Don't stop the music
By Janice Fralin-Steele
Music has always been and always will be around. Many faces of music have changed but then so have the sounds. Music as we've known it has changed tremendously. The music that is created today is a far cry from what most of us have grown up with. It's hard for this younger generation to imagine a time before CD's and MP3 players. There was a time when music was pure unadulterated which came from raw talented individuals.
Little boys and girls dreamed of being musicians and singers. For generations this country has produced many of the world's greatest musical minds. People such as Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Louie Armstrong, Miles Davis, B.B. King, Prince and a host of other great musicians, of which the list is to long to share. They all had one thing in common they all freely shared their love of music through the playing of musical instruments. Their blood sweat and tears could be felt in their music.
There is a respect that is given to someone who can share his or her love of music through a musical instrument. Today's musicians are becoming a dying bread. Our children today are replacing instruments with many other things. The few that pursue music are becoming rappers. It is harder to find children today that want to take up the idea of being a musician. Many of our school systems in this country have cut out music being taught in school.
In some parts of the country music departments are a thing of the past. Even those schools that teach music have families that don't have the money to buy instruments let alone rent them. Between the influence of rap on our children and the lack of qualified music teachers the face of music has changed forever.
Our countries present circumstance has helped to influence many lives. When we look around at the music industry we are seeing fewer of our young black males and females as musicians and more as rappers. The idea of easy fast money and being rich has caused our youth to turn to rap. Many have decided that the cost is more than they are willing to pay.
What they don't know is that anything worthwhile takes hard work and determination. Most of them are not interested in it for the love of rap as a form of expression but they are caught up in the excitement they think rapping brings. Don't get me wrong there is a place for rap in music and there are many poets in the rap game to whom I give much respect to like some of the pioneers of rap.
Our youth of today must also understand that every young person can't rap! And that rapping can't take the place of musicians. This generation has this idea that everything has to happen for them right now. Too many of them are chasing instant fame and gratification. Many don't peruse being musicians because they know it will take hard work.
Learning a musical instrument has a way of making you use a part of your brain you might otherwise not use. Intern this new way of learning ability carries over into other areas of your life, which increase your intellect. There is something magical about listening to a musician playing a musical piece. Our African American heritage as musicians came from street corner musicians, church choir members and individuals who had a message to share.
The concern here is that many of our future Miles Davis' and Aretha Franklin's will never be. It is a must that our Black communities across the country encourage those young musicians to share with the world the music in their heart. We must not allow the talented creative minds to give up. We must help them to never loose site of the big picture. That musical gifts are put in their life by God, and his intention is for them to share that talent with the world.

LBS Dean, Enase Okonedo receives Accelerator Award
Lagos Business School Dean, Professor Enase Okonedo has been named a recipient of the Junior Achievement Nigeria Accelerator Award for her outstanding contributions to the non-profit organisation.
The Junior Achievement Nigeria is part of the world's largest network of organisations dedicated to empowering students on financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship through experiential, hands-on programmes.
Presented at JAN's 20th-anniversary event held in Lagos, the Accelerator Award seeks to recognise individuals who through their organisations, have been actively and positively involved in the affairs of the NGO and has supported in the achievement of its goals. Lagos Business School has partnered with JAN since 2001 to host its annual Venture in Management Program (ViMP).
Through the ViMP, both organisations prepare youth corps members for the business world as managers and entrepreneurs by exposing them to the responsibilities, opportunities and demands of a career in management. Typically described as a 'mini-MBA', the ViMP engages participants in classroom sessions, case study discussions, study groups and panel sessions led by members of the LBS faculty.
Describing the partnership with LBS as "constantly evolving and symbiotic", Executive Director, JAN, Simi Nwogugu said, "The ViMP is purposed to get the students to have a feel of a business school and to learn like managers and executives. LBS provides the environment needed to achieve our goal."
Other recipients of the JAN Accelerator Award include CEO, FATE Foundation, Adenike Adeyemi; Managing Director, The Education Partnership Centre, Modupe Adefeso-Olateju; CEO, Bestman Games, Nimi Akinkugbe CEO, ACT Foundation, Osayi Alile, among others.
LBS is in partnership with organisations, multinationals, and institutions whose objectives align with its mission of changing the face of business locally and globally, by developing business professionals with high standards of business ethics and professionalism.


The world is getting digitalized and so are our lives becoming more governed by binaries of 0's and 1's.In this age it was natural to get the idea to make our payments also go in 0's and 1's.Vijay shekhar sharma, founder and CEO of PayTM and One97Communications executed this idea of payment in an existing business model, but introduction of small creative elements made the difference along the way. The business model clearly depicts that Payment along with Marketing creates a marketplace of digital goods. Many other players already had a pilot phase for the idea but the most salient thing here comes to the reliability of the payments which is ensured from time to time by Paytm.
There are various angles to look at this startup which keeps the idea of "Mobile" first. Keep your wallets on mobile was the ice-breaker service from Paytm.When the recharge goes down, your money is with you deposited in your wallet. This idea itself gives the seal of trust that it ensures with your money. www.PayTM.com has got almost all Operators across all circles in India. One can get a top-up or a validity recharge using variety of payment options like Net banking, Credit card, Debit card, Done Card etc. and it is done at a fast pace with very high success rates. If something goes wrong then they have a 24X7 customer care. There is also an option given to refund our money back to our preferred bank account. The crucial business here is establishing the trust with the customers that their money is safe and customers prefers to be intimated when something goes wrong which automatically builds the sense of care for their money and even people like someone taking responsibility for their money.
There are 650 million-mobile phone subscribers and 280 million people with individual bank accounts. These numbers are enough to think how automating your payments for mobile phones, dongles and recharge based services will monetize your profitability. PayTM gradually tipped the scales in favour of bus ticketing and releasing coupon based advertisements. This simulates the notion of two targets with one dart business. The business cash in from coupon advertisements and also for providing the services for transactions. E-wallets will have lesser use of money cases instead of debiting from ATM's and this behavior of consumer helps them to keep their money in wallets. Banks will have longer understanding with e-commerce websites and govt regulations on number of times of chargeless withdrawal from ATM's will drive this business ahead. Paytm has started selling things online and has clubbed the segment of shopping along with the recharge services.

