World Languages Collection at Tūranga receives warm welcome
11 December 2018 cclbloggerLeave a comment
"It is my first time to see Korean books in a library!" an elated Donggi Jun said when he saw the shelves of books in his native Korean, a part of the World Languages Collection Ngā Reo o te Ao / World Languages, Auahatanga | Creativity, Level 4 of Tūranga.
Jun hails from South Korea but has been a Christchurch resident for years. "I'm so happy to see lots of popular authors. A lot of us miss our country. These books will be a source of comfort," added the 58-year-old who also renewed his library membership card so he can start borrowing Korean books "as often as I can".
Jun is only one of many migrants who were delighted to see the World Languages Collection since Tūranga opened on Friday 12 October. The collection aimed to reflect the thriving cultural diversity of Christchurch. It enables migrant communities to maintain a connection with their language and culture, as well as provide study materials for English language learners.
At present, the World Languages Collection at Tūranga comprises of books in 13 languages including Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Thai. In addition, it has magazines and periodicals in Afrikaans, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese and Russian. It also includes an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) section for English language learners.

Olivier Hoel, who left France to work in Christchurch a year ago, was thankful to find his beloved French titles housed at Tūranga:
"It was a great surprise when I saw them first at Peterborough Library and now, they're here, more accessible in a such a lovely place."
Visitors to the city were equally impressed. "We are in the wrong city! How come you have this!?" a South African visiting from Wellington exclaimed while lifting an edition of the Afrikaans magazine Rooi rose from the rack. She was also able to find a book in the Afrikaans section written by a friend, quickly getting a snapshot for Instagram.
German tourist Horst Schnidt was also pleased. Looking up from reading the pages of German periodical Der Spiegel, he commented, "This new library is in itself amazing. But having items in various languages like German makes it more special."
The collection has been well-used. An average of 30 items are being marked "used" every day, at times peaking up at 50. This doesn't include the many more being borrowed. Many customers also joined the library or renewed their membership (like Jun) just to access the collection.
ESOL tours have proven to be quite popular as well. Over 350 individuals from various cultural backgrounds have been toured around Tūranga since its opening and shown World Languages materials (adult and children's) including the eResources they can access from the library website. Among them were students from Hagley Community College, Papanui High School (Adult ESOL Department), and Wilkinson's English School.
"The ESOL items are a big help to me," said Chinese student Rita Xu who was also thrilled to see the Chinese books section, the most extensive in the collection. "My friends will be happy. I will tell them about it."
The collection, however, is not only popular with English language learners but also with students of other languages. For instance, German language students from Hagley College were keen on the German books and magazines that could aid them master German.
No doubt, the World Languages Collection in Tūranga is a hit. As Anne Scorgie from South Africa puts it, "Having this collection shows that Christchurch is really now recognising its growing diversity. It's a great step."

Donation of Polish books to Christchurch City Libraries

On Saturday 9th December, Central Library Peterborough hosted Mr Zbigniew Gniatkowskted, the Polish Ambassador to New Zealand; Mrs Winsome Dormer, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland for the South Island; Anna Gruczyska, President of the Polish Association in Christchurch; and Krysia Wiek, member of the Polish community in Christchurch. The Polish Embassy kindly gifted books in Polish, and about Poland, to the library.
The Polish collection has been a part of the Christchurch City Libraries' World languages collection for several years now, established after the original Polish Library at the Hereford Street Community House perished in the February 2011 earthquake, with the entire collection of books lost.
In addition to purchases made by the Christchurch City Libraries, the Polish collection contains book donations from members, and on this occasion from the Polish Embassy. In addition to a number of books in Polish, the donation includes several books on Poland and Polish history in English, for the Christchurch City Libraries collection.

After presenting the collection to the Christchurch City Libraries our guests stayed for a morning tea – delicious polish buns made by Krysia – and a chat with the Central Library Peterborough team.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori – Māori Language Week 2017
7 September 2017 14 September 2017 Mo-moLeave a comment
This year Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) has shifted from its usual end of July timing to 11-17 Mahuru (September). This year we also celebrate the 30th anniversary of te reo Māori as an official language of Aotearoa.
The theme for this year's Māori Language Week is –
Kia ora te reo – Let the Māori language live
In celebration of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori we will be publishing a blog post each day incorporating te reo Māori or highlighting te reo Māori resources.
Te Reo Māori i Te Whare Pukapuka – Māori Language at The Library
Christchurch City Libraries – Ngā Kete Wānanga o Ōtautahi will be celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with Wā Kōrero/Storytimes throughout the week with te reo Māori songs and stories. There will also be a couple of storytimes sessions extra to our usual schedule delivered by a bilingual presenter at Linwood and Aranui.
See our events calendar for a session near you.
All our wā kōrero/storytimes sessions during Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori will include Māori language stories/songs
If kapa haka is more your thing, get your takahia on at Aranui Library, 2-3pm on Thursday 14 September where St James School – Te Kura o Hato Hemi will be performing.
Adding te reo Māori to your library experience can be as straightforward as the tap of a screen – why not simply try out the reo Māori option on our māu e tuku (self issue) machines?
There are a variety of language options on our self-issue machines including Te Reo Māori.
Or learn a new kupu (word) by reading our bilingual library signs or even just learn to say the Māori name of your local library.
Mahuru Māori
Beyond the official week celebrating te reo, a further initiative, Mahuru Māori, encourages te reo Māori speakers of all levels of ability to commit to speaking te reo Māori only during the month of Mahuru/September. Other options are to speak te reo Māori anake during a chosen day of the week, or for one week of the month. Te reo speakers can join the Mahuru Māori Facebook Group for support and help to complete the challenge. For te reo tweets during September follow @MahuruMaori.
Everyone can do the Mahuru Māori challenge (Māori Television)

