The 5 New TV Shows You Can't Miss This Month

A new year brings a whole slate of new TV shows, so here's hoping your New Year's resolution wasn't to watch less TV.
We here at Paste will be all over Good Trouble on Freeform, Showtime's Black Monday, and the highly anticipated re-imagining of Carmen Sandiego on Netflix. We can't wait for the return of our beloved Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which moves to NBC on January 10. And there's no way we would miss talking about Rent, TV's next live musical, or The CW's Roswell, New Mexico, TV's latest remake.
As always, though, we don't want you to miss out on any TV. So here are the five new shows you can't miss this month.
1. Schooled
Executive Producers: Adam F. Goldberg, Doug Robinson and Marc Firek
Stars: Tim Meadows, Bryan Callen, AJ Michalka and Brett Dier
Premiere Date: January 9 at 8:31 p.m. on ABC
The Goldbergs gets its long-awaited spin-off in this comedy, which follows Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) into the 1990s as she becomes the music teacher at her old alma matter, William Penn Academy—where Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) is still bringing his unique blend of terror/encouragement to physical education and Mr. Glascott (Tim Meadows) is now the principal. As he does with The Goldbergs, executive producer Adam Goldberg mines nostalgia for humor while telling heartfelt stories that resonate. This could be a spin-off that works.
2. Fam
Executive Producers: Corinne Kingsbury, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, and Dana Honor
Stars: Nina Dobrev, Tone Bell, Odessa Adlon, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Brian Stokes Mitchell
Premiere Date: January 10 at 9:30 p.m. on CBS
Yes, this is on CBS. And yes, it's about a newly engaged woman named Clem (Nina Dobrev) who has struggled to build a nice normal life with her fiancé, Nick (Tone Bell). All of it falls apart when her 16-year-old half-sister, Shannon, moves in with them. Sounds like your typical CBS comedy. But get this: Shannon is played by Odessa Adlon, the daughter of Better Things' Pamela Adlon. The younger Adlon looks (and sounds!) so much like her mom, and also brings the same unconventional humor to the role. Add in Gary Cole as Clem and Shannon's dad and suddenly this CBS comedy is looking like much more than the standard fare.
3. Valley of the Boom
Executive Producers: Matthew Carnahan and Arianna Huffington
Stars: Bradley Whitford, Steve Zahn, Lamorne Morris, John Karna, Dakota Shapiro and Oliver Cooper
Premiere Date: January 13 at 8 p.m. on National Georaphic Channel
Netscape. AOL. Blackberry. MySpace. The digital highway is littered with technology companies that once led the industry, only to be overtaken by competitors. We take for granted now that we can email someone at any time. That our phones will give us directions, count the number of steps we take, and pay for our coffee. But all of that really has come to fruition in the last decade. This six-part miniseries follows the rise and fall of Netscape and intersperses scripted drama with interviews with the real-life people who lived through this tumultuous time, including Arianna Huffington and Mark Cuban.
4. The Passage
Executive Producers: Ridley Scott and Matt Reeves
Stars: Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Saniyya Sidney, Jamie McShane, Caroline Chikezie, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Henry Ian Cusick
Premiere Date: January 14 at 9 p.m. on Fox
Ten-year-old foster child Amy (Saniyya Sidney) is chosen as a test subject for Project Noah, a mysterious and top secret government venture. Mark-Paul Gosselaar is the FBI agent assigned to bring her in until he decides he won't be part of this nefarious undertaking anymore. The show is a mixture of an ongoing mystery and horror, but the real reason to tune in is to watch Gosselaar and Sidney together. The two form a believable pair you can't help but root for.
5. The Other Two
Executive Producers: Lorne Michaels, Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider
Stars: Drew Tarver, Helene York, Case Walker, Ken Marino and Molly Shannon
Premiere Date: January 24 at 10:30 p.m. on Comedy Central
What if you've been struggling for years to be launch your career in the entertainment industry and suddenly your youngest brother becomes the next Justin Bieber? That's exactly what happens to Cary (Drew Tarver) and Brooke (Helene York), who must deal with the fact that their brother, Chase (Case Walker), becomes a huge Internet star overnight. Molly Shannon co-stars as their mom, who might only be proud of her one of her children. Executive producers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider are both former head writers of Saturday Night Live and guest stars include Beck Bennett, Michael Che, and Andy Cohen.

Update 1/18/17: This article has been updated to reflect that fact that the Hi9 ships with an older MediaTek MT8173, not the MT8176 that we were initially told by Chuwi. It is also now available for purchase.
Chuwi is a little known Chinese brand that has been trying to stand out in the crowded market of low price Android tablets. The company, which was founded around 2004, first started making MP3 and MP4 player devices as well as other multimedia devices. It was only after striking a partnership with Chinese silicon manufacturer MediaTek that they entered the Android market with full force. Since 2015, they've been aiming at reaching the global market beyond their native China. But it's not easy to get into the U.S. market (just ask LeEco), yet Chuwi is still pushing forward with their recently announced Chuwi Hi9 tablet.
Tablets are a dying breed in the Android ecosystem, especially at the high end. But the Chuwi Hi9 isn't aiming to compete with the likes of the iPad Pro. That doesn't mean it's not a respectable tablet in its own right, though. It has an 8.4-inch 2560×1600 (WQXGA) IPS LCD display with 400 nits of brightness, and is powered by a MediaTek MT8173 SoC. While this probably means that the developer community will be pretty much nonexistent (support for MediaTek based devices has improved somewhat during the last year, though), it should deliver a decent, mid-range level performance. It's also paired with 4 GBs of RAM and 64 GBs of internal storage, so it should be able to handle most of apps and games that you throw at it.
This will also be the first Chuwi tablet to run Android 7.0 Nougat, which some might see as disappointing given the fact that Android 7.1 Nougat and now Android 8.0 Oreo are already available. However, it's certainly a huge improvement seeing as previous Chuwi tablets were often stuck dual-booting Android 5.0 Lollipop, and many off-brand tablets sold in China still ship with outdated Android versions.
The tablet, which will launch globally, should launch around October of this year. Though the price has yet to be announced, given Chuwi's price history, it should retail for relatively cheap. The Chuwi Hi9 was announced at IFA 2017, but we're sure to learn more about this device in the coming month.

