Briefing July 12 – July 18, 2020
9:42 pm July 12, 2020
Kashmiri doctor couple, Khurshid Drabu and Lubna, in their US home. They are acquiring a church to create a Kashmir museum.
A Kashmiri couple Dr Khurshid Guru and his wife Dr Lubna Guru, are in the process of buying a 97-year-old vacant church in America at 650 Park Place in Niagara Falls, which reportedly will be converted into a museum and library of art, culture and history of Kashmir which will have over 1,500 paintings, books and artefacts of Kashmir, a collection worth US$ 2 million, collected over the years by the couple. Both are doctors – Khurshid serves the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Lubna is an adolescent and pediatric doctor in Lockport. Since 2005, they are living in East Amherst. They are also planning to buy two additional houses to provide residential space to visiting Kashmiri artists, scholars and contributors. Dr Khurshid Guru is the son of noted Kashmiri cardio-thoracic surgeon, late Dr Abdul Ahad Guru, who was killed by unidentified gunmen outside his house in Barzulla on April 1, 1993. The project details include two lakh dollars for the property, US$1.25 million for construction and improvement, US$250,000 for furniture and equipment and US$300,000 for other costs.
The 97-year old Church in Western New York is currently owned by Michael Suszek.
BANDIPORA
Sheikh Waseem Bari, a portrait
One of BJP's activist and promising leaders who had set up a strong base in the rightwing party in Bandipore, Waseem Bari was killed along with his father Bashir Ahmad and brother Umar Sultan. The assassination, first after August 5, that coincided with Burhan Wani's anniversary, took place metres away from their home and the local police station. A core member of BJP and its state executive member, Waseem's father and brother were also affiliated with BJP, according to the party leaders. A commerce graduate, Bari is survived by wife, two kids and a sister. Bari jumped into BJP after deserting NC. Police have dismissed from service and arrested all the 10 cops who were deployed to guard Bari.
GALWAN
A satellite image of Galwan valley
As the two nuclear neighbours China and India, engaged in a now almost settled faceoff over Galwan heights that killed 20 Indian soldiers, the Bollywood jumped in to cash in. Ajay Devgan announced he will be making a film on the Galwan Valley clash. The actor intends to start the shooting once the Coronavirus pandemic subsides. However, there is no detail about who is writing the story and what it will be all about. Earlier more than two Bollywood masala movies, on the February 2019 Balakote airstrike, were announced but so far apparently there is no progress on the projects. Patriotism apart flicks with security angle is big business. Go and watch Uri that made more money than the best of the Bollywood despite low cost and newcomers in its cast.
CHADOORA
Software developer, Tipu Sultan Wani
In retaliation when Delhi resorted to "digital strike" by banning around 57 Chinese apps in India, a student from Kashmir came with an alternative for at least in one case – ShareIt. A student of management studies, Tipu Sultan Wani developed an alternative app for easing the file transfer woes. The App FileShare Tool was released on Google Play Store last month and so far it has received a 4.8 out of 5 average star rating, while downloads have crossed over 5,000. This free app, reportedly works faster than the original app as it is without advertisements, can be used to share movies, documents and audios, without any limit. Besides this app, Wani, a resident of Chadoora (Budgam), has developed a number of other applications and on his LinkedIn profile he describes himself as the CEO of Travager.com, a site that compares deals on flights, hotels, and car hires. He also has a photo collage tool and a free VPN to his credit.
At the face of it, Nepal is engaged in a crisis with Delhi. There is a lot of propaganda going on against each other. But life is normal. Last week, a Nepali soldier Havildar Sambur Gurung was killed on the Line of Control in Nowshera sector fighting for India. The continuous cross border skirmishes between India and Pakistan are going on for a long time now. Last week at least two women were killed when the shelling was reported at the three sectors of Qasba, Kirni and Degwar of Poonch district. At the same time, the UT administration in Srinagar finally started issuing the domiciles to the Gorkhas living in Jammu. They have been fighting initially for the Dogra Maharajas and later for the Indian army.