Memories, mind-wandering, and the evolution of language
4 July 2017 4 July 2017 katecclLeave a comment
"It was a dark and chilly winter's night, but the crowd in the foyer of the Charles Luney Auditorium at St. Margaret's College didn't let that deter them. They were bundled up warm, busy chatting to their friends, and keen to get into the auditorium to hear Auckland University's Michael Corballis present 'Mental Travels in Space and Time'."
Did you just get an image in your head of how that scene might have looked? If you've ever been into the Charles Luney Auditorium before, your mind will have travelled back there, remembered how it looked, and added in people in winter clothes and cold dark weather to suit the story.
If you haven't been to this particular location, you might have remembered your old school auditorium instead, or maybe the foyer of the old Christchurch Town Hall or Isaac Theatre Royal, and pictured the scene as if it was happening there. Either way, regardless of how you imagined this scene, you based it upon your memories of a time you were in a particular location, and what you saw and heard, and how it made you feel.
You have just used your brain for mental time travel – using memories as a way to imagine ourselves in places and times that we are not currently in. That was the topic of Professor Corballis' speech, held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Royal Society Te Apārangi. The audience learnt about the hippocampus – the part of the brain which helps form memories of events, and which reinterprets those memories and helps us daydream and imagine ourselves in new places and times.
It's because of the hippocampus that we can empathise, and put ourselves in another person's situation, why authors and storytellers can come up with fictional made-up stories, and why readers sometimes get so caught up in the stories they are reading – our brain is letting us experience the story in the same way as it would if we were actually living it.
The audience also learnt what happens if the hippocampus is damaged. If this happens, you can't form memories of the things you have done, but you remember skills that you have learnt. Could you imagine not having any memories of specific events? Or having others tell you that you have done something or gone somewhere with them, but you don't remember doing it? Yet at the same time, you don't have any difficulty remembering how to carry out skills such as walking, talking, or drawing? I can't imagine that personally, but we heard about some individuals for whom this is normal.
The speech Professor Corballis gave was entertaining and informative, and these same characteristics come through in his new book The Truth About Language. I really enjoyed how accessible this book is – no matter your background, the conversational writing style is easy to read. With anecdotes, quotes from literature, and references to historical and contemporary linguistic theories, Corballis tells the story of how language came to be, and why it is so different in different countries and communities.
Don't worry if you aren't a linguist – you will still be able to understand the points Corballis is making, and enjoy the information found in this book. For those readers who do want a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of language, however, the book includes references to other theories and theorists, generous explanatory notes, and a comprehensive bibliography to guide further reading.
From the big bang to the different languages used world-wide in 2017, there are so many aspects of language – body language, pronunciation and sounds, grammar, and so much more. Michael Corballis' The Truth About Language is a fun way to learn about this fascinating subject, and Christchurch City Libraries has a range of his other books that delve further into the subject. So, if language, the mind, and psychology are things you're interested in, then check them out on our catalogue!

Mango languages gives you the world
24 April 2015 21 April 2015 ColleenLeave a comment
When I was travelling through Jordan, our guide pointed out some hills across from the Dead Sea. "That is Israel, we are still officially at war with them", he said. It reminded me that New Zealand's isolation isn't necessarily a bad thing. Then I got a job at the University College of London where everyone I worked with seemed to be multi-lingual. This made me see our isolation in another light. Kiwis can't pop over to Germany for the weekend to improve their German! So there is also a loss when your nearest neighbours are an ocean away and Australian. Times though are changing with immigration, tourism and cheaper air travel our island is becoming increasingly open to other cultures and language.
It is not surprising that with more fluid borders that people are keen to learn languages other than their own. This is where Mango languages can come in handy. You do not have to worry about scratched discs or overdue fines – instead you can learn over 60 languages online. Mango will let you learn from basic right through to advanced levels, with grammar and cultural notes.
So if you are looking for ways to learn a foreign language or need a better grasp on English then this is a great place to start. Mango for languages is available from home with your library card number and password/PIN or in libraries.

Squeaky clean reading?

Holy Sh*t: A brief history of swearing
Today I stumbled upon an app that I can quite safely say I will never use. Clean Reader can instantly sanitize any of the books in its store to make them squeaky clean and free of profanity.
Occasionally we get a customer who does feel that a book contains too much bad language.
I have read this book from cover to cover and it is disgusting!"
Libraries have, and always will be about choice. I choose not to read nasty psychokiller thrillers but I don't mind a bit of cussing. I don't have a problem with someone else wanting to read these books – actually that isn't quite true as I really do think they are mysoginistic and nasty, but I will always defend the right for the library to purchase these books and for our customers to read them.
So don't expect to see a clean reader attached to our eBooks, but it is out there if you need it. I wonder if there is an app that can remove nasty sadistic psychos, probably not. Maybe I could make one?

Toku ara o te reo Māori / My te reo journey / Moja te reo pot
26 February 2015 21 August 2015 mashaccl1 Comment
It was enchanting, impressive and compelling from the very first moment. As all the best things in life, it happened so unexpectedly and it was something completely different! Although my life has been kindly providing me with opportunities of diving into various languages ever since I can remember, learning te reo Māori has been without a doubt one of the most amazing journeys I have ever taken.
It started in rather unspectacular circumstances though. I was sitting in a pub in Hanmer Springs one day last winter, leisurely browsing through the Saturday issue of The Press. An article about te reo classes caught my eye. I was after some Māori language classes since I landed in Aotearoa, but I hadn't found anything that would be:
holistic (embracing the language as well as the culture and tikanga)
The classes were taught by an English teacher at Burnside High school, the excellent Regan Stokes, with the support of his two friends Joshua T. Toki and Damien Taylor. As the article stated, classes were based on koha donations and were offering a relaxed and informal encounter with te reo – so they were perfect for people with other commitments or for those who just wanted to check out what te reo is all about.

