"When you express your love for your wife using her primary love language, it's like hitting the sweet spot on a baseball bat or golf club. It just feels right-and the results are impressive." -Gary Chapman
I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review. When you get married, we often don't know what we are getting into. It's a kind of an on the job training type of experience. Most of us men make mistakes with how we treat our wives. Some of us learn from those mistakes, others never learn. The book the 5 Languages for Men, Tools for Making a Good Relationship Great by Gary Chapman gives you some important ideas about how to treat your wife the right way.
I spent fourteen years figuring this stuff out myself. I would upset my wife and she would be grumpy at me for days. I had to learn how to treat her in a way that makes her happy and feel good about herself. I mean no relationship is perfect, but our relationship is growing now more than it has before. This book gives all men ideas about the right way to treat your wife. How to communicate to her in a way that makes her happy. I believe once we realize woman are not like our buddies, but our wives, it will put us in the right direction. If you pay attention to these ideas, they will really help you in your relationship. I noticed that Gary Chapman has other books that teaches each type of person how to treat other people. So don't worry men, he isn't just picking on us. He is trying to help everybody.

Everything has a cause, and that cause or seed of manifestation is Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa's energy, nothing can exist; therefore He is called omnipotent. Without His potency, neither the movable nor the immovable can exist. Whatever existence is not founded on the energy of Kṛṣṇa is called māyā, "that which is not."

I Sold Andy Warhol (Too Soon).
Richard Polsky leads the way through this explosive, short-lived period when the "art world"
became the "art market." He delves into the behind-the-scenes politics of auctions, the shift
in power away from galleries, and the search for affordable art in a rich man's playing field.
Unlike most in the art world, Polsky is not afraid to tell it like it is as he negotiates deals for
clients in New York, London, and San Francisco, and seeks out a replacement for his lost
Fright Wig in a market that has galloped beyond his means. This book takes an unvarnished
look at how the industry shifted from art appreciation to monetary appreciation.

More people have been taking a look at audiobooks and e-books than ever before these days. They’re getting books that are arranged in convenient audio formats that can be played back on a computer or any portable media device. They are also looking at digital books that are arranged on formats that are easy to display on tablets, smartphones and other computers that can support such formats.
So why are so many people going after these books? There are more than enough reasons why people are choosing them for their entertainment needs?
Do You Have Time To Read?
In recent time, many people have said that they haven’t bother to read things because they don’t have the time for doing so. Today things have changed as people are now finding the time to get access to fine books because of audiobooks and e-books. These books are easier to find these days and are much more portable than anyone could imagine.
People can listen to audiobooks in their cars. They can also read them on their portable devices while on the train or at a bus stop among other places. The fact is that people can actually get access to fine books without having to worry about how much time they have for reading such books.
They Can Be Found In Many Spots
It is not too hard for people to find such books either. People can get access to many of these digital books through an extensive variety of online sources. People can find these books in places like online retail stores and even through public domain sources. These public domain spots tend to be popular for older books that don’t have copyrights on them but any place that offers quality entertainment could certainly offer audiobooks and digital books for people to read.
Sharing Is Easy
Remember the days when people would pass around physical books in order to share them with other people? That was rather inconvenient as there would often be cases where those books will be lost as they are borrowed. Don’t forget all the physical stress that some of those books might gone through after all that time.
Today it is amazingly easy for people to share these books. That’s because people who legally own such audiobooks and e-books can use a license or two for the book and send it to someone through an online connection. This makes it rather easy for anyone to read such books. It does not take much effort to get these books shared in a variety of spaces. Therefore, people will actually want to share their books with others and allow for some entertainment without worrying about having to lose the physical copy of such a book. It’s a great aspect of such a book that is worth exploring.
It is no wonder why people are so fascinated by the world of audiobooks and e-books. People who used to have a rather difficult time with actually finding an opportunity for reading such books can finally do so thanks to these convenient digital publications. It’s easy to share them as well.

The wildly successful Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy follows the relationship between the innocent Anastasia Steele, a college graduate, and the mysterious Christian Grey, a young successful businessman. Written by British author E L James, the adult romance series is notable for its depiction of erotic scenes. All three books feature sexual practices involving sadism/masochism, bondage, and dominance/submission.
For a quick background, Fifty Shades of Gray Audio Book started out as a Twilight fan fiction titled Master of the Universe. Under the pseudonym “Snowqueen’s Icedragon,” E L James posted it on fan fiction websites in separate installments. After receiving comments regarding the material’s sexual nature, the author decided to published it exclusively on her own website.
Eventually, James rewrote the fan fiction as an original piece. She changed the main character’s backgrounds and renamed them Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. After that, she submitted the material for print publication.
The revised and extended version of James’ Twilight fan fiction became the Fifty Shades Trilogy. Fifty Shades of Grey, the first book in the series was released in May 2011 both as an e-book and a print-on-demand paperback. The book was released with the help of The Writers’ Coffee Shop, an Australian virtual publisher. The second book was then published in September 2011 while the third one was launched in January 2012. Even with the Writers’ Coffee Shop’s limited budget for promotion, the books went viral due to word of mouth recommendations from bloggers.
The first book in the series, Fifty Shades of Grey, introduces Anastasia and Christian and how they started their intense, sexually-charged relationship. It ends with Anastasia leaving Christian as she doesn’t know how to deal with his dark passion anymore. The second book, Fifty Shades Darker, throws the couple back into each other’s arms again.

