Under most debian deriviatives such as Debian, Ubuntu or MINT it should suffice to install
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev mpi-default-bin mpi-default-dev
It might happen that your distribution's Boost version is too old. To install Boost from scratch, first install any versions of the Boost libraries installed on your computer using your stock package manager. Then download and build boost from source (with MPI support). To that end, follow the instructions found in the MPI section of the boost website http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html
Before you build Auryn make sure to delete the
CMakeCache.txt file and all other
CMakeFiles in the build directory to ensure that CMake looks for the new library and creates the needed Makefiles.
If you can compile your Auryn programs, but you see an error along these lines
./sim_rc_p10c: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_mpi.so.1.61.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
it's probably because you have installed Boost under the default path
/usr/local/lib, but your environment is only looking in
/usr/lib for dynamically linkable libraries. In this case it is usually enough to update your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
You could for instance add the following to your
.bashrc if you are using bash:

The ETT-101 Laboratory Manuals (Volumes 1 and 2) provide a turn-key solution for the teacher and student alike.
The manuals are specially written to guide students through hands-on experiments and help them grasp the fundamental concepts of telecommunications. Each chapter includes background information which relates the experiment content to real-world applications.
Since telecommunications text books represent the math and concepts of telecommunications theory as 'block diagrams', the '101' Lab Manuals make extensive use of block diagrams throughout. Associated with each block diagram are detailed, step-by-step patching diagrams. Each chapter is carefully paced and constant use is made of questions to verify the student's understanding and provide feedback to the teacher.
The ETT-101 User Manual contains brief descriptions of each block function on the unit, its specifications and operating instructions. Students only need refer to this manual upon beginning a course, after which time using the system becomes easy and intuitive.

Introducing Etta Lemon – the passionate and pioneering conservationist who built the early RSPB. Militant from the start, Etta called out the fashion for 'murderous millinery' as a church-going girl in the 1880s. Her 50-year campaign against the plumage trade saved countless bird species from extinction. Yet she has not been remembered by history.
First published in 2018 as Mrs Pankhurst's Purple Feather: Fashion, Fury and Feminism – Women's Fight for Change, this book shines a light on the interlinked (and often fractious) movements for women's rights and animal rights. Today, the need for an eco activist role model is arguably more urgent, and Etta has taken her rightful place centre stage. This is her moment.
Praise for 'Etta Lemon: The Woman Who Saved The Birds'
'Etta Lemon is one of the great heroines of British nature conservation. Her long and doughty campaign against ‘murderous millinery’ led to the founding of the Royal Society For the Protection of Birds and saved millions of birds'
Constance Craig-Smith, The Daily Mail
'Boase has done a superb job of linking her personalities, and painting vivid pictures of their life struggles and fighting techniques. This book is an unputdownable account of a forgotten campaign, and of a group of women who have been hidden from history for too long'
Catherine Horwood, Women's History Review
'The story of the RSPB is just one of many layers in Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather. Boase skilfully interweaves the fate of the South American macaw, the huia bird of the New Zealand, the African marabou stork, the snowy egret and the Indian green parrot with the story of women’s suffrage. The relationship between the two campaigning groups is profoundly interesting – their similarities, their differences and the public reception of their spirited attempts to bring change'
Constance Watson, The Oldie
'Brilliantly conceived. For although neither of Boase’s convention-shucking heroines had a jot of sympathy with the other’s cause, the consequences of their campaigns for progress dovetailed in a dazzling arc'
Helen Brown, The Daily Telegraph
'A fascinating and much neglected subject, brilliantly explored. The characters on both sides come vividly to life, and what Boase uncovers through her research into working conditions in the fashion trade is truly shocking'
Professor John Carey
‘A resolutely feminist work of scholarship, recovering numerous women often overlooked by more conventional suffrage narratives'
Helen Saunders, Times Literary Supplement
'A vividly written, deeply researched, surprising book… Fascinating untold stories – a feather in the cap of this journalist author'
Rose Shepherd, Saga magazine
'A provocative and illuminating read… by turns fascinating and horrifying'
Philippa Stockley, Country Life
'Full of fascinating historical detail and colourful characters. A great story of pioneering conservation, beautifully told'
‘Beautifully written, well researched and absolutely fascinating’
Sir Tony Robinson
'Enthralling. In the centenary year of the Representation of People Act, this book reminds us that women fought other campaigns too'
Dr Simon Wills, Who Do You Think You Are
'Shocking, frequently funny and full of unexpected information'
Henrietta Garnett, Literary Review
'Riveting, dextrously told, vividly imagined, shrewdly analysed. Tessa Boase has worked a little bit of magic here in bringing these [women] to life, and championing the cause of the unsung'
Conor Jameson, British Birds
'Truly eye-opening. Boase presents us a great gift in this book; the opportunity for correction to a host of historical oversights, misunderstandings, and in the case of Etta Lemon, seemingly intentional erasures – we would be wrong not to accept it with gratitude'
Johannes E. Riutta, The Well-Read Naturalist
'Fascinating and fast-moving. I enjoyed it very much and learned a lot. A challenging read for men, or at least this man, but I’m pretty sure that reading this book did me a lot of good'

This book is an invaluable gift from the Tibetan masters to the modern world. Master Tenzing Wangyal Rinpoche has immaculately explained the ancient Tibetan wisdom of sound healing through this book and the CD attached to it. Modern science has taught us to be rational and to believe in the things that we could see and touch. Cause of disease or sickness are always attributed to external factors. Medicine, pills and injection are prescribed as an antidote to the disease. Modern science has greatly helped the humanity in providing the required medicine in healing our disease. But this healing has been limited to physical only. In the good old days, people lived healthily without the benefit of modern science and its gadgets. Our forefathers looked inside to maintain proper mental and physical health. Emphasis is laid on the internal spiritual health. This book is about healing and maintaining our health through the application of sacred sound along with the rTsa rLung [Channel and wind] exercise. The six sacred warrior syllables are: Aa, Om, Hung, Ram, dZa.These six sacred sounds are called warrior because like a warrior they can eliminate and destroy the blocks and negativities within ourselves. The practice involves meditation, and application of specific sound at the Chakras to clear the blocks and make space for positive energy. We all wish for good things and wants happiness, but we fail to make space inside for the good and happy things to come and settle. Each warrior syllables act on the specific chakra on the channel to bring positive vibration and energy. White Aa syllable at the crown chakra is associated with space; the analogy is clear desert sky. Red Om syllable at the throat chakra discovers the awareness within that space. Blue Hung syllable at the heart chakra is the union of space and awareness. Red Ram syllable represent the ripening of the positive quality. Green dZa syllable is the place of manifestation. In a nutshell, these five chakras represent: space, awareness, energy, growth and attainment.
With this practice of six warrior sound syllables along with meditation, we are assured of good internal as well as external health. With the six warrior syllables as main, the book also enumerates the five important rTsa rLung exercises to cleanse ourselves of negative emotions and replace it with positive emotion and good health. These exercises are rTsa rLung exercise of: Upward movement, life-force, fire-like, pervasive and downward movement. These exercises and meditation can also be seen as important path and method toward effective understanding and practice of dZogchen teaching. This is a simple but very valuable book to discover the space within ourselves to live healthily and positively. | library |

Second use SMI Modules to define the MIB modules (that is the module names found in the MIB files) to be loaded.
Once that is done mark the checkbox Enable OID resolution.
You will be asked to restart Wireshark, which is needed to actually load the modules from the MIB files.
The library used to resolve OIDs to names from the modules is rather picky on MIB module correctness. If there are bugs in the MIB modules it will complain loudly. You may mark the checkbox Suppress SMI errors, but it still may not work. Also make sure MIB modules where object and syntaxes are imported from can be loaded.

Photographer: Simela Pantzartzi
The National Library of Greece is making a bet on its future. From the historic neoclassical building in the center of Athens, one of an iconic ‘triplet’ of imposing public buildings erected by Theophil von Hansen and Ernst Ziller in the 19th century, the library is methodically preparing for a historic move and its transition into a new era, housed in the airy yet monumental building erected by architect Renzo Piano for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC).
In its new 22,000-square meter premises, it will provide the Greek public with access to a wealth of Greek knowledge and literature, either directly or in digital form, or through temporary exhibitions.
At the building on Panepistimiou Street, preparations are underway ahead of the move. The reading room has been temporarily closed to the public and every corner is a hive of activity, with library employees and external staff, conservators in white coats and plastic gloves preparing the collections to be transferred, once the SNFCC is officially turned over to the Greek State on 23 February.
The move is expected to last up to six months and the library will then operate on a trial basis for about two months before an official inauguration in the autumn. The old building on Panepistimiou Street is destined to reopen as a reading room and as a conference and exhibition space in the city center.
National Library director Dr. Philippos Tsimboglou told the ANA that the library’s entire collection of books and periodicals, estimated at 760,000 volumes and other items, is to be moved.
The National Library’s collection includes a number of original editions from the earliest days of the printing press, such as the 1476 book ‘Epitome of the Eight Parts of Speech and Other Sundry Necessities’ by Constantinos Laskaris printed in Milan or a first edition of the Homeric epics printed in Florence in 1488 and others. There is also a large collection of hand-written codices, rare maps, engravings and other items either purchased, donated or presented under the depot legal, a law requiring that two copies of each Greek edition be given to the National Library dating back to its foundation in 1834.

Lewis and the much younger Joy Davidman, a divorced Jewish New Yorker, former Communist and Christian convert.
The smart, brash Joy bursts into Lewis’ sedate, middle-aged life and upends it. Lewis is as shocked as anyone to discover that he and Joy have fallen deeply in love – and then almost immediately he must contend with the equally deep pain of losing her when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Funny, poignant and insightful, Shadowlands — also an Oscar®-winning film — is a moving portrait of love and loss, faith and doubt, as inspired by Lewis’ own A Grief Observed. | library |

From the Sea to the Land Beyond is a film by award winning director Penny Woolcock and is a lyrical portrait of Britain’s coastline, created through an exquisite combination of evocative archive footage (all drawn from the BFI National Archive) and not only celebrates our identity with the British sea and coastline, but celebrates the superb archive which is held at the BFI.
Travelling from 1901 through both World Wars, into peacetime and the modern age, From the Sea to the Land Beyond shows our coast as a place of leisure, industry and wild nature. With an emphasis on the romantic and the ritualistic, the archive footage used in the film’s assembly is rich and varied. Both film and music incorporate themes of work, play, childhood, romance, melancholy, hope, transportation, wilderness, the power of the elements and the beauty of wildlife.
Amongst many memorable and poignant images are those of a woman scaling a sheer cliff face to collect eggs, a group of Edwardian gentlemen playing beach combat games on the verge of World War I, bathers in top hats, a troupe of dancers on a pristine beach, the arrival by ship of émigrés from the Caribbean and India, the building of the Channel Tunnel, and present-day holidaymakers battling the wind and rain in Blackpool.
The film is comprised mainly of clips from four major BFI National Archive collections: the world-famous Mitchell and Kenyon films; Topical Budget (British silent era newsreels); public information films from the COI collection; travelogues from the British Transport Film Unit.
In her introductory essay in the DVD booklet, director Penny Woolcock writes:
‘In these days of formatted, factual entertainment and docu-soaps, tabloid television is created with twitchy fingers on the remote control in mind. Filmmakers find it hard to resist demands for commentaries that inform the viewer what they are about to see and reminding them of it as soon as it is over, and shovelling all the best bits in the film into the first couple of minutes and repeating later. The opportunity of making something without these attendant anxieties was irresistible.’
Included amongst the DVD’s special features are some of the archive films which were used in From the Sea to the Land Beyond. One of them, Beside the Seaside, directed by Marion Grierson in 1935, is a wittily observant documentary that shows Londoners flocking to the coast to enjoy themselves during a heatwave. This, and the other archive films included as extras, feature newly recorded introductions by Penny Woolcock.
Conceived and produced by Heather Croall, director of Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Mark Atkin, director of Crossover Labs. From the Sea to the Land Beyond premiered in Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre with a live score – to a standing ovation – in June 2012 (some of us were there). The project was funded by The Space, an initiative of the BBC and The Arts Council. British Sea Power, a band famed for their live shows, have subsequently performed their original score at further screenings of the film.
So not only can we highly recommend this release! We can also offer the opportunity to win a copy of From the Sea to the Land Beyond on DVD!
As mentioned above we have a copy of the BFI’s new DVD From the Sea to the Land Beyond to give away… all you need to do is ansewer this very simple question.
SS Saxonia is featured in From the Sea to the Land Beyond via Mitchell and Kenyon’s film ‘SS Saxonia in Liverpool’ (1911), but what was the destination for her maiden voyage from Liverpool?
We need the name of the city and not the country by the way.
Simply email the answer to [email protected] with ‘From the Sea to the Land Beyond’ in the subject header by the afternoon on Friday 8th March. The lucky winner will then be announced later that Friday evening.
Our thanks to the BFI for releasing a fantastic DVD. | library |