Ngā Kaupapa (Course info) 2015
I started attending classes weekly and learning has never been so much fun. I have loved schooling since I was a child. Learning and sharing knowledge has always been exciting to me, but I had never imagined it could be so entertaining, encompassing various skills and styles – not just visual and auditory but kinaesthetic and imaginative as well.
What surprised me first was that so many words and vowels resonated with the sounds and words of my own Slovenian language. I felt strangely at home, producing these first utterances. Pronunciation in my own language is much closer to te reo pronunciation than English, so I found it quite easy to grasp its logic (I am still far from mastering pronunciation itself – that takes time!) Every language sounds different to every pair of ears. To me, te reo sounds playful and uplifting.
I can imagine anyone who was brought up to speak in languages with highly developed vocabulary, as well as complicated and often very confusing grammar, would agree that te reo's nature is truly economical. Readers may know, that Māori language will often use what already exists in order to make up a word. Deciphering the words in te reo can as a consequence be a special pleasure, it's like a taonga hunt and is highly rewarding for beginners as it quickly makes sense.
The economical aspect of te reo encourages constant repetitions, which give the language a joyful yet poetical note. Repetition, whether it is whole words or the rhythm, is one of the core elements of poetry and nursery rhymes. Its importance was and still is strongly manifested in the religious chants and rituals of most tribes. It does not work only as an aesthetic device, it affects readers and listeners subconsciously, on an intuitive level.
It almost seems contradictory, but the economy of te reo is where the most enchanting part of it, its depth, emanates from. To me it seems as the whole language exists on a totally different level. It is basically impossible to understand and grasp this language without understanding and elucidating tikanga and essence (not just meaning) behind certain words. Direct translation of one word to another just doesn't do justice to the meaning. It is not only the stories, that most kupu carry with them, it is the entire cosmology of Māori culture, the view and understanding of the world that radiates out of them. I am mesmerised again and again by these luminous kōrero that are hiding behind so many words. It seems to me every word is a treasure on its own and the layers of one single word are sometimes countless. Everything becomes even more complex when sentences are knitted together – the language itself then almost feels three dimensional. It is expanding in so many directions and on many levels. Digging after meanings and untangling the karakia sometimes feels as if you would be diving through the endless layers of Tangaroa or Ranginui.
These two features – economy and depth – are distinctive features of poetry as well. And te reo is an outstandingly poetical language. It is not just the structure of words and repetition of sounds that make it melodic and rhythmical, it is the structure of sentences, the grammar itself which brings te reo's utterance, articulation closer to te ātaahua of poetry forms (ātaahua can be translated as "beauty" or "beautiful", but it actually means "carefully shaped"). For me the essence of a perfect art form, let it be literary or visual or musical or any other, lies in the harmony, in perfection of its form. A work of art is perfect as it is, there is nothing one would add to it or remove from it, as that would only ruin it. So too is te reo. Its economy shapes it so sophisticatedly and that also nurtures its inspiring ambiguity and beauty. This language is potently charged with metaphor and one can trace its figurativeness even in everyday, informal talk.

The view of the world that opens through te reo is entirely different to the one that my own language or English has furnished me with. All the languages that I have learned are of Indo-European origin and they all hold on to a very strong anthropocentric position. They derive from a point of view of a subject, of a human as the centre of the universe. How we, as human beings, see and comprehend the world around us and how we relate to this world is strongly rooted in the language. It is the language we are born in that has a great impact on our comprehension of the world and our relation to it, because we relate to everything inside of us and outside of us through this language.
Te Reo Māori is far from being anthropocentric – rather the opposite. Subject and verb are structurally very important elements of grammar in most Indo-European languages. All language classes I've attended started with learning how to say TO BE and later on TO HAVE. That doesn't happen in te reo. Te reo doesn't even know the verbs "to be" or "to have" (and how cool is that!?) In te reo, one wouldn't say "I like the book", but "The book is good to me." THE BOOK IS GOOD TO ME.
I am struck again and again how differently this language expresses the relations between concepts and notions – so unlike those that are deeply rooted in me. Concepts that other languages regard as immanent and omnipresent, like concepts of substance, existence, possession and ownership, are quite foreign to te reo. Less subjective concepts (at least to my understanding) seem to prevail in it: relationship, belonging, coalescence and mutual responsibility. Human being is placed in a more humble, yet more connected position in te reo view of the world. To me, this view makes so much more sense.

Learning te reo makes me often reflect on Slovenian, as well as English. Lately it has made me think a lot about the history and survival of my language. My country gained independence in 1991 and that's when it appeared on the map of the world (it looks like a small chicken in the right bottom corner of Europe). For a long time throughout history, my culture and my tangata existed only through the language. Most of the time we were part of other bigger and more powerful countries, empires or other forms of constitutional unions (like Yugoslavia, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Illyrian Provinces etc). In comparison to other European nations we were not numerous, we had no power and we were not landowners. We can boast only a few aristocratic families in our whakapapa. In our history, we have been Christianized, survived all sorts of systems of government (including principalities, provinces, empires, kingdoms, federations), been occupied and/or governed by numerous foreign forces (including French, German, Italian and Austro-Hungarian just in the last 200 years), battled through the first and second world war (and worst of all our own civil war) and the Balkan conflict in 1990s. All this time, we kept our language (despite all other languages which were official, taught in schools and used in legal matters). It was the language where the consciousness of culture, its uniqueness and identity came from.

The first book in the Slovenian language was written and printed in the 16th century, a few decades before Shakespeare's first works were published. So we had a lot to catch up with, which we did. Mostly in the Romantic era and later on in the 20th century – with prolific poets and authors writing in the Slovenian language and for Slovenian readers. Newspapers had been published since the beginning of the 19th century and we established our first publishing house dedicated to children's literature after World War Two. The strongest and most passionate advocates of independence at the end of 1980s came from a group of authors, poets and intellectuals, centred around the literary magazine Nova revija. Today, we are the second country in Europe by number of books published per year per capita (right after the United Kingdom). We have survived because of our language and literature.
All our stories and histories are unique and complex – there is no point in comparing them as they stem from entirely diverse circumstances. I like to see my history as a story of language, its power and importance. Now, it seems more inspiring and meaningful to me than ever before.
I feel deeply grateful, that I can walk this rewarding journey of te reo, because it has given me so much more than just basic phrases in another foreign language! In utu I would like to share the story of my language (Utu has a wide variety of meanings in te reo. Here, it is used in a sense of reciprocity of kind deeds, of a gift exchange, that creates and establishes permanent and personal relationships). Let it linger as a little reminder of the importance of te reo and the need to nurture it.