If you download fifty shades freed audiobook, the final book in the series, it follows the two as a married couple, with Anastasia being pregnant with their first child.

The series has broken sales records since its publication, selling millions of copies everywhere. All three books have been published in almost 40 countries and have since become available in audiobook format. Even non-readers are able to enjoy the trilogy thanks to its popularity as an audible download.

Combine a dystopian world set in a post-apocalyptic nation with a tyrannic society lording it over poor, impoverished citizens by forcing them to compete in a battle to the death: that’s what the hunger games Audio Book is all about.
Suzanne Collin’s highly successful trilogy has received widespread acclaim for her fast-paced story line and thematic content, drawing on Greek mythology and Roman gladiator games. The story is set in the first person narrative of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a young but accomplished archer who will do anything to keep her mother and younger sister safe. After her father’s death, she sustains her family by hunting with her best friend Gale.
Despite her simple lifestyle, there remains the ominous threat of the Hunger Games: an annual event imposed by the Capitol over the rest of the nation. One boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts are chosen through lottery to compete in the televised battle. Only one winner gets to survive, winning fame and fortune for his district.
The trilogy follows Katniss’ adventures as she competes in the Games, makes shaky alliances, and finally challenges the autocratic rule of the leaders of the Capitol.
The books have gotten much attention because of its similarities with the Japanese book Battle Royale, which also features a battle to the death. In Collins’ world, power play and subversion are also a dominant theme, with the later books Catching Fire and Mockingjay detailing the slow and steady growth of the rebel movement and revolution against the leaders of the Capitol.
The story is a combined social commentary on the pervasiveness of reality television, violence shown in public, and the deference to authority, all told from the perspective of one young teenager.
The series became even more of a hit with audiences after it was adapted for the big screen, with Hollywood darling Jennifer Lawrence playing Katniss, Liam Hemsworth playing Gale, and Josh Hutcherson playing the role of Peeta, the male tribute from District 12 alongside Katniss.
Because of its runaway success, it has now become very marketable, with merchandise based on the Hunger Games franchise and more ways to immerse in Katniss’ world of Panem. The books are also available in audio book format, allowing for a more immersive and emotionally charged experience of the book. The series gets darker, serious, and more political, leading up to finale of the series MOCKINGJAY AUDIOBOOK. The political element is just another thing that adds to the appeal and critical acclaim of the Hunger Games stories.
A story about power play, magic, and warring families all competing to sit on the coveted Iron Throne: George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has captivated audiences, even garnering more media attention and fan praise thanks to HBO’s live action adaptation, Game of Thrones.
The American fantasy drama series is based on Martin’s ongoing book series, of which there are currently five: A Song of Ice and Fire (1996), A Clash of Kings (1998), A Storm of Swords (2000), A Feast for Crows (2005), A Dance with Dragons Audiobook (2011) and two more upcoming books, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.
Game of Thrones is the first book in the series A Song of Ice and Fire. The story is based primarily on the fictional kingdom of Westeros, ruled by a king who sits the Iron Throne at the capital King’s Landing. The first novel introduces interweaving plot lines of the noble houses of Westeros, bound by a fragile peace under King Robert of House Baratheon; the exiled line of the Targaryens, who was driven out of the kingdom in a civil war and whose blood line lives on in brother and sister Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen; and the constant, looming threat of the supernatural Others living beyond a protective, immense wall of ice on the northern border.
As the series progresses, many new characters with different political motives take the spotlight. Several ‘heroes’ are shockingly killed; allegiances turn; alliances vanquished. New houses and families usurp power. Tragedy strikes Houses and families, and the once meek Daenerys rises to become the Mother of Dragons, on a quest to reclaim the Iron Throne she believes is rightfully hers.
As families stab each other in the back for the power and honor to sit the throne, the threat of the Others continue to grow, posing a danger to Westeros from the north.
What makes the entire series so compelling and worthy of critical acclaim is its portrayal of power play and moral ambiguity. There seems to be no clear protagonist or antagonist with clearly defined motives; any character can reasonably die, change allegiance, or turn from hero to villain and vice versa. No one is considered safe. With the stories told through the point of view of several main characters, the readers get only a limited, biased perspective of how events unfold. Battles and violence comprise much of the stories, as do the quieter struggles in political intrigue. Later on, the idea and use of magic becomes more and more prominent in later volumes.
If you’ve ever wanted to know what the collective acclaim for the series is all about, George RR Martin’s imaginative series is available in digital mediums that make it easy for anyone to catch up. Immerse in the magic of Martin’s world: the series is now available in audiobook format to make it easier for anyone to keep up with the latest story lines and plot twists at your own pace and convenience. Get on with the latest in the stories while waiting for the next two installments in the highly addictive series.


An annotated bibliography is a list of works (books, websites, articles, lections, etc.) that includes evaluative and descriptive information about the sources that were used in your paper. These comments are called annotations.
Annotated bibliography format
A bibliography paper consists of two parts: a citation and an annotation.
You should form your citation in a bibliographic style requested for your assignment. The most common are APA style annotated bibliography and MLA style annotated bibliography.