Twenty-five men and women were accused.
Nineteen hung to their death on Gallow Hills.
One suffocated under bone-crushing stones.
All believed to possess the power of witchcraft.
In 1692 the fear of witchcraft is spreading around Salem Village. While those who are accused and sentenced face death, everyone else faces the risk of accusations placed upon them.
I was drawn in to Emmalyn’s world from the very first page as she grieves for her mother who was tried and hanged as a witch. 1692 Salem is a dark place where many women are accused and sentenced to death as witches, but Emmalyn does her best to stay strong and live out her life in peace. There is so much danger looming and virtually every woman in Salem worries that she might be the next accused witch.
When a mysterious vine starts to grow in her home, she fears for her life as the dark magic is evidence that she is a witch. When James, a handsome stranger comes to town, he both excites and worries Emmalyn. He hides a world of secrets behind his piercing blue eyes.
Author Angela Archer weaves a beautiful tale of loss, love, trust, and the darkness that humanity can sometimes force upon others. I enjoyed protagonist Emmalyn’s authenticity and strength through the entire book. The tension and drama builds with every passing chapter.
I was not prepared for the epic twist at the ending! You will not want to miss what happens in this beautifully written historical tale.
Historical romance and fantasy fans alike will enjoy Where The Black Roses Grow.

With the possible exception of Jesus, one is hard-pressed to think of another figure in Western history about whom so little is known and yet so much is written. Even as the undisputed facts of the Bard’s life, though they are certainly more numerous than could be expected for a playwright living in the 16th century, remain maddeningly few (and maddeningly quotidian) works purporting to unravel the mysteries of Shakespeare the man – his personal beliefs, familial relationships, even his sexual inclinations – multiply unabated.
Ironically, the very meagerness of the historical record has been something of a boon to this Shakespeare industry, lending credence to an entire subgenre of sometimes wildly speculative notions from authors perhaps overeager to find some new revelatory scrap in the thoroughly picked-over carcass of Shakespearean scholarship. One need only glance at the veritable library of books devoted to this pursuit to uncover head-spinning pronouncements insisting that Shakespeare was a secret homosexual, a Catholic spy, or the author of the King James Bible — to name just three theories that have been seriously floated in recent years. Besides their implausibility, all share a common theme: Shakespeare was an extraordinary writer, and so it stands to reason that he must have led an extraordinary life.
This desire to aggrandize the life of Shakespeare has found its perhaps inevitable conclusion among those who choose to dispense with that life altogether. These “anti-Stratfordians” — a motley and growing assortment of intellectuals, fringe academics, and devoted dilettantes — contend that the paltry list of humdrum facts surrounding the life of the man from Stratford-upon-Avon could not possibly describe the same genius who produced such monuments of English literature as Hamlet and King Lear. In the poor player’s stead, the anti-Stratfordians have argued for a host of late 16th century luminaries who were supposedly better equipped to be Shakespeare than Shakespeare, a list that’s included everyone from Christopher Marlowe to Francis Bacon.
This “authorship question” has been making the rounds for over two hundred years, but the 20th century saw the debate pick up steam, and not just among well-read cranks – along the way the anti-Stratford movement acquired such famous adherents as Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, and Malcolm X. What led these men, along with so many others, to adopt a theory that mainstream scholarship had so completely and convincingly dismissed? And why, in the light of overwhelming evidence for Shakespeare as the true author of the works bearing his name, does the debate continue to flourish?
Those are the questions James Shapiro’s Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare attempts to answer. Shapiro isn’t so much concerned with making the case for Shakespeare’s authorship (though he does dutifully trot out the evidence in the book’s final chapter) as he is in profiling some of history’s more well-known Shakespeare deniers in an attempt to make sense of the underlying question in this strange debate: Why, to put the matter simply, isn’t Shakespeare good enough?
The reasons range from simple classist snobbery to a need among some to either exalt Shakespeare on the one hand or dethrone him as a bolt-from-the-blue literary god on the other. But for Shapiro, the fundamental disagreement between Shakespeare boosters and those who argue for someone else as the author is essentially a philosophical one. On one side are the anti-Stratfordians, many (but not all) of whom methodically disassemble the plays and poems for insight into what “Shakespeare” thought, felt and directly experienced, reasoning that he couldn’t have possibly composed his works without leaving some trace of himself — intentional or not — behind.
On the other are Stratford supporters like Shapiro, who take an agnostic view regarding just how much of his life Shakespeare transmuted into art and argue that it doesn’t much matter anyway — Shakespeare surely borrowed from books, recycled overheard stories, and invented from whole cloth as much as he drew from the details of his own life when writing – everything is impossibly tangled together. These different approaches to reading Shakespeare, Shapiro argues, collapse into one simple question: can fictive literary works exist as independent creations wholly removed from their authors’ experiences and feelings? In other words, does the author of a written work of fiction necessarily stamp her head and heart onto every page of her creation, leaving her true self buried somewhere in her art, where it patiently waits to be teased out by those perceptive enough to uncover it?
For most anti-Stratfordians, and indeed for many modern observers who accept the view that Shakespeare from Stratford was the author of the works, the answer to the last question is a resounding “yes.” One need only survey the most recent Shakespeare pseudo-biographies to find critics citing passages in the plays as evidence of everything from Shakespeare’s true religious affiliation to his feelings about the death of his son. But the anti-Stratfordians, not content to simply psychoanalyze Shakespeare through his writing, build on this assumption by arguing that the humble glover’s son couldn’t possibly have written the plays and poetry attributed to him, because he couldn’t possibly have known about or experienced most of what he wrote. They point to the Stratford Shakespeare’s lack of formal education, his provincial status, and his largely cloistered existence as evidence that he would have been incapable of producing the works attached to his name, with their erudition, worldliness, and intimate knowledge of royal courts.
As Shapiro makes clear, such readings of Shakespeare are all based on a singularly modern (and mistaken) way of interpreting the works, one which assumes that all writing is, on some level, autobiographical. We want to find Shakespeare somewhere, and given the dearth of other information about him, what he wrote down is the best and only country we have to explore. But as Contested Will affirms, the profound humanity of the works can sometimes lead us astray, and when we gaze too long into the seductive mirror of Shakespeare’s worlds, we may sometimes forget that it is our own reflection staring back at us.Buy This Book On Amazon | library |

Einstein and the Quantum: Entanglement and Emergence
With his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein illuminated the grand expanse of the cosmos, but he was also instrumental in developing quantum mechanics for describing the microworld. In Einstein’s day, these advances were considered unrelated but recent insights suggest that they may be secretly connected–significantly advancing our understanding of quantum threads that may stitch the fabric of spacetime. Leonard Susskind, Ana Alonso-Serrano and Mark Van Raamsdonk join Brian Greene to examine this newfound link and explore its implications for uniting the laws of the large and those of the small.

In fact the biochemical soup in which women operate transforms them many times in their lives. How and why and what the consequences are is worth examining.
This is Louann Brizendine's book on the female brain. She is a good writer and although she gives you the science, she also gives you anecdote. So the book is often amusing and sometimes funny. But you really do get to understand the why.
This is Louann Brizendine's companion volume The Male Brain. The male brain exists in a different biochemical soup. There are fewer wholesale changes in the structure of the male brain but there are changes. How and why the male brain changes is also worth examining. Also the difference between boys and girls comes down to the difference in the biochemistry of the male brain. Again the book is skillfully written with the science explained but illustrated with anecdote which is often funny. | library |

- Ferdaus, K.A. Masri* and P.J. Ramadhansyah
ABSTRACT – Polymer modified asphalt (PMA) mixtures are commonly employed in flexible pavement and overlays with large traffic volumes. In contrast, a number of laboratory and field tests have been conducted to evaluate the performance of PMA with that of conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. This paper presents an overview of the various polymers utilised in asphalt mixtures and their effects on the rheological, morphological, physical, and mechanical properties of polymer-modified asphalt binders. According to a review of the relevant literature, a good modifier affects the failure characteristics of the binder, allowing it to withstand greater stresses and strains before failing. In asphalt pavement, adding polymers to asphalt binders to improve their qualities has a long history. Due to polymers’ limited solubility, polymer-modified asphalt binders may have several disadvantages. In addition, a brief description of the general approach to mixing polymers is provided. A summary of the benefits and drawbacks of the most common polymers used to alter asphalt binders Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), Styrene-butadiene–rubber (SBR), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC) etc. are illusrated. The paper continues with a discussion of the lasting effects of PMAs on asphalt pavement. To evaluate the economic and environmental impacts, a life cycle assessment (LCA) is required. | library |

