of these study days is currently being organised, and is entitled ‘Art critique and nationalism, French looks on European art in the 19th century’.
Finally the third theme of axis 7 will tackle questions relating to the European artistic heritage in a broad sense. First, a structuring notice will present ‘the art libraries in Europe’. Secondary notices on the library of Peter the Great will for example take place in this section, based on a collective publication co-financed by the Labex: Arts and Sciences of Europe in the library of Peter the Great, prepared under the scientific direction of Olga Medvekova (Centre André Chastel – CNRS). Around the second structuring notice ‘Museums and artistic institutions’, secondary notices will discuss the increasing awareness of the need for heritage protection, and the emergence of the institutions dealing with heritage conservation and protection in Europe. Finally a notice about ‘Monumental heritage’ will tackle the question of the place of architectural remains in the construction of modern and contemporary European landscapes, and of the conservation policies of European countries, notably around the development of tourism.


The Last of the Mohicans
By James Fenimore Cooper
After the first surprise of the intelligence had a little abated, a rumor was spread through the entrenched camp, which stretched along the margin of the Hudson, forming a chain of outworks to the body of the fort itself, that a chosen detachment of fifteen hundred men was to depart, with the dawn, for William Henry, the post at the northern extremity of the portage. That which at first was only rumor, soon became certainty, as orders passed from the quarters of the commander-in-chief to the several corps he had selected for this service, to prepare for their speedy departure. All doubts as to the intention of Webb now vanished, and an hour or two of hurried footsteps and anxious faces succeeded. The novice in the military art flew from point to point, retarding his own preparations by the excess of his violent and somewhat distempered zeal; while the more practiced veteran made his arrangements with a deliberation that scorned every appearance of haste; though his sober lineaments and anxious eye sufficiently betrayed that he had no very strong professional relish for the, as yet, untried and dreaded warfare of the wilderness. At length the sun set in a flood of glory, behind the distant western hills, and as darkness drew its veil around the secluded spot the sounds of preparation diminished; the last light finally disappeared from the log cabin of some officer; the trees cast their deeper shadows over the mounds and the rippling stream, and a silence soon pervaded the camp, as deep as that which reigned in the vast forest by which it was environed.
According to the orders of the preceding night, the heavy sleep of the army was broken by the rolling of the warning drums, whose rattling echoes were heard issuing, on the damp morning air, out of every vista of the woods, just as day began to draw the shaggy outlines of some tall pines of the vicinity, on the opening brightness of a soft and cloudless eastern sky. In an instant the whole camp was in motion; the meanest soldier arousing from his lair to witness the departure of his comrades, and to share in the excitement and incidents of the hour. The simple array of the chosen band was soon completed. While the regular and trained hirelings of the king marched with haughtiness to the right of the line, the less pretending colonists took their humbler position on its left, with a docility that long practice had rendered easy. The scouts departed; strong guards preceded and followed the lumbering vehicles that bore the baggage; and before the gray light of the morning was mellowed by the rays of the sun, the main body of the combatants wheeled into column, and left the encampment with a show of high military bearing, that served to drown the slumbering apprehensions …

For the second consecutive year, I was tasked with designing the annual report for the Women’s & Children’s Managed Clinical & Academic Network within the Saolta University Healthcare Group.
This comprehensive report meticulously details the clinical activities associated with Women’s and Children’s Services across the Saolta University Health Care Hospital Group. Spanning five hospital sites—Galway University Hospital, Letterkenny University Hospital, Mayo University Hospital, Portiuncula University Hospital, and Sligo University Hospital—the report encompasses clinical activities in Maternity Services, Gynaecology, Paediatrics (both general and subspecialty areas), and Neonatology.
The design approach prioritised clarity, ease of navigation, and visual appeal, aiming to effectively showcase the significance of the teams' work across these five hospitals.
I developed a distinct colour code for each hospital to enhance clarity and distinguish between hospital-specific data, facilitating easy identification within the charts and select tables. Complementary colours were derived from the Saolta brand guidelines to maintain consistency throughout the report.
Additionally, I structured an interactive table of contents for the web version of the report, allowing seamless navigation. Furthermore, a prominent box placed at the top outer corner of the pages signals the commencement of each chapter, aiding readers in locating specific sections efficiently.

