Roza Eskenazi sang the way she lived, with passion, fire and love. This is the story of three young musicians from Greece, Turkey, and Israel, who embark on an exciting musical journey, to tell the story of Greece’s best known and best loved rebetiko singer for the first time on film. The artists will retrace her steps and perform her songs, as they delve into why Roza’s music is still so relevant to them today.
My Sweet Canary is an exuberant musical and cinematic journey in search of Roza Eskenazi, an artist whose music shaped the soundtrack of the region for almost a century. It’s a journey that will take them from Istanbul to Thessaloniki and to Athens, following the musical trail she left behind. Most of all, it’s a journey into a world that has largely vanished, but whose sounds continue to echo throughout the Mediterranean Basin.

I have been wanting to share these bookmarks Hillary and I made for the baby shower–so fun and easy!
Hillary bought a fat book of pre-cut bookmarks in pretty colors from Michael’s and we measured and cut the map strips with a paper cutter. These are actually Doctors Without Borders maps–very easy to find in thrift stores (though the map possibilities are endless…I just liked the pretty colors of this one).
We affixed the map strips with double-sided tape and glued little compasses on top. I bought about a million of these at the Depot before our wedding, thinking I might use them for favors. Glad to be finally showing them off!
We punched holes at the top to thread a ribbon through.
Hillary typed and trimmed these little banners for the bottom, and they might be my favorite part! The magic of reading has been such a joy in my life from early childhood to my glee-filled trips to the library today. I hope it’s a joy we’ll share with our child. Speaking of reading your way around the world, check out this awesome project–reading one book (or more!) from every country in the world! Who wants to do this with me?! It sounds so amazing.
We gave them a little stamp on the bottom, and they were ready to go!
I really love these compasses, even if they only marginally work.
Here they are, peeking out of the totally rad gift bags Hillary made for the shower. I think there will be more map bookmarking in my future, if only because I forgot to keep one for myself! But it makes me so happy to think of the people who came to the shower, our most beloved friends, using these to keep their place in whatever adventure they’re immersing themselves in.

You are a hero.
You work your tail off every day, put the needs of others ahead of your own, find the highs and fight the lows between each paycheck, do the “other duties as assigned,” put up with the aches and pains and setbacks to make the big sale or deadline or building or deal.
Paparazzi and press don’t mob you at your front door at the end of your day, but your biggest fans do, ready to hug away your cares and heal the hurts inflicted by your daily war with the world.
Your work – with all its challenges, frustrations, and victories – matters.
Your life – with all its stress, complexities, and joy – is precious.
What you do, and who you are, changes the world, one person at a time.
And you are the reason I wrote Heroes, Villains, and Drunk Old Men: A Love Story for Real Life, coming in fall of 2017.
Our culture idolizes the famous, the rich and the successful. What if you were meant to live another story…a better story? That is what Heroes, Villains, and Drunk Old Men will inspire you to do. –Justin Davis // Author, Beyond Ordinary: When a Good Marriage Just Isn’t Good Enough
Filled with my favorite photographs, this book shares the best of everything I’ve learned in the past 25 years about how to bring out the best in people.
It uses humanity’s most potent storytelling model to guide you on your heroic journey at work and home, and avoid becoming the villain in your story.
I’ve packed it with powerful tools and practical advice, including:
Embracing the three-word mindset behind every successful relationship,
Defeating a crucial psychological blind spot and fight the right fight, for the right reasons,
Answering 8 simple questions to keep you on the path of a hero and create more heroes,
Beating burnout with the best piece of photography gear you’ve never heard of, and
Overcoming the fatal one-word flaw at the heart of every villain.
I’ll also introduce you to an inspiring group of formerly drunk old men who have used these techniques to serve and save their corner of the world…even when all hope seemed lost.
And you’ll meet the one true hero who will make your journey worth every step.
Heroes, Villains, and Drunk Old Men is genuine, moving, funny, challenging, and deep. It’s a beautiful reminder reminder that when we step outside our own egos, and begin to truly listen to others, miracles of connection can occur. –Anne Ryder // Emmy-award winning journalist and member of the Indiana Broadcast Hall of Fame

The Elizabethan Renaissance: The Cultural Achievement
What more can I say about this guy who surprised me so much. I am not qualified to review the content of the book and I wouldn’t presume to do so. He is far out of my lowly league as far as knowledge of the age is concerned. However, it is his uncluttered method of writing. He calls a spade a spade and doesn’t care if he offends. His is a vast fund of knowledge which shows how much I don’t know. In this book he speaks of language and literature of the nobility and the peasant, science, architecture, medicine, painting, music and the mind. And, of course, his love of All Souls, Oxford and his veneration of Elizabeth.


The whaleship Essex was based out of Nantucket Massachussetts. On an expedition in 1820, the Essex, commanded by Caption George Pollard Jr, sailed into the far reaches of the south Pacific where it was rammed by a large whale and sunk.
The 20 crewman drifted in the ocean for 90 days (3 or 4 stayed on Henderson Island) in 3 lifeboats, until rescued by other whale ships. Several of the crewmen died while adrift and the who managed to survived resorted to cannibalism to survive.
The story of the Essex was the inspiration for Herman Melville’s epic, “Moby Dick”, which became an American classic after the death of its author.


Released in 1984, Neuromancer is a science fiction novel written by American-Canadian writer William Gibson. The novel is the first of 3 in the Sprawl trilogy which includes Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.
The novel follows the life of Henry Case, a washed up hacker hired for one last job which brings him into contact with a powerful artificial intelligence, Wintermute. The novel is set in a dystopian underwold of Chiba City, Japan. We are introduced to the “matrix”, a virtual reality dataspace, that has its roots in primitive arcade games.
Cyberspace is described as a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts. … A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the ind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.
The 1999 cyberpunk film “The Matrix” draws on concepts from Nueromancer like the usage of the term the “matrix.” The term cyberspace was applied to the Internet and world-wide web during their formations.