The Stuff of Life
15 September 2013 13 September 2013 purplerulz8 Comments
Books as a single entity are all very well, but I've been thinking lately about the individual words that make up the things I read.
Cormac McCarthy will do that to you. Pick up any of his books, from The Road, the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner, to No Country For Old Men, Suttree, and the two that are coming out as movies this year, The Counsellor and Child of God and there is a wealth of wondrous words throughout.
Then the sun buckled and dark fell like a shout – Outer Dark
I'm currently reading Outer Dark, written in 1968. It is set in the last part of the 19th century, as near as I can tell, and this bleak, gut wrenching book is filled with wonderful words that fit this period and I found myself writing some unknown words on my bookmark to check later in the dictionary. He is known for making up words and I love this about him, he feels unfettered by just the English language, despite having a rich love of it.
…the house was grown with a rich velour of moss and lichen and brooded in a palpable miasma of rot. – Outer Dark
It had me thinking about how each word crafted into a piece of writing adds to the whole, some you don't notice, but some leave you amazed or confused or thoroughly impressed. Does Mr McCarthy for example, go hunting dictionaries for words that are obscure to colour this prose, or is he just incredibly well read? His turn of phrase and the pictures he conjures in my mind are just beautiful sometimes, well, often. I often hear myself saying words like 'cool', or 'awesome' out loud to myself as I read, obviously I don't share his breadth and depth of language.
By day the banished sun circles the earth like a grieving mother with a lamp – The Road
So I've compiled a little list of some of the discovered words from Outer Dark:
moiled – whirled or churned ceaselessly; twist; eddy.
penduluming: what a pendulum can be caught doing when it feels inclined to.
palmoutward- not a new word, he must have decided to run the two words together, just because he could.
malediction – the utterance of a curse.
recrements – refuse separated from anything; dross.
consubstantial -of one and the same substance, essence, or nature.
moonwraught – another lovely combo-word.
revenant – a person who returns as a spirit after death; ghost.
My two favourite words at present would have to plinth and moist, just for the way they sound when you say them.
McCarthy is rarely interviewed, avoids book tours or signings, and said about this:
I don't think it's good for your head, you spend a lot of time thinking about how to write a book, you probably shouldn't be talking about it. You probably should be doing it.
Do you have favourite words, or authors whose use of language you find inspiring?
Authors, Books, Historical Fiction, Language, Movies, One off the shelf, WritersAuthors, Books, Fiction, History, Language, Movies, words


Bangladesh Bank sees the ongoing political turmoil as a major threat to the economy as the country's longest blockade in about two decades is disrupting economic activities and putting investors at bay.
"The central bank is concerned as disruptions from political unrest have reemerged, casting [a] shadow on expectations [of achieving the projected GDP growth]," said BB Governor Atiur Rahman.
"I earnestly hope that peace and calm will return soon, enabling realisation of the growth prospects projected earlier," he said while releasing the Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) for the second half of the 2014-15 fiscal year.
"Even as Bangladesh economy's resilience against debacles is well known, overcoming from the prevailing disruptive situation is of extreme urgency for maintaining the growth momentum and poverty decline," he added.
The MPS projected between 6.5 and 6.8 percent GDP growth in the current fiscal year, on the basis of dynamism in investments and productive activities in the first half of the fiscal.
It said imports have recovered from growth sluggishness of the past couple of years. The current account balance has turned from surplus to deficit, from pick up in imports mainly of capital machinery and production inputs.
The BB governor said the welcome trend of recovery in the first half of the fiscal boosted hopes that the FY2015 GDP growth would significantly exceed the projections.
"When the economy was leaping forward, it hit the barricade [political unrest]. Everybody needs to keep in mind that economic advancement is connected with the fate of crores of working class people and the growing number of entrepreneurs," said the governor.
Deputy Governor Shitangshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury said investors took "a wait-and-see approach" in the first four months of the current fiscal year.
"In the following two months, investors had started to come back with plans to invest, shaking off their concerns. But the political situation took a sudden turn and dampened their enthusiasm," he said.
Bangladesh's economy has been doing remarkably well in the last one decade, but the latest spate of political unrest has put a brake on it, preventing the country from tapping its full economic potential, the MPS states.
The ongoing blockade, longest since 1996, began on January 6 after the government denied the BNP and its allies permission to hold rallies to protest at the 2014 parliamentary elections they had boycotted.
The blockade is costing the country over Tk 2,277 crore every day, according to Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a leading trade body.

Update to Explore Atlas Shrugged
Posted by Diana Hsieh on 5 April 2011 at 9:00 am	Explore Ayn Rand
For some time, I've been meaning to update my materials on Explore Atlas Shrugged. With the release of the movie on April 15th, I've realized that I need to do that… pronto!
Here's what I plan to do — hopefully with the help of your pledges:
Update the questions for each section, making them more clear, focused, and engaging.
Revise and post the extra questions from my database.
Add the break points in e-book and audiobook editions for each session.
Create nicely-formatted PDFs for each of the 20 sessions, as well as text versions to be easily copied into e-mails.
Write a guide to creating and managing an Atlas Shrugged Reading Group, including recommendations on group size, venues, finding members, solving common problems, and more.
Create questions and other resources for a three-session Atlas Shrugged Reading Group suitable for a book club or stand-alone group.
Create a list of local Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups for people interested in joining one.
Re-organize and improve the Explore Atlas Shrugged web site.
Promote Explore Atlas Shrugged with Facebook and Google ads. (Those ads will be funded by your pledges.)
That's going to be quite a bit of work for me! I expect it to take about 60 to 80 hours of my time, meaning that I'll have to make it my primary focus for the whole of April. I'm determined to finish the work by the end of April, but I'll roll out as much as possible by April 15th.
If you've benefitted from my podcasts and questions for Explore Atlas Shrugged — or if you'd simply like such material available for readers of the novel — I'd ask that you support this work by your pledges. As usual, you choose your pledge amount, and you don't pay anything unless the work is done. (I'll send an invoice when the work is complete and payment is due.)
Also, you might also think of your pledge for this update as payment for my past work on this project. I created and published the questions and podcasts for Explore Atlas Shrugged without any compensation — yet each one required about 20 to 40 hours to produce. Yes, that's about 600 hours total time spent on the project!
Of course, I didn't ask anyone to pay for that work at the time: I'd not yet invented the pledge model, and I didn't want charge for access to the materials. So nobody owes me anything for that: I'm not demanding payment. Nonetheless, if you appreciate the work I did to create those resources — and make them freely available — then I'd happily accept any pledge on that basis.
I'll leave the pledge form open until Friday, April 29th at noon. That's my final deadline for delivering these updates, but I expect to have much done and posted before April 15th.
Notably, due to the fast-approaching April 15th release of the movie, I plan to make these updates, even if I don't receive much in the way of pledges. But I hope that doesn't happen, as that would be so disheartening! Also, then I wouldn't have much of a budget for advertising on Facebook and Google.
So… please pledge! If you have any ideas for further updates, please put them in the comments of the pledge form. If I like the idea, I'll do it!
Update: If you would prefer to "tip" me more directly for past work done for Explore Atlas Shrugged, rather than pledge for this update, you can do that via PayPal:
If you would prefer to send a check, please send it to "Diana Hsieh; P.O. Box 851; Sedalia, CO 80135." Please write "Explore AS" in the memo field. Thank you!