at the National Hemp Symposium
Bringing it Home (2013)
Directors: Linda Booker, Blaire Johnson (co-director)
Star: Philip Powell
BRINGING IT HOME tells the story of hemp’s past, present and future through interviews with global hemp business leaders and entrepreneurs, animation and footage filmed in Europe and the United States. Bringing it Home exposes the viewer to industrial hemp production in other industrialized economies while educating them regarding the growing demand for hemp products at home in the US. This film makes the case for all the benefits of a plant that will leave viewers wondering: why aren’t we using it more for a healthier planet?
“A brilliantly executed documentary that weaves a touching narrative extolling the many benefits of industrial hemp for the environment and human health.”
-Eric Steenstra, President of Vote Hemp
“Hemp might offer our best hope for saving both the environment and the economy. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to watch this video.”
-Chris Conrad, Author, Hemp: Lifeline to the Future and Hemp for Health
Hemp Is Back, the Road to Riches? (2020)
Director/Producer: Greg Moring
With the 2018 legalization of Hemp nationwide growers jumped in to “Green Rush” dreaming of endless riches. This is the story of Central and Southern Oregon’s 2019 Hemp season. While our story is local to Oregon, it delves into the successes, failures, and learning curves of a new agricultural commodity that has brought promises of wealth for farmers and entrepreneurs nation wide.
Emperor of Hemp (1999)
Director: Jeff Jones
Stars: Jack Herer, Peter Coyotel
“This is the film that the United States government does not want you to see. This is the film that contains the facts about one movement, one man, and one miraculous plant that could revolutionize the world. This film blows the lid off the anti-hemp conspiracy and explains all there is to know about an easy-to-grow plant with infinite, non-toxic uses.”
-Amazon Prime Description of Film
“This documentary chronicles the journey of Jack Herer, author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, the infamous book commonly referred to as “the hemp bible.” A firm believer that hemp could save the world, he led the movement to decriminalize hemp and educate people about the virtues of a substance that humans have relied upon for millennia. Despite enduring endless criticism for his “irrational” ideas and serving time in Federal prison for protesting on behalf of the cause, he dedicated more than half of his life stumping for the cause in hopes to rally public support to end prohibition of the virgin hemp plant.
Sadly, he was unable to accomplish that before he died in 2010. But Jack Herer set the foundation for the hemp reform movement that has finally gained traction in the last several years.
This film is a “must see” for both skeptics and advocates, and anyone with a desire to learn about hemp.”
–The Cannabis Reporter
Standing Silent Nation (2006)
Director: Suree Towfighnia
Stars: Alex White Plume, Deborah White Plume, Ramona White Plume
“The story of a dirt-poor but enterprising family thwarted by shocking, stupid acts by jerks armed with red tape and guns produces a single effect: umbrage. It’s good umbrage, mostly, that surging, almost euphoric response to a crusading documentary…It is possible that in seeking a viable crop, the Oglala Lakota have found the next best thing: a purpose.”
-Virginia Heffernan, The New York Times
“When the Oglala Sioux Tribe passed an ordinance separating industrial hemp from its illegal cousin, marijuana, Alex White Plume and his family glimpsed a brighter future. Having researched hemp as a sustainable crop that would grow in the inhospitable soil of the South Dakota Badlands, the White Plumes envisioned a new economy that would impact the 85% unemployment rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation. They never dreamed they would find themselves swept up in a struggle over tribal sovereignty, economic rights, and common sense.
From the hemp fields of Pine Ridge to the US Federal Court of Appeals, the one-hour documentary STANDING SILENT NATION tracks one family’s effort to create economic independence for themselves, their reservation, and their future generations. The hemp plant is like a new buffalo for the Lakota: a resource whose many uses from food to fuel to fiber, could enrich their sovereign nation. For three years, Alex White Plume and his family planted industrial hemp. But each year, their harvest was disrupted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which claims that hemp is marijuana despite the absence of marijuana’s psychoactive properties.”

