Why think about the answer when in a few clicks Google can tell you? Does this make our students digitally literate? According to Wikipedia, digital literacy is the “ability to find, evaluate, and communicate information through typing and other media on various digital platforms”. Looking quickly at that definition, one could easily counter-argue my “digitally illiterate” point using my own example. I found the definition of digital literacy on Wikipedia, decided it must be trustworthy, and pasted it into this article, a standard practice for the majority of our students. That must mean I am digitally literate, right?
This is where I would disagree. I googled the query and chose the first thing to pop up, which happened to be Wikipedia. My reading of digital media was minimalistic. Wikipedia evaluated the source for me, paraphrasing what they took from the American Library Association. I simply copied and pasted it, so my engagement in the writing process was even less than in the reading. So how can I have shown digital literacy?
Now that we are using computers for many lessons and expect students to be able to do research and create presentations or type up their essays for class, what is stopping them from simply searching for the answers online? How do we prevent students from committing plagiarism or resorting to artificial intelligence (AI) to write their texts for them? How can you guarantee your students are digitally literate?
Go old school: stop using computers, pull out a pen and paper, and hope your students remember their personal handwriting would avoid plagiarism. But is this preparing the students for their future? Students need to learn to navigate the internet, find and evaluate trustworthy sources, and then share that information without losing their own voice amongst all their sources. The skills required to effectively do that take years to develop and need to be part of a vertically aligned part of the reading and writing curriculum from primary through to the final years of college.
The first step of digital literacy is to find and evaluate sources. This, of course, can only be done through reading. For many teachers, when they want students to find information online, they give them the link to the source. This is a great practice for the younger year levels, but as the students get older, we need to place more emphasis on helping students learn to identify trustworthy sources. In an age where the term “fake news” is constantly being thrown around and misinformation is presented as truth, the importance of the skill of evaluating and fact-checking sources has risen rapidly and we as teachers must ensure our students are well equipped for the task.
As the students get older, they need to learn how to access academic journal databases. Finding trustworthy sources and knowing how to evaluate whether a source is trustworthy has never been more important. The earlier and more often our students are exposed to these databases, the less they will struggle when it comes time to find academic articles for their Maturaarbeit and Extended Essay.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
OWENS CROSS ROADS CHURCH OF CHRIST
FROM 1908 – PRESENT
The following historical information was gathered and compiled by members of the Owens Cross Roads congregation of the Church of Christ. It is included in this Dedication Celebration program to remind us of the indebtedness we owe those for establishing the Lord’s church here at Owens Cross Roads.
The Church of Christ at Owens Cross Roads, Alabama, had its beginning 108 years ago in 1908, as the result of a gospel meeting. Brother R.N. Moody of Albertville, Alabama, preached under a brush arbor on a lot secured through the efforts of Alvie H. Ellett of Owens Cross Roads and U. D Ellett of New Hope, Alabama.
Awakened by the power of the gospel and the desire to restore the Church of the New Testament, people in the area began to search the scriptures as never before. The first convert is said to have been Alvie H. Ellett, who at the time was a Methodist Sunday school teacher. Following the brush arbor meeting, Brother Ellett and other brave souls such as Joe Craig, Sam Dudley and John Byrd carried on the spirit of Christ and kept it alive in the area.
For several summers, meetings were conducted under brush arbors and tents with many prominent evangelists of the day presenting gospel sermons. Such men as R. N. Moody, J. A. Gainer, B. Jones, Dr. Horton, G. Allen, Joe Jones, Collum Oakley, and John T. Smithson, Sr., bravely and boldly upheld the truth and helped the small congregation at Owens Cross Roads through the many trials of the day.
Between meetings, the worship services of the church were held in the homes of the members until approximately 1913, when space was provided on the second floor of Brother Alvie H. Ellett’s store. This place had at various times been used for a school, a Woodmen of the World Hall and an Oddfellow’s Hall. As the congregation grew, it was blessed by having members with great talent in the art of singing. Through the efforts of men like Robert M. Craft, James M. Maples and Roy A. Craig, the congregation became noted for its beautiful singing.
In 1922, a plot of ground in the center of Owens Cross Roads near Brother Ellett’s store was purchased from C. W. Evans by Robert M. Craft, Joe Ben Tabor, and Alvie H. Ellett for a building lot. In 1933, the Church of Christ at Owens Cross Roads erected its first building. It was a frame building and because of the Great Depression, materials were cheap and labor was readily available. As a result, the building was completed in time for the 1933 gospel meeting with John J. Smithson, Sr.
In 1945, Brother Charles Cobb presided over the appointment of Joe Ben Tabor, James M. “Jim” Maples and Roy A. Craig as the first elders of the congregation.
At the same time, L. H. Brockway, G. A. Kelly and Allen Maples were chosen to serve as the first deacons. During this period, young men preparing for the ministry presented the sermons. Among the speakers of the day were Tommy Rosenblum, George Marshall, Turner Paseur and Boyd Fanning.
By the year, 1952, an extra classroom had been added to the building, and in 1956, a preacher’s home was constructed behind the church building. Brother Charles Coates became the first located minister, and he and wife, Ernestine “Tine”, worked with the congregation from 1956 to 1960. During this time, in 1958, two more classrooms were added.
Brother Ralph Samples and his wife, Miriam “Mimi”, came to Owens Cross Roads in 1960, working with the congregation until 1962. Brother Paul Hosse and his wife, Doris, labored with the congregation from 1962 until 1966, and it was during this period the membership increased to approximately 140. In 1963, it became evident that the building and land were not adequate to accommodate any future growth, so Brother Joe Ben Tabor and his wife, Laura Craft Tabor, donated land on Old Highway 431 for a new building. Construction of the new building began in the spring of 1964, under the supervision of Brother Roy Craig, and was completed in late fall of that year. The first assembly for worship in the new building was on November 8, 1964, with Brother Hosse presenting the lesson. An open house was held on November 22, 1964, with Brother Paul Hunton speaking and the Madison Academy Chorus providing a program of songs. A crowd estimated at 550 assembled for the open house.
In 1966, Brother John Cunningham and his wife, Sally, came to work with the congregation. John was the minister for 19 years.
In the 1970’s, a new wing of classrooms was added to the building. In 1986, Brother Stan Stevenson and his wife, Jule, came to work with the congregation and labored until June of 1991. A large fellowship hall was added to the building in 1991. This facility had a modern kitchen and storage area. New restrooms, carpeting in the auditorium, and carpeting in the foyer were also added. In September of 1991, Brother Joe Hacker, Jr. and his wife, Joan, arrived and worked with the congregation until the summer of 1994. Brother J. B. Whitaker and his wife, Carol, came to us in January 1995. Due to failing health, Brother Whitaker retired from fulltime preaching the last Sunday of 2000.
After Brother Whitaker retired, men of the congregation, along with area preachers, fulfilled the pulpit duties until July 2001, when Brother Harold Kelly assumed the duties of minister. Construction of a new auditorium and additional classrooms began in 2002, and the first assembly in the new auditorium took place May 11, 2003. The old auditorium was converted into a new fellowship hall, and the old fellowship hall was turned into a classroom for the teenagers. Brother Harold Kelly and his wife, Annette, continue to work with the congregation to date. After moving into the new auditorium we added a new Elder, Jerry Prince.
In September 2011 four additional Elders, Gregory K. Shubert, Randy Morrison, John C. Stephens and Harold L. Kelly were installed. On June 9, 2013, Greg Shubert passed away after suffering from cancer. Jerry Prince and John Stephens later resigned.
The current elders are J. Thomas Conwell, Jr., Ronald F. Bridges, Randy M. Morrison and Harold L. Kelly.
Our first Sunday morning worship service at 124 Eastwood Drive in a brand new building was held September 18th, 2016.
We are thankful for the efforts of our Construction Committee Chairmen, Larry Furlough and Benny Burleson for their oversight of our new construction. We also are thankful for the efforts of Gregg Bragg, Eric Maine, John Smith, Consolidated Construction and the numerous members of the Owens Cross Roads Church of Christ who made this project possible.
As we move forward, we pray for the continued growth of the Church here and abroad. We dedicate this building as an instrument for the glory of God and the expansion of His Kingdom.