AGM-12B Bullpup A
DAYTON, Ohio - The AGM-12B Bullpup A missile on display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo)
Martin AGM-12B Bullpup A
Developed in the 1950s, the Bullpup became the first successful guided tactical air-to-ground missile used by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. The radio-guided, rocket-propelled Bullpup missile could accurately hit a small, heavily-defended target like a bridge. The pilot tracked two flares on the back and guided it to the target with a small control stick. This method allowed the pilot to use a Bullpup from a safer, "standoff" distance.
The AGM-12B had a 250-lb warhead, making it light enough for many different types of aircraft to carry. However, the small explosive proved too small to destroy more substantial targets. Also, the guidance system required a pilot to fly in a straight line to keep a constant watch on the Bullpup A, which increased the threat from antiaircraft defenses. It was carried on U.S. Air Force F-100, F-105 and F-4 aircraft.
Maximum speed: Mach 1.8 (1,365 mph)
Range: 7 miles
Propulsion: Thiokol (Reaction Motors) LR58-RM-4 liquid-fuel rocket motor of 12,000 lbs. thrust

Gaddafi is dead. We must now forget him
Alaa al-Ameri
We now have the task of rebuilding Libya until there is no sign that Gaddafi or his parasitic family and entourage ever existed
Thu 20 Oct 2011 11.45 EDT First published on Thu 20 Oct 2011 11.45 EDT

Gaddafi is dead. What does one say about a man who spent his life speaking but saying nothing? What need for remembrance is there for someone who has already burned his wrinkled face into the memories of the millions he brutalised?
It is not a tragedy that he is dead, but it would have been more fitting to see him answer directly to the families of those he murdered.
It is important to understand the conditions and mistakes that allowed him to come to power. It is vital to unearth all the crimes by which he held power for so long. It is essential to provide some level of comfort and closure for his victims and their families.
But of the man himself? He achieved nothing, killed many in the process and deserves to be forgotten.
There will be some who will attempt to construct and maintain some fictional memory of him as a brave "anti-imperialist". That's of no real significance. They can have him.
The task now is for those who suffered under him to rebuild the country he vandalised and ultimately tried to destroy. For every life he took, for every future he stole, we must commit to rebuilding not just our country, but our whole society to such a standard that when we're finished, there will be no evidence that he or his parasitic family and entourage ever existed.
Those who truly deserve remembrance today are those who resisted him throughout the decades and gave their lives for us to have this opportunity. Those who were publicly hanged on makeshift gallows or snatched from their homes, murdered and dumped in mass graves. Those who were driven into exile, only to be followed there by death squads. Most fittingly of all, it is time to remember the ordinary men and women who stood up in February 2011 against unspeakable odds to make their voices heard and tell Muammar that his time was up.
Gaddafi's brutal response was accompanied by a jeering phrase, delivered with characteristic pomposity: "Who are you?!"
He promised to flush out his opponents "street by street, alleyway by alleyway".
He needn't have bothered. The more he killed, the more he threatened, the more they came out to meet him and show him exactly who they were.
Gaddafi's rule was characterised by a concerted effort to subjugate and divide the Libyan people for his own benefit. In the end it was the unity and spirit of these same people that led to his downfall. He kept the country underdeveloped and forced people to struggle for their daily livelihoods despite the country's wealth.
The only fitting way to mark his death is for the country to now rise to its potential. If we don't, if we descend into infighting and disorder, if we allow the misuse of the country's wealth, then it will be as if he never left.
Killing him is not enough. We have to forget him. To do that we have to expunge his influence from every aspect of our lives. Only then can we be free of him.