Adam (Arabic: آدم, romanized: ʾĀdam) is believed to have been the first human being on Earth and the first prophet (Arabic: نبي, nabī) of Islam. Adam's role as the father of the human race is looked upon by Muslims with reverence. Muslims also refer to his wife, Hawā (Arabic: حواء, Eve), as the "mother of mankind". Muslims see Adam as the first Muslim, as the Quran states that all the Prophets preached the same faith of Islam (Arabic: إسلام, Submission to God).
An overview of creation
The Quran and Hadith give the same account of the creation of Adam. Synthesizing the Quran with Sunni Hadith can produce the following account. According to the Quran, when God informed the angels that He was going to put a successor on Earth, they questioned whether the human would cause blood shed and damage, but He told them that He knew what they did not. He created Adam from mud or clay and breathed life into him. Hadith add that he was named Adam after the clay he was made out of, or the skin (adim) of the earth.
According to the Quran, God commands the angels to prostrate before Adam wherein all amongst them obeyed except for Iblis, who claimed, "I am better than him. You created me of fire while him you created of mud."
Traditionally, Sunni scholars say that while Adam was sleeping, God took a rib from him and from it He created Eve. However, this is also considered "of the Israelites". While the creation of Adam and Eve is referred to in the Quran, the exact method of creation is not specified. The Quran then says that God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from one tree in the garden, but Satan was able to convince them to taste it. They then began to cover themselves because they now knew that they were naked. For this, God banished Adam and Eve to earth; non-canonical Sunni hadith say that fruits were turned to thorns and pregnancy became dangerous. Non-canonical Sunni hadith also say that Adam and Eve were cast down far apart, so that they had to search for each other and eventually met each other at Mount Arafat.
In Islamic theology, it is not believed that Adam's sin is carried by all of his children. Hadith say that once Adam was on earth, God taught him how to plant seeds and bake bread. This was to become the way of all of Adam's children. Adam proceeded to live for about 1000 years, though this has been a topic of debate.
Islamic scholar Sayyid Mumtaz Ali, while commenting on whether Adam was first or Eve, says that "the fact that Adam was created first is nothing but childish. To begin with, we are tempted to assert that this is so because it was not acceptable to God that a woman is left without a companion for even a second. Therefore, it is for her sake that He created Adam first. But as a matter of fact, the belief that Adam was created first and then came Eve is part of the Christian and Jewish faith. This is not at all part of the Islamic creed. There is no mention in the Quran about who was created first, Adam or Eve."
Significance of Adam
According to disputed hadith, humankind has learned everything from Adam. He was the first to learn to plant, harvest, and bake as well as the first to be told how to repent and how to properly bury someone. It is also said by some scholars that God also revealed the various food restrictions and the alphabet to Adam. He was made the first prophet and it is said that he was taught 21 scrolls and was able to write them himself.
Adam was also created from earth. It is well known that earth produces crops, supports animals, and provides shelter, among many other things. Earth is very important to humankind, so being created from it makes them very distinct. According to some hadith, the various races of people are even due to the different colors of soil used in creating Adam. The soil also contributed to the idea that there are good people and bad people and everything in between in the world. Adam is an important figure in many other religions besides Islam, particularly in the Abrahamic Religions. The story of Adam varies slightly across religions, but manages to maintain a general theme and structure.
The story of angels prostrating before Adam gave rise to various debates about whether humans or angels rank higher. Angels bowing down before Adam is mentioned as evidence for human's superiority over the angels. Others hold that the prostration does not imply such a thing, but was merely a command or test for the angels. A position, especially found among Mu'tazilites and some Asharites, holds that angels are superior due to their lack of urges and desires. Maturidism generally does not think any of these creatures is superior to the other, and that angels' and prophets' obedience derive from their virtues and insights to God's action, but not as their original purity.
In the Quranic version of Adam's fall, Satan tempted them with the promise to become immortal angels. Al-Qushayri comments on 7:20, that Adam desired an angelic state of no passion and avoiding the fate of death.
Descendants of Adam
Though it is up for debate, it has been said that Eve went through 120 pregnancies with Adam and each of these consisted of a set of twins: a boy and a girl. In some other traditions, their first child was a girl, born alone, called ʿAnāq. According to several sources, God took all of Adam's progeny from his back while they were still in heaven. He asked each of them "am I not your lord?" as read in verse 7:172 and they all replied yes. For this reason, it is believed that all humans are born with an innate knowledge of God. The most famous of Adam's children are Cain and Abel. Both the brothers were asked to offer up individual sacrifices to God. God accepted Abel's sacrifice because of Abel's righteousness and Cain, out of jealousy, threw a rock at Abel, leading to the first murder in human history: the murder of Abel by Cain. As Adam grieved his son, he would preach to his other children about God and faith in Him. When Adam's death grew near, he appointed his son Seth as his successor.
Adam in the Quran
The story of Adam and creation is pieced throughout the Quran. There are references in chapters: 2, 4, 5, 20, 21, 38 and others. In the Quran narrative, God created humankind out of clay (Q3:59), shaped it to a form and then commanded the angels to bow (submit) to Adam. Iblis refused out of pride (Q15:26-32) and was banished from Jannah (Paradise).
According to the Quran, God had already decided before the creation of Adam that mankind (Adam and his progeny) would be placed on earth. Islam does not ascribe mankind's life on earth as a punishment, rather as part of God's plan.
"'Verily, I am going to place mankind generations after generations on earth.' They (the angels) said: 'Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we (the angels) glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You?' God said: 'I know that which you do not know.'"
God then teaches Adam the names of all things and assembles the angels in front of Adam so as to show them that there is more to Adam than they know, particularly the high intellectual capacity of Adam:
"And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful." They said: "Glory to Thee (said the angels), of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom." He said: "O Adam! Tell them their names." When he had told them, God said (to the angels): "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"
God commands the angels to bow down to Adam. All obey, except for Iblis, who feels that he being made from fire, should not be bowing to Adam who was made from earth. His disobedience of God's command followed by his pride caused him to fall out of God's favor:
"And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam" and they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: He was of those who reject faith (those who are disobedient)." (2:34)
God later places Adam and Eve in the garden and tells them that they are free to enjoy of its fruits except not to come near a certain tree: (2:35)
"We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression."
Satan then deceives Adam and Eve into eating of the fruits of the tree: (2:36)
"Then did Satan make them slip from the (garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), with some of you having enmity towards others. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood - for a time."
Adam and Eve feel a lot of remorse for their actions, but God turns to Adam in mercy and consoles him: (2:37)
"Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration, and his Lord Turned towards him; for He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful."
God then informs Adam that God will send his guidance to Adam and his progeny: (2:38)
"We said: "Get down all of you from this place (the garden), then whenever there comes to you Guidance from Me, and whoever follows My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them, nor shall they grieve."
In the Garden of Eden, Satan (often identified as Iblis) lures Adam and Eve into disobeying God by tasting the fruit from the forbidden tree. God, sends Adam and Eve out into the rest of the earth.
Adam in Hadith
A Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari narrated by Abu Hurairah states that Adam was created 60 cubits tall (about 30 meters), and that people in Paradise will look like Adam. The height of humans has since decreased.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah created Adam , sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height. When He created him, He said (to him), "Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring." Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salamu alaikum (Peace be upon you).' They replied, 'AsSalamu-'Alaika wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you) So they increased 'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet (ﷺ) added 'So whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and picture of Adam Since then the creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is being diminished continuously) to the present time."

April 4 marks the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, murdered in 1968 while fighting for the rights of striking Memphis sanitation workers. This event is brilliantly chronicled in this acclaimed documentary.
At The River I Stand brings into sharp relief issues that have only become more urgent in the intervening years: the connection between economic and civil rights, debates over strategies for change, the demand for full inclusion of African Americans in American life and the fight for dignity for public employees and all working people.
This event is presented by Widener University's Department of Sociology and the African and African-American Studies program. | library |

This is a very partial list, as I love many more books than I’ve listed here, but these are the ones I think of first and would take with me to a desert island.
Some are chosen because of the writing; some for the reliability and usefulness of the recipes; some for the romance of time and/or place; some for beautiful illustrations and/or photography; some for all of these.
I have always wanted to gather in one place my favourites from culinary literature. That is part of what this blog is about: pulling together treasures to share, both with those who recognise them and may find pleasure in that recognition, and with those who may discover them for the first time.
I hope you will enjoy these and introduce some of your own best friends.
Madeleine Kamman (see also “Slumped dumplings, and other lessons from the kitchen”, and “Madeleine Kamman’s profiteroles pontresina”)
The Making of a Cook (1971) was my first, and remains my favourite, cook’s bible for intelligent explanations on the science of cooking, and the basics you need to refer to again and again, such as the internal temperatures for cooking meat, as well as some of the best recipes in French cooking I know. I adore Madeleine Kamman’s utter dedication to excellence as a teacher as well as a cook. She provides original research and empirically tested foundation recipes: not a repeat of superficial received wisdom, but a challenge to them, an interrogation of them, a breaking-down of all the steps, so you can be absolutely confident when you rely on Madeleine Kamman’s guidelines to get, for example, pork that is safely cooked but not overcooked to meet some archaic food safety standard.
She will tell you, for another example, the basic proportions and techniques to use for any kind of bavarois you wish to make, or soufflé, or ice cream, so that equipped with those formulae and the reasons for them, you can create whatever you dream of and greet many cooking situations with confidence. Her recipes are firmly rooted in the French tradition, but translated for American cooks (she lived in Boston where she ran a restaurant and taught) and the ingredients available to them. They are such evocative recipes, redolent of place, of realness, of honest food home-made from scratch by women who were still expected to produce the family’s meals everyday. Madeleine Kamman was a feminist writing at a time when sexual politics were in foment, when being in the kitchen became a symbol of oppression. She reclaimed it for women who wanted to be feminists and to cook, and to do so professionally as well as at home. While some of the commentary may be a little outdated, her recipes and techniques are so classically useful and clearly explained that they hold up to time in all the ways one could wish, and equip one to innovate to one’s heart’s content. Her chicken bonne maman is what I want for my last meal — it sums up all of life’s generosity in a simple dish of garlic, potato, onion, excellent stock and an honest bird.
Madeleine Kamman’s When French Women Cook (1976) is a masterpiece of another kind, as beautiful in its prose as in the recipes, which are based around eight women, all superb cooks, who were formative in Kamman’s life: all from different regions of France, all bringing their regional recipes and ingredients into her life along with wisdom and affection. Kamman is a scholar (she studied languages at the Sorbonne) and she has captured in these poignant pages the tastes and stories of places and times past, written down for the first time from her memories of being at the elbow of her Aunt Claire Robert, or Grandmother Eugénie. The recipes will produce tastes you may never have experienced: pigeon with prune farze, for example, a kind of Yorkshire pudding; and they also give the gift of discovering how to recreate traditional tastes encountered on travels throughout France. I use her recipe for Flammkuche, or Tarte Flambé, a kind of onion and bacon pizza, which we first encountered in Alsace. Hers, made with freshly harvested onions in early autumn, is so, so much better even than the good ones we had on holiday, at the source.
In the classical mode you can’t do better for step-by-step visual instructions than those to be found in his two major tomes, La Technique (1976), and La Méthode (1979). They provide photographic illustrations for every basic foundation skill a serious chef or home cook needs, starting with how to hold a knife, or tie a roast. I use him for this technical purpose more than the actual recipes, because the operating philosophy for Pépin, as for Madeleine Kamman, is to learn techniques and methods, not recipes, because then you can apply your skills and knowledge to everything you cook. His recipe for pastry cream, cream puffs, and all its pâte au choux variants, are foolproof. My husband David has followed Pepin’s instructions at Christmas for the most magnificent Paris Brest — an extravaganza of praline crème pâtissière and crème chantilly in an almond-sprinkled pâte au choux ring, to symbolise the famous bicycle race from Paris to the city of Brest. David had never even made cream puffs before, but following the well-illustrated and clear instructions, broken down one by one into manageable stages, he produced a masterpiece first time. David’s Paris Brest always receives rapturous reviews from all assembled whenever he manages to find the full day required to make it, and it is what I look forward to most of all the baked treats of the season. Our nephew James, when he was about 14, claimed he could “eat it forever”. I echo the sentiment.
I love Jane Grigson for bringing the bounty of the English countryside to the table, and her philosophy of putting beautiful ingredients at the centre of ones cooking. In her wonderful Fruit Book (1982), Vegetable Book (1978), and Good Things (1971), you start with your quinces, salsify, lemons, partridges, whatever you have, and she will tell you what to do with them. Her word is reliability and romance both. You know she has done the work for you of considering multiple approaches to an ingredient, and what she has selected to share is going to be both imaginative and simply good. Her collections, if not comprehensive, give you all you need: her suggestions are selective, chosen for quality. Some of the hardest-to-find things can be found in her pages. I went to Grigson for help with medlars when we moved into our home to find it had a mature tree — and I have been following her instructions for jelly ever since, and taking pleasure in her erudite and humorous descriptions of that historical fruit. Her rabbit with calvados, chives and cream, is the best way with rabbit I know. She is not exclusively English, but if I am thinking “English”, I turn to her before anyone else.
Ah, The Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook... This is where my heart meets my past. I have cooked with furious passion nearly everything in this inspiring treatise on how to eat since it was first published in 1982, the year I lived in Berkeley and rented a house from Paul Bertolli, the Chez Panisse chef, during his sabbatical in Italy. Two years later I cooked at Chez Panisse myself, first as a commis in the downstairs kitchen, prepping squid, sweetbreads, and garlic for the celebrated dining room; then moving upstairs to the café. My copy of the book is the most treasured in my collection, and the most spattered, worn and faded. As a pristine first edition it would be worth a small fortune now. As the messily annotated copy it is, it is worth far more to me. The garlic soufflé, almond tart, olive oil and sauternes cake, and leek and goat’s cheese tart, are amongst my most treasured recipes, and the dishes most remembered by friends and family for whom I’ve cooked. Alice Waters’s philosophy speaks to me everyday, as I learned it from these pages and in her kitchen.
Lindsey Remolif Shere’s Chez Panisse Desserts is also a well-thumbed essential in my collection. It’s one of the best dessert collections I know, particularly for sophisticated desserts that rely bringing out the best in excellent produce, and combining uncommon flavours in a way that works.
Sarah Raven has a refreshingly uncheffy approach to growing and cooking food, and I love her intelligent, colourful, flavourful recipes and insights. She was an MD and takes a rigorous, evidence-based approach to the claims she makes for healthy eating. She is one of the most generous experts out there in sharing her intellectual property, and really wants us all to eat better, and more healthfully, more sustainably, with less nonsense attached, and with more flavour. I have a lot of respect for her as a gardener, cook, and teacher. Her style is also brilliantly colourful, pretty, natural and nonfussy. I have all her cookbooks, and dip into Good Good Food more than I do most on my shelves. It’s very good at providing succinct summaries of nutritional information and every dish I’ve tried is delicious. Her raw kale salad with tahini dressing is a firm favourite in our house.
Ruth Reichl’s food memoirs are funny, wise and full of insight into the world of food, from the personal to the public and political. Tender at the Bone, and Comfort Me with Apples, are two of my favourite food-related reads.
Nigel Slater’s cookbooks and columns are always brilliant. I love his writing, and the respect he brings to ingredients and their connection to the seasons. He’s a cook who, like Jane Grigson, has a natural reverence for good food and knows how to get the best out of a butternut squash, say, or a cauliflower, or whatever. He doesn’t go for over-the-top show-offy food, and always encourages me to slow down, think, use every scrap and avoid any waste — not by preaching, but through his respectful, mindful approach. His recipes are reliable and exciting, and he often provides interesting background to enrich his recipes. I also love his memoir, Toast.
Bee Wilson’s First Bite is an important and compelling eye opener about how we acquire our food tastes, and what we can do to change them. Everything she writes is worthwhile. She’s a food scholar and a thinker whose clear analyses and pursuit of evidence can help us navigate the confusion around food we all face in daily life.
Other favourite cookbook authors notable for their excellent teaching as well as recipes
Maida Heatter is the ultimate chocolate cook. Her Great Chocolate Desserts (1980) is, well, great, and has the distinction in my bookshelves of having the second-most spattered pages, after The Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook. My all-time favourite chocolate recipes are contained within these pages. Her New Orleans Chocolate Layer cake has a chocolate pudding layer that a few of my friends claim they would die for, and the Dobosh Torte, Chocolate Pots de Cremes, and Flourless Chocolate Rum Cake (more like a soufflé) are exceptional in their class. What is also truly classy about Maida Heatter is the care she takes to tell you, in a likeable, genuine, conversational voice, exactly what to expect; e.g., “This cake sinks in the middle, but don’t worry! It is covered by cream….” She includes difficult challenges and easy recipes. She also offers very useful tips on what and how to freeze, what you can do ahead, and other information I wish more recipe writers would think to include. She is thoughtful as well as brilliant with chocolate. The latest innovations won’t necessarily be found in her pages (which has no photos, only drawings); but if you want a book where chocolate recipes are reliable and good, then look no further.
Madhur Jaffrey is justly celebrated for her brilliant instructions and perfect spicing for recipes achievable with some effort at home. I love her. I trust her. I admire her hugely for recording with such clarity and accessibility for home cooks one of the richest and most complex cuisines in the world. Her sweet and sour aubergine, lamb on the bone with mint, and mushroom pilaf, are family favourites, along with all the classics, including Rogan Josh, Chicken Madras, pooris, and fresh coriander chutney. Her voice is friendly and intelligent and encouraging. Her stories add to the experience. She takes such care to test and explain, that even the most unfamiliar recipes or ingredients are inviting. As teachers go, she is among the very best, and her recipes are invariably perfectly spiced, soul-satisfying and memorable. I have concluded that these two qualities must go together: those who make the best teachers seem to me also to have the best recipes.
Dan Lepard is a hero in our house for teaching me, and my other half, David, the best things we know about bread-baking. David baked his way through almost every recipe in Lepard’s superb The Handmade Loaf in a year, and almost without exception they were recipes we loved and wanted to make again (and many we have made again and again). Lepard’s concepts are original and accessible; and the recipes are imaginative, tempting, and so completely reliable and clearly written that one can set off into new territory with the confidence to succeed. Dan Lepard revolution the way I bake bread, through his no-knead method and guidance on homemade starters, and he turned my partner in life into an accomplished baker from the first steps to real mastery.
Whimsical and off-beat books on food
I wish I’d written a book on food in children’s literature before Jane Brocket got to it. Her Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer is a generous collection of some classic scenes, such as Lucy’s tea with Mr Tumnus in C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (see also my story, Afternoon Tea of a faun), along with her interpretation of some recipes for recreating those meals and treats. She includes many works of children’s literature not familiar to me (and leaves out some of my favourites, so maybe there’s a book left for me after all).
My father was a devotee of Euell Gibbon’s treatise on foraging from nature, and with the guidance of the 1960’s classic, Stalking the Wild Asparagus, we tried fiddlehead ferns, elderberries, bird cherries and even acorns, but wild asparagus was a true delicacy that we looked forward to every spring almost as much as our Easter baskets. My father’s satisfaction in the results was part of the pleasure for us. (See my story here, with a simple recipe.) We loved to see him rejoice in “eating like a king for the price of a pat of butter.”
Again, I’m selecting just a few of many blogs I like and read. The first I fell in love with is Emma Gardner’s lovely Poires au Chocolat, now a useful and inspiring baking archive, full of charm.
Ed Smith’s Rocket and Squash was the second blog I fell for, and he continues to do a wonderful service by summarising the food pages in all the major weekly papers, as well as offering his own original recipes and recommendations in a likeable voice.
I also love the photography on Erin Scott’s Yummy Supper.