UNHRC session in progress in Geneva.
Deeply concerned over Delhi's silence over the details sought by the United Nations on state of human rights in Kashmir, four UN Special Rapporteurs have made public their third communication forwarded to MEA, since the day Kashmir's special status was scrapped on August 5, 2019. The communication expressed grave concern over alleged excessive use of force, ill-treatment during arrests and detentions. The communication is seeking details and the status of 16 persons who were arrested in 2019, some of them later died, according to the communication. The communication has come jointly from the four Rapporteurers – Nils Melzer (Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment), Agnes Callamard (Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions), Fernand de Varennes (Special Rapporteur on minority issues) and Ahmed Shaheed (Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief). The communication has been sent to the Government of India on May 4, 2020, and made public recently, after 60 days of response time. Reportedly the communication includes the list of 13 cases from 2018 alone, in which four children were among eight civilians killed by members of the security forces. After the report of Kashmir in 2018, MEA has alredy conveyed the UN Human Rights Council that they will not be responding to any communication.
Aabha Hanjura
Kashmiri folk and fusion artist Aabha Hanjura has released a festive song centered on Kashmiri traditions and history, Nundbane from her music album Sound of Kashmir. The song shot in Jaipur, is based on the lyrics by famous poet Mahmud Gami. Trying to be different with her songs, Nundbane, she says, brings vibrant Indian folk elements married with a Kashmiri sound, set amidst a very modern arrangement. The idea she says was to do justice to the song and see what the song really demands. She has included the authentic and rustic Kashmiri music instruments like rubab and tumbaknari in her album.
Carmen Greentree with her book based on her two months of abuse in a Srinagar houseboat.
A recently released book in Australia titled Dangerous Pursuit of Happiness is going to haunt the Kashmir's tourism industry for a long time. The author Carmen Greentree, then 22, has painstakingly chronicled her excruciating past in a book, hoping to rest the demons that continue to haunt her. She has penned down her painful ordeal when she was allegedly abducted and held captive in one of the houseboats in Dal Lake and allegedly raped for two months before she managed to escape. She has accused a local Kashmiri houseboat owner for her ordeal. The accused was arrested and later set free as the lady skipped testifying before the court. The alleged rapists has denied allegations.
As the Power Development Department (PDD)'s official website was hacked by the cyber attackers and the officials claimed that they will get all data back in ten days, an electric shock was sent to a poor farmer, Mohammad Hanief, son of Feroz Din of Guhrian Sheiklian village in Mendhar Poonch, when he was handed over a bill of Rs 10 crores only. Hanief sarcastically wished to pay the bill if God had been kind to him so that he could shore up the Union Territory's revenues. Meanwhile, his bill was forwarded by his local Sarpanch to the officials who have informed that it was a computer error.
After the judicial debate over the halt in bi-annual Darbar move, now it is official language of Jammu and Kashmir that is in focus. After a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the High Court, a division bench of Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Sanjay Dhar, have issued the notice to the UT administration for seeking directions to either declare Hindi as the official language or one of the languages in Jammu and Kashmir. The advocates Priyanshu Sharma and Aditya Sharma on behalf of the petitioners had submitted that the commonly used language in Jammu was Dogri and Hindi, which according to them is a compulsory subject up to class 10 and Urdu as optional. The petitioners have sought a direction to government to declare Hindi as official language in Jammu and Kashmir in terms of section 47 of the J&K Reorganization Act-2019. But there was no mention that in the other division of J&K, in Kashmir, Urdu is a compulsory subject and Hindi an optional language.

