Review: Lyrebird – Cecelia Ahern – Oh Book It!
This one is from 2017. It was the first adult novel I had bought by Cecelia Ahern, I remember picking it up from Morrisons because of the beautiful cover. I had already read one of her YA novels so I knew that I should like it. Plus, I need to point out again: THE COVER.
This is one of my favourite books of all time. I absolutely love this. SO MUCH.
The characters are so unique! Laura is brilliant. I did notice a character who was a bit like her in One Hundred Names and it made me wonder if the idea came from there. But wherever the idea came from, I just LOVED Laura. Her skills were one-of-a-kind and I had never seen a character like her and as unique as her in any book, ever.
I also loved Solomon and his compassionate and caring side. He was such a loving character and clearly never fitted in with the people who surrounded him. He was the one who cared and saw Laura as a real person rather than just an item for a money-making scheme.
I don't think any book can ever live up to this one. The story about loving someone and never wanting them to change who they are really got to me. It was so emotional and had me gripped over the couple of days it took me to read it. I would definitely re-read this to death if I had the time.
I don't even know how to say how much I love it. The story just fills my heart with so much love, and I think it's a story about acceptance that every single person should read at some point in their life.

Haven't read this one but you know I'm a big fan of hers. Now to add to my TBR pile. Great review.

Manchester City VS Fulham Live Football Score Match 05 Nov 2022
Peer BuxNovember 5, 2022
Seeking to extend their winning run at the Etihad Stadium to 15 games across all competitions, Manchester City play host to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Citizens currently sit second in the table and two points adrift of leaders Arsenal, while the Cottagers are flying high in seventh place, five points behind the top four.After securing a slender 1-0 victory away at Leicester City last weekend, courtesy of a stunning Kevin De Bruyne free kick, Man City capped off their Champions League group-stage campaign with a 3-1 success at home against Sevilla on Wednesday.
In what was a dead rubber fixture for the Citizens, who had already qualified for the last 16 as Group A winners, Rafa Mir headed the visitors in front before half time, but 17-year-old Rico Lewis equalised on his full debut – breaking a Champions League record in the process – before Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez completed the comeback to keep the Sky Blues unbeaten in this season's competition.
Indeed, City's win over Sevilla is the first of four successive matches at the Etihad before the World Cup break, with Saturday's clash against Fulham followed by next Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round tie with Chelsea and a Premier League encounter against Brentford.
Guardiola's men have put together an impressive 14-game winning streak on home soil in all competitions – scoring at least three goals in all but one of those fixtures – and they are unbeaten in their last 18 matches at the Etihad since a 3-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur back in February.
City have already scored 10 goals at home against two newly-promoted teams this season, beating Bournemouth 4-0 and Nottingham Forest 6-0 in August, and they will be confident of more success against Fulham this weekend.
The Citizens have won each of their last 12 meetings in all competitions against the Cottagers, and claiming another victory would see Guardiola's side momentarily climb to the Premier League summit before leaders Arsenal travel to Chelsea on Sunday.Fulham were unable to claim a third successive Premier League victory last weekend as they were forced to play out a goalless draw at home against Everton.
The Cottagers registered just six of their 24 shots on target and head coach Marco Silva was left ruing several missed opportunities to win the match against a resilient Toffees outfit, who had an inspired Jordan Pickford to thank between the sticks.
Nevertheless, after winning the Championship title last season, Fulham fans will be delighted to see their side sitting seventh in the Premier League table, eight points clear of the relegation zone and above the likes of Liverpool, West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City who all finished the previous campaign in the top half.
Fulham have already accumulated more points this season (19) after 13 games than they managed at this stage of the 2018-19 (eight) and 2020-21 (nine) campaigns combined, but adding more points to their tally could prove challenging this weekend.
The West Londoners have lost each of their last nine Premier League meetings against Man City, failing to score in their last five, and they have also won just two of their 15 top-flight away matches against reigning champions, although they did secure a 1-0 win in their most recent such meeting against Liverpool in March 2021.
In addition, three of Fulham's four Premier League victories against Man City have come at the Etihad – most recently a 3-1 win in April 2009 – which bodes well for Silva and co heading into Saturday's contest.Guardiola is hopeful that Erling Braut Haaland will be fit to lead the line for Man City on Saturday; the Norwegian striker has missed the last two games with ankle ligament damage and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.
Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips both remain sidelined as they continue to recover from respective groin and shoulder surgeries, but there is optimism around both players in their quest to return before the World Cup.
After making seven changes against Sevilla, Guardiola is expected to recall a number of his first-team regulars, with De Bruyne, Rodri and Bernardo Silva all set to start in midfield.
Centre-back Manuel Akanji missed training earlier this week and was not involved on Wednesday, but he is expected to be fit for Saturday's game and could return to the back four along with Joao Cancelo, John Stones and Nathan Ake, who were all benched in midweek.
As for Fulham, Silva is forced to make at least two changes to his starting lineup, as makeshift right-back Bobby Decordova-Reid is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, while Neeskens Kebano is ruled out for "several months" with a ruptured Achilles.
Kenny Tete recovered from injury to feature as a substitute last weekend and the Dutchman is the most likely candidate to replace Decordova-Reid at right-back, joining Issa Diop, Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson in the back four.
The absence of Kebano could see either Daniel James or Harry Wilson handed a start on the right flank, joining Willian and Aleksandar Mitrovic in attack – only Haaland (17) and Harry Kane (10) have scored more Premier League goals than Mitrovic (nine) so far this season.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Stones, Akanji, Ake, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; James, Pereira, Willian; MitrovicMan City vs Fulham prediction
Goals look very much the order of the day here. The even money about both teams to score (yes) is a rock-solid punt but we can enhance that to 11/8 by combining it with a Manchester City win. That's has to be the way to go.
Man City vs Fulham prediction: Manchester City win and Both Teams To Score (YES) – 11/8
Man City vs Fulham odds with Betfred
Man City – 1/9
Draw – 15/2
Fulham – 16/1
Betfred is offering new customers an incredible £60 worth of bonuses when you sign up and bet £10 on any event! Fulham's average xGA of 2.04 is the worst in the league and it's a number that explains why, despite having scored more goals than the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, that they have a goal difference of zero.
Overall, Fulham are flying high. Very few newly promoted sides sit as high as seventh in the Premier League a third of the way into the season but that's where Marco Silva's side find themselves on the back of a four-game unbeaten run. They racked up a host of decent chances against a resilient Everton last weekend but it was just one of those nights for Fulham, something which can happen to any side.
Only Harry Kane has scored more Premier League goals this term than Aleksandar Mitrovic and make no mistake, Fulhan head to the Etihad carrying a huge goal threat.

