You don’t need lower prices, more incentives, or more advertising, and you don’t need more traffic to sell new homes in this market. You just need to do more with the traffic you have. This massive 514 page book, Why People Don't Buy New Homes, written by Steve Weston, a refreshingly different approach to selling new homes that is simple, easy to learn, and overwhelmingly effective. This different selling method has, in fact, been used by the author for over 23 years to sell the most challenging homes, in the worst markets, under the most difficult of circumstances. Best of all, this selling technique is geared towards overcoming exactly the issues the new home sales market is experiencing today. This selling method is a shift away from a “product-oriented” sales approach to one that is “buyer-oriented”.
After a brief explanation of the forces acting on the buyer’s attitudes, the author lays bare the main cause of buyer resistance. Once identified, explicit, real-world dialogues completely and unequivocally demonstrate the ease and power of the application of elementary psychology to harnessing, then redirecting, and finally eliminating the negativity and resistance in today’s new home buyers.
This is book that will be uncomfortable for many people to read. This is a book that will challenge your core beliefs about why people buy new homes and why they don’t buy new homes.
This book is radically different, unlike any book ever written in the new home field that will cause salespeople and management to carefully re-assess their sales approach, advertising, lenders, and their sales methods. At the same time, this book demonstrates a more gentle, and personable approach to the treatment of buyers. The techniques demonstrated, are based on a better understanding of the forces acting on the buyers. Once these forces impacting the buyers are fully understood, new approaches to advertising, lenders, and sales techniques will naturally follow. The outstanding sales of this book, re-orders, and raving e-mails, phone calls, and letters from excited salespeople, sales managers, and CEO’s validate the ideas. The bottom line is simply this: THE IDEAS IN THIS BOOK WORK.

Charles Spurgeon on Ephesians 1:7
Preparing to preach I often read a sermon on the same text by a preacher from history. It helps me to see how someone in a different era read the same passage and communicated its truth. This week, my reading included sermon #1555 by Charles Spurgeon, “The Glories of Forgiving Grace”. I compiled a few highlights from it, especially with our church people in mind, as they prepare to receive the Word from Ephesians 1:7 this Sunday. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace… (Ephesians 1:7, ESV) Should I take the wings of the morning and fly unto the uttermost parts of the sea, unless I could escape from mine own self, even there would sin follow me, and its hand would smite me to my sore wounding. Nothing can be more practical than the doctrine which deals with sin and its removal, and no news can be more pleasant than the tidings of remission. Observe,...


Tiré de : Floridi, Luciano. The philosophy of information (Oxford [England]; New York: Oxford University Press, 2011).
Ces Notes de lectures citent et commentent le texte dans sa langue originelle, ici l’anglais.
Good problem / Open problem / Reseach Method
« Good problems are the driving force of any intellectual pursuit. Being able to do valuable research hugely depends on having good taste in choosing them. Now, for Hilbert, a good problem is a problem rich in consequences, clearly defined, easy to understand and difficult to solve, but still accessible. Again, it is worth learning the lesson, with a further qualification. We saw in chapter one that genuine philosophical problems should also be intrinsically open, that is, they should allow for genuine, reasonable, informed differences of opinion. Open problems call for explicit solutions, (p. 29 ) which facilitate a critical approach and hence empower the interlocutor. »
Floridi (2011) p. 28-29
Good problem / Reseach Method
« Hilbert thought that mathematical research has a historical nature and that mathematical problems often have their initial roots in historical circumstances, in the ‘ever-recurring interplay between thought and experience’. Philosophical problems are no exception. Like mathematical problems, they are not contingent but timely. »
Floridi (2011) p. 28
Solution / Explicitness / Rigor / Research Method
The more explicit and rigorous a solution is, the more easily it is criticizable. Logic is only apparently brusque. Its advice is as blunt as that of a good friend. The real trap is the false friendliness of sloppy thinking and obscure oracles. Their alluring rhetoric undermines the very possibility of disagreement, lulling the readers’ reason to sleep.
Floridi (2011) p. 28
Information / Epistemology
« The informational circle: How can information be assessed? If information cannot be transcended but can only be checked against further information—if it is information all the way up and all the way down—what does this tell us about our knowledge of the world?
The informational circle is reminiscent of the hermeneutical circle. It underpins the modern debate on the foundation of epistemology and the acceptability of some form of realism in the philosophy of science, according to which our information about the world captures something of the way the world is (Floridi (1996)). »
Floridi (2011) p. 40
Information / Epistemology / Model / Information Modelling / Reseach Method
« The semantic view of science: Is science reducible to information modelling?
The semantic approach to scientific theories (…), argues that
scientific reasoning is to a large extent model-based reasoning. It is models almost all the way up and models almost all the way down. (Giere (1999), p. 56).
Theories do not make contact with phenomena directly, but rather higher models are brought into contact with other, lower models (see chapter nine). These are themselves theoretical conceptualizations of empirical systems, which constitute an object being modelled as an object of scientific research. Giere (1988) takes most scientific models of interest to be non-linguistic abstract objects. Models, however, are the medium, not the message. Is information the (possibly non-linguistic) content of these models? How are informational models (semantically, cognitively, and instrumentally) related to the conceptualizations that constitute their empirical references? »
Floridi (2011) p. 41
Data / Information / Materialism
« Wiener’s problem: What is the ontological status of information?
Most people agree that there is no information without (data) representation. This principle is often interpreted materialistically, as advocating the impossibility of physically disembodied information, through the equation ‘representation = physical implementation’. (…) Here, let me stress that the problem is whether the informational might be an independent ontological category, different from the physical/material and the mental, assuming one could draw this Cartesian distinction. Wiener, for example, thought that
Information is information, not matter or energy. No materialism which does not admit this can survive at the present day. (Wiener (1948), p. 132)
If the informational is not an independent ontological category, to which category is it reducible? If it is an independent ontological category, how is it related to the physical/material and to the mental? »