(Experiment notes)

### 2015/3/19
#### REINFORCE learning for the policy of location network

In the paper, the policy is defined as multivariate gaussian pdf of position.

Then the REINFORCE algorithm learns the gradient of this log probability wrt. weight of location network

This never worked in my experimental setting, instead, it seems the following simple gradient can make REINFORCE work.

$$ \nabla_{\theta}{l_t} $$

---

#### Solve zero-gradient problem for gaussian pdf function in theano

Consider sampled position as a constant in T.grad.

Runs with theano 0.6.

```python
_tanh = nnprocessors.build_activation("tanh")

wl = theano.shared(np.array([[0.2,0.3], [0.1,0.3]], dtype="float32"))
h_t = T.constant(np.array([0.1,0.2]))
l_t = _tanh(T.dot(h_t, wl))
sampled_l_t = _sample_gaussian(l_t, T.constant(np.array([[0.1,0],[0,0.1]]), dtype="float32"))
sampled_pdf = _multi_gaussian_pdf(sampled_l_t, l_t)

g = T.grad(T.log(sampled_pdf), wl, known_grads={sampled_l_t: theano.gradient.DisconnectedType()()})

f = theano.function([], [l_t, sampled_pdf, g])
f()
```

---

### 2015/3/24
#### Variance of gaussian sampler should be decrease when the learning get stucked

---

#### REINFORCE rule does not work well with ADADELTA

---

#### May be use gaussian distribution as policy is a bad idea

If the variance is set to be a small value, then a outlier can give exploding gradient.

If the variance is large, then it's hard to make the training converge.

- stochacity will increase over time in the recurrent network
- Clip gradients can not help much

---

### 2015/3/25
Backprop with RL really is non-trivial thing.

---

It seems ADAGRAD is more stable than ADADELTA leads the validate error to 9.8

![screen shot 2015-03-25 at 12 44 42](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1029280/6818067/ef0081e8-d2ec-11e4-9e4a-a8e08e98f3f7.png)

---

More details found available in "MULTIPLE OBJECT RECOGNITION WITH VISUAL ATTENTION", including variance and zoom ratio (15%)

### 2015/3/26

Final results using fine-tuning ADAGRAD:

- valid error: 3.64
- test error: 4.19

Differences between the model described in literal:

- tanh non-linearity vs. RELU
 - RELU gives explosion in gradients in my experiments
- Reccurent NN vs. LSTM
 - In this experiment, normal recurrent NN is used to save time

 Other insights:

 - Pre-training with random glimpses may be important
  - Use ADADELTA
  - Enable the network to link partial observation to final prediction

Attention trajectories:

As the Harry Potter sequence draws to a close, Harry's most dangerous adventure yet is just beginning . . . and it starts July 16, 2005.
We could tell you, but then we'd have to Obliviate your memory.
J.K. Rowling is best known as the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which were first published between 1997 and 2007. The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione have sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films, the last of which was released in 2011. Alongside the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion volumes -- Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard -- which were published in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos. In 2016, J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to resume Harry's story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened first in London, and is now playing on Broadway and in Melbourne, Australia. In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was inspired by the original companion volume and features magizoologist Newt Scamander. Her second screenplay, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, was released in cinemas in 2018. J.K. Rowling has also written a stand-alone novel for adults, The Casual Vacancy, and, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, is the author of the Strike crime series. She lives in Scotland with her family, and is at her happiest alone in a room, making things up.
'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince': The Kirkus Review
Review Date: JULY 25, 2005
Classification: ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
Revealed at last–now that the fog of whipped-up anticipation, secrecy, hints, threats, news stories of legal action, wild speculation, midnight-oil-burning and marketing smoke is thinning–the penultimate Potter sequel delivers, as have its predecessors, a tale worth the wait. Readers who felt a bit hammered by the adolescent rage coloring Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003) will be relieved to find that Rowling has returned to the lighter tone of earlier episodes, though properly portentous events do swirl in the background, and, as promised: There Is a Death.
Harry enters his sixth year at Hogwarts knowing that he has a pivotal role to play in the now-open war against Voldemort, sure that Draco Malfoy is up to something, and more than a little conflicted by his attraction to Ginny Weasley, sidekick Ron's suddenly not-so-little sister. Harry's relationship to Dumbledore is entering a new phase, too, as under the kindly old wizard's direct guidance, he begins taking trips through a series of magically preserved memories to explore his archenemy's parentage and character.
Meanwhile, Harry's glee at getting a leg up in Potions class thanks to a heavily annotated old textbook that once belonged to a mysterious "Half-Blood Prince" rivals his discomfort at being caught between Ron and Hermione, who are going through a rocky patch, and the horror of discovering that his new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor is none other than hated, hateful Severus Snape. How could Dumbledore possibly insist, as he repeatedly does, that Snape is a trustworthy ally?
While charting teenage infatuations and friendships with a wry wit that occasionally tumbles into outright merriment, Rowling tucks in several revelations (notably, the secret to Voldemort's seeming immortality), adds a dash of sympathy for Malfoy (of all people!), who does indeed turn out to be part of an ugly scheme, and further develops Snape's role as a pivotal character. Then, after a heartrending test of Harry's loyalty to Dumbledore, Rowling propels the plot to a climax that is–thanks to artful pre-pub preparation–tragic, but not uncomfortably shocking. This newest excursion into the Potterverse will leave readers pleased, amused, excited, scared, infuriated, delighted, sad, surprised, thoughtful–and likely wondering where Voldemort has got to, since he appears only in flashbacks. There's no doubt, however, that he'll figure prominently in what promises to be a spectacular finish.

