As a classicist with a focus on intertextuality and translation studies, my research reconceptualizes the ways in which Greco-Roman literature is appropriated and transformed from antiquity to the present day. In particular, I am interested in how formal properties of ancient texts are assigned meaning across different reception contexts. At the moment, I am writing my first monograph, entitled Homeric Translation in Antiquity, which challenges existing views of ancient translation by demonstrating the interconnectedness of interlingual (Greek-to-Latin) and intralingual (Greek-to-Greek) translations of Homer.
Homeric Translation in Antiquity
Abstract: This monograph, based on my dissertation, expands scholarly conceptions of translation through a comprehensive study of translations of the Homeric epics in Greco-Roman antiquity. By broadening conventional notions of ancient translation formally, linguistically, and chronologically, this research argues for the pivotal role of Homeric translation as a collective form of textual production. In particular, my project encompasses two types of materials previously overlooked. Firstly, by developing a framework for the concept of intralingual translation—that is, rewording in the same language—of Homer in ancient Greek texts, I extend the scope of translation to Homeric glossaries, lexica, hypotheses, and paraphrases, which have been traditionally studied under separate rubrics. By treating these texts as translations instead, my dissertation proposes a diachronic network of Homeric reception across Greek and Latin texts. Secondly, while existing scholarship in ancient translation focuses on elite literature, I highlight the important contribution of non-elite texts to Homeric translation, including papyri and inscriptions, many of which are connected to the ancient classroom. By examining structural and textual parallels between these non-canonical Homeric translations and their canonical counterparts, my book reframes ancient rewritings of Homeric epic across different material contexts and social spheres.
Pluralist Perspectives in the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae
Forthcoming in Trends in Classics 15.1, 2023, pp. 219–241.
Abstract: This paper aims to demonstrate that the Thesaurus linguae Latinae, the world’s largest lexicon of ancient Latin and a traditional project rooted in 19th-century philology, makes a significant contribution to today’s intellectual diversity within Classical Studies. By analysing a corpus of 270 lemmas, ranging from r to razīmus, I argue that the TLL’s quietly revolutionary mode of philological pluralism is realized at three levels of lexicographic content: the selection of primary material (choosing textual passages of ancient Latin to be included in the lexicon); the arrangement of individual lexicographic entries (structuring the presentation of primary text in each article); and the annotation of passages, rubrics, and entire articles (providing metalinguistic description, explanation, and commentary). As a whole, my analysis presents the first-ever account of how the TLL systematically reshapes established lexicographic and scholarly practices.
The Secondary Incipit of the Odyssey (Od. 9.39): Quotation, Translation, and Adaptation in the Ancient Reception of Homer
Published in Classical Philology 117.3, 2022, pp. 411–437. DOI: 10.1086/720155
Abstract: Although recent scholarship has studied the incipit as a privileged intertextual locus in Latin poetry, the comparable role of work-internal beginnings in classical literature has been largely overlooked. This article argues that the opening sentence of Odysseus’ Apologue functions as the Odyssey’s secondary beginning from Odysseus’ point of view—a role that ancient audiences of the poem recognized and developed. Specifically, I demonstrate that later Greek and Latin authors use the Odyssey’s secondary incipit to emphasize narratorial subjectivity and to mark new literary beginnings. As a result, my research calls for a reconsideration of secondary incipits in Greco-Roman literature in general.
The Ilias Latina in the Context of Ancient Epitome Translation
Published in Ilias Latina: Text, Interpretation, and Reception (Mnemosyne Supplements, vol. 443), ed. M. J. Falcone and C. Schubert (Leiden: Brill), 2021, pp. 39–66. DOI: 10.1163/9789004469532_004
Abstract: This book chapter argues that, on the basis of significant shared features, ancient Latin verse summaries of the Homeric epics should be assigned to a distinct literary category, which has not been previously recognized. The principal purpose of establishing this ancient poetic subgenre—which I call “Homeric epitome translation”—is to situate the one fully extant representative of the group, the Ilias Latina, among other only minimally preserved texts, such as Livius Andronicus’ Odusia, the post-Ennian Odyssea, the Iliad translations of Cn. Matius and Ninnius Crassus, and the Homeric versions by Attius Labeo. Latin Homeric verse epitomes draw on two related literary categories, Hellenistic epyllia and Homeric prose hypotheses, to forge a generic identity that is essentially new. A comparative analysis of three intertextual procedures—incipit and explicit translation, formulaic subversion, and combinatorial allusion—demonstrates the constitutive characteristics of the category and the Ilias Latina’s place within it.
Translating the Odyssey: Andreas Divus, Old English and Ezra Pound’s Canto I
Published in The Classics in Modernist Translation, ed. M. Hickman and L. Kozak (London: Bloomsbury Academic), 2019, pp. 33–43. DOI: 10.5040/9781350040984.ch-003
Abstract: This book chapter argues that Ezra Pound’s verse translation of the Odyssey in Canto I is significantly mediated through the Renaissance Latin prose translation of the epic by Andreas Divus and does not, as is commonly assumed, draw directly on Homer’s Greek for its lexical, syntactical, and metrical choices. Far from a simple aid to understanding the Greek (a so-called “crib”), Divus’ Odyssea instead becomes a programmatic model of epic secondariness for Pound, who both invokes and deploys the Renaissance scholar-translator as a template for his own poetic persona. Moreover, by extending this focus on mediating texts to Pound’s reworking of the Anglo-Saxon The Seafarer in the same poem, I demonstrate the important role that prior translations play in Pound’s epic project overall. Consequently, my research is able to show that the concept of retranslation, long central to scholarly discussions of ancient epic poetry, also applies to the modern reception of the genre.