Strategies to remain compliant as Brexit becomes a reality.
To say European businesses having been operating in a time of uncertainty could qualify as the understatement of the year. From the moment the U.K. voted to leave the EU to just before Brexit is meant to take place, there have been huge questions raised concerning the right of employees to work across countries within the EU and beyond. Frustratingly for everyone, answers have been few and far between, leaving organisations to speculate on what they might need to do to secure and manage their international workforces. Some are even faced with the prospect of having to prepare for every eventuality.

The Second French Empire (1905) D. Appleton & Co.
Dr. Edward Crane was a writer and editor who, during the American Civil War assisted Dr. Thomas Evans.. Evans was noted for his exhibit of hospital tents, railroad hospital cars, surgical instruments, etc. He had already seen first-hand the gruesome results of modern warfare during the Crimean War and the French-Italian conflict of 1859, and his visit to Grant's headquarters allowed him to study a subject close to his heart: "provisions made for the care of the sick and wounded." That, and the two months he spent in Philadelphia afterwards gathering information about the latest developments in hygiene, led to a book detailing the work of the sanitary commission (a volunteer citizens' association that supplemented the work of the Army Medical Bureau). It was followed by another book, Sanitary Institutions during the Austro-Prussian-Italian Conflict of 1866. Both would impress important readers in Europe, and would, despite resistance from bureaucracies, lead to changes in the treatment of wounded soldiers.
From the preface, "This is a great book to read: it is really three great books in one, so to speak. It is (1) an account of some of the experiences of an Anglo Indian Agent to the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico; (2) a brief account of the Spanish conquistadors who explored and colonized the Rio Grande Valley, and (3) a 21 gun broadside blast at New Mexican politics and politicians, as they related to the Indians, form 1919 to 1926...."
Indians of the Enchanted Desert ~ Southwest Indian history ~ Navajo & Hopi Indians.
This is an extensive collection of photos taken largely between the years of 1913 and 1934. The subject matter is primarily the Native Americans (Hopi, Navajo, Mohave, and Pueblo Tribes) of Arizona and New Mexico, their land, material culture, rituals, and the Anglo population, trading posts, flora and fauna, and the livestock industry--including Ganado, Hopi Villages, Leupp, Tuba City, Keams Canyon, Fort Defiance, Parker, Winslow, Holbrook, Albuquerque, the Hubbell family, H opi Dances, the Cavalry, shepherds, sheep, cattle, and landscapes.
Leo Crane was the Indian Agent at Keams Canyon for the Hopi and Navajo Tribes, starting in 1911. He then served as the agent for the Pueblo Tribes of New Mexico, and was later transferred to the Crow Creek Reservation, Sou th Dakota. He also worked at the Colorado River Tribes Agency. In the 1950's he worked as guide and ranger at the Boulder Canyon Dam. He authored two books on the southwest: Indians of the Enchanted Desert and Desert Drums: The Pueb lo Indians of New Mexico, 1540-1928.
Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909)was one of the most famous authors in the English-speaking world at the time of his death in 1909. He wrote over forty novels. Many of them were the types of disposable romances popular at the time, but he also wrote some stories of the horror and occult. These are generally the ones for which he is now remembered. He was the son of the famous American sculptor Thomas Crawford. His mother, Louise Ward, was a sister of Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Both his parents belonged to prominent Boston families, buth chose to live in Italy. FMC was born and grew up in Italy, setting of many of his books. He attended St Paul's School in NH, Harvard, Heidelberg University in Germany, and the University of Rome, in his native Italy. He was cultured, cosmopolitan, widely travelled and rich. Much to the horror of his Boston relations, he became a Roman Catholic. Beginning with his novel Mr Isaacs (1882), a big success, he produced some forty books: while it was running through the press Crawford began a more carefully composed novel, "Dr. Claudius" (1883), which more than repeated the success of "Mr. Isaacs". His third novel, "A Roman Singer", ran serially in the "Atlantic Monthly" and was published in 1884. It was this third novel which opened out to Crawford his true field, the description of Italian life and character with its many cosmopolitan, and especially its American and English, affiliations. He was the author of some forty novels and one play, "Francesca da Rimini", and his publications commanded a larger sale than those of any contemporary writer of fiction in England or in the United States: "Zoroaster" (1885); "A Tale of a Lonely Parish" (1886); "Saracinesca" (1887); "Marzio's Crucifix" (1887); "Paul Patoff" (1887); "Greifenstein" (1889); "Sant' Ilario" (1889); "A Cigarette Maker's Romance" (1890); "The Witch of Prague" (1891); "Don Orsino" (1892); "Pietro Ghisleri" (1893); "The Ralstons" (1895); "Corleone" (1897); "Via Crucis" (1899); "In the Palace of the King" (1900); "Marietta, A Maid of Venice" (1901); "The Heart of Rome" (1903); "Whosoever Shall Offend" (1904); "Soprano, A Portrait" (1905); "Fair Margaret" (1905); "The Primadonna" (1907); and "The Diva's Ruby" (1908).
Francis Marion Crawford was an American writer noted for his many novels, especially those set in Italy, and for his classic weird and fantastic stories.
John Carey Cremony: Interpreter to the U.S. Boundary Commission, Under the Hon. John R. Bartlett, in 1849, '50, and '51, and late major of Californian Volunteer Cavalry, Operating in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Western Arkansas. Cremony wrote absorbing eyewitness descriptions of pre-reservation Apache life and culture, in particular the Chiricahua Apaches. Through his years in the military, Cremony fought in the war with Mexico and participated in many Indian campaigns in the southwest deserts. In 1848 he served as Spanish interpreter for the U. S. Boundary Commission where he learned to speak Apache and subsequently wrote a glossary and grammar of the language. Although he wrote this book with the intent to encourage more effective military suppression of the intimidating Apaches, this historical document has all of the fast-paced action and excitement of a Wild West novel. Of particular note are his accounts of the life of Mangas Coloradas -- a man far more important to history than Cremony. An important classic of general and Native American history.
Cremony's book inspired many a Hollywood screenwriter, and for years his words have been taken as gospel. Scholars have since shown that Cremony was habitually inflating his own importance and his knowledge of Apache ways and history. Of particular note are his highly fictionalized accounts of the life of Mangas Coloradas -- a man far more important to history than Cremony. But this work remains an extremely telling document of a time and place -- and all the strange attitudes that made up "white" perceptions. It is a refreshingly open and objective look at the Apache culture before the reservations. Cremony wrote the first dictionary of the Apache language and earned their grudging respect. He shows admiration for their amazing courage, endurance, and skills of warfare and survival. But, since this was written a century before the political correctness Victorianism we now are censored by, Cremony is able to share his concerns about their interesting work ethic (it is dishonorable for a man to work besides hunting and stealing) and their cruelty. Cremony makes some polite comments about the extreme attractiveness of some of the Apache women which suggests, at a minimum, an emotional involvement -- which adds a touching romantic side to this well written account.
Major John C. Cremony was a Boston newspaperman who enrolled in the Massachusetts Volunteers in 1846, serving as a lieutenant. He served as a Spanish language interpreter for the U.S. Boundary Commission which laid out the Mexican and United States Border between 1849-1852. He went on to serve as Captain in Company B, 2nd Regiment California Volunteer Cavalry a unit of California Volunteers, with the California Column in New Mexico Territory. He eventually achieved the rank of Major in 1864 and commanded the 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, California Volunteers until 1866. He was the first editor of San Francisco's Weekly Sunday Times newspaper.
"One of the Humdrum School. Features plodding, methodical Insp. French. Complex, mechanical plots written by a civil and railway engineer, and it shows."
"Full of thrilling scenes and romance. The highs and lows, poverty and plenty and the hights and depths of human emotion" "The Golden Cocoon paints a grim picture of life in the cottonfields and an even grimmer one of the faculty at the University of Texas, "a backwash of incompetents whom life had rejected."