We all have faced various types of problems while packing books for moving. When you move to another country or travel outside your city, it’s essential to pack your books in such a way that it remains intact. If you don’t have any idea about the best way to pack books for moving, your favorite books may be in awful condition soon after shifting. If some books are landed from a library or someone, the harm will diminish their value.
We will discuss some of the best ways to pack books for moving below, which will help you keep your books safe during moving from one location to another.
You’ve probably spent so many years on your collection of excellent books, so you must want to know how to pack books for moving quickly and effectively to protect their excellent condition through the move.
Best Way to Pack Books
#1. Sort, Giveaway, or Sell
In case you’re moving to a long-distance, have contracted movers, and are being charged by weight, ensure you cautiously sort out all your books and figure out what you need to keep and what you’re willing to pay to move. Hardcovers are substantial, and even softcover books can signify a ton of cash. Book lovers will, in general, gather numerous books over a brief timeframe, so now is an incredible time to isolate the “absolute necessities” from the “done-with-that” titles.
Distinguish those books that are probably not going to be read once more. At that point, could you search for a decent home for them? Recycled stores, church and school libraries, libraries around the neighborhood, and trade-in book retailers are some of the options that you may consider in the case of these types of books.
#2. Choose the Perfect Boxes
While you’re deciding how to move your favorite books, you can purchase some rigid, medium-sized cardboard boxes. Check to ensure they can hold the weight new boxes might be evaluated for significance) and ensure they are damp-proof, which is a specific worry with utilized boxes.
While it’s great to pack with boxes already used, it is vital to ensure that the issues are muscular, hold the weight and that there isn’t any wetness that could hurt your books. For extra precaution, get some strong pressing tape to seal the crate base and top and a marker to name the case’s items. It’ll help to identify quickly which books are in which boxes.
#3. Choose Compact Boxes
This appears to be genuinely self-evident. However, it’s the thing that maximum people do. The small (16″ x 12″ x 12″) boxes are sensible, yet it gets substantial when loaded up with hardcovers. According to research, alcohol store boxes, banana boxes, and old delivery boxes for moving books.
If you decide to use larger boxes, you should fill them around 75 percent with books. The rest may be utilized for garments, office supplies, or other lightweight objects. You can also fill the remaining space of boxes with paper or air pocket wrap to ensure books’ safety.
#4. Prepare the Boxes for Final Packing
In the case that you purchase new packing boxes, you should assemble them first. Ensure you seal the base well with a twofold layer of tape over all the creases. Where you are fixing the middle fold, make a point to proceed with the tape, in any event, most of the way up the sides of the case. In case you’re utilizing a reused box, consistently tape the last a third time to ensure it will hold the books properly.
#5. Pack Hardcover Books
- Hardcover versions can be packed by setting them in the case, placing them upwards, and spine against the box’s side, much the same as you were putting it on a rack. In the case that you pack books along these lines, ensure they’re stuffed well, however not all that firmly that they may be harmed while expelling them from the case.
- If the hardcover versions are of moderate worth, envelop everyone with wrapping paper before putting them in the case.
- For example, Rich Books, old photograph collections, or first versions, require hardened cardboard set between every volume to keep the spines straight and prevent any damage.
- Stack the Less important hardcovers the packing materials
#6. Pack Softcover Books
Like standard hardcovers, softcover books can be stuffed level and stacked. Or then again, pack them spine first, so the paper edges face up. To prevent damage, don’t pack books with the paper edges looking down and spines up—this will make books twist and pages twist.
Books can likewise be stuffed utilizing each of the three strategies in a single box. Ensure you don’t box for moving at odd points.
#7. Secure the Bottom of the Box
Before closing the container, use wadded-up paper to occupy any unique spaces. Books can move effectively during the shifting, causing no harm. Tape the boxes up and then name them “Books.” If you are reusing old boxes, make a point to cross out any past markings, so there is no disarray about what the case presently holds.
#8. Pack the Truck or Trailer
In the moving truck or moving van, book boxes are best set on the vehicle’s floor. Try not to stack the crates except if you can appropriately verify them against moving or tipping. Books are overwhelming, and if the cases ought to topple, they can do a great deal of harm to furniture or other fragile things.
#9. Long-Term Stockpiling
If you want to store books for a long time, you must ensure that the storeroom is dry and cool. What’s more, if your books are of high worth, you might need to utilize corrosive-free paper instead of wrapping paper to wrap them. The corrosive-free report won’t weaken or turn yellow after some time. Realizing how to clean books and appropriately care for them will make them last much longer.
So here are some of the best ways to pack books for moving, which will make your book moving much more hassle-free. As you know, some excellent, useful tips, the days of worrying about moving books are gone!

It's a problem for us and for every other similiar online tutor service. We have the content that covers a book but the publisher has 10 different editions of the same book with a different cover in each state. This poses us a problems with 2 choices.
1) Duplicate the same book 10 times to have an edition for each different book cover
2) Do only 1 copy and assume your audience will relate their book with a different cover to this one.
We have tended to go with option 1 but it is far from ideal becaise we end up cluttering up the book list with a load of duplicates which can make it more difficult for a user to find their book.
Anyone got an idea of a better way to do it?