Deeper controls, global dominance and trash talk highlight NBA LIVE 19
Electronic Arts' hoop game continues to make strides
By Marcus Matthews	@goochaveli
NBA LIVE has come a long way in trying to close the gap that exists between it and NBA2K. Major strides were made with NBA LIVE 18, but will 2K's edge further dwindle with NBA LIVE 19? Electronic Arts rolled out details about the next version at EA Play on Saturday. Here's a look at what's new:
New ICON Abilities to unlock. "This year, we're introducing an all-new Icon Abilities to complement each play style," said NBA LIVE creative director Ryan Santos. "These Icon Abilities will be inspired by superstars, whether it be legends or current-day players. These are going to be abilities that you can go and modify as you progress down your path. Think of this as another ability path that has customization built into it with key decisions that allow you to make that ability your own."
Ability to choose the same style of play as another player but modify the unique Icon Abilities of the player's tendencies and ratings to ensure they put their own spin on each game. While players may start the same, this development makes sure that no players develop the same.
New story and a new presentation of your player's journey to glory and new additions to both The League and The Streets.
Ability to unlock special rewards such as signature throwback jerseys, kicks and specific animations tied to that ability, making you look and play differently during the game.
THE LEAGUE AND THE STREETS
Hoop dreams go global — Expanded Pro-Am tour turns into The Streets World Tour, featuring courts around the globe in places such as Paris, Rio de Janeiro and more over the course of the year.
"Making this feel more like a global journey for your player on The Streets and then meeting different players along the way, going up against them, beating them, and then recruiting them to your squad, it's a whole new mechanic that's going to be presented in The Streets," said Santos of the game's new mode, "Build Your Squad." "I think we have a nice blend of taking authentic Pro-Ams and introducing more of that global, yet local street flavor in terms of these street ball courts that are very grassroots, where a lot of kids grow up playing and pros show up, so you never know who you'll go up against."
Chip-chasing — Since NBA LIVE is all about making your own decisions, make your way back to The League whenever you want. When you do, you'll get every chance to grow your own player and take your team deep into the playoffs. The interesting part about The League, though, is the decisions you make can influence the trajectory of your professional career and even your own personal life. This stems from everything, such as choosing where you want to play, getting messages from other NBA stars, and even building your own profile in the news so that everyone knows your name.
"We're adding so many more hairstyles, different tattoos, just all those different things that make you unique when you're out there on the court," said Santos. "We're also going to be building on our narrative system. Within The League last year, you had these conversations that led to different choices and some of these choices led to different rewards that you would get, like when you pick what sponsor you want to go with, so you get some rewards there. This year, we're building on that system to allow you to get these rewards within The League. It's going to be a lot more rewarding in terms of the types of decisions you can make there, and the impact it has. We're going to have these decisions also lead into the game, so that when you play against certain players and have a certain performance, we have a brand-new system that's going to pay that off with these various social media personalities."
Birth of a Global ICON. The NBA is the only league where players such as Enes Kanter won't ever come close to being seen as a star but would definitely make the all-star squad on #NBATwitter. This year's NBA LIVE gives you the chance to become a star both on and off the court. Capturing this global cultural and social influence aspect of the NBA is a major hurdle that the team looked to make happen for fans in 2019.
"That's a whole new way to present the user's story in a dynamic way," Santos said. "When you go into a league game and have an awesome performance, you're going to have these awesome highlights being played back to you with a famous influencer or brand or broadcaster talking about this amazing performance you just had. So, that's where you really get to see your player put on this stage and be celebrated with all the different customization options, their animations, what they did in-game, this thing that's dynamic and really all about you."
ICON SYSTEMS
Fully customizable experience. In NBA LIVE 19, you can change your game to model some of the greatest who have ever touched the hardwood by incorporating the skills, abilities and personalities of current and retired stars. If you want to lead your teammates like Magic Johnson, you can. You can add in some elements of former Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo's game and become a menace down low. With the new Icon System, all of this possible.
GAMEPLAY INNOVATIONS
Real Player Motion. Give players a much smoother and more responsive experience. Big jump in quality regarding ball carrier movement.
Lots of signature player movement. Guys such as LeBron James, James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry will move like they do in real life. Faster acceleration, different nuances of how they dribble and how they move, all controlled with the left stick.
Off-ball player movement has also been upgraded to Real Player Motion. Player movement is much more responsive and smoother when controlling players in the half court or in transition.
You can do a lot of different moves on just the left stick alone. You don't need to be a master on the right stick, but there's a lot more players can do and it's a lot smoother and easier to pick up and play. It's a lot more responsive and authentic with signature player movement.
Overhauled triple-threat control. All-new jabs steps, as well as a pump fake system have been converted to Real Player Motion technology.
Addition of all-new counter and combo moves for both in The League and The Streets. The ball handler will have a lot more freedom and control than last year.
Expanded one-on-one system to off-ball. On defense, you can hold your left trigger to body players up away from the ball. On offense, there's a series of counter moves like V-cuts, L-cuts and different right stick moves to get you open. There's a whole new game within the game with off-ball play.
New interactive environment. You'll see players save the ball into the bench and the crowd, fall into the cameramen or crash into the stanchion and you'll also see players talking trash with the opposing team's bench or crowd members in Pro-Am. They're also introducing court-storming in Pro-Am and Street games.
All-new Dynamic Gameplay A.I. system. New AI behaviors that are true to life. So, when you play against star players who start to get hot and begin taking over a game, whether on offense or defense, you're going to start to feel that. They'll get the ball fed to them more and they'll be much more aggressive. Depending on their personality types, they'll start talking trash. There's a new concept of post-whistle interactive where you can taunt the opposition or celebrate with your teammates. Players will start to do that depending on personality type.
BUILD YOUR SQUAD
Your squad vs. the world. Not only can you compete in The League and The Streets, you'll also be able to go around the world to different global courts where you'll be able to recruit players who you play against and compete with, then form your squad as you go from game to game, court to court and country to country. Electronic Arts tried to mimic the style that many role-playing games have set forth in terms of creating an online party-style mode. This is a mode where not only can you play against friends, but you can actively try to one-up and compete for bragging rights. While most global courts are yet to be released, this seems to give a nostalgic feel similar to the classic Electronic Arts Sports' NBA Street franchise.
A number of NBA LIVE 19's Live Events will be centered on this concept of building your squad, and you'll get to do so in the most interactive way possible, where you might have one or two chances to pick up a certain player and add him to your team.

Can My Landlord "Bank" My Annual Rent Increases?
In California, tenants should be emailing their legislators every second of every day, to demand repeal of the Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Civil Code section 1954.50 to 1954.535).
I have contacted the landlord and all they can say is that "it's been raised to market value" and "we are not being discriminatory with the unequal increases." My question is, is it within their (landlords') rights to raise rents in a disproportional manner?
The lease says condo, but the Exhibit B says it's not…yet. So are we included in the rent control ordinance as a condo unit, owned by the building subdivider?
Can My Landlord Raise My Rent By $300/Month?
Some of the best deals in town, illegal in-laws can be pleasant places to live, until the landlord starts screwing around with the tenant or a new owner wants to remove the unit from the market.

Q: upload and gzip file on windows can't find path I'm new to scala and have taken over a project which is taking an upload and zipping it before passing it off to s3.
The file is created in
case Some(activityId: Long) =>
        val tempFilePath = "/tmp/tack.%d".format(activityId)
        val gzipTempFilePath = tempFilePath + ".gz"
        val tempFile = new File(tempFilePath)
        gpsTackFile.ref.moveTo(tempFile, true)
        val fileName = Activity.tackFilePathFromId(activityId)
        val mimeType = "text/plain"
        val f = compressAndUpload(tempFilePath, fileName, mimeType)

The compress and upload uses gzip on the command line, and fails because it can't find the tempFilePath
 def compressAndUpload(tempFilePath: String, dstFileName: String, mimeType: String): Future[Boolean] = {
    "gzip -9 " + tempFilePath ! match {

I thought the problem may have been due to how window and linux handle files differently, but trying to use """/tmp/tack.%d""" didn't fix the issue (that is what I found when trying to properly escape the string for windows).
The error I get is gzip: /tmp/tack.1024.gz: No such file or directory

A: thanks to @soong comment in the response, I added a TMP_DIR as a global in our bash script like this
case $OS in
    'Windows_NT')
    TMP_PATH="c:$TMP"
    ;;
    *)
    TMP_PATH='/tmp'
    ;;
esac

export TMP_PATH

This works for Windows 10, I can't comment on other versions. The drive letter was needed at the beginning as it isn't included in the $TMP variable

Appolonia (family name unknown) was born about 1723. She married a man with the family name of Schäfer about 1743. Appolonia and her husband had a least two children: Christian, born about 1748 and Catharina, born in Büdingen in 1752 according to the Norka 1834-45 Family Register. Preliminary research by Maggie Hein in the Büdingen parish records did not reveal a baptism record for Catharina or Christian.
Appolonia's husband likely died sometime before the spring of 1766. The family was probably living in or near Büdingen, a recruiting center and gathering point for colonists migrating to Russia. In 1766, Appolonia and her two children decided to accept the offer described in Catherine's Manifesto and migrate to Russia.
The family sailed with other colonists from the north German port of Lübeck aboard the Russian ship "Vologda" and arrived in Oranienbaum, Russia on August 10, 1766. They were recorded as farmers of the Reformed faith from Isenburg. Appolonia is recorded as a widow. A number of families that settled in Norka were aboard this same ship.
Over a year later, Appolonia, Christian, and Catharina were among the founders who arrived in Norka on August 15, 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 Census as Household No. 37.
Catharina married Johann Heinrich Walter about 1773. Christian married Elisabeth Haas about 1780. It is not known if Appolonia married again or when she died. Her courage created the opportunity of a better life for her children and their descendants.

