Barnacles from space?
Part of a space rocket has been recovered from the Atlantic Ocean near the Scilly Isles. It was from a launch vehicle carrying cargo to the International Space Station and large chunks fell to Earth after the rocket exploded [1]. The pieces that were recovered had coverings of goose barnacles (above and also below left) and those with a very fanciful imagination may conclude that these were carried back to Earth from somewhere in the planet's atmosphere, or beyond. However, the story of their colonisation is not the stuff of science fiction, but nonetheless fascinating.
We are all familiar with acorn barnacles (above right) from our walks along coasts. Millions of the crustaceans coat the surface of rocks, often giving them a creamy-white appearance, but fewer people have seen their relatives, the stalked goose barnacles, like those found on the pieces of space rocket. They can be seen on many shores during low spring tides and they are familiar to those who own boats and ships, where their presence causes a reduction in performance, so that hulls need to be cleaned of barnacles from time to time. To prevent such colonisation, the hull may be treated with anti-fouling paints containing metals that deter the attachment of barnacles, or even have a covering of copper sheets that fulfils the same purpose. The latter was a feature of the fastest tea clipper ships.
Barnacles do not colonise surfaces as adults, but as larvae. The adults are hermaphrodite and shed both sperm and eggs into the sea where fertilisation occurs. The first stage larva that hatches from the fertilised egg is called a nauplius (A, above) and this transforms into a cypris larvae (B, above). Both stages are free-swimming and are carried by currents, often very far from the adults that produced them. The oceans contain enormous numbers of larval stages of many familiar creatures, in addition to barnacle larvae, yet most of us would be hard pressed to identify them as they are so unlike the adults. Limbs are used both for locomotion and feeding and barnacle larvae capture tiny particles of various kinds that are then passed to the mouthparts and swallowed.
If cypris larvae are washed on to a shore, or to any other solid surface, a remarkable series of events takes place. The first is that the larva cements itself to the substratum (different types of adhesive being used across the spectrum of barnacle taxa [2]) and calcareous plates are secreted to begin the process of conversion to the familiar adult form. The process of transformation has been described by Calman [3]:
..after a series of nauplius stages the larva passes suddenly, at a single moult, into a stage in which the body and limbs are enclosed in a bivalved shell.. ..this is known as the cypris stage. Through the valves of the shell a large pair of compounds eyes can be seen, as well as six pairs of two-branched swimming feet, while in front a pair of antennules projects between the valves. On each antennule is a sucker-like disc by means of which the larva, after swimming freely for some time, attaches itself to a stone or some other object, where it remains fixed for the rest of its life. A cementing substance produced by a gland at the base of the antennules attaches the front part of the head firmly to the support; the valves of the shell are cast off, and replaced by rudimentary valves of the adult shell; the six pairs of swimming feet grow out into tendril-like cirri; the compound eyes disappear, and the animal assumes the structure of the adult.
Acorn barnacles and goose barnacles feed using the cirri on their legs, these limbs no longer being required for swimming. Acorn barnacles use the legs to sweep the cirri through an aperture between the shell plates and captured particles of a wide variety are then transferred to the mouthparts, in a similar way to that employed by the larvae. In goose barnacles, the cirri are static, or nearly so, and feeding is from currents or, in the case of moving objects, the water that passes over them. Unlike their smaller relatives, goose barnacles also capture small planktonic animals and the cirri close around these to prevent their escape. To enhance access to currents, goose barnacles have developed a peduncle, or stalk, that is muscular and covered with a strong cuticle. It grows intermittently [4] and those familiar with the cuisine of Portugal will know the structure well after eating a plateful of percebes (see recipe here [5]) and below a video from Gordon Ramsay:
Goose barnacles are not able to exist for long out of water but acorn barnacles certainly can, as they have calcareous plates that close off the aperture of the "shell" when the cirri are withdrawn. That is why we see them so readily on the shore when the tide is out. Some forms are so high on the shore that they only become submerged at the highest tides, remaining exposed to the air for days, showing how effective the closing plates are at preventing water loss. Altogether, barnacles are most remarkable animals and it is little wonder that they so intrigued Charles Darwin [6].
The basis for the structure and complex life history of these crustaceans is encoded in the barnacle's genes. Repeating a question here that I often asked students: "How do you think the structure and development evolved?" Anyone like to venture a guess as to the stages in the evolution of the life history of barnacles and their way of life?

Yes - "Sweetness"
Yes Sweetness
GUITAR/VOCALS: nsw1-6
A grandiose ballad from the first Yes album, "Sweetness" was also selected as the group's first ever single - an "absolutely ludicrous" idea, insists guitarist Pete Banks, and one that only exacerbated the group's belief that Atlantic didn't have a clue what the band was all about. "I presume the idea was to make Yes the next Bee Gees," he continued, before adding that, Jon Anderson aside, the rest of the band weren't even that keen on the song in the first place. Period reviews were no more encouraging - one English paper described the performance as "pretty, almost sugary, and unlikely to happen," and the single was indeed a flop. However, Anderson's vocals are outstanding, as wistful and delicate as the lyric, and supported by what were already shaping up to be the trademark "classic Yes" harmonies. The band, too, are lushly understated, and "Sweetness" has since emerged among the very best of Yes' early recordings.