|Mr. Terry B. Dunham|
June 22, 1940 - November 2, 2012 Terry B. Dunham, 72, who died Nov 2, 2012, was considered one of the world's leading experts on the heritage of the Buick automobile, creating a book, a national enthusiasts' organization, and a website for vintage car owners and major magazine articles.
Terry, of Apopka FL, had been active until recent days despite an illness of several years. He is survived by his wife, Jeanne (Golden), who was his high school sweetheart in their home town of Howell, MI; their daughters Terrilyn Hundeby (David) of Orlando and Traci Garde (Glenn) of Atlanta; grandchildren Paul & Shauna Hundeby, and Shelby & Sydney Garde. Also surviving is his beloved mother-in-law, Helen Golden of Brighton, MI., sister Janet Kerr of Cedarville and brother Roger Dunham of Howell. He was preceded in death by his parents Lawrence and Ellen Dunham. Funeral services pending at McDonald Funeral Home in Howell, MI., 517-546-2800
Terry was born June 22, 1940 in Howell. He was a 1963 graduate of Western Michigan University, where he majored in automotive engineering technology. He was employed in sales and service operations of General Motors' Pontiac Motor Division from 1963 – 1992. After retirement from GM, he worked for Engineering Analysis in Detroit, handling product liability investigations for GM, Ford, and Chrysler, his specialty being a fire expert on cars. Those assignments often took him to the Caribbean, Mexico, and even Casablanca.
He was particularly well known for his book, "The Buick: A Complete History" , an award winning and critically acclaimed book that came to be accepted by Buick Motor Co. and auto historians as the automaker's definitive history. It was first published in 1980 and then in five more updated editions up to Buick's centennial in 2003. In 1975 he suggested the idea for a major Buick history book to Automotive Quarterly (AQ). After conducting research across the United States and England the book was published in 1980 and co-authored with his good friend Lawrence R. Gustin.
His family interests included coaching soccer and being a foster parent along with his wife rescuing kittens and helping them getting adopted through a rescue group.

On February 21, 2017, Los Altos Neighborhood Library at 5614 E. Britton Drive in the Los Altos area of Long Beach celebrated its 60th birthday. It is my pleasure to give you a look at that day in 1957, the neighborhood it served and the man responsible for much of the development of Long Beach.
Los Altos Library
|Artist rendering of the Los Altos branch library|
In February 1957, the Long Beach library’s bookmobile which parked one day a week at Bellflower and Stearns was replaced by a brand new $132,000 library. The Los Altos Library opened February 21, 1957, with a selection of 15,000 books and had enough room to add 20,000 more. Special features, according to the Independent Press Telegram included “acoustical tile ceilings, air conditioning, and a return book slot for the convenience of patrons.”
|A bookmobile served the community|
before the branch was built
The Los Altos library was the first new library since the new North branch had been built in 1951, with four more (Bret Harte, Dana, Bach & Bay Shore) in the planning stages with a long range goal of giving all Long Beach residents a library within a one mile reach of their home. Los Altos was also the city’s first library which “started from nothing.” Other branches had started in small rented spaces before moving to permanent quarters and had ample time to accumulate appropriate reading materials. Building a library full of books from scratch was a challenge. Los Altos needed technical books to support Douglas Aircraft personnel; reference works to help college students; and general literature to support the reading demands of the public both young and old.
The library opened with three librarians, one who worked with children, and another with teens and adults. The branch librarian was responsible for overall operations and outreach to community groups. There were also two clerks, a page and maintenance worker. Those used to using the bookmobile were greeted with a familiar face, Mildred Snider, promoted to branch librarian.
On Saturday, February 23rd, 1957, Los Altos patrons formed long lines at the new library, many there for the branch's first children's program. Four special events were scheduled for the library's first full week of in operation. Miss Nina Boyle, film librarian came from the Main library to conduct a cinema night on Monday; Tuesday a book review program was hosted by Mildred Snider, assisted by Mrs. Harriett Covey, Mrs. Alice Titus, and Miss Alice Walsh. Mrs. Mary Pearson, Main library recordings librarian, presented a music program on Wednesday. And on Thursday Miss Blanche Collins, assistant librarian in charge of branches, served as moderator for a book discussion.