Long before space travel, there was great science fiction
Here’s how to build your library for free.
Let’s travel through time to the books of the distant past — so distant, in fact, that the authors are long dead and their writings are now free.
Project Gutenberg is a vast collection of classic books in the public domain (most copyrights expire 70 years after an author’s death), ready to transport you to fascinating worlds free of charge on your Kindle or mobile device. There are many different categories on Gutenberg (autobiographies, histories, books about calculus); today I’ll focus on classic fiction.
Non-fiction accounts for the majority of my bookshelf, but reading fiction — especially the old stuff — is a totally different experience. It allows you to switch off the learning-and-doing part of your brain and engage exclusively in imagination and exploration. That’s fun in and of itself, but when you make it a habit, it can also give your brain more fuel for creativity and insight when you switch back to getting things done.
Here’s a sampling of some of the most popular public domain classic fiction. You can find these and about 53,000 more at gutenberg.org.
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
Frankenstein (Mary Shelley)
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Around The World In 80 Days (Jules Verne)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Lost World (Arthur Conan Doyle)
The Time Machine (H.G. Wells)
Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson)
A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens)
Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass (Lewis Carroll)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (L. Frank Baum)
The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde)
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (Mark Twain)
Choose your favorite of any of those authors, and there are usually quite a few lesser-known but equally great books by each of them.
I love classic fiction because it’s an opportunity to experience first-hand a book that has made a sweeping, sometimes very subtle impact on popular culture.
All the books referenced above are household names, but each one has also contributed little turns of phrase and storylines that are repeated again and again in modern life, often without us even realizing it. It’s not unusual to encounter a character or concept that you take for granted as a staple of our common culture — but in fact, you’re reading the first time it ever appeared on a page.
This is especially fun for the books that have been converted into Disney movies, because the originals are so incredibly weird (and in some cases entirely unsuitable for anything rated G). The Lost Boys of Peter Pan (who were abandoned by their caretakers after falling out of their strollers) and the copious hallucinogenic experiences in Alice and The Wizard of Oz are just the tip of the iceberg.
It’s also a window into the mindset of great writers who lived centuries ago. The elaborate opium dens and casual cocaine use in Sherlock Holmes and the whirlwind of cultures and cities in Around The World in 80 Days are snapshots of a strange world the authors took for granted as normal.
I’m fascinated by the authors’ guesses at a future that is now our present. The science fiction in 20,000 Leagues, for example, is all about submarine travel. (It was published in 1870, in the early years of submarine development.) There are some areas that are startlingly prescient, and others that seem absurd in the context of modern science, like the fact that the people walk on the sea floor with no concern for water pressure and a submarine navigates under Antarctica to arrive at an open sea at the South Pole.
I can’t help but think this is exactly how future nerds will feel when they watch Star Trek in 150 years.
Before we wrap, a quick note about putting Gutenberg books on your mobile device or Kindle. Head to m.gutenberg.org for the mobile-friendly site. Each book will have an option for either a Kindle or MOBI download. If you click these links in your mobile browser, your Kindle app should load the book, and you’re good to go. You can also navigate directly to that URL on a physical Kindle device. (There’s also an EPUB format, which works in iBooks and other free reader apps.)
Start with the Top 100 list or just search an intriguing author or title. The fantasies of the past await.


Formatting Mla documents
Academic Publishers and Postgraduate Students should also review the MLA Guide and the Scientific Publishing Guide. MLA reference is available at most writing centers and reference libraries.

The MLA is one of the most common writing styles in many colleges and requires a number of requirements. Below are the important points to consider when writing an MLA research paper. Another issue to consider along with the format of the MLA research paper is the issue of plagiarism. Each academic writer is expected to use the right style of research and writing to justify the work of the other. Always stay away from plagiarism if you want to be successful in your studies. Voluntary or involuntary plagiarism is considered a very serious crime in academia..