Ramon Zayas and Christian Cazares join Telemundo Philadelphia
As you know Telemundo Philadelphia has been going through tremendous (and great) changes. They recently announced hiring 15 new positions; but now three have been taken. According to MediaBistro.com, "Telemundo Philadelphia has made two key hires ahead of the launch of local newscasts next year: Claribel Collazo joins the station as assistant news director and Ramon Zayas (pictured) has been named 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. anchor." Zayas is no stranger to Telemundo; he comes from Miami, where he has been the anchor of "Un Nuevo Dia" since 2011. A familiar face will definitely help with the first months of ratings.
And just recently announced, reporter Christian Cazares is leaving KVVU-TV in Las Vegas, NV to join Telemundo Philadelphia. Although he won't be an anchor, he'll be one of many new reporters for the local owned-and-operated station. The moves come months after the Telemundo Station Group completed the acquisition of its Philadelphia affiliate, WWSI-TV, from ZGS Communications.

Buzzfeed launches en español
We live in a world where companies and media outlets are attempting to reach Latino audiences. And Buzzfeed is up next! No details about why but it's sort of self-explanatory. According to a Facebook post by Adrian Carasquillo, Buzzfeed Breaking News Reporter, "BuzzFeed Español is here, which means two things. Reaction badges like this that are perfect BUT ALSO if you prize your work productivity you might not want to head there."
In addition to articles in Spanish and some being translated, gotta love the reaction stickers! If you're an avid Buzzfeed reader you know these come with the brand loyalty. And they look even more amazing en español. The stickers include: JAJAJA, Genial, Dios Mio, Lindo, Fallo and WTF. Love the JAJA and WTF. They just make sense.
Will you be reading en español? In English? Or both?

VIDEO: Paranormal Activity cinco
Looks like the Paranormal Activity franchise has taken a leap of faith. Just when you expect for it to be over, they come back. The newest film titled Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones debuts January 2014 and is a spin off centered around a Latino family in California. Hispanic Marketing much? The movie attempts to bring it back to the original films as well. Somehow the spirits also reach other families. Another feature the franchise hosts is a social media campaign which includes posting a photo of paranormal activity in your town, include #TheMarkedOnes and tag the name of your city. The top city? Of course it's Los Angeles, CA. Not just because it's a high Latino population, but it's Hollywood for goodness sake.
Are you looking forward to the film or tired of the franchise? I'm excited about it only because (I hope) it dives into the santeria world.

The Evolution of Leadership Within the [Philly] Puerto Rican community
If you're into Puerto Rican history, then don't miss out on Taller Puertorriqueño's upcoming Meet the Author Series: The Evolution of Leadership Within the Puerto Rican Community. Ariel Arnau will be discusing his article, The Evolution of Leadership Within the Puerto Rican Community of Philadelphia, 1950s-1970s. This presentation discusses the generational change in community leadership and the conflicts over control in Philadelphia's Puerto Rican community.
During my nine years in Philadelphia I met great leaders in the community. Most of Philly's Latino community is Puerto Rican which coincides with their leadership. I definitely learned a lot and just like any industry or community, it's changing and every growing. For example, making history in November 2007 with nearly 80% of the vote, with tremendous grassroots and community support, Councilwoman Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez, became the first Puerto Rican/Latino elected to a district City Council seat and the first Latina to serve on the Philadelphia City Council. And it doesn't stop there. Philadelphia is booming with young Latino leaders.
Mr. Arnau is a graduate student at the CUNY Graduate Center working on a PhD in history. He currently teaches Latin American Studies at Temple University. Click here to read the article in advance.

After 16 years, Colombia returns to the World Cup
Yep. The last time the Colombian National Soccer Team qualified to the World Cup was the 1998 championship in France. An article in Latino Fox News states it best, "Colombia's national soccer team pulled off an improbable comeback in World Cup qualifying, turning a 0-3 deficit against Chile into a 3-3 draw to book a spot in Brazil in 2014."
In just 240 days, the World Cup travels to Brazil in 12 cities. Brazil and Spain seem to be the favorite. The last time the famous team won the World Cup was in 2002 in Korea/Japan. According to my dad, Brazil needs to do what France did in 1998...cheat. No one can obviously prove this but money and the sport seem to go hand in hand. The World Cup will travel to Russia in 2018 and then Quatar in 2022. Yes. Quatar. The United States was a runner up for both years.

Telemundo Philadelphia growing with 15 new positions
As we all know the local Telemundo affiliate in Philadelphia (WWSI) was purchased by the Telemundo Network making it an owned and operated station. This means more money will be put not the station and the creation of a local news program.
Just announced less than a month ago, the station is planning on hiring 15 people in preparation for the launch of local newscasts next year. The station is hiring 15 people in a variety of roles, including reporter, producer, anchor and photographer. WWSI will launch high definition Spanish language newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m. beginning in January.
"We're looking for talented Spanish-speaking journalists who are passionate about delivering the Hispanic community the local news and information that is important and relevant in their lives," said Eric Lerner, President and General Manager of Telemundo Philadelphia and NBC10 Philadelphia. "This is a unique opportunity to play a role in the launch of a first-time newscast working for a company that is dedicated to serving our communities with quality journalism."
Previously working at Telemundo Philadelphia I will say it was an amazing experience. TV is not easy. It's fast-paced and you have to be ready when things are changing over and over. It was fun. Also very demanding, I'm sure being part of the network will have,ore demands. Philadelphia's growing Latino population will surely benefit from Telemundo's growing station.
The new employees will be part of NBCUniversal, a leading global media and entertainment company, and will enjoy a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. More information about the positions and the application process is available at www.nbcunicareers.com.

