When I was a kid, I had a strong resemblance to Hermione from Harry Potter. Not in the Emma Watson way – where she looked cute and a little bookish. Just in the straight up “it’s-a-good-thing-she’s-smart-because-her-looks-aren’t-really-her-thing-kinda-way.”*
Not only was my childhood filled with frizzy brown hair and glasses, I also did a lot of reading.
In particular, I had a passion for The Nancy Drew Files and The Cat Who books. I would go to the library each week and check out a new batch of these books until they were all read. All of them.
Though neither was high quality literature, I had a soft spot in my heart for the characters and loved the comfort that comes with formulaic serial fiction.
In fact, just looking at these two covers makes me sad that there aren’t any new ones for me to read now. They are like fuzzy old blankets that might smell a little like the attic, but in a good way.
Did anyone else have a thing for Nancy Drew, James Qwilleran, or a different series?
* I’m in New York right now, so I can’t show you proof. But if you want, I can share a photo next Wineday Friday when I’m back in Chicago.


One of the Library blogs (LibraryDiva.com) that I read had a good post last week on the lack of EC titles in libraries. She did some reasearch on the current list of titles in print EC has on their website to find out how many libraries carry those titles. The highest number of libraries with any one title is 11. That's nationwide! She goes into a pretty good discussion on why, and has a list broken down by title.
So what do you think? And do your public libraries carry any erotica?


Best Fictional Movies and Books about Guinea Pigs
Imagine a guinea pig super spy leaping from a tall building or, maybe a guinea pig asking for more veggies like Oliver Twist? What a world it would be if these things were real: fun to imagine but all fiction! When the weather is bad or you’re sat down for a comfy evening, why not curl up with your guinea pigs and watch a film or read book instead? We have done some searching and have found some great films and books that feature guinea pigs we think you might like!

The Adventure Island Series - Helen Moss
The Adventure Series follows the adventures of Scott, Jack, Emily and Drift the dog. The books are published by Orion and are £4.99
I was quite excited when we received The Mystery of the Hidden Gold and The Mystery of the Missing Masterpiece by Helen Moss to review as they are marketed as being written in the style of Enid Blyton. The cover illustrations are in the same style of Enid Blyton books, presumably to catch parent's attention in the shop and encourage them to buy them.
As a child I loved Enid Blyton books and have recently been reading them to my children who love them too. As an adult re reading Enid Blyton you see that the books are stereotypical of the time they were written, when more well off families had cooks and gardeners and girls helped their Mums with the chores. These books are basically a modern Famous Five book where the main characters use mobiles and ginger beer has been replaced with coke! There is plenty of action and the books kept both my son's interest (aged 5 and 10), so much so that we have bought the first two books in the series and they can't wait until the last two books are out in September.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Homma Munehisa (Honma Munehisa, 1724-1803) was a very skilled commodity (rice) trader around 275 years ago in Sakata, Japan during the Tokugawa Shogunate (Tokugawa jidai) in the Edo Era (Edo jidai). His theatre of operation was the Ojima Rice market in Osaka. He is to be believed the father of the candlestick charting analysis. He appears to be a well known trader with many accolades to his name including being honored as an Honorary Samurai for his trading skills and for his contributions to the advancement of the art of trading.
In total Homma wrote three books which are very very difficult to find. You might check out google books to find them. I went to the library (in Leiden there is an Asian library the largest of Europe) but could not find them. We therefore only know his three main works from an other book called the god of trading found on amazon Amazon link here* It is a great book easy to read, though you will need time if you are a novice. I found an PDF on Homma Munehisa”s book The Fountain of Gold. Soon Will make an short summary and post it. As that book can be found for free on google I strongly encourage it to google or duck duck go it.
Books of Homma Munehisa
- San-en Kinsen Hiroku, The Fountain of Gold – The Three Monkey Record of Money
- Sakata Senjyutsu Syokai A Full Commentary on the Sakata Strategy
- Honma Sokyu – Tales of a Life Immersed
I tried to find these books but that was difficould.
In 1755, he wrote San-en Kinsen Hiroku, The Fountain of Gold – The Three Monkey Record of Money Amazon link here* . This is one of the oldest writing knwon that discusses psychology as an aspect of market behavior.He tells us that psychology is critical to trading and that emotions have a influence on markets.
Homma was the first to give us the 2 markets; bull, bear markets later that has been americanized.
I am sure you have heard about Buying The Rumor & Selling The News. Homma wrote that if you get news about something that could make a profit for you, wait three days and if it still looks good, it should be a profitable trade. We find this information also in the book reminisces of a stock operator See the review here This was based on the extensive Sakata Method discussion from his second book, Sakata Senjyutsu Syokai A Full Commentary on the Sakata Strategy:
Three Crows (Bearish Reversal),
Three Soldiers (Bullish Reversal),
Three Methods (Continuation),
Three Buddhas (Head & Shoulders),
Three Mountains (Triple Top),
Three Rivers (Triple Bottom) and
A lot of what we read today have their roots in the books that Munehisa wrote.
In his third book, Homma Sokyu Soba Zanmai Den, written as Honma Sokyu – Tales of a Life Immersed in the Market, Munehisa shares his methods and techniques that made him a legend. His conservative manner and the defensive attitude he took into the market made him the finest trader to have walked the earth. His humility and the respect he gave the market made him one of the most profitable traders of all time.
But the beauty in the way he wrote it all was lost in translation when the west got hold of his philosophies and turned it into something more aggressive and offensive. And it was this rubbish that was taught to me and this nonsense that I was reading off books.
Never Buy The High. You are on the peak of an mountain thus what and look. Only a fool pays retail
And Never Sell The Low. Looking into the abyss, take you time be calm and what until you can look into the sky.