After previous engagements with Disney grossing over $1 billion (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Johnny Depp is engaged with the studio to develop two new feature films.
Both projects are also possibly starring Depp and include a remake of Night Stalker and a film revolving around Paul Revere's famous Midnight Ride. Atop of these two new productions, Depp is already attached to The Lone Ranger and is almost certain to return for a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean venture.
Comments for Johnny Depp and Disney Working To Develop Two New Films are now closed.

Digital Evidence Management Software
Almost nothing can capture news headlines like a tragic interaction between a police officer and a member of the public. For far too many years, the outcome of the use of police force has been subject to a "he said, she said" debate. With the invention of high-quality, miniaturized video cameras, however, police departments now have a way to resolve these disputes. Even better, they can prevent them from happening in the first place.
Communities around the country are demanding that their police officers wear body cameras, and for good reason. With body cameras recording all of an officer's interactions, a police department and the public that it serves can find out exactly what happened in every incident.
When all of a department's police officers wear these cameras, the number of public complaints drops dramatically, as does the number of times that police are required to use force. They simply create the accountability needed for all parties involved to understand that everything they are doing is being recorded for posterity.
TASER and Vievu: Protecting Officers and the Community
Two of the most popular and award-winning body cam companies that police are seeking out for their technical needs are TASER and Vievu. Body cam technology is proving to be a significant contributor in cost-saving efforts for agencies around the world by preventing unnecessary investigations and litigations. The truth is in the recordings.
Police Department Contracts with TASER
The Louisville Metro Police Department recently partnered with TASER in an effort to provide better transparency to the public from local law enforcement agencies through body cams. LMPD will be spending 96% of its allotted $4.28 million just on storage costs through a cloud-based file management system; however, the licensing with TASER will give the Department unlimited data storage. Any footage not pertaining to an investigation, arrest, etc. will be automatically deleted after 30 days, per Kentucky's body cam records retention laws. Shorter retention periods reduce the costs associated with data storage.
Body Cameras and the Software They Require
In order for these cameras to be useful, they must be served by the right digital evidence management software, also known as DEMS. This software is used in many ways to ensure that all body camera recordings are cataloged and stored properly. There are many data points that have to be accurately recorded. For example, our software can:
Track which police officer recorded what video and at what time it was recorded
Maintain metadata for every recording, such as which department members have viewed it and when
Allow you to mark videos as evidence in an ongoing investigation or due for simple storage
Give your district attorney and their staff the ability to log in and view crucial videos
The Benefits of Tracker Products EMS
Whether you're a police captain looking for new solutions or the IT director that has to implement them, digital evidence management software is crucial for making body cameras useful. Without this software, your investment in high-tech camera equipment will be worthless. Our Evidence Management System with integrated Digital Evidence program is unique because it allows for both physical and digital evidence that shows the entire chain of custody. You will have an all-in-one solution for maintaining your evidence's chain of custody and being able to access in whenever you need it.
Since this is such new technology, consumers can only choose from TASER and Vievu for their video camera needs. With all technology, it can quickly become outdated. Once the technology is no longer top-of-the-line, you will have to invest more money getting new cameras and new software to accompany the new hardware. The Tracker Products solution for 65% of the cost and there is no migration necessary for a new system when you have to update your hardware. With system-wide integration and multiple agencies needing access to these digital files, the last thing you want to have to do is a system wide migration across multiple agencies.
Give your community the increased safety and trust in its police department that it deserves—invest in Tracker Products SAFE today.

Meeting in the Middle and Increasing Trust
by Oscar Tollast
Lee Hibbard, deputy secretary of Committee on Bioethics of the Council of Europe, reflects on reaching out across sectors, metrics for ethics, and doing the right thing Lee Hibbard at Salzburg Global Seminar
What are the metrics for ethics regarding AI-enabled products and services? What do you need to inform public trust? What are the protocols? What are the accreditation, transparency, and accountability measures required? These are just some of the questions which brought Lee Hibbard to Salzburg Global Seminar, as he continued his quest to obtain a greater understanding.
Earlier this year, the deputy secretary of the Committee on Bioethics of the Council of Europe found himself as a participant at the inaugural program of the Salzburg Global Law and Technology Forum: Privacy, Security, and Ethics in an Asymmetric World. During the three-day program, Hibbard and his peers defined initial priority issues and identified possibilities for new international norms and practical collaborations.
In his role on the Committee on Bioethics, Hibbard is focused on the development of a strategic action plan concerning governance arrangements in the biomedical field. He told Salzburg Global, "Technology is really the promise to help improve health care, and it is really exciting. We're looking at, in general terms, not just AI, but we're looking at, what are the biomedical implications [and] considerations for the next five years? And, in that, there's a lot of technology and human rights discussion."
Until recently, Hibbard was the internet governance coordinator at the Council of Europe. His responsibilities included strategizing and liaising with governments, the private sector, and intergovernmental organizations. He helped set up a platform for dialogue on human rights and the rule of law between internet companies and governments within the Council of Europe.
Hibbard believes individual rights are important to maintain. He doesn't believe there's anything "completely nihilistic" at the moment regarding technology, but there is a lot of scaremongering concerning the future of AI and the potential loss of jobs which will occur. According to Hibbard, there is a need to find a middle space to encourage collaboration and understand further the importance of ethics and how they interface with rights and freedoms.
He said, "There's a lot of work in that middle space to try to say, 'We agree to be pedagogical. We agree that it's about the past, it's about now, and it's about the future.' We must create a continuum. We must find a way where we can come together… Democracy's about sitting in the middle, opening your ears and saying, 'I'm listening to you, and I am trying to understand you, and I'm trying to maybe even change my mind.' But if we live in this polarized world where we all think we know what we know and that's it, then we're not meeting in the middle."
Hibbard has been involved in the field of technology and human rights since 2005. During this time, he has brought people together to create new platforms and worked with member states to develop policy instruments. He said, "I'm quite curious about technology in general. I read about AI. I am helping to shape a course on AI, and I am quite curious and quite passionate about societal issues—how society should be informed… We're missing the fact that it's not just about companies and states, it's about people…"
Every day many people blindly accept the terms and conditions for new online accounts or software for their computer. These online contracts should be simple and easy to read, but they're not, as highlighted by Choice.com.au. It's one example of where people might not understand the potential consequences of their digital actions.
Hibbard said, "You don't know what the hurt is in the tech world yet. You don't know what's happening to your data. You don't know what's being built around your avatar self, so you actually don't know if you're being hurt… whether it becomes about insurance payments, about lifestyle choices… all these things are not understood digitally online. I'm very curious to make sure that we do the right thing. We're in a moment of transition, of course, and we have the power to come together and discuss these things."
Hibbard recognizes the value of communication and bringing different sectors together. He has previously attended two Salzburg Global Fellowship events, including a Klingenthal meeting in 2016 titled, Remaking the State: The Impact of the Digital Revolution Now and to Come. He said, "It's very, very refreshing to meet people that you don't normally… meet and get to talk about a common subject… we're all pretty much in the same situation, just at different ends of the spectrum, and, actually, we've got a lot of common things."
Currently, there are not enough people from other sectors coming together, having these discussions, according to Hibbard. Silos need to keep being broken, and discussions need to keep taking place regularly, particularly in the field of technology and human rights. He said, "We need to demystify what we think we don't understand as about being technical and overcome that vertigo and really get to the same table…. We need to find a way to understand it, and we need to make that jump…"