In one of the ten chapters of Werner Herzog’s new documentary, Lo and Behold: Reveries of The Connected World, a bereaved mother asserts her belief in the demonic power of the Internet. Following the death of her daughter in a car accident, the family was plagued with ceaseless emails containing horrific images of the girl’s corpse. Now, the mother condemns the Internet as “the manifestation of the antichrist” – “the spirit of evil” running through everyone on earth. Later in the film, scientists speak of a sentient “intellectual Internet” – our soul companion in a future without the need for human interaction. Naturally, Herzog’s camera avoids all moral judgment; each idea, one biblically fatalistic, the other atypically utopian, is given equal credence.
Another early chapter explores the sacrosanct birthplace of the Internet. Computer scientist Leonard Kleinrock guides Herzog around the Stanford Research Institute room in which the very first online network was established. Kleinrock exalts room 3420 as “a sacred location, a holy place.” Herzog calls it a “shrine.” Later again, in a chapter entitled “The End of the Net,” a number of scientists link the potential death of the Internet to massive solar flares. While the devastation here goes beyond the demise of online connectivity (one scientist calls it “unimaginable horror”), the message is clear: no more Internet. From scientist to scientist, the beginning and end of the Internet is granted biblical significance.
Across these ten chapters, Herzog exhibits a diverse range of viewpoints regarding the Internet: worshippers and naysayers, those with crippling addictions to it and those who live in reclusive fear of it. Throughout, Herzog demonstrates his wonderful ability to plainly articulate complex ideas and theories, not in layman’s terms, but in poetic simplicities. The scope here is unfathomably broad, touching on ideas as diverse as “the internet on mars” to the concept of an Internet that “dreams of itself.” Despite these lofty designs, Lo and Behold is one of Herzog’s lightest documentaries in a while – the director is notably playful and warm, joking and empathising with his subjects throughout. Indeed, he treats the withdrawal symptoms of online gaming addicts with the same gravity as the despairs of a group of recluses living off the grid, terrified of the Internet’s radioactive fallout.
Despite setting out to study the “connected world,” Lo and Behold suffers from a distinct lack of connectivity. While this is due, in part, to its chapter divisions, it’s often difficult to find a connecting thread running throughout the documentary. There’s no distinct narrative here, more so an exhibition of ideas all under the umbrella of network and connectivity. Regardless, Lo and Behold is a fascinating experience, a ‘story so far’ style account of what Herzog, in his typically calm and understated mode, calls “one of the biggest revolutions we as humankind are experiencing.” In no other cinematic study of the Internet are experts and eccentrics given such equal estimation and faith. Herzog is keen to exhibit the phenomenon as both a revolutionary and religious experience, a malicious force and a tool for the greater good. Even if these ideas are tenuously linked, they are given coherence through Herzog’s reverie and respect.

Have you ever felt like the personal finance genre was filled with books that took weeks to read and failed to help you retain any of the information contained in them? I was recently made aware of a new series of books, available both in eBook and hard copy format, that promise to change the way younger generations interact with and learn from the written word. When I was given the chance to review “The Skinny on Credit Cards”, my curiosity kicked in.
What is The Skinny On…?
“The Skinny” is not your typical personal finance book. In fact, it’s not a typical book at all, but the author makes no attempt at hiding that. Based on the Japanese writing style known as “manga,” the contents could perhaps best be described as a mix between narrative, comic strip, a graphic novel, and live classroom instruction. The Skinny takes a highly condensed, often funny, and amazingly thorough look at the basics of credit cards today. All in under 2 hours (I’m a fast reader).
Jim Randel, an attorney and entrepreneur who has studied topics of financial literacy and personal achievement for thirty years, acts as the moderator and personal finance coach within the book’s illustrated story. The book interweaves lessons about the basics of credit cards with a story about a fictitious couple (Billy and Beth) who have fallen deep into credit card debt. It is structured around Jim’s attempt at teaching Billy and Beth the basics of responsible credit management while giving readers detailed lessons on each major topic.
What Makes This Style Effective?
What struck me most about The Skinny on Credit Cards was how incredibly easy the information was to read and absorb. Because of the alternating dialogue, lessons, jokes, and tidbits, I never felt like I had to stop to take a break and made it through the entire text in one sitting. That’s pretty incredible if you think about the average attention span someone is able to hold. The information is also very relevant, current and well-condensed to the point where the only excess information is really that which is designed to help maintain your attention (as described above). Jim writes in the foreword:
“Today, people have less time to read than they did 100 years ago. The real substance in most nonfiction books can be conveyed in far fewer pages…We do the homework for you and prioritize what is most important for you to know.”
I would say the book does a great job at prioritizing information. When I finished reading, I had an odd feeling of having missed out on something, probably due to the atypical style in which the book was written. But when I actually looked back on what I had learned, I realized that every major credit card topic had been covered, and covered in quite a lot of detail – but each detail presented was relevant and useful. And that is the beauty of this book’s writing style.
The Importance of Follow-Up
The Skinny on Credit Cards also places a strong emphasis on follow up. The company’s website is promoted throughout the book as a resource for updated information:
“We provide free e-mail updates to anyone wanting further information on trends, laws and protocols on the subject at hand.”

What Will I Learn?
The topics covered in The Skinny on Credit Cards include:
- Credit card “lingo”
- Reasons behind people’s financial choices
- How credit card companies view their customers
- The basic components of a credit card “cycle” – purchase, payment, balances, etc.
- Compound interest
- Why credit card companies love college students
- A three-point plan for reducing card balances
- Credit card terms and conditions
- Credit scores
Overview & Purchase
The Skinny offers a great read for anyone looking to learn the basics of credit cards, those who already own credit cards but know very little about them, as well as those who may have misused credit cards in the past and have found themselves in trouble. While it’s most certainly targeted at a younger generation, I think the book would appeal to almost anyone with a mind open to an alternative style of learning.
I am happy to recommend The Skinny on Credit Cards. At $9.95 for the eBook format and $14.95 for the print version, the price is reasonable and a good value. The Skinny on Credit Cards is available for purchase at Amazon.com. Yes, that’s an affiliate link that will make me some much-needed cash to keep the site going. 🙂

I’ve been reading along for a while now. I just wanted to drop you a comment to say keep up the good work.
@Aaron The blog has received an enormously positive response! Thank you to everyone for your continued kind words.
The book is also available for sale at the skinny on website http://www.theskinnyon.com . I tried to buy the ebook from Amazon, but they do not sell it so I bought directly from the skinny on and was very pleased with the service I received.
As far as I can tell, the book is now available and in stock @ Amazon. I think they had some issues earlier.