In this short article, Howard P. Kainz, professor emeritus at Marquette University, discusses the development of conscience in the West, and how conscience acts when confronted with moral evils, and how western conscience can and has given rise to moral evils.
Kainz is the author of several books, including Natural Law: An Introduction and Re-examination (2004), and The Philosophy of Human Nature (2008).
We often hear complaints about the degradation of morality in the contemporary world, as compared with past eras. This may or may not be true. But if we focus on the development of conscience , and particularly in the Western World, which has been affected (even in “post-Christian” regions) by Judeo-Christian values—a definite, gradual improvement is discernible, at least in certain areas.


.NET Framework 4
The .NET Framework is an application development platform that provides services for building, deploying, and running desktop, web, and phone applications and web services. It consists of two major components: the common language runtime (CLR), which provides memory management and other system services, and an extensive class library, which includes tested, reusable code for all major areas of application development.
The .NET Framework for Users
If you do not develop .NET Framework applications, but you use them, you do not need specific knowledge about the .NET Framework or its operation. For the most part, the .NET Framework is completely transparent to users.
If you are using the Windows operating system, the .NET Framework may already be installed on your computer. In addition, if you install an application that requires the .NET Framework, the application's setup program might install a specific version of the .NET Framework on your computer. In some cases, you may see a dialog box that asks you to install the .NET Framework. If you have just tried to run an application when this dialog box appears and if your computer has Internet access, you can go to a webpage that lets you install the missing version of the .NET Framework.
In general, you should not uninstall any versions of the .NET Framework that are installed on your computer, because an application you use may depend on a specific version and may break if that version is removed. Note that multiple versions of the .NET Framework can be loaded on a single computer at the same time. This means that you do not have to uninstall previous versions in order to install a later version.
The .NET Framework for Developers
The .NET Framework provides the following services for application developers:
- Memory management. In many programming languages, programmers are responsible for allocating and releasing memory and for handling object lifetimes. In .NET Framework applications, the CLR provides these services on behalf of the application.
- A common type system. In traditional programming languages, basic types are defined by the compiler, which complicates cross-language interoperability. In the .NET Framework, basic types are defined by the .NET Framework type system and are common to all languages that target the .NET Framework.
- An extensive class library. Instead of having to write vast amounts of code to handle common low-level programming operations, programmers can use a readily accessible library of types and their members from the .NET Framework Class Library.
- Development frameworks and technologies. The .NET Framework includes libraries for specific areas of application development, such as ASP.NET for web applications, ADO.NET for data access, and Windows Communication Foundation for service-oriented applications.
- Language interoperability. Language compilers that target the .NET Framework emit an intermediate code named Common Intermediate Language (CIL), which, in turn, is compiled at run time by the common language runtime. With this feature, routines written in one language are accessible to other languages, and programmers can focus on creating applications in their preferred language or languages.
- Version compatibility. With rare exceptions, applications that are developed by using a particular version of the .NET Framework can run without modification on a later version.
- Side-by-side execution. The .NET Framework helps resolve version conflicts by allowing multiple versions of the common language runtime to exist on the same computer. This means that multiple versions of applications can also coexist, and that an application can run on the version of the .NET Framework with which it was built.
- Multitargeting. By targeting the .NET Framework Portable Class Library, developers can create assemblies that work on multiple .NET Framework platforms, such as the .NET Framework, Silverlight, Windows Phone 7, or Xbox 360.


We all want to feel safe, loved, protected, supported, encouraged…we want to feel seen and heard. Don’t animals deserve the same thing?
If the idea of communicating with animals is new to you, the soul-stirring stories in this book will open your heart and mind to this fascinating world.
In a series of short stories about the many animals that have touched her life, Sherri takes us back to the moment she realizes she has an amazing ability to communicate with animals. She lovingly takes the reader on a journey of how each animal has healed and nurtured her while she does the same for them.
Sherri shares her experiences…sometimes in a time of emotional crisis, or when she is reminded of times when she was deprived by those from whom she deserved love and care. She discovers that she receives generous unconditional love instead from her soul family, the animals with whom she develops deep connections. She describes the magical feeling of touching the emotions and thoughts of the animals that surround us all—from the household pets she works with daily to the extraordinary moment of communicating with an injured wild raptor.
Are you listening to the animals around you?

Remembering the March on Washington 1963
Tim McLaughlin PhD
2 pm Saturday June 18, 2016
CHANGING AMERICA Exhibit: Emancipation Proclamation 1863 & the March on Washington 1963 exhibit
National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum
5255 Pleasant Valley Road PO 55
Peterboro NY 13134
Searching for Memories of the March on Washington in 1963
The National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum (NAHOF) will present a program at 2 pm Saturday, June 18 about the March on Washington August 28, 1963 to accompany the Smithsonian’s traveling exhibition Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963. The exhibit arrived in Peterboro on June 1st and was installed for an opening program on June 4. NAHOF extends a special invitation to people who have memories of the March to bring those recollections, experiences, souvenirs, etc. to the program to share.
Tim McLaughlin PhD, professor emeritus Cazenovia College and Vice-President of NAHOF will describe the Changing America project that commemorates two pivotal achievements on their 150th and 50th anniversaries. One hundred years separate the Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington, yet the events are profoundly linked together in a larger story of liberty and the American experience. Both were the result of people demanding justice. Both grew out of decades of bold action, resistance, organization, and vision.
The Changing America project was created to commemorate these two events. The Emancipation Proclamation committed the nation to ending slavery after tens of thousands of African Americans claimed freedom for themselves during the Civil War. In the years following, the U.S. Congress passed constitutional amendments abolishing slavery, expanding citizenship rights, and giving black men the right to vote. On August 28, 1963, hundreds of thousands of people gathered for the biggest demonstration ever seen in the District of Columbia—a demonstration to mark the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Millions of people around the world watched the march on television. Marchers came in buses, trains, cars, trucks, airplanes, and on foot, from all over the country, to demand that the commitments of 1863 be fulfilled for all Americans. Representatives of many races, classes, and ideologies prayed together, listened to electrifying speeches and stirring music, and called on people to work together to make the nation's founding principles of liberty and equality a reality for all.
The traveling exhibition is presented by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and the National Museum of American History in collaboration with the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The development and tour of Changing America are made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH): Exploring the human endeavor. The public is encouraged to attend the Changing America exhibit and program at 5255 Pleasant Valley Road, Peterboro NY 13134. Admission is free.