Gr 5 Up–Opening just a few weeks after the previous book left off, the penultimate entry in the series is, as the author foretold, the darkest and most unsettling yet. The deeds of Voldemort's Death Eaters are spreading even to the Muggle world, which is enshrouded in a mist caused by Dementors draining hope and happiness. Harry, turning 16, leaves for Hogwarts with the promise of private lessons with Dumbledore. No longer a fearful boy living under the stairs, he is clearly a leader and increasingly isolated as rumors spread that he is the "Chosen One," the only individual capable of defeating Voldemort. Two attempts on students' lives, Harry's conviction that Draco Malfoy has become a Death Eater, and Snape's usual slimy behavior add to the increasing tension. Yet through it all, Harry and his friends are typical teens, sharing homework and messy rooms, rushing to classes and sports practices, and flirting. Ron and Hermione realize their attraction, as do Harry and Ginny. Dozens of plot strands are p

Is it nature or nurture that drives Adele Baxter Warren's teenage daughter, Mercedes, to become a mass murderer? Town Without Mercy, a complete novella,is contemporary women's fiction dealing with current event drama of mass shootings and gay marriage. Told through the eyes of the mother, a TV news correspondent, Adele must find the answer, even as it takes her away from Mercedes' deathbed where she lays in a coma from the police bullet that stopped the carnage. If Adele follows the leads, the cost could be her seventeen-year-old marriage to same-sex partner, Jodi Warren. The townspeople of Concord Park want revenge. They blame Adele and Jodi's lifestyle as the cause of their daughter's actions, but are they innocent of all blame?
Town Without Mercy, my second novel, published in 2013, was inspired by watching the news during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Watching the horror of the day, my husband and I discussed not only the terrible loss of the children and the grief of their parents, but the question was raised, "What would it be like to be the parent of that shooter?" And Town Without Mercy was born.