6 questions for Southwest Airlines' CCO Linda Rutherford on outage crisis
Rutherford breaks down the airliner's ongoing comms efforts to normalize business operations and repair its relationship with its customers.
by Sean Czarnecki / July 22, 2016
Linda Rutherford
Southwest Airlines' Q2 earnings report this week coincided with a technology outage affecting hundreds of customers, and the launch of an online platform.
On Wednesday, the airline both launched its blog, Southwest Community, and dealt with a technology outage that knocked out its system and website. That day, up to 700 flights were canceled or delayed. The following day, more than 800 flights were cancelled, while the airliner dashed to recover its operation and match aircraft to available crews, Southwest's VP and CCO Linda Rutherford said.
The communications division is engaging customers across multiple channels, including Southwest Community, Facebook Live, and media outlets. Of the 104 people in Rutherford's communications and outreach team, two-thirds have been engaged in the response and support efforts.
Rutherford sat down with PRWeek to talk about how her comms team is guiding the company through a turbulent week.
What's the next step?
We've had a bit of a ragged start today. We found we had mismatches. In other words, we might have an airplane in one city, but our crew had timed out the day before and they didn't get proper rest to fly. We have had some issues today we're continuing to work through.
When we have our operations up, now that the system is restored, we might be able to do a post-mortem, see if there are any lessons to be learned or if there are things we liked, so we can dynamically update our crisis response plan.
For instance, one thing we used as a tool that we hadn't used previously was Facebook Live. We had a high level of social engagement with customers to educate them. If they tried calling or emailing us, trying to figure out what's going on, it was at least a means of explaining the challenges we were facing. We had an initial message last night, which I did, and more of an explanatory type session with our COO this morning.
Here is an update on technology recovery, with Southwest's Chief Operating Officer, Mike Van de Ven.https://t.co/H9Jsa9hEV1
— Southwest Airlines (@SouthwestAir) July 21, 2016
Do you have any idea what caused this outage?
Not yet. We have to get with our technology partners and better understand how things work. We need to understand what happened before we start articulating that.
Are you going to offer any compensation for your customers?
We had a fare sale that was supposed to end today, but we've extended it by a week, just because we knew there would be access issues in trying to book travel. There's also a massive effort underway to reach every customer individually impacted by a cancellation or delay today. Our CEO has written a note to these customers and the outreach includes gestures of goodwill such as a dollar value voucher and/or a code for 50 percent off a future booking. Every situation is different, so we are tailoring the communication.
When did you learn there was a problem and what was the first step you took?
Yesterday a little after 1 pm CT, we began getting a notice that various systems and applications were not working as they should. We have an escalation process if we have a potential problem.
We can convene on a conference call, we can also assemble in our headquarters' emergency command center, which we did end up doing, and we can get all the right parties in our operation involved and engaged in what might be going on and what its impact might be on our operations, employees, and customers.
We were able to utilize some systems yesterday -- email was the first one to start working to get news out to our employees. As our systems came back, such as our intranet, we were able to get news out to keep our employees in the loop.
Your CEO went on CNBC seemingly to talk about Q2 earning yesterday. In the same interview, he took the time to address the crisis. How did that come about?
That was all previously scheduled for earnings day. Last night, once we had more of an understanding of what happened and what it was going to take to restore the system, we were able to tee up some talking points and information for him to use with the media. It was a bit of a perfect storm from a media relations perspective. Our CEO did a fantastic job. We really pride ourselves on the level of customer service we offer — it's part of our distinctive brand— and we didn't do that. First and foremost, we wanted our customers to understand we're sorry. This isn't the way we do business. And we have to make things right.
What are the aims of Southwest Community? What value did it present in communicating with your customers during this crisis?
It was [already] part of our social business strategy to deliver an online customer community. We knew, based on the other online conversations taking place on forums like FlyerTalk.com, that a community would be a welcome place for our customers to get and give information. At the same time, we were looking for a new platform to evolve our corporate blog.
The community allowed us one other place to be able to provide information, because it was not linked to the website, so it wasn't affected by the technology outages. [It was] clearly not a sunshine, chamber of commerce way to start your platform, but we got a good sense of potential for demand, the potential for audience, and what interaction could look like in an operationally stressful time. The long-term goal is to see how we can offer more self-serve options and create that community engagement. And we think down the road, as it grows, [it could help a customer] avoid having to pick up a phone to call us, or search our website, or shoot us an email.