Annotations should include the following:
- A short summary of the source
- Weaknesses and strengths of the source
- Conclusions of the source
- Explanations why this source is relevant to your project
- A few words about the author and his/her background
- You own conclusions about the source

What is the purpose of annotated bibliography
Depending on a type of the project you have, your annotations should do the following:
Try to figure out what are the main arguments and the whole point of the work. Specify the topics covered and briefly describe what is this book/article about.
After you summarize a source, you should evaluate it. Is it useful and reliable? What is its goal?
After summarizing and assessing a source, try to think how it is related to your research. Was it helpful? What contributions and changes did it bring to your paper? Has it changed your thinking about the topic?
If you still have questions, check out annotated bibliography sample found online or hire an annotated bibliography maker at our company!


YORKSHIRE RIPPER: THE SECRET MURDERS
Commissioned by ITV and originally broadcast in February 2022, this documentary series investigates a string of unsolved murders and attacks for which, even after his death, Peter Sutcliffe remains a prime suspect.
Based on the book of the same name by former police intelligence officer Chris Clark and investigative journalist Tim Tate, and directed by Adam Luria, the series pieces together evidence which indicates that Sutcliffe is the perpetrator of over 20 unsolved murders and at least 5 unsolved attempted murders in England.
Across the episodes, the case is built against Sutcliffe using interviews with loved ones of victims, investigators, and eyewitnesses to the crimes. Period archive and expert interviews reveal how the attitudes of British law enforcement and the media, and the limitations of policing at the time, allowed Sutcliffe to continue killing undetected for over a decade.
In addition to dealing with the unsolved murders, the series also examines how three innocent men were the victims of some of the longest miscarriages of justice in British history after spending more than 20 years of their lives in prison for crimes where the evidence points to Sutcliffe as a prime suspect.

M.Kids approach to early childhood education is practically driven which enables children to learn, navigate and explore. We are committed in using different materials in powerful ways to enhance learning and teaching. We also see technology as a natural tool in the learning process that supports and enhances the curriculum. Using Montessori materials is another medium to investigate, plan, control, create, publish, present, evaluate and reflect on learning to a variety of audiences face to face.
Our learning environment is designed to support the children’s developmental journey through our well collection of technical resources which includes:
- Reading corners with access to digital media
- Multimedia classrooms
- WIFI enabled classrooms
- Smart boards
- Grolier taking pen to develop language skills very quickly
- Digital resources to learn Phonics
- Language and accent training software
Our M-Kids center shares an engaging environment which ensures that learning happens outside through various ways like:
Reading sessions: Students are frequently taken out to the garden or they sit in open air for guided reading sessions
Role Play Areas: Role play is an essential part of learning in the early years. Our role play areas cover the entire range of activities that children might wish to engage in.
Physical Play Areas: Indoor and outdoor playgrounds are equipped with the latest equipment for physical education, social development and gross motor skill development. Whether indoor or outdoor, our play areas have sufficient space for children to run around and stretch their physical selves.
Sensory Development Areas: The Early Years section has dedicated areas and play equipments to ensure development and exploration of all the five senses.
Skill Development Areas: Each classroom and the school as a whole is equipped with toys and games selected to enhance core cognitive functioning – puzzles, construction corners, number games, obstacle courses and craft work for example.
Arts Centre: This area is specifically designed for the creative arts where children engage in music, drawing and painting (using different media), dancing, acting, storytelling and public speaking.
At M.Kids, the aim of our library is to support the curriculum, promote literacy, and foster a love of reading. We offer a wide range of reading materials and hard cover picture books which are child friendly and easy to use. Our library also supports the curriculum through the purchase of materials that are appropriate for the age and instructional needs of the staff. A variety of reading promotions (i.e. Book Week, Reading Week, Reading with Parents Day) aim to encourage and support literacy.
The most important goal of our school library is to encourage students to read and teach them about sound and phonics. The purpose of our library is to stimulate reading for pleasure, guide towards good reading habits and stimulate lifelong learning through the love of reading.
M. Kids is a home to a wonderful outdoor jungle Gym that is built to accommodate 25-30 children at a time. We have extra ordinary swings and sports equipment inside the arena for children to spend quality time in developing their fine and gross motor skills. We also have an indoor Ball Pool and Spring Jump to let the children play there, relax and feel enthusiastic during their leisure time.


