Taking a stroll in the ruins of Pompeii was… I don't know… using a little bit of imagination, it felt kind of like taking a time travel about 2000 years back in time. We walked the streets, checked out local brothels and bakeries and enjoyed the sun shine on marble stones embedded in the streets. The bright white stones also reflect the moonlight, making it easy to follow the main roads in night-time. It must still be a beautiful sight, like watching the reflection of a sparkly night sky.
After the eruption of a volcano close by the Vesuvius (Vesuvius was evidently formed during this eruption), the city of Pompeii was completely covered by volcanic stone and ashes. Along with the buildings, about 2000 of the 20-30 000 people residing there, cats, dogs and other animals were buried alive. They all had roughly three days to get out, but for some reason they didn't. The cavities and the bones left after the decay of the bodies were so well preserved, that complete plaster casts were made at the discovery. Seeing the shape of humans, like 2000 year old echoes of their dying moments, made a profound impression somewhere in me.


Church members consider temples houses of God for sacred ceremonies. Regular weekly religious services take place chapels and meeting houses. Anyone can enter an LDS meeting house or chapel, but aside from the times when a temple is open to the public, only church members in good standing who have permission, or "temple recommends," can enter.
Church officials say they expect between 200,000 and 300,000 people to tour the temple before Church President Thomas S. Monson dedicates it Sunday, Nov. 19. After that, the temple will be closed to non-Mormons. Tour reservations are made here.
During the tours, the public will be allowed into the most sacred areas of the temple, including the rooms where baptisms and marriage ceremonies take place. The public will also be able to visit the Celestial Room. Located on the third floor, the highest floor of the temple, it's a room for quiet prayer and contemplation, notable for its light colors, high ceiling, massive chandelier and stained glass.
Meridian's temple is the fifth LDS temple in Idaho. Church leaders expect the Meridian temple to serve about 60,000 Mormons.
Church officials would not say how much the 67,331-square-foot temple cost. They estimate that close to 2,000 craftspeople, most of them local, worked on the project from excavation to the building's finishing touches, which included painting murals and crafting stained glass windows and woodwork.
Many of the building's materials, including Egyptian stone and African wood, come from outside the U.S. But artistic elements evoke the southern Idaho landscape. Among the art are murals featuring western mountains; stained glass windows featuring the syringa, Idaho state flower; and a color palette in many parts of the temple of soft browns, blues and ochres.
The temple design is based on an Arts and Crafts era, Prairie-style design similar to temples in Cardston, Alberta, Canada and Laie, Hawaii.
The state is home to 426,000 church members, about a quarter of the population. A sixth temple is planned in Pocatello. Other temples are in Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Rexburg and Boise. Boise's temple, built in 1984, was rededicated in 2012 after a public visitation period.
Members of the church first began settling in the Meridian area in the 1920s and 1930s. Many were farmers attracted to the area's climate and long growing season, said Cook on Monday. About 40 members held the first organized meeting in 1932. They didn't have a formal meeting place, so held meetings in the chapel of the local undertaker on East Idaho Street, then later at a dance hall on Second Street and Broadway Avenue.
It was common, Cook said, for church members to have to sweep the floors and clear away beer bottles and cigarette butts left behind by revelers before beginning their service. The church dedicated its first meeting house in Meridian in 1941.
"We've come a long way," Cook said.
Free public open houses will continue through Nov. 11, except for the Sundays of Oct. 22, Oct. 29 and Nov. 5.
The temple is at 7345 N. Linder Road in Meridian.
The temple will be dedicated Sunday, Nov. 19, in three sessions at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. The dedication will be broadcast to church members at meeting houses in Idaho and in the temple district.
A celebration for youths honoring Idaho and church history will take place on Saturday, Nov. 18, at Taco Bell Arena in Boise. The time has yet to be determined, pending the Bronco football schedule.

Q: how to stop overflow of div with 100% width I have this example and I need to stop the blue div from overflowing (respect the padding), but I need 100% width.

#container{
    width: 400px;
    display: block;
    padding-left 50px;
    border : solid 1px brown;
    min-height: 400px;
    background: green;
}
#content {
    margin-left: 50px;
    margin-right: 50px;
    min-height: 200px;
    width:100%;
    background: blue;
}

pls how could I do that.

A: If you don't set the width of your content, I think everything works out as you'd like?
http://jsfiddle.net/PPYQQ/
#container {
    width: 400px;
    display: block;
    padding-left 50px;
    border : solid 1px brown;
    min-height: 400px;
    background: green;
}

#content {
    margin-left: 50px;
    margin-right: 50px;
    min-height: 200px;
    background: blue;
}

Note that you can't have it both ways -- the child cannot both be 400px + 100px padding but also fill the parent which is 400px in size.

Q: Specify hostname of service container on CLI? With docker-compose, I can specify the hostname for a service container.
docker-compose.yml:
version: "3"
services:
  db:
    image: library/mysql:latest
  app:
    build: .
    hostname: my-hostname

Rather than define this in the compose file, can I pass it in as an option on the CLI, either during the docker-compose build or docker-compose up phase?