William J. Lindsey, D. Min. Author of the Will To Be: Becoming More Than You Are
“It's Time To Uncover Your Original Blueprint is an outstanding book! It was right on time for me with where I'm at on my life journey. I'm a member of the Sistahs Book Club and we read this book and was blessed to discuss it with the author, which was a wonderful experience! Sonyia Graham, thank you homegirl for sharing your labor of love! So much thought was put into this book and it is very easy to read and follow along with the exercises presented. The bible verses are right on time and relatable. It was like this book was written for me because I could relate to so much presented within these pages and I had a LOT of page markers sticking out of the book. It is a wonderful feeling to know that someone else understands and has been/is going through the same experiences that you have. It's also nice to know you're on the "right track" to "discovering/re-discovering the real you & your purpose." As I read this book, I had a little notebook that I wrote notes in, completed the exercises, and answered the quiz questions. Take your time, put the work in as you read this book and you will be pleased with the results. I was reminded of some of the creative things I used to like to do and haven't done in so long. I look forward to doing those things again. Some books I read every year because they are that good and I always get something different from each reading. IT'S TIME TO UNCOVER YOUR ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT by SONYIA GRAHAM is another book that I will be reading every year! I will end with this by the author: The ME Pledge I can serve God and my family while making a contribution to the world. I can do this without losing myself, my dreams, my passions, my visions and my purpose. I can do this because these things are important to me. I will do this because, these are the things that make me, ME. I have no need to assimilate into anyone else's life or dreams. For this is my life, and I was created with my own purpose, and that is enough for ME. - Sonyia Graham”
“Very encouraging, very inspirational. It's a book that I don't want to rush through, too many good jewels. I keep going back to page 18 and saying to myself, Sonyia stop walking up and down my street. It's really been a blessing.”


On December 6th, the German Federal Archive and the online encyclopedia Wikipedia announced their cooperation in making publicly available 100,000 digitized images under Creative Commons licence (CC-BY-SA) in exchange for linking the photos to Wikipediaâ€™s Persondata. A big step for opening up public content and data.
In September 2007 the German Federal Archive already made 113,000 images available on their own online digital archive. In total the Federal Archives keeps approximately 11 million still pictures, aerial photographs and posters from modern German history. The cooperation with Wikipedia is the next big step for the German Federal Archive in opening up the archive, as the vice president of the German Federal Archive Dr. Angelika Menne-Haritz said during the press conference.
The photos are not of the highest resolution, about 800 pixels on the longest side. But, this is an enormous addition to the commons. According to Wikimedia, the repository of free content images, sound and other multimedia files on Wikipedia, the donation by the German Federal Archive of 100,000 images is the single largest one to Wikimedia Commons so far. This is even more than the archival project Flickr Commons makes available now in cooperation with 16 archival partners around the world.
Click here for the image gallery: http://www.bild.bundesarchiv.de/
Creative Commons License
The images by the German Federal Archive are licensed Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 Germany License (CC-BY-SA). This means that you are free to share and remix the images under the condition that you give attribution and spread this with a similar or compatible license. The Federal Archive can do this because they own sufficient rights on the images to be able to grant this kind of license. To use such a free license for archival material is really exciting. Few archives work with Creative Commons licences. One of the rare examples is the McCord Museum and the Brabants Historisch Informatiecentrum. And, the archival project Flickr Commons works with â€œno known copyright restrictionsâ€.
The other part of the cooperation between the German Federal Archive and Wikipedia is a tool for linking people from a list compiled by the Federal Archive to the German Wikipedia Persondata and to the person authority file of the German National Library. Something German Wikipedia has already been doing since 2005. Around 27% of 100,000 photos is already done. The expectation is that because the cooperation is now public, the tempo will speed up. Moreover, the users will add new information to the images. You can find the To Do list here.
Though projectleader Creative Commons Germany, Markus says that this is only a small revolution for German notions, this could very well set an example for other archives to make their content publicly available and therefore grow bigger. It will be very interesting to see where we can find the photos and in which (rich) context. Because that will make a strong argument for archives to experiment with this.


ReSAKSS researcher co-authored book “Public Expenditures for Agricultural and Rural Development in Africa” published
A new book “Public Expenditures for Agricultural and Rural Development in Africa”, written by Samuel Benin, ReSAKSS-Africawide Program Leader at IFPRI, and an IFPRI colleague Tewodaj Mogues, was recently published. Whereas there is plenty of work looking at macroeconomic effects of public spending on growth and poverty in Africa as well as studies of the impact of spending or investment in one economic sector on outcomes in that sector or on broader welfare measures, this book fills a much needed gap in the research looking how the composition of public spending affects key development outcomes in the region.
The book brings together recent analysis on the trends in, and returns to, public spending for agricultural growth and rural development in Africa. Case studies of selected African countries provide insights on the contributions of different types of public expenditures for poverty, growth and welfare outcomes, as well as insights into the constraints in gaining development mileage from investments in the agricultural sector.
– For more information about the book, please go to Routledge website.