Miss America debuts "Celebrating Diversity Through Cultural Competency"
In case you didn't know, I absolutely love Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri. Crowned in Atlantic City on September 15, 2014, Nina has taken a huge stance on with a platform of diversity and cultural competency. And just recently launched a social media program for her personal platform, "Celebrating Diversity Through Cultural Competency." Nina has been working on these issues for several years and will now use her national platform to raise awareness. When Nina was crowned Miss America, the backlash began. And although she knew it would come since it happened when Nina was crowned Miss New York, she didn't let it faze her.
Nina is asking fans to forward representative thoughts and stories about their experiences on how we as a nation can advance cultural awareness. People can send information using the hashtag #CirclesOfUnity on Twitter to @MissAmerica, Instagram to @missamericaorg and to Facebook.com/MissAmericaOrganization.
Nina is also the first Miss America of Indian descent. Ironically there were various articles floating around stating Nina would be too dark to win Miss India. "She isn't the Miss America of ten years ago and she's not going to be the same ten years down the road," said Nina Davuluri. "I'm so thankful that children watching at home can relate to a new Miss America. They can look at me and see that they can break barriers, be who they are and be successful despite their race or socio-economic status. I want to use this opportunity to encourage positive dialogue among all Americans about the ways in which we are all unique and how that makes us stronger as a country."

Finnegans Wake is one of the hardest book to read by James Joyce. It's a book that is written in an unorthodox way, making use of absurd puns. Written in Paris at the span of seventeen years, this work of fiction comes with a multitude of word combinations that are sometimes almost impossible to understand. To prove that point, here are 25 Finnegans Wake quotes to melt your brain.
It's like rap, isn't it?
Ah, I wonder how long you can go through these quotes.
This is quite easy to get, right?
Can you still keep up?
This one speaks about someone's preferred places.
...We just need a professor who studies the book.
Another hard one to understand.
From there and back again.
For nomads doesn't keep track of time.
Faith is sick of fate.
Our tedious and repetitive life cycle.
Final one, hardest one on our collection of Finnegans Wake quotes.


The most common anxiety treatments in the UK are those used routinely within the NHS. Unfortunately, in an effort to treat more people, there has been a tendency in recent years for the focus to be on immediate reduction of symptoms rather than on teaching understanding and long-term cures.
I have explained elsewhere that in order to overcome anxiety problems for good, it is vital for the sufferer to understand and accept what's going on. They will then be able to put into practice what's needed to change.
Many sufferers need the mechanisms behind their anxiety explained to them by a professional. Nevertheless, there is much guidance available in books and on the web for those who wish to help themselves, some of it more reliable than others.
A general guideline to follow is that if you are going it alone, whatever you are doing shouldn't increase your anxiety in any way whilst you carry out the instructions. If it does then that approach is probably not suitable for you to use as a form of self help.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is accredited as an evidence-based therapy by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) whose guidelines are used within the NHS.
This means that there is recognised scientific evidence that it works in an experimental context.
When people undertake to overcome their anxieties using a CBT approach they are taught to recognise the unhelpful thoughts they have which trigger their anxieties and to challenge these thoughts and come to see them as irrational.
There are also some very good self help books explaining how to use CBT to overcome anxiety for anyone who wishes to do it for themselves.
Some people find this approach helpful. For others, however, the process of challenging creates more unease than it cures. For me this approach entails struggle. I prefer an easier, more comfortable approach.
The basis for EMDR was devised by Francine Shapiro, an American Psychologist. The idea developed from an experience she had whilst walking through a park in the late 1980's.
She had scary thoughts and found herself glancing around with a series of rapid eye movements. This, she noticed, helped reduce her negative feelings. Further research and experimentation resulted in EMDR therapy.
During EMDR treatment the patient holds a particular negative thought, image and feeling firmly in mind whilst carrying out various eye movements as instructed by the therapist.
EMDR is accredited by NICE in the UK (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) for treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is often effective for those who are not usually prone to anxiety but who have experienced a specific trauma. The patient has to imagine the scariest part of their experience as vividly as possible during the treatment and many patients are not able to bring themselves to do this. Thus it is not suitable for everyone but is effective for those who are prepared to do it.
Anxiety Medication is not my area of expertise as I am not medically qualified. I do, however, have many years' experience of treating clients psychologically whilst they are also being prescribed anti-anxiety medication.
Because of the way in which the survival instinct works and keeps reminding us of those instances where we have felt negative arousal, medication is unlikely to ever teach the survival instinct new habits. It is down to the individual to consciously change their own thinking habits.
Sometimes, however, especially in cases of severe PTSD or severe Acute Anxiety Disorder, the sufferer may be too distressed to be able to focus their thoughts usefully. In cases such as these anxiety medication is often helpful to lower their arousal levels so as to enable them to be able to think and engage with psychological therapy.
I have already mentioned that, when I had my own brief Acute Anxiety State, I used an occasional diazepam tablet but only after I'd done my best to apply different thinking techniques and failed.
I generally tried to never take medication when at home.
I advise people that, if they are going to take medication to control anxiety, they use the reduced arousal it gives to take charge of their thoughts and use the situation as a positive learning experience, a means of teaching yourself some of the better thinking habits which are needed for a full and permanent recovery.
As they recover, many sufferers like to carry a tablet of diazepam with them just in case they panic and lose control. I did this for many years. Just knowing you have it gives you the confidence to let go of your fears.
Another situation for which I often suggest a client might seek a prescription for diazepam from their doctor is if they have to do something out of the ordinary with which they feel unable to cope. A common instance is when a panic attack sufferer has to go to the dentist.
There is nothing wrong with taking a tablet for just that visit and then when at the dentist, applying any mind control techniques you have been taught. In this way you are using the calming power of the anxiety medication to help you learn a better approach. Eventually your survival instinct will then start to associate positive thoughts and feelings with being at the dentist instead of the negative ones, and gradually you will be able to do it without the medication.
Diazepam is a wonderful tool in the treatment of anxiety disorders but it must be used alongside psychological therapy if it is to be beneficial. It can't be taken on a regular basis as it is addictive.