The invigorating chill kept visitors strolling from merchant to merchant to stay warm against the swirling gusts buffeting the Calexico Farmer’s Market at Crummett Park on Dec. 29.
Still, shoppers agreed it was a good day to be in the open air. Perusing a variety of wares, Victor and Rosa Nieblas were walking Chunki, their female English Bulldog.
“We’re here to support the Farmer’s Market,” said Victor. “We got a little bit of everything: jicama (the yam bean), broccoli, cauliflower and plums. And it’s inexpensive so you can’t beat it. It’s a win-win.”
Added Rosa, “We come to the Farmer’s Market as often as we can.”
Clutching an enormous stack of books she just purchased from the Calexico Library’s stall of paper and hardbacks Michelle Melendez arrived from Heber to stock up on classic and potboiler titles to replenish the book bin donations she has in her yard.
“It’s for my little free library on the lawn so it spreads the reading,” said Melendez. “I just wanted to take advantage of the Farmer’s Market and books are a favorite item.”
Library volunteers Naomi Salazar and Ismael Alvarez were doing a brisk business as book lovers demonstrated a preference for hard copy rather than Kindle ebooks.
“It should be a good day. Our books are just 25 cents for adult titles and 50 cents for children’s,” said Salazar. “But this is a great way to meet people.”
In between sales of hand-made caps, scarves, shawls and baby blankets, Sandra Tauler, director of the Calexico Community Services Department and organizer of the Farmer’s Market, reminded patrons market days continue on Jan. 12 and 26. She was working on her crochet pieces, a craft she has done since she was 10 years old.
“It’s very relaxing. You get to be creative and you can earn some extra money doing something you like,” she said. “It’s been at least 10 years since we started a crochet club, every Thursday at 4:30 p.m. We invite anyone who wants to learn or share knowledge. I’ve learned so much more since we began.”
Also busy was Hildy Carrillo, executive director of the Calexico Chamber of Commerce. Carrillo was selling a fair amount of jewelry, bracelets, rings and necklaces she finds at cross-border shops.
“I’m a Frida Kahlo (Mexican painter) collector (likeness on pendants and necklaces) so I try to promote the Frida merchandise,” she said. “I’ll buy it in Mexicali and it helps other artists. And then I re-invest it for my artist supplies.”
Carrillo works in acrylics painting abstracts she produces mostly on the fly. She reminded everybody to visit the annual Black & White exhibit at the Carmen Durazo Cultural Arts Center in January.
Scooping up numerous items from Carrillo and Tauler in a post-Christmas shopping splurge was resident Jose D. Garcia.
“I live nearby and I saw the app about the Farmer’s Market on my phone,” he said. “I came down to give them a boost in spite of the cold. These will be gifts for my granddaughter in Calexico.”


On August 26, 2015, 24-year-old WDBJ7 reporter Alison Parker was shot and killed during a live broadcast near Roanoke, Virginia. While his emotions were still raw, her father Andy vowed on national television to do “whatever it takes” to end gun violence in America. He has traveled across the country speaking on behalf of ballot initiatives and pro "gun sense" political candidates.
With assistance from the Georgetown University Civil Rights Law clinic, Andy has taken his fight to Google in an effort to remove the video of Alison’s murder from YouTube and in 2022 created the Andy's Fight PAC to support candidates who believe that both the proliferation of guns and the violence and hate on social media must end.
This book is the story of Andy's fight to honor his daughter's life through action.
"Andy Parker has written a beautiful and important book that grabs your heart with the first sentence and never lets go. I couldn't stop turning the pages with Andy's humanity guiding me through this story as if I was sitting at his kitchen table just listening."
"Andy Parker suffered the unimaginable loss of his daughter to gun violence. His exemplary activism in gun safety is a testament and a tribute to his great love for her."
"This book sends a powerful and inspiring message on the importance of the fight to end gun violence. The strength Andy has shown in turning a tragedy into a force for good in order to make this country and the world a safer pace should be an example for us all."
"Fast paced and riveting, Andy Parker is a gifted storyteller. more importantly, he's an angry father who has written a brilliant book that tells the brutal truth."
"In this no-holds-barred account, Andy makes you fee the pain, the anger, and the longing of a parent who has lost his whole world then uses his considerable gifts as a storyteller to make the reader want to jump up and do something to stop gun violence. this book is an uncensored call to action that cannot be ignored."
"I couldn't put this book down. I read it all in one sitting."