Ask any one of the moving companies who've helped me set up shop over the years and they can verify that I have a thing for books. A big thing for books. A big, freakin' thing.
My tiny condo is overflowing with hardbacks and paperbacks, even though I keep making an effort to sort through and downsize. My book collecting habit started early and I feel pretty certain I was the only kindergartner with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf in my room that covered most of one wall. (I, um, also began my still-with-me habit of being a perpetually late library book returner. What can I say. I've got to have the occassional flaw...)
Now that my friends are all spawning, I seem to find myself wandering around in the children's section of book stores more and more. All of which has me reminiscing about my favorite childhood books.
Thanks to the parents, who are equally voracious readers, I managed to read most of the Caldecott Medal and Newbery Medal winners growing up. But I couldn't get enough of the childhood staples like Paddington Bear, Babar, Angelina Ballerina, Corduroy, Petunia the Goose, Curious George, Berenstain Bears, and more. I still have copies of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day on my shelf and recently informed my Facebook friends that I was debating moving to Australia. I've also got a beautifully bound hardback Paddington collection.
Remember George and Martha and their effort to make pea soup? Madeline and her misadventures with the twelve little girls in two straight lines? Eloise who had the coolest life because she got to live in New York's The Plaza Hotel? (I stayed in the Plaza with my mom for a girls' weekend in my early 20s. We discussed Eloise over $14 martinis. It was totally worth it.)
So tell me, what were your favorites? Why did/do you love them? And what books do you want to make sure are on your now or future kids' bookshelves?
Want some inspiration? Check out the Children's Literature Book Club, a cool blog for grownups who still love to read stuff for the ankle-biting set.

I was kind of surprised by my reaction to this book. I kind of swung between, "meh," and "Oh!"The Otherworld, Tir na Nog, and Faerie courts seem to be a current popular topic in YA. I've run across quite a few books lately that retread the ground of classic fairy legends, and I've honestly been a bit disappointed at the lack of anything new or innovative. In this book, we're introduced to the Iron Fey, which is a bit akin to the idea of gods of technology, as seen in American Gods. Basically, the Fey exist because of the creativity and imagination of mankind, and when man started working and dreaming metal and machining, the Iron Fey were born. They hid from other Fey because iron is traditionally and well known to be anathema to the Fey.It's an interesting twist on an old story -- anyone with a passing familiarity of fairy legends knows about the winter and summer courts (some legends also speak of autumn and spring courts), and we're familiar with injunctions such as, "Don't drink/ eat anything while you're in faerie," and "Don't listen to faerie music," and, "Don't dance at a faerie ball." All these were given their nod, the faeries were presented as otherwordly, beautiful, and terrible. But it was the Iron Fey that were the most intriguing, and it is the Iron Fey that make me want to keep reading the series -- it's a new twist, a different way of telling and looking at an old, familiar story. Otherwise, the book is average. As far as pacing and plot structure go, it's well done. As far as description and dialogue go, it seems a bit choppy and rough occasionally, but overall is good. Since it's the first in a three-book series, the writing can only go up!

Aphasia Readers LLCaphasiareaders.com/
Aphasia Readers was created by the husband-and-wife team, Ryan and Anna Teal. Ryan had a massive stroke at the age of thirty-four, which left him with aphasia and apraxia. Throughout his recovery, the repetition of reading aloud seemed to be a tried-and-true form of speech practice with promising results. However, the only books available to practice on a simple level were children’s books. As an adult, reading these types of books felt a little demeaning. Although Ryan and Anna had many good laughs reading about “a trip to grandma’s house,” they quickly realized a need for simple, short readers with adult-themed content to support those in the aphasia community.After more than a year in the making and extensive collaboration with the renowned University of Michigan Aphasia Program at the University Center for Language and Literacy and input from top neurological teams, they finally wrote their first book of Aphasia Readers for adults. Their ultimate hope is to provide accessible and affordable supplementary speech practice tools for others in the aphasia community to help pave the way for a successful recovery. A portion of the proceeds from each book goes back into supporting aphasia awareness and helps others pay for much-needed intensive speech therapy.Aphasia Readers: Level 1 has six sessions for practice.Session 1: A Good MorningSession 2: Dressed To ImpressSession 3: PetsSession 4: A Walk in the ParkSession 5: Tech TalkSession 6: Ordering OutAll sessions include simple, functional phrases with icons placed above certain words to help with word retrieval. The reader can practice the dialogue by themselves or with a loved one. There are customizable sections and fun photos to write about at the end of each section to help with writing practice. We've included a handy pocket on the back inside cover to store additional speech printouts or our fridge functional phrases that can be found on our website.