He was the son of the legendary Texas oilman H.L. Hunt. And he must have inherited some of his father's wildcat genes. He took risks in far flung places like Pakistan and Libya and raked in a fortune without benefit of his father's money. And he was one of the world's first billionaires.
He was also on the Board of Directors of the International Linguistics Center (ILC) in Dallas. And that is where I come in. ILC sits on 110 acres in SW Dallas at the top of an escarpment and has a great view. And it is here that the Summer Institute of Linguistics and the Wycliffe Bible Translators built their international headquarters.
The founder of Wycliffe, Cameron Townsend had a genius for involving local people and through the efforts of Rudy Renfer (initially) a board was assembled composed of leading Christian businessmen in Dallas with the task of raising the funds to build the buildings for this Center. When I came to Dallas in the spring of 1972 to attend seminary, ground was being broken for the first building, a dorm, and I was offered a job in construction on that site. I declined and took a job with H.B. Zachary and poured cement all summer (good learning experiences often comes from bad choices—it was a very hot, hard summer).
And over the years that board, as well as friends of those board members, along with others, built the 16 or so buildings that now comprise this campus. In 1991, after a 4 year term in Kenya, I was invited to join the staff of the development department of ILC, headed up by Tom Werkema.
We got situated in our home in Duncanville in July and by mid-August of 1991 I was in my seat learning what I needed to learn about fundraising and more particularly about the project we were attempting to fund at the time. This was the new administrative building (now called the Key Building), a 50,000 sq. ft. building being built, for the most part by Wycliffe Associates who use willing volunteer workers to do construction around the world to advance Bible translation. The task was to raise $2.5 million and about half of that was already raised.
A glance down the roster of the ILC Board members would impress anyone familiar with business leaders in Dallas. And from the outset Bunker Hunt was by far the most famous and without a doubt the wealthiest.
After I had been in place about two weeks, Tom announces one morning that it was time for me to meet all the board members. And in the next month we visited most of them where he introduced me as his newest staff person. The first Board member Tom had me meet (and the most memorable because of what eventuated) was Bunker Hunt.
Our appointment was for 2 PM. The building was one of the high rises downtown. We were zipped 30 floors up and let ourselves in the door of his office (which had a number on it but no company name anywhere). The receiving area was outsized, perhaps 30 feet by 30 feet with several offices off of it. There were a few chairs, comfortable, but not plush. No secretary to be seen anywhere. Decor was minimalist and pretty plain. I was surprised that the office of one of the richest men in the world had absolutely no visible indication of wealth, power or influence–no large Persian carpet, no wall of pictures of him with the rich and famous, no Monets or Picassos on the wall. Just…very plain.
At 2:15 or so Bunker Hunt, a man larger than life and, in fact, quite large, came out and waved us into his office. It was a corner office with a great view, but rather small (perhaps 15 by 15 or so). And again, no pictures, no hand woven carpet, nothing. Just plain.
I guess he was listening after all.
The next question was, "What do you know about Sudan?" And I asked what did he want to know? He wanted to know something about the history of it. Being an avid reader and having a considerable amount of free time when we were in Khartoum I had read anything I could get my hands on about the country I was going to live in for the foreseeable future.
For the next ten minutes (he was no longer drowsy) I gave a brief history lesson about the country, the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium (a somewhat unusual governing arrangement that lasted from 1899 to the end of 1955 at which point Sudan received its independence). I gave a quick overview of topography, the division of north and south Sudan and the constant state of conflict between the north and south (divided by race, religion, language and topography).
When I was done Mr. Hunt just sat there. Thinking. Mulling something over. And then, squinting slightly he leaned forward in his chair, lowered his voice a bit and said, "I think I can trust you boys with the information I am about to divulge since you are not in the oil business." He then went on to detail how he and a few partners were on the verge of buying out Chevron's oil concession and interests in Sudan for "pennies on the dollar".
Here I was, a linguist, a Bible guy, with no business experience whatsoever being asked by one of the world's wealthiest oil men about a business deal in Sudan.
I gave him my home phone number.
Several days later I got a call about 6 PM. It was Mr. Hunt and his five partners. I gave them the same mini-lecture as I had given Mr. Hunt. They had questions. I did my best to answer them (remember, linguist and Bible guy which does not readily mix with oil and business).
Towards the end of the conversation when the questions had died down, I suggested that they draw straws and one of them go to Khartoum. I suggested that they NOT stay at the Meridien or Hilton but in a C class hotel (like the Acropolis) to get a better feel for the country. And that they stay a full two weeks, nothing less (or they were not going to get a feel for it). And I told them I would do my best to get them some contacts to visit there. As it happened, my colleague, Denny Dyvig, (one of our pilots there), was stationed in Khartoum and the Minister of Mining and Minerals (or whatever the title was) was a Southerner (a Dinka) who was a friend of Denny's.
They thought this was a good idea and the next day John Strickland (if I recall the name correctly) called me and said he had drawn the short straw. I had emailed Denny and I gave him the contact information that I thought he would need for Denny and a couple other people.
About a week later I got a call from John Strickland. "I thought you were going to go to Sudan. When are you leaving?" I asked him.
And that, folks, is how I saved Bunker Hunt millions.
(Eventually Chevron sold their interest to a Canadian consortium by the name of Talon, if I recollect correctly, and they eventually sold out to the Chinese. If he had bought and held out for 20 years he would have done just fine, I think).