A: docker-compose supports environment variables. So you can pass it using that
version: "3"
services:
  db:
    image: library/mysql:latest
  app:
    build: .
    hostname: ${APP_HOSTNAME}

Then use
APP_HOSTNAME=myapp docker-compose up

or
export APP_HOSTNAME=myapp
docker-compose up

Edit-1
If you want to use default values in environment that is also possible

It is possible to provide inline default values using typical shell syntax:
${VARIABLE:-default} will evaluate to default if VARIABLE is unset or empty in the environment.
  ${VARIABLE-default} will evaluate to default only if VARIABLE is unset in the environment

So you can updated your docker-compose to below and it will work in all terminals
version: "3"
services:
  db:
    image: library/mysql:latest
  app:
    build: .
    hostname: ${APP_HOSTNAME:-myapp}

Home Web Content Building the Next-Generation Web Experience
Building the Next-Generation Web Experience
NEW YORK -- Corporations building the next generation of user experience will have four attributes, and companies will need five skills to meet the challenge, according to Moira Dorsey, Forrester Research vice president and research director, who spoke at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2009.
She said that the ideal Web experience of the future will be Customized, Aggregated, Relevant and Social (with the acronym "CARS" as a mnemonic). She pointed to several services that take advantage of social networking and aggregation to deliver customized and relevant data to users.
Many mobile applications fit the bill -- but certainly not all. One that does is the Wikitude travel guide that aggregates content from multiple sources, uses GPS to determine where the user is, and then tells the user about their location.
Another is an app called Shop Savvy for the Android and iPhone that lets users search for an item, find out which stores nearby have it, and either call the store and reserve it or put them item on a wish list for sharing or to receive price alerts.
Stop imitating paper and be the Web
These sites succeed by taking full advantage of the Internet. "New forms of technology start by imitating older forms and then evolve into their true forms," said Dorsey.
As an example, she pointed to the Benz Patent Motorwagen of 1886 which looks more like a carriage than a modern day car. Even the famous Ford Model T required a hand crank to start. "The Austin 7 RK Saloon of 1928 was a car that you or I could start." She meant that in the Austin 7, the controls were located where a modern driver would expect them to be.
The first Web page appeared in 1991. In 1992 it still looked like a piece of paper.
"We've been working on the Web for ten years," said Dorsey. "It took the car 50 years to find its true form. The online experience has yet to find its true form."
But indications of change are in the air. Dorsey pointed to the increasing adoption of mobile devices, to the development of new interfaces, and to the proliferation of new Web sites and content creators as forces that will drive change within corporate Web design.
Follow customers and don't expect them to come to you
"We need an online experience that can span devices, sites, and locations," she said. She added that there are five things that companies can do to get ready.
Ccompanies will need to conduct more in-depth research to find the devices and channels that people use. Companies will use this data to create multi-channel personas, prototypical customers that will influence how a company tries to reach customers.
Dorsey said that surveys are not enough. Companies will need to conduct virtual ethnographic research in order to find out what people are actually doing -- not just what they say they're doing.
She said that companies will need to "atomize content and functionality to send content to where the customers are" and pointed to a recent Avis ad in which customers could reserve a car from within the banner without going to the Avis Web site as one example of how to do it right.
She said that companies will be developing new things that are so complex that they will need to test the user experience before they deploy.
Finally, Dorsey said that companies will need "mad design skills." She said that designers will need to build projects that span sites, devices and applications and that the developer experience will be "like designing software."
In the question and answer session, she admitted that not every company will need to have the most advanced online program. "Find where you can offer the most value," she said. "Deliver an experience that enables you to get the most value. It has to be useful first, then enjoyable."
But there's no avoiding some complexity. "Once you move from within your own Web site to delivering an online experience, the training wheels come off," Dorsey warned.

In 1961 the State of Maryland enlarged the ditch to increase the water flow into Somers Cove Marina.

Predictive coding and technology‐assisted review (TAR) have sparked considerable discussion among ediscovery practitioners and lawyers around the world. These discussions have been taking place for years in the U.S., but the technology has just started to gain meaningful ground in the UK, and more recently in Australia. While adoption in Australia is quickly evolving, the industry continues to question and debate the extent to which predictive coding results can be defended and whether it is truly a reliable method for more effectively leveraging the effort of human reviewers in e‐discovery.
Machine‐learning technologies like predictive coding bring many benefits to the legal industry — particularly the ability to reduce datasets quickly, find important information early on and save considerable money on document review. With document sets growing exponentially, lawyers are struggling to navigate the data in an efficient and defensible manner. Predictive coding can automate many of the time‐intensive manual processes involved with keyword search, filtering and data sampling to prioritise likely responsive documents and can usually dramatically reduce the number of non‐responsive documents that need to be manually reviewed. But the technology is often considered to be a black box, lacking transparency into how results are obtained.
At the same time, many lawyers understand that the existing human processes are imperfect, and often result in inconsistent responsiveness coding. Predictive coding can provide equal or even improved precision when compared to manual methods or to keywords which have not gone through a sample‐based refinement process, and the technology can be relied upon for consistency in making the same call time after time, based on what has been learned from the set of human‐reviewed training documents. This ability to automate much of the document review process increases efficiency and can improve accuracy and quality control. The key is for lawyers to be careful about selecting tools that genuinely allow control over the processes and visibility into coding decisions.

First-ever South Texas Tease Burlesque Festival about to take over downtown San Antonio

"Sultry southern nights" are coming to San Antonio for the first time as the South Texas Burlesque Festival hosts three nights of female empowerment and body positivity.
Susie Hamilton, also known as Suki Jones, is organizing the debut event, which will take place in and around downtown from June 29 to July 1. Hamilton said she created the event with the help of her associate producer, who goes by the stage name Black Orchid, to celebrate women with a modernization of burlesque dance.
"Our basis has always been about empowering women and being body positive," Hamilton said. "This is not a competition, we're there to connect performers with each other and allow the audience to see different lifestyles and bodies and allow them to find someone to identify with."
She said her new festival contrasts others in that performers were not charged an application fee and they will be compensated.
The schedule starts on Friday with a free mixer where Hamilton says guests can get acquainted with each other. Saturday is set with two main events, a network luncheon discussing the "power" of friends, followed by a two-act burlesque show at Beethoven Hall. A self love workshop hosted by Love Shack Boutique finishes off the weekend with mimosas and seminars on Sunday.