I was expecting a larger tome, but I was pleasantly surprised upon cracking the cover. Ms. Elliott has compiled a plethora of information for the 21st century vegan girl which is clear, concise, aesthetically appealing and entertaining.
The Vegan Girl’s Guide to Life covers everything from the basic to the complex. The book is broken down into 7 chapters: Understanding What Vegan Is (And Isn’t), Nutrition, Vegan Living, Shopping Like a Vegan When You’re Not Buying Food, Vegan Food, Get Started in the Kitchen: Recipes and Do It Yourself! Short profiles of ordinary vegans and not so ordinary vegans are sprinkled throughout the book. Among the not so ordinary are Chicago’s very own, Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart of Vaute Couture, and Laviyah of Ste Martaen, as well as several other prominent vegan business women.
Elliott begins the book by describing how she became a vegan, before she goes into veganism basics. Unless you’re new to veganism you can probably skip the first chapter which is filled with facts and myth debunking. If you’re a seasoned vegan you can probably also skip the second chapter, which covers nutrition, however, if you’re newer to veganism, like myself, you’ll find it’s a nice refresher (I find having occasional reminders about nutrition helps me stay on the right track, kind of like going to the dentist twice a year reminds me why I have to floss – even if it is kind of a pain). The third chapter covers everything from fielding questions about your choices to eating out/traveling to getting a 100% vegan tattoo (I knew most inks weren’t vegan, which is why I haven’t been inked yet, but now I’ll be ready if/when I decide to go for it)! “Shopping Like a Vegan When You’re Not Buying Food” (Ch. 4) was by far my favorite chapter. I learned about so many companies that offer vegan products without having to search/sift through the internet for hours. The chapter covers clothing, beauty products (Top 10 Lists by both Elliott and Sunny Subramanian, editor of Vegan Beauty Review), feminine products, cleaning products, and condoms/birth control (however, the book is short, so don’t expect to find info on everything, though it comes close!). Chapters 5 & 6 cover food, the former offers tips on stocking your kitchen & pantry, non-vegan ingredients to watch out for, vegan substitutes and cooking tips, while the latter offers a wide variety of recipes, including contributions from authors, Kelly Peloza (The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur) and Terry Hope Romero (Viva Vegan!, Veganomicon, etc.). Ms. Elliott closes the book with a chapter called, “Do It Yourself!”, I felt some of the information was a bit superfluous (but fun), like the crafts she includes. However, some of the sections within the final chapter were very informative, like the gardening section and the knitting/crochet section (knitting warm vegan items is possible despite what wool purists might tell you).
My only complaints about The Vegan Girl’s Guide to Life are the book’s lack of an index and the ordinary vegan girls’ profiles. Almost everyone profiled has a blog or website listed, unfortunately, some of these links are no longer active. Also, though it was cool to see the similarities and differences between vegans, the profiles would’ve been more relevant to would-be-vegans & current vegans if they contained recommendations or tips, as opposed to the “Funniest Vegan Moment” sections, as many of these weren’t funny. That being said, I found many of the noteworthy vegan girl’s profiles to be very inspiring.
So whether you’re a seasoned vegan, an aspiring vegan or simply curious about the vegan lifestyle, you should check out The Vegan Girl’s Guide to Life.

The conference provided a forum for discussing topics related to wind energy and wind engineering, from wind characteristics and wind loading to full-scale measurement and modeling of buildings and other structures. Comprised of 36 chapters, this volume begins with an assessment of the wider application of reliability principles in the treatment of wind loading, paying particular attention to the influence of wind direction and the role of full-scale testing in reducing uncertainty. The reader is then introduced to wind characteristics, with emphasis on strong winds and tropical cyclones; wind loading of tall buildings and low-rise structures; and instrumentation and experimental techniques for wind loading. The base balance technique for the determination of dynamic wind loads is described, along with a detailed design method for pneumatic tubing systems and a digital system for the measurement of wind effects on large structures. The final two chapters deal with active modeling of large-scale turbulence and selection of local peak pressure coefficients for wind tunnel studies of buildings. This monograph will be of interest to students, practitioners, and researchers concerned with wind energy and wind engineering. | library |

A research paper is similar to a documentary or a essay in which the author provides a detailed explanation and substantiation of the subject he’s writing about. Typically, a research paper is required before a person may gain admittance to any graduate faculty of his/her option. It is also demanded by some universities and some colleges for clearing a particular course. But not everyone has the opportunity to compose a research paper and so pupils who wish to make a diploma must rely on several different resources on the Internet.
When a student finds an essay question or topic that interests him, he can search for the Internet so as to find advice on the subject and proceed in composing his research paper. The first step that is taken from the procedure is looking on the subject of interest. Then comes the compilation of the information gathered from different sources. Next comes the test of the data. Lastly, the conclusion and recommendations have been evolution writers reviews added to the study paper.
Before writing a research papers, there are certain guidelines that have to be followed. First and foremost, the student needs to have a clear idea about what research is all about. This means that he/she ought to have a very clear idea about exactly what research is all about. Then the student should study on the Internet for any reference material that will be necessary in writing the research paper. If the pupil has an older version of this class textbook, then the writer’s resource box may be useful to him. He might take advantage of the box to source out extra info.
The Internet also provides many forums, blogs, and discussion boards which would be of great assistance in gaining research details. The forums and blogs offer thoughts and ideas that assist with researching topics. The discussion boards provide a venue for interaction among the researchers. It’s a good source of information if the pupil can post his/her question or feedback on the topic.
The Internet is also beneficial in finding out review sites that provide advice on both the research papers and dissertations. A student may also go through university brochures to gather basic information on research documents. The library is an additional useful location where one could find information on research papers. One may get access to research manuals and reference books.
Last, the social websites would be a very valuable tool in getting research documents. Most colleges and universities have websites that provide advice on research papers. This assists in deriving the needed information. Thus, it’s advised that a student should be very much involved with the research oriented learning that goes with research papers. | library |