African Philosophy: New and Traditional Perspectives Lee M. Brown【简介_书评_在线阅读-pdf mobi epub】中英文
African Philosophy: New and Traditional Perspectives
作者：Lee M. Brown
In the last two decades the idea of African Philosophy has undergone significant change and scrutiny. Some critics have maintained that the idea of a system of philosophical thought tied to African traditions is incoherent. In African Philosophy Lee Brown has collected new essays by top scholars in the field that in various ways respond to these criticisms and defend the notion of African Philosophy.
The essays address both epistemological and metaphysical issues that are specific to the traditional conceptual languages of sub-Saharan Africa. The primary focus of the collection is on traditional African conceptions of topics like mind, person, personal identity, truth, knowledge, understanding, objectivity, destiny, free will, causation, and reality. The contributors--who include Leke Adeofe, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Lee Brown, Segun Gbadegesin, D.A. Masolo, Albert Mosley, Ifeanyi Menkiti, and Kwasi Wiredu--incorporate concerns from various African philosophical traditions, including Akan, Azande, Bokis, Igno, Luo, and Yoruba.
African Philosophy ultimately tries to bring a more rigorous conception of African philosophy into fruitful contact with Western philosophical concerns, specifically in the philosophies of psychology, mind, science, and language, as well as in metaphysics and epistemology. It will appeal to both scholars and students.

Courses in English Romantic Poetry have generally concentrated on six male figures of the era whose works were seen to form the core of the traditional Romantic canon, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. However, evolving critical approaches and perspectives over the last thirty years, and the recovery and publication of neglected texts from the period, have brought to light a long list of significant female poets, both those who were the precursors of the Romantics and those who wrote contemporaneously with them, whose work can no longer be overlooked. The six (formerly?) canonical Romantic poets have acquired over the last two hundred years a stature in Anglo-American literary studies, that has obliged us for years to approach all newly recovered voices from the past, no matter how relevant, profound, or noteworthy, from the lens of their acknowledged achievements. With the increasing availability of works by women from the Romantic period, we no longer feel an obligation to filter the voices that have remained submerged and forgotten for so long through this refracting medium. The female romantic poets can now be studied in their own right, and on their own terms.
The Romantic Age was one of the most remarkable periods of creativity in English literary history and marked a seminal shift in attitude and outlook. It signaled the decline of old feudal structures and ushered in an era of individualism, revolution, and democratic decision-making. In its fierce assertion of individual rights, as in the literary switch from the public to the private voice, it established in many ways the foundations for the world we know today. Paradoxically, it also ended up generating a sense of revolutionary elitism and notions of artistic autonomy and cultural superiority that themselves came to represent an important condition of European (and, of course, British) imperialism. On the other hand, British Romantic writers were heavily influenced by their understanding of the Orient (culled from travel narratives, histories, and translations of Oriental works and, sometimes, experienced first-hand) and freely appropriated its texts, aesthetics, themes, architectural models, and cultural attitudes even as they exaggerated its excesses and satirized its mores and manners. In this implication of Imperial design and Oriental influences we find yet another approach to the Romantic period, and this theme too will be explored in this course.
We shall study, thus, both the works of poets that were a part of the “traditional” Romantic canon as well as those by others, mostly female writers, who wrote with great effectiveness and success in their times, but whom later ages came to ignore. At the same time, instead of confining ourselves to the influences of German Romanticism and indigenous sources, we shall trace also the course of Oriental influences and concerns in examining the works of poets and thinkers who came to shape and define the Romantic literary landscape from about 1770 to 1835. In the process, we shall investigate the possible relationship of these writers and their works to the imperial project that was in full swing at this time. Our objective is to study the works not only within their literary tradition but also within their socio-cultural and historical context.
Our study of the British romantic poets will include essays from the English Romantic Poets (ed., M. H. Abrams), excerpts from Elizabeth Fay’s A Feminist Introduction to Literature, and may also include chapters from Romanticism and Colonialism: Writing and Empire, 1780-1830 (Eds., Tim Fulford and Peter Kitson). We shall refer to these essays, excerpts, and chapters and use ideas from them for our discussions on the listed poets and poems.

The Artists Archives of the Western Reserve is a unique archival facility created to preserve representative bodies of work by Ohio visual artists. Through ongoing research, exhibitions and educational programs, the AAWR actively documents and promotes this cultural heritage for the benefit of the public.
The founders envisioned a “living archive” – a facility where archived artwork could be preserved, displayed, and studied by the public and scholars alike. The Archive would maintain a representative body of the artist’s work as well as documentation of their lives and careers as Ohio-based artists. Accordingly, the AAWR records oral histories, catalogs exhibition materials and collects related documents on Ohio artists.
This pro-bono project was conceived to give the AAWR an enhanced design and functionality to their corporate brochure. It is used to promote the Archive to corporate funders and educate students and community members about the value of art and the history of visual art and artists in the region.