But there are things you can do to ensure your are setting yourself up for success!
Mock interviews, dressing appropriately & respecting the time of the interviewer will get you in the office and comfortable so you can keep your mind on the important issues.
Mock interviews are essential. To prepare use any number of our techniques. Engage in a mock interview with a friend or colleague, interview yourself with a list of questions and a tape recorder, or even watch other mock interviews on online.
Learn the time length of the interview and mock interview for that length.
Find out the name's of your interviewers and practice them.
Search for you interviewers on Linkedin.com before to find common interests.
Dressing for the interview is also essential. Not thinking about what you're wearing is the best way to interview. It's obviously important what you wear but it should never distract you in the interview. Any distraction can make you feel uncomfortable and may hinder you from being the best representation of yourself.
Make sure you won't be too warm or too cold. Sweating or shivering, you won't be comfortable.
Be simple with style. Darker & neutral colors with simple patterns. Make it a non-issue for you.
Wear light perfume or cologne but definitely don't skip it. It can help get you mentally prepared.
Right before the interview it's important to be ready. Taking care of last second prep isn't just remembering answers to all the questions. It's about being human too. So right before you go to the interview think about your basic needs and what you need to do to be comfortable in the interview.
Eat a small snack and hour before the interview. If it's a long interview (4 hours +) eat 2 hours before.
(On your way to the interview chew gum to freshen your breath) Spit it out before you start the interview.

In a new article from the International Business Times says the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has spent 8 months reviewing a proposal to strengthen rules on beryllium exposure, overshooting its deadline by more than 5 months. It is the latest delay in regulations that have been more than 13 years in the making.
As many as 134,000 workers in the U.S. are currently exposed to beryllium – mostly in the aerospace, ceramics, construction and electronics industries, according to research by NIOSH. When the metal is ground into dust and inhaled, it can cause chronic beryllium disease, a potentially fatal lung disorder. Some people are more sensitive to beryllium than others. As it stands, OSHA's existing beryllium exposure limit of 2.0 micrograms per cubic meter dates from research conducted in the 1940s.
Keith Wrightson, a workplace-safety expert at Public Citizen, a consumer-advocacy group pushing for an updated regulation, says his group wants the exposure limit lowered to 0.1 micrograms per cubic meter. Since the 1970s, NIOSH has backed a limit of 0.5 micrograms per cubic meter.
Once OMB finishes its review, OSHA has to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking and solicit public comments before issuing a final rule, which could take another year. The delay stems from the agency's compliance with the Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Act, applicable only to OSHA, EPA and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – which requires that the agencies undergo a special consultation process with business representatives before issuing new rules.

Q: How to integrate $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{(2+\cos(x))(3+\cos(x))}$ The integral is
$$\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{(2+\cos(x))(3+\cos(x))}$$
I did try Tangent half-angle substitution but only got:
$$2\int^{2\pi}_0 \frac{dt}{9t^2-t^4-12}$$
which does not seem to be easier... am I wrong on the way? Or is there easier way?

A: Hint...You could split it first by writing $$\frac{1}{(2+c)(3+c)}=\frac{1}{2+c}-\frac{1}{3+c}$$ then use the $t=\tan\frac x2$ substitution
Note that you can use symmetry to change the integral from $\int_0^{2\pi}$ to $2\times \int_0^{\pi}$

A: I'm not sure how you arrived at:

I did try Tangent half-angle substitution but only got:
$$2\int^{2\pi}_0 \frac{dt}{9t^2-t^4-12}$$

With $t = \tan\left( \tfrac{x}{2} \right)$, you have $\cos x = \tfrac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}$ and $\tfrac{dx}{dt} = \tfrac{2}{1+t^2}$; so:
$$\int \frac{\mbox{d}x}{(2+ \cos x)(3+ \cos x)} \to \int \frac{1}{\left(2+ \tfrac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}\right)\left(3+ \tfrac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}\right)}\frac{2 \, }{1+t^2}\mbox{d}t$$
Now simplifying and splitting (partial fractions):
$$\int \frac{1+t^2}{\left(2+ t^2\right)\left(3+ t^2\right)}\,\mbox{d}t
 = \int \frac{2}{3+ t^2}\,\mbox{d}t-\int \frac{1}{2+ t^2}\,\mbox{d}t$$

A: You can see that $\cos (2\pi - x) = \cos x$ and hence the integral from $0$ to $2\pi$ is twice the integral from $0$ to $\pi$. Thus we have
\begin{align}
I &= 2\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{dx}{(2 + \cos x)(3 + \cos x)}\notag\\
&= 2\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{dx}{2 + \cos x} - 2\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{dx}{3 + \cos x}\notag\\
&= 2\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{4 - 1}} - 2\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{9 - 1}}\notag\\
&= 2\pi\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\right)\notag
\end{align}
The integral $$\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{dx}{a + b\cos x}$$ for $a > |b|$ is calculated using the substitution $$(a + b\cos x)(a - b\cos y) = a^{2} - b^{2}$$ and it easily evaluates to $\pi/\sqrt{a^{2} - b^{2}}$.