A Biography of Leopold Stokowski
However, with the orchestra Board seeking to cut expenses, and Stokowski seeking to expand the orchestra size and activity, a rupture resulted in which Stokowski resigned. Stokowski and Vanderbilt divorced in October Stokowski organized in the Summer of an new group called the "Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra". Stoki planned to change all that. He did choose a core of players from the Philharmonic, but to these he added many of the best players who were attached to the various movie studios.
Stokowski and Judson had known each other for decades, and Stokowski understood Judson's central role as an impresario. At their meeting, Judson on behalf of the Philharmonic Board invited Stokowski to become the principal guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic.
As you can read in the biographical sketch of Artur Rodzinski , the Philharmonic was having difficulties in their contract negotiations with the Philharmonic Music Director Artur Rodzinski.
Stokowski's first Philharmonic concert was on December 26, Just weeks later, during the first week of February , Artur Rodzinski resigned from the New York Philharmonic without completing the season. The Haffner was Stokowski's only recording of a Mozart symphony, other than the May 9, acoustic recording of the third movement of the Symphony no 40 K Stokowski had given the premiere of the Charles Tomlinson Griffes tone poem The White Peacock during a concert of Friday, December 19, , along with two other Griffes compositions.
Sadly, Griffes died during the influenza epidemic only four months after this concert. Although not commercially recorded, a several good private recordings of this performance are available. Victor issued these recordings with the label: These recordings and their musicians were researched and described by the scholar and discographer James H. North, which you can read by clicking on Leopold Stokowski and "His Symphony Orchestra" , a fascinating article.
During , Stokowski was a guest conductor of orchestras in Europe and the US, including at the Festival of Britain, his first conducting in the UK since his concert of June 14, This was apparently the case, since within days, Stokowski, then age 73 had signed a three year contract as Music Director of the Houston Symphony Orchestra beginning with the season. Also, Stokowski insisted on calling the city "Hooo-stun", again perhaps not to the taste of Houstonians. However, Stokowski did bring excitement and television broadcasts, and an extensive recording program.
As well as his exciting programming and reinvigorating of the Houston musical sceen, Stokowski brought an active recording program to Houston.
His recording program included: However, Stokowski spent less and less time in Houston and in , ended his work in Houston. The ending was somewhat traumatic, as it had been in Cincinnati, Philadelphia and the New York Philharmonic. In a letter sent to the Houston newspapers, Stokowski labeled the Houston Symphony Board as being narrow and also racist.
So, in spite of several seasons of great music-making, and a string of fine recordings still admired today, the relationship did not end without fireworks. The resulting February concerts were Stokowski's first with the Philadelphia Orchestra since April 3, Not only did Stokowski reseat the orchestra to his Philadelphia seating of two decades ago, he also had restored the metal conductor's podium which had been built for him in the s.
These concerts were constructed with Stokowski's inspired programming, and were enthusiastically received by both the audience, with a sustained standing ovations, and by the critics. Stokowski's success was recreated in New York and fine transcriptions of the concerts have since been issued, including from Pristine Classical. Stokowski returned for subsequent Philadelphia seasons, including a Fiftieth Anniversary concert on February 8, , commemorating his first Philadelphia concert of October 11, Oliver Daniel wrote that " Dimitri Mitropoulos was to have conducted Puccini's Turandot at the Metropolitan Opera during February to April, , but his sudden, early death in November, at age 59 prevented this.
Stokowski was then invited by Rudolf Bing to conduct Turandot in Mitropoulos' place which Stokowski readily accepted. Despite great physical discomfort Stokowski had slipped why playing with his sons and had broken his hip in December, , Stokowski prepared thoroughly. He detected errors in the printed score of the Puccini work, involved himself in lighting and costumes, and separately rehearsed singers and chorus.
On opening night, the audience gave the cast and Stokowski an extended ovation. Since so much controversial has been written about the Stokowski Turandot performances, the lengthy details are omitted here. Some critics appreciated the sonority and brilliance of the orchestra, but others heavily criticized the lack of Stokowski cues for the singers, and the lack of the orchestra following the singers and the stage action.
Particular comment centered on the baton-less, smooth gestures, perhaps less visible in the opera house. Robert Sabin in Musical America wrote:. The stage brass could not apparently see his beat given without stick and wavered in several places, though no such catastrophe occurred as did at one performance last season, when they came in fortissimo in the wrong place The eminent critic Winthrop writing in the New Yorker wrote:. The conducting of Leopold Stokowski, who got to the podium on crutches he is still recovering from a serious accident to his hip , is extraordinarily dashing and vivid, and the cast is of such high quality that few opera houses in the world could touch it After the two performances [in December ] for which he had signed a contract, Stoki resigned Stokowski was strongly motivated by the idea to create a new, dynamic New York symphony orchestra, residing at Carnegie Hall, now that the New York Philharmonic had relocated to Lincoln Center.
Abram Chasins who knew at first hand Stokowski's opinions during that period wrote:. Never had he been more eager or ready to build an orchestra of his own - and in New York! However, Stokowski, somewhat in the manner of the All-American Youth Orchestra, auditioned and built an ensemble with a large percentage of youth, of women, and further including black and Asian musicians, in stark contrast to the established symphony orchestras. Also, ticket prices were kept low, and the programming continued Stokowski's genius for the interesting and the innovative.
The creation of the new orchestra did not proceed without problems, and in the end Stokowski needed to subsidize its creation, and bankroll its continuing financial deficits over the next decade. He also conducted without fee. Stokowski built a first line orchestra, and his programming continuing to be innovative, in contrast to the conservatism that often characterized New York City's established ensembles. And Stokowski's string of great recordings continued with the American Symphony.
Particularly remarkable was the first recording of the reconstructed score of Charles Ives Symphony no 4 recorded for Columbia on April 29 and 30, , with conductors David Katz and José Serebrier assisting in the multi-layered score.
The Ives Symphony no 4 is surely a landmark of recording by any measure. Having collected all the commercial recordings of this work I have ever seen, listening to several concert performances and listening again and again to the symphony in order to grasp it, it still seems unmatched.
Other conductors having decades more to digest and study this work have not equaled the integrity and inspiration of the Stokowski reading. Stokowski's reading will not soon be surpassed. During this period, he conducted approximately 25 concerts per season, with four rehearsals per concert.
His relocation back to England, the country of his birth reflected this focus. By the early s, recording in the United States, and particularly in New York became so expensive that the major record companies more and more restricted their recording to Europe.
Particularly in London, with its five great orchestras was easier, and much cheaper costs and musician fees, London was one of the world's most favorable locations for Stokowski's recording projects. Stokowski relocated to Hampshire, south of London in It coupled the Bizet - Symphony in C major recorded June 4, with his first commercial recording of a Mendelssohn symphony: Both are vital, energetic recordings, with the "Italian" having a springy step and invigorating reading that makes it surprising that this symphony was not a central part of the large Stokowski repertoire.
A fitting final pair for career that is, so far, unmatched in innovations and landmark recordings over 65 years. This was done through Stokowski's innovative repertoire, innovative concert formats, youth concerts, and pioneering broadcast techniques. This dissemination of music was further benefited by Stokowski's flair for promoting himself and his music and by the popularity of his stream of recordings from to Stokowski was involved in orchestral recording from the acoustic to the quadraphonic eras, and in pioneering efforts in High Fidelity and stereophonic recording with the Bell Laboratories.