Sundance: They got 'em up! Skip on down.
Butch:Todos ustedes arrismense a la pared.
Butch:Donde… Ah, you're so damn smart, You read it!
This is a great look, and probably my idea of the most casual thing I'd want to leave the house in. I used to frequently don corduroy till I discovered (and could afford) tweed. The thing about Cor du Roi for me is that it doesn't endure, in my experience. Just as I'd get attached to a jacket it would develop wear-spots. The cords would get crushed into a patina at various locales. They'd go threadbare and start fraying around the cuffs. Once the fabric started to relax they wanted to look rumpled. Once I find something I like I want it to last and last. Evidently I'm hard on clothes, so I guess I just need to accept the limitations.
Better than anything to do with the clothes is your take on the film itself (here and elsewhere). My hunch is you have a gift and a dedication for getting movies (at least of this kind), and it really shows here. Well done.


Seoul Eland rely on visitors to provide atmosphere in opening game.

Over 4000 fans attended Seoul Eland's opening game of the season, but without the noise of the announcements and the visiting support the stadium might as well have been empty.
Inside the 'stadium within a stadium' that Eland have constructed out of temporary stands and shipping containers, signs proclaim that Seoul Eland are 'Asia's No.1 club'. Luckily for Eland, they avoided embarrassment as their reduced capacity ground was almost full with over four thousand attendees at the Olympic stadium for their opening match. Good weather and the lack of other K-league matches that weekend might have brought in a few fans for this one off occasion (there were several FC Seoul and Suwon Bluewings shirts present in the crowd) so next week's game against Daegu might provide a better benchmark for judging their fanbase for the forthcoming season. Unfortunately, despite all the effort from the commercial side, Eland have not really managed to create an atmosphere as the home fans sat in silence for almost the whole match. A half-hearted attempt to create a 'goal, goal, goal' chant by the public announcer during a corner kick late in the first half fell on deaf ears. The small Anyang contingent on the other hand chanted throughout the match, to the extent that if anyone was listening to the game rather than watching it, they would've assumed that Anyang were the home team.
The match itself was a rather cautious affair, with Seoul having a lot of possession without creating many chances. The opening goal came (in typical K-league style) from a penalty, which was taken, after discussion with the coaching staff, by Kim Jae-Sung, to give Seoul the lead at half time. If Seoul Eland fans thought that they would walk this league, then they were in for a shock in the second half when Kim Sun Min scored a cracker of a goal, with a powerful shot looping over Kim Young Gwan, to equalise for Anyang. After the equaliser, Seoul didn't produce much and were almost caught on the break a few times by Anyang. The game finished one-a-piece, a result that leaves Anyang top of the K-League challenge after two games. Seoul will be hoping to get their first win next week at home to Daegu. Hopefully by then, their fans will find their voice.