Google Scholar provides access to the Catholic University library catalog as well as several of the article databases the university subscribes to.
The Catholic University library catalog and a number of the article databases the university subscribes to are accessible through Google Scholar.
Google Scholar: pros and cons
Many academics and students utilize Google Scholar, a particularly potent search engine for scientific publications. Finding and accessing articles that you are already familiar with or conducting a fast search on a subject are very helpful.
When you need a broad overview of the literature on a particular subject, such as for your thesis or literature review, Google Scholar is less helpful. This is due to the restricted possibilities provided by Google Scholar for using boolean operators (such as AND, OR, and NOT) to combine several search phrases. Google Scholar always does full-text searches on articles. However, you cannot limit your search to, for example, title or abstract. Advanced searching allows you to limit your search to certain fields (title, author, a specific journal, and date). and keyword fields (like Scopus) alone.
You cannot see the choices that Google Scholar makes for you. Based on algorithms that Google continually modifies, it ranks the search results and only displays the first 1,000 results of any search. The rating is based on variables that you might not be aware of, such as your location or language preferences.
Therefore, it is preferable to utilize a bibliographic database to obtain an overview of the scientific literature on a certain subject. Learn here how to select the top databases for your topic.
Getting access to publications
If you visit Google Scholar via the WUR Library website while on campus, you will immediately have access to the sources that are part of the WUR collections.
Make sure the Google Scholar website links to the WUR Library when you use it so you can easily access the authorized sources. Go to Settings in the top menu if you can’t find a “Get It from WUR” link next to your search results. Add Wageningen University & Research Library to the list by selecting library links in this section.
Visit How to Access Licensing Sources directly for additional details on how to access licensed sources away from school.
Tips to improve your search
The majority of these suggestions also work on Google; take note!
To search in certain “fields” or to filter results by a specific year range, use the Advanced search option (in the menu). Although these settings won’t function properly (see above), limiting the number of results can be useful.
When searching for numerous words that are close to one another and in the exact same sequence (such as in compound terms or an identical phrase), such as “climate change” or “the impact of climate change on food security,” use double quote marks. If not, Google (Scholar) will automatically join many words using the AND operator.
Use the OR operator to include alternate phrases. Google Scholar occasionally excludes apparent synonyms from your search. You may join these phrases by using the OR operator. learn more. You may also use | (a pipe) instead of OR, like in the following example, to discover heart infarction, myocardial infarction, heart attack, and myocardial attack.
- Use the – operator to omit particular phrases. You are free to omit any number of words, such as mercury-ford-freddy-outboards-planet.
- Allintitle: Be sure to just search for words that are in the title, like allintitle:agaricus bisporus.”
- Filetype: Use filetype to focus your search on particular file formats. or ext: For instance, “agaricus bisporus” filetype:pdf
- Site: Specify specific websites or domains for your search. For websites lacking effective search capabilities, for example, the “plant diseases” site at journals.plos.org, this may be helpful. You may narrow your search by nation or kind of institution by using specific domain extensions, such as “plant diseases” site:.edu (academic institutions in the USA).
- To do more focused searches, combine all of the aforementioned terms, for example, carbon dioxide” or “carbon phosphorus.
- Utilize additional helpful Google Scholar tools and customize your search using Settings. Create your own personal library of references (My Library), set up literary alerts, or let Google Scholar import citation links into EndNote or another reference manager, for instance. You must log in using your Google account in order to utilize these features.
- Also keep in mind that Google offers several search engines for various sorts of sources, like Google Books and Google Patents.

I went to the fair with my friend Aisha Al-Hajjar who was asked to cover it for Arab News, she writes columns for Saudi Life and has her own blog Saudi Birth Story too. I was honored to be asked by her to cover for the photos for the Arab News article.
Coming from an extremely strong culture of reading, (we grew up reading books, not watching TV) the fair was a very positive surprise for me. There was so many children's books for sale ranging from toddlers touch and learn type books to older kids bedtime stories. The fair had many books in English as well and some English learning centers were represented along with a few embassies such as Sweden and Japan.
My husband bought some books for our baby because she is already such a little bookworm! These were her first Arabic language books. I started reading to her when she was a few weeks old in Finnish and now whenever she sees a book she tries to grab it so it is definitely paying off already.
Reading to children is not as common in Saudi-Arabia than it is in Finland, but it seems to be growing in popularity. Reading to your kids is always highly beneficial for their language skills and strengthens the bond between the child and parent.
A nice bedtime story will help the child relaz and wind down before falling asleep and even look forward to going to bed. I hope many parents get the inspiration and encouragement of reading to their kids from this fair.
The fair had many other aspects to it on top of the book fair there was a museum, plays and shows and interactive learning center. I would recommend all parents Saudis and expats alike visit this fair with their children!

Please note that the following installation instructions are only valid for POSIX systems (e.g., Linux, MacOS) with an already installed make/gnu toolchain. For instructions on how to download and compile PCL in Windows (which uses a slightly different process), please visit our tutorials page.
For systems for which we do not offer precompiled binaries, you need to compile Point Cloud Library (PCL) from source. Here are the steps that you need to take: Go to Github and download the version number of your choice. Uncompress the tar-bzip archive, e.g. (replace 1.7.2 with the correct version number):
tar xvfj pcl-pcl-1.7.2.tar.gz
Change the directory to the pcl-pcl-1.7.2 (replace 1.7.2 with the correct version number) directory, and create a build directory in there:
cd pcl-pcl-1.7.2 && mkdir build && cd build
Run the CMake build system using the default options:
Or change them (uses cmake-curses-gui):
Please note that cmake might default to a debug build. If you want to compile a release build of PCL with enhanced compiler optimizations, you can change the build target to “Release” with “-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release”:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
Finally compile everything (see compiler_optimizations):
And install the result:
make -j2 install
Or alternatively, if you did not change the variable which declares where PCL should be installed, do:
sudo make -j2 install
Here’s everything again, in case you want to copy & paste it:
cd pcl-pcl-1.7.2 && mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. make -j2 sudo make -j2 install
Again, for a detailed tutorial on how to compile and install PCL and its dependencies in Microsoft Windows, please visit our tutorials page. Additional information for developers is available at the Github PCL Wiki.
If you are eager to try out a certain feature of PCL that is currently under development (or you plan on developing and contributing to PCL), we recommend you try checking out our source repository, as shown below. If you’re just interested in browsing our source code, you can do so by visiting https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl pcl-trunk
Please note that above steps (3-5) are almost identical for compiling the experimental PCL trunk code:
cd pcl-trunk && mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .. make -j2 sudo make -j2 install
Because PCL is split into a list of code libraries, the list of dependencies differs based on what you need to compile. The difference between mandatory and optional dependencies, is that a mandatory dependency is required in order for that particular PCL library to compile and function, while an optional dependency disables certain functionality within a PCL library but compiles the rest of the library that does not require the dependency.
The following code libraries are required for the compilation and usage of the PCL libraries shown below:
pcl_* denotes all PCL libraries, meaning that the particular dependency is a strict requirement for the usage of anything in PCL.
1.40 (without OpenNI)
1.47 (with OpenNI)
The following code libraries enable certain additional features for the PCL libraries shown below, and are thus optional:
In certain situations, the instructions above might fail, either due to custom versions of certain library dependencies installed, or different operating systems than the ones we usually develop on, etc. This section here contains links to discussions held in our community regarding such cases. Please read it before posting new questions on the mailing list, and also use the search features provided by our forums - there’s no point in starting a new thread if an older one that discusses the same issue already exists.