Herbert Marcuse argued that leisure is part of the one-dimensionality of alienated life defined in terms of possessions and market participation. Free and self-determinative action is reduced to choices of products and packaged experiences. Leisure as earned time and purchasing power is one aspect of buying into the capitalist system designed to protect and reward investment capital first. Such alienated leisure is compared to concepts of leisure as action and creative freedom.
However, research into what most people actually do and the meanings they ascribe to their activity suggests that neither the commodification critique nor the creative ideal adequately explain the diversity of contemporary leisure.
Neither, on the other hand, is without analytical merit. The differences are partly based on perspectives. Each approach asks different questions.
Veblen and Marcuse are probably both right… and incomplete. Another metaphor is offered to augment the themes of status symbolism and repressive commodification. Evidence for any perspective, however, is incomplete. Marte-Bettina Partsch , Entfremdung und Revolution: Nicht für den Austausch Webel et al , Marcuse: University Press of America, c , p. Eric Wainwright , "Herbert Marcuse: Freedom and Dialectic," Politikon: South African Journal of Political Studies This article is mainly concerned with the analysis and evaluation of Marcuse's conceptualisation of freedom.
Marcuse differentiates between the realm of freedom and freedom itself — which exists independently of the realm of freedom. The point is made that freedom from want is the substance of all other forms of freedom. The article subsequently focuses on the theoretical and practical considerations of Marcuse's dialectic, followed by a consideration of the factors that limit the possibilities for the attainment of freedom.
Man's movement to freedom, a new genesis for all men, is symbolised in the end of alienation. The article concludes with some points of criticism on Marcuse's use of the dialectic, his belief in the power of destruction, and his idea of conversion.

Maslow's journals are full of critical references to Herbert, and ambivalent to Frank whom he sees as "betraying" him at the time of Herbert's departure to San Diego but Manuel remained a friend, and delivered a eulogy at Maslow's funeral.

David's interest in theater was sparked by stories of his great-grandfather who was a Yiddish theater producer on the Lower East Side of New York City. Katz attended Chestnut Hill Academy and graduated from The Hun School of Princeton , where in he founded their modern crew program.
Katz was the spokesman for Fiddler on the Roof star Topol when he made the controversial move of temporarily leaving the Broadway revival of the show during the first Gulf War to return to Israel as it was weathering scud missile attacks.
Katz wrote the movie The Pest  which has gathered a cult following due to its unusual premise. The Houston Chronicle called the film "Endearing". Julie Newmar and Spawn.

Kudos to what Jared Kardos has already said about the Doctor Who Christmas Special. I‘m in complete agreement with the fact that Moffat has successfully tied up the loose ends related to the Silence and the “Crack in the Wall”. He gave us a very decent story arc that didn’t take too long to complete.
In only three seasons, Moffat has helped bridge much of the older mythos with the new – making this truly one series and not “Classic” and “New”. This is something that our über fan of a producer has always strived to convince audiences of. During his reign, many elements from the original serial have been reintroduced including (not in any particular order): the hypercubes for communicating with other time lords, traveling with his granddaughter, the great intelligence, the back story of “borrowing” the TARDIS, that time lords can change their gender, the TARDIS remembering other control rooms other than the current, the Doctor attempting time travel with just a console that he assembled, the 1st Doctor having no control over where the TARDIS would take him, the swimming pool and the library in the TARDIS, the sisterhood of Karn and their ability to help with reviving and regenerating, the Nimon, the Silurians, the Zygons, the stealing of the high council seal from the Master while in the Death Zone, the Valeyard, and in this last episode that a time lord has 12 regenerations – a total of 13 lives.
He has done much to push the age of the Doctor further than his predecessor. Davies aged the Doctor a handful of years as the 10th Doctor from something like 903 to about 906 years old – a waste of apparently 2 regenerations (according to the reveal in the last episode). With Moffat’s “ 11th Doctor” the Doctor first ages to about 1200ish and while on Trenzalore ages 300 years, and then ages again but doesn’t specify the number of years. This seems to suggest his age range to be somewhere between 1500 and 2000 years old.
Despite all this fun Trivia, the most remarkable feat of Steven Moffat is that he has restored the “story book quality” of Doctor Who and has made the series more appealing to young children. This is evident with the various stories that focused on children: the 11th Hour (the young Amelia praying to Santa to send a policeman), the Beast Below (space whale that answers the cries of the children of England), the Hungry Earth & Cold Blood (the young boy is viewed as the one that sees reason), the Big Bang (young Amelia remembering the Doctor brings him back), A Christmas Carol (influencing Karzan as a young boy to be a better person), the Impossible Astronaut & Day of the Moon (investigating the mystery of a young girl that hides in an astronaut suit and can regenerate), the Curse of the Black Spot (softening the heart of a pirate through the fear of losing his son), a Good Man Goes to War (attempting to save Amy’s baby), Let’s Kill Hitler (young Amy and Rory growing up with their daughter, Melody), Night Terrors (making a house visit due to the nightmares of a young alien boy), the Widow and the Wardrobe (the Doctor gives to fatherless children a Christmas that they’ll never forget), the Snowmen (the great intelligence preyed on a young boy), the Rings of Akhaten (the young Queen of Years must sing to keep the sleeping god asleep), Nightmare in Silver (the Doctor must save the two children that Clara is nanny of), the Day of the Doctor (the Doctor refrains from destroying Gallifrey because of the children), and most recently the Time of the Doctor (the Doctor stays on Trenzalore to protect the town of Christmas and protect its children). Unlike the Davies Years, there is more of an effort to make Doctor Who less a space romance between him and any given female companion and more a fairy tale adventure with all the plot twists that any child can enjoy and follow with ease. The character of the Doctor is very similar to that of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up and flies off having adventures. The only requirement to have adventures with Peter is to not grow up ourselves. So with stories like the Doctor and his TARDIS why would anyone want to grow up? Mr. Moffat, thanks for all the love you put into the series and making it the most popular scifi and children’s program of all time. It feels more like the series that we grew up with now, than it did 4 years ago. May the series always keep us hiding under our bed and behind our sofa. – Whovian4Life 🙂