A: I will propose an approach that uses complex analysis. The idea is to write $\cos x= (e^{ix} + e^{-ix})/2$ and then to rewrite the integral in such a way that a parametrised contour integral appears. Then a routine application of the Residue Theorem will yield the desired result.
As stated, write:
$$I=\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{(2+\mathrm{cos}(x))(3+\mathrm{cos}(x))}=\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{\left(2 + \frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}\right)\left(3 + \frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}\right)}\\ =4\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{(4 + e^{ix} + e^{-ix})(6 + e^{ix} + e^{-ix})}\\ =4\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{(e^{ix})^2}{\left(1 + 4e^{ix} + (e^{ix})^2\right)\left(1+ 6e^{ix} +(e^{ix})^2\right)}\ dx$$
Now, through the parametrisation $z=e^{ix}$ notice that this last expression equals $-i$ times the contour integral
$$J=\oint_{|z|=1}\frac{z}{(1+ 4z + z^2)(1 + 6z + z^2)}\ dz$$
where the integral is taken counter-clockwise about the unit circle. To evaluate $J$ we need the residues in the two poles of the integrand that are contained inside the unit circle $|z|=1$, namely the poles $z_1=-2 + \sqrt{3}$ and $z_2=-3 + 2\sqrt{2}$. After a tedious calculation we obtain
$$\mathrm{Res}_{z=z_1}\ f(z)=\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\\ \mathrm{Res}_{z=z_2}\ f(z)=-\frac{1}{8\sqrt{2}}$$ where $f(z)$ is the integrand of $J$.
Hence by the Residue Theorem: $$J=2 \pi i \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}} -\frac{1}{8\sqrt{2}}\right)$$ which yields the desired result: $$I=-4iJ=\pi \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right).$$

CONVICTED influence-peddler Guy Velella left Rikers Island on Sept. 28 – set free illegally by an obscure municipal panel with ties to Velella's buddies in Albany and New York City politics. The former state senator was ordered back to jail two weeks ago, but his lawyers are stalling and each day of freedom actually counts as a day spent behind bars. Last week, his foot-dragging lawyers filed papers with the Appellate Division First Department court in preparation for a Dec. 16 hearing before a five-judge panel. The city's papers are due today. Velella has been thumbing his nose at Lady Justice for 77 days now. How much longer?

Review: The Professor and the Madman
Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This PageSend by Email
You'll never watch this movie. Not because it's unavailable or a hard to find movie, but because the marketing department seemed to have all but forgotten about The Professor and the Madman. No press releases, trailers, social media access or promotion from anyone involved. I've not seen anything about this movie and came across it simply by chance. But chance is a fine thing, and you'll sometimes unearth a real gem like this film.
If there were ever a reason to watch The Professor and the Madman, it'd be to see the career-best performance from a very brilliant Mel Gibson. Gibson seems to be taking the world by storm this year, with an incredible performance in Dragged Across Concrete and some promising work here, he seems to be back on top after decades on the Hollywood blacklist. He's a talented guy, with his performance here taking advantage of his gruff Scottish accent as he compiles the very first dictionary.
Sean Penn also offers up a performance that unfortunately doesn't quite reach the similar heights that Gibson does. Penn struggles in his role from time to time. It's not that he was miscast, more that he doesn't know how to play the role. At times he seems demented and estranged from reality, other times he seems rather sound of mind and snaps into reality at a moment's notice. I suppose this is the type of performance that would've received adoration, but here it just feels sloppy.
I'm certainly impressed given this is the big picture directing debut of Farhad Safinia. Their cinematography is exceptional, really capturing the zeitgeist of the time period rather well. A few missteps are of course expected, but they're nowhere near as bad as they could've been. Steve Coogan feels extremely miscast in his limited presence on screen, and the subplot between Penn and Natalie Dormer felt contrived and strained at times.
Speaking of Dormer, I'd quite forgotten she was in this movie. The more I think about Penn and Dormer's subplot, the more I dislike it. Penn's reason for landing himself in a mental asylum directly links with Dormer and it's a shame the writing doesn't take it further. They share a handful of good scenes together, but nothing to suggest anything brilliant.
Feeling more and more like a period piece, The Professor and the Madman takes what seems like a very boring story and manages to add enough depth, drama and interest in to make it a very unique story that embodies the real-life tale rather well. Strong performances go a long way in making this one a success. A stellar movie that has flown completely under the radar.

Guest blog: The Ministry of Food and Digging for Victory
With the introduction of food rationing during the Second World War, the Ministry of Food was tasked with helping the nation through this tumultuous period. They played a vital role in educating people about nutrition, helping them eat healthily at a time when many foods were scarce. One way of doing so was by producing educational resources and recipe books so people could make the most of what they had.
The National Library of Scotland holds a collection of these publications. They offer a fascinating insight into how the government supported people as they adapted to these challenges, which affected Britain's kitchens for over a decade, from 1940 until 1954.
Changes in the Kitchen
Since many commonplace foodstuffs were suddenly in short supply, leaflets were distributed showing people how to adapt common recipes to accommodate rationing. For instance, one Ministry of Food recipe book from 1950 explained how best to bake cakes, scones and puddings at a time when 'fats, eggs and sugars have to be raised to their highest common denominator'. A typical ration allowance was one fresh egg and 8 oz of sugar per person per week, so families would often have to combine their rations to be able to bake a simple sponge cake.
Recipe cards were also produced to help people cook with ingredients they might not have used before, such as dried eggs and powdered milk. Meat shortages meant additional guidance was prepared to help people eke out their meat rations or cook diverse types of meat including whale and horse meat.
It wasn't just ingredients that were in high demand. There was also a national shortage of scales and measures, so guidance was prepared on how to improvise using other household materials like recycled jam jars.
Digging for Victory
The 'Dig for Victory' campaign encouraged families to grow their own food to supplement their rations, to ensure people had enough to eat. Unsurprisingly then, a sizeable proportion of the Ministry of Food publications offered creative ways for people to cook with common vegetables like carrots and potatoes.
Despite the seriousness of their subject matter, these leaflets and recipe books are brightly coloured and often illustrated. They're upbeat and encourage readers to remain positive despite the challenges they were facing. The jaunty cartoon character 'Potato Pete' adorned the cover of one cookbook, promising to show readers 'a thing or two' about how to 'make your rations go further.'
Seasonal guidance was also circulated to help people prepare for Christmas meals using rationed foods, and another leaflet taught people how to make pancakes for Shrove Tuesday using dried eggs, which was another way to bolster national morale.
It was also important to educate the population about the importance of good nutrition at a time when food was scarce. The Ministry of Food published leaflets guiding mothers on how to wean breastfed babies using foods available through rationing, and subsequent leaflets covering distinct stages of children's lives. Another leaflet in the collection addresses cooking for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, which was especially important in the context of soldiers returning from war. (Please note, some of the language expressed in this leaflet/image is outdated by modern standards).
There was also a wealth of information about how to preserve and season foods in new ways, such as growing a herb garden and how to dry and salt surplus fruits and vegetables so that seasonal produce would last longer.
Perhaps you'd like to try your hand at baking a cake or preparing a meal using one of these recipes? All the Ministry of Food recipe cards and books discussed in this blog post can be requested and viewed in the National Library of Scotland reading rooms at George IV Bridge, Edinburgh.