Judging from his straninome alone, it appears my ancestor Pietro Perrone “Palardèn” must have been someone of great respect in Giusvalla. Whatever specific actions warranted him that fine nickname have been lost to time, but it’s apparent from other sources that Pietro was someone who was trusted and relied upon by his fellow Giusvallìn. His name appears over and over among the town records, as arbitrator, town councilman and witness to various important documents. As a respected town elder, he was appointed mayor of Giusvalla in the 1830s. He is also recorded throughout the church records of San Matè, it is apparent that he was an active and faithful parishioner.
Pietro was born in Giusvalla in 1773 and was a son of Gaspare Perrone and Caterina Scarrone. He is called “contadino” (farmer) on the early records, as the eldest son he inherited the farm on the family homestead at ra Collà. Pietro married Angela Maria Caterina Doglio in 1799 and became the father of ten children and through them, the scion of one of the largest Perrone families in Giusvalla …. quite a feat when you consider that each of the many brichi ed Giusvalla had their own Perrone clan. By the time of his death in 1855, he is called “possidente” (wealthy); it is evident that Pietro “Palardèn” lived a fruitful and industrious life.
Pietro’s eldest son, Gaspare Perrone “Gashpèn ‘d Palardèn,” inherited the family farm at ra Collà, he followed in his father’s footsteps and married a local girl, Margherita Baccino, with whom he had a large brood of ten children of his own. Catasti records indicate that Gaspare made certain improvements to his father’s farm at ra Collà, and that the farm included a respectable number of livestock (an indication of prosperity in oft-impoverished Giusvalla). Several of Gaspare’s children were among the first waves of Giusvallini immigrants to South America. In fact, later in life, Gaspare accompanied his daughter Adelaide and her family to Montevideo, Uruguay, where he died in 1876 at the age of 76.
Following in the tradition, Gaspare’s eldest son Lorenzo Antonio Perrone remained on the family farm at ra Collà, where he honored the other tradition of having a large family. Lorenzo and his wife, Maria Luigia Perrone (from the Perrone family “dei Galletti”) had nine children, including my 2nd great-grandmother, Maria Caterina “Marinìn.”
Our “mùma granda” Marinìn never came to the United States, but her son Francesco “Franceschèn” Rosaio did, and so did her brother Antonio Perrone. Both my great-grandfather Rosaio and his uncle “Borba Tunèn” initially worked for the DuPont family; my great-grandfather in the powder mills and Borba Tunèn as a carpenter and stone mason in the Hagley yard. By 1917, my great-grandfather was in the mushroom business on his own farm on Ebright Road (and had married a girl from yet another Perrone family of Giusvalla – Caterina Perrone “Catarinìn ‘d Piedrinìn”).
After the powder mills closed, Borba Tunèn went to work as a stonemason on the Henry F. DuPont estate at Winterthur. But he deserves a story of his own.

