Adam Emil Lewak (ur. 3 września 1891 w Pieniakach, zm. 25 czerwca 1963 w Gdyni) – polski historyk, bibliotekarz i wydawca źródeł.

Życiorys

Był synem Józefa i Ludwiki z Mazurków. Zdał egzamin dojrzałości w C. K. Gimnazjum im. Rudolfa w Brodach (1911). Studiował na Wydziale Humanistycznym Uniwersytetu Jana Kazimierza, do 1917 literaturoznawstwo, historię i filozofię oraz na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim.

W 1913 roku podjął pracę na stanowisku bibliotekarza w Bibliotece Muzeum Polskiego w Rapperswilu. W latach 1922–1926 odbył szereg podróży naukowych do Francji, Tunisu i na Sycylię, w 1931 do Konstantynopola i Azji Mniejszej. W 1927 roku na stałe powrócił do Polski i przewiózł zbiory rapperswilskie do Warszawy. Tuż po powrocie został nominowany na kustosza Biblioteki Narodowej. Należał do pierwszego Komitetu Redakcyjnego Polskiego Słownika Biograficznego. Zajmował się tam m.in. kompletowaniem kartoteki bibliograficznej i jej selekcji z zakresu politycznych dziejów Polski porozbiorowej.

We wrześniu 1939 roku, jako dyrektor Biblioteki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego czynnie brał udział w ratowaniu przed zniszczeniem, przez niemieckie bombardowania, zbiorów bibliotecznych. Następnie został aresztowany przez władze okupacyjne i osadzony w Pawiaku. Wkrótce potem został zwolniony z więzienia.

Podczas okupacji swoją działalność skupił na rozwijaniu tajnego czytelnictwa, szczególnie wśród młodzieży. Szacuje się, że uchronił przed zniszczeniem lub przejęciem przez Niemców zbiory liczące około 1 200 000 pozycji. Po wojnie, już w roku 1945 objął ponownie kierownictwo nad Biblioteką Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.

W 1956 przeszedł na stanowisko docenta Instytutu Historycznego Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.

Pochowany na cmentarzu Powązkowskim w Warszawie (kwatera 47-6-25,26,27).

Ordery i odznaczenia
 Krzyż Kawalerski Orderu Odrodzenia Polski (11 listopada 1937)

Should Recreational Marijuana Be Legalised?
Greens' leader, Richard Di Natale, has called for cannabis to be legalised in Australia for recreational use and for it to be regulated by a federal agency.
While this proposal has shocked some, a recent opinion poll found that around 30% of Australians think cannabis should be legal as current measures to regulate the illicit drug have not had the desired outcomes.
'The current approach of prohibition has failed and that needs to change,' said Dr Nicole Lee from Curtin University's National Drug Research Institute.

Trump's comment came only hours after WND reported Washington watchdog Judicial Watch is suing the Department of Justice for information about the payments to Steele, who wrote the document funded by the Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee that made unverified claims about then-candidate Donald Trump.
Judicial Watch said in its announcement Tuesday that the FBI still could be covering up information related to the origin of the claim that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia.
In Senate testimony last week, Attorney General William Barr upset Democrats when he disclosed he believes the Obama administration spied on the 2016 Trump campaign. Barr said he plans to review the matter along with the origins of the counter-intelligence probe.
The lawsuit was filed after the FBI didn't respond to a FOIA request last fall.
Its FOIA lawsuit is the latest in its investigation of the dossier.