Now—can you see how the desires of a man’s heart and the desires of a woman’s heart were at least meant to fit beautifully together? A woman in the presence of a good man, a real man, loves being a woman. His strength allows her feminine heart to flourish. His pursuit draws out her beauty. And a man in the presence of a real woman loves being a man. Her beauty arouses him to play the man; it draws out his strength. She inspires him to be a hero.

Welcome! Presenting an early 20th century walnut library table with a football shaped brand mark in the wood underneath that says "French Trade Mark (on either side of what looks like a face) Minneapolis". There is also a number "4452" stamped into the wood underneath. The table measures about 22 1/2 inches high, 23 3/4 inches wide, and about 14 inches front to back. Underneath the surface is a slanted shelf for books. The supports or legs have a carved keyhole shape. The table mixes elements of Arts & Crafts and later Victorian/Nouveau style, . As to condition issues, the surface has some dark beverage or plate rings, one of the end supports has some white paint splatters on the exterior and interior lower area and the underside of the surface has some dark, vertical gouges or tool marks. Other than that, it is a nice, sturdy little table, a great piece of early 20th century useful furniture by the noted interior designer William A. French.
Here is some information on French from the Facebook page of Glensheen, the historic Congdon estate in Duluth:
"William A French, Interior Designer
William A French is one of a select group of American cabinet and furniture makers and interior decorators who have achieved lasting success and international recognition for their work. He designed the first phonograph cabinet for Thomas Edison and manufactured cabinets for him for several years. He was also asked to send exhibits each year to the Metropolitan Museum. He was once quoted as saying ‘I have always enjoyed the work of creating beautiful things…not only for the joy they give others, but for the feeling that I am making a lasting contribution to the world.’ "
More information on William A. French and his interior design and furniture business can be found at the site of the Minnesota Historical Society.


28th May 2019
On Wednesday the 22nd of May, Relationship Manager Grace attended the yearly finale event for Prism Collective Fund, Young City Reads. A recent addition to Prism, Young City Reads works on raising reading aspirations in young children in the Brighton & Hove areas. By selecting a focus book each year, schools far and wide are provided with ten weeks’ worth of thought-provoking resources and content to inspire conversations based on the chosen class-read. The annual ‘Big Read’ works on the simple premise of one book by one author being chosen and then read, explored, discussed and creatively engaged in by all the participating children and their teachers.
Announced on World Book Day, the 7th of March 2019, this year the chosen title was ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’. The debut novel from Onjali Raúf who has now gone on to win The Blue Peter Book Award and The Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize for 2019. Fast forward eleven weeks and yesterday saw the coming-together of over a thousand children and their teachers, along with local partners supporting both the schools, the author, Young City Reads and Brighton Festival. Joined together in the spectacular Brighton Dome building, all the young children who were part of the project excitedly awaited the much-anticipated presentation from Onjali Raúf, on her motivations to write, the key themes from the story and the writing process she undertook.
Raúf’s novel, ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’, tells the story of the refugee crisis and highlights the key necessities of friendship and kindness for children whom find themselves displaced. Where once was an empty seat at the back of the class there now sits Ahmet, with the story told using humour and humility to remind us of the importance of human compassion.
Following an introduction into Raúf’s life and career up-to this point, she informed her captivated audience that the devastating pictures we all remember of Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach in September 2015 ignited the start of her focus working with refugees. This work took her to refugee camps in both Calais and Dunkirk and ultimately motivated her to tell Ahmet’s story in her novel that then followed. Her fascinated audience of years four and five children sat quietly and still in reflection of the topic Raúf passionately discussed. Their measured and matured responses showed they too had understood the story of Ahmet and what it means in terms of the wider society they themselves live in today.
The room then once again came to life with excited chatter as Raúf asked the children if they had heard of Harry Potter, Paddington Bear and Superman? In chorus they let her know that they had, with Raúf then explaining these characters we love and know so well are refugees too. Brilliant questions, asking what it is they can do to help and how best they can support children like Ahmet then followed, allowing Raúf to offer the children three simple suggestions they too can use: Be an inclusive friend, don’t ever be afraid to ask questions and raise awareness or funds when you can. It was clear that the children left Brighton Dome feeling motivated and engaged to be the change Raúf and themselves want to see.
As Young City Reads ‘Big Read’ finale drew to a close for 2019, the success of the book and the engagement during the event spurred on the conversations for what 2020 will hold. Through creating a reading programme open for all abilities and with a focus on fun, the team at Young City Reads excitedly know that there are many more stories to be read, more passionate discussions to be had and that there are many more children who they hope can partake.