All the businesses hosting the events are owned by women, Hamilton said.
Saturday evening will begin with a pin-up contest, followed by the 18-and-up burlesque show.
Stars and Garters, the 10-year-old burlesque group Hamilton is a member of, will join eight guest performers. She said there will be a group routine followed by solo performances starring woman-identifying dancers. Tickets for the event are either $17 or $25, depending on seating. Beer, wine, concessions and other vendors will also be available at the show, Hamilton said.
"We're focusing on a routine that embraces the glamour of both burlesque and womanhood," Hamilton said, adding that their mission is to encourage women to be proud of their bodies, regardless of flaws.
"I just want people to know that it's different from other events that are happening in the burlesque community because our intent is to get the audience connected with each other, we want to push the idea of bringing everyone up together and using the love of burlesque as something we all have in common," Hamilton said. "It's not about my desire to be naked in front of people, but to help others find their confidence and step out of their comfort zones."

Thanks to everyone who's taken some time lately to leave some comments! I've gotten some good ones lately that others will probably enjoy reading too. Especially a lengthy and very informative one from a person who worked at the actual Pentaject Corporation offices that the band named themselves after. He has some very funny, "first person" memories about the band! Visit my original posting of the Pentaject Corporation EP here.
The former singer of Scraps, Patrick Deane, also left a comment about a month ago on my posting of the Scraps single. Then some other people who were there "back in the day" left some comments too. I always enjoy hearing from people who were actually there back in 1981 going to see the band.
I know it's been over a month since I posted something (holidays got busy with work and family!) but I have some new ones planned that I will hopefully get up here over the next week. I could of course quickly throw up a lot of postings, since there are still a LOT of things I want to put up here, but I guess the high volume approach is not my style ya hear.
Oh, and of course thank you to the people who continue to help me mark things off of my updated want list.
nerd (which is of course a good thing); and John Nelles looks like he's about 15.
By request, here is a obscure and rare one from the Chicago area. Thanks to blog commenter C.S. for providing the rips! I do not have a vinyl copy of this record and not many people do, as it is rumored that only 200 copies were pressed and none had sleeves. The price reflects its rarity, as copies recently on the- ahem- "open market" have been priced between $200 and $400 (!).
I know nothing about the band and information on the internet is scant. The band has a MySpace page that was created in late 2007 (wonder what the impetus for that was), but they have not logged into it for almost 3 years the last time I checked. The MySpace page has some songs you can stream, and two of these were not on the EP. Somewhere else I stumbled upon the face that one of the band members also went by the name "Sid Hussein Hartha". Pentaject Corporation turned into a band called Scopdom Scop, which you can see on their MySpace page, was some experimental weirdness.
C.S. told me that Pentaject Corporation was apparently a cassette-only band (anyone have any of these?!?) and that this 4-song EP was supposed to be a "best of" from their cassettes. The band has been listed as being from Chicago, but I don't know if they were actually from the Chicago city limits or one of the many suburbs in the Chicagoland area, as was the case with bands from the area in the late 70's and early 80's time period.
It turns out that there actually WAS a real company in the late 70's called Pentaject Corporation that holds some manufacturing patents– ha! They were located in a ho-hum Chicagoland suburb called Algonquin that's about 40 miles Northwest of the city.
Musically, the EP is a DIY-ish affair and it has an "outsider" kind of quality to it which is nice. The first track, "Blackmail Stretch", the shortest track on the record, is a slower affair and has some keyboards and a drum machine interspersed in the mix. The next track, "Clamp Is Up", is played with real instruments and is an interesting one with some subtle guitar noise that is kinda hypnotic. The most upbeat track on the EP comes next with "What A Day" and is the closest thing to what we call "punk" (it's my favorite song on the EP too). There is some great shouting and a charming, no-talent guitar solo in the middle of it that begs for more practice- I always love guitar mastery like this. The last track, "Shock Treatment…", has some catchy bass noodling and is in the same vein as "What A Day". Nice ender. I have no clue what the singer is saying throughout most of the record and this adds to the charm and mysteriousness of it all. As does the production value.
If you know anything about the band, please leave a comment and let me know. I am curious to find out more, especially what (if any) connection they had to the Chicago area punk "scene". Or maybe they were kings of their own basement and never played many shows (?). You tell me.

'Public Charge' Proposed Rule Devastating to Immigrants & Families
Threatens to Imperil Public Health Initiatives
New York, New York 10/10/2018 — African Services Committee condemns in the strongest possible terms the administration's proposed revision to the "public charge" rule, and stands in solidarity with immigrant families and their allies across the country against any expansion of the "public charge" provisions.
When applying for permanent residency or "green card," U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) must determine whether an immigrant is likely to become a public charge. The administration is proposing to dramatically expand the types of public benefits which USCIS may consider in its determination regarding whether someone is likely to become a public charge and therefore ineligible for permanent residency.

A bully is often defined as "A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker." The damage of bullying is great, but I would argue that, more importantly, the very definition of the phenomenon is blocking organizations from solving this problem!

Taking wood splinters as the main design motive for the whole furniture collection, design studio Nendo has created the Splinter. This collection is alligned with the identity of Conde House for which it has been designed - known for the use of traditional techniques and wood furniture crafted at their mill in Japan on the northernmost island of Hokkaido.

Nendo has given the example how to find the purpose for a "flaw" of the wood, usually perceived as something that tends to affect its strength, durability, or utility value. Its remarkable how Nendo's clever design has turned this deficiency into an advantage.

In this way the top of the coat stand peels away to provide coat hooks, chairs' backrests divide to become armrests and legs and the side table's stand splinter to turn into three legs.

Larger pieces of wood were kept at their original thickness to provide strength where necessary. Thin pieces of wood that had splintered off were used for more delicate parts.

"We approached the wood gently, going with the grain so that the wood would retain its original pliancy." – explains Oki Sato, Nendo's chief designer.

Nendo's design evokes the minimalist tradition of Japanese design, and besides its remarkable craft this aesthetics is sort of a symbol for the new paradigm – not just in contemporary design – but everyday life that longs for more humble way of living, paying the attention to the details, sustainability and personalization.
Oki Sato - chief designer in Nendo design studio and one of its founders.
Nendo emerged as one of the most distinguished design studios of the last decade bringing Japanese design in the foreground. It has attracted the attention of the most significant European design brands in the furniture segment such as Capellini, Fritz Hansen, Moroso, Esatblished & Sons, etc.
— Conde House is noted for exceptional design and manufacturing quality as expressed in its line of contemporary furnishings for distinguished homes and contract market for 44 years.