Mattie Ruth Cross (1887-1981), novelist, the oldest of four children of Dr. Walter D. and Willie Alta (Cole) Cross, was born in Sylvan, Texas, on December 25, 1887. After moving around the South while her father, a former high school principal, finished his medical education, Ruth returned with her family to Sylvan, in rural Lamar County, where she attended local schools. Strongly influenced by her mother, a music teacher versed in Greek and Latin, Ruth excelled in her studies and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Texas. She had enrolled in college in 1904 and worked her way through by teaching in small Texas and Oklahoma towns. When an eye malady impaired Ruth's vision, her mother traveled to Austin to assist with her coursework. After her mother died, Ruth depended upon friends to read and take notes for her. She was awarded a B.A. in creative writing in 1911 and then taught in Longview, emphasizing oral work in her Latin and German classes in order to spare her eyes. Writing fiction, however, remained her first ambition. After studying for a summer at the University of Chicago, she subsidized her creative efforts with stints as a housekeeper, travel companion, interior decorator, and real-estate broker in New York, Nevada, and California. Undeterred by almost a decade of rejection, she began selling her "cotton field" tales to Holland's magazine. Her literary career then bloomed quickly. In 1922 Louis B. Mayer based a movie on her short story "A Question of Honor." Two years later Harper published her first novel, The Golden Cocoon, which was greeted by favorable reviews and printed in five editions. After paying Cross $25,000 for the movie rights, Warner Brothers in 1925 filmed this saga of a farm girl from the Black Hills who survives heartbreak as the governor's mistress and then leaves her glamorous life in Austin to struggle as a writer in New York City. Flushed with the additional success of a one-act play on the Keith vaudeville circuit, Ruth Cross in 1924 married George W. Palmer, a horticulturist and financier. Together they bought and renovated Edendale, a forty-acre farm estate outside Winsted, Connecticut, home to fellow Texas writers Dorothy Scarborough,qv Annie Laurie Williams, and Maurice Crain. Over the next two decades, Cross published five novels: The Unknown Goddess (1926), Enchantment (1930), The Big Road (1931), Soldier of Good Fortune (1936), and Back Door to Happiness (1937). She also wrote two works of nonfiction, Eden on a Country Hill (1938) and Wake Up and Garden (1942), and numerous stories and articles for magazines. Always enthusiastic about her fruits and flowers, she contributed to Heinz's "Magazine of the Air" on WABC radio and broadcast an original program called "Your Garden and Home." Just before her husband's death in 1947, Cross sold Edendale. She lived for a few years in New York City and then moved to Winnfield, Louisiana, her mother's hometown, to be near the families of her sister and brother. In 1975 she donated her papers to Northwestern State University at Natchitoches, which a year later published her final book, The Beautiful and the Doomed. Although her first novel established Cross as a writer of note, her subsequent books did not live up to its promise. Drawing on memories of her childhood, she set many of her tales in "Law's Chapel," a fictional counterpart of Sylvan, and critics commended her realism and local color in both The Golden Cocoon and The Big Road. When her characters left Texas for Broadway and the big cities, however, her "riotous imagination" tinged the plot with melodrama in such books as Enchantment. But even when Cross was out of the critical eye, she continued to write; at the age of eighty-eight she was planning a novel about her psychic experiences. She died in Winnfield on September 30, 1981.
Wilbur F. Crummer (45th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer).
William Crummer was a native a Galena, Illinois, and an Union enlisted man during the Civil War.In 1915, he published his book, With Grant at Donelson, Shiloh and Vicksburg.
"The Coward" March 1904 ~ McClure's Magazine with illustrations by George Gibbs.
Edward Cummings ??(doubtful that e.e. is the same Cummings) was born into the family of a Unitarian minister in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1894, near the turn of the century; yet a child, he started writing romantically colored poems. Having completed five years at Harvard where Greek and English literature had been his specialities, he moved to New York and spent several months seriously at work as a cubist painter. In the early days* of the First World War he went to France to join an American ambulance corps. A month or two in Paris taught him to speak fluent French; partly because of the fact he could easily communicate to the French and seemed to know more than officers of his rank were allowed to, he found himself imprisoned on suspicion of being a spy at the end of 1917. Out of his experience in World War I came his first book, The Enormous Room, a classic among war books, illustrated by his own drawings. Cummings' whole career is marked by creative surprise. Throughout his life he was interested in a variety of literary and art forms. Examples extend to plays, a ballet, and a collection of pictures, done in charcoal, ink, oil, pencil, and water color. He painted all of his life, and once referred to himself as "an author of pictures, a draftsman of words".Nevertheless, when he died in 1962, Cummings was called by the critics as, "next to Robert Frost, the most popular contemporary poet in the nation". Today many of his most enthusiastic admirers are among the young.
Back to God's Country 1920.
London -- for the hero is a Great Dane brought to the Frazer River by a Chinese gold prospector, & the dog, Wapi, fought against unbeatable odds to defend the honor of a woman he had decided was his mistress. "The Match" & a few others are Mounties tales. "The Case of Beauvois" is a macabre tale of murder. "The Mouse" is about just such a pet kept in a sourdough's pocket. All these stories set in "the white wilderness of moaning storm" are simply outstanding.
The Black Hunter New York: Cosmopolitan Book Co. 1926. First Edition.
The Flaming Forest Grosset & Dunlap 1921.
dustwrapper art shows a brooding portrait of wilderness tragedy. This was the third of Curwood's brilliant trilogy, preceded by River's End and The Valley of Silent Men, adventure-filled tales of the Canadian Mounties. About a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, abducted by a band of outlaws, was originally published by Rinehart & Company in 1921.
New York: Grosset and Dunlap. (1921). Photo-play Edition.
Illustrated with scenes from the First National picture starring Lewis Stone and Ruth Renick.
A Romance of the Wild. NY: Grosset & Dunlap, 1918, 1925 Doubleday Page frontispiece by Frank B. Hoffman, showing the great bear Thor's encounter with a procupine. The tale of the Rockies & of a bear & its hunter, Langdon. Something of a companion-piece to Kazan.
James Oliver Curwood lived most of his life in Owosso, Michigan, where he was born on June 12, 1878. His first novel was The Courage of Captain Plum (1908) and he published one or two novels each year thereafter, until his death on August 13, 1927. Owosso residents honor his name to this day, & Curwood Castle is the town's main tourist attraction. The Castle, shown in the center illustration (2-b), was built in 1922, in which decade Curwood became one of America's best selling & most highly paid authors. This was the decade of his lasting classics The Valley of Silent Men (1920) & The Flaming Forest (1921). Would that every worthy writer could earn a castle for their labors! He & his wife Ethel were outdoors fanatics and active conservationists. She assisted uncredited on several of his manuscripts & wrote a substantial portion of Green Timber (1930) unfinished at the time of her husband's death. Green Timber was a tale of settlers in the wilderness of his native Michigan, but the majority of his books were about the far north of Canada. These were rough & tumble adventures, of which readers in the Lower 48 could not get enough. Curwood loved Canada & made many wilderness excursions into the most rugged regions, even wintering among Inuits under the harshest conditions. Today most Americans are pretty ignorant of Canada's grand history, but in Curwood's heyday American children were as apt to play at being red-coated Mounties as they were at being cowboys --and the Romance of the frozen North was closely identified with this thrilling American writer.
The screenplay/story is attributed to popular writer James Oliver Curwood. It is described elsewhere as an early 'jungle movie' but there doesn't appear to be any extant copy or plot summary. None of Curwood's published works that would fit the description, though perhaps the story might have been published in a magazine -- then again, perhaps it was a direct-to-screenplay work, as Curwood seems to have been involved in writing for early films. Interestingly the Selig company had its headquarters in Chicago, and the first Tarzan movie (1918) was filmed at the Selig Zoo Park in California. Possibly "Thor..." might have been an early attempt to cash in on the popularity of Tarzan of the Apes.
My Life on the Plains - 1881 Sheldon & Co.
"It is but a few years ago that every schoolboy, supposed to possess the rudiments of a knowledge of the geography of the United States, could give the boundaries and a general description of the Great American Desert. As to the boundary the knowledge seemed to be quite explicit: on the north bounded by the Upper Missouri, on the east by the Lower Missouri and Mississippi, on the south by Texas, and on the west by the Rocky Mountains. . . .