in 1977 at the dedication
of the new Main library
which she planned
Planned to serve a community of 46,000, the branch was built on land given by developer Lloyd S. Whaley in 1951, with architects William A. Lockett and Richard L. Popper hired to design the brick structure with 6,900 square feet of floor space. In December 1955 plans for Los Altos were approved by the City Council. Ground was broken on July 19, 1956, opening Thursday, February 21, 1957.
|Original floor plan for Los Altos Branch Library.|
Whaley also donated land on the north and south sides of Atherton Street for a park in March 1950. Originally called the Los Altos Recreation Center, the name was changed in December 1954 to Whaley Park. He also donated 11 acres for Scherer Park (430 E. 49th Street) in Bixby Knolls and five acres for Los Altos Park (481 Stearns Street).
Lloyd Whaley & Los Altos
In 1935, 29-year-old Lloyd S. Whaley left the farm life he knew in
Nebraska and headed west. He took a job as a laborer in the ’s lumberyards. While working there he befriended local
contractors and suppliers and soon found himself designing, building and
selling “speculative” houses near Port of Long Beach . This was just the start of what would become
a tremendous real estate career. In
1939, Whaley founded the Home Investment Co. and purchased land in Jordan
High School West Long Beach from rancher Jim Tolbert. Will-O-Vere Park, Whaley’s first major
housing effort, was built in the early 1940s north of Willow Street and west of
Santa Fe Avenue. He named the
developments' main drive “La Vere” after his wife, and dubbed a street ‘Rodloy”
for his sons Rodney and Lloyd Dale. Within 15 years he built 5000 homes, 525
rental units, and 35 commercial buildings, most in the Long Beach area.
During World War II, Whaley developed the Wrigley Terrace and
Heights neighborhoods, and transformed
the rolling knolls east of Long
Beach Boulevard and north of San Antonio Drive into Country Club
Manor, and Ridgewood Manor. Because of restrictions on materials for
wartime home builders, Whaley met his customers halfway by supplying them with a
concrete garage foundation that could be finished when the war was over. He later took care of his materials problems
by establishing the Whaley Lumber Company at Cherry Avenue and Artesia
Boulevard in North Long Beach. The
one-time lumberyard laborer also acquired two logging operations and sawmills
in Ridgewood Heights Northern California.
|Plans for Los Altos Manor. Lloyd Whaley on right.|
When the war ended, Whaley quickly positioned himself to serve the army of home buyers who soon would be getting their discharge papers. In April 1946, Whaley purchased several parcels of land from Susanna Bixby Bryant and created the area of
Long Beach which would become known as Los Altos.
Housing development with names such as Los Altos Terrace, Los Altos
Manor, University Manor, Park Estates and Los Altos Village popped up on land
once called “Alkali Flats” because of the strong alkaline content of its mostly
marshy soil. But Whaley didn’t forget
the woman who sold him the land. In
honor of Mrs. Bryant he named the new
post office the Bryant post office. He
also named Los Altos Village Bryant Road,
his most exclusive street in luxurious Park Estates, after the same family.
On May 9, 1948, developer Lloyd S. Whaley disclosed plans for his huge
Los Altos Park subdivision on Pacific Coast Highway, northeast of .
With architect Hugh Gibbs, Whaley was planning a $13 million business
and residential community which would include a civic building, church, theater
and 10-story hotel. The principal street
in the new Recreation Park Los Altos community was to be named
for Barbara Britton, a Long Beach
girl who won fame in motion pictures. Britton Drive would
connect the new shopping center with a 12-acre elementary school site.
|Los Altos Hardware store. 1951.|
In November 1948, Whaley broke ground for the first phase of his residential element --- Los Altos Terrace and Los Altos Manor. The Terrace and Manor combined had 1477 residences and a business center on
Bellflower Boulevard. In fact Bellflower Boulevard would be the
separating line between the two developments.
Homes started at $7850 and included a stove, refrigerator and a new
invention --- the garbage disposal.
Whaley’s plan for Los Altos
would win him first place in the National Association of Home Builders regional
building contest, and second place in the national contest.
By August 1949, construction had begun on the new shopping center to service Los Altos Terrace and Manor. The center, with a 141-foot frontage on the 2100 block of Bellflower, was designed with a large parking area at the rear. In addition, it came with a new-fangled concept --- air conditioning. The first structure in the new center was a $145,000 supermarket and drug store. A restaurant, gas station and a smaller market were already in operation. Plans also included a large variety store, hardware store, barber and beauty shop, baby shop and a shoe repair business.