When writing songs, the BTS members draw inspiration from their personal experiences, but they have also been known to dabble in fiction. Here are 8 books to add to your reading list that either inspired a BTS song or were referenced in the lyrics.
1. Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart by James R. Doty
This non-fiction memoir is about the lessons the author learned from Ruth, a woman he met in a magic shop, who taught him how to open his heart and inspired him to become a neurosurgeon.
This book ties into “Magic Shop”, a song produced by Jungkook for Love Yourself: Tear. This song asks fans to open their hearts when they are hurt and lets them know that they are not alone.
Ever since BTS referenced this Into the Magic Shop, it’s sales have soared!
The author even reached out via Twitter, to thank BTS for using his book as inspiration.
@BTS_twt @jamesrdotymd @N2themagicshop #intothemagicshop @BBMAs thank you for using my book as #inspiration 방탄소년단의 새 음반 LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear' 에 중요한 모티브를 제공한 서적인 < 닥터 도티의 삶을 바꾸는 마술 가게 (원제 Into The Magicshop)>
— James R. Doty, M.D. (@jamesrdotymd) May 21, 2018
2. Demian by Hermann Hesse
So far, BTS have only officially confirmed a few literary connections that have directly influenced their music. Demian is, perhaps, the most well-known one. This 1919 novel follows a boy who fluctuates between the “world of light” and the “world of illusion”.
Demian played a key role in the album WINGS. Everything elements from the novel have weaved their way into jacket photos, songs lyrics, and even music videos, like the WINGS comeback trailer, “Boy Meets Evil”.
Demian‘s influence may be most noticeable in BTS’s “Blood, Sweat, & Tears”, which explores themes of duality and the interdependence of good and evil, just like the novel does.
3. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
RM has recommended several of this author’s books to fans over the years, so it’s no surprise Kafka on the Shore has slipped into BTS’s song “Butterfly”.
This complex 2002 novel follows a runaway teenage boy and an old man who can talk to cats as it oscillates between reality and dreams. BTS’s song “Butterfly” directly references the book with these lines: “I don’t know if this is reality or a dream / My Kafka on the shore / Don’t go to those woods over there”.
4. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. Le Guin
This 1973 short story is about a utopic town with a dark secret: a child must live in misery in exchange for the town’s happiness. Once the townspeople find out the truth, many accept it as a necessary evil and keep living in Omelas. The other walk away, and no one knows where they go.
“Spring Day” from BTS’s You Never Walk Alone album alludes to this in its music video by including a neon “Omelas” sign. Furthermore, many fans believe that Jungkook is “child” in this video, while the other members are “the ones who walk away”.
5. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
Like Khafa on the Shore this dystopian novel delves into a world where dreams and fantasy collide. The story takes place in Tokyo in the year 1Q84, a fictionalized 1984 that is in parallel with the “real” one.
1Q84 is another Haruki Murakami book that RM has recommended to fans and it loosely ties into the Love Yourself: Her‘s hidden track. “I see ocean,l see desert/ I see the world
Everything, same thing/ Different name”.
6. The Owl Service by Alan Garner
This 1967 fantasy novel is about a pair of step-siblings who discover plates in their home that have flowery patterns that can turn into magical owls when traces onto paper. As the kids uncover the mystery of the owl service, they become trapped within a local legend, playing roles in a tragic story that has repeated itself for generations.
Fans began to make connections to this classic novel after spotting the words “owl service” in one of the jacket photos for BTS’s You Never Walk Alone album.
The Owl Service characters are stuck in a never-ending cycle, much like BTS is in their interconnecting music video plotlines that began with “I NEED U”.
7. “The Pied Piper”
This fable tells the story of a pied piper who pipes the village free of rats, then calls away the village’s children with his music when the villagers refuse to pay him for his work.
In the song “Pied Piper”, BTS play the role of the pied piper, inviting listeners to escape their everyday lives by listening to their music.
8. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Jimin‘s solo, “Serendipity” is believed to have been inspired by this 1943 French novella. In the story, the titular character falls in love with a rose, but he does not know how to show his love for her.
In “Serendipity”, Jimin is the little prince. He sings about his love for his own “rose”, while surrounded by whimsical space imagery that reflects the novella’s setting.