JOSEPH STEBBINS 9
in the new army which he was raising to defy Gage. As fast as the men found places they were transferred to the rolls of the new service with pay from the day they left Deerfield. Capt. Locke was given a post of honor in the new army. In some way—it may have been his soldierly bearing or his known activity in the rebel cause—Stebbins had attracted the attention of Ward who, on April 27, appointed him Captain in Col. Jonathan Brewer's regiment, and his appointment was forwarded to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. It may be a surprising statement, but it is a fact, that Stebbins was appointed a Captain in the rebel army nearly two months before Washington was placed in his exalted position.
For unexplained reasons, before Stebbins's commission was received, Ward placed Stebbins in Col. Prescott's regiment, and on the night of June 16, he was active with pick and spade at Bunker Hill, while the next day he was in the thickest of the fight, serving as a Captain under Brewer, with a company not fully recruited.
His commission, dated July 1, 1775, signed by John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, now hangs in Memorial Hall. This Congress was made up of men selected from the leading spirits of the rebel colonies.
This commission shows Stebbins to have been a Captain in the Seventh Regiment raised by Washington for the Revolutionary Army.
The commission follows:—
The Delegates of the United Colonies of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, the Counties of New-Castle, Kent, and Suffex on Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina and South-Carolina to Joseph Stebbins, Esquire.
We reposing especial Trust and Confidence in your Patriotism, Valour, Conduct and Fidelity DO by these presents constitute and appoint you to be Captain of a Company in the 7th Regiment, commanded by Col. Brewer, in the army of the United Colonies, raised for the Defense of American


Active Teaching Lab Recap: Critical Readers in CSCR WITH Cid Freitag
Tue October 20, 2015
In the Active Teaching Lab on October 20, 2015, Cid Freitag, Dan LaValley, and Emmanuel Contreras from DoIT Academic Technology shared examples and techniques for making critical readers with CSCR.
- The Knowledge Base has Critical Reader templates – they are a great place to start!
- Plan how to scaffold your students in their reading – make assignments more structured at the beginning, and train them to read as scholars in your discipline read. Then later you can have assignments that provide students the opportunity to explore a text more, rather than being guided through it step-by-step.
- To get open-ended responses from your students about a reading, you can embed a Google Form in the CSCR. You can also embed a link to the responses to the Form, so that students can see what each other wrote.
If you’re interested in learning more to get up and running with CSCR, watch the videos below and try stepping through the CSCR worksheet we created for the session! You can also view their slides from the session and check out our related Active Teaching Lab on interactive case scenarios with CSCR.

History Meme > 1/7 Pairings: Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement.” - Scott to Zelda”Goodnight dear. If you were in my bed it might be the back of your head I was touching, where the hair is short, or it might be up in the front where it makes little caves above your head. But wherever it was, it would be the sweetest place, the sweetest place.” - Zelda to ScottShortly after finishing high school, Zelda Sayre met F. Scott Fitzgerald at a country club dance, but was unimpressed and agreed with her family on his limited financial prospects to provide for a family. With his professed infatuation, a light flirtation evolved into a lengthy long distance courtship of weekly letters. Determined to obtain financial security, and thus Zelda, Fitzgerald increased his writing from articles to his first book. On March 20, 1920, Scribner’s Sons agreed to publish his novel “This Side of Paradise” and Fitzgerald immediately cabled Zelda, who agreed to travel to New York to marry and live with him. The couple wed in New York on April 3, 1920, and later moved to Europe. Their marriage was a tangle of jealousy, resentment and acrimony. Scott used their relationship as material in his novels, even lifting snippets from Zelda’s diary and assigning them to his fictional heroines. The strain of her tempestuous marriage, Scott’s increasing alcoholism, and her growing instability presaged Zelda’s admittance in 1930 to a sanatorium in Maryland, where she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. While there, she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, Save Me the Waltz, which was published in 1932. Scott was furious that she had used material from their life together, though he would go on to do the same, as in Tender Is the Night, published in 1934; the two novels provide contrasting portrayals of the couple’s failing marriage.[x]