is Stearns Street. On the south edge of the site,
new Britton Avenue is crossing the vacant land.
The second phase of residential construction was
located near the intersection of Los Altos Park Pacific
Coast Highway and East Anaheim Street. Residences here were individually designed
and custom built.
Whaley didn’t just limit himself to the Los Altos area. In 1949 he began developing “Country Club Manor” in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach. Two-bedroom homes started at $8300 and featured fireplaces, double garages, landscaping, dinettes, floor furnaces and wood shingle roofs. No down payment were needed if the buyer was a G.I. and loans were available at 4% interest. Nor did he limit his building to
Long Beach. As president
of Mesa Development Company, Whaley built the multimillion-dollar Paradise
Valley Country Club and luxury home complex just outside of . Las Vegas, Nevada
In December 1952, while laying out yet another Whaley development in the Los Altos area remains of a 1500 year old Indian village was unearthed. Parts of two skeletons, beads, tools and arrowheads were found when ground was broken for a new subdivision 300 yards east of Bellflower and a quarter of a mile north of Stearns. Remains of skunks, crows, coyotes, lizards, rats, mice, frogs and snakes were also unearthed. Trade goods with desert tribes from Palm Springs were also found, but nothing that showed Spanish influence. Archaeologists from the Southwest Museum and Long Beach State College believed the site was part of Puvungna, an ancient “holy” city.
The Native Americans who inhabited Puvungna were called “Tongva” which means “people of the earth.” These Indians later became known as Gabrielinos, after the San Gabriel Mission. According to researchers the tribe had a principal god named Chungichnish who emerged full grown from a spring on present day Rancho Los Alamitos. Southern California Native Americans, devoted to their belief in Chungichnish, made yearly pilgrimages to Puvunga (which can be translated as “The Gathering,” or “The Place of the Crowd.”) to honor their major god, as well as the sacred spring where they believed life on earth first emerged.
Later research determined the center of the village was 2 miles square bounded by present day Willow Street, Anaheim Road, Palos Verdes Street and Los Alamitos Boulevard.
Whaley, who died in 1973, would build more than 11,000 single-family residences in Long Beach, or as his advertisements like to tout, “150 miles of homes.” He was always willing to take risks. His business plan was simple: “Borrow a lot of money and hope to hell you can pay it back.”

“And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. “ – Genesis 1:21
Whales have been entwined with human religion, myth and legend for millennia, inspiring biblical passages and epic tales with their size, power, grace and intelligence. In today’s Moby Dick Big Read chapter, The Honor and Glory of Whaling Ishmael retells the story of Perseus and Andromeda, in which Perseus rescues the princess from a sea-monster. He also retells the story of St. George and the dragon. But Ishmael thinks the dragon must have been a whale, and revises the story to make St. George’s horse a seal. We are talking the opportunity to talk about some of the other cultural whale and dolphins stories that have been handed down over the centuries…here’s some highlights.
The island culture of Greece fostered a deep connection with the sea. Dolphins were believed to embody peaceful virtue and were the symbol of the Greek god Apollo. One myth tells of a dolphin saving the Greek poet Arion, a son of Apollo, after he was kidnapped and thrown overboard by pirates. Stories of dolphins helping sailors lost at sea were common and another Greek poet, Oppian, declared hunting them ‘immoral’.
Whales, and their relatives, also played a key part in the culture of coastal Native Americans. Inuit culture features a deity, in human form, named Big Raven who saves the world when he rescues a stranded whale. The Tlingit people of northern Canada tell the story of a hunter betrayed by his brother-in-law and left to drown. After making his way back to shore by saving the son of a sea lion chief he creates eight orcas to hunt down his brother. However, he later repented and ordered his creations to never again harm a human.
Other indigenous cultures such as the Maori also have a rich cultural connection with whales. In a similar story to the Tlingit, a Maori fisherman nearly drowns when his jealous brother sabotages his canoe but is saved by a water spirit in the form of a whale and transported to New Zealand. Whale riding is a common theme in Maori oral tradition and is featured in many tribal myths of the region.
Iceland, one of the few modern whaling nations, in legend holds whales in esteem. According to Icelandic lore, a man threw a stone at a fin whale. The stone lodged in the whale’s blowhole causing it to explode. The man was condemned and told not to go to sea for 20 years. However, he gave in to temptation in the 19th year and was tracked and killed by a whale. Like the elephant, the whale has a long memory in this story and while it can forgive, the offender must fully atone for their crime, or face the consequences.
An East African king is said to have once prayed for the ability to feed every animal on Earth. God, seeking to teach the enterprising king humility, brought forth a whale who ate all but a single bag of corn and told the king there were 70,000 more like him. The king understood the error in his ways and left the job of feeding the world to a higher authority, thanking the whale for the lesson.
In the Brazilian Amazon young girls were once advised to beware of charming hat-wearing strangers during the summer celebrations of Saint’s birthdays. According to legend, the comic looking boto, or river dolphin, transforms itself into a handsome man to woo women. Thankfully the boto cannot hide its blowhole so its disguise is easily foiled. Some say that, to this day, hat-wearing strangers are asked to prove they are not an amorous freshwater dolphin in disguise.
Given the sheer size and power of a whale one might expect these tales to invoke fear but the common theme of these tales is of the whale or dolphin as a benefactor. It is amazing to look back and observe the similarities of cultures thousands of miles away viewing whales as extraordinarily intelligent and benevolent beings. Separately, these peoples came across a large, powerful animal in the alien expanse of open water and all came to the same conclusion: that the whale is a powerful animal and one to be respected but not precisely feared.
And then, of course, there is the story of Jonah. Assigned to convert the hedonistic city of Nineveh, Jonah did not feel he was up to the task and fled to the port of Joppa (notably where Perseus slew a sea monster widely believed to be a whale). Jonah took to a ship which was soon caught in a viscous storm and fearing this was a divine punishment the crew threw him overboard, at his request. Jonah asked for mercy and was promptly swallowed by a whale which put him ashore three days and nights later a much humbler and obedient man.
There can be no doubt that the whale is a source of inspiration and awe for the human imagination. Since our infancy as a civilization we have understood the quiet power and intelligence of whales and woven them inextricably into our cultural conscience. As our relationship with the ocean has changed we seem to have lost some of the awe with which we first viewed it and its inhabitants, specifically the whale. If we are to protect both ourselves and the world around us we must learn to draw on the awe, reverence and respect we once imbued in the world.