Dark Themes in Books Get Students Reading
By Kathleen Kennedy Manzo — March 30, 2007 | Corrected: February 22, 2019 9 min read
Corrected: An earlier version of this story incorrectly spelled the name of Purdue University Associate Professor Janet Alsup.
Chanelle Brown hasn't found much she can relate to in the classic texts assigned in her English classes at Evanston Township High School. A top student, the junior has toiled through The Odyssey, All the King's Men, The Scarlet Letter, and other standards, she said, while many of her classmates at the suburban Chicago school have given up reading them altogether.
"The themes are kind of dead now," she said, "and I don't feel like any of the stories apply to me."
But Ms. Brown is glad that teachers at Evanston High, like educators elsewhere, have been supplementing the canon with recently published books to provide a more varied, and palatable, literary menu for students. Such decisions, some experts say, can add the kind of engaging and relevant content that high school reform advocates have been calling for.
Contemporary texts are making their way into the curriculum, a trend that some experts say makes reading more relevant.

Nevertheless, the use of popular literature has run up against traditionalists, who fear it will dumb down the curriculum, and parents who object to the controversial themes that characterize many of the selections.
"A young-adult text is more accessible to students and allows them to think more about complex themes," said Ken Lindblom, the director of English teacher education at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "Just getting students reading texts that they enjoy is more important than exposing them to high literature."
Doing so, however, can foster concerns about whether the content of such books is appropriate, Mr. Lindblom acknowledges. Many young-adult novels, for example, feature violent scenes, topics such as death and abuse, or protagonists who purposely hurt themselves.
"The jury is still out on whether exposing children to these ideas gives them ideas or helps them think through things they or their friends are experiencing," Mr. Lindblom said. "Is reading about a girl cutting herself likely to prompt more girls into doing this to themselves or to get help for themselves or their friends?"
Present vs. Past
An avid reader of what she calls "street literature," Ms. Brown prefers the sometimes dark and disturbing present-day stories that define many of the trade books marketed to young adults. And she and her classmates are more enthusiastic about reading and discussing The Autobiography of Malcolm X and the novel The Secret Life of Bees in her honors English class because of the real-life conflicts they portray.
Those themes have raised concerns among parents and others that students are being exposed to material that is overly grim or mature. Many of the books that face challenges by parents and community members feature violence, death, profanity, sex, and other sensitive content. While similar themes may also characterize great plays and novels—from "Romeo and Juliet" to Jane Eyre to Of Mice and Men—they tend to fuel more controversy in those set in the present day, especially when they resonate with the lives of today's students and families, observers say.
Several years ago, Barbara Feinberg became distressed at her own son's reaction to reading the realistic fiction that was assigned for his middle school English class. Her son, a fan of upbeat, humorous texts, dreaded the required readings, which he found depressing and morbid, she says.
She wrote a memoir outlining her concerns. In Welcome to the Lizard Motel, Ms. Feinberg argues that such selections tend to push life's harsh realities on students from an adult perspective and do not accurately reflect how children rely on fantasy and imagination to explain difficult subjects.
The director of an after-school creative-writing program in Westchester County, N.Y., Ms. Feinberg questions the idea "that kids need to be given a steady diet of 'realistic fiction' that is seen as best able to tell the truth about life," she wrote in a recent e-mail. "Sometimes books that bang kids over the head with 'difficult material' might succeed in depicting realistic scenarios, but fail at capturing more emotional (or emotionally accessible) truths."
A number of books now regularly included in middle and high school curricula have startling, if realistic, scenarios, experts say.
Laurie Halse Anderson's novel Speak, for example, is widely assigned to high school students. But the disturbing story of a teenage outcast, and the eventual revelation that she had been sexually assaulted, has earned the book a spot on annual lists of banned and challenged books compiled by library and booksellers' associations.
Ms. Feinberg's son, and other adolescents she interviewed for her book, were disturbed by some of their school reading assignments, like Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia, and stories by Sharon Creech, which hit the reader with details of sudden tragedy.
Thanks to a growing market for young-adult literature, and prominent new awards for high-quality books in the genre, many more titles than in the past are available for teachers to incorporate into their classes. But some experts say the problem is that the growing number of such choices has not yet transformed the curriculum.
"I would be very pleased if it was a trend, but I don't see it," said Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, a professor of English education at Idaho's Boise State University and the author of You Gotta BE the Book: Teaching Engagedand Reflective Reading with Adolescents. Mr. Wilhelm conducted studies with colleague Michael W. Smith about the reading habits and preferences of teenagers.
"The classical, canonical literature, which I personally love, in fact was written for very sophisticated adult readers, … but the attitude [among English teachers and traditionalists] is, 'Let's kick their butts with something they can't possibly understand.' "
Mr. Wilhelm argues that the high school English curriculum needs an overhaul, including incorporating more relevant and engaging reading assignments. In his interviews with teenage boys, most, including both high- and low-achieving students, expressed dissatisfaction with their reading assignments.
"It was almost completely agreed upon that school reading sucks and that they hate it," Mr. Wilhelm said.
In one class he and Mr. Smith studied, none of the students actually read the assigned text, Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." But the students had found "30 different ways to fool the teacher" that they had read it, he said.
Reading scores on national tests may reflect students' dissatisfaction with the content of their English classes. On the latest 12th grade National Assessment of Educational Progress, one-fourth of students tested could not demonstrate even basic skills on the test of reading comprehension and text analysis. Another third scored at the basic level, which requires overall understanding of text excerpts, as well as some interpretation and analysis.
Age cannot whither Shakespeare, or the works of other masters, which still dominate the curriculum, according to Arthur N. Applebee, a professor of education and the director of the Center on English Learning and Achievement at SUNY Albany. Mr. Applebee has conducted several studies of the English curriculum throughout the 20th century.
"The core of the canon is still there, and Shakespeare is always on top of the list by a long margin," he said. But the trend toward incorporating more diverse and recent works has generally had a positive impact on the curriculum, Mr. Applebee argues. The most widely used literary anthologies, he said, now include more works by women and members of racial and ethnic minorities, and feature stories about other cultures.
Students' distaste for classic works, or the difficulty of tackling such hefty readings, shouldn't deter teachers from their responsibility for teaching them, according to Carol Jago, a longtime high school English teacher and prolific writer on the subject. Ms. Jago, the author of With Rigor for All: Teachingthe Classics to Contemporary Students, said that while contemporary works have a place in English classes, they should be chosen carefully for their quality and relevance to curriculum goals. Too often, she said, teachers take time away from timeless works to introduce easier books.
"Teachers are so desperate to have students read something, anything," said Ms. Jago, who retired last year from California's Santa Monica High School. "So some teachers are bringing in works that kids don't need any help reading."
Those teachers, she said, are misunderstanding their jobs as English teachers.
"Our job is not simply to dispense books that kids will read and love," she said. "We need to help them tackle books that are hard for them, … help them negotiate challenging texts."
Some students at Illinois' Evanston High have come to appreciate that kind of hard work, even though they prefer current choices. Laura JanVier was a reluctant convert to the merit of classic texts. The junior has been able to get her fill of contemporary works through an after-school book club, which Ms. Brown also belongs to. Her view of Shakespeare and other writers, however, turned favorable as she began to recognize the universal and enduring topics they present.
"My point of view on this has changed, because I've been able to learn different things from those books," such as "Romeo and Juliet" and other established fare, Ms. JanVier said. "When you take an in-depth look at a book, you can see its value."
Teachers at Evanston have tried to help students grasp the lessons in traditional readings by comparing those texts with contemporary titles that have similar themes, according to Cassie Schatterly, who teaches English and reading. Teachers in her department have worked to pair traditional and young-adult novels to bolster their lessons and increase students' interest in both, she said.
That strategy has proved effective for helping students connect with more traditional texts, said Mr. Lindblom.
"You can take some of the feelings of alienation from a book like Speak and compare it to Hester Prynne's behavior in The Scarlet Letter," he said. "When you use a young-adult text, … it allows [students] to think about more complex themes in more accessible terms, and then you can teach it in conjunction with a text that is more difficult."
Life's Struggles
Popular texts have long created a stir in the classroom, Mr. Applebee points out.
Not too many years ago, works by Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison came under regular fire for the authors' frankness about sexual assault and other issues considered taboo. But now those works, while still controversial in some places, have earned them a prominent place in the high school curriculum at large, according to Mr. Applebee.
"People forget that what we teach now started off as contemporary literature" that was often considered dark and controversial, he said. Those older works are more accepted, he added, because of "the cushion of time and their acceptance in the canon."
Many experts argue that there is room for both in the curriculum, and teachers don't have to sacrifice quality to incorporate newer texts.
"Some young-adult literature is very challenging in its own right," said Janet Alsup, who teaches English education courses to aspiring teachers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. "Many of the books deal with complex narratives and story lines, characters that go through a great deal of change and struggle."
Those struggles may make the texts a target of criticism. Ms. Brown and some of her friends at Evanston High, however, prefer stories that reflect some of their own struggles, and portray life honestly.
"Not every book has to end happy," she said. "Maybe we can relate to books more if they're about real things we're dealing with, or maybe they will make me stretch my mind so I can understand other people's problems more."