George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876). At 23 he was the youngest General in the Civil War. After the war Custer sought fame in the Western Indian campaigns. Known as Long Hair Custer he led the attack on the camp of Chief Blcak Kettle and his Cheyenne at Wasita. He and more than 200 men of the 7th Cavalry met their deaths at the Little Big Horn in 1876. In many of the later photos he is wearing the uniform he designed.
George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876): Flamboyant in life, George Armstrong Custer has remained one of the best-known figures in American history and popular mythology long after his death at the hands of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Custer was born in New Rumley, Ohio, and spent much of his childhood with a half-sister in Monroe, Michigan. Immediately after high school he enrolled in West Point, where he utterly failed to distinguish himself in any positive way. Several days after graduating last in his class, he failed in his duty as officer of the guard to stop a fight between two cadets. He was court-martialed and saved from punishment only by the huge need for officers with the outbreak of the Civil War. Custer did unexpectedly well in the Civil War. He fought in the First Battle of Bull Run, and served with panache and distinction in the Virginia and Gettysburg campaigns. Although his units suffered enormously high casualty rates -- even by the standards of the bloody Civil War -- his fearless aggression in battle earned him the respect of his commanding generals and increasingly put him in the public eye. His cavalry units played a critical role in forcing the retreat of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's forces; in gratitude, General Philip Sheridan purchased and made a gift of the Appomatox surrender table to Custer and his wife, Elizabeth Bacon Custer. In July of 1866 Custer was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Seventh Cavalry. The next year he led the cavalry in a muddled campaign against the Southern Cheyenne. In late 1867 Custer was court-martialed and suspended from duty for a year for being absent from duty during the campaign. Custer maintained that he was simply being made a scapegoat for a failed campaign, and his old friend General Phil Sheridan agreed, calling Custer back to duty in 1868. In the eyes of the army, Custer redeemed himself by his November 1868 attack on Black Kettle's band on the banks of the Washita River. Custer was sent to the Northern Plains in 1873, where he soon participated in a few small skirmishes with the Lakota in the Yellowstone area. The following year, he lead a 1,200 person expedition to the Black Hills, whose possession the United States had guaranteed the Lakota just six years before. In 1876, Custer was scheduled to lead part of the anti-Lakota expedition, along with Generals John Gibbon and George Crook. He almost didn't make it, however, because his March testimony about Indian Service corruption so infuriated President Ulysses S. Grant that he relieved Custer of his command and replaced him with General Alfred Terry. Popular disgust, however, forced Grant to reverse his decision. Custer went West to meet his destiny. The original United States plan for defeating the Lakota called for the three forces under the command of Crook, Gibbon, and Custer to trap the bulk of the Lakota and Cheyenne population between them and deal them a crushing defeat. Custer, however, advanced much more quickly than he had been ordered to do, and neared what he thought was a large Indian village on the morning of June 25, 1876. Custer's rapid advance had put him far ahead of Gibbon's slower-moving infantry brigades, and unbeknownst to him, General Crook's forces had been turned back by Crazy Horse and his band at Rosebud Creek. On the verge of what seemed to him a certain and glorious victory for both the United States and himself, Custer ordered an immediate attack on the Indian village. Contemptuous of Indian military prowess, he split his forces into three parts to ensure that fewer Indians would escape. The attack was one the greatest fiascos of the United States Army, as thousands of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors forced Custer's unit back onto a long, dusty ridge parallel to the Little Bighorn, surrounded them, and killed all 210 of them. Custer's blunders cost him his life but gained him everlasting fame. His defeat at the Little Bighorn made the life of what would have been an obscure 19th century military figure into the subject of countless songs, books and paintings. His widow, Elizabeth Bacon Custer, did what she could to further his reputation, writing laudatory accounts of his life that portrayed him as not only a military genius but also a refined and cultivated man, a patron of the arts, and a budding statesman. Countless paintings of "Custer's Last Stand" were made, including one mass-distributed by the Anheuser-Busch brewing company. All of these paintings -- as did the misnomer "the Custer massacre" -- depicted Custer as a gallant victim, surrounded by bloodthirsty savages intent upon his annihilation. Forgotten were the facts that he had started the battle by attacking the Indian village, and that most of Indians present were forced to surrender within a year of their greatest battlefield triumph.