Specific works/Becoming Gods
FAIR: Defending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1997
A FAIR Analysis of: Becoming GodsA work by author: Richard Abanes
|One Nation Under Gods|
Copyright © 2005–2010 Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research. The content of this page may be not copied, published, or redistributed without the prior written consent of FAIR.
About this work
There are no books from an evangelical perspective that responsibly interact with contemporary LDS scholarly and apologetic writings.
—Paul Mosser and Carl Owen, "Mormon Scholarship, Apologetics and Evangelical Neglect: Losing the Battle and Not Know It?" Trinity Journal, 1998.
It is claimed that this book is an attempt to fill the void highlighted by Mosser and Owen. Unfortunately, what we find instead are the same misrepresentations and arguments that been offered in the past by anti-Mormon authors. There is nothing at all new here. This book could best be described as an Evangelical apologetic work against Mormonism. The book spends much time refuting LDS interpretation of scriptural passages in the Bible, often claiming that Mormons have misinterpreted the scriptures and that they require "deeper study." In fact, it is claimed that LDS scholars have only a superficial knowledge of the scriptures, at one time stating that "[p]roperly interpreting them is not as simple as reading today's newspaper" (p. 213).
Notable and Quotable
A summary of the painful manipulations required in order to circumscribe the meaning of the term "Christian" so that it excludes Latter-day Saints:
- Many evangelical books offer little help. Some are strident or mocking.
- —Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, p. 11
- Mormons do in fact seek salvation within the historical person known to the world as Jesus of Nazareth, as they see him.
- —Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, p. 265
- This does not mean that Mormons are "Christian" in an objective theological sense. It merely means there exists no other category in which they can be placed. Allowing for the broad viewpoint, however, opens up a large can of worms. What about the Branch Davidians, who called themselves "Christian" but stored illegal weapons, abused children, and murdered law enforcement officers? What about The Family, a "Christian" group that currently engages in premarital "sharing" with multiple partners and allows adultery with consent? How about so-called "Christian" witches? There are also a significant number of liberal "Christians"...who deny the virgin birth, the deity of Jesus, and Christ's physical resurrection. And let us not forget "Christian" nudists.
- —Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, p. 265
- So if Daniel Peterson and Barry Bickmore, for example, have no problem being called "heretical Christians," then I have no problem obliging them.
- —Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, p. 266
- When it comes to whether or not Mormons are Christian, a simple yes or no answer will never do.
- —Richard Abanes, Becoming Gods, p. 279
- Appeals Court Rules Mormon Church Is Outside Protestant Christian Faith. This ruling clearly agrees that Mormonism is outside Protestantism. And Mormonism is certainly not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. The ruling, of course, fails to answer the question: What is Mormonism? Given the fact that it is not Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, one can naturally extrapolate that Mormonism is not Christian.
- —Richard Abanes, blog post "Mormonism LEGALLY Declared Not Christian," October 9, 2008.
- (The following day, October 10, in response to a reader comment, the title of the blog entry was changed to read "Mormonism LEGALLY Declared Not Protestant." One poster compared the logic presented with the following: "And given the fact that San Diego is not Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or Sacramento, one can naturally extrapolate that San Diego is not in California.")

Yet Eärendil saw now no hope left in the lands of Middle-earth, and he turned again in despair and came not home, but sought back once more to Valinor with Elwing at his side. He stood now most often at the prow of Vingilot, and the Silmaril was bound upon his brow; and ever its light grew greater as they drew into the West. And the wise have said that it was by reason of the power of that holy jewel that they came in time to waters that no vessels save those of the Teleri had known; and they came to the Enchanted Isles and escaped their enchantment; and they came into the Shadowy Seas and passed their shadows, and they looked upon Tol Eressëa the Lonely Isle, but tarried not; and at the last they cast anchor in the Bay of Eldamar, and the Teleri saw the coming of that ship out of the East and they were amazed, gazing from afar upon the light of the Silmaril, and it was very great. Then Eärendil, first of living Men, landed on the immortal shores; and he spoke there to Elwing and to those that were with him, and they were three mariners who had sailed all the seas besides him: Falathar, Erellont, and Aerandir were their names. And Eärendil said to them: ‘Here none but myself shall set foot, lest you fall under the wrath of the Valar. But that peril I will take on myself alone, for the sake of the Two Kindreds.’