Abbey Road, E15
Abbey Road has a name derived from the Cistercian abbey of Stratford Langthorne. The abbey was founded about the year 1135 by Walter de Montfichet. It was a 'daughter house' of the monastery of Savigney, France. The Cistercian Monks here were known as the 'white monks' due to their white habits. The pathway which is now Abbey Road may even predate the abbey - it became a route from the church in West Ham Church to the abbey.
The abbey had a particular responsibility for the upkeep of the nearby bridge over the River Lea.
Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith wrote a history of East London in 1939 and discussed the nursery rhyme 'London Bridge Is Falling Down'. The verses in the rhyme about repairing the bridge with bread, iron, gold and silver applied to the Lea bridge nearby he proposed as the monks used these very items in their time.
Henry VIII dissolved the abbey and the duty to drain the marsh was passed to the new owners of the lands that once belonged to the abbey.

The Red Lion was one of two pubs in Green Street. The other pub, [[34056|The Green Willows]], lay a little way to the south.
On the 1900 map, the Red Lion's position is marked as a post office but it seems to have been licensed from 1891 onwards by the Weekes family (George, Alfred and Mary Ann).
Mrs Jemima Larkin took over in 1929 and was licensee throughout the 1930s. The Red Lion was in the 1950s run by a man called Ted Oakley.
A bus stop stood outside which served the 358 bus.
The Red Lion was finally demolished in 1962. It is thought that its business declined as newer pubs more convenient to the new Borehamwood estate were built.
Green Street was once a separate village from Borehamwood but is now on the edge of its urban area. Green Street is the modern name for the road which runs through the area, north to south, and which connects Borehamwood with Shenley.
On maps issued in 1900, the southern part of the hamlet is shown as being called Greenstreet Hill, dominated by a large house called 'Campions' (later giving its name to a local school).
Two farms, Leggats Farm and Cowleyhill Farm once lay to the south.
The main part of the village in former times lay to the north of the modern junction with [Stapleton Road, WD6|Stapleton Road].
The village supported two pubs at the turn of the twentieth century - the [[51202|Red Lion]] and the [[34056|Green Willows]]
Green Willows
The Green Willows pub seems to have existed from 1871 until the turn of the twentieth century. It was one of two pubs in [[2401|Green Street]] - the other was the [[51202|Red Lion]] - and was positioned at one end of a long brick building containing four cottages and the pub itself. The pub was in the ownership of the Crawley family.
Along the row of cottages - at no.91 - an infamous Victorian murder took place. Henry Cullum had fallen for his neighbour Emily Bignall, and they had been courting throughout 1887 and early 1888.
On March 7th, neighbours heard a man shout: "You Beast!" Then two shots were fired and Emily fell to the ground. Emily's mother, Sarah Bignall, recalled:
"My child fell into my arms and said 'Oh Mother!' She was bleeding from the neck and holding her apron up to her neck on both sides. I dragged her towards my door and she fell to the ground. I put my fingers to try and stop the blood and then I saw it rush out the other side. l ran to the door and shouted 'Murder'. I remember no more and believe I fa...
Farringdon Road, EC1R
Farringdon Road is a road in Clerkenwell and Finsbury. The construction of Farringdon Road, which took almost 20 years between the 1840s and the 1860s, is considered one of the greatest urban engineering achievements of the 19th century. Not only was it one of the first engineered multi-lane roads, but it also buried the River Fleet in a system of underground tunnels, solving one of London's most daunting sanitary problems. Its construction also included the building of the world's first stretch of underground railway, a branch of the Metropolitan Railway that later became part of the London Underground running beneath Farringdon Road from King's Cross St. Pancras into the City at Farringdon.
Like Clerkenwell Road and Rosebery Avenue, it had an enormous impact on the terrain, not just as a new route and topographical boundary across a tortuously laid out district, but also in bringing about wholesale redevelopment of the building fabric. With the making of the road some of the worst social and sanitary blots were eras...
Exmouth Market, EC1R
Exmouth Market, formerly Exmouth Street, is semi-pedestrianised - the location of an outdoor street market. Tea-gardens and other resorts grew up in this area from the late seventeenth century, and house-building began to take off in the second half of the eighteenth century, spreading as these attractions went into decline. Historically, the line of what is now Exmouth Market marks the division between this early house-building and the much more extensive development to the north that followed the end of the Napoleonic Wars. But while the two sides of the street were built up in different periods, they were topographically part of a continuum extending north over the rest of the old Spa Fields. There Wilmington Square, conceived in 1817, was the centrepiece of a collection of new streets.
Exmouth Market contains two of Clerkenwell's outstanding architectural monuments: Tecton's Finsbury Health Centre in Pine Street, and J. D. Sedding's Church of the Holy Redeemer, opened in 1888. Also here is the principal historic records office for London, the London Metropolitan Arc...
Coulsdon is a town mainly within the London Borough of Croydon, approximately 13 miles from Charing Cross. The location forms part of the North Downs. The hills contain chalk and flint. Several dry valleys with natural underground drainage merge and connect to the headwaters of the River Wandle, here named the 'River Bourne'. Although the Bourne river floods periodically, the soil is generally dry and is the watershed which has constituted a natural route way across the Downs for early populations. Fossil records exist from the Pleistocene period (4 million years ago)
There is evidence of human occupation from the Neolithic period, Iron Age, Anglo-Saxon, Bronze Age, Roman and Medieval. It appears as Colesdone in the Domesday Book.
Most housing in Smitham (Bottom/Valley) and the clustered settlement of Old Coulsdon, as well as the narrower valley between them, was built in the 80 years from 1890 to 1970. The area developed mixed suburban and in its centre urban housing.
Old Coulsdon occupies the south-east of the district. Scattered, rather ...
Vestry House Museum
Vestry House Museum presents the history of Waltham Forest. Situated in Walthamstow Village, the building used to house the parish workhouse, and was later a police station and private home.
It now contains themed displays capturing the unique heritage of the local area and includes the famous Bremer Car, a Victorian parlour, costume gallery and wonderful display of locally manufactured toys and games.
A collection of 80,000 historic photographs from across the Borough is accessible to everyone by appointment. The beautiful volunteer-run garden is an oasis in which to relax and enjoy the arrival of spring.
Apex Corner
The A1 (Barnet Bypass) and A41 (Watford Bypass) converge at Apex Corner roundabout. Apex Corner was the site of the Apex Garage, built beside the roundabout - itself part of a 1920–4 road improvement programme. Although it is still officially named Northway Circus, the garage, now gone, gave its name to the area.
A landmark pub, The Royal Scot, stood at the junction - this turned into a Kentucky Fried Chicken and then later a hotel. Still later, a McDonalds arrived there.
The 100 square metres that covers the A1 and A41 junction and nearby in Selvage Lane, the M1 running under a bridge, was for a while in the 1990s the UK's busiest square kilometer, measured by traffic flow.
Trafalgar Square, SW1Y
Trafalgar Square commemorates Horatio Nelson's 1805 victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. Trafalgar Square was built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross.
The site of Trafalgar Square had been a significant landmark since the 13th century and originally contained the King's Mews. After George IV moved the mews to Buckingham Palace, the area was redeveloped by John Nash, but progress was slow after his death, and the square did not open until 1844. The 169-foot (52 m) Nelson's Column at its centre is guarded by four lion statues. A number of commemorative statues and sculptures occupy the square, but the Fourth Plinth, left empty since 1840, has been host to contemporary art since 1999.
The square has been used for community gatherings and political demonstrations, including Bloody Sunday, the first Aldermaston March, anti-war protests, and campaigns against climate change. A Christmas tree has been donated to the square by Norway since 1947 and is erected for twelve days before and after Christmas Day.
Camden Road, NW1