- the Cryptographic Message Syntax (RFC5652)[https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5652] for interpreting non-constrained (RFC8366)[https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8366] vouchers.
- HTTPS/TLS for communications security with RFC8995
- CoAPS/DTLS for communications security for (Contrained-BRSKI)[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher/]
The CMS patches are almost entirely in the ruby-openssl level, creating new interfaces. See, https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/236 which languishes because of undiagnosed memory leaks in parts of the system that was never changed.
The OpenSSL DTLS API is inadequate for use by the Fountain JRC. It is interfaced through the ruby-openssl wrapper, plus the coap, david and celluloid-io ruby modules, all of which had to have changes to accomodate DTLS.
A significant problem with patching the OpenSSL libraries is that they are also included in most systems. Updating the system to new versions (putting 1.1.1 on a system that has 1.1.0) is often okay but replacing the 1.1.1 code with newer code is often a disaster. With shared library installation, one can install multiple shared libraries in multiple places, but the challenge is making sure that the right libraries get loaded. Since the ruby interpreter comes with a ruby-openssl gem, and it has been compiled against the system libraries, it is trivially to accidentally get two copies of openssl loaded.
In addition, openssl 3.x has been released, but the work on updating ruby-openssl to work with 3.x is not yet complete. See: https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/399.
For this reason the simplest way to do this work is to compile ruby-openssl against a statically linked openssl. It is a bit bigger, since it does not share, but since the code would get loaded only once anyway on a system there isn’t really a big deal.
Unfortunately, the extconf.rb mechanism has no clear way to force linking against .a files except by listing them explicitely by path, so there are some paths hard coded into that file, which is really annoying.
The path selected is “/sandel/3rd/openssl-dtls-api”, which hopefully does not conflict with any other aspect of your system. This path is only needed on the system(s) on which ruby-openssl is compiled.
In the Gemfile for highway, fountain and reach, the relative path “../minerva/ruby-openssl” is used.
Note that the code has been patched up to openssl-1.1.1o, which is the latest as of June 2022.
This has been tested on a bare (Linode) Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) [which uses ruby 3.x], a (Linode) Debian-11 [which uses ruby 2.7], and also an Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS). It also works on devuan.org beowulf, which is my preferred desktop environment.
So, use the following method to install the needed code bases:
# useradd -m -G sudo minerva
Login as the minerva user:
% sudo mkdir /someplace
% sudo chown $USER /someplace
% cd /someplace
% sudo apt-get update -y
% sudo apt-get install libssl-dev ruby ruby-dev git build-essential postgresql-all libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev curl
% sudo systemctl disable postgresql
% sudo gem install rake-compiler bundler
% sudo mkdir -p /sandel/3rd/openssl-dtls-api
% sudo chown $USER /sandel/3rd/openssl-dtls-api

% (cd ruby-openssl && rake install_dependencies )
% (cd ruby-openssl && rake compile -- --with-openssl-dir=/sandel/3rd/openssl-dtls-api )
% ln -s ruby-openssl ruby-openssl-upstreamed
% cd ../fountain && bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle' && bundle install && bundle exec rake -T
% cd ../highway && bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle' && bundle install && bundle exec rake -T
Some minor bits of explanation.
The rails apps are configured to be able to use sqlite3 or postgresql, so both development libraries are installed.
For development a postgresql cluster is created in the local directory, so the system postgresql is not necessary to run.
For reasons unexplained, if one does “rake install_dependancies”, then gem tries to load dependancies via https, then discovers that it mysteriously does not have a HTTPS mechanism and gives up. Installing “rake-compiler” as root first, seems to solve this.
The Gemfile references “ruby-openssl-upstreamed” for hysterical raisons, thus the symlink.
This uses the system supplied ruby executable, rather than an RVM one which was previously the best way. The use of vendor/bundle does mean that duplicate gems may be installed, but on an R&D machine, this is hardly a concern.
libssl-dev is required, or eventmachine won’t get built with HTTPS support.

The Vedas, meaning “knowledge,” document the insight of the ancient ṛṣis, those who could directly see reality for what it is. The Vedic corpus has long been venerated for the probing vision of these ancient seers, and yet the exposition of Indian wisdom has evolved over time in response to changing historical and cultural conditions as well as human receptivity. As a result, Indian classical texts present a rich compendium of approaches to the age-old questions of what it means to be human and to live a fulfilled life in society.
In India, philosophy is called darśana [seeing] because it is the distinct product of the seeing or understanding of the ancient sages who dedicated their lives to observing the world and how their minds formed an understanding of it. Classical Indian thinkers expounded elaborate theories of an unconscious, causal basis of the mind, a cyclical process of time and history, as well as a unitary, limitless source for all life. The diverse schools of thought—from the Upaniṣads and Sāṃkhya to the contemporary social philosophy of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi—offer students compelling descriptions of the human condition, not to mention vestiges of the stirring debates that ensued between philosophical schools. Learning Indian classics will contextualize Indian Buddhist thought and the classic literature comprising religiously varying themes.
Through close reading of primary texts, students will consider issues fundamental to Indian systems of thought. For example, what is the influence of past karmic tendencies [saṃskāras] on the experience of the present moment? What is the relationship between language and reality? What kind of behavior is socially responsible? Students will read Indian insights into causation, human nature, and the goals of human life [puruṣārtha]. They will explore South Asian perspectives on religious thought and practice, the structure of the human mind and perception, paths to liberation, and limitations to infinite freedom. Through their engagement with the texts, students will grapple with the perennial riddles of existence and human potential.
The Indian Classics strand enables students to develop a sincere appreciation for texts while at the same time encouraging them to critically evaluate the ideas presented. Following Indian tradition, no views are to be accepted unless the students’ direct experience corroborates what they read. By understanding the texts in the spirit of transformation intended by their authors, students will develop the capacity to see the world through a traditional Indian perspective.
In the course of a year, the Indian Classics strand aims to lead students not only in discovering the content of particular knowledges spanning the history of Indian literature, but also in generating the confidence to apply their skills to contemporary discourses. Through their encounter with Indian philosophical systems, students will explore the concept of self, the process of knowing and experiencing the world, and the nature and function of knowledge. Reading classical Indian literature will contribute to the students’ ability to live responsibly, think critically, value diverse perspectives, and troubleshoot from multiple vantage points.
In the first semester, sophomores will read selections from Vedic literature, including the Vedas, Brāhmaṇas, and Upaniṣads, focusing on creation myths, unity and multiplicity, religious practice, self-realization, and concepts of the absolute, death, and desire. Students will then read from different schools of Vedic exegesis, including Mīmāṃsā and Vedānta. Here students will encounter the diversity of traditional interpretations. Students will then read Jaina, Sāṃkhya, and Yoga philosophies, and the epic Mahābhārata and its Bhagavad Gītā, taking up questions of the goals of human life, nonviolence, social duty, devotion, concentration, and nonattachment.
In the second semester, students will read classical Indian poetry, drama, and prose literature, which build on the philosophies studied in the previous semester. In addition to reading Vālmīki’s epic Rāmāyaṇa and the Purāṇas, students will read other Hindu and Buddhist literary works that investigate the psychological influences of past karmic impressions, enslavement to desire, human relationships, and the social conduct of an exemplary human. Students will read such masterpieces as Aśvagoṣa’s Handsome Nanda, Kālidāsa’s Kumārasambhava, Harṣa’s How the Nāgas Were Pleased, and Bhavabhūti’s Rāma’s Last Act.
Students will read the texts in this strand in thematic groups. Beginning with selections of Vedic literature, students will proceed to read a sampling of philosophical schools that interpret theVedas. Vedic literature was composed during the last few millennia b.c.e., whereas the Mīmāṃsā and Vedānta schools developed later as exegetical responses. Students will read the texts in this order because the later texts assume prior familiarity with earlier ones.
The second grouping of texts concerns the epic Mahābhārata, of which the Bhagavad Gītā forms a part, and its philosophical underpinnings, including Sāṃkhya and Yoga. The first two groupings will conclude with modern Indian texts by Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi in order to show that the classical texts, adapted for modern times, are still living traditions in Indian society.
The final grouping of literary texts will be taken up in the second semester, since this set builds on the cultural understanding of previous texts. Classical poetry, prose, and drama will be read to survey the development of ideas over time for the sake of the transformation of the student. This approach effectively conveys the traditional knowledge of South Asia and orients students to learn through sincere inquiry and self-reflection.

This is the second edition reflecting valuable reader contributions. By the way, if you bought the first edition you can go to your Kindle library and download the revised copy.
This is a quick read and will be helpful if you’re type 2 diabetic or pre-diabetic. Some reviewers wrote…
“This is a straightforward account of how the author responded to being diagnosed with T2 Diabetes. The book is a quick read and gives us an overview of how weight loss, diet and exercise can regulate T2 without the use of drugs. His experiences are insightful and motivational.”
“I was exposed to agent Orange on numerous occasions during my 21 months in Vietnam back in the 1960s, as were many men. Now we are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It is shock but the best thing you can do is educate yourself, get to know as much as you can, through reading books such as this. Know your enemy, learn to fight back through exercise and diet (10,000 step exercise program etc), this does not have to be a death sentence. This book is a great tool and can change your life.”
“The author explains his condition, the dedicated mindset it took to control it, and the hope his experience offers. And he does it in a personal and interesting way. Type 2 diabetics will find it worth their while.”
“This book was easy to read & very helpful with lots of information & slot of reference material given to help live healthier.”

A string filter consists of a stack of string manipulators. When applied to an input string, the string filter causes each manipulator to be applied to the string resulting from applying the previous manipulator. Thus, you may chain an arbitrary amount of manipulators to achieve a desired result.
A string filter expression consists of one or more string manipulators, chained by a '|' (OR) sign, for example:
uppercase|rpad(' ', 30)
In this case, an input string would first be converted to upper case, then padded to the right using ' ' as a padding character.
Arguments of string manipulators should be enclosed in quotes, however, that is not necessary if the argument is a (positive) number or an identifier.
See Ionflux::Tools::StringManipulator for a list of available string manipulators.

we setup our Raspberry Pi, installed Mono, and ran our first C# program.
In part two, we will connect a Relay to the Pi and turn it on/off using .NET. Listed below are what you will need to complete part two, in addition to the hardware/software you used in part one.
- PiSharp Raspberry Pi GPIO Library for .NET
First, we will make sure the Pi is turned off and the power cord is disconnected. You can shut down the Pi by running the command below.
sudo shutdown now
Wait for the green LED of the Pi to stop blinking (the red LED will stay on) and then unplug the power.
We are now ready to connect jumper wires to the Raspberry Pi. Identify the GPIO pins we will use for this experiment, locate the 5V pin, the ground (you can select any ground pin, I am using the one closest to the 5V pin), and pin 23 (I am using pin 23 for signal, you are free to select another pin).
Connect the jumper wires to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins as shown on the image below. Don’t worry about the color of the wires.
Go ahead and connect the jumper wires from the Raspberry Pi to the breadboard. The 5V wire will go to the red row (+), the ground wire will go to blue row (-), and the pin 23 wire can go to any row except the red or the blue rows. I am using row f.
Get the Relay and identify the pins.
Connect another 3 jumper wires to the Relay.
Connect the Relay jumper wires to the breadboard. The wire from the ground pin will go to the (-) pin of the Relay, the wire from the 5V pin will go to the (+) pin of the Relay, and the wire from pin 23 will go to the Signal pin of the Relay.
You will now download Pi#, PiSharp is a Raspberry Pi GPIO Library for .NET, download it from here
After you download Pi# unzip it, open the Visual Studio solution located in the src folder, and build the solution. After build succeeds right click on the PiSharp.LibGpio project, open Folder in File Explorer. Browse to the bin/Debug folder, locate the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll file, and copy it. You will add this .dll to your project.
Start new instance of Visual Studio and create new Console project. I am naming my project GaragePi.NET.
Create new folder, name it PiSharpRef, and paste the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll you copied from the PiSharp solution.
Right click on References and add the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll file. Be sure to use the file located in the PiSharpRef folder.
Add the below using statements to the Program class.
Add the below code to the main method and build the project.
The first line will set the pin 23 to Output. Inside the while loop, we will set pin 23 to high (on) wait for 2 seconds, set pin 23 to low (off), and wait another two seconds. This will be repeated until we exit the program.
We will now go to the Pi and test our experiment. Connect the power cord to the Pi and wait for the Pi to start. After the Pi is up and running, start PuTTY and login to your Pi.
Start WinSCP and login to the Pi. From your local machine locate the debug folder of the GaragePi.NET project and drag it to the pi folder of the Raspberry Pi.
Go back to the Pi and run the GaragePi.NET.exe program.
sudo mono Debug/GaragePi.NET.exe
The Relay will now make clicking sound and the red LED will turn on/off. Congratulations, you can now turn appliances on/off using Raspberry Pi and your .NET skills.
To quit the program press Ctrl + C.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Why do we feel such emotion when we enter a church, a temple, a mosque, or a synagogue? In these timeless spaces, which our ancestors have bequeathed to us, there is a beauty and mystery, which transport us. Sacred monuments have a complex and coded architecture, which combines science and alchemy, the magical and the profane. But for those who know how to read them, these structures of wood, stone and glass tell the great narrative of human belief. Each of these very different edifices represents the pinnacle of what mankind has created on Earth. By revealing the secret history of the world’s most remarkable religious constructions, this ambitious series in 4K also tells the history of humankind, of our faith, and our genius as builders.
The immense white stupas of Erdene Zuu Monastery seem a natural feature of the Mongolian Steppes, close to Karakorum, Genghis Khan’s legendary capital of his Mongol Empire. They are the silent witnesses of the story of caravan traders along the Silk Road, fringing the greatest and most sacred Buddhist monastery in the country. Partially destroyed and abandoned during the Communist occupation, the remaining temples, a celebration of the architecture of Sino- Tibetan Central Asian architecture, have nonetheless managed to withstand the assault of History and once again sound with the chants of monks who have given it new life. | library |