IF YOU consider yourself too good to rub shoulders with commoners on holiday, this Pacific island nation should be on your itinerary.
The picturesque archipelago of Palau is considering a new law that would effectively make it off-limits to budget travellers, and a haven only for the cashed-up elite.
The proposed law, which would allow only luxury, five-star hotels to open on the islands, is part of Palau president Tommy Remengesau's new "quality over quantity" approach to tourism, Radio New Zealand reports.
The tourism sector contributes a whopping 85 per cent of the economy in Palau, a remote Pacific archipelago of more than 500 islands west of the Philippines.
But there are concerns about the impact of mass tourism on its natural environment, especially its pristine beaches, coral reefs and wildlife.
So Remengesau hopes to rebrand Palau as a luxury destination both to reduce visitor numbers — and therefore the risk of destructive tourists — and boost visitor spending.
He said the new law would include tax breaks for investors.
"In our definition of high end [tourism] would be that they would also come in with their own designed water treatment system, power backups," he said.
"If there are any other infrastructures that they have to do, like opening a road, the investor would do that themselves.
Chinese tourists are the biggest group of foreign visitors in Palau, but they notoriously spend little money, The Telegraph reports. Last year, Palau decided to halve the number of chartered flights from China — a move Remengesau said paid off.
"While the numbers went down, the actual tourist spending went up," he said.
"It confirms our direction [to attract] less tourists who spend more which equates to more tax dollars.
According to The Telegraph, there are just a few five-star resorts currently in Palau, mostly on the most populous island of Koror.
Should the president's plan go ahead, Palau wouldn't be the only travel destination skewed towards wealthy tourists.
Bhutan, in the Eastern Himalayas, already adopts a "low-volume, high-value" tourism strategy and charges tourists a fixed minimum tariff of a whopping $340 per day, making it one of the world's most expensive places to visit.
A similar approach has also made Botswana home to Africa's priciest — but most satisfying — safari tours.
London is no longer the world's most expensive city to live and work in, according to a new study. See which cities topped the list. Photo: Bloomberg News.

Exploring the Depth of Dream Experience: The Enactive Framework and Methods for Neurophenomenological Research
Elizaveta Solomonova & Xin Wei Sha

> Citation > Similar > References > Add Comment
Context: Phenomenology and the enactive approach pose a unique challenge to dream research: during sleep one seems to be relatively disconnected from both world and body. Movement and perception, prerequisites for sensorimotor subjectivity, are restricted; the dreamer's experience is turned inwards. In cognitive neurosciences, on the other hand, the generally accepted approach holds that dream formation is a direct result of neural activations in the absence of perception, and dreaming is often equated with "delusions." Problem: Can enactivism and phenomenology account for the variety of dream experiences? What kinds of experiential and empirical approaches are required in order to probe into dreaming subjectivity? Investigating qualities of perception, sensation, and embodiment in dreams, as well as the relationship between the dream-world and waking-world requires a step away from a delusional or altered-state framework of dream formation and a step toward an enactive integrative approach. Method: In this article, we will focus on the "depth" of dream experiences, i.e., what is possible in the dream state. Our article is divided into two parts: a theoretical framework for approaching dreaming from an enactive cognition standpoint; and discussion of the role and strategies for experimentation on dreaming. Based on phenomenology and theories of enactivism, we will argue for the primacy of subjectivity and imagination in the formation of lived experience. Results: We propose that neurophenomenology of dreaming is a nascent discipline that requires rethinking the relative role of third-, first- and second-person methodologies, and that a paradigm shift is required in order to investigate dreaming as a phenomenon on a continuum of conscious phenomena as opposed to a break from or an alteration of consciousness. Implications: Dream science, as part of the larger enterprise of consciousness and subjectivity studies, can be included in the enactive framework. This implies that dream experiences are neither passively lived nor functionally disconnected from dreamers' world and body. We propose the basis and some concrete strategies for an empirical enactive neurophenomenology of dreaming. We conclude that investigating dream experiences can illuminate qualities of subjective perception and relation to the world, and thus challenge the traditional subject-object juxtaposition. Constructivist content: This article argues for an interdisciplinary enactive cognitive science approach to dream studies.
Key words: Dreaming, enaction, first-person research, consciousness, neurophenomenology.