How to Invest Like Seth Klarman
To paraphrase an old Wall Street advertisement, when Seth Klarman speaks, people listen. He tends to shy away from most investment conferences, but when he does hold court, it's standing room only. And for good reason. His book, "Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor," is considered to be a classic of the modern era, fetching more than $1,000 on Amazon.com, now that it is out of print.


2016 has been a horrific year for me personally and, of course, politically--but I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the brighter parts of the year. I:
- said goodbye to one library and hello to another
- survived my first MLIS course through Wayne State University
- organized a snail mail exchange and got a pen pal
- was both delighted and mortified by the revival of Gilmore Girls
- ended a ridiculously toxic relationship
- started managing my first collection
- started a Preschool STEAM program at my new library
- learned how to be happy alone
- continued to fall in love with my cat more and more everyday
- picked apples and made my very first homemade apple pie with my best friend
- took risks, got out of my comfort zone, and made a commitment to grow and learn continually
- practiced self-care like never before
- found a beautiful community of internet friends
- fell in love with Hamilton (and Daveed Diggs!)
- spent even more time with my lovely little sisters
- bought health insurance (that will hopefully not be taken away from me in 2017)
- learned to love the little things and small accomplishments that happen day to day
- reminded myself it's okay to not be okay
I’d like to leave you with one of my favorite accomplishments of 2016. In September, I started my first Master of Library and Information Science course, and I had the opportunity to write about my specific interests and passions regarding library work. I have always believed that library work and social justice are inextricably linked, but what a joy it was to actually sit down and get lost in research on just a few of the incredible, radical children’s librarians, and the myriad ways in which they advocated for our young people. This paper explains why I’m so passionate about what I do, and why I always strive to do more, and to do better.
Children’s Services Led the Way: Social Justice and Library Services to Children
Youth services librarians are widely known as curators of information, storytellers, customer service providers, kindred spirits, teachers, and bibliophiles, but most importantly they are advocates for one of our society’s most vulnerable populations. For children, who are perpetually governed by adults, the children’s department of the public library is a safe haven, a liberatory, radical place, where their needs and interests are prioritized, and their fulfillment is essential. I will argue that from their inception, librarians that serve youth champion diversity, cultural responsiveness, and equity of access. My aim is to examine the ways in which my values and beliefs regarding youth services librarianship, including a commitment to multiculturalism and cultivating a safe space for all children, align with youth services librarians in the field, past and present.
The First Children’s Librarians
Promoting diversity and multiculturalism in children’s literature is a trend that has gained an incredible amount of popularity over the past few years or so—especially with the creation of campaigns such as We Need Diverse Books and blogs such as Disability in Kidlit—although this growing trend is nowhere near a new phenomenon. In “Milestones for Diversity in Children’s Literature and Library Services,” a timeline of diversity milestones in the field written for Children and Libraries, Kathleen T. Horning argues that “as a group, children’s librarians have been on the forefront for diversity from the beginning, striving to serve all children.”
Although the first tax-supported library was established in 1854, it wasn’t until the 1880s and 1890s that libraries began serving children under twelve years of age. In “Libraries and Information Organizations: Two Centuries of Experience,” Christine Pawley spotlights Caroline Hewins and Anne Carroll Moore, who “led a new field in which librarians managed specially designed children’s rooms and services such as storytelling and became cultural authorities in the rapidly growing area of children’s publishing.” Establishing a separate field and space for children was a radical act of advocacy. In “The Librarian Who Changed Children’s Literature Forever,” Laura Miller brings attention to Moore’s revolutionary contributions to the space reserved for children at libraries:
Until the late 19th century, libraries weren’t even considered a fitting place for children under 10, and the first children’s rooms, installed in the 1890s, were initially meant to cordon off noisy young patrons so they didn’t bother the adults. Moore pioneered the children’s room as we still know it today: a homey space with plenty of comfortable, child-size chairs, art on the walls, space for events like storytelling, which Moore almost singlehandedly made a regular feature at libraries. All children’s librarians adopted her credo of the Four Respects: respect for children, respect for children’s books, respect for one’s colleagues, and respect for the children’s librarianship as a profession. None of these was a given before Moore and her cohort came along.