SPOUSES CRISOSTOMO MEDINA and AURORA MEDINA, Petitioners, v. THE COURT OF APPEALS, MASANTOL RURAL BANK, INC., THE SPOUSES REMIGIO LOBO and AIDA LOBO, Respondents.
Herminio M. Surla, for Petitioners.
Venancio M. Viray for Respondents.
1.	REMEDIAL LAW; SPECIAL CIVIL ACTION; FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS; CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY A RURAL BANK; PURPOSE. — Section 222 of the Central Bank's Revised Rules and Regulations, as amended by CB Circular No. 502, dated February 2, 1976, prescribes five (5) conditions or guidelines for the sale of property acquired by a rural bank through foreclosure proceedings. They are: (1) that it must be sold through a public auction; (2) that there should be prior publication of notice of the sale; (3) that there should be posting of said notices in designated places; and (4) the 30 days' notice be given to the former owner and to the Central Bank's Department of Rural Banks. The laudable purpose of the rule is to give the former owner of the foreclosed property a second chance to reacquire it, to enable the Bank to receive the best price the property will command in an open market, and, possibly, also to eliminate the manipulation of the sale for the private benefit of some officers of the bank. The formulation of the rule lies well within the Monetary Board's power of supervision over the operation of rural banks (Sec. 10, Rural Bank's Act), hence, it is a valid regulation.
2.	CIVIL LAW; LAND REGISTRATION; FAILURE TO ANNOTATE ADVERSE CLAIM; PURCHASERS ACQUIRE PROPERTY FREE FROM ANY ENCUMBRANCE; SALE NOT INVALIDATED. — The petitioners failed to annotate on the Bank's title an adverse claim or memorandum of their right under Section 222 of CB Circular No. 502 dated February 2, 1976, as former owners of the property, to notice of any intended disposition thereof by the Bank so that those who are about to deal with the property may be cautioned that the same is subject to their claim (Ty Sin Tsi v. Lee Dy Piao, L-11371, May 28, 1958). As no such memorandum or claim was annotated on the Bank's title, the buyers Remigio and Aida Lobo acquired the property free from any, except statutory, claims (Sec. 44, P.D. No. 1529). They are purchasers in good faith and for value. The Bank's non-compliance with the Revised Rules and Regulations of the Central Bank does not invalidate the sale of the land to them nor affect the indefeasibility of the title which they acquired thereunder.
The property was sold on October 6, 1978 for P8,120.74 to the Bank as the lone bidder at the foreclosure sale. The sheriff's Certificate of Sale which was issued on October 7, 1978 expressly provided that "the redemption period will expire after the lapse of one (1) year from the date of its registration in the Registry of Deeds, San Fernando, Pampanga" (Exh. "5"). It was registered eight (8) months later, on June 5, 1979, in the Registry of Deeds of Pampanga (Exh. "5-A").
At this point, the evidence of the parties vary.
Petitioner Aurora Medina alleged that on August 11, 1979, or within the one year redemption period, she offered to redeem the property and the bank manager computed her obligation "in the sum of P9,007.64 as of August 11, 1979" (Exh. "B"), but the bank president refused to allow the redemption "due to his ill-feeling" toward her (par. 10, Complaint).
More than a year later, or on August 28, 1981, the Bank sold the property for P20,000.00 to the spouses Remigio and Aida Lobo (Exh. "11"). The tax declaration was transferred in the name of the vendees (Exh. "11-A") and the realty taxes for 1981 were paid by them (Exh. "10-C").
On September 10, 1981, the petitioners filed an action for "Annulment of Consolidation of Ownership, Redemption, and Damages" in the Regional Trial Court of Macabebe, Pampanga, Branch LIV. The complaint was dismissed by the trial court. On Appeal, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of dismissal.
Petitioners' other contention, that the redemption period was "extended" by the Bank, has no leg to stand on except Mrs. Medina's uncorroborated and self-serving statement that she was assured by the Bank manager, Fortunato Ignacio, that she and her husband "can surely redeem the property" but that they had to wait for the President and the Cashier of the respondent Bank," who have an ax to grind against her, to cool down." Ignacio allegedly advised them to" just wait" for his call as he would summon them when they could redeem the property (Petition, p. 12, Rollo). Those allegations were, however, denied by Ignacio, and it is only Mrs. Medina's word against his. The Statute of Frauds requires a written memorandum of such as agreement, if any, in order that it may be enforceable against the Bank, involving as it does immovable property (Art. 1403 (2) (e), New Civil Code).
"Sec. 222.	Assets Acquired in Settlement of Loans. The amount of the claim against the borrower (which shall include the balance of loan in litigation, litigation expenses and interest due up to the date of foreclosure) shall be charged to this account when the property is acquired by the bank at auction sale, whether through judicial foreclosure or extrajudicial sale. The transfer in the bank's books shall be made when the award is given to the bank.
"If the acquired property is sold thereafter, any amount in excess of the redemption price is treated as income (Other Earnings); if below cost, as expenses (Other Operating Expenses).
The Bank's counsel, Fortunato Ignacio, admitted that no prior notice of the sale to the Lobo spouses was given to the petitioners. Was that omission fatal to the sale?
WHEREFORE, the petition for review is denied. No costs.

Reviving the Utopian Urban Dreams of Tony Garnier
During the four years he lived at Rome's Villa Medici as a recipient of the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome, Tony Garnier spent hardly any time on the study of isolated ancient monuments, as was required. Instead, the young architect from Lyon, France, focused his energy from 1899 to 1903 on what would later become his theoretical chef d'oeuvre: a utopian plan for an industrial city.
"If our structure remains simple, without ornament, without molding, bare everywhere, we can then dispose of the decorative arts in all their forms," he wrote in Une Cité Industrielle (An Industrial City), published as a book in 1917. The book is a detailed collection of avant-garde designs for a socialist city of 35,000 people. This hypothetical city is heavily industrialized and zoned, divided according to four functions: housing, work, leisure, and health. Garnier advocated for the use of concrete in building, as well as the importance of greenery, natural light, and collective social amenities.
An Industrial City was a bridge between the utopian socialism of Charles Fourier and the Garden City idea of Ebenezer Howard, on one side, and Modernist city planning on the other.

In 1919, Garnier received a letter from a young admirer named Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, who had just encountered An Industrial City. "It is a milestone clearly delimiting a past period and opening up all possible hopes… In ten years, [your book] will be the foundation of all production and be the first rallying sign," he wrote.
Today, Garnier is not nearly as well known outside of France as Jeanneret (or Le Corbusier). But "one could say that Garnier is to Lyon what Antoni Gaudí is to Barcelona," said Catherine Chambon, director of the Tony Garnier Urban Museum, an open-air museum devoted to the architect in Lyon, France's second-largest city. There's not a neighborhood in the city where his presence isn't felt.
This year and into 2020, the city is celebrating the 150th anniversary of Garnier's birth. The Tony Garnier Urban Museum has put up an exhibit; the municipal archives has, too, focusing on the fruitful professional relationship between Garnier and former Mayor Edouard Herriot. The city's Renaud Foundation will display Garnier's paintings, drawings, plans, and photographs.
Garnier, a son of canuts or workers in the silk industry, was born in the working-class Croix-Rousse neighborhood of Lyon on August 13, 1869. Growing up in modest conditions where people worked and lived in the same space led Garnier to consider the social aspect of housing from an early age.
His youth also coincided with a crisis in the textile industry. Small workshops shuttered to make way for big, mechanized factories. With these economic changes came pulmonary illnesses, to which he lost his mother and two aunts. Sanitation and hygiene came to assume great importance in municipal projects during Garnier's tenure as city architect.
Schooling was not compulsory at the time, but Garnier's father insisted on educating him. He revealed himself to be a talented student and made it to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After spending four years on scholarship in Rome and one year traveling around the Mediterranean, Garnier returned to his home city. The mayor, Victor Augagneur, gave Garnier his first assignment in 1905: the construction of a municipal dairy. Augagneur then warmly recommended Garnier to his successor, Edouard Herriot.
It is impossible to talk about Garnier's work without mentioning his decades-long collaboration with Herriot. "Here is a visionary architect dedicated to social progress. And here's a radical socialist mayor, who has great ambitions for his city in terms of health and housing. They didn't see eye to eye on all subjects, obviously, but their ideas about Lyon's future converged," said Chambon.
Garnier completed about 80 projects over his career, most of them in Lyon. Herriot commissioned what are now seen as hallmarks of the city's architecture: the popular Halle Tony Garnier, which was originally built as a cattle market and slaughterhouse; the Grange Blanche Hospital, now known as the Edouard Herriot Hospital; and a stadium, the Stade de Gerland.