The Lunar Chronicles - Marissa Meyer
So, I finished reading the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer today for the 2nd time and I have to say, there hasn’t been a book that catches me like this in a long time! I loved it!
The Lunar Chronicles are a series of 4 main books as follows:
And 2 extra books of stories…
1. Stars Above (a compilation of stories that are set before, in the middle and after the storyline of the the 4 books above)
2. Fairest (Story about Levana.. I think) I haven’t actually read this one… haha
I have to start by stating that the 4 main books are spin offs from the classic stories most of us (girls) have grown up with haha I’ll let you to find out which one is which… (it’s very easy though, you can know from the book covers…)
As I said at the beginning this series got me so absorbed that I had to read them 2 times and I still feel very attached to every character… they’re so relatable and at the same time… not haha.
*** Spoilers Ahead ***
In short (lol), this story is set in the future after the 4th world war that lead to a 3rd era where there is world peace, but a decade or so before the start of the start of the story a new epidemic started to threat the lives of people of the Earth Union, a disease called “Letumosis” that has no antidote and kills humans within 1 or 2 weeks of getting the first symptoms.
Cinder, our hero, is renown mechanic and also (though nobody but her family knows) a cyborg… in this science fictional universe cyborgs are regarded as second class people, and even by law are given very little power in comparison with the “normal” humans, and in the case of Cinder, being a minor, puts her in a very disadvantaged situation.
Because of her fame as a good mechanic, super popular and loved Prince Kaito (of the Eastern Commonwealth) stops by to ask her help regarding a broken android of him… and this is the beginning of a very akward relationship between them...
In the first book we’re also introduced to Lihn Adri, Pearl and Pheony who are the foster family of Cinder and also Queen Levana of Luna, the main antagonist of the whole series… who basically wants to mary Prince Kaito in order to gain control over the people of Earth...
Due to their long life at the moon, lunars developed an ability to control the bio electricity of their fellow human beings either Lunar or Earthen, and the royal family of Luna (Queen Levana) are particularly stronger at controling people… hence trying to marry into a powerful family/government to be able to own Earth in the end.
Lots of things happen and I won’t give much spoilers, but to continue with the story, Cinder discover she’s also Lunar and that she also has the mind control powers (though she doesn’t know how to use them) and by attending to a party in which she stumbles with Queen Levana herself she’s accused of ilegal immigration (‘cause lunars are not supposed to be in earth), attempt to kill the queen, among other things; so she’s sent to jail where a fellow lunar friend breaks the news that she’s also the Lost Princess Selene who has the power to overthrow the evil queen… but for that she has to find a way to reclaim the throne.
Meanwhile, Prince Kaito who became Emperor Kaito of the Eastern Commonwealth (basically supreme leader of our Asia) is left in distraught because he found out Cinder was both Lunar and Cyborg (basically at the same moment) and he doesn’t know if what he felt for her was real or not (because of the mind control thing)...
Cinder Character: Brave, sarcastic, akward, kind, keen, smart! A good leader!
Kai Character: Smart, good talker, humble, funny, bold, kind harted! A great Leader!
In the next book, Scarlet, our hero Cinder with the help of a new character called Carswell Thorne escapes New Beijing (the city where she lived) Jail, steals a stolen ship and goes to the space where she decides she wants to find out more about her past (because she’s the lost Princess Selene) and who brought her to earth, and who took care of her, and all that! (By this point I have to point out that Selene survived (barely) an attempt of murder (by burning her alive) from her own aunt Queen Levana (creeeeeeps). And to know more about this, she goes find the only name she has regarding her past Michelle Benoit.
We’re also introduced to Scarlet Benoit (who happens to be Michelle’s granddaughter) who is a bold, brave, ginger girl that has a great sense of justice and who’s grandmother has just been kidnapped (or so she things).
In the course of some day she meets a guy who calls himself Wolf, and who seems weird in the French town where Scarlet lives but either way she finds herself attracted to him and him to her. Scarlet finds out (through her father who was also kiddnapped but released) that Wolf has some kind of involvement in the kidnap of her grandmother but he seems unwilling to help her… at first.
Later Scarlet convinces him to help and he takes her to the Wolves HQ, where Wolf happens to be an alfa leader of sorts, and also sort of betrays Scarlet.
By this point, Queen Levana is furious because Cinder escaped and gives Kai 3 days to find her otherwise she’ll attack earth… and Cinder goes to France and turns out she doesn’t find either Michelle nor Scarlet.
Of course, Kai doesn’t find Cinder and Levana activates her wolf soldiers (who are positioned all around earth) and they start killing lots of people. Wolf is one of thos activated soldiers… but in a change of heart he decides to go back and help Scarlet and he finds her and kind of declares his love to her… and by this point Cinder, Thorn and Ship Iko appear (because she found Scarlet through her ID Chip) and takes Scarlet and Wolf with them.
Later on book 3, Cress, the new gang Cinder, Thorne, Scarlet and Wolf decide to go pick up a highly skilled hacker named Cress who was imprisoned in a satelite 7 years earlier and decided that would help Cinder cause because, among other reasons, found Thorne very handsome and hero like. But of course things go wrong and Cress and Thorne are left in the satelite as it crashes down to earth, Scarlet is taken by Levana’s right hand Sybil to the moon, and Cinder is left with a wounded Wolf and a Lunar Royal Guard called Jacin.
By this point, Cinder decides to go to a small town in Africa to find her initial Lunar friend and starts developing a new strategy to overthrow Levana and take the throne. The new character Jacin, is cold and sarcastic to Cinder and claims to be only loyal to his princess (who Cinder things is herself but later finds out is Princess Winter).
In order to stop Levana from killing more people with her wolf soldiers, Kai asks to marry her, even though he knows that the queen will kill him when she doesn’t need him anymore.
Cress and Thorne have it hard on the dessert, that turns out to be the Sahara, first because it IS a DESSERT and second because Thonre hits his head and is blind, but later find help and are taken to the closest city. But then since Cress is a special lunar, she’s kidnapped and taken to a Doctor in a nearby town. By some miracle, the doctor turns out to be not only the Lunar friend of Cinder but also her own father (who thought her dead), and the gang is sort of reunited (because Scarlet was taken prisioner to Luna).
Once together, they decide to kidnap emperor Kai to delay the wedding and find a way to go to Luna to start an uprising. By the new acquired hacking abilities of Cress they’re able to kidnap Kai who is thorned between happy to see Cinder and not so happy because they made Levana angry again (… yet again). They decide that the easiest way to go to Luna is if Kai convinces Levana to have the wedding there (mindless to say, Cinder and Kai now call themselves boyfriend and girlfriend); she does agree and the plan begins.
Also, Thorne has his eyes somewhat cured, the lunar doctor gets Letumosis (who acts way faster in lunars) and Jacin betrays the crew in order to comeback with his princess.
Which takes us to the last book, Winter, and here we get to know Winter a very pretty and very crazy lunar Princess who is hated by Levana because of her beauty. Winter has scars in her face because Levana made her cut herself to become uglier (but failed), and is somewhat becoming insane because she refuses to use her lunar manipulation gift. She also saves Scarlet by turning her in to her pet and puting her in a zoo.
The crew with Kai’s help get to Luna, and again anger Levana, but this time Kai just acts smug about it. They separate from Cress who is later rescued by Winter and Jacin. The rest of them go to the outer sectors to convince people to join the revolution.
A more and more paranoid Levana, snaps at Winter and decides she no longer wants her alive and orders Jacin to kill her, but he instead with the help of Cress, frees Scarlet and ask her to take Winter to where Cinder, Wolf, Thorne and Iko are (Iko is Cinder’s android). They arrive there where a very very very relieved Wolf reunites with Scarlet and begin planning for the revolts, but in that, they make a lot of noise and Levana finds and sends people to take them prisioners, which they do, they take Cinder and Wolf to the castle.
Around this time, Levana successfully marries Kai and awaits for their coronation of Empress of the Commonwealth and King of Luna.
In order to continue with the uprising, Winter and Scarlet go find more of the wolf soldiers and Thorne and Iko go to try to rescue Cinder. But turns out Cinder didn’t need much help, because when Levana was about to execute her by dismemberment (as a show for her wedding dinner) she controls the queens soldiers and kills most of the guards and then escapes by jumping off a window to a lake some floors below.
Though Cinder can’t swim because of her Cyborg programing isn’t ment for water immersion, she manages to stay sort of afloat until Thorne and Jacin go to help her. Back in a safe house, Iko and Cress in an attempt to fix her programming, they download a video that Cinder took of Levana’s real face.
On the coronation day, Cinder marches up to the capital city with her new followers to dethrone Levana and after a long looong fight in which Scarlet meets with a newly tampered and desfigured Wolf, Winter becomes very crazy and Cress and Thorne are captured, Cinder manages to fight Levana and shoot her, though Levana also stabs Cinder. But fortunately, Cinder is saved and so is Luna, and the Letumosis patients on earth, the Shells, and everybody...
And they all lived happily ever after… (and I would say a little crazy also).
I loved this series, I’d read them again but I have to continue with other books. I have to finish Stars Above and Fairest, but is not urgent for me...
I have to check which will be the next book I write about.. this was FUN ! ❤