By the end of the 19th century, English was the official language of the British Empire, but the English-speaking world wasn’t completely at peace with its native tongue.
The British Government had to make do with a limited number of foreign languages, and the lack of a universal standard made it difficult to maintain its official languages.
The result was a bewildering array of English-to-Hindi translations, some of which were far from ideal.
For example, when the English language was first introduced to India, it had been translated into Sanskrit by a missionary named Dr. George R. Balfour.
That work, known as the “English Mission” and later known as “the British Mission to India,” ended in 1857.
But it was a far cry from the translations of the next century that would dominate the history of language in India.
In those early years, the British Government took a keen interest in creating an official language, but that interest quickly faded when India began to become the new industrial powerhouse that the British had always wanted.
The colonial government began to worry about the growing influence of Indian culture and literature, and by the time the British began to work with India, they knew it would have to be something more than a “language of the people.”
The result, as it turned out, was a series of translation projects.
These projects took a number of different forms, and they would eventually lead to the current English-language version of the Indian language, the official Hindi language.
The official Hindi-English translation, known colloquially as the Standard Hindi, is a version of Hindi that is the most widely used.
It is the one that is used in official government offices and in many other aspects of Indian life.
The Hindi version has been in use since at least the 1950s.
In fact, the English translation is so popular that it has a special Hindi name.
The original version of India was actually written in the original language.
In the early 1700s, a group of translators named Sir John Pindar published an article that outlined their plans for translating India into English.
Pindartar’s translation was not a particularly comprehensive work, but he had a vision that India could become a more sophisticated and industrialized nation, one that was both more cosmopolitan and more tolerant of foreigners.
He called for a translation that was more “modern, modern, modern.”
The English translation of the Standard Indian was born.
In its early days, the Standard had a number and variety of flaws, including a very wide range of spellings, a lack of spelling-corrections, and an overly verbose vocabulary.
In addition, the translation had to be fairly precise, since it was written in Sanskrit and it was difficult to translate it into English without some linguistic tricks.
In 1875, the standard was revised to include many more spelling-improvements, but this did not mean that the Standard could be used for everyday use.
In 1893, the first English-written translation of India, the Official Hindi- English, was published.
It was the first translation of Indian language into English, and it is widely regarded as the first successful translation of an official English-medium language into an official Hindi one.
This was the beginning of a long, and long-lasting relationship between the English and the Hindi communities of India.
Today, the two languages have many differences, but they both have many similarities.
The most important differences are that the official English translation differs from the official Indian version in two crucial ways: the spelling of some words has been changed to be more modern, and some grammatical errors have been fixed.
The spelling of “lady” in the official Standard Hindi has been replaced with “lover.”
And while the spelling and grammar of “fart” in “The Lord of the Rings” has been updated, the spelling “farty” in The Hobbit has not.
These changes have had a profound effect on the way people use English and Hindi, as people in India often use them in conversation to describe different kinds of bodily functions, such as the smell of the fart or the taste of the gravy.
The English and Indian languages are both spoken in different parts of the world, but in India, where English is the lingua franca, and Hindi is the dominant language, there are few people who speak both languages at the same time.
English-as-a-foreign-language English is still the lingual medium of choice in many parts of India and other parts of Asia, but there are still a few exceptions.
In India, people generally don’t use English in everyday life, and even in English-dominated areas, English-only languages are often spoken by native speakers.
The situation is even more complicated in the United States.
While most Americans have no idea that English is actually a foreign language, they do know that it is the main international language

I’ve seen many different parts and kinds of libraries. Because they all contained a magnificent mixture of personalities and services, each one had a distinctly different culture. I actually didn’t start library school until I had experience in my fifth library, when I felt I was confident about which kinds of libraries might be a good fit for me.
It can be really educational, and even inspiring, to peek inside of other people’s libraries. In the following photos you’ll see what sticks out to me at PLRC.
Located on Chicago Avenue in the Streeterville/Gold Coast area, we’re in a fabulous spot. On this side of the library you can see downtown, most notably the Hancock building.
The lake side of the building is also pretty stunning (and, frankly, just as procrastination-inducing!). In the summer you’ll see tons of boat traffic in the area. To the right, you’ll see Navy Pier, which is a hubbub of tourist activity. The next picture is a close-up of the Ferris wheel (you don’t get much more Chicago than the Ferris wheel!).
Because of our grand views of the lake, the inside of the library has kind of a nautical theme: cool colors, whites, blues and greys. I love, love, love it — these railings always remind me of being me of being on a cruise ship! Alas, we don’t have a lido deck… yet.
The “Supreme Court and Pop Culture” display, located right by the front doors, is pretty much permanent. It’s one of several examples of our staff’s sense of humor. Law libraries may appear to be stoic institutions, but as this display (by the reference librarian Marcia Lehr) shows, some of us aren’t afraid to explore the fun side of the discipline.
Several of us love reality tv, and we love to talk about reality tv even more. My colleague, Jeff in government documents, came up with the idea to make dioramas with pictures of the contestants on shows like America’s Next Top Model (shown above), So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, etc. Every week, the day after the show we meet in the reference room to discuss how awesome/utterly horrifying the show was. At this same meeting, we ceremoniously cross-out the people who left the show.
Here’s my cubicle. That I’m allowed to take such liberties is a testament to the open-mindedness we have at our workplace. Some highlights: a Lexis Nexis slinky, a cover from a newspaper illustrating the coming onslaught of cicadas, a poster for the Latino Film Festival, postcards from my hiking trip to Machu Picchu…
And on the other wall is Kurt Vonnegut’s obit by Howard Zinn, the UC-San Diego seal (my dream library is the Geisel Library), a Sony Reader ad a patron ripped out from a magazine and gave to me because of its silly “Sexier than a librarian (your librarian may vary)” slogan.
Check it out: we have a treasure room! But it’s only for the hardiest of scholars. .. At least, that’s what I thought when I first saw this sign. Honestly, until I worked on this project I’d never noticed it. As my coworkers and I giggled about it, the director of the library heard us, and came over to explain that while it is indeed a treasure room, Hardy isn’t an adjective, it’s a noun: a person, in fact, who donated money that was used to create the original library archive.
In closing, I’d like to invite you to submit your own Tour de Library entry. If you’re interested, ask yourself: what makes your library your library? We always think about Library as Place in terms of what patrons think; this is an opportunity to see what is important to us! Don’t feel you should limit yourself to what you see here –whatever makes your library special!
Do you have a concept you would like to be featured on the Young Librarian Series? Send an email with your idea to: email@example.com or visit the SUBMISSIONS page for more details! Thanks for reading and we’ll see you next week!