Bucknell University Press 2020 Year in Review
This year has been one we won't soon forget. Every day seemed to bring another breaking news story, and the pandemic has kept us away from our friends, our families, and our coworkers.
Still, there has been much accomplished in 2020, and we at the Bucknell University Press have been busy continuing to publish scholarly monographs in a variety of fields. At times like this, thoughtful intellectualism and academic accomplishment are as important as ever, and we are proud to be able to bring our readers the works of fine authors the world over.
This December, we wanted to take a look back at the books published over the course of 2020. Check out the full, chronological list below, and click on any book's title to be taken to our website where you can find out more information and order a copy.
1.) 1650-1850: Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era (Volume 25)
Edited by Kevin L. Cope
Volume 25 of 1650–1850: Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era investigates the local textures that make up the whole cloth of the Enlightenment. Unfurling in the folds of this volume is a special feature on playwright, critic, and literary theorist John Dennis. This celebration of Dennis mingles with a full company of a wide array of essays in the character of revealing case studies and tops it all off with a full portfolio of relevant reviews.
2.) The Novel Stage: Narrative Form from the Restoration to Jane Austen
Drawing on media theory and focusing on the less-examined narrative contributions of such authors as Aphra Behn, Frances Burney, and Elizabeth Inchbald, alongside those of Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, and Jane Austen, Marcie Frank's The Novel Stage tells the story of the novel as it was shaped by the stage.
3.) Beside the Bard: Scottish Lowland Poetry in the Age of Burns
By George S. Christian
Beside the Bard argues that "Scotland" is a revolutionary category, always subject to creative destruction and reformation. Scottish poetry in the age of Burns reclaims not a single past, dominated and overwritten by the unitary national language of an elite ruling class, but a past that conceptualizes the Scottish nation in terms of local self-identification, linguistic multiplicity, cultural and religious difference, and transnational political and cultural affiliations.
4.) The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: The Stoke Newington Edition
By Daniel Defoe, edited by Maximillian E. Novak, Irving N. Rothman, and Manuel Schonhorn
Robinson Crusoe has been an international best-seller for three hundred years. An adventure tale involving cannibals, pirates, and shipwrecks, it embodies economic, social, political, and philosophical themes that continue to be relevant today. This edition of the novel with its introduction, line notes, and full bibliographical notes provides a uniquely scholarly presentation. There has been no other edition like it.
5.) Romantic Automata: Exhibitions, Figures, Organisms
Edited by Michael Demson and Christopher R. Clason
For most of the eighteenth century, automata were deemed a celebration of human ingenuity, but among the Romantics, they prompted a contradictory apprehension about mechanization and contrivance: such science and engineering threatened the spiritual nature of life. The contributors to Romantic Automata open new methodological approaches to understanding human interaction with technology that strives to simulate, supplement, or supplant organic life.
6.) Lothario's Corpse: Libertine Drama and the Long-Running Restoration, 1700-1831
By Daniel Gustafson
Lothario's Corpse unearths a performance history, on and off the stage, of Restoration libertine drama in Britain's eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Weaving together readings of a set of literary texts, theater anecdotes, political writings, and performances, Gustafson illustrates how the corpse of the Restoration stage libertine is revived in the period's debates about liberty, sovereign desire, and the subject's relation to modern forms of social control.
7.) Transpoetic Exchange: Haroldo de Campos, Octavio Paz, and Other Multiversal Dialogues
Edited by Marília Librandi, Jamile Pinheiro Dias, and Tom Winterbottom
Transpoetic Exchange illuminates the poetic interactions between Octavio Paz and Haroldo de Campos from three perspectives—comparative, theoretical, and performative. Both poets signal the direction of poetry as that of translation, understood as the embodiment of otherness and of a poetic tradition that every new poem brings back as a Babel re-enacted.
8.) Between Market and Myth: The Spanish Artist Novel in the Post-Transition, 1992-2014
By Katie J. Vater
In Between Market and Myth, Vater studies select authors whose largely realist novels portray a clash between the myth of artistic freedom and artists' willing recruitment or cooptation by market forces or political influence. Today, in an era of rising globalization, the artist novel proves ideal for examining authors' ambivalent notions of creative practice when political patronage and private sector investment complicate belief in artistic autonomy.
9.) Narrative Mourning: Death and Its Relics in the Eighteenth-Century British Novel
By Kathleen M. Oliver
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).
10.) Play in the Age of Goethe: Theories, Narratives, and Practices of Play around 1800
Edited by Edgar Landgraf and Elliott Schreiber
We are inundated with game play today. Digital devices offer opportunities to play almost anywhere and anytime. No matter our age, gender, social, cultural, or educational background—we play. Play in the Age of Goethe: Theories, Narratives, and Practices of Play around 1800 is the first book-length work to explore how the modern discourse of play was first shaped during this pivotal period (approximately 1770-1830).
11.) Rewriting Crusoe: The Robinsonade across Languages, Cultures, and Media
Edited by Jakub Lipski
Published in 1719, Defoe's Robinson Crusoe is one of those extraordinary literary works whose importance lies not only in the text itself but in its persistently lively afterlife. German author Johann Gottfried Schnabel—who in 1731 penned his own island narrative—coined the term "Robinsonade" to characterize the genre bred by this classic, and today hundreds of examples can be identified worldwide. The essays here convince us that the genre's formal and ideological adaptability to changing social and cultural circumstances explains its enduring relevance to this day.
12.) Writing Lives in the Eighteenth Century
Writing Lives in the Eighteenth Century is a collection of essays on memoir, biography, and autobiography during a formative period for the genre. The essays revolve around recognized male and female figures—returning to the Boswell and Burney circle—but present arguments that dismantle traditional privileging of biographical modes.
13.) Mormons in Paris: Polygamy on the French Stage, 1874-1892
Edited and translated by Corry Cropper and Christopher M. Flood
In the late nineteenth century, numerous French plays, novels, cartoons, and works of art focused on Mormons. Unlike American authors who portrayed Mormons as malevolent "others," however, French dramatists used Mormonism to point out hypocrisy in their own culture. This new critical edition presents translations of four musical comedies staged or published in France in the late 1800s.
14.) Johnson in Japan
Edited by Kimiyo Ogawa and Mika Suzuki
The study and reception of Samuel Johnson's work has long been embedded in Japanese literary culture. The essays in this collection reflect that history and influence, underscoring the richness of Johnson scholarship in Japan, while exploring broader conditions in Japanese academia today.
15.) Paper, Ink, and Achievement: Gabriel Hornstein and the Revival of Eighteenth-Century Scholarship
Edited by Kevin L. Cope and Cedric D. Reverand II
During his forty-two years as president of AMS Press, Gabriel Hornstein quietly sponsored and stimulated the revival of "long" eighteenth-century studies. Whether by reanimating long-running research publications; by creating scholarly journals; or by converting daring ideas into lauded books, "Gabe" initiated a golden age of Enlightenment scholarship. Paper, Ink, and Achievement finds in the career of this impresario a vantage point on the modern study of the Enlightenment.
16.) Writing Home: A Quaker Immigrant on the Ohio Frontier; the Letters of Emma Botham Alderson
Edited by Donald Ingram Ulin
Writing Home offers readers a firsthand account of the life of Emma Alderson, an otherwise unexceptional English immigrant on the Ohio frontier in mid-nineteenth-century America, who documented the five years preceding her death with astonishing detail and insight. Writing Home offers an unparalleled opportunity for studying immigrant correspondence due to Alderson's unusually well-documented literary and religious affiliations.
17.) Challenging the Black Atlantic: The New World Novels of Zapata Olivella and Gonçalves
By John T. Maddox IV
This incisive new study demonstrates how Columbian writer Manuel Zapata Olivella's novel Changó el gran putas (1983) and Brazilian-born Ana Maria Gonçalves' saga Um defeito de cor (2006) transcend Paul Gilroy's paradigm of the Black Atlantic to show revolutions, communities, and femininities that prophesy a just "New World."
18.) Indiscreet Fantasies: Iberian Queer Cinema
Edited by Andrés Lema-Hincapié and Conxita Domènech
Offering in-depth analyses of fifteen different queer films from the Iberian Peninsula, this collection shows how a diverse group of filmmakers from regions including Catalonia, Portugal, Castile, Galicia, and the Basque Country have produced films that challenge the region's conservative religious values and gender norms, while intervening in vital debates about politics, history, and nation.
19.) Association and Enlightenment: Scottish Clubs and Societies, 1700-1830
Edited by Mark C. Wallace and Jane Rendall
Social clubs as they existed in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland were varied: they could be convivial, sporting, or scholarly, or they could be a significant and dynamic social force, committed to improvement and national regeneration as well as to sociability. The essays in this volume—the first full-length study of the subject in fifty years—examine the complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to 1830.
20.) Oriental Networks: Culture, Commerce, and Communication in the Long Eighteenth Century
Edited by Bärbel Czennia and Greg Clingham
Oriental Networks explores forms of interconnectedness between Western and Eastern hemispheres during the long eighteenth century, a period of improving transportation technology, expansion of intercultural contacts, and the emergence of a global economy. In doing so the volume contributes to the increasingly global understanding of culture and communication.
21.) Hemispheres and Stratospheres: The Idea and Experience of Distance in the International Enlightenment
Nowhere is distance so near-at-hand as in Enlightenment culture. Whether in the telescopic surveys of early astronomers, the panoramas of painters, the diaries of travelers, the prospects of landscape architects, or the tales of novelists, distance is never far in the background of the works and deeds of long-eighteenth-century artists, authors, and adventurers. Hemispheres and Stratospheres draws that background into the foreground.