is a Venezuelan-American attorney and author of the best- selling books, "The Chávez Code: Cracking US Intervention in Venezuela" (2006 Olive Branch Press) and "Bush vs. Chávez: Washington’s War on Venezuela" (2006). Since 2003, Eva has been investigating, analyzing and writing about US intervention in Venezuela using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain information about the US Government’s efforts over the past few years to destabilize Hugo Chávez’s presidency. Through the FOIA, she has uncovered more than US$50 million in financing to anti-Chávez groups from the U.S. government since 2001 and in October 2004, she obtained top-secret documents from the CIA under the Freedom of Information Act, demonstrating prior knowledge and complicity in the coup. Since then, she has continued to receive more declassified documents under the FOIA and she has published two books in five languages (English, Spanish, French, German and Italian) on the subject of US Intervention in Venezuela, with particular emphasis on use of the National Endowment for Democracy and the USAID to fund opposition activities, penetrate civil society and undermine Venezuela’s democratic revolution.
Ms. Golinger’s work has been covered by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsday, Chicago Tribune, International Herald Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and other major media around the world. She has also appeared on CNN, BBC, PBS, NPR, Australia’s "Dateline", Swedish, French and Greek television, and is a featured analyst on several major documentaries about Venezuela, including "Venezuela Rising" (Nuestra America Productions, 2006). She currently resides in Caracas, Venezuela and writes as a columnist for several national newspapers and hosts a weekly radio program on national Venezuelan radio. She also frequently appears on one of Venezuela’s most popular political programs on television, "la Hojilla". (author’s blog: www.chavezcode.com).
Her main topics of discussion and presentation include:
- US Intervention in Venezuela
- The Bush Administration's Role in the 2002 coup d'etat against President Chavez
- The National Endowment for Democracy and a tool of undermining democracies around the world (How US Taxpayer Dollars are used for Regime Change)
- Media Manipulation and Psychological Warfare
- CIA penetration and actions in Venezuela
- How to use the Freedom of Information Act to Uncover and Denounce US Aggression and Illegal Activities
- The Venezuela Revolution and Social Transformation
- The New Venezuelan Constitution
Eva Golinger has toured France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and parts of the United States, presenting her first book, "The Chávez Code" and informing the international community about the aggressive strategies of the Bush Administration against the Venezuelan people and President Hugo Chávez. She has traveled extensively throughout Venezuela, where she lives, and other parts of Latin America, giving speeches, workshops and presentations on US Intervention in Venezuela and the different strategies the US Government has employed over the years in its continual efforts to oust President Chávez from power. Her first book, "The Chávez Code" won two National Book Awards in Venezuela in 2006 for "Bolivarian Ideology" and "Politics". She also won a National Award for Alternative and Community Media from the Ministry of Communication and Information in Venezuela in 2006 and has received several honors and decorations from different Venezuelan state and municipal governments and military institutions.
A lawyer specializing in international human rights and immigration law, Eva grew up in the United States and moved to Venezuela in the mid-1990s to discover her Venezuelan roots. She lived nearly five years in the Andean city of Mérida, Venezuela, writing, teaching and singing in a band. Golinger studied piano from the age of six and entered into the music department at Sarah Lawrence College in early 1991, majoring in vocal music. But during her university years, she switched her focus to political science and law and became particularly interested in the history of U.S. interventions in Latin America and the role of the CIA in regime change around the world. She earned her Juris Doctorate from the City University of New York Law School and her Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College. Eva Golinger Eva Golinger is founding editor of

Wind, Sand, and Stars, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Yes, the same writer who wrote The Little Prince. He was also a pilot for the Aeropostale (now Air France) in the nineteen-twenties, and wrote three books about his experiences. I had always kind of wondered why there were so few works of literature about flying, since I have found it to be one of the most beautiful and spiritual experiences, and would have expected it to lend itself to literary expression. But most of the books on aviation I have seen have been pretty dry, technical treatments which utterly fail to evoke the wonder and majesty of flight.
Saint-Exupery brings a beautiful, elegant prose along with a unrestrained love for the craft and art of flying together with sensitive insights and philosophy together in a work which almost reads as poetry. Add to it that he writes about a time when aviation was a dangerous trade, which lends a bit of a swashbuckling air, and it truly is a masterpiece. He even (mostly) manages to avoid that lethal trap for pilot-authors by eschewing the jargon and technical minutia of flying, depicting his aircraft more as an organism and partner, and narrating his flying as more a matter of instinct than science. But he does so without demeaning the reader or himself, and gives enough detail to let he aviation junky like myself take pleasure in understanding the inside story.
Saint-Exupery was shot down by the Luftwaffe in 1944 while flying a reconnaissance mission over the Med.

THE FISH THAT CHANGED AMERICA
Regardless of whether you’re a serious fisherman, only an occasional weekend angler, or someone who simply enjoys reading about the sport, you’re sure to enjoy Steve’s latest book, “The Fish That Changed America.” It’s an oral history of how bass fishing changed from a quiet pastime to a $100 billion worldwide business, told by the very people who created that change.
Divided into seven separate categories, such as Lures, Boats, Lakes, and the Business of Bass Fishing, Steve lets men like Trig Lund, the last surviving member of the original Heddon Company staff, Bill Lewis, designer of the iconic Rat-L-Trap fishing lure, Jack Wingate, an early fishing camp owner on Lake Seminole, and Paul Allison, who cupped the first outboard propeller, tell their own stories. Virgil Ward, Dee Thomas, Bill Dance, Forrest Wood, and Tom Mann are also among those included.
With each category, Steve also includes complete background of that particular topic, detailing, for example, how the Corps of Engineers began constructing the dams that formed today’s bass lakes, how Ole Evinrude started his famous outboard engine company, and how Johnny Morris created the first superstore of bass fishing, Bass Pro Shops.
“Price, a Hall of Fame journalist, is the perfect author for this book; he’s witnessed much of the evolution as a Bassmaster Senior Writer and topnotch bass writer for decades.” — South Bend (Indiana) Tribune
“A compelling read. It brings history to life through the unique firsthand accounts of the men who shaped the amazing growth of a great American sport. I couldn’t put it down, and neither will you.” —Ray Scott, founder of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society
“The Fish That Changed America” is not a book about tournament bass fishing. Rather, Steve takes a wider view of the entire sport and shows how different facets of bass fishing meshed together perfectly at the same time, leading to the state of the industry today. It’s a book you’ll be proud to own, and will read again and again, because many of the stories Steve describes – all of them true – will never happen again.
A standing room-only funeral for a bass? It’s here. A national bass fishing magazine that started in a pickle box? A television infomercial that changed how fishing is marketed? An angler who won one million dollars in a single tournament? The man who fished with George Perry the day he caught his world record bass? They’re all here, told by the individuals who lived them.
“An incredible collection of stories from the people who were instrumental in building the sport of bass fishing. I absolutely loved it!” —Shaw Grigsby, professional angler