The Real Obama Outs Himself as Architect of The 'Great Awakening'
By CSN June 25, 2020 Category: Commentary
By Judi McLeod –June 24, 2020
After eight long years of never knowing who Barack Obama really was, and almost four years after he is no longer in the White House, (at least officially) he has at long last outed himself as a textbook-style Conquering Hero.
Obama is the self-identified 'Architect of the "Great Awakening" in a self-portrait that couldn't possibly be more clear.
All should Take A Knee and bow down to the Architect of the Great Awakening!
The "Great Awakening" will fundamentally transform the America so many love and admire; rid the nation of law and order, starting with police forces, leaving the way clear for predators posing as "peaceful protesters".
At the same time when people everywhere are giving in to their propaganda-planted fear, it's prime time for Survival of the Fittest.
"Former President Barack Obama referred to the ongoing unrest around the country, associated with the Black Lives Matter protests, as a "Great Awakening" in his remarks to a fundraiser for former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday. (Breitbart, June 23, 2020)
"Obama said:
"And the good news, what make me optimistic is, the fact that there is a Great Awakening going on around the country particularly among younger people who are saying not only are they fed up with the shambolic disorganized mean spirited approach to governance that we've seen over the last couple of years but more than that are eager to take on some of the core challenges that have been facing this country for centuries."
"…The current wave of protests, ostensibly motivated by outrage at the death of George Floyd, 46, an African American man, in the custody of Minneapolis, Minnesota, police, has devolved into riots and vandalism, with widespread destruction of historic statues and monuments."
No call from the 'Architect of the Great Awakening' for restraint from mob looting and burning; no calls for peace.
Tragic that at the very same time, Obama has come forward to lead the raging mobs, Republican senators are refusing to back President Trump's 'treason' claim against Obama:
"Senate Republicans on Tuesday distanced themselves from President Donald Trump's claim that former President Barack Obama committed "treason," refusing to back up the unfounded allegation that has fueled the president's revenge campaign against his predecessor. (Politco, June 23, 2020)
"In general, Republicans have shied away from directly criticizing the president's comments and actions as the November election approaches. In fact, they have heeded Trump's encouragement to undertake wide-ranging investigations targeting Obama administration officials for their roles in opening up the investigations that have ensnared Trump and his associates for years.
"But accusing Obama of treason was a bridge too far, they said.
"I don't think that President Obama committed treason," said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who is up for reelection this year.
"I don't know what he's talking about," added Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). "I don't have any evidence to believe he committed treason."
"It's a silly, comedic thing, and you guys got to stop taking it all so seriously," said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who laughed off the question. "I don't think the former president committed treason."
"GOP senators avoided echoing those unfounded claims. While many of them are sympathetic to Trump's concerns about the origins of the Russia investigation, for example, Republicans simply did not want to talk about it on Tuesday.
"I've got more important things to worry about," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said.
"Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who is leading an investigation into the Obama administration's activities during the presidential transition process in late 2016 and early 2017, similarly declined to endorse Trump's "treason" charge.
"The president speaks for himself," Johnson said. "I'm looking at the corruption with the transition process, which I think is evidently true. And we just need to figure out all that did happen so that the American people understand it, so hopefully it'll never happen again. I'm not going to respond to what the president said."
"Hopefully" is not good enough Sen. Johnson, particularly when the word "hopefully" is coming from the mouth of a self-serving politician.
"In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network on Monday, Trump accused Obama of treason but did not provide evidence to back up the allegation.(Politico)
"It's a constant refrain from Trump, whose allies have ramped up their attacks against Obama in recent months — accusing the former president of illegally targeting Trump and his associates during the 2016 campaign and the presidential transition period.
"Treason, the only crime specifically defined in the U.S. Constitution, is punishable by death and has rarely been charged in modern times. But Trump has a penchant for accusing his political foes of treason, most notably Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the House Intelligence Committee chairman, who led the impeachment efforts against the president. While presidents often criticize their predecessors, it's highly unusual for one president to accuse another of treason."
If "Fundamentally Transforming" America as its seated president, and weaponizing intelligence agencies like the FBI is not treason, then what is?
From the safety of private life as a multi-millionaire from money somehow accrued as a 2-time president and no longer needing his Teleprompter, Obama is now leading the "Great Awakening".
Obama has taken his oft-repeated "This is Not Who We Are" all the way to "This is Who We Will Force You To Be"—with no advance warning.
Meanwhile welcome to the New World where predators walk zombie-like among us.
It's become a bold New World where only mob rule will survive.
Only Heaven can help us.


Hatch bemoans "unfortunate politicization" of the Supreme Court confirmation process.
Five months from retirement, outgoing U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch gave a speech at the Sutherland Institute on Thursday that underlined an important duty he hopes to complete before he leaves office at the beginning of 2019—the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hatch's speech followed similar logic, lamenting the "unfortunate politicization" of the confirmation process and the "fishing expedition" of his Democratic colleagues, who demanded "millions and millions and millions of pages of documents" that reflect Kavanaugh's rulings and his time as White House counsel during the George W. Bush administration.
"It was a key position that they wanted to fill before a presidential election, which just wasn't the right thing to do," Hatch said.
"The best we can do is get people who are honest, capable, knowledgeable, brilliant in this particular case, and just hope for the best," Hatch said.