Montgomery Gentry to Headline Kentucky Tornado Benefit
May 2, 2012 //
Nashville, Tenn. (May 1, 2012) — 98.1 WBUL The Bull has announced Montgomery Gentry to headline the Kentucky Cares Concert on May 9 to benefit victims from the recent tornado that ripped through eastern Kentucky in early March. The concert will be held in Lexington, KY at Busters Billiards & Backroom with proceeds to go to the local American Red Cross. Presented by 98.1 The Bull, tickets are on sale now at http://www.ticketfly.com/. Fellow Kentuckian Laura Bell Bundy will also be performing.
Laura Bell Bundy also to perform.
"Our hearts went out to all those family and businesses that were affected by the storms," says Eddie Montgomery. "We've been trying to organize something for a while so we're real glad this worked out with The Bull. This is our home and we want to do everything we can to help."
Troy Gentry adds, "We were devastated to hear of the destruction that went through Kentucky. We are honored to help out and look forward to a big hometown party and raising much needed funds for these communities that need it."
This event would be worth the drive for our Kentucky neighbors, we all know what we went through with the flooding just two years ago in Nashville.
The dynamic duo, known for their hard-core country anthems, have released "So Called Life" as the second single from their seventh studio album, Rebels On The Run. This is the duo's first album release on powerhouse indie label Average Joes Entertainment. Written by Sean Patrick McGraw and Bruce Wallace, "So Called Life" is the follow-up single to Montgomery Gentry's Top 10 radio smash "Where I Come From." The guitar driven, in-your-face lyrics resonate with every hard-working American. Troy Gentry explains, "It's about putting your nose to the grindstone and busting your butt everyday—doing what you have to do."
Eddie Montgomery says, " This (song) is for everybody that works for a living, gets a paycheck and half of it is already gone. It's just your 'so called life' and hell, they want to get to the weekend and have a damn good time."
The new single has garnered outstanding reviews, receiving four ½ stars from Billy Dukes from Taste of Country. Dukes commented that the new song is "evidence that Troy Gentry and Eddie Montgomery Gentry are back" going on to say, "'So Called Life' bares teeth fans haven't seen in five years. With cut-throat guitar and organ solos towards the end and a rhythm section that grabs hold of you early on and never lets go, this song promises to provide one of the louder slots on the radio this summer."
Billboard reviewed the new single as a "high-octane number brimming with the edge and attitude country fans have come to expect from the rowdy Kentucky duo." Referring to "So Called Life" as a "fiery anthem" saying its "relatable lyrics ensure the song's success."
Montgomery Gentry have recently been nominated for "Duo of the Year" for the upcoming 2012 CMT Music Awards to be held on June 6. Fans can vote now at CMT.com http://www.cmt.com/cmt-music-awards/categories.jhtml