As I go back and forth between the news and archived essays by Jeremy Ingalls, some of which were written before our current president was born, I can’t help wondering what Ingalls would have thought about Barak Obama as the first African American president. Prior to the announcement that Ingalls was the Yale Younger Poet Prizewinner for 1941, she wrote in an essay, “The Road Beyond Violence,” that “part of the informing spirit of every poet ‘out of the ivory tower,’ [is] the poet seeing himself once more a legislator with a post to fill in society.” Before poets were invited to speak at presidential inaugurations, and before we had women in the U.S. legislature, Ingalls became one of those legislators of poetry, extolling the work of Margaret Walker, the first African American to win the Yale Younger Poet’s prize for her collection For My People (1942) as “a genuine poetry of indignation and challenge.” Walker’s “cadenced verses ripe in imagery,” were, according to Ingalls, written for a people “indicting the world they never made,” while also challenging people to undertake “that world’s re-making through strength born of their long endurance.” Indeed, the final poem in Walker’s collection, “The Struggle Staggers Us,” speaks of the endurance “for pride, for simple dignity,” that is an ongoing struggle, begun long before the emancipation proclamation and the battle for civil rights and continuing today among many different people and cultures, throughout the world. “This is more than fighting to exist;” Walker declared, “…more than revolt and war and human odds. /There is a journey from me to you. /There is the journey from you to me. /A union of the two strange worlds must be.”
In their parallel journeys toward poetic self discovery, it seems that Ingalls and Walker had more in common than the distinguished prize they shared in consecutive years. Walker, whose poetry manuscript was the basis for a Master’s in Fine Arts from the University of Iowa Writer’s Program before it was published by Yale University Press, also juggled the hats of poet, scholar, and eventually, professor. Walker returned to the University of Iowa for a PhD, and, like Ingalls, taught literature for 30 years before retiring to write full time. Both poets published several books in their lifetime, and yet neither poet seems to be as well known or remembered today as many of the poets who influenced and inspired them. Perhaps their legacy remains, more humbly, among the generations of students and scholars whom they taught.
Jeremy Ingalls’ essay “The Road Beyond Violence” was written in praise of younger poets—among them Muriel Rukeyser, Dylan Thomas, and Delmore Schwartz—all of whom Ingalls, who was 30 at the time, accurately felt were “significant spokesmen for their times.” Switching hats from scholar to poet, Ingalls concluded her essay with a poem of her own, which she felt developed some of the themes she saw in the poetry of her contemporaries. “An age of violence,” Ingalls wrote at a time when the U.S. was on the cusp of entering World War Two, “begets its own philosophy of redemption.” The themes she examined in her essay attempted to find “the urgent need…among ‘the just men,’ for the recovery of justice in our times.” Her poem addressed the “present impasse in personal, national, and international problems,” which she offered as “a challenge on three levels, religious, political, and literary,” because it “poses the total problem of physical and spiritual survival in a world deformed by violence.” In a world which remains deformed by violence, perhaps Walker’s “journey” and Ingalls’ “road” have converged, and are redeemed in a modern-day “recovery of justice”—the election of Obama—that happened just beyond their lifetimes, but which they each would have whole-heartedly embraced.
The Road Beyond Violence
The road beyond violence will be taken.
That we go between the legs of Hell to find it
Is little enough and not enough to say.
Cancerous flesh, lack-blood, and ague-shaken,
Maimed, mute, blinded, plunged on terror,
Nevertheless are some will find the way.
There is a heart which does not die of bleeding.
Not a gentle excursion chance-chosen,
Not gentlemanly, not footsoft or gay.
A martyr’s goatpath and the mind ascending
Every negation but one and that affirming
A sun to reach more bright than planet day.
Not a road to be found by cautious verging
Little retreats from horror falling later
And less gently to the ready slough.
This heart I speak of is a mightier urging,
A road to be taken by some and not later
The path of the burning footsoles taken now.
Jeremy Ingalls, 1941