“You’ve got a knife, lad?” The boatswain, John, asked. Anne’s hand went to her belt and nodded, feeling the wooden handle in her palm. “Let’s see you use it then." Anne drew her blade and sawed away at the rope John had told her to cut. “Where’d you get it?”
“Someone threw it into a wall.” Anne summarized as she drew her arm back and forth. It wasn’t a lie, the knife had been thrown, probably by a drunk thug, and had stuck in the wall of the inn she stayed at the night before. When no one came running after it, Anne pulled it out of the framework and made it her own. “Will it do?”
“It’ll do quite well, I think.” John caught the two pieces of rope and Anne stashed the knife back in her belt. The boatswain noted the ribbon that the cabin lad secured his new weapon with. “Got a girl back home, then?”
“What?” Anne looked at the boatswain with alarmed eyes and looked back at her knife. “Oh…erm…aye.” She lied, hoping that no one would question her too much about the few baubles she carried.
The Belay Pin, the Pouch, and the Journal and Pencil
Captain Frobisher’s papers were a mess. How the man had managed to keep the ship running with everything out of order, Anne couldn't fathom. She spent a good hour just putting everything in order and another two hours deciphering the captain’s haphazard scrawl and spelling. Everything needed to be re-logged into the leather bound journal she had found at the bottom of the writing desk. Captain Frobisher, while an accomplished sailor to say the least, was absolute rubbish when it came to keeping track in documentation.
A severe hand cramp caused Anne to put a pause in her copy work. She folded the page she had stopped writing at. Carefully she slid the journal and pencil into the pouch Stretch the sail maker had helped her to sew out of some old clothes. It wasn't as if Anne didn't already know how to sew, but if she was going to try and act like a boy she wanted to at least seem ignorant of sewing.
The sound of the boatswain’s whistle “all hands on deck” resounded round the ship and sent Anne running out of the captain’s room. Before Anne knew it the crew where all rushing at her and she leap up among the rigging, not stopping her climb until she reached the crow's nest. She didn't come down until the men promised not to haze her any more and went back about their work.
No one noticed that during the next week they were short one belaying pin, or if anyone did notice the appearance of the new item on “Andrew’s” belt, none of the sailors said anything. Even if she did have a knife, Anne felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
Come back around 9pm!

Jackson State University, March 27, 2019
After flirting with the idea late last year of incorporating virtual reality into the classroom, Jackson State University installed new equipment last week to launch Mississippi’s first “University VR Academy.”
After just a mere few months of deliberating and consulting with virtual reality company Lobaki, JSU is now the state’s academic and research VR leader. This new development is poised to change teaching methods and spur academic, entrepreneurial and economic successes.
The campus academy, which has 15 stations in the H.T. Sampson Library, is the first for an institution of higher learning in the Magnolia state and the largest in the South.
Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker, associate provost and vice president for Research and Economic Development, said, “As one considers the pace at which the world is moving and the changing technology, it’s important that we prepare our students and faculty to potentially work in the landscape.” As such, JSU moved quickly to put the wheels in motion.
“WE want them to lead the university rather than playing catch up. With that in mind, we developed this facility so students and faculty can become critical thinkers and do things that 10 years ago we could only imagine,” Whittaker said.
“This new academy allows us to assess, test ideas, build prototypes and reimagine what today and the future will look like.”
Dr. Almesha Campbell, director of JSU’s Technology Transfer, Commercialization and Research Communications in the Office of Research and Economic Development, oversees the project.
“We officially installed the virtual reality academy in the new innovation space on the second floor of the H.T. Sampson Library. We have 15 VR stations that we will use to train faculty and students on how to build virtual worlds as well as to immerse themselves into virtual reality. VR is not new, but now it’s really taking off in the U.S., and we want JSU to be a leader in the area.” Campbell said she envisions a future of unimaginable growth on many levels.