Bradford Crown Court has been told that a Halifax man was killed at a Nestle factory because the company failed to implement basic safety measures.
Father of three Nazar Hussain died at food giant Nestle's Albion Mill plant in Bailey Hall Road in December 2008 after a colleague re-started a conveyor-type machine, known as a depalletiser, unaware that Mr Hussain was inside.
During the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution, the court heard that Mr Hussain may have gone into the depalletiser to remove a blockage, as earlier in the day some large sweet tins had jammed the machine, causing the alarm to sound.
Later that day, the machine's alarm sounded again and Mr Hussain's co-worker, who had been covering his break, went to investigate. Being a large machine, he walked around it to check no one was inside. Seeing no one he re-started it but immediately it shuddered, stopped and the alarm re-sounded.
Mr Hussain's body was discovered inside the machine. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The HSE investigation found that a safety key device to halt the machine was available but Nestle failed to ensure its employees were aware of its purpose and how to use it correctly.
HSE said the company's safety breaches were compounded by the fact Nestle had received written advice about improving guarding on a palletiser back in 2002 but had not applied that advice to the machine operated by Mr Hussain.
Nestle UK Ltd., of St George's House, Croydon, pleaded guilty to breaching Sections 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. They were fined £180,000 and ordered to pay £41,826.33 in costs.

The Library has special and unique collections located in all of the University libraries. The majority are located in the Macmillan Brown library, which includes the Rare Books and Modern Fine Print Collections. Collections found within the Art, Archives, Maori and Aotearoa, and the Pacific Collections are located under their own headings in the left hand menu under 'Search our collections'.
Nineteenth century music
This collection comprises mainly first and early editions of music scores of the standard classical composers and, in particular, early 19th Century engraved music scores where title-pages are a feature. Scarce early works on music are being added to this collection.
See the 19th Century Printed Music Collection for a list of items available at the University of Canterbury.
Brian Douglas Collection
A True Musician's Collection: Brian Kirkbride Douglas (1914-1997)
In 1989 Brian Douglas gave his extraordinary collection of music, sound recordings, books and journals to the School of Music at Canterbury University. The Central Library subsequently received the sheet music and scores (which are in excess of 3000 titles) and books (365 titles). His library has its main strength in materials that relate to English piano music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and will be of interest to musicians who would like to expand their repertoire. He was also interested in other European composers of this period, and in particular the Russian composers. In the case of Nicolai Medtner, all his piano works are represented. The works of a number of English composers are featured including Arnold, Bax, Delius, Elgar, Ferguson, Finzi, Holst, Ireland, Moeran, Quilter, Rawsthorne, Richardson and Stanford. The sheet music contains many first editions. The rest of his library reflects a wide ranging musical interest including opera, ballet, chamber, orchestral music and the art song.
The man himself was the son of a leading Manchester surgeon and the fine singer Margaret Kirkbride. He had a typically Edwardian childhood and grew up attending Halle Orchestra concerts under Hamilton Harty and the John Barbirolli. After attending Oxford University, Brian Douglas studied at the Royal College of Music in September 1939 until the outbreak of war (as an infantry captain he was badly wounded) and continued his studies after the war with a government grant. He graduated in 1947 with an ARCM in piano solo and gave his Wigmore Hall debut recital with the monumental piano sonata (1901) of Paul Dukas. Following this, he auditioned with the American Ballet and became its pianist for their tour of war-torn Europe, before accompanying them back to the United States. Then, after periods of teaching and accompanying in England, he moved to Adelaide as accompanist for the Australian Ballet and eventually settled in Christchurch in the 1970s.
The Brian Douglas Collection embodies a true musician's love of music and displays his interest in the piano and chamber music of many of the early twentieth century European composers.
Some items are temporarily unavailable.