This Tuesday Apple unveiled a new line of phones to much fanfare, but one feature immediately fell under scrutiny: FaceID, a tool that would use facial recognition to identify individuals and unlock their phones.
Jake Laperruque (@jakelaperruque) is senior counsel for privacy and security issues at The Constitution Project. He previously served as a fellow for New America's Open Technology Institute and The Center for Democracy and Technology.
Unsurprisingly, this raised major anxiety about consumer privacy: Consumers are already questioning whether FaceID could be spoofed. And it's also possible police would be able to more easily unlock phones without consent by simply holding an individual's phone up to his or her face.
But FaceID should create fear about another form of government surveillance: mass scans to identify individuals based on face profiles. Law enforcement is rapidly increasing use of facial recognition; one in two American adults are already enrolled in a law enforcement facial recognition network, and at least one in four police departments have the capacity to run face recognition searches. Still, until now, co-opting consumer platforms hasn't been an option. While Facebook has a powerful facial recognition system, it doesn't maintain the operating systems that control the cameras on phones, tablets, and laptops that stare at us every day. Apple's new system changes that. For the first time, a company will have a unified single facial recognition system built into the world's most popular devices—the hardware necessary to scan and identify faces throughout the world.
Over the last decade the government has increasingly embraced this type of mass scan method. Edward Snowden's disclosures revealed the existence of Upstream, a program under FISA Section 702 (set to expire in just a few months). With Upstream, the NSA scans all internet communications going into and out of the United States for surveillance targets' emails, as well as IP addresses and what the agency has called cybersignatures. And last year Reuters revealed that Yahoo, in compliance with a government order, built custom software to scan hundreds of millions of email accounts for content that contained a digital signature used by surveillance targets.
To many these mass scans are unconstitutional and unlawful, but that has not stopped the government from pursing them. Nor have those concerns prevented the secretive FISA Court from approving the government's requests, all too often with the public totally unaware that mass scans continue to sift through millions of Americans' private communications.
Until now text has been the focus of mass scan surveillance, but Apple and FaceID could change that. By generating millions of face prints while simultaneously controlling the cameras that can scan and identify them, Apple might soon face a government order to turn its new unlocking system into the killer app for mass surveillance.
What should Apple—and the rest of us—do to respond to this risk? First, Apple should take every step possible to insulate itself from an overly broad government order to conduct mass scans for faces. It's important Apple hold to its commitment that face prints developed through FaceID are stored only locally on devices, and be fully encrypted with a key that even Apple doesn't possess.
However, the unresolved fight between Apple and the FBI over encryption makes this an unreliable remedy. Similar to the government's desired method in that case, it might, in theory, order that Apple surreptitiously override its operating system, but this time in a manner that generates duplicates of its FaceID and routes them to the company and the government. Another concern: If iPhone users become accustomed to holding their phone up for face scans to unlock their phone, those consumers could be more vulnerable to other facial-recognition systems with fewer security and privacy protections.
Therefore, Apple should also update its Transparency Reports to include data on whether it receives orders to turn over facial recognition profiles, or to conduct facial recognition scans, leaving a so-called warrant canary to serve as an alarm bell if it receives a troubling order related to FaceID in the future.
Finally, and more broadly, the public should demand that Congress rein in government's ever-growing affinity for mass scan surveillance. Limiting or outlawing the controversial Upstream program when the authority it's based on expires this December would be an excellent start, but facial recognition scans may soon be as big a component of mass surveillance, and the public need to be ready.
1 Clarification appended 9/15/17, 2:30 pm EDT: This piece has been edited to clarify Apple's plan to store FaceID information locally and how a surveillance order might work.

Całe życie biedna – powieść obyczajowa Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego, napisana w wołyńskim okresie jego twórczości i wydana w 1840 roku. Treścią utworu są losy Anny, którą zubożali rodzice oddają na wychowanie do zamożnej ciotki, licząc na to, że bogata krewna zapewni jej przyzwoity posag.

Ta wczesna, pod wieloma względami jeszcze niedopracowana powieść Kraszewskiego, podejmuje dwa poważne problemy społeczne, które będą powracać wielokrotnie w dalszej twórczości pisarza: los kobiet pozbawianych przez porządek społeczny możliwości decydowania o swoim losie (problem później poruszony m.in. w Dzienniku Serafiny) i powszechną w całej warstwie szlacheckiej walkę o zapisy majątkowe i spadki (później m.in. w Milionie posagu i Interesach familijnych).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative Mourning explores death and its relics as they appear within the confines of the eighteenth-century British novel. It argues that the cultural disappearance of the dead/dying body and the introduction of consciousness as humanity's newfound soul found expression in fictional representations of the relic (object) or relict (person). In the six novels examined in this monograph—Samuel Richardson's Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison; Sarah Fielding's David Simple and Volume the Last; Henry Mackenzie's The Man of Feeling; and Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho—the appearance of the relic/relict signals narrative mourning and expresses (often obliquely) changing cultural attitudes toward the dead.