Moore saw the humanity in children, rather than seeing them as merely a nuisance, and she found a way to honor that humanity by serving a marginalized population within her library. This act in itself is nothing short of radical, but additionally, she demanded respect for the literature provided for children, and the librarians who serve them: children’s librarianship in its simplest form was born out of advocacy. In Miss Moore Thought Otherwise: How Anne Carroll Moore Created Libraries for Children, a children’s book about her life and accomplishments, Jan Pinborough describes the influence Moore had not just on the creation of youth services departments, but also the culture of the departments:
Miss Moore pushed for other changes, too. She urged the librarians to take down the SILENCE signs and spend time talking with children and telling them stories. She pulled dull books off the shelves and replaced them with exciting ones such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Swiss Family Robinson. She wrote book reviews and made book lists to help parents, librarians, and teachers find good books for children—and to encourage book publishers to publish better children’s books.

Charlemae Hill-Rollins and Other Trailblazers of the Field
Moore, however, was a white woman, a critic, and held quite a reputable position within New York literary circles throughout her life. Moore may have championed a diverse department, but the heart behind Charlemae Hill Rollins’s advocacy was purely intersectional: she advocated for children, but she also made it her life’s work to push back on stereotypical representations of children of color, and cultivated tolerance and empathy with everything she touched. In a spotlight on her legacy called “Leading Ladies of LIS: Charlemae Rollins,” Catoni describes her activism and cultural responsiveness to her community:
Rollins’ role as an advocate made her a leader in the field. Libraries are community centers, and she worked to change the library in order to suit the community’s needs. She persuaded her fellow librarians in the Chicago Public Library system to remove books that stereotyped African Americans and wrote to publishing companies to request more realistic representations of African Americans in children’s books. Her bibliography of African American children’s books reached a large audience, which shows how strong her leadership was.

Rollins may have not been the absolute first librarian participating in this kind of activism, but she was the first African American librarian to serve as head of children’s services at the Chicago Public Library, and in 1957, she became the first African American to be elected as president of the American Library Association’s Children’s Services Division. In 1941, Rollins published We Build Together: A Reader’s Guide to Negro Life and Literature for Elementary and High School Use through the National Council of Teachers of English, a compilation of recommended books that represent African Americans in a humanizing, well-rounded way. “Representation matters” is a phrase that has recently gained a significant amount of attention, and Rollins was one of the first trailblazers to take this stance publicly and to push back on the dominant culture. “Mirrors and windows” is another phrase that has gained a great deal of traction within the realm of children’s literature, and Rollins was no stranger to this idea either. She believed that representation mattered not only to the African American children who were being represented in a text, but the ways in which children were portrayed mattered for white children and those of different cultures, because those texts provided a window to see into an unfamiliar world:
Children as they are growing up need special interpretations of the lives of other peoples and must be helped to an understanding and tolerance. They cannot develop these qualities through contacts with others, if those closest to them are prejudiced and unsympathetic with other races and groups. Tolerance and understanding can be gained through reading the right books.

These texts were more than just literature, but social tools in creating a more empathetic society.

Pura Belpré, another trailblazer in the children’s literature world, “started her career by offering library services to children at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, making her the first Latina librarian to work in the New York Public Library.” She championed bilingual storytelling and provided library services to Spanish-speaking children and in 1996, the Pura Belpré award was created through a collaboration between the Association of Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking (REFORMA) “to encourage books by Latino/a authors and illustrators about Latino experiences in the United States.”

Charlemae Hill Rollins and Pura Belpré are just two advocates out of a myriad of children’s librarians who have worked toward creating more inclusive and safe library spaces in collections and through programming, and while I believe I would never be able to live up to their immense degree of accomplishments, I would like to follow in their footsteps with my library practice to the best of my abilities, and look to them and those like them as mentors and role models.
Public Librarians as Defenders of Human Rights
As an aspiring librarian, and one that is drawn to the field because of my equal love for literature and social justice work, I have always thought of the public library as a community space where all can gather—one that acknowledges and celebrates the unique nuances that make up our individual personhood. More than that, the public library is charged with the duty of serving its specific community’s needs, and plays a huge role in providing equity of access to its most vulnerable patrons. I was unaware, however, that certain communities of librarians have developed a philosophy of librarianship that is derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In “Public Libraries and Human Rights”, Kathleen de la Pena McCook and Katharine J. Phenix describe the intersection of library services and human rights advocacy:
Public libraries provide the resources for the still voice within each person to be nurtured and to grow. Public libraries provide a public space for discussion of issues important to the common good. These opportunities occur because public librarians in the United States have developed philosophies of collection development, outreach, and community building that are expansive and inclusive.
Through my research, my ideas about social justice work and public libraries (especially services to children) have been supported and bolstered, and I have discovered that my quest to fuse librarianship and advocacy is not a new one.