DUBLIN, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) today announced they are working to provide colorectal cancer screening technologies in low income and underserved communities across the United States through the Medtronic Health Equity Assistance Program for colon cancer screening, with support from Amazon Web Services (AWS). The initiative will include the donation of 50 Medtronic GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy modules to endoscopy centers across the country that can potentially improve the detection of polyps that can lead to colorectal cancer. Certain types of colorectal cancer, when caught early, can have a survival rate (five year) of up to 91%; however, it remains the third most common and third deadliest cancer among adults in the United States. With these placements, there is an opportunity to potentially impact more than 350,000 patients over three years.
The goal of this program is to increase early detection and diagnosis in underserved communities.
"Addressing gaps in colorectal cancer screening is complex. We know that Black adults are more likely to be diagnosed and subsequently die from this disease. There are also disparities in screenings among different groups, including adults in rural communities," said Douglas K. Rex, M.D., MASGE, president, ASGE. "Colonoscopy is critical in preventing colorectal cancer and as the global leader in gastrointestinal endoscopy, ASGE is working together with Medtronic to ensure that providers receive screening technology and are able to use them in communities where they are most needed."
AWS has provided computing credits that have made the funding of this program possible and continues to work with Medtronic to support the ongoing development of GI Genius™ and innovative future Medtronic health screening technologies that will further support Medtronic's health equity efforts. ASGE is independently leading the application and selection process to determine the facilities that otherwise would be unable to fund this innovative solution for underserved patient populations. Initial recipients will be announced in March 2022 during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
"The crisis of health inequities cannot be solved without expanding access to healthcare technologies that put people first," said Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. "We must begin with local efforts that consider the needs of the community. This program is an important step towards ensuring that our powerful technologies help reduce disparities, improve care and enhance patient outcomes."
The GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module, authorized by the FDA in April 2021, detects colorectal polyps of varying shapes and sizes automatically in real time which helps diagnose and prevent colorectal cancer. It is the first-to-market, computer-aided polyp detection system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that provides physicians with a powerful solution in the fight to screen, detect and prevent colorectal cancer and an increase of up to 14.4% absolute detection rate (ADR). Each 1% increase in ADR decreases patients' risk of colorectal cancer by 3%.
Earlier this month, Medtronic released its Global Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Annual Report, which maps out the Company's Zero Barriers commitment to remove barriers to opportunity -- including efforts to improve access to healthcare technology. As part of this work, Medtronic introduced several initiatives in 2021 to reduce health inequities among people of color living with diabetes, including supporting the American Diabetes Association's Technology Access Project.
"This effort is part of Medtronic's Zero Barriers approach to building equity within our healthcare system, accelerating our innovation and helping to bring our lifesaving technologies to more patients," said Giovanni Di Napoli, president of the Medtronic Gastrointestinal business, which is part of the Medical Surgical Portfolio at Medtronic. "The program represents a continuation of Medtronic's commitment to health equity anchored in healthcare technology."
"Individual health outcomes should not depend on socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or neighborhood," said Maggie Carter, global lead for social impact at AWS. "We are pleased to support Medtronic and ASGE as part of AWS's recently launched health equity program to help these organizations bring effective screening tools to the communities that need them most."

Institute of Business Studies (IBS-Moscow), The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Moscow -
Institute of Business Studies (IBS-Moscow) within the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, a leading collegiate business school in Russia, was established in 1988.
Its creation was supported by two leading Russian universities:
The Moscow State University of International Relations that specialises in educating diplomats and experts in external economic relations and
The Russian Presidential Academy of National and Public Administration that is known in Russia as a 'forge of ministers' for its strong expertise in management.
The organisational structure of IBS-Moscow consists of two major units:
Undergraduate Department
Postgraduate Department
Their work is supported and carried out by more than 70 employees and over 100 high-quality teachers.
83% of IBS-Moscow's faculty hold a PhD or a higher degree, being engaged in application studies and management consulting.
Now our long-term degree programmes are delivered to nearly 1,500 students: 500 attending the BBA and pre-experience Master programmes, and around 1,000 attending the part-time MBA, EMBA and Universiteit Antwerpen Management School's EMBA programmes.
IBS-Moscow currently does not conduct full-time MBA programmes due to the existing market situation (with almost zero demand for them). Since IBS-Moscow's inception, over 15,000 have completed the School's degree programmes, 4,000 of whom are members of our Alumni Association.

Huster gave Newcastle an early lead with their first attack of the match.
But against the run of play, the hosts equalised through Cooney-Cross just prior to the half-hour.
Stengel skilfully brought down Emily van Egmond's smart pass, only to blast over the bar from a good position.
The striker converted her next chance, forcing home a penalty following a foul on Brewer.
Arin Gilliland tested Casey Dumont with a stinging shot from distance after the restart and soon fizzed another effort marginally over the bar.
Newcastle's pressure eventually resulted in a match-sealing third from Brewer with just under 20 minutes remaining.
Stengel was denied what would have been a stunning second by the bar, and Cortnee Vine's follow-up was ruled offside.
Tori Huster gave the visitors an early advantage.
Jenna Kinglsey's deflected ball in from the right dropped kindly for Huster, who manoeuvred her body well to guide a left-footed finish inside the near post.
Cooney-Cross got ahead of Nikola Orgill and headed Lia Privitelli's pinpoint first-time cross in off the defender.
Brewer was chopped down in the area by Annabel Martin. Dumont got her left hand to Stengel's resultant spot-kick but was unable to keep it out.
Brewer this time turned scorer as she won possession, dribbled into the area, collected a one-two with Stengel and finished coolly at close range.

news 'Wakanda Forever' Review: Messy Black Panther Sequel Still Pays Loving Tribute to Chadwick Boseman
Thread starter indienews
The last thing that we see Chadwick Boseman's King T'Challa do in 2018's "Black Panther" is appear before the United Nations, where he reveals to the world that his African nation of Wakanda has secretly been a superpower for several thousand years. While the character would go on to appear in some other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies before the actor who played him succumbed to colon cancer in August 2020 — an illness that Boseman had endured with almost Wakandan privacy — T'Challa's mid-credits declaration has since assumed the haunted urgency of a man's dying wish.
T'Challa's defining act as the king of his country was to puncture the bubble that had protected Wakanda since that fateful day when a meteorite full of vibranium crash-landed onto its shores. Through his fight with Erik Killmonger, a villain forged by colonialism and the abandonment of his own people alike, T'Challa came to accept that the citizens of Earth are inextricably connected to each other, for better or worse. He believed that it was still possible for "better" to win out in the end.
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," which began production just a few short months after the unexpected death of its leading man and forced screenwriters Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole to radically overhaul the story it would tell, is a film about how narrow the margins of that victory can be. It's a film that watches its grieving characters as they grapple with the ripple effects of T'Challa's last wish (a process that forces more than one of them to revisit the late king's dilemma between honoring his father and ruling on his own terms).
It's also a film that internalizes those ripple effects within itself. "Wakanda Forever" reluctantly opens itself up to the rest of the MCU over the course of its 160-minute running time, continuing to do so even as every scrap of mega-franchise synergy eats away at the self-contained identity that allowed "Black Panther" to silo itself away from so much of the usual bullshit and deliver a blockbuster in which amazing craft and active engagement with history saw it tower above most of the spandex-and-CGI spectacles that pass for movies these days.