Join Devi and Holistic Educator Julie Archambault and learn how to “sex up your life” in this fascinating and revealing portrait of sex.
Everyone is dealing with something —and that something has a lot to teach you about yourself. Sex Up Your Life offers a unique Continuum of Connection for Sex— brought to life by collected stories of struggle and triumph— to guide you from destructive disconnect to blissful sexual connection, and offer you a whole new possibility for sex in your life.
“A true masterpiece that encourages readers to uncover the truth about their relationship to sex. The premise is that we can only heal our sexual issues if we look at the shadow side of sex squarely in the eye. This remarkable work does exactly that, covering everything from pornography to sexual abuse trauma. But then—Julie takes us a leap year further. She shows us that by examining our sexual wounds, we can transform sex into a means for enlightenment. I fully recommend this evolutionary approach to sexual healing.”
—Cyndi Dale, author of 27 bestselling books including The Subtle Body series and Energetic Boundaries
“In our high speed lives, where what’s authentic and what’s fake are obscured, and fear of failure, climate change, political leaders, dating apps and each other, can lead to mushrooming anxiety—relationships to ourselves and each other may feel like permanent states of being adrift, often in despair. In Sex Up Your Life, Julie Archambault has paved a new and exciting path back to our natural state of health, harmony and happiness through the most overlooked portal: good sex. Compassionate, deeply researched and peppered with fascinating stories, this book is the reliable empowerment companion we’ve been missing. Read it, do the exercises and pass it on—the sexed up journey can transform us, and the world, in the most gratifying ways.”
—Caia Hagel, co-author of Girl Positive and co-founding editor-in-chief of SOFA magazine
“A brilliant commentary on the dark side of sex, the sexually derived wounds we carry and sex as the most powerful tool to awakening. Julie Archambault has done her research and presents her work in a colorful and lively way, masterfully interwoven with the occasional trigger warning as she leaves no stone unturned.”
—Catherine Mellon, online business coach for female entrepreneurs

Reading Group Guide
1. Does the fact that THE END OF ALWAYS is based on actual events shape the way you think about the story?
2. Rather than witnessing violence in THE END OF ALWAYS, we often see evidence of it on the bodies of women in the novel, including Marie and her mother. Why do you think the author focuses more on the aftermath of violence than on depicting detailed scenes of the violence itself?
3. German myths and stories are sewn into the narrative of THE END OF ALWAYS. How did these stories contribute to Marie’s ideas about the world? How have fairy tales and fables contributed to yours?
4. Through-out the novel, men exert their control over women in many ways: Martha is forbidden to see George; Hattie is forced to wear leg braces she does not need; August has Marie quit her job and does not provide food for her. There are many other examples. How do you feel about these instances? Do some men still try to control women in the same way today? Why do you think some of the men in the novel control the women closest to them?
5. Almost as soon as she goes out to work, Marie begins to hear stories about young women who have met bad ends. Are you familiar with stories like these from our own time? Do the stories of 1907 and 2014 have anything in common?
6. Does Marie change over the course of the book? If so, does she change for the better or for the worse? Do you think she could have found another way out? What do you think of the choices she made?
7. Marie and her sister Martha have a complex relationship. Do you think that Martha has Marie’s best interests in mind? If you were Martha, what advice and guidance would you have offered Marie?
8. Is the death of Marie’s mother at the hands of her father truly an accident, a time when his violence went too far, or is it something more calculated and sinister?
9. August’s love for Marie seems to be partly rooted in the reality that he cannot have her immediately and must try to find her. For her part, once they meet, Marie falls under August’s spell so easily. Why does August seem to equate love with making Marie his own? Why does Marie fall in love with him so fast?
10. What does America look like in THE END OF ALWAYS? Does it seem familiar? Why or why not?
11. The day after Marie is with August, Inge simplifies an important power dynamic at work in the book: “A girl has one thing and one thing only and when that is gone, it is gone. There is no getting it back.” Do you think society’s relationship to virginity has changed since the early 20th-century? How? Is it easier to be sexually active as an unmarried girl or woman today? Does a girl still have “one thing and one thing only?”
12. Not all of the men are bad. Marie encounters some men—either directly or by proxy—who show her kindness. Who are they? Does the fact that these men have more power than the men in the immigrant community make a difference or are they, too, just exercising their control?
13. Could Edwin ever exist as a love interest for Marie? Or is he something more important?
14. Bertha is a kind and generous friend. What is it about her presence that aides Marie in escaping her situation?
15. Marie is born into a violent home. Despite her best efforts, she continues on in that tradition. What do you think accounts for this cycle? Do you think the cycle can be stopped?
16. What sort of future do you see for Marie and her child? Do you believe the ending is hopeful or resigned?