One afternoon in Lyon this past July, Elodie Morel, who works for GrandLyon Habitat, a social-housing management company, pointed me to a five-story building. "Come up," she said. We visited a sunny two-bedroom apartment with a balcony, overlooking an open space planted with trees. We were at Cité Tony Garnier—a housing estate of 1,500 apartments with 3,000 residents in the Etats-Unis neighborhood.
In the early 20th century, this part of Lyon was neglected, so "the municipality decided to use it for a public housing project for workers in factories nearby," said Morel. Garnier, an established architect by then, was hired for the job, and finished the estate in 1933. It was a model of social housing with the latest comforts. Every apartment had running water, a gas connection and a toilet, luxuries that were hard to come by in working-class neighborhoods at the time. For the sake of convenience, each building was standardized with only one type of apartment—one, two, three, or four bedrooms—and the buildings were organized in islands served by a network of orthogonal streets and courtyards.
This new district was as close as Garnier came to his ideal city. "However, he could not include all the public amenities he envisaged, such as a swimming pool and a library," Chambon noted. "The habitation was also more dense [than he initially planned], owing to economic constraints between the two wars."
Toward the end of the 20th century, Garnier's legacy was forgotten even in the housing complex that bears his name. The specter of demolition also loomed, because the buildings were run-down. Long-time residents got together and decided to try to save the estate.
Elsewhere in Lyon, a group of young artists and architects had just established CitéCréation, an initiative to create large-scale urban murals, inspired by Diego Rivera's work in Mexico. Together, the residents of Cité Tony Garnier, the muralists, and OPAC du Grand Lyon, a social housing company, launched a major rehabilitation project in 1985. Today, there are 25 murals on building walls in the area, drawing thousands of tourists a year. Some of those murals showcase Garnier's visionary designs.
During a recent walking tour in the neighborhood organized by CitéCréation, a group stood in front of a huge mural. A car slowed down and a man told them: "I live here. I know about these murals." Other local residents share his pride in this chronicle of their history and homage to Garnier, who once wrote: "There is enough ideal in the worship of beauty and benevolence to render life splendid."

Sylvan water line a go
Red Deer City council has approved a water transmission line that will service the Town of Sylvan Lake.
The Sylvan Lake Regional Water Commission recently requested the City's support for the supply of City water to the Sylvan Lake regional communities.
This includes building a transmission line from the City to the Sylvan Lake area. City administration said the City's water treatment plant currently has capacity to accommodate the Sylvan Lake region demands.
Administration requested a number of requirements be added before consideration for approval. These include the water cannot be used for agriculture purposes, full costs of capital and operating needs are borne by the commission, the commission needs to obtain a license to draw from the Red Deer River and the City maintains operation of the existing treatment plants, among others.
Elaine Vincent, director of development services for the City, said regulatory approval of the treatment and transmission line could take anywhere between 12-18 months. She added the Town of Sylvan Lake will also begin to look for funding sources for the line and that Red Deerians will not see a financial impact of the new development.
Some questions were also raised by council in terms of how much can be drawn out of the Red Deer River.
"I do want to remind people that we have the only river with any capacity and we need to continue to be vigilant in terms of what we do," said Councillor Lynne Mulder. "We don't want to get too ahead of ourselves when we know there could be a lot of other 'asks' coming."
Vincent added in terms of the amount of water that can be drawn from the Red Deer River and with the request from Sylvan Lake, the City is no where near capacity.
"In fact, the Sylvan Lake request could almost be 10-fold of what it is before we even make a mark in terms of getting close to what those draw numbers are off the Red Deer River," said Vincent.
Councillor Dianne Wyntjes said working with neighbouring communities is always a positive thing. "I was pleased to see in our recommendation that we are including Sylvan Lake having ongoing water conservation programs and initiatives, similar to those that we have here in the City as well as recognizing that in case of inadequate water supply such as drought, failure or other causes the Sylvan line must restrict the customer use of water similar to what Red Deer does," she said.
"I appreciate that we are all in this together. We have one main river and many municipalities draw upon the Red Deer River for their water, of course Red Deer being the largest, and now we are expanding that."
Mayor Tara Veer said she was also in favour of the water transmission line.
"I think there are a couple of positives in this agreement – one is the cost of both the capital and operating will be borne by the commission and the Town of Sylvan Lake themselves," she said. "I also think from a regional perspective it does uphold our role as a regional hub particularly as we grow and because of our central positioning on the corridor and it is in alignment with our efforts to protect the watershed."
City council voted unanimously in favour of the water transmission line. Councillor Paul Harris was absent.

Riding for a cause


As space satellites orbit the earth on a regular basis and scientists find more sophisticated ways to splice genes, we are all faced with the responsiblity of reconciling the lengths to which technology must comply with morality. This book presents a variety of moral controversies of concern in this day and age of technological advancement. The contributors study a wide range of relevant topics such as: current technological development and the ethical inquiries it prompts; risk-cost benefit analysis and other assessment methods; freedom of information and national security, and university-corporate research agreements; national and international technology transfers; and, technology policy-making typologies. The current controversies examined draw from information, gene-splicing, health care, space, energy, and material technologies.