At the moment I mostly interested in British songs that became popular in Germany during the 19th century. There were five of them that seem to have been particularly widespread. We can find them - as "Volkslieder" - in numerous songbooks of all kinds, with different sets of German words and also sometimes with different tunes. There was "Robin Adair" - I have already written at length about it (see my text on JustAnotherTune
) -, Robert Burns' "My Heart's In The Highlands" - see a couple of texts in this blog
-, "Long, Long Ago" (see now the text on JustAnotherTune
), "Home, Sweet Home" and - perhaps the most successful of them all - Thomas Moore's "'Tis The Last Rose Of Summer".
A look into Hofmeisters Monatsberichte
(via Hofmeister XIX
) shows that German versions of the latter - usually called "Irisches Volkslied" - with titles like "Letzte Rose" or "Des Sommers letzte Rose" were published numerous times as sheet music since the late 1840s. A nice early example is an edition by Schott from c. 1849 (available at the Internet Archive
But it also appeared in many songbooks, for example in a choral arrangement in Ludwig Stark's Stimmen der Heimat
(1868, here No. 19, pp. 34-5
in the 2nd edition, 1878), with piano accompaniment in Ludwig Erk's Volkslieder-Album
(1872, No. 43, p. 43
) as well as in song collections for schools like Volckmar's & Zanger's Deutsche [sic!] Lieder für Schule, Haus und Leben
(1880, Heft 3, No. 88, pp. 87-8
) or Liederbuch für preußische Volkschulen
(5th ed., 1882, No. 60, p. 36
, all at the Internet Archive).
In fact in 1899 it was noted that "today even the farmhand and the peasant girl knows" this song (Fleischer 1899, p. 6
, at the Internet Archive). How and when did "The Last Rose of Summer" migrate to Germany? That was a longer, somehow complex process that took some time. In this case it needed three attempts before it became established as a standard.
Moore's song was first published in 1813 in the 5th Number of his Selection of Irish Melodies
, at the Internet Archive):
'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping, go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow, when friendships decay,
And from Love's shining circle the gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered, and fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
In Britain it was surely the "most well-known" song of this collection (see Scott 2001, Ch. 1c, at The Victorian Web
). But Thomas Moore became also very popular in Germany early on - unlike Burns who was only rediscovered since the mid-30s - and therefore tune and text of "The Last Rose of Summer" found its way here very quickly.
Beethoven wrote variations (Six Themes Varies, op. 105, 1819, No. 4
, at Beethoven-Haus, Bonn) but for some reason here it was called Air Ecossais
, "Scottish tune". Translations were also published, for example by Friedrich Johann Jacobsen in 1820 in his influentual Briefe an eine deutsche Edelfrau über die neuesten englischen Dichter
) and by an unknown author in Iris. Unterhaltungsblatt für Kunst, Literatur und Poesie
(No. 69, 1.9.1822, p. 269
). Another translation by Sophie Gräfin von Steinhardt was set to music by composer Emilie Zumsteeg in 1829 (in 6 Lieder mit Pianoforte, op. 5, see Hofmeister, September, October 1929, p. 83
and the text at LiederNet
But it took more than two decades before it was adapted as a "Volkslied", at first by Friedrich Silcher in his Ausländische Volksmelodien
in 1835 ("Des Sommers letzte Rose", in: Heft 1, No. 2, p. 3
at the university in Tübingen and one of the most successful promoters of the "Volkslied"-genre, was fascinated with songs from other countries and his collection with altogether 41 pieces in four booklets first published between 1835 and 1841 seems to have been particularly popular. It was reprinted and republished several times (see for example a later edition, ca. 1870, at the Internet Archive
; see also Bopp 1915, p. 101-104).
The text used here by Silcher was written by his friend Hermann Kurtz, a Swabian poet and a relative of his wife who supplied him with more translations - not only of Moore's works - for this project. It was then also published the following year in Kurtz's own collection Gedichte
(Stuttgart 1836, p. 199
, at the Internet Archive):
Des Sommers letzte Rose blüht hier noch allein:
Verwelkt sind der Gespielen holdlächelnde Reih’n.
Ach es blieb keine Schwester, keine Knospe zurück,
Mit erwiederndem Seufzer, mit erröthendem Blick.
Ich will nicht, Verlassne, so einsam dich seh’n:
Wo die Lieblichen schlummern, darfst auch du schlafen geh’n.
Und freundlich zerstreu’ ich deine Blätter über’s Beet,
Wo die Düfte, wo die Blätter deiner Lieben sind verweht.
So schnell möcht’ ich folgen, wenn Freundschaft sich trübt,
Und der Kranz süsser Liebe seine Perlen verstiebt.
Wenn Theure verschwinden, manch treues Herz zerfällt,
Wer möcht’ allein bewohnen diese nächtliche Welt?
In 1837 famous English soprano Clara Novello came to Germany and performed here with great success. A part of her repertoire were English, Scottish and Irish National Airs
- what was called "Volkslieder" in Germany - and those were especially popular with her audiences (see f. ex. AMZ 40, 17.1.1838, p. 49
, NZM 8, 27.2.1838, pp. 66-68
, NZM 8, 19.1.1838, p. 24
). She also sang "'Tis The Last Rose of Summer" and it was published as sheet music together with other songs of this type she had performed:
- No. 1: Die Letzte Rose, in: Irische Volkslieder, gesungen von Miss Clara Novello, und ihr verehrungsvoll gewidmet, Wunder, Leipzig, n. d. (see Hofmeister XIX, März 1838, p. 46)
It is not clear if she sang it in German or in English but in this publication another German translation - different from the one by Kurtz - was used:
Letzte Rose, die einsam im Sommer noch glüht,
Deine duftenden Schwestern sind alle verblüht.
Kein Knöspchen mehr strahlet den glühenden Blick,
Keine Blüthe hauchzt Seufzer um Seufzer zurück. [...]
Publisher Schlesinger from Berlin followed suit and also offered his own editions of sheet music of her repertoire (see Hofmeister, Dezember 1838, p. 188
, Februar, März 1839, p. 30
At this time two different versions of "The Last Rose of Summer" were available on the German market. But for some reason they didn't inspire more reprints. I haven't found any other sheet music editions of this "Volkslied" for the next 10 years. And much to my surprise it wasn't included in any songbooks from this era even though Silcher's work used to be plundered - much to his chagrin - by rival publishers and editors. In fact it took a decade until its real breakthrough and then only because it was part of a highly successful opera.
In 1847 another German version of Moore's song was used by composer Friedrich von Flotow in Martha oder Der Markt zu Richmond
(see the short overview in Wikipedia
), here with a new translation by his librettist Friedrich Wilhelm Riese as well as some minor but characteristic melodic variations (2. Akt, No. 9, here p. 121
in a piano score, Cranz, Leipzig, n. d., at the Internet Archive):
Letzte Rose, wie magst du so einsam hier blühn?
Deine freundlichen Schwestern sind längst, schon längst dahin.
Keine Blüte haucht Balsam mit labendem, labendem Duft,
Keine Blätter mehr flattern in stürmischer Luft.
Warum blühst du so traurig im Garten allein?
Sollst im Tod mit den Schwestern, mit den Schwestern vereinigt sein.
Drum pflück ich, o Rose vom Stamme, vom Stamme dich ab,
Sollst ruhen mir am Herzen und mit mir, ja mit mir im Grab.
The opera was set in 18th century England. Of course the song in this form didn't exist at that time. But a National Air
or "Volkslied" in an opera was surely a good idea. 20 years ago "Robin Adair" had become immensely popular in Germany mostly because of its inclusion in Boieldieu's La Dame Blanche
. And here this idea also paid off. Flotow's version of "The Last Rose of Summer" became a great hit. The original publisher, Müller in Vienna, tried to squeeze out as much revenue as possible from this success. We find the song published again in sheet music editions like Sechs Lieblingsmelodien aus der Oper Martha. Für eine Singstimme mit Guitarrebegleitung
(1848, No. 2, p. 4, at ÖNB, Wien, MS87148-4°
). Other publishers of course also jumped on the bandwagon. I have already mentioned Schott's edition. Here are two by Aibl in München:
- Erato. Auswahl beliebter Gesänge mit leichter Begleitung der Guitarre. No. 1: Letzte Rose. Irländisches Volkslied, Aibl, München, 1850 (available at BStB, 2 Mus.pr. 1726-1/30 & the Internet Archive)
- Aurora. Sammlung auserlesener Gesänge mit Begleitung des Pianoforte. No. 1, Irländisches Volkslied: Letzte Rose, Aibl, München, 1851 (available at BStB, 2 Mus.pr. 1717-1/25)
The song remained on the market until the end of the century and a great number of sheet music editions were made available. After Flotow's success "Die Letzte Rose" also appeared in songbooks, at first apparently in Thomas Täglichsbeck's Buch der Lieder
(1851, Bd. 2, No. 92, p. 108
, at the Internet Archive). Interestingly this was not the version from Martha
but a different translation. The very first songbook for the use in schools with this song may have been the Liedersammlung für die Schule
by Weeber & Krauß in 1852 (Heft 3, No. 33, p. 29
, here in the 3rd ed., 1854). They used still another translation.
In later years Flotow's version seems to have been the one published most often in books (see the list at DeutschesLied.com
), although Silcher's was also used occasionally. The song became part of the repertoire of Männergesangvereine
, was included in numerous collections of "Volkslieder" and not at least until the 1920s apparently nearly every child sang it in school.