Council also purchases the archive of one of the Republican Party's founders, a collection of portraits by 19th-century photographers working in the American West, and other treasures.
SAN MARINO, Calif.—The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens announced today that it has acquired the papers of renowned travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux. The acquisition is a substantial addition to The Huntington's already extensive holdings in travel literature and fiction, and includes notebooks, autograph drafts, and corrected typescript drafts for nearly all of Theroux's 51 books, along with diaries, short stories, plays, lectures, essays, and correspondence from other noted writers.
Other items acquired at The Huntington's 19th annual Library Collectors' Council meeting include the extensive papers of Republican Party founder and Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice John Meredith Read (1797–1874), a spectacular collection of 19th-century images that trace the history of photographic practice in the American West, an annotated early 15th-century Latin manuscript about the Three Magi, and a volume of notes taken during the lectures of 19th-century French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy.
"This year's acquisitions are simply off the charts with regard to their research value and the way they complement our existing collections in literature, history, the history of science, and photography," said David Zeidberg, Avery Director of the Library at The Huntington. "We are immensely grateful to the council members for their incredible generosity."
The Library Collectors' Council is a group of 39 families who help support acquisitions. It was formed to augment the collections by helping to purchase materials that the institution otherwise could not afford.
Highlights of the newly purchased materials:
Paul Theroux Collection
In his long and distinguished career, Paul Theroux has explored the far reaches of the globe to produce a body of classic travel books. From his first travel account, The Great Railway Bazaar, through others such as The Old Patagonian Express (nominated for the American Book Award), Dark Star Safari, and The Happy Isles of Oceania, to his most recent book, Deep South, Theroux stands at the forefront of travel writing. The winner of many awards, Theroux received the prestigious Royal Medal from the Royal Geographical Society in May 2015. Previous recipients include Sir Richard Burton, David Livingston, Captain Robert Scott, and Sir David Attenborough.
"The Huntington is a major destination for research on travel and its history," said Sara "Sue" Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington, noting the vast body of travel accounts in The Huntington's holdings, dating back to the late middle ages and including such celebrated figures as Sir Richard Burton, T.E. Lawrence (better known as Lawrence of Arabia), as well as more recent writers, such as Jack London and Christopher Isherwood. "The Theroux archive greatly enhances The Huntington's remarkable strengths in this area," said Hodson.
Though best known for his travel accounts, Theroux has also produced a large and distinguished body of fiction. Among his best-known novels are Saint Jack and The Mosquito Coast, which was nominated for the American Book Award and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
"Theroux's novels and short stories are engaging and provocative. Many deal with Americans or Britons living in other societies, experiencing other cultures, and trying to prosper as they encounter sometimes alien ways of life," said Hodson.
The Mosquito Coast was adapted into a 1986 movie of the same title, directed by Peter Weir and starring Harrison Ford. Theroux's novels Saint Jack, Dr. Slaughter (released as Half Moon Street), and Kowloon Tong (released as Chinese Box) have also been made into films. London Embassy, a volume of Theroux's short stories, was produced as a TV miniseries.
The Theroux collection, covering the period from 1965 to 2015, includes a number of unpublished texts and drafts for all but a few of the author's books, as well as extensive and significant correspondence from the Nobel Prize-winning novelist V.S. Naipaul and many other writers, including Graham Greene, S.J. Perelman, Nadine Gordimer, Margaret Drabble, Iris Murdoch, Stephen Spender, Gore Vidal, Laurens van der Post, Jan Morris, William Styron, and Bruce Chatwin.
Papers of John Meredith Read
The Council also purchased the archive of John Meredith Read (1797–1874), an eminent Pennsylvania jurist, an outspoken opponent of slavery, and a founder of the Republican Party. Having served as the U.S. federal judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, he was nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court in 1845, only to be denied confirmation because of his vocal opposition to slavery.
The collection—comprising eight letterpress books totaling some 4,500 letters, as well as some 500 additional letters, legal papers, and documents—covers the most important period of Read's career, from 1853 to 1865. The head of a successful law firm, he was a highly respected estate and corporate lawyer, and his clients included leading citizens of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as major railroad and canal companies. In 1854, Read, along with his friend David Wilmot, emerged as a leader of the nascent Republican Party. He was the chief organizer of the first Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 1856. In 1858, he led Pennsylvania Republicans to their first electoral victory and won his own race for the state Supreme Court in a landslide. This success brought him forward as a candidate for President of the United States, with Abraham Lincoln as his running mate. Early on, however, he threw his support behind Lincoln and campaigned for him in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. During the Civil War, Read served as an advisor to the Lincoln administration, congressional Republicans, and leading Pennsylvania politicians.
The political correspondence in the collection includes unpublished and previously unknown letters to Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson, Salmon P. Chase, Edwin M. Stanton, Henry Wilson, David Wilmot, Francis Lieber, Nathaniel P. Banks, Simon Cameron, Horace Greeley, William H. Seward, Gideon Welles, and others. The legal papers cover all aspects of Read's long and distinguished career in law, including his tenure as the Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
"This extraordinary archive is an invaluable addition to The Huntington's famous Lincoln and Civil War collections and greatly expands our collections of 19th-century Americana," said Olga Tsapina, Norris Foundation Curator of American Historical Manuscripts.
Mautz Collection of History of Photography in the American West
In 1984, Carl Mautz (b. 1942) began buying portraits of everyday people made by 19th-century photographers working in the American West. An attorney turned dealer and publisher, Mautz became intrigued by his encounter with countless first-rate images created by photographers about whom little to nothing was known. This lack of information launched a hunt for unique imprints that became the primary source material for his book Biographies of Western Photographers (1997), an essential reference guide for anyone studying photographic practice in the western United States.
Mautz continued to collect after his landmark publication appeared, resulting in a treasure trove of 7,000 portraits representing thousands of commercial photographers operating in 23 states and territories west of the Mississippi, including Hawaii, between 1860 and 1910.
"The collection is simply one-of-a-kind, providing a mountain of social and historical data to scholars investigating the networks and vectors of visual commerce at a critical place and time in the medium's history," said Jennifer A. Watts, curator of photography at The Huntington.
"And the sitters themselves depict a brilliant array of multigenerational and multicultural people who reflect the diverse nature of the frontier and post-frontier American West: soldiers, grandmothers, frontiersmen, babies cradled in their mothers' arms, workers brandishing the tools of their trade, children holding toys, young women modeling the latest hairstyle and dress. In aggregate, these pictures reflect tastes and trends in clothing, jewelry, and hair—topics of increasing importance to scholars—not to mention the evolving use of posing and props in studio settings," said Watts.
Latin manuscript about the Three Magi
Written on parchment and produced in England between 1400 and 1450, Historia trium regum tells the tale of three kings: Melchior of Nubia and Arabia, Balthasar of India, and Jaspar of Tharsis—the Three Wise Men of biblical fame.
The story moves beyond the Nativity to account for their return journey, their baptism by St. Thomas, and their establishment of a new kingdom. The kings ruled together for decades and died within months of each other. Centuries later, their relics were moved to their final resting place in the Church of St. Peter in Cologne, Germany, where visitors travel to this day to view their reliquary shrine.
Nearly 700 years ago, the scholar and monk Johannes de Hildesheim (d. 1375) blended biblical studies, 14th-century travel logs, and popular lore to produce Historia trium regum, which became the authoritative history of the three Magi. Within decades, his story was translated from Latin into German, Dutch, Flemish, French, and English. Hildesheim's Historia trium regum became one of the most widely read devotional texts in medieval Europe.
"No other institution in the U.S. holds a complete 15th-century Latin manuscript of this version of Historia trium regum that was also produced in England," said Vanessa Wilkie, William A. Moffett Curator of British Historical Manuscripts. "When situated alongside The Huntington's unrivaled incunabula —books printed before 1501—and medieval manuscript collections, the volume reinvigorates studies of 15th-century devotional texts, allows for comparative analysis between manuscript and print during this pivotal century, provides rare travel accounts of medieval Europe and the Middle East, and contributes—through its 16th-century reader annotations—to the history of early modern and Reformation reading and reader reaction."
Mathematical lectures of Cauchy
During his lifetime, Augustin-Louis Cauchy (1789–1857) became the leading mathematician in France. Paris was then the center of the mathematical world, and its École Polytechnique in Paris, where Cauchy taught, was the foremost scientific school in Europe. Cauchy's lectures at the École Polytechnique in the 1820s established a new attitude toward rigor in mathematics and developed many characteristics of 19th-century concepts and methods of proof.
The Council purchased a bound manuscript volume of the only recorded set of notes taken from Cauchy's first-year undergraduate lectures at the École Polytechnique for the years 1824–25. The manuscript, produced by Cauchy's student Louis de la Moricière, joins The Huntington's 40 rare editions of Cauchy's printed works on mathematics.
"These notes are of considerable historical importance," said Dan Lewis, chief curator of manuscripts at The Huntington. "Although Cauchy's lectures on analysis were published in four great treatises—which The Huntington holds in printed form—the content of his lectures evolved significantly during his 15 years of teaching. My own research into this manuscript has shown that its text contains a tremendous amount of material that was never published, at least not in verbatim form; this represents the mathematical seeds, as it were, of the tree into which his lectures would evolve. Moreover, the notes provide a unique insight into Cauchy's lectures on mechanics, which were never published in any form."