Book Reviews: January 2017
Medical Programme and Life Science
The Origins of Everything in 100 Pages: David Bercovici
Published by Yale University Press, £12.99
This book is a fascinating short account of the creation of stars and galaxies, how the earth’s atmosphere and ocean’s formed, and the origin of life on earth. Rocketing through 14 billion years and making connections between essential theories, this is a special literacy endeavour, which fascinates and captivates the reader. Few books so concisely and cogently bring readers through such diverse topics as astrophysics, particle physics, tectonics, and photosynthesis. I found the chapter on Oceans and Atmosphere most informative. Suitable for those doing A-level sciences and those interested pursuing degrees in: Geology, Biogeography, Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology.
The author, David Bercovici is the Frederick William Beinecke Professor of Geology and Geophysics at Yale University.
What is Life? Addy Pross
Published by Oxford University Press, £9.99
This wonderful book uncovers the chemical roots of Darwinian theory, using systems chemistry to generate insights about how life arose. It explores what gives life its unique characteristics and how did life emerge from non-life. The chapter on Stability and Instability provides useful insights on why chemical reactions occur and how this effects RNA replication. Suitable for A-level students and those interested in pursuing degrees in: Biochemistry, Medicine, Chemistry or Biophysics.
The author, Addy Pross, is Professor of Chemistry at Ben Gurion University of the Negav, Israel.

How does it feel to have your feet tickled? Why do you sometimes get angry? And what does it sound like when you cover your ears and breathe deeply?
A Feeling of Me lets children discover their bodies and get to know themselves. Open-ended questions create time for reflection, which strengthens the child’s self-esteem and provides tools for finding an inner calm. Inspired by mindfulness and yoga, the book encourages physical and sensory experiences where both you and your child will have the opportunity to get in touch with yourselves.
Anna Bjärkvik is a yoga instructor and entrepreneur. Her experience as a child was that grown-ups were rarely interested in talking about life, the body and the inner self. When she became a mother herself, there was also born a driving force to help both grown-ups and children to get to know their inner child. The text is accompanied by wonderful pictures, illustrated by the artist Caroline Midbeck.

Although many libraries are taking a 2.0 approach to providing information services using Web 2.0 tools, there are others that draw the line when it comes to using more popular forms of social networking. Certainly in some organisations there may be a lack of understanding as to how social media works and even resistance to changing the way things have always been done.
In many ways using social media is about letting go of the notion of being ‘in control’. It is about trusting your users and allowing them to have a say. It is also about being open to negative feedback in a public arena and realising that a timely and positive response will often do more good than harm and can be beneficial in assisting you to provide better services. Lastly, issues of privacy around social media can be a concern for some organisations; however I believe that with good policies and practices in place it is possible to ensure you maintain the highest standards.
On a national scale, one library that is at the forefront in using social media to enhance it’s service provision is the National Library of Australia’s Trove project where their use of crowdsourcing and social engagement has enabled them to employ an army of unpaid volunteers to digitise out of copyright books, proofread articles and transcribe handwritten records enabling them to become searchable online. The slideshare presentation below created by Rose Holley explains more about the project.
Living Libraries Australia wiki is an example of using social media to form partnerships and was developed by the Australian Library and Information Association in conjunction with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the Lismore City Council. The purpose of the wiki is to provide an online forum for members of the Living Libraries Australia network to share information and collaborate. Lismore’s Living Library is an initiative that aims to bring people from diverse backgrounds together through conversation to promote understanding and community – it works in the same way as a normal library however the ‘Books’ in this case are real people and the stories they tell are their life.
Finally, the University College Dublin Library gives us an example of how Facebook can be used in a positive and active way to promote not only the library’s services, but also to provide a wealth of interesting information including announcements, links to other sites and instruction videos. I am not surprised the library has been ‘liked’ 2,248 times!


Alexandre Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008)
“I wanted to be the memory … the memory of a people victim of an unspeakable tragedy.”
Literature, like politics, the business world, science and religion, is a privileged field for the exercise of magnanimity.
Very shortly after his arrest by the Soviet political police, Alexander Solzhenitsyn grasped the meaning and scope of his mission: to become the powerful and universal voice of the millions of innocent people, victims of communism. “I will publish everything! I will utter everything! From the dynamite piled up in the boxes of the Lubyanka, to the calls in the steppe camps in the middle of winter, in the name of all the strangles, all the shots, all the deaths of hunger, the deaths of cold. Solzhenitsyn realized he had to shout the truth, “as long as the little calf does not break its neck against the oak, unless the oak starts to crack, it does not fall. Unlikely eventuality, but that I admit, however, quite.
A writer who set such a high goal in such a place and at such a time was for Russia and for the whole world an extraordinary sign of hope. The Russian poetess Olga Sedakova, who reads Solzhenitsyn in samizdat,testifies:”This information on the unimaginable extent of the evil provoked by communism, this information communicated by Solzhenitsyn and likely to pulverize an ill-prepared person , did not exhaust the content of the message. By their very existence and their rhythm, the writings of Solzhenitsyn made us understand in the depths of our being that an evil, even of this size, and even if well armed, is not all powerful! This is what amazed us more than anything: a man alone faced with a system, almost cosmic, of lies, stupidity, cruelty and destruction. Such a situation occurs only once a millennium. And in each sentence, we perceived which side was the victory. A victory not triumphal, like those that knew this regime, but a victory paschal, the one that passes from death to life. In The Gulag Archipelago,men turned into camp dust resurrected, a country resuscitated, the truth resurrected. This resurrection force capable of exploding the universe, no one could have transmitted it as well. The resurrection of the truth in man – and the truth about man – when such a thing was totally impossible. ”
Solzhenitsyn is a remarkable example of endurance. He resisted for several decades the pressure of a totalitarian regime that had sworn to annihilate it. Solzhenitsyn’s reputation was great in Russia and abroad as long as he limited himself to criticizing Stalin, as in his first work.A Day of Ivan Denisovich.This was perfectly in keeping with the aims of Khrushchev, who at the time was leading a campaign against Stalin’s cult of personality. It was also suitable for philanthropic intellectuals in the West, who admired the October revolution, but thought that Stalin had betrayed it. In his subsequent works, Solzhenitsyn clearly stated that he was opposed not only to Stalin but also to Lenin and the October Revolution. He even rejected the February Revolution and did not hesitate to expose his heterodox views in his Open Letter to the Leaders of the Soviet Union.He thus attracted the enmity of the Soviet regime and the legions of Western intellectuals, its former supporters, sympathizers of the revolutionary cause. Exiled in the West, Solzhenitsyn faced the misunderstanding and derision caused by his refusal to pledge allegiance to materialistic ideals popular in the 1970s. The growing army of his detractors, who found intolerable a world view contradicting theirs, soon an enemy of all liberty and progress. Solzhenitsyn does not falter.
Solzhenitsyn was a deeply magnanimous being. He possessed a high sense of his own dignity at a time when the totalitarian Soviet regime was flouting this dignity in an unknown way until now. Solzhenitsyn’s mission can be summed up in these words:”I wanted to be the memory; the memory of a people victim of an unspeakable tragedy.”
Solzhenitsyn’s most talented contemporaries, captivated by Solzhenitsyn the writer, did not hide their shock at the meeting of the Solzhenitsyn man. Anna Akhmatova, the Russian poet and Nobel Prize winner for literature writes: “A light bearer! We had forgotten that such people still existed.A surprising being.A great man.”
Not only did Solzhenitsyn inform the world of the reality and extent of the evil that threatened him, but he also changed the lives of so many. By the example of his life he restored in their hearts the hope and the sense of dignity.