The Vigilance Committee in Albany.
As the 1830’s drew to a close and the decade of the 1840’s began, committees of citizens were formed all across the north with the intention of protecting fugitive slaves from re-enslavement. As slave catchers sought fugitives vigilance committees provided legal assistance, food, clothing, money, sometimes employment, temporary shelter and assisted fugitives in making their way toward freedom. Albany had a vigilance committee in the early 1840’s and into the 1850’s.
Albany’s underground railroad efforts were not provided for solely by the vigilance committee. In the early 1840’s Stephen Myers’ Northern Star Association provided help for fugitives separately from the existing vigilance committee. There was even some hostility between Myers and members of the vigilance committee. An editorial in the December 8, 1842 edition of Myer’s Northern Star and Freemen’s Advocate newspaper reports that Rev. Charles Torrey criticized Myer’s group for not doing enough. Myers responds noting many that he helped with out the aid of the vigilance committee.
In the 1850’s Myer’s leadership was recognized by the Vigilance Committee and he became the principal agent for the committee’s work. He even served at the committee’s chairman for at least three years.
A flyer was circulated by the vigilance committee to solicit for clothing and support for fugitives coming to Albany. A careful examination of it yields many facts about the Underground Railroad effort in Albany.
Among the things that can be learned from this flyer are that the Vigilance Committee at one time maintained an office at 198 Lumber Street. This is the current day Livingston Avenue. Further, the names of the members of the Vigilance Committee are printed on the flyer.
This tells us that contrary to the reputation of the underground railroad for secrecy there was a public as well as a secret side to the movement.
Most of these individuals can be found in the City Directories of that period. There are others who are known to have been involved in assisting fugitives who are not listed as members of the committee. These are people such as Abigale and Lydia Mott. William Topp is mentioned on the flyer as having a responsible role in the work but not as a member of the committee.
Also identified on the flyer is a ten month period and the number of people helped in that period. In the ten months prior to July 15, 1856, 287 fugitives were helped through Albany by the efforts of the committee. Stephen Myers served as the committee’s chairman for the three years prior to April 1856, and C. Brooks served as chairman after Myers.
Some pictures exist of members of the vigilance committee. Pictured here are Stephen Myers, principal agent of the committee, and Dr. Thomas Elkins.
More information about Myers is told elsewhere in this web site.
Dr. Elkins was a pharmacist and respected member of the community. The picture included here was taken after the Civil War.
Both of these pictures are taken from William Johnson’s autobiography which is available in the New York State Library and the Albany Public Library. The pictures were obtained with the assistance of the Albany Public Library.


rice and beans and la churecaPosted: April 25, 2011
“Try to think of this as a set of accounts. It isn’t in double accounting, with columns of debits and credits and a lot of numbers, however.”
So begins Maggie Barclay’s latest volume, Tuppenny Rice, which has just come out. Maggie and her sister, Kate Saunders, set up the Mayagna Children’s Fund. Over the three years of the Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign’s support for Los Quinchos in La Chureca, the Fund has been the biggest and most consistent donor. Tuppenny Rice is an account of that support, though as Maggie says, you won’t find much talk of money.
Like her first book about their visits to Nicaragua, Rice and Beans, it details Maggie and Kate’s experiences, and the reasons why they set up the fund. See below for our review of Rice and Beans, which appeared in the Wales NSC newsletter last year:
……… Maggie Barclay’s book, Rice & Beans, introduces the politics by stealth. It’s the story of her family. Over the course of the book she and her sister, Kate, come closer together, thanks partly to their adventures travelling in Central America.
Maggie has already described her visits to Nicaragua in the Guardian’s “Letter from…’ column. The sisters will also be familiar to readers of the newsletter, as they have been major fund-raisers for the La Chureca appeal.
The book describes three visits to Nicaragua. They develop a link with a project that supports Mayagna children. They also travel into the Bosawas bio-reserve, which tests the endurance of both sisters. Whilst Maggie and Kate are not quite ‘Scottish Ladies’, they are not used to roughing it big time either. They have a guide through a friendship they struck up with a Nicaraguan from León, Rigo Sampson. Rigo is a constant throughout the Nicaraguan passages of the book, and helps them get an insight into the problems people face, espcially in the more remote areas of the country.
Maggie’s account of the travels in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras gives a good contrast of the different countries. She also captures the enthusiasm and curiosity of ordinary Nicaraguans.
She highlights the dilemmas that everyone who tries to offer support through solidarity projects faces – the differences in understanding about what are personal gifts and communal support; the too-high expectations, on both sides, of who you know and what can be achieved; and the need to be adaptable when, as invariably happens, things go wrong, or don’t happen at all.
Maggie also gets to the heart of the difference between the plague of back-packers that descend on Central America, and those struggling to build longer term links. After her last visit to Musawas, the most arduous in the whole book, she is relaxing in León, reading Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul:
“….. and I turn back to his pages on what is ‘picturesque’ over and over again. He makes the point that you have to be an outsider to take pleasure in what he describes as the ‘accidental beauty of poverty and historical decay’.”
Rice & Beans is the story of how two “outsiders” try to get an understanding of what life is like for “insiders” in Nicaragua, and how they can develop long term support and friendships which go beyond most people’s experiences of ‘picturesque’ countries.
Rice and Beans is available from www.lulu.com, price £8.99.