Nervebit Mosaic - Gather the harvest of new inhabitants.
Each year, governors from all the continents arrive to the Eternal Forest, to replenish their populations, gathering the harvest. Because a long time bodies of local natives assemble on the conveyor, and use the fruits of the tree of life to revive steel mechanisms. The Eternal Forest does not belong to anyone, but only the owner takes the whole crop from the branded tree. The governor must win over the opponent to prove the right to put a mark. At the area of the tree of life are ripe fruit and mounted capture for the harvest. By turns opponents are connected to the capture and dragged fruits to ship. Nearby fruits of the same color are linked. Grab one, you can drag the whole group. Using the stored energy, the player can move individual fruits on the area. The more there is connected neighbors fruit, the greater the energy cost of its separation and moving. With the accumulation of energy activated mutators. Mutator can change the color fruit to its own color once. The winner is the one who first fills the ship with energy.

Michael Gurian, MFA, CMHC Family Counselor, explains for parents what it is about video games that makes boys' brains love playing them so much

Why boys' brains love video games
You may have noticed, if you are raising sons, that they are visual. They pick video games. Video games are played mainly by boys, girls don't tend to gravitate toward them as much. Video games are what we call a spatial, medium, so objects are moving around in space. Most of TV is that way too, objects are moving around in space and, of course, virtual space. This feels really great to the right side of the brain. That's the spatial, medium graphic side. We want to remember that girls do verbals on both sides, word on both sides, but boys only do spatial, mechanical and visuals on the right side. They want to activate that side of the brain and they try to find spatial, mechanical things to activate it. Video games are one of those. It can actually be great for that brain because it keeps the brain active. Too much is too much, and that's dangerous. A guy who is inactive in other things, we may find we can get him activated by giving him the video games as a reward. For example, if he's doing very badly and not handing in his homework, we take the video games away. Absolutely, we got to take them away. Then once he makes the B or hand in his homework, we give the video games back because his brain wants them. We, as parents, can use them as leverage. Just remember the rule: Too much is going to hurt the brain, but if you can take control, you can use it to the advantage of that guy's brain.