Re Authoring Life Narratives After Trauma A Holistic Narrative Model of Care
Author : Charles B. Manda
Publisher : AOSIS
Download or read book Re Authoring Life Narratives After Trauma A Holistic Narrative Model of Care written by Charles B. Manda and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-authoring Life Narratives after Trauma is an interdisciplinary, specialist resource for traumatic stress researchers, practitioners and frontline workers who focus their research and work on communities from diverse religious backgrounds that are confronted with trauma, death, illness and other existential crises. This book aims to argue that the biopsychosocial approach is limited in scope when it comes to reaching a holistic model of assessing and treating individuals and communities that are exposed to trauma. The holistic model must integrate an understanding of and respect for the many forms of religion and spirituality that clients might have (Pargament 2011). It will not only bring a spiritual perspective into the psychotherapeutic dialogue, but it will also assist in dealing with the different demands in pastoral ministry as related to clinical and post-traumatic settings. The book makes several contributions to scholarship in the disciplines of, although not limited to, traumatic stress studies, pastoral care and counselling, psychology and psychiatry. Firstly, the book brings spirituality into the psychotherapeutic dialogue; traditionally, religious and spiritual topics have not been a welcome part of the psychotherapeutic dialogue. Secondly, it underscores the significance of documenting literary narratives as a means of healing trauma; writing about our traumas enables us to express things that cannot be conveyed in words, and to bring to light what has been suppressed and imagine new possibilities of living meaningfully in a changed world. Thirdly, it proposes an extension to the five-stage model of trauma and recovery coined by Judith Herman.
Biblical Narrative and the Formation of Rabbinic Law
Author : Jane L. Kanarek
Rating : 4.1/5 (7 users)
Download or read book Biblical Narrative and the Formation of Rabbinic Law written by Jane L. Kanarek and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a new framework for understanding the relationship between biblical narrative and rabbinic law. Drawing on legal theory and models of rabbinic exegesis, Jane L. Kanarek argues for the centrality of biblical narrative in the formation of rabbinic law. Through close readings of selected Talmudic and midrashic texts, Kanarek demonstrates that rabbinic legal readings of narrative scripture are best understood through the framework of a referential exegetical web. She shows that law should be viewed as both prescriptive of normative behavior and as a meaning-making enterprise. By explicating the hermeneutical processes through which biblical narratives become resources for legal norms, this book transforms our understanding of the relationship of law and narrative as well as the ways in which scripture becomes a rabbinic document that conveys legal authority and meaning.
Bereavement Narratives
Author : Christine Valentine
Download or read book Bereavement Narratives written by Christine Valentine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bereavement is often treated as a psychological condition of the individual with both healthy and pathological forms. However, this empirically-grounded study argues that this is not always the best or only way to help the bereaved. In a radical departure, it emphasises normality and social and cultural diversity in grieving. Exploring the significance of the dying person's final moments for those who are left behind, this book sheds new light on the variety of ways in which bereaved people maintain their relationship with dead loved ones and how the dead retain a significant social presence in the lives of the living. It draws practical conclusions for professionals in relation to the complex and social nature of grief and the value placed on the right to grieve in one's own way – supporting and encouraging the bereaved person to articulate their own experience and find their own methods of coping. Based on new empirical research, Bereavement Narratives is an innovative and invaluable read for all students and researchers of death, dying and bereavement.

Narratives of Parental Death Dying and Bereavement
Author : Caroline Pearce
Download or read book Narratives of Parental Death Dying and Bereavement written by Caroline Pearce and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection shows what happens when facing the inevitable and sometimes expected death of a parent, and how such an ordinary part of life as parental death might connect with the children left behind. In many ways, individual deaths are extraordinary and leave a unique legacy – a kind of haunting. The authors' accounts seek to make sense of death through witnessing its enactment and recording its detail. All the authors are experienced researchers in the field of death studies, and their collective expertise encompasses ethnography, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The individual descriptions of death and grief capture the everyday practicalities of managing death and dying, including, for example, the difficulties of caring responsibilities and the realities of dealing with strained family relationships. These accounts show the raw detail of death; they are deeply personal observations framed within critical theories. As established scholars and practitioners that have researched and worked in end-of-life and bereavement care, the authors in this anthology offer a unique perspective on how identity is shaped by a close bereavement. The book employs a strong editorial narrative that blends memoir with theoretical engagement, and will be of interest to death studies scholars, as well as practitioners involved in end-of-life care and bereavement care and anyone who has experienced the death of a parent.
Narrative Matters in Medical Contexts across Disciplines

Publisher : John Benjamins Publishing Company
Download or read book Narrative Matters in Medical Contexts across Disciplines written by Franziska Gygax and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original chapters gives center stage to the concept of 'narrative' in medical contexts. The contributors come from the disciplines of literary and cultural studies, linguistics, psychology, and medicine and work with texts as diverse as autobiographies, graphic novels, Renaissance medical treatises and reports, short stories, reflective writing, creative writing, and online narratives. The interdisciplinary dialogue shows the richness and scope of the concept 'narrative' and demonstrates how crucial it is for practices in the medical context as well as in the contributing disciplines. The collection raises awareness of the great variety and multivocality of narratives on the experience of illness besides paying heed to the many different positions and angles from which these narratives can be perceived, read, and analyzed. The wide range of approaches assembled in this collection provides a comprehensive view on illness and health and on the multiple ways in which they are represented in narrative.