Despite the culture-shaking impact of its predecessor and the tragic context of Boseman's death — both of which this film tackles head-on — "Wakanda Forever" is almost by nature more conventional and less exultant than "Black Panther." Its highs are lower, its lows are more exasperating, and its oceanic undercurrents of loss and healing can be hard to feel amid a cluttered story that spends too much time on the surface.
And yet, for all of the film's shuddery pacing, thoroughly mediocre action setpieces, and the clumsiness with which it's forced to double as backdoor pilot for Disney+'s "Ironheart" series, Coogler's subthread of the MCU continues to operate at a significantly higher strata of thought, artistry, and feeling than the rest of Marvel's assembly line. Every major character in Wakanda is left to determine whether T'Challa's memory will be a blessing or a torment, and the movie around them is so wracked by the same tension that even its most formulaic moments are heavy with a human weight that blockbusters seldom have the strength to carry.
Unsurprisingly, "Wakanda Forever" handles T'Challa's actual (and entirely off-screen) death with grace and aplomb, as the film opens with a self-contained prologue that addresses the inevitable with the bare minimum of MCU nonsense, while also foregrounding the personal toll that Wakanda's loss takes on the late king's little sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright). Watching the tech prodigy beg her vibranium-powered "illness"-curing machine for updates about its "confidence rate" of curing her brother feels like a fitting way to start a $200 million blockbuster that was so publicly destabilized just before it went into production. It's as if the movie itself were holding on for dear life, a candid admission that allows Coogler's more intimate scenes to involve the audience in mourning someone they miss too in their own way.
Wakanda is a mess in the wake of T'Challa's death, even if the country has never looked better. A quick note about Ruth Carter: The Oscar-winning costume designer has never been shy about her astonishing talents, but it's hard to describe the career-best work she does here with the resources and opportunities available to her. The resplendent white cloaks in which people drape themselves for T'Challa's funeral are just the tip of the tip of an iceberg that stretches from above the surface to the ocean floor, as virtually every scene in this movie wears a stunning visible reminder that "Wakanda Forever" has a sense of self that extends far beyond its Marvel brand identity.
But let's get back to the drama. Played by Angela Bassett with the delicate stoicism of a mother whose sadness is never far at hand, Queen Ramonda ensures that someone is watching the throne, but Wakanda feels leaderless in spite of her strength. At a time when the country's traditions were already being tested by the outside world for the first time in its history, Wakanda also finds itself fending off instability from within its own borders, as its various figureheads all have different ideas about how to proceed without a heart-shaped herb to formally consecrate their next sovereign.

These conflicts aren't framed with the revolutionary fire that Killmonger brought to the table, but rather with the sensitivity of a people scattered in spite of their mutual love and respect. M'Baku (the ever-lovable Winston Duke) isn't trying to exploit the power vacuum that T'Challa left behind, but he's got strong feelings about Wakanda's place in the world, and his characteristic traditionalism doesn't always sync with his queen's strategy — it wouldn't be Wakanda without someone vying for the throne.
Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) is living in Haiti, while Daniel Kaluuya's traitor W'Kabi is missing altogether, a scheduling quirk that lends to the sense of a nation in disarray. Lucky for us, his wife Okoye has been promoted in his absence, with Danai Gurira making a full meal of her role as the ultra-intense Dora Milaje-in-chief. It's also fun to see the likes of Michaela Cole fighting by her side, even if the choppy action scenes don't offer all that much to look at, and it seems like Coogler didn't even try to stage a setpiece as fluid or memorable as the Busan club brawl in "Black Panther."
But none of the internecine conflicts are as volatile as the one happening between Shuri and herself, as T'Challa's kid sister grieves the loss of a person she's never lived without at the same time as she kicks herself over her failure to save him. "Black Panther" introduced Shuri as a genius who could science her way out of any situation, but the lesson that some problems can't be solved with brains and pluck alone changes her at the deepest level; it pokes holes in her shield and confronts her with the reality of a world that won't always keep a respectful distance, making her a natural stand-in for Wakanda at large.
Light enough to float when things get serious but grippingly ambivalent during even her most heroic moments, Wright is excellent in a performance strong enough to earn her an ongoing place in the Marvel pantheon ("Wakanda Forever" still builds in a few eye-rolling contingency plans for the future just in case the actress has some other toxic opinions that Disney doesn't know about yet). She gives a performance that feels more calibrated for an earthbound drama than a superhero movie, which allows "Wakanda Forever" to continue splitting the difference between those modes during a story that embraces the supernatural a lot more than "Black Panther" ever did.
And now that Wakanda is on the world stage, there are those who might seek to take advantage of Shuri's turbulent headspace and play her against her own people. Enter: The pointy-eared Mesoamerican sea king Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejía), whose Atlantean kingdom of Talokan has been using vibranium to hide under the water in much the same way as Wakanda has been using it to hide above it. Talokan didn't get a vote in T'Challa's unilateral decision to share news of vibranium's existence with the industrialized world, and Namor is, um, extremely not happy when the U.S. government comes digging for the magical space material on his proverbial doorstep.
Without spoiling the geopolitical history of the guy's Mayan-inspired home or revealing why all the other Talokan have Na'vi-blue skin — to say nothing of how he got the fantastically stupid-looking ankle wings that let him zip through the air look a hummingbird — it's safe to assume that Namor has some very personal (even molecular) history with colonization, and isn't much interested in subjecting his people to it again. He hopes that Wakanda might ally with Talokan for a preemptive strike against every other civilization on Earth, and if they refuse, well, he's happy to drown them along with the rest of the world.
Namor may lack the personal animus that made Killmonger such an unusually compelling Marvel villain, but he shares that character's postcolonial anger, his distorted righteousness, and his utter disinterest in wearing clothes. Like Killmonger, Namor represents a violent but not altogether illogical threat to Wakanda — one that interrogates the integrity of its Afrofuturistic utopia rather than flatters it, and plays into imperialistic strategies of pitting rival tribes against each other (something that "Wakanda Forever" addresses to whatever extent a modern Hollywood movie of its size possibly can). Combined with a ravishing underwater kingdom that cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw ("Palo Alto") ingeniously brings to life with counterintuitive flashes of red, that's enough to make Namor one of the more arresting bad guys that Marvel has ever brought to the screen.
And yet Coogler still doesn't quite manage to seize on the character's full potential, as Namor's two big action scenes including the movie's floating grand finale, turn out to be massive duds, with few memorable images or cheer-worthy moments between them (there goes that Oscar!). Listen carefully and you can almost hear James Cameron licking his lips. Nothing here is on par with the infamously cartoonish subway fight in "Black Panther," but not even Ludwig Göransson having a full-on limit break over the soundtrack — the Oscar-winning composer building on the epic foundation of his "Black Panther" score with Mayan instruments and dashes of Nigerian Street Music — can spice up these generic clashes.
Worst of all is a Cambridge-set chase sequence that finds Shuri and Okoye trying to escape the feds along with Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), the brilliant yet insufferably underwritten MIT student they've been sent to bring back to Wakanda. The character is a dull and extraneous slice of corporate synergy to begin with — as you can tell by the way this film can't find anything for her to do once it's opened the door for her spin-off series — but Riri is still in the spotlight long enough to personify the Iron Man-ification of the "Black Panther" saga, and chip away at the propulsive uniqueness that elevated Coogler's movies above the rest of the MCU. This probably isn't what T'Challa had in mind, but I suppose it's the price that he was willing to pay.
Of course, the Ironheart of it all is a fitting problem for a Marvel film so focused on how empires struggle to maintain their identity in the face of an increasingly hostile world, and how people struggle to do the same in the absence of the lights who once guided them forwards. "Wakanda Forever" doesn't always find the most fluid or compelling ways to dramatize those dilemmas, but it never loses sight of their urgency, and Shuri's path ultimately allows it to tap into rich veins of feeling whenever the movie is able to reconcile the franchise it comes from with the future it maps for itself.
Death is not the end — not for Talokan or Wakanda, not for T'Challa or Chadwick Boseman, and not for anyone who inspires the people who loved them to build off the memory they left behind.
Grade: B+
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures will release "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" in theaters on Friday, November 11.