De Jong Collection
Jan Willem de Jong
Professor Jan Willem de Jong was a distinguished scholar in Buddhist Studies and founder of South Asian and Buddhist Studies at the Australian National University in Canberra. He died in January 2000. During his career, he was able to gather a vast collection of books in a variety of fields, with a focus on Central Asian and South East Asian religions and history. At the beginning of the year 2000 the University of Canterbury Library acquired the De Jong Collection, estimated to consist of approximately 12,000 items. The project of sorting and cataloguing the books started in June 2000.
Content of the collection
The core of the De Jong Collection is represented by material on Hinduism and Buddhism. Among the many reference books, there are various indexes of Tripitakas and descriptive catalogues of manuscripts in Pali, Sanskrit and Tibetan. Two examples of some important reference titles now catalogued and shelved are the inventory of Tibetan manuscripts from Tun-huang: Inventaire des manuscrits tibétains de Touen-houang, conservés à la Bibliothèque nationale (Fonds Pelliot tibétain), edited by Marcelle Lalou, and published in Paris,1939-<1961>. There is also Sutain [Stein], Perio [Pelliot] shushu Tonko Hokkekyo mokuroku, edited by Kabutogi Shoko, Tokyo, 1978, which is a descriptive catalogue of the Miao-fa-lien-hua-ching from Tunhuang collected by Aurel Stein and Paul Pelliot.
With the acquisition of the De Jong Collection, the University of Canterbury Library has also added some rare items to the Rare Books Collection, such as: Systema Brahmanicum liturgicum, mythologicum, civile, by fr. Paulinus a S. Bartholomaeo, published in Rome, 1791. The author's name Paulinus a S. Bartholomaeo is the pseudonym of the Austrian missionary Philip Wesdin (1748-1806), who spent more than a decade in India. After his return to Rome he wrote some of the very first books published in Europe on Indian literature and customs. Other titles added to the Rare Books Collection include the first English translation from Sanskrit of a Hindu sacred book, by Charles Wilkins: The Bhagvat-geeta, or, Dialogues of Kreeshna and Arjoon ...London, 1785, and Fables choisies, mises en vers, by Jean de La Fontaine, Amsterdam, 1705.
The literature of Buddhism in Japanese represents a large portion of the De Jong Collection, and includes the most important critical studies edited in Japan, many of which are now out of print.
The Collection also includes many monographs on Asian history. Works on India and Tibet figure prominently among these items, together with some historical accounts on Central Asia. One seminal work can be identified in the English translation of a travel account by the explorer Carl Gustaf Mannerheim: Across Asia from West to East in 1906-1908, Helsinki, 1940. Another title worth mentioning is Kintei Seiiki dobunshi, Tokyo, 1961-1964, which is a polyglot gazetteer on Central Asia in Chinese, Kalmyk, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Uighur.
With the acquisition of the De Jong Collection, the University of Canterbury Library can be considered one of the largest resources in New Zealand for the study of Asia in general, and of South East Asian religions and history in particular.
As a person of wide knowledge, Professor de Jong owned many books on other subjects, including Western philosophy, literature and classics. Consequently, the acquisition of the De Jong Collection has enabled the University of Canterbury Library to expand in those fields as well.
A search for De Jong Collection in the Author alphabetical index will find the entire collection of works. To restrict your search to items in the De Jong Collection, use the Global keyword index and enter a keyword, eg 'Buddhism', followed by: 'De Jong'.

After a number of requests over the years for more recreational reading, the University of Canterbury Library is very pleased and proud to bring to you – through the generosity of donors – this small but exclusive collection of science-fiction novels.
The novels have attracted attention from students and staff alike – both sci-fi fans and those with only a passing interest. Some have also seen it as an opportunity to finally find a caring home for their own well-thumbed and much-loved treasures.
Housed in the EPS Library in the casual reading space on Level 2, the collection includes about 300 items. Browse the collection by searching the catalogue by author or title or browse the shelves on Level 2 of the EPS Library – the books are shelved by the first three letters of the author's surname.
Walter Scott Collection
This includes first and other early editions of Scott's works. It comprises about 350 volumes, and early collected editions make up most of this number. It was purchased from a member of our English Department, A.W.S. Stockwell, in 1981
Young Persons' fiction
Comprises 1000 items from the late 19th century until the 1930s. Includes adventure stories (authors such as G. Henty, Jules Verne and William Kingston), school stories (eg Angela Brazil and Elsie Oxenham), colonial writing (eg Ethel Turner) and some conduct literature. There are runs of the Boys Own Paper, Girls Own Annual and other annuals for both sexes.
The collection represents a merger of two smaller collections: one purchased in the 1980s from Professor D.C. Gunby, formerly of the English department, and the memorial collection of Iain Henderson, formerly of the Christchurch College of Education.