« Are you passing on your stress to your kids ?
Do you sometimes feel like your brain is like a leaky bucket, you're continually filling it up with information, but the information seems to trickle out, so when you look round only about 10 % of what you put in, is still there.
This week's Neurotechnology Tip shows you how to push up that number, by plugging the leaky hole.
Turns out that when you are pouring information into your brain, getting it to stick is all about laying down strong neuronal pathways. The strength of the neuronal pathways depends on how it is made.
20% of what they learn from a movie.
Are you allowing most of the info to leak out, because you're relying on your teacher/lecturer or the textbook, to get things to stick ?
The learning pyramid suggests that the best way to plug the hole, is actually to teach someone else.
The value of teaching it to someone else comes from the fact that you learn what you don't know and in the process learn it.
You don't want to look like a twit when you're "teaching" it, so your brain works through it. Your brain is forced to concentrate really hard. It can't tune out when it gets stuck or pretend that the concept has actually been grasped, because it will be on show.
Anyone or anything. As long as you've got a captive audience.
In a perfect world, a friend who is trying to study the same material and not getting it. You will end up looking good i.e. you're a fabulous friend, but you will probably get really challenging feedback. Your friend studying the material will know enough to ask you tough questions.
The next option, is another human being, willing to sit still long enough and listen. A parent, brother or sister are all potential options. Depending on their age and aptitu de, they may be able to ask you a question or two, which forces you to clarify your thoughts.
The next option, the family pet. You might need to adjust the tone a little to keep the animal motivated to stick around and listen to you. I used this strategy often when growing up. Think our Labrador was one of the smartest dogs in the neighbourhood. Nina loved exam time, since the level of attention she received rocketed, as she got the run down on who started world war 2 etc.
The final option for those of you who really can't find a living "pupil", stuffed toys make good pupils. Teach the teddy bear your boyfriend gave you for Valentines. It may not be able to talk back but it can't run away.
Listening or reading something is just listening or reading. It's not real learning. Real learning comes from making mistakes. Mistakes require you to do something.
Stick tape that hole closed and teach "a friend".

Specifically designed to be able to be posed in some of the more memorable ways it was seen in the series.
Note, however, that many of the smaller details are NOT in their "real" colors and painting this model will make it look much better.

Incinerated partial remains of at least 274 troops were reportedly dumped at landfill between 2004-08 by the largest military mortuary in the US, BBC reports quoting the Washington Post. The Washington Post report is based on data from Dover Air Force Base, the main entry port for US war dead.
Another 1,762 remains - which did not undergo DNA testing because they were too badly damaged - were disposed of in the same manner, according to the newspaper.
Families, who had agreed for the remains to be disposed of respectfully, were unaware of the practice.

I was sitting in my lounge one evening debating with myself as to whether I should have another large scotch when my deliberations where brought to an abrupt halt by the strident call of the telephone.
It had been a nice day; I had accompanied a number of fellow dowsers from the New Forest Dowsing Society to the Ellingham Country Show. An annual event that takes place in the grounds of the Lord Normington's Estate, between the great house and the Hampshire River Avon. We were located on a delightful spot on the banks of the river in a member's gazebo, an ideal place for dowsing as there were many underground water drainage channels. It was an hour before we got our first customer but after that we were very busy teaching and discussing dowsing all day until about 4 o'clock when we gave up for the afternoon exhausted.
I answered the phone and found that it was a lady I had met at the show and with whom I had been discussing the ill effects of geopathic stress. She requested that I visit and find out if there was anything wrong at her house. It turned out that she was suffering with mild NM and that her mother was suffering with cancer.
When I visited I found a number of geopathic stress lines and a stream that passed under the house. After I had cleaned the house, the lady asked if I would visit one of her fields, as she felt that a ghost was having a bad effect there. All the birds that hatched in the surrounding field hedges died before they fledged. Previously she had put a Colt in the field and it died within 3 days. Even more strange was that later she put a foal and it's mother in the same field and overnight the foal suffered a star fracture to one of its legs and it was assumed that the mother had kicked it.
She then showed me where a cottage used to stand in the field, this was evident by the house bricks that were visible. It transpired that the man who used to live there had been the local farrier and his wife had died suddenly. As a result he was now a bitter man.
I then asked the lady to leave me so that I could concentrate to see if there was any spiritual effects or ghosts present. I found that there was a male ghost and when asked if he would talk to me, I got a very strong negative response from my pendulum, it spun round like a propeller to the horizontal. This was some mean old ghost who was definitely not pleased with my interference.
On returning home I was at a loss on how to carry on when I remembered that John Cuninghame was a man of some experience with Spirits and Ghosts, so I gave him a call. He advised me what to do and was extremely helpful. However, I have to admit that I felt very hesitant about the whole affair, as this was only the third ghost I had come across and I was too inexperienced to deal with this very angry spirit.
Some months later I attended this year's Dowsing Congress and whom should I meet in the Tithe Barn but John. I was quick to tell him that I had not proceeded with the angry ghost that we had discussed in the past, as I was not too confident. John then told me about his 'Peace Line' that he had projected through the Tithe Barn and told me to project a 'Peace Line' off the one in the barn to the field and that this would upset the ghost enough to make him "go over". John then asked me to dowse to see if this had any effect on the ghost and had he gone? I was amazed to find that my pendulum went into a "yes" then "no" response repeatedly, something that I had never experienced before. John was pleased with this and told me that it would not be long before the 'Peace Line' would reduce the ghost resolve to stay.
A few days later I visited the field and the first thing I did was to search for the line. I have to say that I was rather dubious that I would find it despite the pendulum reactions I'd had in the Tithe Barn, but there it was, half way up the field and covering the remains of the cottage. I dowsed for the ghost and found that he was standing close by me, on my left. I asked if he would speak to me and I got a gentle "yes" from the pendulum. He then agreed that he would go over to where he should be, so we stood together, had a short prayer and he left immediately. I am sure that he is now happier than he has been for years. All thanks to John Cuninghame's 'Peace Line'.
I have now projected the 'Peace Line' to another house, which a few years ago was newly built over the site of an old house. Every night the ghosts of a man and woman have a heated argument and their shouting keeps the owners awake most of the night also the house feels very cold despite the modem central heating. This, John tells me is because a ghost will draw energy from a body thus making it feel cold though there is no change to the air temperature.
As I settle down to another large scotch I am happy in my knowledge that John Cuninghame's 'Peace Line' is working away and pacifying those two upset spirits and that I will be able to help them "go over' and be at peace.