After getting a proposal, including a project timeline and budget projections, approved, I created a walking tour of the hamlet of Rush, N.Y., a small town about 30 minutes south of Rochester. Once considered an independent farming frontier, it is now a bedroom community. Ideally this project would exist as it's own mobile application, but due to time constraints I used the responsive design website framework of Atavist to simulate an application experience. For the project I digitized and edited historical images in the Rush Town Historian's Office collection. I captured all present day visuals used in the project. I also wrote the body text and edited photo captions with the assistance of Rush Town Historian Susan Mee. | library |

The Battle for the Books: Inside Google’s Gambit to Create the World’s Biggest Library details the development of the ambitious and contentious Google Books project. Written by Jeff John Roberts, one of GigaOM’s top media and legal reporters, The Battle for the Books is the first effort to chronicle Sergey Brin and Larry Page’s Google Books project, an ambitious plan to scan the world’s entire stock of books in five years. Roberts tracks the birth of the project as well as the ensuing legal and academic battles that eventually led to the project’s demise.
Roberts has been following the Google Books saga for more than three years. The narrative he weaves throughout The Battle for the Books combines his background as an intellectual property and media lawyer with his experience as a reporter and storyteller. It’s a compelling account told through the eyes of the people involved, and it contains exclusive accounts from dozens of figures in the tech, academic, and legal sectors, including:
- Terry Winograd, Stanford professor emeritus and Larry Page’s graduate advisor
- Robert Darnton, the director of the Harvard Library, who led an intellectual crusade against the project and exposed a rift between some librarians and Google
- Robert Miller, the director of Books at the Internet Archive, which launched a book-scanning project of its own and joined a growing number of onetime Google allies in a legal and public relations campaign against the company

Learn how you can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to move a document from a SharePoint document library on one SharePoint site to a specific SharePoint document libary on a Records Center site in SharePoint 2013.
Once you have set up a Records Center in SharePoint 2013, you may want to automate the process of moving documents to the SharePoint Records Center. For this, you can make use of a SharePoint workflow.
The Send Document to Repository workflow action in SharePoint Designer 2013 allows you to specify a SharePoint Records Center to which a file must be copied, moved, or moved and leave a link.
Note that you do not have to configure a Send To connection in SharePoint Central Administration as in Manually move a document to a Records Center in SharePoint 2013 for this solution to work. The only requirement is that you must use the correct URL for the destination router (so one that has the extension /_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx) when you are setting up the workflow action.
Before you begin, ensure that you:
- Have gone through the steps to create a Records Center site in SharePoint 2013.
- Have created a content type for sending documents to the SharePoint Records Center.
Create a SharePoint workflow to move a document to a Records Center
- In SharePoint Designer 2013, create a new list workflow that runs on the SharePoint document library that contains the documents you want to move to the SharePoint Records Center. Ensure that you select SharePoint 2010 Workflow as the Platform Type.
- Add a Send Document to Repository action to the workflow, and configure it to say:
Submit File using Move to http://win-a5pj1269tfk/dmw/recordscen... with Some explanation (Output to Variable: submit file result)
where you must use the String Builder dialog box to set this destination router in the workflow action to be equal to the full URL of the officialfile.asmx web service for the SharePoint Records Center, for example:
Or if you have stored the URL in a workflow variable/parameter or in a field in a list or library, you could also perform a lookup to find that value and use it in the workflow action.
- Publish the workflow to SharePoint.
In SharePoint 2013, navigate to the SharePoint document library to which you associated the workflow and that contains a document you want to move. Manually start the workflow on a document you want to move.
Once the workflow has run and completed, navigate to the SharePoint Records Center and verify that the document has been stored in the appropriate SharePoint document library.
Create a custom action to move a document to a SharePoint Records Center via a workflow
To make it easier to start the workflow on a document, you could add a custom action to the SharePoint document library via SharePoint Designer as follows:
- In SharePoint Designer 2013, in the Navigation pane, click Lists and Libraries.
- On the List and Libraries page, click on the name of the SharePoint document library to which you want to add a custom action to start a SharePoint workflow.
- On the page for the SharePoint document library under Custom Actions, click New.
- On the Create Custom Action dialog box, enter a name for the custom action in the Name text box (for example ArchiveDoc), select the Initiate workflow option, select the name of the workflow that you created earlier from the drop-down list box, and then click OK.
In SharePoint 2013, you should now be able to see the custom action on the menu for a document and select it to run the workflow to move the document to the SharePoint Records Center.
To access a document's menu, click the ellipsis (...) button behind the document, click the ellipsis button on the context menu that appears, and then select the menu item from the drop-down menu that appears.
- SharePoint Designer workflow: Move a document from one library to another
- Move documents from one library to the next in SharePoint 2010 using Open with Explorer
- Create a content type for document routing to a Records Center

Reading is a wonderful pastime for all ages, but it has a lot of benefits for seniors. Reading can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, for example, which is the leading cause of dementia. Furthermore, as mentioned in our post ‘How to Help Elderly Parents With Dementia Care?’, dementia is common among elderly parents. However, by encouraging them to read, you can help stimulate their brain and improve memory. Reading can also improve attention span, reduce stress, and improve sleeping patterns.
Fortunately, books are currently more accessible to seniors through audiobooks. Artificial intelligence technologies like Alexa can read books out loud, making the experience more convenient for elders who have poor eyesight. While it is not reading per se, listening to audiobooks provides similar health benefits. For instance, a study published in the Benefits of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine outlines that seniors who listen to audiobooks remain mentally active. This is because it is seen as a type of bibliotherapy, which is effective in developing an individual’s self-awareness and empathetic understanding.
Audiobooks are also a way for the elderly to cope with loneliness since it mimics the experience of a loved one reading to them. Loneliness is also linked to health risks in older adults, such as heart disease and a weaker immune system, making listening to stories more important.
Whether your loved one prefers to read or listen, below is a list of great self-help books for seniors:
Best Self: Be You, Only Better
This self-help book tells its readers how the key to creating the most fulfilling life for themselves is within them. Written by life coach Mike Bayer, he teaches his readers to manage their lives from the inside out.
‘Best Self’ is a great book for seniors because it teaches them that they can still achieve their dream life and best self — even at their age. It instructs the reader about how to dig deep within themselves to acknowledge what holds them back. In turn, he informs them how they can break through these to live to the fullest and how to improve your memory as a senior.
From Age-Ing to Sage-Ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older
This book by Zalman Schachter-Shalomi is both inspiring and informative. It’s a guide that inspires its readers to create an aging process for themselves that is filled with adventure, fulfillment, and excitement.
‘From Age-Ing to Sage-Ing’ is perfect for elderly parents because it teaches them how to transform their aging process into one that will focus on their passions rather than anxieties. The author gives elders helpful tips on how to embrace their power to provide value and wisdom to the people around them.
Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, & Endorphin Levels
Written by Loretta Graziano Breuning, this book is a practical guide about habits that trigger happy thoughts. ‘Habits of a Happy Brain’ is filled with simple activities that boost the “happy chemicals” in the brain such as serotonin and endorphins. When active, these hormones can help boost mood.
This book can benefit senior loved ones by allowing them to engage in habits that will lighten their moods. The suggested activities are simple enough for elders to participate in, too. These include simple stretching and finding what makes them laugh. ‘Habits of a Happy Brain’ shows its readers how to live a happier and healthier life, including how to improve their memory— even in their senior years!
The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully
Joan Chittister wrote this book to inform readers about the blessings of aging. The book also celebrates the clear-eyed reality of the aging process by demonstrating how the later years in life are not a burden, but a gift.
‘The Gift of Years’ is perfect for elderly Christian parents and relatives that have fears of getting older. The book tells its reader how to let go of fantasies regarding eternal youth and the anxieties of aging. It shows the elderly how these late years have the gift of becoming fully alive more than ever.
Nearing Ninety: And Other Comedies of Late Life
This book by Judith Viorst is a compilation of poems narrating the joys and sorrows as seniors wait to turn 90. ‘Nearing Ninety’ is stocked with humor that reminds the reader that almost nothing in life should be taken too seriously.
Nearing Ninety can help seniors realize how there are many things to cherish. These include hanging out with loved ones and playing nonstop rounds of Scrabble. Overall, it’s an enjoyable way to remind almost-90-year-olds that there is a lot to appreciate and experience despite their age.
Aging is a natural process in life and these 5 authors have much to say on the highs and lows of aging. The aging journey can come with its own challenges like financial disrupts, dementia, and other health issues. Reading a book off the list will give you some tips on how to improve your memory or handle a myriad of health issues. Hopefully, our lives can be helped and comforted through these times by reading one of these 5 great self-help books. Or catching one on tape!

Many years ago, I discovered that Carol Ryrie Brink had written a book called The Twin Cities (The Macmillan Company, 1961).
You probably recognize her as the author of the 1936 Newbery Medal winner, Caddie Woodlawn. You may not have known that although she was born in Idaho, graduated from Berkeley, she lived in St. Paul for 40 years. Her husband, Raymond, was a professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota. She taught creative writing while she lived here. Hamline University named her as one of twenty-eight outstanding women of Minnesota in 1954.
This book is very much a time capsule and it’s fascinating to read for that reason. With a Euro-centric view of living in Minnesota, the chapters cover figure skating, the skylines and progress of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the indoor gardens, the Winter Carnival, the Minneapolis Aquatennial, the Old Log Theatre, the anticipation of the new Guthrie Theater … and many, many more tidbits. She includes several pages about the native American tribes, all of which have a 1950s lens. Those pages are uncomfortable to read but I appreciate having this perspective on where we’ve come from.
In the chapter “Dinner and a Show,” she writes, “I remember one Sunday when friends from New York tried to take us to lunch in Minneapolis. My husband and I, like our neighbors, were unaccustomed to lunching away from home on a Sunday, but we supposed that it could easily be done. We were as surprised as the New Yorkers to find that most of the restaurants were closed, and that cocktails were entirely out of the question. The only satisfaction that our thirsty friends got out of the adventure was the dubious thrilled of finding themselves in that incredible part of the world known to them as ‘the sticks.’”
She writes about “Jim Hill” in her chapter on the “Empire Builder.” Hill advertised for settlers along his railway so goods and commerce and supplies would flow. He built a fabulous art collection. He believed strongly in education, books, and libraries, so the Hill Reference Library at the St. Paul Central Library was planned shortly before his death. In 1910, Hill published a book called Highways of Progress, in which he wanted to see beyond the present to “anticipate the needs and opportunities of tomorrow.”
It’s tomorrow. We still live in the context of our history … although we’re striving to make forward progress. I’m grateful for the discovery of book treasures like this one. | library |

In this guide we are going to work our way through learning Ecto, a database library for Elixir (https://github.com/elixir-lang/ecto).
Ecto is written by the excellent Elixir team so no surprise it is truly awesome to work with. Big shout out thanks to Jose Valim, Eric Meadows, and the other 100+ contributors to Ecto. Great job!
My time with Ecto has been awesome. Ecto is fast, composable, and flexible.
The official documentation can be found at: http://hexdocs.pm/ecto
Why write this guide?
The official documentation does a great job demonstrating the API but sometimes it is hard to know where to look right? This guide is not a replacement for the level of detail provided by the official documentation.
If you are coming from Rails, there can be a few bumps on your road to productivity. Ecto is not Active Record. In many ways it is better!
This guide is all about reducing if not eliminating those bumps!
I want help you to get started shipping code and not spending hours reading documentation searching for answers to simple questions.
What to expect from this guide
We will use Ecto inside a Phoenix application to learn all the common database actions. We will demonstrate the code in working tests that you can run and verify things work as expected. We also will cover some best practices for getting the most out of Ecto.
I structured of the guide so it will be an example reference to come back to as you begin working with Ecto.