As many already know, "Proud To Be Italian" day at Winterthur turned out to be a huge success. Frank and I (as well as the staff at Winterthur) were very pleased with all who'd taken the time out of their already short-and-packed weekend agendas, to come and see all that we'd worked to put together.
In the midst of the event, my mother, Marianne (Salvo) Brady, thought it might be a good idea to place a "sign-in" sheet on the exhibit display table, to help in capturing the names of some of the many who'd come out to Winterthur for the day. After finding out about what she had done, I was so happy to see that my mother had taken the initiative to do this. There were so many people present for the event whom I'd never met before, and I feel that this list really helped in being able to capture a glimpse of the many who helped in making this event so memorable.
Although these sheets do not include all of the individuals who came out that day, I wanted to pay tribute to those who had taken the time to jot their names down for us. Hopefully after you signed, you were able to get a piece of the Torrone too! (click on the image to see it in enlarged form)
Up the winding road about a mile past his father’s farm at Barbiella, my great-grandfather Rosaio would have arrived at ra ca deŕ Vicoŕi (località Vicari) and the home of the Buschiazzo family. In those days, it was common for young adults – and even children – to leave the family home to go to work on the farm of a neighboring family. The work was generally unpaid, but it alleviated the burden on the family when children could be sent to live with a neighboring family, where they would “earn their keep” by helping out on the farm. Times were much different in the days of our grandparents and great-grandparents; families did whatever was necessary to survive. My great-grandfather went to work on the farm at Vicari as a young boy.
Località Vicari is located northwest of the center of Giusvalla – the farm would have consisted of perhaps two cleared acres among the heavily forested hills. The road that led from the “strada provinciale” to Vicari was dirt (it still is today), one would pass the small farm and the Ca’d Tunòn at Barbiella to the right while making the way to Vicari. My great-grandfather’s father Tunòn was considered extremely fortunate, his farm at Barbiella included “duj bùi” – two large steer – so he did not have to till the rocky soil of his farm by hand. I bùi ‘d Tunòn came to him by way of a tumultuous agreement he reached with his brother Gianòn in settling their late father’s estate – Tunòn got the steer and Gianòn got the small house off the main road. It is said that Tunòn got the better end of that deal.
Like all the farms in Giusvalla, the Buschiazzo farm at Vicari was modest and hardscrabble. The small family home was a field stone and wood beam structure – one level – consisting of a kitchen and perhaps two bedrooms. There may have been a tiny root cellar or cold shed beneath the house. There was of course, no running water – it was taken from a nearby spring or stream. There was a small stone barn where the cow, pig and goat were kept – if the family was fortunate enough to have them. This is where my great-grandfather and any other farm hands would have slept as well. The Buschiazzo house maid, Lucia Ancili, would have slept in the main house, probably in the kitchen.
The main crops in Giusvalla at the time were granturco (corn) and fieno (hay). My great-grandfather helped with the tilling of the fields – the Buschiazzo family did not have any “bùi” so this was done by hand – then the planting and harvesting. The family also kept a garden, fruit trees and of course the beloved “cashtagne.” The families in Giusvalla tried their best to preserve enough of the harvest to last through the long and cold winters there. This was not an easy task. If the family was lucky enough to have a pig, it would be slaughtered near harvest time and the meat would be cured or made into sotìzza and stored in the cold shed. Every bit of the pig was utilized in some way, they wasted nothing. The men would hunt wild boar and deer in the abundant boschi throughout Giusvalla in order to help put a little meat on the table. Portabello and porcini mushrooms would have been another staple, harvested throughout the summer in Giusvalla’s abundant forests and dried in the sun to preserve them for future use. Many a meal would have been made of polenta with mushrooms. If the harvest was bad, or there was no pig that year, or the winter lingered a bit too long – or the family did not prepare adequately – they were in trouble. Malnourishment and even starvation was not uncommon.
It was a terribly difficult existence, but in the midst of it was life and love and friendship. In between the daily chores, my great-grandfather would have enjoyed a few minutes with his friends GioBatta Buschiazzo and Lucia Ancili. GioBatta left the farm at Vicari as a young man, he came to the United States and went to work for the DuPont family in the powder mills. He went back and forth from Italy to the U.S. a couple times over the years before returning permanently to take over the family farm at Vicari. He died there in 1963.
Little Lucia Ancili – like my great-grandfather – went to work on the farm at Vicari as a young girl. She worked in the main house and would have been responsible (among other things) for helping in the kitchen, the washing, the garden – and even the harvest, when everyone came out of the house to help in the fields. When Lucia came to the U.S. in 1912, she went to live with my great-grandfather Rosaio (who came in 1910). She never married and had developed tuberculosis and a deformity on her upper spine, my great-grandfather cared for Lucia until she passed away within a couple years of her arrival here in the U.S.
Life presented new challenges here in America, but a background of hard work and perseverance in Giusvalla prepared our grandparents and great-grandparents for anything. They worked hard and pushed forward, they became Americans and were proud to be here. My great-grandfather came here as a young man and within a few years was running his own farm of over 100 acres. I wonder what he dreamed about after those long days tilling the rocky fields at Vicari – could he have ever imagined the opportunities that lay ahead in America?

ORAL TRADITION AND BIKOL PRINTED POETRY
February 15, 2007
It is wise to reclaim our oral poetic traditions to enrich our contemporary literature. It will give cultural identity to our literary outputs. Just today, in my reaction to Dr. Cyril Conde’s lecture entitled: “The Archive of Kadunong: Exploring the Oral Narrative Literature of the Bikol Region in the Philippines, I focused on the relationship between oral and printed poetic tradition in the Bikol context. Poetry is primordially an oral language art and so it is necessary to look back to this reality.
There are a lot of things to consider in this enterprise including our colonial past, ‘neo-colonial’ present situation and the discourse of the printing press.
Our emcee for the program was Mr. Tomas Honrado Navarro. Eugene Eclar also gave a rendition of an oral narrative with regard the Our Lady of Angustia. My fellow reactor was Ms. Sarah Balane, an insructor of literature in Ateneo de Naga University.
Truly, Dr. Conde’s lecture deserved the attention it had. We all must develop the habit of attending this kind of lectures.


When you first create a Group and give it access to the Resource Library module, none of the existing Documents in the Library will be accessible. This is because the new Group hasn't been assigned permissions to any Files/Documents. While you could edit each Document and select the new Group in the permissions area, there's a much easier way to assign permissions using the Library Report.
Step 1: Go to Library > Reports
Step 2: Go To The Library Report
The Library Report includes a list of all the items in the Library.
Step 3: Select Documents To Change Permissions > Actions
You can select the top checkbox to select all the items on the page. You'll then use the Actions button to do one of the following:
- Replace Group Permissions - allows you to REPLACE the current Groups assigned to the selected records with a new set of Groups.
- Add Group Access - allows you to ADD additional Groups to the selected records.
Step 4: Set Permissions & Visibility
If REPLACING Permissions, the system will prompt you to select one of the following radio buttons:
- Everyone: All Users assigned to Groups with "Library Access" will have access to the file.
- Selected Groups: Only Users in the selected Groups will have access to the file. (Gives you the ability to select the Groups that you want to have access to the file.)
- No One (hide these Files from regular Users): The file will only be visible to Admin Users and Internal Users with "Document Administration" access to the Library.
Note: Learn more about Permissions & Visibility here.
Replace Group Permissions Screen
If ADDING Group access, the system will prompt you to select a Group from the dropdown menu.
Add Group Permissions Screen
What if I have more than one Library?
If you have more than one Library, you'll repeat the above process in each Library.