Download or read book Song and Story in Biblical Narrative written by Steven Weitzman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1997-10-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... a book which asks and answers a new, interesting question, using a rich range of biblical and humanistic methodologies." -- Journal of Biblical Literature This book examines a literary form within the Bible that has slipped through the cracks of modern scholarship: the mixing of song and story in biblical narrative. Journeying from ancient Egyptian battle accounts to Aramaic wisdom texts to early retellings of biblical tales in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish-Hellenistic literature, and rabbinic midrash, Steven Weitzman follows the history of this form from its origins as a congeries of different literary behaviors to its emergence as a self-conscious literary convention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the different use of lyric and narrative in Horace's Odes. On the formal level, numerous odes contain narration. Together they tell a larger story about the aesthetic and political demands on the poet's development as a lyrist. At issue is whether Horace can ever truly become a poet of praise.
Women and the Material Culture of Death
Author : BethFowkes Tobin
Download or read book Women and the Material Culture of Death written by BethFowkes Tobin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the compelling and often poignant connection between women and the material culture of death, this collection focuses on the objects women make, the images they keep, the practices they use or are responsible for, and the places they inhabit and construct through ritual and custom. Women?s material practices, ranging from wearing mourning jewelry to dressing the dead, stitching memorial samplers to constructing skull boxes, collecting funeral programs to collecting and studying diseased hearts, making and collecting taxidermies, and making sculptures honoring the death, are explored in this collection as well as women?s affective responses and sentimental labor that mark their expected and unexpected participation in the social practices surrounding death and the dead. The largely invisible work involved in commemorating and constructing narratives and memorials about the dead-from family members and friends to national figures-calls attention to the role women as memory keepers for families, local communities, and the nation. Women have tended to work collaboratively, making, collecting, and sharing objects that conveyed sentiments about the deceased, whether human or animal, as well as the identity of mourners. Death is about loss, and many of the mourning practices that women have traditionally and are currently engaged in are about dealing with private grief and public loss as well as working to mitigate the more general anxiety that death engenders about the impermanence of life.
The Claims of Memory
Author : Caroline Alice Wiedmer
Publisher : Cornell University Press
Download or read book The Claims of Memory written by Caroline Alice Wiedmer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a half a century after World War II, Germany and France still struggle to understand the Holocaust and to confront their roles in the tragedy. Through an interpretation of a wide array of contemporary cultural texts--including memorials and memorial sites, museums and exhibits, national commemorations, books, and films--Caroline Wiedmer traces the evolution of an often conflicted postwar politics of memory in these two nations. Her analyses of sites of memory and of policies and national debates reveal the two countries' deep-seated ambivalence in the face of a desire to forget the horrors of the Holocaust and the need to remember them. Among the issues Wiedmer examines are France's emerging sense of accountability and the fierce conflicts generated by the "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe" to be built in Berlin. In her detailed account of how the Nazis took over a ready-made system of internment camps built by the French before World War II, and in her discussion of the uses to which the Sachsenhausen concentration camp was put by both the Soviet and the East German governments after the war, Wiedmer uncovers disturbing patterns of recurrence that painfully complicate France's and Germany's relationships to the Holocaust itself and to the act of commemoration. The author also examines Art Spiegelman's Maus and Michael Verhoeven's film The Nasty Girl.

I am following James Lynch's tutorial (Rev C) for getting up and running, but I am using the Olimex LPC-E2294 board. I am using the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG.
I have successfully installed the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD drivers, OpenOCD 0.2, YAGARTO toolchain and Eclipse.
The next step in the tutorial is running OpenOCD inside Eclipse. I have created a board configuration file for the LPC-2294 board in the OpenOCD /board directory that simply points to the LPC-2294 target. I further use the "olimex-arm-usb-ocd.cfg" file.
When I press 'Run' in Eclipse the configuration files for both board and interface are processed ok, but then I get the error message "unable to open ftdi device : device not found".
The board is powered up and tests successfully and the JTAG is connected and green LED is on.
on 4444 and then eclipse will connect to it.