Top 5 Reasons Why eBooks are Better than Printed Documents
Even with the rising popularity of eBooks and mobile eReading apps, many readers find it difficult to chose between printed documents and eBooks. Some people might still prefer the tactile feel of traditional printed books and other documents, eBooks do have some distinct benefits and offer a wide range of features that print cannot. While printed documents are not going away anytime soon, there are a number of cases in which eBooks provide great advantages to readers over traditional paper media. Businesses have looked to offer such benefits to their customers and business partners.
Companies from across the globe have displayed a keen interest in outsourcing ebook conversion services to the leading service provider companies. Outsourcing allows business organizations in successfully converting their business documents, product catalogs, journals, periodicals, etc. into eBook formats. Such converted eBook files can then be easily shared to thousands of intended audience based in any part of the world. When companies share their product catalogs with the target audience, it turns out to be a highly rewarding marketing strategy.
5 Ways In Which eBooks Offer More Advantages Than Print
1) eBooks Are Highly Portable As Compared To Print
Printed books, especially, hard copy editions can be extremely heavy and may cause several issues when a user wishes to carry them around. Ebook outsourcing companies can convert such hefty documents into eBooks which can be easily accessed via smartphones or eReading devices. Such digital devices are quite light in weight and, therefore, can be easily carried from one place to another. An individual can carry an entire library in his pocket.
2) eReaders Have Built-In Dictionaries
While reading any text we all come across words which we don’t know or might have read before but don’t the meaning of. It can often be a frustrating situation and can hamper the reading experience. We all have to find a heavy physical dictionary or use google to search it up. Most contemporary eReaders have built-in dictionaries that allow the readers to look up for the meaning of words by just tapping on any word. The meaning or definition of the word would appear right on the screen without the reader even having to leave the app.
3) eBooks Take A Lot Less Space
Readers are known to collect a lot of books. They constantly buy books, magazines, catalogs, etc. to satisfy their reading urges. Soon the avid readers are left with a lot of heavy books and documents which often take a lot of storing space and require special attention. eBooks solve this problem as they do not take any physical space. They are much easier to store and do not undergo deterioration over the course of time.
4) Font Size & Style Are Can Be Easily Customized
We all have come across printed documents which had a very small font size and demanded extra efforts from us to read them. In other cases, the font style would not appeal much to the likes and tastes of the readers. All such reading issues and concerns can be avoided with the use of eBooks. They offer a variety of font sizes and styles which can be easily chosen by the readers as per their convenience.
5) eBooks Are Good For The Environment
Last but not the least, eBooks can be great for the environment as they help to save trees. Printed documents are made from paper, which is obtained from both dead and living trees. In this era of rapid digitization, it is the best idea to go paperless and save the environment one eBook at a time.