R.E.M. - (Don’t Go Back to) Rockville
Ferguson has plenty of company when it comes to federal scrutiny of police departments.
Under Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., the Justice Department has initiated twice as many reviews of police departments for possible constitutional violations as the next most prolific of his predecessors. At least 34 other departments are under investigation for alleged civil rights violations.
But Clarence Harmon, a former St. Louis mayor and city police chief, said the number and types of allegations in Ferguson set the city’s department apart.
“The cases themselves are fairly extraordinary — so is the volume,” said Harmon, who in 1997 became the second black mayor of the city. “It’s prima facie evidence of discriminatory practices. I would be surprised if Justice didn’t make a recommendation that they be placed under scrutiny.”
Those of you who know me personally know that this year has been hard for many reasons, and that some of my very favorite days are zine fest days. Traveling for zine events, visiting zine friends and sharing my work, the work of our press, and the works included in our distro…
There are lakes everywhere in Minnesota and now one of them has a floating library.
Thanks to Sarah Peters the contraption above is open for business on Cedar Lake in Minneapolis. Designed by Molly Reichert the 8 foot structure will hold upwards of 80 books for water travelers to peruse and check out.
Canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, skiffs, rowboats, or even inner tubes are invited to paddle up to the Library and browse the shelves from inside their watercraft. The library has both circulating and reference collections of artists’ books contributed by artists nationwide. A staff of friendly floating librarians facilitate the check out process and make reading suggestions
There are even drop off boxes on the shore to return the books.
About the project, Peters told the Minneapolis Star Tribune “Art books are not a widely known art form..And so there’s an element of delight and surprise. First of all, canoeing along and coming across a library. And then having it stocked with books that are totally unique. It’s like this double whammy of inventiveness. It can expand people’s ideas of what art is.”
True enough but it could also ruin a lot of those unique books. Granted one cannot enter the library but the confluence of books and water rarely ends well.
Perhaps a shore-based library by the landing dock could have achieved the goal of exposing people to the pleasures of book arts and artists books without the high risk. But then again maybe the reward is in the risk.

Of Public Interest: The Singapore Art Museum Resource Room (2015) - Installation
Opened on 20 August, 2015
Exhibition from 21 August, 2015 to 27 March, 2016
part of President's Young Talents 2015, Singapore Art Museum
at Singapore Art Museum at 8Q
8 Queen Street, Singapore 188535
Of Public Interest was a project that moved 4,500 volumes from the Singapore Art Museum’s (SAM) resource room into the space of a gallery.
The Singapore Art Museum Resource Room is a collection of catalogues, brochures and books that the institution has amassed since its inception in 1996. A number of these materials were acquired specifically for the resource room, but most of them were gifted to the institution by individuals and partner organisations. This resource room was open for access as a reference library until 2008, when the museum’s administrative offices moved out of the main building into a neighbouring complex.
For his President’s Young Talents commission, Zihan decided to reopen this body of information for public access over the duration of the exhibition. Together with a team of 25 volunteers, these books were catalogued and sequenced chronologically according to their date of publication. They have also been colour-coded according to the location of the publisher and presenting institution.
Presented as an installation-in-flux, the work functioned as a reference library open to the public. The public was invited to shape the collection for the duration of the exhibition from August 2015 to March 2016, subject to the following conditions:
- Each visitor was allowed to withdraw one book from the collection. Public access to this book was restricted for the duration of the exhibition. These books were shrink-wrapped and placed in a separate area of the installation.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Release Date: Feb. 10. 2015
Harper Teen: Young Adult
You find this review and others on my Goodreads here
The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.
To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.
Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.
But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?
There is this blog I follow (On The Same Page) that consists of three bloggers who created what is called ARC Tours, not blog tours, where they are donated ARC’s and other bloggers sign up to be apart of. It is basically passing the book on to different bloggers and readers around the US before the books released date!
So I decided to sign up and be apart of the ARC tours. I have been apart of, I think, 6? I love the idea of receiving the books from a blogger/reader, reading the book and then passing it on to another blogger/reader so they can enjoy the book as I did. It is a fun way to meet new friends and read new books. It is not necessary to post reviews of the ARC but if you would like to then you do. I personally haven’t posted reviews of the 6 books I did get to read because I was swamped with other reviews but this time I made myself sit and write this one because I was so in love with the book and had to write about it!
The Red Queen is called by many “Graceling meets The Selection” but I honestly do not agree with them. This book was its own and I loved the world , the characters and the deceiving ploys that happened along the way. From the beginning I was grappled by the main character, Mare, and her life as a Red. Reds are the lower class because of their blood color (red) and are below the Silvers whose blood is silver meaning they hold powers within their blood. My favorite part in the book was the different powers the Silvers had. It ranges from people who could manipulate metal, water, fair, light and even the mind of others.
I feel like I can’t explain how I feel about this book like I want to or I will tell you all what happens because I want you all to read it for yourselves and enjoy as much as I did.
What I can tell you is that the author exploits the world building and characters beautifully, dropping the biggest betrayals, secret affairs and writing of surprising deaths that has you feeling empty and just feeling it all at once!
In the book we are quickly introduced to the characters and its dystopian world that grabs your attention quickly, not letting you go until its heartbreaking ending that leaves you begging for more while simultaneously casting curses on the author for making you wait another year. I loved how fast paces the book was despite its thick size. Oh and when the characters used their Silver powers?
It. Blew. My. Mind.
Especially Mare and her “strange” and “unknown” power? Goodness she was such a badass that I was whooping and clapping for her throughout the book. I devoured this in a day or so and could not get enough. I am so upset that I have to wait a year on the sequel cause I am dying to know what happens next! The doing was one of the worst cliffhangers for me but also had me that much more excited.
I think this is all I can say for now before I spoil some of you. Thank you for reading and I hope you get a copy for yourself soon so we can fangirl about incredible 5-star book together!
Over and out.