Main Ideas Themes
Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.
Sin, Redemption, and Damnation
Insofar as Doctor Faustus is a Christian play, it deals with the themes at the heart of Christianity's understanding of the world. First, there is the idea of sin, which Christianity defines as acts contrary to the will of God. In making a pact with Lucifer, Faustus commits what is in a sense the ultimate sin: not only does he disobey God, but he consciously and even eagerly renounces obedience to him, choosing instead to swear allegiance to the devil. In a Christian framework, however, even the worst deed can be forgiven through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, God's son, who, according to Christian belief, died on the cross for humankind's sins. Thus, however terrible Faustus's pact with Lucifer may be, the possibility of redemption is always open to him. All that he needs to do, theoretically, is ask God for forgiveness. The play offers countless moments in which Faustus considers doing just that, urged on by the good angel on his shoulder or by the old man in scene 12—both of whom can be seen either as emissaries of God, personifications of Faustus's conscience, or both.
Each time, Faustus decides to remain loyal to hell rather than seek heaven. In the Christian framework, this turning away from God condemns him to spend an eternity in hell. Only at the end of his life does Faustus desire to repent, and, in the final scene, he cries out to Christ to redeem him. But it is too late for him to repent. In creating this moment in which Faustus is still alive but incapable of being redeemed, Marlowe steps outside the Christian worldview in order to maximize the dramatic power of the final scene. Having inhabited a Christian world for the entire play, Faustus spends his final moments in a slightly different universe, where redemption is no longer possible and where certain sins cannot be forgiven.
The Conflict Between Medieval and Renaissance Values
Scholar R.M. Dawkins famously remarked that Doctor Faustus tells "the story of a Renaissance man who had to pay the medieval price for being one." While slightly simplistic, this quotation does get at the heart of one of the play's central themes: the clash between the medieval world and the world of the emerging Renaissance. The medieval world placed God at the center of existence and shunted aside man and the natural world. The Renaissance was a movement that began in Italy in the fifteenth century and soon spread throughout Europe, carrying with it a new emphasis on the individual, on classical learning, and on scientific inquiry into the nature of the world. In the medieval academy, theology was the queen of the sciences. In the Renaissance, though, secular matters took center stage.
Faustus, despite being a magician rather than a scientist (a blurred distinction in the sixteenth century), explicitly rejects the medieval model. In his opening speech in scene 1, he goes through every field of scholarship, beginning with logic and proceeding through medicine, law, and theology, quoting an ancient authority for each: Aristotle on logic, Galen on medicine, the Byzantine emperor Justinian on law, and the Bible on religion. In the medieval model, tradition and authority, not individual inquiry, were key. But in this soliloquy, Faustus considers and rejects this medieval way of thinking. He resolves, in full Renaissance spirit, to accept no limits, traditions, or authorities in his quest for knowledge, wealth, and power.
The play's attitude toward the clash between medieval and Renaissance values is ambiguous. Marlowe seems hostile toward the ambitions of Faustus, and, as Dawkins notes, he keeps his tragic hero squarely in the medieval world, where eternal damnation is the price of human pride. Yet Marlowe himself was no pious traditionalist, and it is tempting to see in Faustus—as many readers have—a hero of the new modern world, a world free of God, religion, and the limits that these imposed on humanity. Faustus may pay a medieval price, this reading suggests, but his successors will go further than he and suffer less, as we have in modern times. On the other hand, the disappointment and mediocrity that follow Faustus's pact with the devil, as he descends from grand ambitions to petty conjuring tricks, might suggest a contrasting interpretation. Marlowe may be suggesting that the new, modern spirit, though ambitious and glittering, will lead only to a Faustian dead end.
Power as a Corrupting Influence
Early in the play, before he agrees to the pact with Lucifer, Faustus is full of ideas for how to use the power that he seeks. He imagines piling up great wealth, but he also aspires to plumb the mysteries of the universe and to remake the map of Europe. Though they may not be entirely admirable, these plans are ambitious and inspire awe, if not sympathy. They lend a grandeur to Faustus's schemes and make his quest for personal power seem almost heroic, a sense that is reinforced by the eloquence of his early soliloquies.