Camden Road is a main road running from Camden up to Holloway Road. Camden Road is an old route which begins at Britannia Junction, the confusing hub of Camden Town from which many roads emanate.
It proceeds in a straight line north-east, over the Regent's Canal and under the railway. After climbing a short hill, it ends at Holloway Prison.
Chesham is the fourth largest town in Buckinghamshire, situated on a spur of the Metropolitian Line - the further point from the centre of London of any other tube station. The town is known for its four Bs, usually quoted as:- boots, beer, brushes and Baptists.
Chesham's prosperity grew significantly during the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of manufacturing industry.
In the face of fierce competition from both home and abroad all these traditional industries rapidly declined. The ready availability of skilled labour encouraged new industries to the town both before and after the end of the Second World War.
Today employment in the town is provided by mainly small business engaged in light industry, technology and professional services.
From the early part of the 20th century onwards there has been a considerable expansion of the town with new housing developments and civic infrastructure. Increasingly Chesham has also become a commuter town with improved connection to London via the Underground and road networks. The town centre has been progressively redeveloped since the 196...
Angel Alley, E1
Angel Alley was a narrow passage which ran north-south from Wentworth Street to Whitechapel High Street.. The alley sits immediately to the east of George Yard, evident as early as 1676 and named after the Angel Inn which stood on its south-west corner with Whitechapel High Street.
Known in the 19th century for its Irish tenants who aggressively managed to keep rent-collectors at bay for considerable periods of time.
The northern end of Angel Alley consisted of several lodging houses, initially owned by Samuel Magill from 1866-72 and then by George Wildermuth from 1873-8.
At approximately 11.45pm on the night of 6th August 1888, after spending the evening with Martha Tabram and two soldiers, Whitechapel Murder victim Mary Ann Connelly, aka 'Pearly Poll' took one of the soldiers into Angel Alley presumably for sex, whilst Tabram did likewise in George Yard.
The northern end of the alley was heavily redeveloped following the building of Wildermuth's Lodging House in 1893, which effectively made it a much shorter dead-end. Th...
Goldhawk Road, W12
Goldhawk Road is a main road in West London, which starts at Shepherd's Bush and runs west. Goldhawk Road's name derives from one John Goldhawk, who in the late 14th century held extensive estates in Fulham.
Goldhawk Road was of little note until the mid-seventeenth century, when a cottage on the street became the home of one Miles Sindercombe, a disgruntled Roundhead who in 1657 made several attempts to assassinate Oliver Cromwell. Sindercombe planned to ambush the Lord Protector using a specially built machine with muskets fixed to a frame. His plan failed, Sindercombe was sentenced to death, and his cottage was eventually demolished in the 1760s.
A map of London dated 1841 shows Goldhawk Road forming the southern boundary of Shepherd's Bush Green. At that time Shepherd's Bush was still largely undeveloped and chiefly rural in character, with much open farmland compared to fast-developing Hammersmith, and several ponds or small lakes. Scattered buildings are shown, mostly lining the main thoroughfares of Wood Lane, Cumberland Road (now t...
Fulham Broadway
Fulham Broadway station is notable as the nearest station to Stamford Bridge stadium, the home of Chelsea Football Club. The London Oratory School is also nearby. Fulham Broadway station is notable as the nearest station to Stamford Bridge stadium, the home of Chelsea Football Club. The London Oratory School is also nearby.
The station was opened as Walham Green on 1 March 1880 when the District Railway (DR, now the District line) extended its line south from West Brompton to Putney Bridge. Due to the area's poor Underground links, it is the station used locally by many residents of the western part of neighbouring Chelsea.
The original station building was replaced in 1905 with a new entrance designed by Harry W Ford to accommodate crowds for the newly built Stamford Bridge stadium. It is now a Grade II listed building.
The name was changed to its current form on 1 March 1952 after representations from Fulham Chamber of Commerce.
In 2003 the street-level station building at the southern end of the platform was closed and a new entrance was opened within the adjacent Fulham Broadway ...
Finsbury Park is an area in north London which grew up around an important railway interchange near the borders of the London Boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney. Finsbury Park is not to be confused with [Finsbury|Finsbury] which is 5.3 km further south in the London Borough of Islington.
The area is centred on Finsbury Park station, a major bus, rail and tube interchange near the southern end of the public park of the same name.
The surrounding area has a cosmopolitan feel, as reflected by the wide variety of shops and establishments on Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road and Stroud Green Road. The North London Central Mosque (formerly the Finsbury Park Mosque), which drew attention for extremist activity before a change in leadership in 2003, is located here. Arsenal Football Club's Emirates Stadium is nearby.
Finsbury Park station first opened on 1 July 1861 and was originally named Seven Sisters Road (Holloway). It is on the route of the East Coast Main Line from King's Cross to the north of England and Scotland. The southern section of this was built in stages during the 1840s and ear...
Hillfield Court
Hillfield Court is a prominent art deco residential mansion block in Belsize Park, in the London Borough of Camden, built in 1934. It is one of the many purpose built mansion blocks on Haverstock Hill between Chalk Farm and Hampstead. It is close to the amenities near Belsize Park tube station, as well as the shops of Belsize Village, South End Green and Hampstead.
Hillfield Court sits on what was once a large country estate known as the Belsize Estate. The first recorded building on the site of what today is Hillfield Court was built in around 1646. It was known as the Blue House and was one of many rural abodes in the area belonging to wealthy merchants, who wanted a country residence within easy reach of London. The Blue House was accessed directly from Haverstock Hill. Little is known about the residents of the Blue House but evidence suggests that in 1650 it was occupied by one John Mascall and in 1679 by Thomas Butler. Between 1761 and 1773, the house was rebuilt and extended by merchant William Horsley.
In 1808, the Belsize Estate was split into 9 leasehold estates. The Hillfi...
Lea Bridge Road, E5
Lea Bridge Road is a major through route in east London, across the Lea Valley from Clapton to Whipps Cross in Leyton. In 1582 Mill Field Lane ran from Clapton to Jeremy's Ferry in the Leyton Marshes.
Replacing the ferry, a timber bridge was built in 1745, and the road became known as Lea Bridge Road, with a tollgate at the Clapton end. A toll house was built on the west bank of the river in 1757, and the bridge rebuilt in iron in 1820–1. Tolls continued to be levied until 1872.
The second road bridge opened circa 1890 and the present third Lea Bridge Road Bridge was opened during August 1995.
Lea Bridge
Lea Bridge is a district spanning an area separating the London Borough of Hackney from the London Borough of Waltham Forest. In 1582 Mill Fields Lane ran from Clapton to Jeremy's Ferry in the Leyton Marshes. At the same spot a timber bridge was built in 1745, and the road became known as Lea Bridge Road, with a tollgate at the Clapton end. A toll house was built on the west bank of the river in 1757, and the bridge rebuilt in iron in 1820–1. Tolls continued to be levied until 1872.
Lea Bridge gives ready access to the lower reaches of the extensive Lee Valley Park, which stretches for about 26 miles on both banks of the river. Next to the south side of the bridge are two public houses, the "Princess of Wales" and "The Ship Aground". To the south are the Hackney Marshes, and beyond Leyton Marsh to the north are the Walthamstow Marshes and Nature Reserve. Below the bridge, the river flows over the Middlesex Filter Beds Weir, marking the boundary with Leyton and providing the supply for the former East London Waterworks Company.
The old Middlesex Filter Beds have been convert...
Commercial Road, E1
Commercial Road is a major thoroughfare (the A13) running east-west from the junction of Burdett Road and East India Dock Road to Braham Street. In 1802, the East India Company secured an Act of Parliament for the building of a new road beginning at the new West India Dock Gate and terminating at Church Lane, Whitechapel. The line of the new road more or less followed the path of an existing one called White Horse Lane. This pre-existent pathway through fields can be seen on maps of the time with the line of the new road already marked in. This first stage of the road was constructed in 1803.