Pencil drawing in February 2012
Being a pencil drawing after scanning the sheet was almost white to the pc so I had to darken it and was completely ruined the stretch, you do not see the shadows of my pencil on the face or armature it on the mantle, I'm sorry unable to post the best or at least it is actually on paper.
“The son of Tuor and Idril daughter of Turgon, Eärendil was raised as a child in Gondolin, where he was described in The Book of Lost Tales, Part 2 (The History of Middle-earth, Vol. 2) - "Now this babe was of greatest beauty; his skin of a shining white and his eyes of a blue surpassing that of the sky in southern lands - bluer than the sapphires of the raiment of Manwe". When Eärendil was seven years old, he escaped the sacking of Gondolin with his parents, living afterwards in Arvernien by the mouth of Sirion. Eärendil later became the leader of the people who lived there, and married Elwing, daughter of Dior the son of Beren and Lúthien. They had two sons, Elrond and Elros.
He saw his people destroyed by the dark lord and decided to use his talent to navigate to find the land of Valinor that still stood on Arda. He was the first son of Illuvatar to return after the exile and the great Valar listened to him, he was responsible for the defeat of Morgoth. He and his family was asked to make a choice, they could choose whether to become or Eldain Eldar. He, for the love of his wife, he chose to become elf while loving humans, his son Elros instead chose to become human, and it was he who gave life to the race of Numenor, the highest among humans, which marked the fall of Sauron.
The Valar had allowed it to dock on their land would not allow him to leave and was sentenced to return no more fatalities in the lands of Middle-earth, but he was allowed to surf in the sea which he loved, and to shine in heaven ages that remained in Arda thus be a source of hope for all the children of Illuvatar.” Tolkien-The Silmarillion.
I tried to be the best one of my favorite characters which I have marked the history of the world of Arda, a descendant of the most high king of the elves and men of the past, a character born in the most dangerous of all ages, who managed to find their way to the gods and gave birth to the two highest representatives of the elves and men in later ages. I hope I have made him the best.
Thanks so much for your visit!

What happens when crowdfunding doesn't succeed?
Crowdfunding is difficult. It is difficult to choose a project that appeals to the audience that you can reach. Ultimately, you are making a pitch to your friends, friends of friends, and their friends. If you don't know people in that group that would like your product, it is unlikely to succeed.
What happens to a project after the crowdfunding fails?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
(Appropriated from Langston Hughes' Harlem (What happens to a dream deferred?)
My most recent project was the Ready RepRap. This one, more than any of the others, was a labor of love. It was an exercise in design and cost restraint. Despite not garnering enough interest to justify spending more time on it, I feel like I honed some of my skills in open-source engineering and in documenting a process from start to finish.
I didn't want this project to simply disappear with no contribution to the art of making, so I've decided to release it into the Creative Commons under the CC-BY-4.0 license.
You can download all the assets, including 3D printable objects, instruction book, and firmware. When you build it, you will have some work debugging the extruder system, which is the thing I did not have time to totally work out. The hardware, however, is sound. The toolchain is sound, and the project's immediate predecessor, the RepRap Libro (which I designed while working at the Pueblo City-County Library District) is also sound and has been replicated and used in four different library branches.
Please feel free to download the instruction manual from GitHub. Use it however you wish. It provides a very clear way to create a low cost 3D printer or delta positioning robot. That was the actual goal, anyway. And by that accounting it succeeded. :-D


Anna and I were honoured this year to go behind the scenes with the Liberty Design Team to talk about the new ‘Aesthetic Renaissance’ AW19 collection. We were so excited to have the opportunity to meet Polly who is the Design Manager for Liberty Fabrics. She talked us through the newest seasonal collection and showed us some of the original paintings and drawings, explaining the design process. It was such a privilege to be able to talk about the collection with someone from the team who actually designed the fabrics.
Polly painting Frieze.
Polly told us about the inspiration behind the collection, what it’s like to work within the Liberty Fabrics design and archive team and showed us some of the workings and drawings for many different fabrics within the collection.
The Inspiration Behind the Collection
The collection is inspired by the heritage of Liberty. It looks back to their founder Arthur Lasenby Liberty, his influences and the beginnings of the world-famous shop we see today. The team delved into the Westminster archives, which had fascinating historical documents including books and ledgers with details of Arthur’s merchant travels.
The other resource that is crucial in designing a collection is the Liberty archive where there is an unimaginable amount of material from which to take inspiration. This archive is now digitised and has in excess of 45,000 original drawings and painting to choose from.
They were looking specifically at the time of the Aesthetic Movement (which is within the same time-frame of the Liberty London store being established) in order to glean material for this new autumn winter 2019 collection. Oscar Wilde, William Morris and Rossetti were influential at this time and orientalism, where exotic silks, searched out from the East, were central to the work of Arthur Liberty.
The collection embraces Arthur as traveller, tastemaker and English gentleman sharing stories and anecdotes from the archive and the Liberty legend he created.
As one of the original merchant adventurers, Arthur introduced exotic textiles and artefacts from around the world and, Liberty became central to the development of the Aesthetic Movement in the late 1800’s. The collection is framed by designs drawn from the English countryside that Arthur escaped to when he left the buzz of his London city store.
Designing a Seasonal Collection
Firstly, Polly and the Design Director of Fabrics, Mary-Ann Dunkley work together on a concept, a mood for the season. They use this to inspire and give structure to the research stage of the collection. There is a core team of four designers who produce the seasonal artwork. Each designer proposes ideas, sketches for new designs and results of their exploration of the archive. Regular design meetings give constant focus and structure to the development of the collection.
Polly said “I try and challenge myself to use new techniques and push the boundaries of the artwork. This makes it relevant, and exciting. Arthur Liberty was pushing the boundaries in the work he was doing and so, we try to carry on with this tradition.” Usually 5-7 colour palettes are created every season and for each design, up to 30 colourways can be created for the design team to choose from. The team will then select 8 which go to printing test and a final selection reduces the options to the three most successful fabrics. This process results in the vibrant and contemporary collection you see here.
The collection is based around three themes:
- Artistic Interior
The peacock and sunflower are emblems of the artistic heritage of Liberty and the Aesthetic Movement. These are seen in many designs across the decades within the Liberty archive. There are several prints within this collection that have these motifs at the heart of their design. Isadora, Walter, and Sunflower are wonderful examples of this. Polly said that she drew inspiration from beautiful places such as James Whistler’s ‘Peacock Room’ in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington DC and Stafford Terrace in Kensington, London, a house frozen in time from the early 1900’s, both amazing in terms of patterns and design.
‘Lemon Grove’ is a vibrant, loose interpretation of William Morris’s ‘Pomegranate’ wallpaper, found on the walls of Stafford Terrace.
‘Rebecca’ – this pattern is from an old Victorian book in the archive with beautiful hand painting. The new print is a delicate botanical with a mixture of trailing flowers, including dahlias, morning glory, lilac, marguerites and berries. It’s named after Rebecca Lasenby, Arthur’s mother.
‘Bluebell’ – this print is based on a Liberty archive painting from the 1900’s. Polly said that when they looked at the Liberty digital archive image it didn’t do the painting justice, so they requested to see the original painting. It is a large painting with such beautiful variety in its tonality. The print has decorative bluebells arranged within ogee shaped stylised stems and is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau period.
- The Travels of Arthur Lasenby Liberty
Another theme that runs through the collection is Arthur Liberty’s travels across the globe searching for beautiful goods. Arthur’s wife was pioneering also – she published photographs from her Kodak camera. Many of the designs are based on travels to Japan and their honeymoon in Paris where he bought some beautiful vases. When they returned he sold them in the Liberty store, which incidentally paid for the whole honeymoon!
‘Legs Eleven’ is a really fun print which has detailed fine line illustrations inspired by an extract discovered in Arthur Liberty’s journal ‘The Treasure Hunt’. He describes ‘lovely saffron coloured coral insects’ during his trip on the Orient Express in 1909.
‘Ceremony’ was inspired by an archive painting and was redrawn with a fine outline and subtle shading. An elegant design with graceful trails of roses and blossom.
- Arthur the Man
The designs in this part of the collection are based on his family life. ‘Emma Louise’ is named after his wife and ‘Nottingham’ pays homage to his father, a lace merchant. Intricate detailing gives the impression of lace while the bold colour gives this design a dramatic contemporary edge.
Arthur also loved the opera even working in costume design, sourcing fabrics from Japan which were used in the kimonos for a production of “The Mikado’ by Gilbert & Sullivan. The Liberty Design team studied the exquisite, heavily embroidered, floral overcoats worn in operas of that period giving inspiration for the design ‘Operetta’. This design was painted in gouache in the London design studio.
Arthur liked to treat his staff well and he used to hold a Sports Day for the whole company in Oxfordshire. Many of the conversational prints like ‘Gymkhana’ and ‘Liberty Lido’ in the collection are based on anecdotes and records of these events.
Polly explained that when she first started as a designer at Liberty they used to work up the pattern repeats by hand and hand painted all of the colourways. Today technology coupled with the tradition of hand painting has revolutionised the design process allowing Liberty to be more experimental with colour and design and to carry on innovating, following the core values of our founder – Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty.
We loved our Behind the Scenes at Liberty Fabrics London and hope that you have enjoyed reading about our trip.