The Department of National Defence's information management approach:
DND guide tells military how to censor recordsRelated:
OTTAWA, Apr 29 (Globe and Mail) - The Department of National Defence has produced a guide instructing the military how to justify its arguments for censoring records requested by the public and journalists.
The Guide on Protection of Operational Security Information was distributed in January across the Forces and National Defence, a department in a constant struggle with journalists over how much should be made public about the war Canada is fighting in Afghanistan.
The guide lays out myriad ways that the federal law allowing censorship of government documents, the Access to Information Act, can be used to withhold information.
Examples include the excuse that records "would offend other nations or citizens of foreign countries" or identify "deficiencies in Canada's ability to defend against a threat."
The guide explains how even innocuous information can be withheld on the grounds its release would help piece together a larger picture of military operations, producing what it calls a "mosaic effect" that causes harm to Canada.
The Canadian Forces has often cited "operational security" when making its case for the censorship of records to the Access to Information directorate at National Defence, an office that functions as a chief information gatekeeper for public document requests.
But there's no definition of "operational security" in the Access to Information Act. ... (link)

By Ryan Gierach, West Hollywood, California
Anyone who wants to understand how Los Angeles and West Hollywood led the modern American gay movement really needs to hear this talk.
On Friday evening, August 1, Stephen Hoeller, one of Los Angeles’ most remarkable spiritual thinkers and teachers, will be presenting a lecture on Gerald Heard (1889-1971).
Heard was a gay man whose writings (many articles and over 35 books) widely influenced people and his spiritual and scientific lectures filled auditoriums here in Los Angeles in the 1950’s’ and 1960’s.
The title of Dr. Hoeller’s lecture will be “Gerald Heard, the Modern Unknown Philosopher: Philosopher, Psychopomp, Pioneer of Altered Consciousness, A Remarkable Man.”
According to West Hollywood’s Don Kilhefner, “Heard was the BBC commentator on science who moved to Los Angeles in 1942 with Aldous Huxley.
“Here he mentored both Huxley and Christopher Isherwood in philosophy and spirituality, introducing Isherwood to the Ramakrishna Vedanta Temple in Hollywood,’ said Kilhefner.
“He lectured several times at ONE, Inc., and wrote for its homophile publications under the name D.B. Vest (DB=Double Breasted).
“As far as I have been able to discover so far, Heard is the first person to talk about homosexuality within the context of evolutionary biology until E.O. Wilson picked up the theme in his 1978 Pulitzer prize-winning On Human Nature.
Wilson wrote in that book, “…homosexuals may be the rare carriers of the altruistic impulse in the human species.”
Called by many the “Grandfather of the New Age Movement,” Gerald Heard’s writings affected many younger writers and thinkers.
In 1945 Huston Smith was at Berkeley working on his Ph. D. when he stumbled upon the work of Gerald Heard, a British writer and philosopher—a man who would later be called “the grandfather of the New Age movement,” wrote Don Lattin for a feature in the Cal Alumni Association UC Berkeley site.
Running across a Heard tome called Pain, Sex and Time—A New Outlook on Evolution and the Future of Man, he spent the night reading it, and as he relates in his Foreword to the Heard classic’s 2004 edition, “When dawn broke I was living in the new world that has housed me ever since.
“Overnight that book converted me from the scientific worldview to the vaster world of the mystics. I was taken by Heard’s idea that we were on the cusp of an evolutionary advance—that the tide of evolution would allow mankind to merge with God’s infinite consciousness.”
On that basis, that humanity had the potential for a breakthrough in consciousness, Heard and Huxley founded the Trabuco College of Prayer, creating a “club for mystics” that profoundly influenced several architects of the new American spirituality.
Expanding human potential was the guiding principle behind Trabuco College of Prayer.
Harry Hay, who with Don Kilhefner co-founded the Radical Faeries, a group redefining queer consciousness through spirituality. took what Heard had to say to heart and applied it to gays, lesbians and transgenders as part of the Radical Faerie movement.
Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous was a member; so too Michael Murphy, who based his Esalen Institute at Big Sur on the model, and which gave way to the American secular spiritualist movement.
Kilhefner urged attendance at the talk, saying, “I am always surprised when gay people say they never heard of Heard, who is an important voice in gay intellectual history and played a significant role in the spiritual history of Los Angeles after World War II.”
Our movement’s modern pioneers are in the end of life time or past it, and Kilhefner notes directly, “Heard is one of your Los Angeles gay ancestors that I respectfully suggest you need to know something about.”

I'm finally doing another Top Ten Tuesday (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish). Sorry it's been so long, but life just got crazy and there were a few topics on which I was a bit uninspired. Also, sorry for posting this one day late. Yesterday was a rush and I forgot to go on and push "Publish". Yep, it was that kind of day. Anyway, this week's topic is underrated books or authors from any genre. I am honestly not great with dividing books into genres, so I'm just listing books and authors that I like, but that I find many people have never heard of:
1. David Bezmozgis: I found his book of short stories, Natasha and Other Stories, at the library by serendipity and enjoyed it. I ordered his first novel, The Free World, as soon as it came out. As a russophile and a Torontonian, there is so much in his work that I find interesting.
2. Connie Willis: I've posted about her books a few times before, but I can't believe she's not that well known. For those who like time travel, she's a must-read.
3. Octavia E. Butler: Again, I've mentioned her before, but she's awesome, and her dystopian work is leaps and bounds over most of the dystopian fiction being published now.
4. Elizabeth Gaskell: North and South is similar in many ways to Pride and Prejudice, yet has nowhere near the fan base of Austen. Maybe it's because there are too many smokestacks and not enough turns around the garden?
5. Francisco Goldman: When I was in high school, I had a gift certificate to spend at a big book store, and I recall spending at least an hour scouring the shelves to pick *just* the book that I would get. For some reason, I came away with Goldman's The Long Night of White Chickens, possibly for the title alone. I loved it and have enjoyed other work by him, but I've never met anyone who had even heard of him.
6. Yevgeny Zamyatin: Okay, speaking honestly, I never finished We, probably because I started in grad school when I was already having to read hundreds of pages a week, BUT it's an important novel. Brave New World and 1984 get all the credit for the dystopian genre, and Zamyatin's influence is sadly overlooked even though he predated Huxley and Orwell. I do plan on picking it up again one of these days.
And a few underrated books:
7. The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith: I love this book and probably read it a dozen times as a child, but invariably people tell me they never knew the movie was based on a book. Folks, the book is so much better. Read it.
8. A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra: I thought this was fabulous, but have never met anyone that has heard of it.
9. Dracula by Bram Stoker: Okay, not really underrated as everyone knows about it, but I've been surprised at people who say things like, "Why not just read Twilight?" Dracula isn't just another vampire novel; it is THE vampire novel.