Join me at the Thinking Autism Conference. Let's learn together.
Mar 6, 2019 | reThinking Autism blog
It's 2019, and scientific certainties concerning the true nature of autistic spectrum disorder remain stubbornly elusive. Researchers acknowledge it's a puzzle made up of disparate biological and environmental pieces, seemingly fitting together in infinite combinations. But where does that leave us, the parents, carers, frontline professionals and autistic individuals dealing with what can feel like an endless, unacknowledged daily grind, trying to stay afloat in a sea of contradictory information?
Traditional pharmaceutical treatments offer a temporary band-aid at best. With public services buckling under the strain of an explosion in rates of autism diagnosis and a generation of severely autistic children transitioning into adulthood with complex support needs and ageing parents, many in the autism community face a future filled with anxiety-inducing uncertainty.
The public face of autism is rapidly morphing into something almost unrecognisable to anyone with personal experience of severe autism. The all too familiar reality of institutional abuses, families in crisis, unmet medical needs and premature mortality is in the process of being transformed into a shiny new autism narrative, one where autism is sold as a benign neurological difference, even a superpower.
In many respects, this 'autism as a spectrum of human neurodiversity' narrative appears to be a fairytale constructed by those unable to conceive of a reality where some autistic individuals might, for example, never possess the necessary skills to drive a motor vehicle, or even feed and dress themselves, and who will likely spend their lives entirely dependent upon parents, carers and social care professionals for their very survival. Coming at an astronomical cost to taxpayers in a time of austerity and radical cuts to public services, this puts a significant strain on an already ailing health and social care system.
It's also a world where language policing, censorship and the sensibilities of a privileged few take precedence over the wants and needs of profoundly impaired autistic humans whose continued existence depends on appropriate medical and social care provision. By virtue of the severity of their cognitive impairment, these severely disabled individuals are also denied a voice within the booming autism self-advocacy industry, which demands a particular profile of ability and neurology to take part in the conversation. The neurodiversity mantra 'nothing about us, without us,' rings hollow in the face of such exclusionary applications of what should be a philosophy of inclusivity for all humans.
Fortunately, in this sea of confusion, there exists an organisation whose purpose is to help families, professionals and individuals affected by autism to navigate the tidal wave of small scale research studies and anecdotal accounts of successful treatments. Thinking Autism is a charity that stands as a beacon of clear thinking, with their May 2019 conference in London bringing together world-renowned experts on evidence-based treatments for the medical comorbidities associated with autism.
Disturbingly, the mainstream medical community has effectively abdicated responsibility for treating those impacted by severe autism, and diagnostic overshadowing abounds. With an average life expectancy of 39 for those on the spectrum, this particular autistic humanoid is living on borrowed time.
In reality, though, it is most likely those severely autistic individuals with additional intellectual disabilities and other comorbid conditions, who are drawing the short straw in the longevity stakes. They make up an estimated 50% of the autistic community, have the highest support needs and are the most vulnerable to abuse and death by misadventure or medical complications. As the group most in need of effective evidence-based treatments and interventions, it's a sad fact that they are the very same population which is almost entirely excluded from research samples in this vital area of study, as was made clear by a recently published review of the scientific literature.
I am very proud to be attending such an event, a first for me in my new role as ambassador for Thinking Autism. As an autistic adult, I tend to find appropriately organised opportunities for socialising are few and far between, and an event that motivates me to step outside of my comfort zone is as rare as hen's teeth.
Featured speakers include Dr Adi Aran and Dr Orit Stolar from Israel & Dr Annabelle Manalo from the USA, presenting cutting-edge research on medical cannabis and the endocannabinoid system and its relevance to autism; Federico Balzola MD from Italy on autism and gastrointestinal symptoms; Richard Frye MD PhD from the USA on metabolic and seizure disorders associated with autism; Iwona Zarnowska MD PhD and Prof Tomasz Żarnowski from Poland on the application of a ketogenic diet in epilepsy and autism, and Tim Ubhi MD delivering a UK perspective on PANDAS & PANS.
Other highlights include a review of a six-year case study, presented by Peter Lloyd-Thomas, following the novel, science-based treatment of a child with severe autism, as well as Dr Ben Marlow's presentation on the importance of approaching the unique underlying biology of the different autisms in different ways, with a plea for the NHS to recognise that autistic children need far better standards of medical care.
The Thinking Autism conference blends the opportunity to quench my thirst for autism knowledge, attend accessible social events where I can meet those unique individuals I have built a friendship with online, and the necessary support from dedicated members of the Thinking Autism team, all of whom have a lifetime of first-hand autism experience.
Unlike many autism events, the conference welcomes and accommodates autistic adults, with concessionary rates available. I genuinely hope to see you there — I'll be making myself useful taking snaps and tweeting live updates on the hashtag #TAConference2019, so do feel free to come and say howdy.
Tom is a 38-year-old autistic male. Diagnosed with a speech and language disorder/learning disability as a child, he spent most of his school years in special education before being re-diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Thomas spent five years of his adult life as a psychiatric inpatient and currently resides in supported accommodation in the South West of England.