Q&A with Omar El Akkad
abbyfennewald	Author Interviews, Uncategorized	 May 5, 2017 May 4, 2017
This Q&A with Omar El Akkad, author of American War, was done by his publisher and is re-posted here with their permission. Our review of the book can be found here.
Q: When did you begin working on American War, and was there a particular event you would say was the genesis of the novel?
A: I started working on the novel in the summer of 2014 and finished the first draft almost exactly a year later. Insofar as there exists a genesis moment, it came a few years earlier. I was listening to an interview with a national security expert conducted during the height of the NATO-led invasion of Afghanistan. At one point, referencing a recent wave of local protests against the U.S. military presence there, the interviewer asked something to the effect of "Why do they hate us so much?" The expert replied by mentioning that sometimes U.S. soldiers have to conduct raids in Afghan villages, and that during these raids they often turn the villagers' houses inside out and hold the residents at gunpoint. In Afghan culture, the expert helpfully explained, this sort of thing is considered offensive. I remember thinking, Name me one culture on earth that wouldn't consider this sort of thing offensive. Name one. It was that train of thought that led me to consider what it would be like if all these wars that the West has had the luxury of observing from a great distance were instead to take place at home. I wanted to view this war not through some disinterested lens, but rather through the eyes of someone on whose land the fighting rages, someone who can't escape or dismiss it. At its heart, American War is a story about the life and death of a single character: Sarat Chestnut, a child of southern Louisiana, born and raised amidst the violence of a second civil war. It's a story about her capacity for love, suffering, and, ultimately, vengeance. And I think that, even across the vastest chasms of culture or geography, the things that drive us to love, suffering, and vengeance are always the same.
Q: How did you arrive at 2074 as the year your fictional Second American Civil War breaks out?
A: I needed time for the fictional world in which the novel takes place to take shape. The global events that define this world—chiefly, the creation of a democratic pan-Arab empire, and the catastrophic amount of land loss caused by climate change—are not particularly plausible in the next decade or two. Of course, the kind of sea-level rise I envision in this book greatly exceeds even the most alarming climate scientists' projections of what the world will look like toward the end of this century (for now, anyway; who knows how those projections will change in the coming years). But to correct for that by setting this book hundreds of years from now would in my mind be an abdication of sorts; I never meant this to be a novel about the future.
Q: There are clearly many factors leading to the events of the book, but the war really breaks out over a battle for sustainable energy. You have reported extensively on the fossil fuel industry. How did you settle on this as the defining rift of North vs. South?
A: It seemed necessary that the war's precipitating event be some injustice or looming calamity that, long after it requires any courage to do so, members of future generations will boldly declare they would have opposed. The obvious analogy in this regard is the central cause of America's first civil war. It is all well and good today for someone who would not have felt the monstrous effects of slavery firsthand to argue that he would have stood publicly against it. But, in truth, it is incredibly difficult and requires immense courage to call for the abolition of anything that drives a vast and lucrative economic engine (which, in the plantation-era South, is exactly what slavery was). Very few acts in human history rival slavery in terms of sheer human cruelty, and as such, that wasn't my criterion when I went searching for an analogy. But as something many people are happy to benefit from today, but will surely oppose once it becomes safe and acceptable to do so tomorrow, fossil fuel use seemed apt.
Q: Your work as a journalist has also taken you to the wars in Afghanistan, to Guantánamo Bay, to Egypt during the Arab Spring; to Ferguson, Missouri. How does your experience covering war and also covering deep racial tensions inform this novel?
A: Like all novelists, I'm an unrepentant plagiarist. There are all kinds of details in the book I stole and repurposed from things I saw and heard while I was on assignment. The style and layout of the tents in Camp Patience is based on an encampment in Guantánamo Bay called Camp Justice, and on the layout of the NATO airfield in Kandahar (the latter is also home to Emerald Creek, a reeking wastewater ditch that makes an appearance in the novel). Other influences were less direct: watching tear gas and armed soldiers on the streets of Ferguson, not long after seeing the same images in Cairo, cemented something in my mind about the symmetry of injustice—the extent to which the success of entire social systems is often predicated on certain people's stories being kept silent.
Q: What is the most difficult thing you have covered?
A: A few years ago, my newspaper sent me to cover a technology conference in Las Vegas. The conference was one of those self-congratulatory industry events where nothing newsworthy ever happens, so I decided to look for something else to write about. I learned there exists, beneath the Vegas Strip, an invisible city—thousands of human beings with nowhere else to live who set up small makeshift homes in the storm drains and sewers. I went into this city, and there I met Richard and Cynthia, a married couple who on that day were busy rebuilding their entire lives—every now and then the floodwaters or the cops come through and sweep all their belongings away. They were kind people, and deeply in love. They'd done nothing wrong, they'd hurt no one; it seemed so plainly unfair that they or anyone else should have to live this way. I've covered wars and uprisings and environmental disasters, but for reasons I know are probably inadequate, I still get the most upset when I think about Richard and Cynthia.
Q: After working in journalism for so many years, why fiction?
A: Fiction has always been the world in which I feel least alien. I was in second or third grade when I discovered I had some talent for writing stories—or, more accurately, that I had absolutely no talent for anything else. My father was an avid reader and a kind of walking encyclopedia of Egyptian literature. In the Arabian Gulf, where I grew up, you couldn't get your hands on any piece of culture—books, music, movies, anything—before the government censored it. I think I still have lying around somewhere my copy of Nirvana's Nevermind, with the naked baby on the album cover entirely blacked out by some anonymous bureaucrat's permanent marker. (A couple years later, In Utero came out and, sure enough, the censors blacked out the illustrated angel on that cover as well.) I don't think my school library contained a single book that even mentioned Israel. When you grow up in that kind of environment, you soon start to suspect that all stories, beyond the joy or catharsis they inherently provide, also function as a cipher of sorts. Everything you need to know about a society you can glean from how that society tells its stories, whose stories it chooses to tell, and whose stories it chooses to silence.
But I never thought I could make a career of writing. In college, I spent most of my time working at the school newspaper, and after I graduated I landed a summer internship at a newspaper in Toronto, which eventually turned into a full-time job. I worked at the newspaper during the day and wrote fiction between midnight and five in the morning. I stuck to that routine for the better part of ten years and four novels. The first three were mediocre, but worse than that, they felt unnecessary; they had no teeth, so I never tried to get them published. American War felt necessary.
Q: How did you begin to go about imagining what the world would look like in 2074 and beyond? Was there any research you did to inform certain aspects of your imagined landscape?
A: My journalism assignments took me to many parts of the country that ended up in the book. One of the most memorable features I ever worked on was a piece about land loss in southern Louisiana—the equivalent of a football field of land melts into the water every hour or so, the result of climate change and industrial mismanagement all along the southernmost end of the Mississippi shipping route. I wrote a similar story in southern Florida, where some small-town mayors are trying to explain to their constituents that, thanks to climate change, the places they call home may not be fit for human habitation in a few decades' time. I tried to imagine what the resulting inland migrations would look like. Much of the military landscape also comes from things I learned while on assignment—the layout of forward operating bases, the way an insurgency fights and the way to fight an insurgency. And then there was some incredibly esoteric research, side roads that popped up serendipitously and which I explored for days at a time—reports of burgeoning lionfish infestations near the Florida coast, the painkilling properties of spider venom, the influence of Sir Walter Scott's writing in the civil war–era South, that sort of thing. By the end it felt like I'd spent a year studying at the world's most disjointed university.
Q: Can you describe the Bouazizi Empire of your novel and how it came into formation?
It came into formation much the same way that the United States came into formation: an array of different cultures and peoples, once under the somewhat absentee rule of French, British, and other assorted colonizers, realigned into a single democratic union. I envisioned a future in which revolutionary protests, after much bloodshed, finally succeed in bringing about a functioning democracy, and ultimately an imperial power. It's a wildly optimistic vision, given the dismal state of the modern Middle East, but I suppose audacious optimism in the face of obvious fracture and strife is another thing the Bouazizi has in common with the United States.
Q: I have to ask the question: Do you think the events of your novel are plausible?
In literal terms, no. I think the reference points and lines of trajectory I use are not particularly opaque, but virtually everything in this book is filtered through a deliberately grotesque lens. In analogous terms, however, much of what's in this book has already happened. If readers see something of the Arab–Israeli conflicts, or the wars in Iraq, or the invasions of Afghanistan, or even the Northern Irish Troubles, it is because I have stolen elements of these wars and dressed them in different clothes. There's this cliché that all wars are the same. I don't think all wars are the same, but I do think the language of suffering is universal.
Q: You write, "You fight the war with guns, you fight the peace with stories." Can you explain?
A: A couple of years ago, I was on my way from Florida to Kennesaw, Georgia, to write a story about a (purely symbolic, totally unenforceable) law that demanded every household in that town own a gun. A few miles north of the state border, I saw this billboard. And all it said, in big capital letters, was "SECEDE." It still amazes me how that one word carries within it an entire ideology. Anyone who knows anything about this country could look up at that sign and know exactly how its authors view the world. It got me thinking about the stories that so often precipitate bloodshed, and how they almost always outlive that bloodshed. Wars end and the incitements that caused them are sometimes diminished or discredited, but never completely refuted. The stories survive and are retold, louder and louder as time goes by and the destruction they once fueled is forgotten. Until one day they're not being whispered anymore, they're being shouted, and the whole ugly cycle starts again.
Q: American War takes on many of the scarier truths of our time—the destruction of our environment, the escalation of technological warfare, the hatred of some Americans by other Americans—yet ultimately it is the story of a family and of one young woman in particular—Sarat Chestnut. What was your inspiration for this remarkable character?
A: She's the only one who came to me fully formed. Every other character I reworked over and over again, but the little girl at the start of this novel is almost entirely unchanged from the moment when I first saw her. Her central trait, to me, is a defiant curiosity; so much of her life is marked by a rebellion against unknowing. That, I think, is the tragedy of Sarat's story: how her endless curiosity is turned against her, both by those who would take advantage of her for their own purposes and by the cruelty of the world she is forced to inhabit. I never wanted to write a safe, unambiguous story with unimpeachable heroes and irredeemable villains and a big dividing line between them. Sarat's world is not nearly so clean. There's a kind of self-indulgent insanity authors sometimes afford themselves, where they imagine their characters as existing beyond the confines of the fictional. I think about Sarat that way all the time. The novel is done and out of my hands, but Sarat won't leave me.
Q: One of your characters thinks to herself, "The misery of war represented the world's only truly universal language. Its native speakers occupied different ends of the world, and the prayers they recited were not the same and the empty superstitions to which they clung so dearly were not the same—and yet they were. War broke them the same way, made them scared and angry and vengeful the same way. In times of peace and good fortune they were nothing alike but stripped of these things they were kin. The universal slogan of war . . . was simple: If it had been you, you'd have done no different." Do you agree?
A: I do. That passage is the closest thing to a thesis statement in the book. I think it's comforting to reduce radicalization to the accoutrements of the radicalized: the clothes they wear, the languages they speak, the holy books they wave around. And this makes it easy to believe these people are fundamentally foreign, possessed by a disease to which the rest of us are innately immune. But none of that is true. Some people have an immense tolerance for suffering, and can maintain a measure of goodness in the face of great injustice and calamity; others turn vicious at the slightest provocation. But anyone, subjected to enough violence, eventually becomes both damaged and damaging. I've never thought of American War as a novel that's primarily about America or about war; I think it's a novel about the universal nature of revenge.
Q: One of your characters says, "We have a habit in this country of deciding the wisdom of our wars only after we're done fighting them . . ." One could certainly read this novel as a searing indictment of America's wars in the Middle East, but is that your intention?
A: When I wrote that line, I was thinking about the requisite cheerleading that tends to accompany the start of so many conflicts but is often wholly absent from the end. I'm not an absolute pacifist, but I do agree with the notion that it's appropriate to think of violence—especially state violence—as always and inherently unjust, and so only warranted when used to prevent a greater injustice. But that sort of thinking requires some measure of moral labor. It's much more simple and liberating to think of violence as an absolute good in the face of absolute evil—once you convince yourself that you're at war with monsters, it becomes acceptable to do monstrous things.
I don't think this kind of preemptive cheerleading of conflict is a uniquely American phenomenon, but some of the most glaring examples in this century have involved American military action in the Middle East. I can tell you exactly where I was when the United States invaded Iraq in 2003; I still remember the breathless media coverage and that "Mission Accomplished" banner. But I can't tell you very much about the day the last U.S. soldiers officially left eight years later, except that I don't recall any of the same triumphalism.
Q: What are some of the books that have been the most important to you? And what's next for you?
Everything Faulkner wrote, but especially The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying; Beloved and Song of Solomon by Morrison, who I think is the greatest writer alive; the Cairo Trilogy by Mahfouz (when my father was very young, he and a few other kids from the Cairo neighborhood of El Hossain used to sneak into an old café where Mahfouz held court; my father would listen to Mahfouz talk shop with Egypt's leading poets and artists, until the café owner inevitably discovered him and the other children and kicked them out); The Good Earth by Buck; Go Tell It on the Mountain by Baldwin (his 1976 review of Haley's Roots is one of the most beautiful book reviews I've ever read, particularly the closing lines); Love in the Time of Cholera by Garcia Márquez; A Death in the Family by Agee, which is perhaps the most emotionally surgical book I've ever read; Coming Through Slaughter by Ondaatje; Benito Cereno by Melville; and Dispatches by Herr, which made me want to become a journalist.
As for what's next, I'm working on another story: a repurposed fable of sorts. I know what I want it to be about, but I have no idea what it's going to be about.