Book Review: Lend Me Your Ears: All you need to know about making speeches and presentations by Max Atkinson
Delivering effective presentations is such a crucial task for many business owners and professionals. Yet, as Professor Max Atkinson argues in this though-provoking and highly useful book, the industry-standard, PowerPoint list model that many presenters now follow is almost guaranteed to send your audience to sleep.
Drawing on extensive research and over 30 years’ experience in the field, as well as classical theory, Atkinson explains the unique factors that make public speaking different from any other kind of communication – and how you can deal with them effectively.
Covering everything from sentence structure and word choice to eye contact, visual aids and body language, this comprehensive guide lives up to its subtitle’s billing as “all you need to know about making speeches and presentations”.
Yet, with the book clearly structured into particular sections and subsections, it’s easy to pick out the key points and tips without getting bogged down in the often detailed explanations of the reasoning.
At times some of the advice seems more dated than the 2004 publication date would suggest (and I doubt many readers need concern themselves too much with the practicalities of acetate slides!). However, there are some useful tips on effectively using PowerPoint, which remains the default choice for most speakers these days.
In any case, the vast majority of the techniques in the book are pretty timeless. Indeed, one of the most interesting and useful sections is on rhetorical devices – which have been written about since ancient times. Here they are well explained in simple language, with tips that can easily be replicated in the reader’s own speeches.
And as with almost every recommendation in the book, they come with plentiful examples from well-known speakers, which often liven up the text as well as demonstrating the point.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given Atkinson’s background as a long-time adviser to Paddy Ashdown, these are primarily from the world of politics, but there is also a specific section of the book dedicated to how these techniques can be applied in a business context – and this is also filled with real-life examples.
Meanwhile, the end of every chapter features a handy recap followed by a series of exercises to help readers better understand and put into practice the ideas discussed.
This, combined with a wealth of well-researched and clearly explained content, makes Lend Me Your Ears an incredibly useful learning tool, and reference guide, for anyone looking to deliver more effective presentations.
If you’re looking for more help to improve your presentations or speaking skills, our friends at the College of Public Speaking offer a wide range of helpful public speaking courses in London.
These include the popular Fear of Public Speaking courses and professional Train the Trainer courses, which lead to a widely recognised BTEC qualification.

Friendly Aid Celebrates 110 Years of Service
For 110 years, Wellesley Friendly Aid has been there for residents in times of need. Among the services we offer are: loaning medical equipment for free, providing camp scholarships, helping with emergency and hardship expenditures, creating social activities for the elderly, and supporting first-generation high school students through the college application process.
On Sunday, October 20, 2019, Friendly Aid celebrated a century plus of care and concern at the Wellesley Free Library. The event was jointly sponsored with Wellesley Free Library and the Wellesley Historical Society. Celebrants went back in time to 1909 with refreshments, music, photographs, and children’s games from the early 1900s. There was also a presentation by Wellesley native Tory DeFazio about life in Wellesley at that time.


Never lose hope (Caribou song)
In the autumn of 2000, after one year of studying physics, I lost motivation to continue and decided to study geography instead. But since academic year had already begun, I had to wait until next October. In the meantime I was free to do whatever I wanted, but that proved to be harder than I expected.
The major part of my identity of that time was being a student, and getting good grades was something that I was proud of. So, all of a sudden I was left without that. At the same time I was miserably unsuccessful in just about any other area of my life. I remember that I was in love with one girl I knew from high school, but she didn’t have any interest in me, though she was very friendly.
Because of all these things I became sort of depressed and felt like a complete failure. This culminated in me writing a poem that expressed how I felt at that time. Since that was in the winter of 2000/01, the imagery is a bit “snowy”:
* * *
The Call For Green Grass
For a few hours it dawns – yet there is no sun.
Silent clouds of horror begin to scatter
White crystals of despair again.
White. Everything is white.
Lost caribou trips on white snow in vain.
In the whiteness of the distance there appears a string of dark little dots…
* * *
The informal title of this poem is “Caribou song”, which was the name of the file on my computer in which I saved it. I had a few other poetic attempts in my life (until I discovered that I have no particular talent for poetry). This poem is by far the best of anyone I ever wrote. Because it came from within and because I was honest.
If you look at the end you see that it is deliberately open. What do the dark little dots represent? Could be anything. Maybe it is a pack of wolves, but could also be the herd of the lost caribou. The future is unknown. But for as long as you are alive there is still hope for you.
*Here is actually my 2011 English translation. The original poem in Slovene language can be found here.