Beyond Belief : The American Press And The Coming Of The Holocaust, 1933- 1945
Popular Features. New Releases. Description In this book, Deborah Lipstadt argues that, from to , the American press failed to treat the destruction of European Jews as urgent news. When newspaper did report on the horrors being perpetrated, they adopted a skeptical posture, burying small stories with ambiguous headlines on inside pages. Lipstadt documents how the demand for objectivity, the cynicism or gullibility of reporters, the incredulity of editors, and an atmosphere of isolationism helped to shape the news - and influenced policymakers who might have saved countless lives.
About Deborah E. Rating details.
Book ratings by Goodreads. Goodreads is the world's largest site for readers with over 50 million reviews.
We're featuring millions of their reader ratings on our book pages to help you find your new favourite book. There are other, more intricate aspects to the story, and Professor Lipstadt explores them, but the quickest way to suggest how inadequate the response was is to cite one or two of her many examples of how even the most horrifying news was tucked away on inside pages.
In December , for example, when The Chicago Tribune covered a major report from the Inter-Allied Information Committee in which Nazi-occupied Poland was described as ''one vast center for murdering Jews,'' the paper put the story on page 18 next to a marriage announcement. The previous month The New York Times had run a story about a statement from a member of the Polish National Council that a million Polish Jews had already been killed.
Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933-1945
It appeared on page 16, next to a report on the hijacking of a truckload of coffee in New Jersey. Such eerie editorial decisions were the norm, not the exception, and there was relatively little improvement until the very end of the war. Discussing this sorry record, Professor Lipstadt makes many useful points and offers a number of tentative and partial explanations -among other things, she invokes a native American tradition of excessive skepticism and raises the unavoidable question of how far reactions were colored by an imperfect sympathy toward Jews.
It might have been helpful if she had found space to compare the coverage of the Holocaust with that of other atrocities of the period, but even as it stands the questions that the book raises are as far-reaching as they are disquieting.

Call for Papers
Issues of identity in Southeastern Europe have received a great deal of attention from different perspectives since the collapse of the totalitarian regimes in 1991. What the greatest part of this research has in common is a concept of identity that is not primordialist or essentialist in its approach but sees the phenomenon of identity as a product of processes of human interaction. This paradigm can be seen above all in the use of performative concepts (i.e. discoursivity) and an understanding of culture not as a Weberian “web of meaning” but as daily practice. In this context identity becomes “situational” or “constructed”. Identity becomes identities and we arrive at a point where we may speak of an individualised construction of identity.
This research has nevertheless remained implicitly textual or text-based in its nature: A predilection that has reinforced the social sciences’ tendency to essentialism, excessive formalism as well as the representation of all meaning as linguistic. Text-based research has thus focused on historical, geographical and economic issues at the expense of how these issues were communicated. This has resulted in an incomplete view of the construction of identity.
The conference is a first attempt to meet the challenges of text-based scholarship, to break this medial one-dimensionality dictated by textuality and to shift the focus to the aural and visual dimensions of identity. The objective of this endeavour is to examine identity in Southeastern Europe by means of its media of communication, specifically that of the photographic image and the sound recording. Brought to a point, the primary issue is one of how people perceive themselves and their environment on the basis of communication media, or, as Kelly Askew put it in her introduction to an “Anthropology of Media”, the question is one of “what meanings people construct out of mass mediated images and sounds.”
We understand the term „media” in its original Aristotelian sense as media of sensory perception – i.e. sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. The conference intends to examine this neglected level of sensory perception and communication of histories, identities and cultural forms of expression. The aim is not only to approach the question of how identities are communicated but also to examine them in how they are performed and made physically perceptible. More concretely, the role of photography and the photograph on the one hand and the audio recording and the recording process on the other will be examined in the conscious and unconscious construction and interpretation of identity in Southeastern Europe.
Invited speakers are not limited to the discussion of the contemporary media landscape but are challenged to take a historical perspective, this discussion being explicitly historical – it necessarily includes the integration of media representations from the socialist and pre-socialist periods into contemporary identity concepts. The local perspective is of particular interest in the discussion of these forms of representation and the associated impact on the local self-image. How do these representations affect various Southeastern European self-images?
What effect do they have on how the past is understood? What role do medialised representations play in ambitions to preserve or – alternatively – to transform local cultural heritage?
Contributors addressing these and any other related issues on photography, (ethno)musicology, oral history or medial (self-)representation in Southeastern Europe are invited to send an abstract of ca. 300 words and a short c.v. to:
