- Durandal.js – a SPA (single page application framework) that adds powerful view composition. It uses what you might already know (like Knockout.js, SammyJS, and RequireJS). If you are building a SPA and aren’t using a formal framework like AngularJS, you should check this out.
- KoLite – this is small collection of KO extensions that I find useful. In particular, I like the “command” binding handling that adds a way to add XAML like ICommand-ness to KO.
- RequireJS – I use this in conjunction with Durandal as it is a requirement of Durandal. It allows you to organize your code into “modules” – a programming feature lacking from JS.
- SammyJS – this is a client-side routing engine that is a default routing plugin for Durandal.
- jQuery and jQuery UI – everybody knows these two.
- toastr – a small and effective notification library that “toasts” a message to the user. It is so simple and looks very beautiful too.
- accounting.js – this small library helps with parsing and formatting monetary amounts in JS. I use this a lot with professional projects because most of the work I do involves capturing and displaying monetary amounts (as do a great deal of applications).
- mustache.js – a small string template system for when you want to generate HTML using string templates (as opposed to Knockout’s or Angular’s DOM-based templating). I use this only when I need to work with a third-party control that allows custom templating but templates must be delivered as strings. In general, DOM templates tend to be better in my opinion.
- date.format.js – a small date/time parsing and formatting library that works quite well. I also hear that moment.js is really good, but have not used it. JS’s support for Dates is pretty bad so these libraries help ease the pain, considerably.
Most of these libraries have packages on NuGet. Some are on npm too.


Ways Nonfiction Books Become Beneficial
In a world of limitless entertainment, we frequently choose guilty pleasures above education. What if we could obtain both factors from reading nonfiction books? Every year, many of the world’s most successful people read hundreds of nonfiction books. Why is this? Because nonfiction books are not just entertaining but also could provide readers beyond what they could imagine.
Nonfiction books can be found everywhere. However, the ones that can give you what you need can be hard to find. If you are looking for something that can enlighten, a book that is a product of shared experiences, The Book of It is the one for you. It tells the author’s journey through the threads of It that he has discovered – strands that run across history, literature, religious texts, and ideologies, and even into world philosophy. Scott Rahn’s book on Histories and legends of the world will undoubtedly give you something valuable and substantial that you can bring with you for the rest of your life.
Here are the reasons why you should grab a book from the nonfiction section:
It Gives Lifetime Knowledge and Wisdom
With the vast array of topics that nonfiction books tackle, there is an excellent chance for you to encounter something that will enlighten you. You can find something that can change your perspectives for the better, making you see the world in a different manner. This is because knowledge and wisdom are the only two things that you can bring with you—and even share with other people—for the rest of your life. That is why it is crucial to not shy away from learning opportunities, just like reading.
It Improves Your Cognitive Skills
Reading, in general, can improve your skills in so many aspects, but it will never fail to improve factors revolving around your cognitive skills. One of the best advantages you can get out of reading is concentration. Reading should always involve concentration, and if you make it a habit to concentrate, you’ll find it simpler to be more present and productive. If you are working, fifteen minutes of nonfiction reading or listening on your commute will put you in a more concentrated mood when you arrive at the office. It also has proven to be helpful in memory decline. Reading-stimulating activities have been demonstrated to decrease cognitive loss in old age in persons who participated in more cognitively stimulating activities throughout their lives.
It Makes You an Effective Communicator
An excellent communicator is someone who thoroughly expresses their message while also being attentive and responsive to the feedback of others. These people use simple, easy-to-understand language and talk in a clear, straightforward manner. This is why avid readers are effective communicators. They understand the importance of using non-highfalutin words. Plus, when you read your vocabulary will grow as you do this activity more often, providing you with new terms to use in regular conversations. You’ll also pick up on renowned writers’ writing and speaking styles, which will help you hone your own abilities as a writer and speaker.
It Makes You Socially Aware
When you grow more socially aware, you are better able to sympathize with others’ feelings and understand the motivation behind their behavior. You’re also better able to assess your surroundings and identify the elements that affect individuals and impact results. You can definitely achieve this if you are a reader of nonfiction books. When you read, especially other people’s stories, you are allowing yourself to become better by putting yourself in others’ shoes. As a result, you will think before you speak, and you will no longer be insensitive towards other people’s feelings. Other than that, you will also gain information about the things that are going on in today’s world. Being aware of what is going on in society allows everyone to act and empower one another to notice and address social concerns such as inequality, discrimination, global warming, population, health, and others.
Simply put it this way, nonfiction educates us about the world around us. It is a fantastic approach to teach new words and also spark interest in new subjects. Everything acquired from a nonfiction book may open up a whole new universe of possibilities for the reader.

I am a historian of modern Europe interested in the spread of radical social and political ideas. After receiving my Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, I became a postdoctoral associate and lecturer in the Humanities Program and history department at Yale University. I’m also a fellow in Yale’s Whitney Humanities Center. My research areas include resistance movements, German socialism, exile, human rights, critical theory, and modern revolutions.
Currently I’m finishing my first book, New Lefts: The Making of a Radical Tradition, 1920-1970, which argues that the New Left activism sweeping across Europe during the 1960s actually drew on radical precedents dating back to the interwar years. By analyzing the historical process by which “new lefts” emerged out of “old lefts,” this book identifies the patterns of militant behavior, non-party forms of organization, and recurrent theoretical problems that constituted the phenomenon of neoleftism. Not only generational conflict but also periodic frustration at communist and social democratic bureaucracy gave rise to splinter groups on the margins of mainstream politics. Antifascist and anti-authoritarian avant-gardes in Germany, France, Britain, and elsewhere made the last century’s most creative attempts to transform capitalist society and culture.
I’ve also started a new research project on the subversive metaphor of “the underground.” Beneath the surface of everyday life lies a substratum of clandestine deals, conspiracy, and crime. During the period of industrialization, people in the West began to imagine society as a hierarchically layered structure — and the dangerous classes lived below. In 1819, the German publicist Joseph Görres transposed social fears into a political key when he warned of a Jacobin “fire that burns underground.” This project explores the spatial imagination of resistance to oppression from the early nineteenth century to the present-day digital underground.
Articles of mine appear in The Historical Journal, Modern Intellectual History, and New German Critique. Download my CV here.


Backwater will make you homesick for a place you've never been. Boudreaux is a magnificent, surprising, rich new Southern voice. - Jeff Johnson, author of Knottspeed, A Love Story (Turner), the Darby Holland Crime Novels (Skyhorse) and Tattoo Machine (Random House)
Boudreaux has created a rich, atmospheric world that I did not want to leave. Her characters were brought to life with great detail and depth, and they stayed with me long after the story was finished. This is by far the most accurate and best representation of the culture and place that I call home. A must for anyone wanting to get swept away with an amazing, beautiful story. - Jennifer Park, author of The Shadows We Know By Heart (Simon Pulse/S&S)
Backwater has hooks and soul and characters that stay with you, and all of the descriptions are beautiful and true. From rivers to deep pine forests, this novel hits every note right. Kate Boudreaux is a fresh new voice in Southern fiction, and may just become known as the Jane Austen of East Texas. - William Jensen, author of Cities of Men (Turner)
Backwater - A Love Story
Purchase at the following retailers:
After years of rubbing elbows with Austin’s elite, Sunday Frederick jumps at the chance to escape the concrete jungle and practice natural medicine in her beloved hometown. But returning to the sleepy East Texas community of Old Salem with a fast-talking fiancé in tow proves more of a challenge than she ever expected as she struggles to balance his ambitions with the best interests of her family and the surrounding community. When a wildcrafting assignment plunges her into the swampy, mosquito-infested river bottom of her youth—and face-to-face with local rebel, Eli LeBlanc—Sunday finds herself torn between everything she thought she wanted and everything she can’t live without.
Told in an authentic Southern voice, Backwater is that rare breed of novel that will please every type of reader while shining light on the struggle of rural communities everywhere to retain not only their cultural identity, but the environment on which it depends.
Kate Boudreaux specializes in authentic Southern storytelling drawing from her family's generational experiences of thriving in the river bottoms of East Texas for over 150 years. Her work has placed in the William Faulkner Literary Competition and she enjoys serving as a contributor for Texas Books in Review.


What's So Kabbalistic About Bonfires?
by Rabbi Aron Moss
What's the idea of having big bonfires on Lag Baomer? I know it is the day of the passing of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the "father of Kabbalah." But even Moses doesn't get bonfires on the day of his passing...
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai spent the last moments of his life doing what he always did: teaching. The mystical ideas that he shared with his devoted students that day were the deepest and most revolutionary teachings he had ever revealed.
But as this parting message was being conveyed, there was a tension in heaven. Rabbi Shimon's death was ordained to be that day before sundown. As the afternoon stretched on and evening approached, he had not yet finished sharing his final wisdom. The day would soon be over, but the lesson was not. Rabbi Shimon refused to return his soul until he had revealed all the secrets that it held. His life could only come to end when his mission did. But time had run out.
And so the day didn't end. The setting sun slowed down, and daylight was extended to allow Rabbi Shimon to say all he needed to say. Only after he had completed his lesson did his holy soul depart and the sun finally set.
On the anniversary of that day each year, in honour of Rabbi Shimon and the light he brought to the world, we brighten the night with bonfires. There is a powerful symbolism in this. Rabbi Shimon's teachings are there to bring light when it would otherwise be dark.
You can be a good person without studying Kabbalah. But only the wisdom of Rabbi Shimon in the Zohar, and the great works of the mystics and Chassidic masters that came after him, have the power to turn the moral darkness of the world around us, and the darker recesses of our own inner world, into a fiery light.


Soon to be released: The Future is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs
“In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Laksmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if, in the near future, the majority of people will be disabled – and what if that’s not a bad thing? And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom are crucial to creating a future in which it’s possible to survive fascism, climate change, and pandemics and to bring about liberation?
Building on the work of their game-changing book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other – and the rest of the world – alive during Trump, fascism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy.
Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those concerned about disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honour songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death. With passion and power, The Future Is Disabled remembers our dead and insists on our future.”

Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice
“In their new, long-awaited collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime disability justice activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice, a movement that centres the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all. Leah writes passionately and personally about creating spaces by and for sick and disabled queer people of colour, and creative “collective access” — access not as a chore but as a collective responsibility and pleasure — in our communities and political movements. Bringing their survival skills and knowledge from years of cultural and activist work, Piepzna-Samarasinha explores everything from the economics of queer femme emotional labour, to suicide in queer and trans communities, to the nitty-gritty of touring as a sick and disabled queer artist of colour.
Care Work is a mapping of access as radical love, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled queer/people of colour are doing to find each other and to build power and community, and a toolkit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind. Powerful and passionate, Care Work is a crucial and necessary call to arms.”

Nneka laid out before her father, the king. The throne-room was vast, without walls, shrouded in secrecy. The King sat on the throne, glad she visited, always wanting to hear from her. She laid on the ground, which was neither hot nor cold; it’s temperature even. It was the only way she knew and had become accustomed to taking. When problems assailed her, and unrest filled her heart, she would enter into his presence and lay face down. On other days, she still paid him visits; she knew how much he loved her company.
He smiled, loving her.
Nneka rose and knelt before him, giving him praise. She adored him for who he was to her and wept as she remembered all he did to ensure she attained the position for which he gave her life. In that vast space, she was alone before him; she could be bare. She called on her helper when she couldn’t go on and asked for support. He stood with her and assisted as she worshipped.
Nneka brought all her problems before the king. She laid them all out piece by piece. As she remembered, she spoke, asking for advice. When she finished, she laid herself before him again, knowing she would receive mercy and grace for her time of need.
He didn’t disappoint.
It was her habit to listen for instruction, as she did so, he gave guidance to face the issues of the day. He enlightened her on reasons for some problems she faced and provided wisdom for the way forward. As he spoke, Nneka’s mind traced his words to scripture verses he hid in her heart. For some, no scripture came, but she knew before whom she laid.
Nneka rose again and praised her father, thanking him for all he did. For the peace, he gave and the abundance of grace available for that day. When she thought about how merciful her father was, receiving her anytime she called, granting her audience regardless of her failures, Nneka wept again. Her father’s love and kindness would never stop overwhelming her heart.
The Nneka, who rose to get ready for the day, was not the same person who awoke from sleep, overwhelmed by life. The difference was clear. Darkness overcame the first person, and light encompassed the last. Anxiety overwhelmed the first Nneka, and the last one had the peace that passes human understanding, guarding her heart and mind.

Library management website design plays an important role in providing information and managing documents for users. To ensure convenience, speed and satisfaction for users, it is very important to optimize the user experience on the library management website. In this article, we will explore the essentials for optimizing the user experience on a library management website in more detail.
Design a library management website – create a user-friendly interface:
The user interface of the library management website should be designed in a friendly, simple and easy to use manner. Users should be able to easily find and access the required information. The navigation menu should be placed clearly and easily, and important functions such as search, borrow/return books should also be placed easily accessible.
Moreover, the font and font size should be chosen so that it is easy to read and does not cause eye strain for the user. Background colors and visual elements should also be used appropriately to create a friendly and attractive feeling for users.
Integrated intelligent search system:
Smart search system is an important factor to help users find and access documents easily and quickly. The search system should allow users to search by title, author, keyword and other criteria. Search results should be displayed clearly and in the right order so that users can quickly find the information they need.
In addition, search suggestions and approximate search should also be integrated to assist users in finding documents where they may not know the exact details.
Integrated loan/return management system:
A good library management website needs to integrate an effective loan/return management system. The user needs to be able to view information about the documents being borrowed, the length of the loan, and the loan/return status. The system should also send reminders and provide loan/return history to the user.
Borrowing/returning management functions should be designed to be easy to use and simple. Users should be able to easily view detailed information about borrowed and returned books, renew their loans online, and reserve books if necessary.
Rating and commenting features:
Built-in rating and comment feature allows users to share their opinions and experiences about the library management website and documents. This not only helps other users have an honest look and choose the right documents, but also helps to improve service quality.
The rating and commenting feature should allow users to comment on books, rate the usefulness and quality of the material, and share suggestions and advice with other users.
Interoperability and social connection:
Integrating interactive functions and social connections helps users share their documents and experiences on social networks. This creates interaction and exchange between the user community, and increases the ability to promote and reach new users.
Information sharing and social networking features include sharing book information on popular social networks, integrating commenting and book sharing features within the library management website user community.
Optimizing the user experience on the library management website plays an important role in providing a good and convenient service to the users. From the design of the user-friendly interface, the integration of the smart search system, the efficient loan/return management system, the rating and commenting features, to the interactivity and social connection – all contribute to creating a good user experience on the library management website.
With these factors in place, users will have a better experience, easily find and access book information, and share their experiences with other users.

The Aeternum Empire started as a coalition of various human tribes in the middle of the continent of Perpetua. After years of unending, meaningless conflict, the leaders of each tribe finally agreed to work together for the greater good under the leadership of Omnes Inum, a young man from a small, relatively unknown tribe.
The newly-formed tribe quickly became a major political force on the continent and formed treaties with other nations and races. The alliances started out as mostly trade and non-aggression treaties, but after many years of working together, the majority of the nations decided to combine into one great Empire under the guidance of Omnes Inum, which became known as the Aeternum Empire. What once was the original human settlement became the capitol, Lux Civitae.
The government of the newly founded Empire was made up of a senate of representatives from the different states of the empire and an emperor elected by the senate, the first of which was Omnes Inum. He had a long, glorious reign, and most of the emperors in the centuries to come would be from his lineage, due partially to their connection to him, but mostly because he taught his children well, and they taught theirs well, and so on and so forth.
Unfortunately, this teaching was diluted over time. This dilution combined with the scientific, artistic, and magical advancement of society to a point of practical stagnation. This cultural stagnation created a society that had no challenges, no problems to solve.
People began to form Pleasure Cults, groups dedicated to experiencing all that mortals could experience, from the heights of pleasure to the depths of pain. These cults committed all sorts of horrifying things in the name of experiencing mortality.
The ruling classes fought against these cults as much as possible, up through the reign of Emperor Nero Pertinax. He was a beacon of hope for those still sane in the empire. He was strong, righteous, noble, a seeming reincarnation of Omnes Inum. However, he disappeared one day, leaving his son, Lucius Claudius Augustus, in charge in his absence.
Lucius, unbeknownst to his father and the public, was the leader of one of these pleasure cults, Libita. Under his leadership, Libita became one of the most depraved cults in existence. Upon assuming power, he dissolved the Senate, replacing them with a small group of advisors from Libita and began to run the once-glorious empire into the ground.
The Order of Emendationem, a group of intellectual elite and masters of science and magic led by Aeneus Avica, Head Magister of the Empire, decided that things had gone far enough and began planning a coup d’état. A year after the disappearance of Emperor Nero Pertinax, on the anniversary of the coronation of Emperor Lucius Claudius Augustus, the Order of Emendationem successfully overthrew Emperor Lucius and his advisors.
They seized the royal palace and Aeneus Avica opened a portal to the Lower Planes. He had worked out a formula that could take the unbridled power of the Lower Planes and control and convert it into a weapon of great destruction which would be used to eradicate the pleasure cults from the world and usher in a new age of peace, prosperity, and advancement of all races.
He planned on only opening a tiny portal to the Lower Planes, but he had been misled by powerful daemons. They had, in fact, implanted the idea of creating a portal into the Lower Planes into his head, corrupting him slowly until he began acting upon their desires.
The daemons were prepared for his opening of the portal, and hijacked it, enlarging it to a size that could not be controlled by anyone, even one as powerful as Aeneus. Daemons began pouring into Lux Civitae, destroying everything in their wake.
What was left of the populace and military evacuated the city and attempted to contain the daemon outbreak. A small group of warriors, scholars, holy men, and scientists snuck into the city, making their way to the royal palace in an attempt to close the portal and save the city. They managed their way into the royal palace and got all the way to the top of the highest tower, where they saw Aeneus, unholy power channeling through him to create an immense portal directly to the staging grounds of the armies of the Lower Planes.
They leapt through the portal and held off waves upon waves of daemons as the remaining leaders of the Order of Emendationem worked a ritual to close the portal in an effort to redeem their order from the foolish endeavors of Aeneus Avica. They managed it, shutting both themselves and Aeneus into the Lower Planes, thinking they had saved the day. However, the sealing of the portal released an immense blast of energy, splitting the continent of Perpetua in two and separating the survivors of the empire.
The New World
Now, centuries later, the survivors of the Fracture have settled the now two continents. Two major powers have risen, the Innovo Imperium in the north and Libertain in the south, each thinking that they are the true inheritors of the power and rights of the Aeternum Empire. However, there are other factions vying for the same power in this time of uncertainty, and no one truly knows the direction of the world.


I know what you're saying. Hey, Bongo Jazz -- you haven't updated your blog in years! Did you die? Were you captured by aliens? What have you been up to over the past few years?
Well, lemme tell ya — I've been doing daddy stuff for twin boys who arrived five years ago. But I've also been working with noted film director Alan Smithee Jr. on what I consider the most important music film of the 21st century — a film that I think could save rock and roll.
(Yes, I know today in April 1 but I'm serious here.)
Unshackled: The Unreal Story and Unexpected Reunion of the Taboo Shackles tells the story of a band that, after 32 years in relative obscurity, is finally getting the recognition they deserve.
And I'm not the only one who thinks this film is a gem:
For once, I think a press release kind of gets it right:
Dancing Turtles Productions is proud to present Unshackled, a documentary on short-lived but hugely influential Calgary band The Taboo Shackles. The low-budget film has already been heralded by critics as the most revelatory music film since From Justin to Kelly.
The Taboo Shackles played their first show on Nov. 28, 1984, and it was taped by a Washington, DC-based soundman, who shared copies with his musical friends and acquaintances.
Soon, the bootleg recording was spreading like wildfire throughout the underground rock community during the latter half of the 1980s, influencing many of the alt-rock musicians who would find fame in the ensuing decade.Until recently, members of the Taboo Shackles were unaware of the bootleg recording and its influence on countless rock musicians.
Today, as the Shackles' music and story start to attain mainstream attention, and as reunion offers start to come in, members of the band -- all middle-aged and most working jobs unrelated to music -- must decide whether they should give up their day jobs (temporarily) for one more big show, and one big payday.
Documentary includes contemporary and rare archival footage, including 1984 performances of Shackles originals A Song Named Sam, Don Don What Are You On, Peer Pressure, Meow-ow-ow and Wake Up. Also includes the first recording of sought-after Shackles rarity Old Bill.
Appearances from Nirvana, Moby, Bikini Kill, Adam Ant, Toto, Cory Mack, Tona Ohama, The Ruminants, Beagle Ranch, Terry Tompkins, John Rutherford, Zenon West, Mike Bezzeg and Rick Worrall, among others.
Rated PG for some adult language.
I'm not gonna shit ya. Unshackled is as good as The Last Waltz but with less cocaine. It's shorter than Woodstock. And it's much funnier than Amy. It's worth the hour.
The documentary will soon be part of a multi-DVD set, Shacklebox (above).
The set will be released on the historic Apple label that -- as my readers surely know -- was home to a foursome that changed the face of popular music: The Black Dyke Mills Band, Brute Force, The Elastic Oz Band and Mary Hopkin (plus a few others, apparently). Look for it at your local video rental store soon!

From the Preface to Exposition of the Divine Principle:
"The text which you hold in your hands contains the Divine Principle, the teaching of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The earliest manuscript of the Divine Principle was lost in North Korea during the Korean War. Upon arriving as a refugee in Pusan, Reverend Moon wrote and dictated a manuscript called Wolli Wonbon (Original Text of the Divine Principle). He then guided Hyo Won Eu, the first president of the Unification Church of Korea, to prepare more systematic presentations of his teaching with biblical, historical and scientific illustrations. Reverend Moon gave President Eu special instruction regarding the content of these texts and then checked them over meticulously. These efforts resulted in Wolli Hesul (Explanation of the Divine Principle) published in 1957 and Wolli Kangron (Exposition of the Divine Principle) published in 1966. For the past thirty years, Wolli Kangron has been the text of Reverend Moon’s basic teaching. Exposition of the Divine Principle is the new authorized English translation of Wolli Kangron."