Library Finds Purse Hidden Since 1966
by Donald Liebenson • July 6, 2017
Do you know who these people are?
In 1973, author John Bellairs wrote the award-winning children's gothic horror novel, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, illustrated by Edward Gorey. Unknown until now, in about 1966 Glencoe Public Library became The Library with a Purse in Its Walls, and staff members are seeking further clues in solving the mystery of the 51-year-old fold-over leather clutch.
"I came into work and there was a black purse sitting on my desk," said Library Director Andrew Kim. "I thought it belonged in lost and found."
But this was no ordinary lost purse. On further inspection, it was revealed to be something of a mini-time capsule purportedly from a half-century ago. Contractors found the purse in the course of installing an enhanced HVAC system, a project scheduled to be completed mid-summer.
Inside the purse were intriguing artifacts: a nail brush, a lipstick, a single earing, a Mongol 480 pencil, and two black and white photographs. One is of a youngish-looking girl reminiscent of the character Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird." The other is of an older woman, bundled against the cold and standing in front of a snow-covered house.
Finally, there is a dentist appointment slip for Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 3:05 p.m. The dentist office was located across the street from the library at 333 Park Avenue in the building currently occupied on the first floor by BMO Harris Bank. The dentist's name was Arthur S. Dunn. His phone number is listed on the slip as Vernon 5-2157. The hand-written name on the slip appears to be Ellen Pritikin. Attempts to find her or someone who might know or have known her have been unsuccessful.
A check of Glencoe vintage telephone directories and good old-fashioned Googling determined that the only year in which Oct. 11 fell on a Tuesday and that Dr. Dunn's phone number matched the number listed on the slip was 1966.
According to Kim, contractors found the purse on the library's lower level behind a wall of what is now the staff bathroom. In 1966, that room was a patron restroom in what was then the children's department. Could the purse have been stolen and discarded in a vent in the restroom after the wallet was removed? Not likely, Kim said.
"A contractor told me that there was no open vent ductwork or open vent in the room," he said.
Directly above the restroom is what is now the director's office, but Kim said he believes that space was the library's periodical room 51 years ago. Could the purse have been dropped in a vent from the periodical room, falling into an area behind a wall in the lower level? Hard to say, as Kim explained that the building has been altered so much over the last half century, that "where there is ductwork now, ductwork might not have existed 50 years ago."
Until the mystery can be solved, Liz McClain, head of Adult Services, said she is inclined to relax the library's Lost and Found policy. Officially, items are discarded after six months.
If you know anything about this purse or the whereabouts of Ellen Pritikin, please contact the Glencoe Public Library at (847) 835-5056.

* (30:25) Along came a spider.
* (44:31) Ryan's GMing advice in four sentences.
Please do yourselves (and me) a service and play DungeonWorld (or any other PbtA). It just seems so perfect for you and your roleplaying style.
Better still, ask either Adam Koebel (one of the Authors) or Jason Cordova (of "The Gauntlet" and "Discern Realities" podcasts) to GM a session for you.
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the game that I currently believe to be (one of) the best storytelling systems around.
I just now realized how much my previous comment must sound like an ad.
I'm just a fan of the show and dw both.


Promotion: Receive double points on all stays of 1-2 nights and triple points on all stays of 3+ nights. Receive 250 bonus points on all stays booked online through spg.com or 500 bonus points on all stays booked through the SPG iPhone app. Receive an additional 250 points for "checking in" with Foursqaure (link your Starwood account to Foursquare here).
Promotion: Earn 5,000 bonus after 5 nights and 10,000 points after every 5 nights thereafter.
Promotion: Stay at any Radisson in the US, Canada, or Caribbean and get a free night certificate to use by December 31, 2013.
Personally, none of these promotions are really wowing me, but free points is free points so I cannot complain. If you have any desire to stay at an expensive Radisson hotel, such as the Radisson Blu Chicago, Radisson Aruba, or Radisson Blu St. Martin, I'd suggest registering a few accounts for this promotion and earning your free night certificate. I am also a personal fan of Marriott's MegaBonus promotion where I can earn a free night at a category 1-4 promotion. I know that limits the usage of the free nights, but I've always found some great redemption opportunities for them – such as the Courtyard Marriott in Marina del Rey. Other than that, the Starwood promotion can be a winner since you can automatically get an extra 750 points per stay on top of the 2x or 3x points. And the Hyatt promotion is good for those who have 5, 10, 15, etc. nights. The Starwood and Hyat promotion are pretty equal in my book so stay at the one where you prefer to redeem their points.