In “No Ordinary Place,” Clare Coffey writes of the solace and refuge she received from her local public library as a child:
But what libraries meant to my childhood cannot be divorced from the physical place…The silence, the anonymity, the apparent vastness of the place, the long rows of shelves and side rooms stocked with forgotten books and hung with oil paintings of forgotten patrons, made the library a more than ordinary place. Owned by no one in particular, it seemed imbued with a wealth of possibility that teemed beneath and on the edges of everyday life. In the library, among books I learned to love and curate, the terms of my encounter with the world slowly shifted. Anyone could be a someone here—and that included me.
Coffey describes the ways in which she could be considered “a someone” within the walls of the library, and it was those advocates for the creation of children’s spaces, for inclusive and accurate collections, and for programming that serves diverse populations of children regardless of their race or native tongue—that made the children’s department of public libraries the sanctuary and safe haven that it is today. Youth services librarians have always, and if I have any say, always will be advocates and activists standing up for the rights of all children, upholding the safe spaces that comfort, teach, and entertain their community’s young people. Anne Carroll Moore, Charlemae Rollins, Pura Belpré, and countless others have set the highest examples and standards, and it will be my absolute honor to follow those examples, to defend those standards, and to champion a new generation of “someones.”

Keywords:Implementing Complete Systematic Land Registration Acceleration in order to realize
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the land office in the acceleration implementation programcomplete systematic land registration (PTSL). The research method used is a normative juridical research method, which focuses on the study starting from the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations, accompanied by legal theories and principles related to the problems studied. The results of the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2018 concerning Complete Systematic Land Registration Article 1 number 2 regarding the meaning of PTSL, namely Land Registration activities for the first time which are carried out simultaneously for all Land Registration objects throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. Indonesia in one village/kelurahan or other name equivalent to that, which includes the collection of physical data and juridical data regarding one or several objects of Land Registration for the purposes of its registration. Regulation of the Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Number 6 of 2018 Article 2 point 2 states that PTSL aims to provide legal certainty and legal protection of community land rights based on simple, fast, smooth, safe, fair, equitable and open and accountable principles, so as to improve the welfare and prosperity of the community and the state economy, as well as reducing and preventing land disputes and conflicts. The Sidoarjo Regency Land Office as the executor of PTSL acceleration for the Sidoarjo Regency has made efforts to increase public interest in registering their land, given the complex stages of land registration implementation, and various obstacles in its implementation, but this does not become a barrier for the Sidoarjo Regency Land Office in achieving the target, which can be seen from the achievement of the targets that have been achieved.

The SAWS Market Street pump station, which currently produces over 40 million gallons per day for the city, is located at wells that were originally drilled in 1891. Originally steam driven, the pumps were updated in 1956 to be powered with electricity. Neighboring the pump station is the Briscoe Museum of Western Art, but prior to it, was The Carnegie Library, San Antonio’s first public library and later became the city’s central library. Most recently, the pump station added onsite chlorination. Although the pump station operations are relatively discreet, the 800,000 gallon storage tank is easily visible from the Arneson River Theatre and from the adjacent Hilton Palacio del Rio.

Nature is always trying to re-establish harmony, and within the psyche the principle of synthesis is dominant.
The cause of his death was unknown. You might say that there is a feminine polarity to the will — the willing surrender, the joyful acceptance of the other functions of the personality.

While libertarian ideas have become a significant and increasingly recognized force in political, academic and economic life, there has rarely been a clear and effective way available to view all of these ideas together – their history, components, connections, and impact.
Ever wish there was a Wikipedia for libertarianism? Well, now there is.
The Encyclopedia of Libertarianism is now freely available online at Libertarianism.org, a project of the Cato Institute. The Encyclopedia tightly weaves all of libertarianism’s diverse strands together into one comprehensive work and provides hundreds of succinct, originally written articles by some of the most widely recognized experts in the field. In one searchable place, the Encyclopedia provides a commanding, point-by-point understanding of libertarianism and its history by illuminating a vast range of economic, social, political, philosophical, cultural, individual, legal, historical, and psychological subjects through a libertarian of view.
Libertarian scholars continue to make substantial contributions to fields as diverse as philosophy, law, economics, political theory and history. The Encyclopedia provides an extensive, originally written history of libertarianism’s advancements in these fields, and contains many entries directly pertaining to libertarian leaders, thinkers, and libertarian-directed initiatives.