(1) Address the huge shortage of accessible books in Arabic in order to improve the reading comprehension and cultural experience of Arabic-speaking persons who are print disabled.
(2) Promote the integration of members of our community into higher education and the labor market.
Since its inception in 2010, the AlManarah Library has adapted works for tens of thousands of Arabic-speaking people with disabilities. The Library provides access to a vast pool of recorded books from a wide range of fields, including fine literature, children’s books, and reference works. These audiobooks are produced at our own professional recording studios located in Nazareth.
Today, there are over 6,000 audio books in the Library, accessible to tens of thousands of regular and casual users each month through our website and a mobile app developed specifically for this purpose.
Since 2014, the Almanarah Library has been recognized as a public library for persons with visual and reading impairments supported by the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sports.
In May 2017, Mohammed Ben Rashad Al Makhtum, Governor of Dubai, gave the AlManarah Library a prestigious award, recognizing it as the best initiative contributing to the advancement of the Arabic language and the building of a knowledgeable Arabic community.
In February 2018, at the International Conference held at the United Nations Center in Vienna, the Almanarah Library won the Zero Project Award as an outstanding program facilitating access to information for people with disabilities.6 | library |

Does the ZIR-232 have a library of known IR setup codes?
The ZIR-232 has an on-board library of known setup codes for many of devices. The library is organized by the type of device and manufacturer.
For example, if you have a Sony CD changer, you would first indentify the device (i.e., CD player) then the manufacturer (i.e., Sony). The software will then report back to you the four-digit setup code (or codes) registered for a Sony CD player.
If there are multiple setup codes, you can conveniently test individual keys under that code to determine the right four-digit setup code.
To learn more about the onboard library, as well as listing of the devices and known setup codes in the library, refer to the ZIR-232's user's guide. This is available for download from this site.

Today we gathered on Awabakal Country to launch an Aboriginal Literacy Program formed out of a partnership between social purpose organisation Life Without Barriers and Toronto Library.
Lake Macquarie Mayor Cr Kay Fraser opened the event and shared that she still owns the very first books that she was given as a child. Eleven-year-old Kirra Lee Simon did a wonderful Acknowledgement of Country and she was followed by the Biraban dancers who performed three traditional dances for the audience.
The morning was then filled with Aboriginal Cultural Awareness activities for the children, parents and carers in attendance – including storytelling, painting, a musical puppet show featuring native Australian animals, and a possum walk throughout the Library. Branch Librarian Kieran O’Donoghue said, “Toronto Library will be continuing the program in May and June this year with stories in the big blue chair, computer education sessions and even Aboriginal art classes.”
Aboriginal trainee assistant at Lake Macquarie Libraries Maree Simon added, “We intend to reach out to the Aboriginal community in the Lake Macquarie region and invite and welcome them to enjoy the range of activities we offer here. Where better to learn about Aboriginal history and culture than the library!”
Life Without Barriers State Lead for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Initiatives, Les Ahoy said, “This program introduces literacy resources to Aboriginal children which encourages reading and engagement with books, thus improving their literacy skills. Through the program parents and carers will be encouraged to read books with their children. And in doing so, they will be empowered to be the role models for their children.”
Life Without Barriers Chief Executive, Claire Robbs said, “At Life Without Barriers we believe that reconciliation must live in the hearts and minds of all Australians. We must work together to improve education, cultural, spiritual, physical and emotional wellbeing in young Aboriginal and people. We are thrilled to be a part of this wonderful program and partnership that strengthens our community and celebrates the history, cultures and traditions of Aboriginal people.”

After some initial reservations due to my English accent, we settled into a comfortable relationship.
The first book we read was Wings by Danielle Steel, a story based I suspect on the life of Amelia Earhart. It’s a good story and we both enjoyed it. When it was finished, May told me that her husband had had a small plane and she had flown with him to Canada and other places for holidays. Somehow, I had made a good choice for the start.
Sadly, May’s husband had died not long after they had moved into a residential care home and before I met her. Now, with her vision failing fast she was lonely and didn’t like the long wait between my weekly visits for the next installment of her story. With help of the library, we arranged for her to receive a player and regular supply of tapes from the local society which supplied books for the blind. May loved anything by Danielle Steel or Westerns – she particularly liked stories by Louis L’Amour.
Although my weekly visits were superfluous to requirements now she had her audio books, I continued to visit her and we both enjoyed the chats about the differences between England and America. Sadly, once her sight finally closed down altogether and because she was also completely deaf, May had to move to a nursing home.
May has a wonderful daughter who visits her almost every day but she asked me to continue to visit her. Now the circumstances are much different. I had always introduced myself to her when I entered her room because she confided in me that often she didn’t know who was in the room with her or what they were doing. Now, in this new place where she was disorientated and unhappy, this small courtesy seemed more important than ever.
We had a joke between us that I always had cold hands and she would place her own over mine until I was warm; I began to introduce myself as Cold Hand Luke as a nod to her love of Westerns and she knew immediately who it was.
The small joke continues although May is confined to bed now and cannot manage the headphones amongst the oxygen tubes; she is often in pain and sometimes her hearing aids are not working properly. But I still touch her hands and, on a good day, am rewarded with a small smile as I whisper in her ear: ‘Hi May, Cold Hand Luke is here’. | library |

As with its predecessor, the second edition of the “coogelbahn.de construction book” also offers building instructions for complete tracks, but is more intended to inspire you to build your own cool tracks.
If you only own a GraviTrax starter set, however, you won’t be able to do much with the book.
Some additional extensions such as Magnetic Cannons, Jumpers, Scoops and also the new FlexTubes, Dippers and Balls&Spinners are used in the book and you should definitely own them, as well as other starter sets from GraviTrax and GraviTrax Pro.
The tunnel and bridge extensions are also helpful. For the tracks with GraviTrax Pro, only the vertical parts of a maximum of one Pro starter set and one extension set are used.
For the ever-present lack of height stones, there is a craft template for your own height stones to print out in the first Ebook!

Seventeen-year-old Tess Cooper lives by three rules: train hard, study hard, work hard. Swimming is her best chance at a college scholarship. It’s what her parents, her coaches, and even her best friend expect from her—and Tess can always deliver.
Until tragedy strikes.
Tess has a seizure, and her world suddenly becomes one of doctor visits, missed practices, and a summer job stuck behind a counter—not sitting high in the lifeguard chair like every year before.
Instead her spot goes to new guy Charlie. Though his messy hair and laid-back demeanor send Tess' heart racing, she definitely doesn't have time for romance, not when she's in danger of losing her spot on the swim team...and with it, her best shot at attending her dream college. But with the support of her chaotic but loving family, her best friend Mac, an epilepsy support group, and the cute new boy himself, Tess slowly starts to envision a different future for herself: one based on self-acceptance and inclusion.
Cover illustration by Kim Myatt
BREATHING UNDERWATER is inspired by my late-in-life epilepsy diagnosis. Though 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime, this “invisible” disability is rarely represented in commercial fiction. In researching the novel, I had the incredible privilege of interviewing a group of young adults from the Eastern Pennsylvania Epilepsy Foundation.

Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
"Romance adds tension to watertight plotting in this fast-paced, compelling novel from Nash (Lifeline), but it’s the sensitive explorations of life with an invisible disability that anchor this empathetic story." –– Publishers Weekly
"BREATHING UNDERWATER is a compelling story of a perfectionist learning to take life as it comes, all the challenges and the opportunities. A must read for anyone who's had a life-long plan they had to adapt." –– Molly Horan, author of Epically Earnest
"An honest, heartfelt portrait of a young athlete willing to put everything on the line to achieve her dreams. But even more, BREATHING UNDERWATER is an unflinching look at the courage it takes to forge new paths when everything’s stripped away—and, ultimately, discovering what matters most. I loved it." –– Jared Reck, author of A Short History of the Girl Next Door and Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love
"A sincere story of approaching a new reality with a competitive edge." –– Kirkus Reviews
"Nash’s book ... should find devoted fans ready to cheer Tess and her team to victory."
–– Booklist starred review | library |

By D. Hardin
The Goldendale Observatory had its beginnings not in Goldendale, but in Vancouver, Washington at Clark Community College. Four members of an amateur astronomy club began working together on a very ambitious project, the building of a 12 inch telescope on Larch Mountain for the college's astronomy department. Only one of the four had a college degree. Don Conner, the most involved of all, was a high school dropout, and apparently somewhat of a problem child. If this inauspicious beginning was not enough, Don, a retired auto parts worker, had multiple sclerosis severe enough to require his use of a wheel chair for most of the project's existence. Don had a driving interest in astronomy and making telescopes. He started out during the depression grinding mirrors from glass furniture coasters and emery dust discarded as waste from the Fuller Glass Company. He studied all the material on astronomy he could obtain. As Don became increasingly skilled he enjoyed passing on his skills to young people interested in astronomy and telescope making.
Working closely with Don on the grinding, polishing, and constant testing of the observatory's twenty-four and one-half inch, 200 pound Pyrex mirror was Don's long term astronomy club buddy, Mack McConnell. Mack was a glass engraver until an allergy forced him to take a job with the Vancouver Water Department. Another member of the foursome, Omer VanVelden, usually called "Van", was an employee of Weber Machine Company. Van worked nights and weekends manufacturing all the intricate gears, shafts, and fittings needed for the new large telescope.
Less involved in mirror grinding, John Marshall's role was nonetheless crucial. Marshall, a former electrician, did the work on the wiring, switches, motors, and other electrical components. One day John told Don Conner, "I think I can talk the college into financing a large mirror blank. What do you say to a twenty-four and one-half inch?" Perhaps that was the moment the telescope at Goldendale was born. Fitting action to words, John had the 200 pound, five inch thick Pyrex disk on order before the other three members of the group hardly knew what happened. | library |

In 2001 he started a Church Planting Center that has planted over 100 churches since!
You may have heard of his book The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism which was on the New York Times Best Seller List for quite a while. It is directed primarily toward the postmodern skeptic. Last August he released a follow up book, geared more toward the religious person called The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith.
I really enjoy listening to and reading Tim Keller’s solidly biblical, intelligent, fresh perspective. As intelligent as he is, he nevertheless communicates with great gentleness and is extremely down-to-earth. Unfortunately, these things don’t usually go hand-in-hand, but they are present in Pastor Keller’s teaching and ministry. I thank God for him, and for his ministry.
Whether you are new to Keller or are already a fan you may enjoy this treasure trove of free Keller articles and audio. | library |

But have you ever wondered why we commemorate this special day? Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is a time for picnics, parades, and patriotic festivities. It’s a day of unity, pride, and remembrance. In this article, we’ll explore the significance of Independence Day and why it holds such a special place in our hearts. So, grab a sparkler and let’s embark on a journey to discover the roots of this cherished holiday.
The Birth of a Nation
The story of Independence Day begins with the birth of a nation—our nation, the United States of America. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, a revolutionary document that declared the thirteen American colonies free and independent from British rule. This momentous occasion marked the birth of the United States as a sovereign nation, founded on principles of liberty, equality, and self-governance.
A Quest for Freedom
To understand the true essence of Independence Day, we must delve into the motivations behind the quest for freedom. The American colonists sought to break free from the oppressive grip of British rule, yearning for self-determination and the ability to govern themselves. They believed in the fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence became a beacon of hope, uniting the colonists and inspiring them to fight for their rights and future.
Struggles and Sacrifices
The path to independence was not easy. The American Revolution, a long and arduous conflict, was fought with determination, bravery, and sacrifice. The colonists faced countless challenges, including battles, hardships, and the loss of lives. From the iconic Boston Tea Party to the legendary bravery of the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, the American people displayed unwavering resilience in their fight for freedom.
Building a Nation
Independence Day is not only a celebration of freedom but also a tribute to the visionaries who laid the foundation for our great nation. After securing independence, the Founding Fathers embarked on the monumental task of constructing a new government and shaping the principles that would guide the nation. The United States Constitution, ratified in 1787, established a framework for democracy, balancing power among the branches of government and protecting the rights of its citizens. The ideals of liberty, justice, and equality became the cornerstones of the young nation.
The Spirit of Independence
Independence Day is not just a historical milestone; it is a celebration of the enduring spirit of independence that defines the American people. It’s a day to honor the values that have shaped our nation—values such as freedom of speech, religious tolerance, and the pursuit of happiness. It’s a day to reflect on the progress we have made as a society and the work that remains to be done.
Celebrating Independence Day
Each year, on the Fourth of July, we come together as a nation to celebrate Independence Day. It’s a day of parades, fireworks, barbecues, and spending time with loved ones. It’s a time to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy and to remember the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Whether we’re watching a parade or gathering for a picnic, we unite in our shared love for this great country.
So, as we celebrate Independence Day, let’s remember the significance of this special day. It’s a reminder of the courage, resilience, and vision of our founding fathers and the countless men and women who have fought to preserve our freedom. It’s a day to honor the values that make our nation unique and to reflect on the progress we’ve made. As the fireworks illuminate the sky, let freedom ring in our hearts, and may we continue to cherish and protect the precious gift of independence. Happy Fourth of July! | library |