Reading is a HUGE passion of mine, but being a college student means that I don’t always have the time to read the books I want to read. And even though I often end up liking books assigned by professors, I always can’t wait for summer break, so I can read whatever sparks my interest. So I thought I’d create a post that includes some of my all time favorite books, as well as some of the books I plan to read this summer in order to give you guys some suggestions for great summer reading!
SiennaSays’ Suggested Reads
The books above (and below) are some of my favorite books I’ve read over the past few years. Instead of writing full summaries, which are basically just on the back of the book, I chose a few words I thought best described each of them to include below!
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler: Thoughtful, emotional, insightful, witty, and beautifully illustrated.
Fun fact: You might know Daniel Handler as Lemony Snicket, the author of A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the feeling of dark playfulness he’s known for lives in these books as well.
I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson: Poetic, romantic, mysterious, emotional, and full of magical realism (this is by far my favorite book I’ve read all year).
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson: Poetic, insightful, romantic, honest, and bittersweet.
Fun fact: Jandy Nelson started out as a poet, and you can feel it in her writing. Her books deal with real life concepts and issues, but have a feeling of magic and wonder.
Wink, Poppy, Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke: A beautiful, dark, twisted, almost fairytale – I couldn’t put it down.
Another thing I love to do in the summer is re-read an old favorite series, something I can really dive into and enjoy. For years I re-read all seven Harry Potter books every summer, without fail. But this year I lent my books to my cousin, and I decided to give another series a second look.
I was obsessed with Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments Series and I’m really loving it a second time around. And yes, I know there are another three books to the series, but in my opinion the first three were the best, so they’re the ones I’m gonna re-read!
Last but not least, here a few of the books I’m planning on reading this summer.
Hopefully I get enough time to read these books so I can write detailed reviews for them! Fingers crossed!
Thanks so much for reading, and stay tuned for book reviews and other posts like this!

“‘Soles For Sale’ forges a new understanding of the African American experience during the 80s and 90s. The book is a profound statement about the implications of the US position on the African American community. It’s a practical book full of glimpses into the lives of community members affected by the drug epidemic. It`s a must read for practitioners and scholars looking to shed light on helping the community, as well as parents and children seeking to prevent their presence in another chapter of any of this country`s industrial complexes.” – Mentor, Musician, and Humanitarian Kweku Brian
Written by Mora Spicer II and Hassahn Liggins, “Soles for Sale” gives a unique yet detailed history of a phenomenon, which hit the Black Community with a devastating blow in the middle to late 1980’s and continued through the end of the twentieth century. Effects of crack cocaine have continued well into the twenty first century. This book details most, if not all, of the “players” or contributors to the devastation, which nearly generated a knockout blow to the Black Community.


Research dedicated to the original Book of Mormon manuscripts, with comparisons to the current edition, and possible source texts.
Compare the coalesced and unedited Original and Printer’s Manuscripts side-by-side to the Current Edition.
Each difference is displayed in RED.
Easily identify variations currently adopted to the Book of Mormon from the original documents.
Explore the coalesced and unedited Original and Printer’s Manuscripts. Due to sparse punctuation, and to aid the reader, the text is divided into sense lines.
This volume is closer to the words falling from the lips of Joseph Smith than any other version of the Book of Mormon previously available.
Many verses in the Book of Mormon parallel the King James edition of The Old and New Testament, including The Apocrypha. This project highlights all matching 3+ word strings.
Matching text can also be found in pre-1830 revelations, Joseph Smith’s history, noteworthy regional news items, and published works.


In this refreshingly entertaining book, The Wisdom of Art, is a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling and paintings, the author invites the reader into his world.
George Kleiber, Cardiologist and artist, reveals the heart of an artist — free, textured and transcendent. The author serves up 24 bite sized chapters full of moments of pure joy, pieces of heart, pieces of soul, and small pieces of his personal life. The stories are both serious, inspiring, enlightening, hilarious, disturbing and mysterious. Either way we get glimpses into the artists spirit, philosophy, sage wisdom and an occasional swear word.
All this helps you to identify and change. All art is kind of a confession, its meaning is not necessarily implied, there are only multiple readings and there’s always some mystery at the heart of it. You understand how to love and see more clearly, how to change what you don’t love by immersing yourself at the intersection of creativity and inspiration.
Whether you are looking to explore your world through the lens of an artist or looking to find something else in the artist’s collection you will meet your heart’s desire. We are helped to grow and evolve in understanding ourselves, each other and the world around us.
A bonus: there are secretly two books here, so if you ever wanted to read two books at once and enjoy both here is your chance! Here the paintings are accompanied by the narrative for a mind bending read. Few artists even explain their work, here is your chance to reflect between the text and painting and find your own quiet solitude.

Last update: 07/2014 - Brahms films, new management


Daylight factor has long been the predominant metric to evaluate daylight performance. Recently, the profession has moved toward annual dynamic daylight metrics such as useful daylight illuminance and daylight autonomy, which are based on absolute values of time varying daylight illuminance for a period of full year. As opposed to static daylight metrics that only concentrate on individual sky conditions, such as the widely used daylight factor, these metrics provide a more comprehensive way to measure illuminance for a wide range of sun positions and sky conditions. Although there is a growing consensus assigning importance to dynamic daylight metrics, there is no common understanding of how to integrate the preference and behaviour of building occupants in assessing the applicability of these metrics. In fact, it is when these occupancy observations and quantitative measurements are taken together that the importance of daylight performance metrics is fully realized. This study seeks to investigate the extent to which the influence of daylight on behaviour can be predicted, and for this the behaviour investigated is seating preferences of occupants in open plan, hot-desking spaces in two university libraries in Sheffield: Western Bank Library and the Information Commons. The results suggest that the association between daylight and seat choice may not be strong, and that any effect is better associated with daylight factor than with useful daylight illuminance or daylight autonomy.