2018 snuck away and suddenly, like clockwork, it was 2019. 2019.
As in WE ARE GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR.
For so long, namely because we've had a long engagement, we've been talking about our wedding as this idea and major life event that is happening sometime in the distant future. Yet, as the new year fell upon us, Chelsea and I both had a very real moment of reality: our wedding is happening soon – I mean, now it's only 6 months away!
Truly, it shouldn't surprise us. Chelsea and I have been taking time a couple times a month to spend hours planning everything from schedules, hotel blocks, flowers, and guest lists. Yet, as with many things in life, when you find yourself thick in the process, you barely recognize how fast everything is moving.
We have kept approximately sixteen sheets in our Master Excel document to track everything. Several months ago, Chelsea suggested we keep a sheet to track the things that we have accomplished throughout the planning process so that we could feel encouraged in what we have completed. Seeing that list grow has been delightful; to-dos are getting done and we're getting closer to capturing the vision we have for this day in our lives.
However, even at this juncture, it has been necessary to recognize that planning a wedding is more than a list of things to do. Wedding planning is inherently stressful because getting married is a HUGE deal. Sure, it's positive stress, but it's still stress. Not only are we working together to plan this celebration, but we're also wrestling with what it means for us to be a married couple – particularly when we already live together, are working to combine finances, and very much have a shared life. What, then, does marriage mean for us?
Contemplation of this change is something newer we are bringing to the conversation of wedding planning. What will change after we become legally married? What might stay the same? What expectations are we both carrying into the relationship (unconsciously or otherwise)?
I suppose this is the gift of a long engagement. We've had the time to enjoy the newness of our commitment, to hash out important details for our ceremony and reception, and to allow the process to remind us that a very big change is coming. Marriage has been a conduit for us to discuss even larger, looming questions about our future: where we will live, our careers, our dreams, and of course, children.
These conversations are timely as we turn to more intricately plan the ceremony. The ceremony, for us, is the sacred, intimate representation of us joining our lives. We want the format to speak to who we are as a couple and to set the stage for this very serious commitment we are making. We're planning for instrumental music, meaningful readings, and a space filled with support, love, laughter, and ease. When I envision marrying Chelsea in the Washington Park Garden (one of my absolute favorite spots in Denver) I anticipate how right it will feel, and how beautiful it will be.
These are the joys of wedding planning. To be honest, it can be hard to hold on to these joys when so much of the process requires diligence about money and details. Yet, as we continue to make more decisions and have more clarity on this experience, we find a deep knowing that this will be the next step into the rest of our lives. Our process is reflecting this, too. The choices of our locations, vendors, and logistics show a shift to have the kind of day that we want, not a day that the wedding world and/or society says we should have.
6 months to go – I can hardly believe it.
There is still much to be done, yet, I feel so joyful at all that we have created and all that will come together this August.

How do I change the name of my blog?
I am new to the world of WordPress and I have a blog that I have not messed with much. The whole thing is a little daunting to me. Anyway, I would like to change the name or title of my website. I am not sure how to do this or if I can even.
I have seen you a few times on creativeLIVE and followed you on YouTube. You have a lot of valuable information to share. I also enjoy your witty sense of humor.
I appreciate your taking the time to help me.
Thanks for the kind words. If you need to change the URL of your website, that can be challenging, but if you just want to change the title as it displays in the pages of your WordPress site, you can do that in the General Settings quite easily.
As you can see in the screenshot below, just log into the Dashboard, click on the Settings link on the left and choose General. The Site Title and Tagline are the first two fields.
You can use the WordPress General Settings to change the title of your website or blog.