Obama further noted that Bush racked up more foreign-held debt in his first 5 years – over $1 trillion – than all other presidents combined. Well, Obama accumulated roughly $2.5 trillion in foreign-held debt over 5 years – from $3.071 trillion to $5.59 trillion. As for the gross debt, it took from the presidency of George Washington until 2002 to accumulate $6.1 trillion in debt. It's important to note that roughly 92%, or $5.6 trillion, of that $6.1 trillion increase is comprised of the public debt, not the so-called intra-governmental debt from Social Security (the money we 'owe ourselves'). It took from 1789 until September 2008 for us to accumulate $5.6 trillion in public debt.
President Obama should be ashamed of his hypocrisy.

The great watershed of modern poetry is French, more than English.
The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.
The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.
The Black Mountain poet I like most is the early Creeley. Those early poems seem very lyrical and very traditional, with a lot of voice and character.
The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They're very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged.
Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry.
Southern poets are still writing narrative poems, poems in forms, dramatic poems.
Some people want to call me an Appalachian writer, even though I know some people use regional labels to belittle.
Some people swear by writing courses, but whether it really helps American poetry, I have doubts.
Pound's translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later.
Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form.
Part of what we love about poetry is the fact that it seems ancient, that it has an authority of ancient language and ancient form, and that it's timeless, that it reaches back.
Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques.