Continues to head lower, as losses accelerated after breaking below 1.3300 handle. Loss of the last barriers at 1.3280 and 1.3258, 30 Nov low / channel support, opens way towards 1.3211, 25 Nov low and 1.3200, weekly H&S neckline, break below which to complete the pattern and focus 1.3145, with extension towards psychological level at 1.3000 not ruled out. Negative hourly studies favor this scenario, however, oversold conditions may delay bears in favor of corrective bounce. Initial resistances lie at 1.3280/1.3300, ahead of 20 day SMA, currently at 1.3320 and maintaining bear-tone. Only regain of today's highs at 1.3380 zone would provide near-term relief.
Has nearly fully recovered today's losses from 1.5657, day's high, after break below 1.5560, range floor, found footstep at 1.5536, just ahead of strong support at 1.5525. However, gains stalled just ahead of 1.5657/64 resistance zone, with fresh weakness putting pressure on 1.5600 support. Near-term studies remain in the negative territory, keeping the downside vulnerable, with only sustained break above 1.5657/64 barriers to ease bear-pressure.
Turns the near-term tone into positive field after break above the recent range broke above bear-trendline off 78.27 high, to briefly test 78.00 barrier. Corrective pullback on overbought hourlies should find support at/ above 77.70/60 supports, to maintain positive structure, with clear break above 78.00 to open way for further gains and retest of 78.27/44. Loss of 77.60, however, would signal return to the near-term range and risk test of range floor at 77.48.
Final push through 0.9300 congestion has triggered fresh rally that cleared previous highs at 0.9313/28, to post marginally fresh two-week high at 0.9336. Near-term bulls are fully in play, with 0.9350/0.9400 in focus and possible extension towards strong resistance at 0.9461, 10 Oct low, seen on a break. However, overbought conditions risk corrective pullback, before fresh action. Previous resistances at 0.9300/0.9280 zone, now offer initial support.

Dallas Airmotive Launches Price CAP Promise Engine Maintenance Program for Leonardo Helicopters AW109 Trekker Operators
Program Offers Price Surety, Tailored Support in 3 Tiered Packages for PW207C Engine Overhauls
HELI-EXPO – Atlanta, GA – Dallas Airmotive, a BBA Aviation Global Engine Service company, announced today that Leonardo Helicopters AW109 Trekker helicopter operators have three new maintenance package options for their next PW207C engine overhaul under Dallas Airmotive's Price CAP Promise Program. The program provides price-surety choices for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C engine operators in three tiered packages: Complete, Advanced and Premier.
Dallas Airmotive's Price CAP Promise Program three maintenance package options host a set not-to-exceed price, similar to a flat-rate program. The program provides the customer with tailored support at each package level, enhancing the services for the overhaul event.
"We've listened to our customers need for guaranteed pricing, and our Price CAP Promise Program for the PW207C answers that request," Mark Stubbs, Chief Commercial Officer of Global Engine Services said. "The program gives customers the flexibility to choose from pre-packaged solutions we've found to be optimal for different types of operators and allows [customers] to customize them to fit their situation."
Package features include items such as varying levels of support including bench testing of engine accessories or overhaul of engine accessories, logistics services and warranty coverage.
"No two helicopter operators are alike, and neither are their engine maintenance needs," Stubbs said. "Our goal is to meet each customer's needs by tailoring our support to them, and by giving them a new maintenance solution allowing them to budget with confidence and eliminate surprises on their final invoice, we're doing just that."
Dallas Airmotive is designated by Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of PW200 engines for both the P&WC-managed Eagle Service Plan™ (ESP™) program and non-program participants.