Cents of the year 1794 are favorites with numismatists. Several dozen different varieties were produced, one of which, the Starred Reverse, remains a numismatic enigma. Around the reverse border denticles are 94 tiny five-pointed stars. The curiosity, chronicled by Dr. William H. Sheldon in his landmark reference on cents of the years 1793-1814, Penny Whimsy, designated this as variety S-48. Opinion is divided concerning the origin of the piece. Don Taxay described it as a pattern, while Dr. Sheldon was inclined toward the view that it was just a curiosity, the result of a whim by an engraver during an idle hour at the Mint. Whatever its origin or intent the Starred Reverse is the most famous cent of the year.
In the late 19th century Dr. Edward Maris used his knowledge of Latin and medicine to give 1794 cents, which he studied in detail, such names as Ornate, Venus Marina, and Shielded Hair, to mention just a few. One early cent die is known to collectors as the Office Boy Reverse, presumably because no regular engraver could have produced such an amateurish job. Fanciful description given to cents of 1794 and other early years has heightened their appeal. The Early American Coppers Club publishes Penny-Wise, a journal devoted to the rarity, prices, and idiosyncrasies of 1794 cents and other early copper issues, particularly of the 1793-1814 era.
In 1795 numerous die varieties were produced. Interesting among them are the reeded edge cent, whose origin and purpose are unexplained, and the so-called Jefferson Head, presumed to have been a pattern issued by John Harper, a saw maker, who supplied material to the Mint at various intervals during the period and who actively solicited a contract for private coinage.
The uncertain supply of copper remained a problem which was not solved until regular shipments of prepared planchets (complete with raised rims) were received from Boulton & Watt, of Birmingham, England, toward the end of the decade. Previous to that time copper was of irregular quality. Supplies from certain sources were coarse and discolored. This accounts for the wide variation of metallic surfaces observed on early copper coins of the period.
The Liberty Cap design, in use since 1793, was discontinued part way through 1796 in favor of Robert Scot's Draped Bust design, a style which was subsequently utilized through 1807. Within this period are to be found many different die variations, including such errors as the 1796 LIHERTY, several varieties lacking stems to the reverse wreaths, and one famous blundered die, the so-called Three Errors Reverse, which lacks one wreath stem, has the mathematically meaningless fraction 1/000 (instead of 1/100), and has UNITED spelled as IINITED. The rarest date in the large cent series, the 1799, is also of the draped bust style. A search for a cent of his birth date, 1799, led 17-year-old Joseph J. Mickley to learn more about coins. Later he was to become the most prominent American numismatist of the early 19th century. The 1804 cent, also of the draped bust style, is remarkable for its rarity.
An interesting variety of the 1804 cent was made around the year 1860. Known as the "restrike," the piece should more properly be termed the creation, for a restrike implies a later use of something that was earlier produced. In the present instance, the die combination used to make the 1804 restrike was never employed for circulating coinage.
The obverse die, dated 1804, was crafted by altering an 1803 cent die. The reverse die was originally used on a cent of 1820 and is stylistically much different from that used on an original 1804 (the 1820 reverse has a continuous wreath without an opening at the tope, whereas the 1804 wreath is open). Although not much is known about the actual circumstances surrounding the issue of this famous "restrike," it probably was produced from dies sold as "scrap iron" by the United States Mint during the 1850s. For a number of years this piece was catalogued as the "Mint Restrike," for specimens evidently were first sold by employees at the Philadelphia Mint, or perhaps they emanated from private sources in the same city. Considering the rusted state of the dies and also the surface similarities of the 1804 issue to other restrikes from discarded dies (such as the 1811 restrike half cent with the reverse of 1802, and the 1827 restrike quarter) it seems doubtful that this venerable minting institution was indeed the source. Such a production would have been the cause of embarrassment and would have directed unfavorable attention to Mint activities (as it was, the Mint was indeed producing restrikes, but care was taken to use dies that were excellently preserved, not rusted!). Today the 1804 "restrike" is avidly collected as an interesting curiosity of the period.
In 1808 Reich's classic head style was adopted. Coinage continued through 1814, when lack of copper planchets forced suspension. Cents from this era are often weakly struck and are on planchets which discolored easily.
Later Date Large Cents
In 1816 Robert Scot redesigned the cent. Miss Liberty appeared with a coronet on which the word LIBERTY was inscribed. With several variations, this style was continued until 1839, at which time it was superseded by Gobrecht's braided hair style. The braided hair motif, also with several variations, continued through 1857. Cents of the later years were chronicled by Howard R. Newcomb in United States Copper Cents 1816-1857, published in 1944. Scarce dates among later cents include the 1821, 1823, and 1857. 1839 saw the production of several different distinct varieties: the Head of 1838, the Head of 1840 (braided hair style), and the curiously-named Silly Head and Booby Head.
In 1849 the Committee of Ways and Means advised Robert Maskell Patterson, director of the Mint, that it was studying the reduction of the size of the one-cent piece. In 1850, the following year, the Mint produced several patterns. Struck in billon (an alloy of 90% copper and 10% silver) and copper, the pieces had holes at the center in the manner of Chinese coins. The diameter approximated that of a dime. In 1851 additional patterns were made of the so-called annular, or ring, cent. The cumbersome large cent was finding increasing disfavor with the public, and many complaints were registered with the Mint and government officials. In 1853 patterns containing nickel and copper in various alloy mixtures were produced. It was believed that nickel, being valued at $2 per pound, would permit a smaller diameter coin to be made with the intrinsic value remaining sufficiently high. The following year, 1854, saw the production of additional patterns. Made in copper and related alloys, the pieces depicted various designs including Liberty Seated (crudely reduced on a pantograph lathe from the obverse of an 1854 silver dollar), a Liberty Head style similar to that used on regular issue large cents but without stars, and a flying eagle design resurrected from Gobrecht's pattern silver coins of 1836-1839. In 1855 additional flying eagle patterns were made.
As experimentation continued, demand for the abandonment of the old-style copper cent increased. James Ross Snowden reported that by 1857 the production of large copper cents and half cents barely paid the coinage expenses involved. The Act of February 21, 1857, provided that a new standard be adopted and thus sounded the death knell for the old-type coppers. The public was urged to redeem all cents of the old standard. Within a few years large cents became curiosities.
Rare Large Cents
The rarest dates and major varieties are these:
- 1793 Chain AMERI. The first U.S. cent variety. Most examples known are in lower grade ranges. A Mint State coin is worth $100,000 or more.
- 1793 Chain AMERICA. Produced in several varieties.
- 1793 Wreath. The most often seen type of 1793, but still rare.
- 1793 Strawberry Leaf. Wreath type, but with a "strawberry leaf" above the date. only a few are known, and these are well worn. Value: $100,000 or more.
- 1793 Liberty Cap. Very elusive in all grades.
- 1794 Starred Reverse. Only a few dozen are known. The finest is VF-35 to EF-40 and is valued at over $100,000.
- 1799 This is the rarest date in the large cent series. VF and EF coins have sold for $10,000 to $25,000 or so.
- 1804 Rarest 19th century large cent date.
- 1824: In 1824, large cents of various dates, primarily 1816-1823, were counterstamped privately with dies depicting the head of George Washington on the obverse and Lafayette on the reverse. The occasion was the return to America in 1824 of Lafayette, the French hero of the American revolution. Congress designated him as "the nation's guest." Such counterstamped coins are very rare today, and fewer than 20 are believed to exist (other coins, including half dollars, were also counterstamped).
- 1839/6 Overdate. Rare. Nearly all known specimens are in worn grades, Good to VF.
1868 Large cent. A "special piece,' struck at the Mint in 1868, using the exact designs of the Braided Hair style last regularly employed in 1857. About a dozen are known. Value in 1993: About $12,000 EF, $20,000 Proof