The development of the road into a residential neighbourhood began with the establishment of sugar refineries in St. George's-in-the-East, which led to the erection of small houses for the accommodation of the workers employed in that industry. On the Stepney stretch, an attractive residential district for the well-to-do was built, forming 'Terraces' and 'Places' and for a while at least, the Commercial Road had an air of prosperity about it, reinforced by the appearance of shops.
Hewer Street, W10
Built as part of the St Charles' estate in the 1870s, it originally between Exmoor Street to a former street called Raymede Street. Alfred Hewer was the Secretary of the Land and House Investment Society, which developed the fields of Portobello Farm into streets in the 1860s.
Ernest Walsh, contributing as part of the BBC People's War in 2004 wrote about Hewer Street:
I was 17 years old when the following incident happened and was living in Notting Hill.
The street shelters were erected just after the outbreak of war. The low square buildings were fitted with bunks to sleep 10 persons and were sited along the road-side.
For nearly two years since 1940,vhen the raids on London really started, the brick built shelters had been our sleeping quartets; built mainly to protect civilians from shrapnel and falling masonry.
As soon as the warning sounded, the family would gather bedding, tea-pot and kettle, and settle down for the night; knowing that there would be no reprieve until the dawn. No luxuries, such as running water, toilet facilities or li...
Boston Manor is a London Underground station serving the Boston Manor area between Brentford and Hanwell in west London. Boston Manor station was opened by the District Railway (DR), on 1 May 1883 on a line to Hounslow Town (located on Hounslow High Street but now closed). The station was originally named Boston Road. The signs on the platforms gave the name as Boston Manor for Hanwell.
Electrification of the DR's tracks took place between 1903 and 1905 with electric trains replacing steam trains on the Hounslow branch from 13 June 1905. The station was given its current name on 11 December 1911.
Between 1932 and 1934 the station was rebuilt to replace the 1883 station building.
The new station was designed by Stanley Heaps in the modern European style used elsewhere on the Piccadilly line by Charles Holden. The design uses brick, reinforced concrete and glass. Occupying a narrow site because of the approach to the adjoining depot, the station was built out over the tracks. The distinctive tower feature, with an illuminated leading edge and roundel rises h...
27A Theobald Street
27a Theobald Street was once Boreham Wood's first purpose-built school. Since the introduction of the Education Act in 1870, making it compulsory for children under the age of ten to go to school, another building down the road at number 35 Theobald Street had been used as a temporary infants' school for the area.
Boreham Wood was not a parish in its own right until later and so the area did not have a junior school of its own. Older pupils had to walk to the Elstree National School or Medburn Boys' School, which was on the route to Radlett."
But in 1896, the building, which still stands at 27a Theobald Street, was erected. It is thought to have been constructed using bricks mined from a quarry off Deacons Hill Road, in Elstree.
At its peak, the school took up to 66 pupils. With the building being so small in structure, classes were divided, with a screen partition used in the middle of the room.
The building was also used by the Town Council for meetings in the early 20th century.
Stag Lane, NW9
Stag Lane follows the line of an old country track. Stag Lane was formerly known as Tunworth Lane, after an estate which existed both sides of the road at its Burnt Oak end.
Many roads converged on Kingsbury Green and Stag Lane was one, running from Roe Green to Redhill - an old name for Burnt Oak. Many modern roads in the area had earlier names. From Kingsbury Green, Ox Street or London Lane and later Kingsbury Road, ran eastward to the Hyde; Buck Lane, earlier known as Stonepits or Postle Lane, ran northward from Kingsbury Green to join Hay Lane, a road mentioned in the 13th century. Church Lane, in 1563 called Northland Lane, ran southward from Kingsbury Green to the church and Green Lane joined the green to Townsend Lane, known as North Dean Lane in 1394 and 1503. On the west Gibbs or Piggs Lane joined Kingsbury Green to Slough Lane or Sloe Street, as it was called in 1428. The southward extension of Slough Lane, Salmon Street, was called Dorman Stone Lane in the 15th and 16th centuries. The portion of road between t...
Theobald Street, WD6
Theobald Street runs from the centre of Borehamwood to the centre of Radlett. Theobald Street was, until the twentieth century, the high street of Borehamwood. Shops run along the street between the Crown pub and Brickfield Cottages. Only with the arrival of the film industry did Shenley Road begin to take over this function.
The "street" part of the name is derived from an often-used Hertfordshire term for a hamlet which lies on a long road - other examples are Colney Street and, more locally, Green Street. In modern times the street was named after that of the hamlet - this is the reason it is a 'street' rather than a 'lane', despite its rural setting.
Theobald Street was, were created as a result of the Enclosure Act of 1776, whereby Boreham Wood Common was divided up amongst various landowners.
While associated more now with Borehamwood, the hamlet of Theobald Street lay nearer what is now Radlett and indeed was a former alternative name for Radlett. In 1718 the bridge over a stream between Radlett and C...
An Omnibus Ride to Piccadilly Circus
An Omnibus Ride to Piccadilly Circus, Mr Gladstone Travelling with Ordinary Passengers, 1885 An Omnibus Ride to Piccadilly Circus shows Mr Gladstone, the British Prime Minister, travelling with ordinary passengers.
The description of the painting also says that it includes a self portrait.
We can assume that the artist, Alfred Morgan, is seated next to the Window on the left hand side.
Golders Green, looking south (1905)
This photo from the London Transport Collection shows Golders Green crossroads looking south in 1905. While this predates the arrival of the Hampstead Tube (Northern Line) by a couple of years' land speculation is already taking place. At the beginning of the 20th century Golders Green was a small rural hamlet with only a few houses, but the opening of the railway stimulated a rapid building boom causing the number of houses and the population to increase greatly.
The photographer is standing in a position which would see them directly underneath the earth of the Golders Green railway viaduct by 1907.
St James's Place, EC3A
St James Place was an open square, formerly Broad Court, which held a daily market that sold fruits of various kinds. The fruit of the orange tree was the most predominant and therefore the locals gave this market the name of 'Orange Market'.
In the middle of St James Place stood a manned Fire Station. Made of wood, it was around 1888 that this structure was converted to brick. It had 3 men on duty over the evening period and outside was a cart with ladders. Next to this station was a free standing gas lamp. Another lamp was situated right above the covered entrance of St James passage that led to Mitre Square. Apart from St James Passage, access to the Place could be obtained via Little Duke Street (which crossed the top of Duke Street from Houndsditch to St James Place) in the east, or King Street in the west.
St. James' Place was later renamed Creechurch Place.
46 Aldgate High Street
This Grade II Listed office building is one of the few timber-framed buildings in the City that predates the Great Fire of 1666. In the 2010s, its office location still had a variety of former bedrooms, still wood-panelled and with feature fireplaces.
St Botolph's
St. Botolph's without Aldgate, located on Aldgate High Street, has existed for over a thousand years. The church was one of four in medieval London dedicated to St Botolph, a 7th-century East Anglian saint, each of which stood by one of the gates of the London Wall. The others erected were St Botolph's, Billingsgate (destroyed by the Great Fire and not rebuilt); St Botolph's, Aldersgate; and St Botolph's, Bishopsgate.
The earliest known written record of the church dates from 1115, when it was received by the Holy Trinity Priory (recently founded by Matilda, wife of Henry I) but the parochial foundations may very well date from before 1066. Its first recorded Rector was in 1108, predating the first recorded instance of the church.
The original Saxon building was enlarged in 1418 and almost entirely rebuilt in the sixteenth century. The church also houses monuments to figures who lived during the Middle Ages, such as Thomas, Lord Dacre, and Sir Nicholas Carrew of Beddington.
The current 18th-century church building is made of brick w...