In First Peoples’ cultures, knowledge was traditionally kept in an oral tradition. The oral tradition, still highly valued, includes oral narratives (or stories) that are used to teach skills, transmit cultural values and mores, convey news, record family and community histories, and explain our natural world (EFP 12 Teacher Resource Guide). In addition to expressing spiritual and emotional truth (e.g., via symbol and metaphor), story provides a record of literal truth (e.g., regarding events and/or situations). This tradition (both content and process) helps to create the learners’ concept of the world. The emphasis on history and story help learners to organize new concepts that develop from their learning.
“For countless centuries, First Nations knowledge, traditions, and cultures have been passed down from one generation to another in stories, and narratives, as well as through songs, dances and ceremonial artifacts. Before Europeans arrived in BC, First Nations had oral cultures: their languages had no written form. The oral tradition was integrated into every facet of life and was the basis of the education system. The education system in an oral tradition is very precise and procedural: the information is taught to the next generation exactly as it was taught to the one before. Stories are used because they are easier to remember: you learn by listening closely and remembering. The oral tradition passed on the spiritual beliefs of the people and the lineage of families. It recorded ownership of property and territory, political issues, legal proceedings and survival skills. The oral tradition also mapped the geography of an area, and it recorded history.”
BC First Nations Studies Textbook
First Peoples’ knowledge is also developed in a historical and cultural context; that is why there is an emphasis in First Peoples’ cultures to keep the oral tradition alive, so that as each individual grows, he or she is aware of what has come before and how it influences both what is now, and how each person came to be (often shared in explanations of lineage and/or affiliation – a common First Peoples’ method of introduction – which also emphasize the importance of relationship).
Relation to Other Educational Theory
As has been noted elsewhere, constructivists also believe that knowledge is created by individuals in a historical and cultural context (von Glasersfeld, 2008).
Implications for Classroom and School Include:
- Using story and narrative to teach across curricular areas.
- Providing learners with opportunities to share their stories, and their voices.
- Understanding the oral tradition, as well as its value and legal implications in Canada.
- Providing learners with the opportunities to listen to and connect with the stories of others.
- Understanding that all education systems are constructs based on specific sets of cultural values; what is considered important to learn is based on sets of the cultural values in a particular context, including the place (land) where the learning occurs.
- Thinking critically about what we consider important for students to learn and about how we choose to structure their learning experiences.
Relevant Core Competencies
- Encompasses the set of abilities that students use to impart and exchange information, experiences and ideas, to explore the world around them, and to understand and effectively engage in the use of digital media (2014, BC Ministry of Education).
- Involves making judgments based on reasoning: students consider options; analyze these using specific criteria; and draw conclusions and make judgments. Critical thinking competency encompasses a set of abilities that students use to examine their own thinking, and that of others, about information that they receive through observation, experience, and various forms of communication (2015 BC Ministry of Education).
- Involves the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of all the facets that contribute to a healthy sense of oneself. It includes awareness and understanding of one’s family background, heritage(s), language(s), beliefs, and perspectives in a pluralistic society (2014, BC Ministry of Education).


John Grisham has written a number of books now, and I have enjoyed many of them. One I read a while back was called “The Testament” and it dealt with the outcome of a hand written will. The concept was a bit outlandish as most novels are, but as it progressed, it all came together very nicely. Joan and I both thought it was one of the better Grisham books.
I have just been treated to another excellent book by Grisham. It is simply called “The Confession”. If it is not a novel about a fact, it is a novel certainly based on fact. It has to do with a young black man charged with murder in a small town in Texas, and the idea of capital punishment all over the US, but in particular in the state of Texas. I will not spoil it for anybody, but it starts off well, slows for a short time and becomes gripping as it nears the middle of the book. It stays that way to the end. I recommend both of these books. They are available as epub copies from the library, to read on an eReader. It is likely that they will also be available in print form.
There is another book, I read a while ago, called “Flyboys”. It was written by James Bradley. His father was one of the people who raised the American Flag on Iwo Jima after the invasion. His father was not a combatant, but a navy medic. I particularly enjoyed the early part of the book that deals with some of the history and causes of WW II, going back to just after the 13 colonies, when America was in an expansion mood. The WW II flyboys were 5 US pilots shot down by the Japanese off a small island who were captured, and their ordeal following the capture and their treatment. A very good read if you are interested in the history of the Pacific war.
One more before I close this off. I have been a fan of a guy named Garrison Keillor for some time. I have caught his work on PBS TV and radio over the years. Mainly his work is about life in the fictitious town of Lake Wobegon. This book is called “Leaving Home”. The town is populated by immigrants from the Scandinavian countries. Each chapter is self-contained, and deals with what starts as a slow week in Lake Wobegon. Some chapters are hilarious, some are sad, and some are a mixture, like bittersweet. It is a great bedside read.