Q: What's the better-practice way to rotate a string by one character in Python? I'm doing a codecademy task and was wondering which of the following set of code is considered best practice:
The task is to create a function, given a string username , that shifts all letters one to the right.
For example the username : AbeSimp would become pAbeSim, this becomes the password and is stored in the string password.
Here is my code:
def password_generator(username):
    password = ""
    password = username[-1] + username[:-1]
    return password

The Solution code is :
def password_generator(username):
    password = ""
    for i in range(0, len(user_name)):
       password += user_name[i-1]
    return password

Any explanation is appreciated - thanks!

A: IMO the best-practice version of this would be:
def password_generator(username: str) -> str:
    """Generate a terrible password by rotating the username."""
    return username[-1] + username[:-1]

Get rid of dead code.  Don't make an assignment you're going to overwrite.  Don't use a loop where a slice will do.  And if a variable isn't going to be used more than one place (e.g. in a return statement), no point even giving it a name IMO.

A: Your code is fine. I am wondering where would you get that solution, which doesn't seem to be correct in terms of efficiency or syntactically. As there additional complexity of for-loop involved.

A: I get what you are asking i think I just have the code that you need.
from random import shuffle

def password_generator(username):
    username = list(username)
    shuffle(username)
    return ''.join(username)
print(password_generator('THIS-IS-USERNAME'))

the output I got is:
SNE--SSHIATIRMEU

Process finished with exit code 0

It changed THIS-IS-USERNAME to SNE--SSHIATIRMEU
hope this helps you

Manchester School of Art / Events / The Harmonic Oscillator and Critical Care
The Harmonic Oscillator and Critical Care
With Vic McEwan and Clive Parkinson
10.15am—12.30pm
A rare opportunity to hear the Australian contemporary artist Vic McEwan discussing his collaboration with director of Arts for Health, Clive Parkinson. Over the last three years, McEwan has spent time visiting the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, Alder Hey where he has been given unprecedented access to much of the hospital in an exploration of its sonic environment producing a body of work collectively called The Harmonic Oscillator. Parkinson has quietly observed McEwan throughout this project, writing a reflective account on the nature of artists working in places of trauma, and an unfolding story of some of the more profound moments in arts and health. His work, Critical Care offers a deeper sense of community, and a richer narrative of the place of culture and the arts within a health context. This work was launched at The Big Anxiety Festival in Sydney this October. Festival Director Professor Jill Bennett describes this collaborative research as 'one of those field-defining projects...in a class of its own'.
This free public event is a mixture of performance and presentation and the UK launch of Critical Care alongside the Harmonic Oscillator EP with 4 compositions created from sounds recorded at Alder Hey. There are very limited seats available for this event, and please note that this presentation discusses some sensitive issues around illness and trauma, and the families of those affected by the work will be in attendance.
Further details and tickets are available on EventBrite.

Is Finn A Jedi? The 'Star Wars' Character Has Fans Asking Questions
By Ani Bundel
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, like any good opener for a trilogy, left fans with as many questions as it did answers. We learned what happened to Han and Leia, we met their son Ben. We found Luke Skywalker, and we have an idea of what made him self-exile. But we still don't know what happened exactly that turned Ben Solo into Kylo Ren. We don't know who Rey's parents are, or if she will follow the path of the Jedi. We also have questions about Finn. Is Finn a Jedi? It certainly seemed like he might be at least Force-sensitive when he picked up that lightsaber and faced down Kylo Ren.
Perhaps a better question is: "Will Finn become a Jedi?" Being a Force-sensitive person does not automatically confer Jedihood upon a person. Anakin wasn't a Jedi when he pod-raced around the track. He had to be trained. Same with Luke. His leaving Master Yoda before his training was complete meant that he was always a Jedi with an asterisk next to it. Leia never trained in the movies (though she did in the now-defunct expanded universe novels.) Technically, she's not a Jedi either. There's only one Jedi right now in the Star Wars universe, and he's "The Last Jedi" until further notice: Luke Skywalker.
John Boyega also pointed out to Digital Spy that being a hero in this universe doesn't require Jedi training.
There are loads more stronger characters in the Star Wars universe that can go up against Jedi and they don't necessarily have to be a Jedi. I think it would be more interesting if they had more than one person be a Jedi – but I think that that is the one of the unspoken laws of Star Wars. They only have one who has to go away and train.
We know that Rey is going to find Luke in order to deal with all these Force sensitive feelings she's having. She wants answers, and more importantly, she wants training. She wants to be a Jedi.
Luke, as we've seen from the trailers, will at first refuse her. Though where that leads, we don't know. Perhaps Luke will acquiesce to train Rey, before renegging and wigging out and going all unreliable Luke on her. But would he be interested in training any one beyond her?
On the whole, it's doubtful. But I don't think the universe cares two figs what Luke wants. There are quite a surprising number of force-sensitive individuals in our cast. Poe Dameron, for instance, according to the backstory the comics have given him, was raised with Force trees in his backyard, and his exposure to them is why he's such an amazing pilot.
Finn also has shown quite a few signs of Force sensitivity. His instant bonding with other Force-sensitive individuals, including Poe, Rey and Han Solo, gives us a sign. There's also his instinct to stand up to Kylo Ren. And of course, his abilities with a light saber.
Lavar Ball on YouTube
So, will we see Finn get trained along with Rey? Or perhaps instead of Rey, if she abandoned Luke and goes to train with Kylo Ren and the Dark Side? Could we see Luke decide to train someone who is not Rey?
Or perhaps, Finn and Poe are meant to be the generation that will pick up the pieces. If Rey does come out of the other side in the final movie and rejoins the light (and maybe bring Kylo Ren with her), they will be looking for another generation of warriors to train. Perhaps they will look to train them as Jedis, or perhaps they will train them as something new altogether, leaving the past behind and creating warriors that embrace both the Dark and the Light.
But whatever happens, we have a feeling that so many Force-sensitive characters running around isn't a coincidence. Finn (and his buddy Poe) still have large roles to play in the saga. We have a feeling we haven't seen the last time Finn will draw out a light saber and stand and fight.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in theaters everywhere on Friday, Dec. 15, 2017.