It was a gut-wrenching story that captured the hearts and imagination of the world: a beautiful five-year-old boy was floating alone in the Florida Straits in an inner tube on Thanksgiving morning in 1999 after his mother drowned in a daring voyage from Cuba to the U.S.
In a matter of hours, the innocent boy, Elián Gonzalez, would unknowingly find himself at the center of an explosive international custody battle and trapped in the quagmire of Cold War U.S.-Cuba relations as his Miami-based cousins argued he should stay with them and refused to return him to his father in Cuba. When Fidel Castro got involved, the story developed into a Shakespearean-like drama, Cuban style. Even the Pope had to intervene.
After months of legal battles, protests, back and forth indictments, the boy was removed from his Miami cousin’s home by border patrol agents with guns blazing.
Nearly two decades later, filmmakers revisit the explosive story and weave together fresh interviews with Elián, now 23 years old, his father Juan Miguel, and their Miami-based cousin, Marisleysis, in a powerful new documentary executive produced by Academy Award winning director Alex Gibney. The film, narrated by Cuban American actor Raul Esparza, and fittingly titled, “Elián,” premiered Thursday night at the Tribeca Film Festival. It opens nationally on May 19th.
“I thought it was amazing that no one else hard returned to the story, or looked back at it in any real way,” said Tim Golden, a former NY Times correspondent who co-directed the documentary with Ross McDonnell “I was sure that there was more to the story—and indeed there was,” he told NBC Latino.
Using a significant amount of archival footage, some of it never before seen outside of Cuba, filmmakers meticulously reconstructed the 6-month saga of Elián as the little boy’s story became intertwined with the larger Cuban-American political milieu in South Florida.
Back in Cuba, Elián’s father wanting his son returned so he turned government officials for help. The case skyrocketed up the communist chain reaching Fidel Castro himself, who cleverly used the opportunity to galvanize his people against what he considered was another example of Yankee interventionism.


To Paint the Earth is the Richard Rodgers Award-winning musical that tells the story of the life of the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.
On the early morning of April 19th, 1943, a small band of untrained fighters, using homemade bombs and a few smuggled-in weapons, forced Nazi tanks to turn and retreat. This extraordinary event was to become known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. How they came to this remarkable decision – and how they had to first come together themselves before they could, is the story Paint weaves across a range of families and individuals.
Based on memoirs and first-hand accounts, the musical shows how even after individual hope is lost, a community can still rise and shout to the world, “We are here.”
Sheldon Harnick, the lyricist of Fiddler on the Roof, called the show “a remarkable achievement. [The authors] have managed to convey…a gripping sense of what life was like in the last days of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War Two. We meet both those in denial, attempting to live a ‘normal life’ in impossible circumstances, and those who, in the same circumstances, became capable of surprising acts of heroism. This unusual and adventurous musical is a deeply moving experience.”

Children were selected as sacrificial victims as they were considered to be the purest of beings.
Are the Incas extinct?
The Incas of Peru are undoubtedly one of the most admired of ancient civilisations. Less than two centuries later, however, their culture was extinct, victims of arguably the cruellest episode of Spanish colonial history. …
How old are the Incas?
The Inca civilization flourished in ancient Peru between c. 1400 and 1533 CE, and their empire eventually extended across western South America from Quito in the north to Santiago in the south, making it the largest empire ever seen in the Americas and the largest in the world at that time.
What happened to the Incas?
The Inca state was known as the Kingdom of Cuzco before 1438. … However, shortly after the Inca Civil War, the last Sapa Inca (emperor) of the Inca Empire was captured and killed on the orders of the conquistador Francisco Pizarro, marking the beginning of Spanish rule.
At what age did the Incas get married?
Marriage was no different. Incan women were typically married at the age of sixteen, while men married at the age of twenty.
Is human sacrifice still practiced today?
Today, human sacrifice has become extremely rare. Most religions condemn the practice, and modern secular laws treat it as murder.

Complex pediatric “Spin Dryer” injuries – An uncommon mechanism and pattern of synchronous upper limb fractures
Marlon M Mencia, Raakesh Goalan
Department of Clinical Surgical Sciences, University of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica
Ipsilateral humerus and forearm fractures, or 'floating elbow,' are high-energy injuries, uncommon in children and usually due to falls or motor vehicle accidents. Early models of washing machines were associated with various reports of upper extremity injuries in children, mostly occurring when the child attempted to remove clothes from a spinning machine. Some of these accidents resulted in serious injuries, including amputation, but have become considerably less common with the introduction of improved safety features in modern appliances.
We describe the successful management of a child with multiple complex upper limb fractures caused by a modern washing machine.

…ok, of course the title of this post isn’t a statement of truth, (you have read my All About Me page, right?!).
I Don’t Like Books. Never. Ever. The End. is actually the title of my debut picture book—I can’t believe that I’m actually typing those words! My debut picture book (humour me!) has been wonderfully illustrated by the marvellous Sharon Davey (Plum Pudding Illustration Agency) and crafted with the utmost care and attention by the team at David Fickling Books. Alice, Ness and Bronnie - thank you so, so much for helping to create my debut picture book, (final time, promise!).
I’ve gasped out loud - more than once - at how insightful Sharon’s illustrative interpretation has been. Sharon has added warmth, humour and over 1,000 (!) books to Mabel’s story…
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Mabel. A girl who didn’t like books. Then one day, the books decided that enough was enough…
I Don’t Like Books. Never. Ever. The End. follows Mabel as she discovers the magic to be found inside the books that surround her.
I Don’t Like Books. Never. Ever. The End. will be published in the UK, on the 6th February 2020. Mabel will also be popping up in Germany (HarperCollins, August 2019), Romania, Denmark, Russia and Poland.
I can’t wait for you to join Mabel on her adventures.
“A delightful picture book debut from author Emma Perry, teamed with Sharon Davey’s gorgeous illustrations in a brand-new style - these two are picture book stars in the making.” David Fickling Books.
“I love this book. For ever and ever. The end!” Michelle Robinson


Gene Autry created one of Hollywood's most successful genres—the musical Western. America's Favorite Singing Cowboy graced the silver screen from 1934 until 1953 and in America's living rooms with The Gene Autry Show from 1950 until 1955.
Now you and your family can enjoy these Western classics on DVD—fully restored and uncut—from Gene Autry's personal film and television archives. Each DVD is loaded with extras, and the sale of these DVDs will further the educational and cultural mission of the renowned Autry National Center in Los Angeles.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
A very enjoyable book
Nicely illustrated by Jorge Beda and Mercedes Martin; many of the delightful interior illustrations make me think of old wood-cuts.
This is meant to be a collection of stories for children, and I’m sure the grandchildren will enjoy it, but I liked it, too. Crosby presents a dozen stories, closely tied to the history and legends of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The mysterious seer’s stone is a unifying thread for the stories, which cover events from 1493 to a little past the present day. Of course, as a fantasy and science fiction writer, Crosby throws in such elements as dragons, time travel, space ships, and visiting aliens.

I could immediately recognize the style from book covers of the America journals of realissm. Home Contact Us Help Free delivery worldwide. For me, not as information laden as Color and Light, his other book, but offered a much more in depth look at Gurney’s process and how he visualizes the non-existent. He reveals a variety of useful techniques in composition vignetting, windmilling, cut-aways, etc.
It’s extremely important for artists to put this into practice The result is a painting that tells its story convincingly. It is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to authoritative painting and visionary storytelling as well as a lively visual testament to a committed artist’s life lived fully and passionately.
In addition to the painting genres you mention, it will also be of great benefit to Surrealist painters, artists exploring Magical Realism, and spiritual, psychological and Mythical themes as well. I had the honor of meeting James Reailsm at Anthrocon in ; he definitely knows what he’s talking about. I have taken those lessons to heart in my professional approach and have shared them with art students across the country. Gurney put words to concepts I have never been introduced to, even being a college-trained artist!
You can browse it like a magazine or read it straight through. Along the way, I have researched the art instruction methods from fifty and one hundred years ago, when imaginative art was taught more systematically.
Gurney Journey: Why I Wrote Imaginative Realism
This book isn’t really a tutorial book on drawing, but much can be learnt from it. He explains his methods, materials he used and it really makes you want to push your creativity to the max.
An award-winning fantasy artist and the creator of DinotopiaJames Gurney instructs and inspires in Imaginative Realism: You might use a traditional technique such as watercolor, gouache, oil, or acrylic. In this book Gurney sums up his approach to imaginative realism, references, maquettes, techiniques and more. I coulda sworn imqginative was coming out in September though Something that gave me hope is the author saying it took him 3 months of research and painting for a particular detailed piece.
The pictures appear tranquil; the color is bright. He found out there’s a drummer boy who used his drum as a float and drew that in. Jul 14, Shane Evans rated it it was amazing. I also have shared many of those insights on this blog.
Review: Imaginative Realism
I had seen a few illustrations from Dinotopia by the author imaginatife but really had no idea how truly amazing his work is. I had the honor of meeting him in person at that event!
It has changed the way I paint every day at work – I can hardly give it higher praise than this. Sometimes, I was just immersed in the picture for a while before I suddenly realize that I have watch them for a half of hour. Jul 17, Max rated it it was amazing.

The one may be more talented than the other, of course; but without untiring diligence, single mindedness, and a combative spirit, there can’t be any good result. Some of his dioramas are quite elaborate. I think the real challenge is to go for both— and I’ve seen very good artists go for both.

A work of music theatre by Olga Neuwirth
Concept and reworking of the first and second act of Alban Berg's Lulu, music and text for act three by Olga Neuwirth.
Text von Akt I und II gekürzt und adaptiert von Helga Utz und Olga Neuwirth nach einer Übersetzung von Richard Stokes von Catherine Kerkhoff-Saxon.
In English with German subtitles
American Lulu ist a commissioned work of The Opera Group and the Komische Oper Berlin, A co-production with The Opera Group, Scottish Opera and The Young Vic in association with the London Sinfonietta.
Against the male perspective
American Lulu by Olga Neuwirth
Premiere 16 August 2013 – 8 p.m., Werkstattbühne
Duration: 1 3/4 hours, no interval
The multiple award winning Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth takes a new look at one of the most fascinating female figures in the history of theatre. In her reworking of Alban Berg's Lulu, a key work of 20th century opera, the protagonists become Afro-Americans whose story is told against the backdrop of US protest movements of the 1960s and 70s.
Alban Berg's Lulu is an embodiment of the classic femme fatale of the early 20th century: Lulu is the seductive scourge of men. Idolised and yet for ever out of reach, she drives men to despair and suicide one after the other. In American Lulu, Neuwirth looks at Lulu with women's eyes: "What I was aiming for was not to create an authentic Alban Berg all over again, but to reconsider this mystical female figure from the perspective of a woman, a composer of my generation. It was only ever male views that were presented of this female figure Lulu. This male view of female central characters in opera always bothered me."
Additional performance: 17 August – 8 p.m.
Price: 26 Euro
Introductory talk (in German) half an hour before the performance begins (admission free).

Archives of Zemplén
The Archives of the county Zemplén can be found on the floor of the north wing of the countyhouse constructed between 1754 and 1768. The material gathered until that time was first placed in two rooms in baroque cabinets compying with the taste of the age, in curved drawers in three rows at the bottom, on open, later numbered shelves above them – all these are the magnificent creations of the master cabinetmaker József Speck. At Ferenc Kazinczy’s initiative – who worked in the Archives between 1815 and 1831 – three new rooms were added to the Archives, and the doors of the five rooms were opened to each other. The county’s complete collection of writings from the age of feudalism (from the 16th century to 1849) is preserved here even today. The imposing wall units covering the entire wall surface, and the numbered shelves covered with waxcloth blankets, the iron windows, iron doors are a beautiful sight, and they evoke the atmosphere of the 18-19th century Archives in a unique way in the country. New storerooms were made for the increasing number of writings on the corridor next to the Archives from the beginning of the 20th century, and later on the ground floor, too, The current network of storerooms had been completed by the 1970-1980s, and they are now preserving the written history of the settlements of Zemplén – which remained on the territory of Zemplén county (which existed until 1950) and today’s Hungary – in 14 rooms. There are written references in this archive dating back even to 1271. The logical order of the county’s Archives that were placed in the building of the countyhouse was developed by the chief notary and famous historian Antal Szirmay in as early as 1777. One of his famous successors was Ferenc Kazinczy, the poet and language reformer, who made his home in Széphalom the “centre of the Hungarian intellectual life. The entire size of the documented materials of the Archives is more than 2100 linear meters. Since archives became more open, this vast amount of files is researched 400 to 600 times every year.

Today during our library meeting, I received a less than positive reaction to a suggestion that poetry be the subject of a display or activity in a boys’ secondary school. Eyebrows were raised sceptically and scornfully, and ‘you must be kidding’ was all over everyone’s faces. Boys would never be coerced into read poetry; they preferred sport, war or anything that made you want to beat your chest and shout ‘Oi’. OK, I may be using some of my own poetic license in describing people’s reaction, but that’s just to set the scene.
By some poetic miracle, or perhaps the gods of Poesie were smiling down upon me, but later today I read about the Red Room Company’s mission to create, promote and publish Australian poetry in unusual ways.
‘Eight pigeons will race along the New South Wales south coast on Sunday – in a time trial the organisers liken to the Tour de France – with a piece of original, Australian poetry strapped to the ankle of each bird’. The day’s events began with live poetry readings at Stanwell Park, after which the pigeons flew to the breeders’ HQ in Mt Ousley, transmitting pigeon-cam video back to the launch site.
And just when you thought gambling and poetry didn’t go together, they do! You could put a (free) wager on whichever pigeon and poem you thought would win, and the winners would get a single poem as their prize, and also go into the draw for the grand prize: a “Pigeon Poetry Sculpture and poetry books from all states and territories”.
The website proclaims the success of the strange union of sport and poetry, as it occurred on 3 August this year. You can view a picture of each pidgeon, and read each pidgeon’s poem. Don’t forget to read about the pidgeon and the poet, especially since the write-up is so creatively metaphorical, that you’re not sure if the poet is a bird or if the bird is a poet. For example, reading about the pidgeon ‘Real Radio’, you not only get its weight and wingspan, but you also find out about its reading habits, and the languages it speaks (Hebrew and Wave, in this case).
When everything is presented in such a wondrously confusing way, young people won’t even realise what they’re doing, and before they know it, they’ll have read some great poetry without meaning to. I think this approach is fantastic: distract with strange coupling of poetry and sport (you could come up with your own version), blur the lines between the two, then confuse everyone, throw the poetry in while they’re blinking in confusion, and there you have it! This has given me food for thought…