A woman stole more than $1 million from a Chicago company she worked for, according to the feds.
Margarita Shabazz, 39, pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of bank fraud, according to FBI spokesman Garrett Croon.
Shabazz was the controller and production manager of a Chicago-based company that produces TV commercials and fashion photography for clients, according to the feds.
Between Dec. 23, 2011, and June 10, 2016, Shabazz stole $1,600,000 from the company's bank accounts, according to the feds. She wrote checks payable to companies owned by her and her husband, but falsely recorded them in the company's books and records as payable to vendors of the company.
The scheme was discovered in June 2016 after Shabazz was fired in late May of the same year, according to the feds. The company's owner then outsourced the accounting to an independent firm.
While reviewing the company's records, the firm discovered checks issued to two companies, one of which was a combination of Shabazz's two children's names, according to the feds.
Shabazz was arrested in the Central District of California on Oct. 4. 2016, according to the feds. She is scheduled to be sentenced in February.

Expedition Team
Due to Covid this event is postponed until further notice!
The Trans Borneo Challenge (TBC) event, now headed its 5th year, has to date help raise more than $100,000 directly for orangutan conservation projects. This is your chance to become part of an event that truly does help to make a difference for the orangutan species and their rainforest homes.
The Trans Borneo Challenge mission is to raise both urgently needed funds & worldwide awareness about the plight of the orangutans, as the flagship species for many other endangered creatures, as well as the continued destruction of their rainforest habitat.
How does the TBC work?
The expedition consists of a small group of (4 minimum & 10 maximum) adventurous & passionate people from countries around the world, travelling across 4 regions of Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), from one side to the other, to raise awareness and urgently needed funds to help save the orangutan and their jungle habitat. The challenge this year will run from East to West and will start in Balikpapan in East Borneo through to Banjarmasin in South Borneo, onto to Palangkaraya & Pangkalan Bun in Central Borneo and finally and finish in Ketapang,West Borneo. To become one of the lucky TBC 2018 participants, simply go to the Bookings tab at the top of this page and follow the directions.
Applications are open on a first come first served basis, until all 10 positions have been filled. There is no pre-registration or qualifications required, but we will be asking that you declare your understanding about the expedition travel levels and the costs involved.
The expedition cost in 2018 is $4,320 per person. Each participant also has a mandatory fundraising component of AUD$1,000 (minimum) per person as part of the tour package which MUST be raised 2 weeks prior to departure. More details about all the costs along with inclusions and exclusions can be found under the Itinerary section of this website.
When is it on & how long does it go for?
The expedition begins on 1st November 2018 and finishes on 22nd November 2018. The expedition will take 22 days/21 nights days to complete, including travel & briefing days. See the Itinerary page for details about each day locations and activities.
How are funds raised?
This year each participant has their own minimum personal fundraising target of AUD$1,000, as part of their expedition commitment. In addition we hope additional funds can be raised through corporate sponsorship, general donations, and the event supporters.
People will also be able to sponsor their favourite trekker (that's you) and follow the event through facebook and twitter. Donations will be accepted in all currencies via credit card & Paypal, through the TBC fundraising website. Tax receipts are be automatically generated and sent via email.

We believe we have the means to raise over $20,000 in a united effort by all countries, which will significantly help conservation efforts across Indonesia.
Where does the money raised go?
100% of monies raised will go towards on the ground conservation projects through The Orangutan Project. (TOP). For more information on the full scope of the valuable conservation projects supported see TOP's Latest Annual Report.
"TOP strives to get the best conservation and welfare results for orangutans by effectively using every dollar raised to support genuine on the ground conservation work through a wide range of partners. Working in a non-partisan way provides the orangutans their best chance. The Trans Borneo Challenge is a perfect display of both the challenge to save orangutans and the spirit of mutual cooperation that is needed to meet that challenge", says Leif Cocks, TOP Founder, and President.