California Democrat Barbara Boxer is the latest U.S. Senator to jump on the medical marijuana legalization bandwagon.
Boxer on Tuesday added her name to the list of sponsors for the bipartisan bill introduced last week by Sens. Cory Booker, D-NJ, Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, and Rand Paul, R-KY that would legalize MMJ at the federal level. Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada has also signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill.
The New York Times speculated that Boxer's weighty name, along with the combination of bipartisanship behind the measure, may give more political clout to the bill.
"Senator Boxer is a strong supporter of California's medical marijuana law and she believes that patients, doctors and caregivers in states like California should be able to follow state law without fear of federal prosecution," a spokeswoman for the senator told The Washington Post.
Boxer's move was welcome news to those backing the measure.
Yes! Applause to Senator Boxer!! We need to get a form setup so members can email directly to their congressman/woman and tell them to get onboard with this bill.
Lets get them ALL onboard and get this over with so the states can regulate how they please and setup tax and regulate laws for ALL states to follow..
Now is the time to act! Let congress know we are with them if they just see the light!
PLEASE, let's finally work together to right this horrible wrong, medical amd recreational marijuana needs the truth!!!

Ohio's Art and Design Colleges: Art Academy of Cincinnati
By Jay Young | Ohio's Art and Design Colleges | No Comments
Students choose the Art Academy of Cincinnati for any number of reasons including the small size of classes, the eclectic and artisan Over-The-Rhine district in which it is located, the great city of Cincinnati, or for the close interaction with a small faculty and student body – all good reasons.
The Art Academy of Cincinnati began as the McMicken School of Design, a Department of the University of Cincinnati, in 1869. In 1887 they separated from UC and moved to a location physically connected to the Cincinnati Art Museum and became their "Museum School." Until their separation and move in 2005, AAC's affiliation with the Cincinnati Art Museum impacted them in a number of ways. First, space limitations put limits on student enrollment, capping it at around 200 students. Second, synergies with the museum led to a curricular emphasis in the Fine Arts (sculpture, painting, photography, and printmaking).
In the fall of 2005, The Art Academy of Cincinnati became an independent college of art and design and moved to a new location at 1212 Jackson Street in the struggling but emerging Over-The-Rhine section of Cincinnati. A marriage made in heaven, AAC contributed to the development in the Over-The-Rhine and both are flourishing. In recent years, AAC has extended their academic offerings and are now beefing up their design and illustration majors, which have become their largest, and are adding new majors (Creative Writing in 2017 and Film Video Audio under construction) and planning to grow their enrollment. The new location, with six full floors of space, provides plenty of room for growth and puts their students close to the Contemporary Arts Center, 21C, and the Weston Art Gallery as well as in the center of the revitalized Over-the-Rhine Arts District.

SYDNEY — Ermenegildo Zegna will unveil its first dedicated beachwear collection in Australia on Dec. 8, ahead of a global release in early 2018.
Designed by Ermenegildo Zegna artistic director Alessandro Sartori, the debut collection is comprised of 67 stockkeeping units including boxer shorts, tailored swim trunks, polo and boat-neck shirts and beach accessories such as towels and beach totes.
Prices range from 90 Australian dollars, or $ 68 at current exchange, for a basic fly front trunk to 470 Australian dollars, or $ 357, for a pair of tailored trunks — which incorporate a dedicated waterproof pochette for keys or money — and reach 925 Australian dollars, or $ 703, for a striped beach tote.

The collection will be available exclusively through Ermenegildo Zegna's three Australian flagships in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and Zegna's Australian online store.

A young, hopeful doctor s memoir an unforgettable love story and an informative journey into the world of medicine and kidney transplantation that ultimately asks What does it mean to let go of something that you love, even if it is life itself When Vanesa fell in love with Robert, she had no idea that the relationship would thoroughly transform her life Robert sufferedA young, hopeful doctor s memoir an unforgettable love story and an informative journey into the world of medicine and kidney transplantation that ultimately asks What does it mean to let go of something that you love, even if it is life itself When Vanesa fell in love with Robert, she had no idea that the relationship would thoroughly transform her life Robert suffered from end stage kidney disease, which required him to endure years of debilitating dialysis to stay alive, at least until his failed organ could be replaced by a kidney transplant Although Vanesa was a primary care doctor, she developed a deeper understanding of the difficulties Robert faced with dialysis and in finding a donor Despite their being early in their relationship, she volunteered one of her own kidneys and discovered that she was a match This life affirming experience forged a bond that would become a pillar of Vanesa and Robert s marriage and the beginning of her new career.Motivated by Robert s experience and her newfound knowledge, Vanesa became a nephrologist a kidney doctor and discovered far about the realities of the specialty Shaped by Vanesa s remarkable experiences as a doctor, a woman of color, a mother, and a kidney donor, Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers is a love story, an expose, and a clarion call for us all to consider the dualities of both loving and letting go.
A really lovely memoir. Dr. Grubbs touches on kidney failure, palliative care, racial disparities, and emotional adversity in a thoughtful and honest way. I really enjoyed how she blurs the lines between professional and personal realms, delving into how her perspective shifts when she's the doctor or the family of a patient. She's got a vivid and refreshing voice. I definitely laughed AND cried more than once. I also learned a lot. So glad I read this!
As a kidney recipient I have a special interest in the topic of "Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers". I loved the easy style of the writing, the mix of honesty as she describes her personal life and her straightforward yet compassionate approach to her profession. Her CKD facts at the end of the book were not the same old-same old that is listed everywhere else. Dr Grubbs opens the door to the end-of-life discussion that so badly needs to be talked about.
This story hit close to home, I believe I won it as a winner for a divine reason. I've struggled with a family member with a similar condition, and can relate to the fluctuation of the cycle of pain and healing. It's comforting to know I am not alone in my struggles. Thank you.
Good story, good read, well written, enlightening on dialysis. All at UCSF and Delphine is in the credits.
Very moving story, would highly recommend.
I won an advanced copy of this from . I found this book very interesting. I never knew what was involved in kidney care.