I am a visual artist. Bodies on the Line is a visual art project which I started over 10 years ago. It was featured in FRINGE WORLD in 2015 and 2017.
The project featured charcoal drawings of everyday people in Perth. While posing, models often discussed and talked about just about anything that came into their mind. This included religion, politics, philosophy and especially life and the people of Perth. These thoughts were written on the actual paintings by the model and also in notebooks. The notebooks were later made into printed copies. It soon became clear to me that life in Perth had its own flavour. Relationships seemed to be very problematic.
Taking this source of material I decided to write a novel on Perth life. This is where the Judy Dosh series began. It features the lives of a group of imaginary people and their struggles to get on with life and each other.
The characters who are mostly between 20 and 40 include the married, the divorced, as well as those who are still single. There are a number of gay characters.
One relationship is between a Catholic priest (who is in the process of leaving the church) and an atheist.
As Natural as Breathing
A short one act play. This is a play within a play which takes a humorous look at a society where nudity is accepted except for the nose. The nose has become the new genitals. People wear nose bags to hide their noses from the public. We take a look at group of actors on stage who are totally nude except for their nose bags. The conversations between these actors take a look at our own obsession of hiding the genitals and, in the case of women, nipples.

From Maurice Okafor,Enugu
The National Librarian/CEO of National Library of Nigeria,Professor Lenrie Olatotunbo Aina,has disclosed that the the the organisation is gradually embŕacing Virtual library as the alternative to the traditional library system in the country,stating the later will enhance knowledge or information in every published article/books/gazzettes to be read globally.
Professor Aina made the disclosure in a chat with The AUTHORITY ,at the occasion of a two day 2021 Sensitization workshop on legal deposit compliance and demonstration of the newly developed ‘International Standard Serial Number(ISSN) and International Standard Book Number(ISBN),holding in Enugu,from July 22 to Friday,July 23.
He attributed the deplorable state of Nigerian libraries with dearth of books and updated informations to poor leadership.However, he stressed that his organisation is working assiduosly to join the the modern trend of electronic and virtual library imploring internet services.
He disclosed that the Nigeria library services has started taking steps in this direction by developing gazzetting the Federal governments catalogues electronicaly, just as they are doing for Lagos state government currently.
He assured that in no distance time, Nigeria will fully join the league of nations where the system of virtual library is envogue.
His words,”With virtual library,every information you want to know about Nigeria, issues,books,gazzettes will be easily accessed on the internet.We are working seriously with other government agencies to achieve this feat for the best interest of the country”.
Commenting on the purpose of the sensitization workshop on legal deposit compliance and demonstration of the newly developed International Standard Serial Number(ISSN) and International Standard Book Number(ISBN),Professor Aina said the exercise is in tandem with the international community demand for every book published throughout the glibe to have a unique number for identification.
He said the exercise is meant to ensure that two differently published books across the globe must not possess the same number.
He emphasised that the exercise will also help to guard against piracy in some countries like Nigeria,where the menace is rampant.He said even though the National Library of Nigeria is a different organisation from Nigeria Copy Right Commision,in charge of fighting piracy and unauthoried duplication/publication of published materials but the National Library of Nigeria will protect the interest of publishers and authors whose books published wirks have ISSN and ISBN identifications.
The Sensitization which is meant for Publishers,Authors,Researchers,Printers,Librarians,Academia,Government Printers,Book Sellers,etc from the states of Abia,Anambra,Ebonyi and Enugu state,continues today at the Institute of Advanced learning,Achi street,Independence layout,Enugu.