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday denounced the growing wave of school book bans as “deeply disturbing and downright Orwellian.”
“These modern-day efforts from the far right to ban hundreds of books from the top down are dangerous — patently un-American,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor.
“This right-wing cancel culture should be resoundingly condemned,” he added, borrowing a term that Republicans frequently rail against.
Conservatives are targeting school libraries in what experts are calling a historic and concerted book banning effort, censoring materials dealing with race, sexuality and gender from schools.
That includes “Maus,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the horrors of the Holocaust, with Jews depicted as mice and Nazis as cats. A Tennessee school board voted unanimously this month to ban the book from its eighth-grade curriculum, citing “objectionable language” and nudity.
Parents and school boards in Texas and other Republican-controlled states have called for the removal of dozens of other books dealing with themes they have declared offensive.
“Why are we sexualizing our precious children?” one Texas parent said at a school board meeting in November after she spoke out against books about LGBTQ relationships and their impact on children.
A Republican mayor in Mississippi withheld funds from his city’s library until it removed what he called “homosexual material” from its shelves.
“Sexual connotations are not appropriate for children when they enter the library,” the mayor explained.
When asked about the matter on Wednesday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said decisions about literature in schools are usually decided at the local level.
“As a general rule, I don’t favor banning age-appropriate and subject-appropriate books for children,” Cornyn said. “They need to hear a diversity of views. I think [Supreme Court Justice Louis] Brandeis said it best: The best solution to erroneous information is more information.”
Schumer defended the censored literature as “vital” to society because it can “expand people’s understanding of the world around us.”
“We don’t need to look that far into history to see what happens when we go down the dangerous road of censorship and suppression, when free expression is weakened ― the mob is empowered,” Schumer said. “The groundwork is laid for further discrimination, intimidation and, God forbid, increased violence.” | library |

THE MONTAUK CLUB, BROOKLYN
We give on this page an illustration of the new club-house of the Montauk Club of Brooklyn, which in a very short time has become one of the representative social clubs of that city. The building is located on one of the highest points of Prospect Heights, and is in every respect admirably adapted to the uses to which it is to be put. It is four stories high, with basement, and is constructed in the richest style of Venetian architecture.
The first floor has a reception-room, library, and reading-room, a café and morning-room, all reached from the main hall and communicating. On the second floor are the billiard and card rooms, together with the director’s room; while on the third is the main dining-room, the ladies’ dining-room, and the ladies’ parlor. This provision for ladies is a new and promises to be a very popular feature. The ladies’ entrance connects with all the rooms directly, both by staircase and elevator, without passing through any of the halls of the club proper. It is the purpose of the members of the club that their wives and daughters shall share with them all the enjoyments and pleasures which membership in the Montauk is expected to afford, and in this respect they set a very proper and commendable example. The dining-rooms can be thrown together and tables extended the full length of this room and across the plaza end, when two hundred can be comfortably entertained. On the fourth floor are sleeping apartments with bath and toilet rooms. Entirely cut off by fire-proof partitions from other rooms on this floor is the kitchen, which, with its storage and cool rooms, is in communication by means of dummy waiters with the serving-rooms on the floor below. On the upper floor, in the roof, are the laundry and steward’s quarters. A grand balcony will extend around the building at the fourth story level, and underneath this will be a frieze, two and a half feet in width, consisting of a panorama in red and yellow terra-cotta, illustrative of the progress of American civilization. It is the opinion of all who have inspected the new building and examined its interior, that the building committee is entitled to the very heartiest praise for the excellent taste and good judgment which have been displayed in al the arrangements. This committee is composed of J. Rogers Maxwell, Chairman, Leonard Moody, Edward I. Horsman, Rufus T. Griggs, and Albro J. Newton.
We hazard nothing in predicting that the Montauk Club will become a most influential factor in the social life of our sister city. | library |

1) Most ebooks have free reading software right on the site where you bought them. For example, the Kindle reading app is free to download and available for smartphones, tablets, and your computer. The Nook has the same type of program. This is probably the easiest way to read an ebook as these programs are linked to your account on their websites providing instant reading ability as soon as you have purchased the book.
2) Download the PDF file version. From here you have two options. You can print it out from this version and place in a three ring binder or you can read on your computer/smartphone/tablet as a .pdf file. I'm not sure about place saving in the PDF format because honestly I use the kindle app on every device I own plus my actual Kindle. It's a problem. I know.
3) Download and install the free book reading program Calibre. This is an ebook management program that is very easy and free to use. This program comes with the added benefit of being able to open multiple ebook files. Basically if you have some of your e-library in Nook format, some in Kindle, and some in any of the other multitude of formats they are available in Calibre can organize, file, and read all of these from the one program. This is a PC only program so tablets and smartphones are out.
And if none of these options work for you there are plenty of other ones available online. All it takes is a quick Google search and the world of e-reading is thoroughly explored for your convenience.
But most importantly....Have Fun and Keep Reading!
Now don't get me wrong I love physical books. I love books in every form they come in. For a long time I was convinced that I would never love an ebook the same way I loved any piece of my massive physical book collection. Then I moved four times in a single year and I realized that my love of books presented a very real storage and shipping problem. I started reading with the Kindle app and I am so much happier for it. The convenience, the ease, the selection....I could go on and on. That's not to say that I don't still buy the occasional physical copy of a book but now I can keep it to a more reasonable level. I also took some time at the beginning to save up for an e-reader, which can be expensive. | library |

By Ptolemy's reckoning, this star is of the nature of Mercury and Mars. It bestows a determined and headstrong nature, not easily swayed from a chosen course; Shakespeare chose Capulet (derived from the same Latin root) to name one of the warring families of the reckless and headstrong lovers in his most well-known play.
The first aspect the New Moon makes is a trine to Mars, exalted in Capricorn, further underlining the warrior-like energy of this New Moon. The harmonious nature of the aspect encourages us to temper our actions with intellect, much as Minerva's gift of a shield of wisdom helped Perseus combat the Gorgon Medusa and the sea monster Cetus. There are parallels to be drawn with the Buddhist concept of 'right action'; the sixth part of the Eightfold Path which counsels us to act honourably and with respect for the lives and will of everything living.
One of the greatest achievements of the magicians of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was to develop a system of correspondences where tarot cards, mythology, astrology and Kabbalah are interlinked. In this system, the myth of Perseus and Andromeda corresponds with the tarot card 'The Lovers', Gemini the Twins, the Hebrew letter Zayin (meaning 'sword') and the path on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life which links Binah (Saturn, Wisdom, Understanding) with Tiphareth (the Sun, Beauty, Harmony) The essence of this path, and the opportunity of this month's New Moon, is the alchemy which arises from the fusion of opposites, the balance between the senses and the intellect, and the harmonious unity of the personality with the higher self which leads to knowledge of the true will:
"The boat responded
Gaily, to the hand expert with sail and oar
The sea was calm, your heart would have responded
Gaily, when invited, beating obedient
To controlling hands"
The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot

Economists and Climate Change: Consensus and Open Questions describes and analyzes the results of a survey sent to 289 economic experts on climate change. Over 84% of the respondents to the poll said that the effects of global warming will create significant risks to important sectors of the United States and global economies.
The Economic Benefits of Climate Legislation
This brief compiles estimates from several different federal agencies, and calculates that the economic benefits of the emissions cap in the Waxman-Markey bill likely dwarf the costs by as much as 9-to-1 or more. The benefit to cost ratio was determined using the EPA’s previously released (and peer reviewed) cost estimates and a newly released “social cost of carbon” estimate from an interagency process which provides a conservative dollar figure for the benefits of greenhouse gas reductions.
The Economic Case for Coal Ash Regulation
No More Excuses: The Economic Case for Coal Ash Regulation is a brief but careful analysis which reveals several compelling findings on the regulation of the toxic by-product of coal combustion. In broad strokes, it is clear that the benefits of regulating coal ash storage facilities would far outweigh the costs. The benefits of a regulation requiring coal ash to be stored in dry conditions and in synthetically-lined, covered facilities could save tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars per storage facility.
EPA’s Options and Obligations for Regulating Greenhouse Gases
This detailed legal analysis provides an in-depth and thorough discussion of greenhouse gas regulation under the Clean Air Act answering the questions: What are EPA’s obligations under the Clean Air Act, and how far can and should the agency go to regulate greenhouse gases?
Recommendations for the Next Administration
Fixing Regulatory Review: Recommendations for the Next Administration provides a set of recommendations for the Obama Administration to improve the process of regulatory review. It includes ten principles that should inform regulatory review and cost-benefit analysis of regulation, as well as a detailed markup of the Executive Order signed by President William Jefferson Clinton that established the structure of review that is currently in place.

It took 3 applications to Ole Miss, 30,000 US troops, federal Marshals and National Guardsmen, a Supreme Court ruling, the US Attorney General, and the US President to get Meredith through those doors 50 years ago.
James Meredith knew what his goals were, and knew the challenges that lay ahead. I can only hope to have 1% of this man’s strength, conviction, and courage.

Even though these are two of the biggest brands housed under Disney’s massive media umbrella, the new streaming service doesn’t have a complete library for either Star Wars or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Subscribers need not fret though, as the release dates for key missing titles for both brands have been revealed.
When it comes to the MCU, Disney+ came through at the last minute and delivered a much more expansive selection than had previously been expected. Originally, it appeared as though only a handful of titles were going to be available. However, just ahead of the launch of Disney+, it was revealed that some key titles were added. Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Doctor Strange, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Thor: The Dark World, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Iron Man 3, Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame are all available from the start.
But considering there are 23 movies, overall, in the MCU so far, there are some glaring Marvel omissions. On the Star Wars side, both the original trilogy and the prequels are available in their entireties. But some of the more recent additions to a galaxy far, far away, such as The Last Jedi and Solo aren’t available to stream just yet. Via the Disney+ app, several key MCU titles and these remaining Star Wars movies can be searched and, through those searches, the release dates for these titles are revealed. Here’s when to expect some of the missing movies.
- Future Marvel and Star Wars movie release dates
- • Thor: Ragnarok – December 5, 2019
- • Star Wars: The Last Jedi – December 26, 2019
- • Black Panther – March 4, 2020
- • Avengers: Infinity War – June 25, 2020
- • Solo: A Star Wars Story – July 9, 2020
- • Ant-Man and the Wasp – July 29, 2020
Unfortunately on the MCU side, both Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home won’t be hitting the service, at least not anytime soon, as the movies were produced by Sony Pictures. So that makes for a complex licensing situation. To that point, Disney had quite a few pre-existing content deals with various companies that prevented them from having some of these titles available when Disney+ debuted.
Setting that aside, the streaming service will be a huge part of both Star Wars and Marvel in the future. Each franchise has several live-action shows in development that will tie-in heavily with the movies. The Mandalorian is the first ever live-action Star Wars show and it debuted its first episode at launch. On the Marvel side, shows like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki and Hawkeye will start trickling out in 2020. To see everything available on the service, or to subscribe, head on over to DisneyPlus.com. | library |