From the Foreword to True Family: Gateway to Heaven:
"Introduced in this book is a part of the historical and providential special messages from Heaven. They are the messages from Heaven that Rev. Moon, who received the calling from Heaven at the early age of 16 and set out on the path of the salvation of humanity, has declared and taught before all humanity in the world in his 90 years of lifetime.
The teachings of Rev. Moon have already been published in more than 1000 speech books. This pamphlet is an excerpt from the Cheon Seong Gyeong, a volume of 16 books comprising 'the holy book for the Kingdom of Heaven,' as it is described by Rev. Moon. This pamphlet’s first chapter is the first section of the first chapter of Book 5, 'Earthly Life and the Spirit World.' This pamphlet’s Chapter 2, 3 and 4 are the third, fourth and fifth chapters of Book 4, 'True Family,' of the Cheon Seong Gyeong.
Out of the many teachings imparted by Rev. Moon in the last few decades, the contents of this pamphlet sums up the love as originally created, that is, the love between a true man and woman centered on true life and so forth. It is a collection of the words given from the 1950s for decades until now, under the same given subject, and so it is somewhat repeated, and the reader may feel that the same words are given again and again."
"The Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong is the essence of the Cheon Seong Gyeong, and you have to know that the Family Pledge comes from the Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong and the Cheon Seong Gyeong."

I love books, both for the knowledge that they contain and for the places they can take you. In my library at home, which also doubles as my computer room, I have books from many places in my life. I have some of my science fiction books which I have been collecting and reading since childhood. I have my books on general physics and nuclear physics from my college days. (I am a Nuclear Physicist by training and a Software Engineer by trade). I have books on different topics of programming. Even music books and massage books have found a home in my library.
Each book has a story to tell. Some tell of places far away in space or time or imagination. Some tell the story of the atom or the mystical world of quantum physics or the life of the universe. Some hold temporal sculptures of sound waiting to be released by flute and piano. All have something to offer to those who take the time to listen.
So, welcome to my world. This room in cyberspace is but a stepping stone to the great world around us. Pick a door and step through. Find out where your mind can take you.

We invite you to stop by Classic Car West Garage in Oakland and check out “Transience”, an exhibition curated by Off Space. We have our project “Oakland Re:Construction” installed there throughout June and July.
From July 23rd – October 30th “Oakland Re:Construction” will be featured in the exhibition “Oakland I Want You to Know” at the Oakland Museum of California.
Info on the project and images are below.
The Mobile Arts Platform (MAP) is pleased to present Oakland Re:Construction. For this project MAP artists Peter Foucault and Chris Treggiari will travel under the guise a faux construction team complete with a custom designed work van, safety cones, blueprints and coveralls. They will set up shop in front of existing construction sites throughout the city of Oakland in highly gentrified areas where many residents are currently being displaced. Through a series of interactive strategies and interviews MAP will ask people to share their thoughts on the current transitory nature of the city and what lies ahead for its future. Utilizing a virtual reality camera these stories will be captured in the neighborhood that they took place in and edited into a series of 3-D video clips. These community stories will be collected and installed inside of the van for the duration of the exhibition along with additional interactive projects, creating a “virtual viewing and sharing station”
Here are some responses from the public after our opening last Friday night!
Out on the street getting peoples opinions at a pop-up event at Farleys East. A huge thanks to the Great Wall of Oakland for inviting us!
Below is an image of our final installation at Classic Cars West and some pics of our installation at the Oakland Museum of California.
Happy to announce our MAP project was featured in a new book published by Gingko Press. It is a beautifully crafted hardbound book that highlights the best world-wide mobile concepts of recent years. You can order a copy through the links below:
“Revisiting the Palos Verdes Project” an interactive exhibition developed by the Mobile Arts Platform (MAP) in collaboration with the Palos Verdes Library District (PVLD). Designed to engage the community in celebrating its rich cultural heritage, the project references Frank Vanderlip’s “Palos Verdes Project” and his dream to create a fashionable and exclusive residential and artist colony on the Palos Verdes peninsula over a hundred years ago.
On Saturday January 16th we will be utilizing our Mobile Vespa Printmaking Cart at the Palos Verdes Library from 2-4pm to do live screen printing and inviting the public to create a free interactive poster that asks what their favorite location in Palos Verdes is and how the area has changed over the years.
A huge thanks to everyone who came out, here are some pics from the event!
A huge thanks to the folks at the Great Wall of Oakland for inviting us back this month to be part of their Writ Large event on Friday December 4th! Here is some info and a few pics from the event.

We got Pick of the Week in the East Bay Express for this event!
Join us for our opening screening of the 2015/2016 season on October 2nd at 5:00pm!
Eyes on Oakland is a community-powered, art-meets-journalism initiative that seeks to inform and engage residents across Oakland about the different types of surveillance technology used by local police. A collaboration between the Mobile Arts Platform and The Center for Investigative Reporting, Eyes on Oakland featured two key venues: a participatory installation in the “Who Is Oakland?” exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California, and pop-up outings around Oakland with the Mobile Arts Platform, a classic Ford Falcon van retrofitted as a roving newsroom. The work was sourced by information from CIR’s reporting, and driven by creative insights gathered from Oakland residents. So far, Eyes on Oakland has directly incorporated attitudes on surveillance from hundreds of residents, and inspired a host of fact-based conversations on the balance between privacy and public safety in communities across the city and at the Oakland Museum.
Hope to see you there!

Another wonderful review in the Palo Alto Pulse by Jim Migdal


As soon as I could walk my mother took me, my siblings, and our red Radio Flyer Wagon to the library. Every week we would fill out the entire wagon with books. It was already a habit for me to read. So when things got unbearable for me, I turned to my books. If I ever needed to escape from the day-to-day I could always be carried off by a tornado to the Land of Oz, or fall through Alice's looking glass. I knew that if I needed strength, that Matilda Wormwood would take a stand with me and invent a delightfully wicked punishment for the baddies. It felt as though the characters from some of my favorite books were reaching out to me. I gained strength and comfort through them and their stories. I am so grateful for all the kidlit creators, whose books I grew up reading. They have helped me through some very dark moments in my childhood.
I feel like it is important to share my wounds with you because I know my experience isn't singular. Unfortunately there are so many other children out there that are suffering; children that need relief, children that need to know they are not alone, children that need your empathy, children that need your stories.
As kidlit creators, we will likely be a lifeline for some other child. Let us keep that in mind as we are creating the stories and crafting our illustrations. What we do is important. What we do does makes a difference.
A beautiful post, Meridth. I am grateful for authors and illustrators who hope to help children through the stories in the books we create. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dow! You are a sweetheart! And I am totally with you! I love our community and how they love and support the next generation!

“A true piece of writing is a dangerous thing. In can change your life.” Tobias Wolff
I believe writers can change the world. Being inspired by our passion to find a voice and engage with readers can allow our words to prompt courage and empathy and bring about social and possibly political change… all while telling a great story!
Writing to Change the World is 17 chapters divided into 3 sections of practical instruction as well as being an inspiring guide for the writer looking to enable change. Although this book isn’t meant to teach us how to write, as far as books on writing go, this is a gem!
In Dr. Mary Pipher’s words, “I hope Writing to Change the World helps you clarify your thoughts, experience new hope and new energy, and communicate your best ideas as effectively as possible. My goal is to help you translate your passion and idealism into action.” (Page 13 of the Introduction)
As writers we have the potential to effect change. Writing to Change the World offers many avenues to explore including letters, speeches, essays, blogs, music and poetry to name but a few. What ever your medium, these lessons can help you connect with your audience by not only telling a story but by being part of the story. Dr. Pipher uses stories and case-studies while promoting the importance of having a point of view. Almost every page has an inspiring quote to launch a thousand ideas of our own. She measures success not by “sales” but by how much we give of ourselves and our talent; a most inspiring idea given the amazing online leaders I’ve met recently whom obviously share in that philosphy.
As a Work From Home Professional writing has become my main source of marketing. Whether though email campaigns, blogging or article writing, I need to effectively convey the messages I’m most passionate about in a way that creates action on the part of the reader. As both a student and teacher of this process it was a treat to have been given Writing to Change the World over the holidays and share it with you today.
To Your Financial Health
WISHING YOU A VERY ABUNDANT NEW YEAR!

My article Evading Biopolitical Control: Capoeira as Total Resistance was recently published by Global Society. Here is an abstract and a link to the full article
The analysis of ‘total war’ as systemic, ubiquitous and unrelenting has increased the analytical and political urgency of understanding resistance. Drawing on Foucault’s elaboration of biopolitics and ‘making strange,’ this article theorises ‘total resistance’ through a study of the Afro-Brazilian art of capoeira. It explores how capoeira adepts in the early 20th century resisted the 'total war' of state repression of capoeira and the heritage that it embodied.
This article argues that, by engaging with, and protecting themselves against, the state, capoeira practitioners demonstrated resilience through adaptation and diversification. The corporeality of capoeira provided a holistic response to the biopolitical power of the state, and capoeira players 'made strange' (in Foucauldian terms) the normalcy of power, rescuing themselves and their way of life. In answer to the ‘total war’ which makes patterns of violence apparently inevitable, the ‘total resistance’ of capoeira evaded obliteration, and maintained the possibility of other outcomes.

Revelation is practically screaming at us to notice the number seven. If the number seven has any special significance, it must be particularly relevant in In religion and theology, revelation is the revealing or disclosing of some form of truth or be prophets. Revelation from a supernatural source is of lesser importance in some other religious traditions, such as Taoism and Confucianism. Revelation's ethical values reflect the prophet of Patmos's resistance to that THE RELEVANCE OF REVELATION FOR TODAY In this chapter of the book, it is The word revelation comes from the Greek word apokalypsis meaning an unveiling or disclosure of knowledge.

As such it We only recently rediscovered them. I believe they are still relevant to those seeking revival for themselves, their churches, and communities.

Sonnets from the Portuguese
Original work by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Illustrated by Willy Pogàny
The books from the Ringling Library rare books collection being investigated here are two versions of the same book: Sonnets from the Portuguese, a famous and admired collection of sonnets originally written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning in 1850. Both books take the sonnets and arrange them interspersed with romantic, pastoral illustrations by Willy Pogàny (whose work can also be found in The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám and The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy). There are three editions of the Thomas Y. Crowell Publishing Company’s arrangement of Sonnets from the Portuguese: editions printed in 1936, 1945, and 1950. The earliest version of the two books owned by the Ringling Library is a printing done in 1943, an impression of the edition printed in 1936. The second book being studied is the 1950 edition itself. The importance of the books in terms of the Ringling Library most likely pertain to Pogàny’s included illustrations; as a famous illustrator, William Pogàny was hired by the Ringlings to do several paintings in the Cad’Zan, including the Dancers of Nations ceiling in the ballroom.

The Thomas Y. Crowell Publishing Company was founded as a binding company by Thomas Young Crowell in the early 1860s. It was not until later, in 1876, that Crowell began publishing books. By the time the book under investigation, was published, Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. had been in print for 67 years and was working under the third generation of Crowells, being Robert L. Crowell, president of the company in 1937. Today the Crowell Publishing Company is defunct, having been absorbed by Harper and Row in the 1978. Another quality adding to the rarity of the Sonnets of the Portuguese copies lies in the fact that they were published by a presently extinct publishing company.
In today’s book market, books published by the Thomas Y. Crowell Company range from a price of 4.00 USD to 3,500.00 USD. A 1945 Crowell printing of Sonnets from the Portuguese, an edition of the book published after that of the book under investigation, sells for 60.00 USD. The 1950 printing sells for 45.00 USD. It is interesting to note the older edition is more expensive than the newer; the establishment of value here relies on age rather than rarity of the edition.
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Forster, Margaret. Elizabeth Barrett Browning: A Biography. New York: Doubleday, 1989. Print.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a highly acclaimed English poet with a large reading audience. She was born into a family wealthy from plantations in Jamaica, but very often fell ill to sickness and was considered weak and frail for the majority of her life. A rich, yet difficultly achieved, education garnered her love for poetry, especially Greek epics. The first length of poetry she wrote was based off of Homer’s works. Later she was influenced by Shakespeare, Milton, and from reading works in their original Latin. Elizabeth Barrett Browning well educated—she was an abolitionist and activist for child labor reform. She published one of her most popular collections of poetry, titled Poems, in 1844, which sparked Robert Browning’s initiative to begin correspondence with her, even though he had been following her poetry for quite some time. Once together, Robert and Elizabeth had an immense influence on each other’s writing, and the sonnets in Sonnets from the Portuguese were written by Barrett Browning as a rumination on how her love for Robert and her work intermingled into something beautiful and genuine.

Sonnets from the Portuguese was originally published in 1850. It is a compilation of love sonnets the author had written for her husband, but she was tentative of how her audience would receive the very personal works. She titled the poems Sonnets from the Portuguese in attempt to mask their true origin, but the title is also a reference to Robert Browning’s pet name for her—“My little Portuguese,” and is also a reference to Barrett Browning’s use of the Portuguese formatting of the sonnet. The compilation on its own contains 44 original sonnets that are still widely read, studied, and gifted today. They are massively published by a number of companies, ranging from commercial pocket-sized books to illustrationless copies meant purely for study to huge decorative printings with illuminated decorated letters. The content of the sonnets are ever unchanging, but the diversity of a publisher’s intended purpose for them always puts them in different contexts.
Anatomy of the Books: 1943 vs. 1950
Barrett Browning, Elizabeth. Sonnets from the Portuguese. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1943. Print. Third Printing.
The cover of the 1943 printing of Sonnets from the Portuguese is a faded green thin canvas stretched over pressed cardboard, an effective, pretty, and cheap method to covering books. The cover is also pressed with the title, author, illustration credit, and accompanying illustration in red foil. The font of the title is an ornate yet neat script, a typical decorative font for the 20th century. The red foil on the spine of the book is very faded, implying frequent holding or reading. The overall size of the book itself is larger than usual, giving the impression that it is meant to be looked at and admired instead of read and studied. The edges of the cover are more tinted with dirt as well, where oily fingers would often open the book to leaf through the pages. The edges of the pages are deckled—a trend by the 1940s long made unnecessary by technology but was still aesthetically pleasing to the overall look of the printing.
Inside the book, the pages are yellowed and slightly brittle from exposure. There is a dainty golden double-lined border framing the content of each page into its own illustration. All together there are 8 mounted illustration plates with original paintings by William Pogàny rescaled, printed, and glued to thicker pieces of paper throughout the publication. It is important to note that Pogàny was not commissioned to work on these printings of Sonnets from the Portuguese to produce original works exclusive to the publication, but rather preexisting paintings were used to add visual aesthetic to the book, emphasizing its purpose as a decorative or gift item. The chronological content of the book includes an opening title page with a black and white print of a Pogàny illustration, an actual title page stating the publishing company, the first colored illustration of the book (a pink-toned chamber scene), the table of contents, and then the first sonnet, a very subtle progression leading to the main purpose of the book. The physical layout of the sonnets is fairly simple; the Roman numeral depicting the number of the sonnet is simply printed in a simple font, each sonnet having a subtly drawn decorated letter at the beginning of every first line. Every aspect of the decorations and layout of the book are presented in subtle, graceful ways. On the inside back cover of the book, there is a mark in pencil: “$25.00 8 mounted plates.” Whoever was selling the book understood the process of the mounted illustrations on some of the pages and contributed that to the worth of the book as a whole.
Barrett Browning, Elizabeth. Sonnets from the Portuguese. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1950. Print. Fifth Printing.
The second edition being studied, printed in 1950, seems similar to the previous printing at first, but is actually very different visually. The book is overall larger than the 1943 printing, with a rusty red cover with gold foil for the title and rose image instead of the green with red, and looks much less used. The most notable difference is in the preservation of the pages, which are still white and glossy (most likely from the use of a less grainy type of paper than the 1943 book), despite being only 7 years younger than its yellowing counterpart. The edges of the pages are smooth and not deckled for aesthetic, giving the book an entirely different feeling of pristine presentation rather than a homey and loved book one is meant to leaf through often. The first image of the book is another Pogàny illustration, but the differences between the opening images of the 1943 and 1950 printings are stark and give a lot of insight into how the publishers view both arranged editions:
In the 1943 printing, the very first item seen when opening the book is an illustration of a nude woman with her guitar bound my thorns, body twisted and hair splayed with the title of the poem collection in large elegant writing above. While a beautiful illustration, in the 1950 printing the editors felt the image inspired the wrong kind of feelings when going into a sonnet collection about love. The newer version depicts a woman who is upright, gazing upward and strumming her guitar, bound by nothing. As a result, a reader has a more easygoing, peaceful attitude when entering the book. The rest of the 1950 printing is constructed and arranged in such a way as to promote an easy and serene experience. The font, done in black ink, is more reserved than the earlier printing and there is an absence of any border decoration after the title page. The illustrations are printed on the pages, rather than a separate image being glued down. Some aspects of the 1943 printing that are found at the end of the publication, such as a paragraph explaining the history of Elizabeth and the sonnets, a devoting quote from Robert Browning, and a facsimile of one of the original sonnets written by Elizabeth, have been edited in the 1950 version to be in front of all of the finished sonnets, presenting the history and background knowledge of the works before the actual work. In this way, when comparing the two works, the 1943 publication values reading the sonnets first before the extraneous information, meaning the publishers meant the edition to be read and enjoyed rather than looked at. In the 1950 edition, the reader must sift through the history before reaching the sonnets, which by that time will be thought of more as a historical artifact rather than poetry to be read and admired. Overall, the 1950 version was most likely better preserved and treated with less damaging attention over time as a result of its decorative nature, rather than that of the 1943 edition, which was arranged in a way to be treated as a book for reading and appreciating the sonnets.

The data model must be flexible, and completely the choice of any participating system. There should be no limitation whatsoever, how the data are described and in what ways the entities are connected. Only this approach can ensure, that the exchange and the maintenance of the data is not limited to the library domain, and can be expanded to any existing domain with its free and individual data formats. The link to cultural institutions like museums and archives is obvious, but there must be a possibility of cooperation opened with geographic name space institutions, with the domains of military, education, transport, production, design etc. The data sources should not be limited to institutions, as many experts in certain domains, many scientists are not embedded into institutional hierarchies. They should be capable of enriching the platform data, the doors of ingesting digital data and catalogue information must be open for the widest possible range of participants. The legacy of writers, with a lots of electronic manuscripts and not published materials, have to be able to find their ways into safeguarded and archived library platforms. Citizen science and crowdsourcing must be enabled. The data model should allow for any type of data format, must be definable in a flexible way, without programmers’ intervention.
We have to aim to describe the entities by those experts, who have the deepest and most reliable knowledge about them. Such entities could be any, the mostly used in a library context are persons, institutions (libraries, publishing houses), geographic name spaces and chronological dates, the most important ones being works, instances, agents. Those entities should be described only once and should be linked by connections to other entities. The enrichment should happen strictly by adding information with a very precise information about the source, above all reflecting the trustworthiness of the source. This approach will give to each entity and the relevant connections a quality level qualification, and this is a clear indication of trustworthiness. It allows to every participant to attach information freely and with an immediate effect, but for consumers and users there will be a choice of selecting the range of trustworthiness, as they work and utilize the selected data. In our project we will additionally introduce a module called Loca Credibilia (Trusted Source / Place), which identifies the source and originator of a digital object, allowing to trace back the route of a given digital object. All entries can have many versions, can have competing data entries, but even at individual field level the information of the source, and with this the trustworthiness, is provided and stored.
With the growing amount of data produced and waiting to be processed, it would be a naïve approach to assume, that the problem could be solved by the increase of the number of staff, hiring new cataloguers. The involvement of a broader expert community is a must, but we should not ignore the option of the machine supported processing. The machine can do processes on its own, without manual human intervention, and there are tools and means, by which participants can teach the machine workflow and increase significantly the accuracy of the computer’s process. Many processes in improving the quality of digital materials are already making the life of colleagues easier, and this feature can be easily introduced also in cataloguing the web harvested materials, or in recognition of faces, objects etc. at the identification and cataloguing of still and moving images. The machine can give a huge support in improving data quality.
The sharing of work is a big chance and potential in overcoming the staff shortage (and often the shortage in domain specific expertise). This enhances the quality of data, and can result in a never seen productivity and richness of data. The model of cooperation must be open and transparent for every possible participant. The willingness of forming the word and the information systems is given, as young users are used to it, and this is time for the libraries to make use of this potential. An additional benefit is that the users who are contributing to the richness of the library, will very likely use the materials provided by the system and will come closer to the library domain. The separation of the open world and a closeness/secretiveness of the libraries can disappear, by integrating the library treasures into a broad collaborative system. The bridges to WikiData, WikiMedia, OpenStreetMap and alike can be built and used more extensively, and this will connect further users to the library domain.
The most significant transition regarding the data concept is, that with the introduction of the linked data, we rely on the data being there, where it should be. We do not duplicate the data – probably for the speedy access we cache some data temporarily, but we do not store them for long, we do not store unnecessary duplications. This makes data exchange unnecessary, so the significance of exchange format will disappear with time. This is the direction we are going, but we are all aware, that there is an ecosystem with the legacy data from the past (and present), which we have to feed for around a decade from now on. This makes a complex interfacing necessary, between the linked universe and the existing systems based on data duplication.


Architects CMA and SeARCH were focusing on the question if it would be possible to conceal a house in an Alpine slope while still exploiting the wonderful views and allowing light to enter the building when planing the Villa Vals. They decided to build a central patio into the steep incline to create a large facade with considerable potential for window openings. The viewing angle from the building is slightly inclined, giving a dramatic view of the beautiful mountains on the opposite side of the narrow valley.

The most popular beers across the US [1127×774]
We live in a “diverse and often fractious country,” writes Robert Dawson, but there are some things that unite us—among them, our love of libraries. “A locally governed and tax-supported system that dispenses knowledge and information for everyone throughout the country at no cost to its patrons is an astonishing thing,” the photographer writes in the introduction to his book, The Public Library: A Photographic Essay. “It is a shared commons of our ambitions, our dreams, our memories, our culture, and ourselves.”
But what do these places look like? Over the course of 18 years, Dawson found out. Inspired by “the long history of photographic survey projects,” he traveled thousands of miles and photographed hundreds of public libraries in nearly all 50 states. Looking at the photos, the conclusion is unavoidable: American libraries are as diverse as Americans. They’re large and small, old and new, urban and rural, and in poor and wealthy communities. Architecturally, they represent a range of styles, from the grand main branch of the New York Public Library to the humble trailer that serves as a library in Death Valley National Park, the hottest place on Earth. “Because they’re all locally funded, libraries reflect the communities they’re in,” Dawson said in an interview. “The diversity reflects who we are as a people.”
We love libraries!!