The indomitable spirit of animals often shines through in the face of adversity, and one such tale is that of a brave puppy who faced the loss of his mother due to a devastating natural disaster. This heartwrenching journey, filled with sorrow and eventual hope, showcases the remarkable resilience and ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
Amid the chaos of a natural disaster, a young puppy found himself orphaned and alone after losing his mother. The circumstances were dire, and the odds of survival seemed insurmountable. Separated from the comforting presence of his nurturing mother, the pup was faced with a daunting challenge that no young creature should have to endure.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the young puppy’s innate survival instincts kicked in. Fueled by an unyielding spirit, he embarked on a journey to find food, water, and shelter. Alone and vulnerable, he braved the aftermath of the disaster, navigating through debris and uncertainty in search of a safe haven.
In the midst of the puppy’s struggle, a glimmer of hope appeared in the form of a compassionate individual who happened upon the brave pup. Moved by his plight, they extended a helping hand, offering nourishment, warmth, and a newfound sense of security. The puppy’s eyes, once filled with sorrow, now held a spark of trust and gratitude.
With the support of his newfound protector, the puppy slowly began to heal from the trauma of losing his mother. Day by day, his strength grew, and he adapted to his new reality. The resilience he displayed was a testament to the incredible ability of animals to find light even in the darkest moments.
As time passed, the puppy’s connection with his caregiver deepened. Their bond, forged in the aftermath of tragedy, became a source of strength and companionship for both. The puppy’s journey from a helpless orphan to a confident and loving companion was a tribute to the healing power of love and compassion.
The story of the puppy who lost his mother in a natural disaster serves as a reminder of the far-reaching impact of such events on the lives of both humans and animals. It encourages us to be proactive in disaster preparedness and to extend a helping hand to those affected by such tragedies, including the innocent animals who rely on us for their well-being.
The tale of the puppy who endured the loss of his mother in the wake of a natural disaster is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and hope. Through adversity, he found the strength to overcome, the power of companionship, and the transformative impact of compassion. His journey exemplifies the unwavering spirit of animals and serves as an inspiration to stand together in times of crisis, supporting one another and fostering a world of empathy and understanding.

Islam spread from the Middle East to take hold across North Africa during the second half of the 7th century CE when the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750 CE) of Damascus conquered that area by military force.
As many you asked, how did Islam come into North Africa? According to Arab oral tradition, Islam first came to Africa with Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in the Arab peninsula. This was followed by a military invasion, some seven years after the death of the prophet Mohammed in 639, under the command of the Muslim Arab General, Amr ibn al-Asi.
Frequent question, when was Islam introduced to Africa? The presence of Islam in Africa can be traced to the 7th century CE, when in Rajab 8 BH, or May 614 CE, Muhammad advised a number of his early disciples, who were facing persecution by the polytheistic inhabitants of the Mecca, to seek refuge across the Red Sea in Axum.
You asked, how did Islam came to West Africa? Islam first came to West Africa as a slow and peaceful process, spread by Muslim traders and scholars. The early journeys across the Sahara were done in stages. Goods passed through chains of Muslim traders, purchased, finally, by local non-Muslims at the southern most end of the route.
Correspondingly, who brought Islam to Nigeria and what year? Islam first entered Nigeria through Borno in the northeast in the 11th century. Its dissemination was essentially a peaceful process, mediated by Muslim clerics and traders, until the Fulani jihad of 1804, organized by Usman dan Fodio.Christianity came first to the continent of Africa in the 1st or early 2nd century AD. Oral tradition says the first Muslims appeared while the prophet Mohammed was still alive (he died in 632). Thus both religions have been on the continent of Africa for over 1,300 years.
How did Islam come to East Africa?
Multiple Trajectories of Islam in Africa Between the eighth and ninth centuries, Arab traders and travelers, then African clerics, began to spread the religion along the eastern coast of Africa and to the western and central Sudan (literally, “Land of Black people”), stimulating the development of urban communities.
How did Islam affect Africa?
Islam promoted trade between West Africa and the Mediterranean. The religion developed and widened the trans-Saharan Caravan trade. The trade enriched the West African and the Muslim traders. Muslims from North Africa came in their numbers and settled in the commercial centres.
Who first brought Islam to West Africa?
OVERVIEW: – Islam arrived in sub-Saharan West Africa as early as the 8th century, travelling with Arab traders from North Africa. The Muslim merchants brought trade and goods to exchange for gold and facilitated trade by introducing concepts such as contract law and credit arrangements.
What happened to religion in West Africa when Islam was first introduced?
What happened to religion in West Africa when Islam was first introduced? West Africans remained faithful to their original religions. Islam quickly became the leading religion of the region. West Africans were resistant to Islam’s new ideas and ignored the religion.
How did Islam came in to Borno?
Islam was brought to Kanem Borno by the Muslim nomads, Berber teachers and traders through the famous trans-Saharan trade routes. Islam as the religion of literary, knowledge and education, its spread, and propagation was possible only through teaching and learning process.
When did Islam come to Yoruba land?
Yorubas came in contact with Islam around the 14th century during the reign of Mansa Kankan Musa of the Mali Empire.
Who introduced Islam to Kano?
Most historical sources agree that Islam was introduced into Kano state after the death of the Prophet Mohammed (peace and prayer be upon him), in the era of the companions, and specifically during the reign of Caliph Uthman ibn Affan (23-35 H/643-655) (may Allah be pleased with him), who sent forces under the command …
What was the religion in Africa before Islam?
Polytheism was widespreaded in most of ancient African and other regions of the world, before the introduction of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. An exception was the short-lived monotheistic religion created by Pharaoh Akhenaten, who made it mandatory to pray to his personal god Aton (see Atenism).
When was Islam founded?
The start of Islam is marked in the year 610, following the first revelation to the prophet Muhammad at the age of 40. Muhammad and his followers spread the teachings of Islam throughout the Arabian peninsula.
Which is oldest religion in world?
The word Hindu is an exonym, and while Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma (Sanskrit: सनातन धर्म, lit.

Wolff Architects / South Africa INKWENKWEZI SECONDARY SCHOOL, WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA, 2007 The school complex is the first secondary school in a township where 80% of the residents have had less than ten years of schooling. The building therefore had to present a good alternative to the street. The school consists of a sequence of white-plastered buildings circling and sheltering two inner courtyards. The area has suffered much from violence and vandalism, and the entranceway to the school faces a quiet cul- de-sac where the children can arrive in safety. The school is mainly distributed over two floors, but in several places a triangular sculptural form protrudes from the building and reveals where the library and sports hall are situated, for example. The name of the school, Inkwenkwezi, means Morning Star, and a large yellow star therefore graces the front.