The fascinating spider's web design of the Patron of Art Edition Octavian is adapted from a design typical of the 1920s and also recalls the emperor's elaborately woven network of power. In the middle of this web of delicate 925 sterling silver threads, which covers the gleaming black barrel and the precious resin cap, sits an artistically shaped, stylised spider. The hand-worked rhodium-plated nib in 18-catat gold also bears a delicately engraved spider.
Gaius Octavian, honoured by the Roman Senate with the name Augustus, was the driving force behind the cultural revival of the epoch that followed numerous years of war. By means of cunning tactical moves, strategic liaisons with powerful Romans and deliberate promotion of the arts, Octavian created an elaborate network of culture.

Jan Bakelants arrives at the finish line of the Tour's 15th stage.
Jan Bakelants (AG2R La Mondiale) underwent spinal surgery on Friday afternoon in Belgium to repair injuries suffered in his crash at Il Lombardia last week.
The surgery followed Bakelants' return to Belgium from Italy, where he has been in hospital in Como since his crash.
"It has been a long day with a lot of pain, but now that Jan is in the country, there is light at the end of the tunnel," Bakelants' manager Dries Smets told Sporza before the operation in Leuvens.
"Today's surgery has to happen," Smets told Sporza. "Jan has a lot of pain on his ribs, but an unstable back vertebra is something else. That's a sensitive part in a human body, which you need to be very careful about. That vertebra needs to be fixed."
Bakelants crashed on a corner during the descent of the Sormano last Saturday, along with two other riders. Quick-Step Floors rider Laurens De Plus also came off on the corner prior to that as he chased down Bakelants' teammate Mikael Cherel at the front of the race. Bakelants was one of the worst affected along with UAE Team Emirates' Simone Petilli, who was released from hospital on Friday.
Bakelants broke two dorsal (D8 and D10) and two lumbar (L1 and L3) vertebrae as well as seven ribs in the crash. He was immediately taken to Sant'Anna hospital in Como and remained there until his move to Leuven by plane on Thursday.
"Jan has been in a somewhat smaller hospital in Como, all of which is not comparable to a university hospital like in Leuven," Smets said. "The people in Como have done all the necessary things for Jan, but they do not have the know-how about this to perform surgery, certainly not with a top athlete. "
Bakelants' return to Belgium was delayed while his health improved and pain subsided. Bakelants rehabilitation from the injury can finally begin after Friday's surgery, and Smets was cautiously optimistic about the riders' return to competition.
"I know Jan as a fighter and optimist, so he will overcome this obstacle," Smets said. "He has already had some injuries. Top athletes have an exceptional mentality, which makes rehabilitation faster than with ordinary people.
