Advocacy and Engagement: A Conversation with American Library Association President Jim Neal
For the past year, Jim Neal has served as president of the American Library Association, the oldest and largest library association in the world. He has focused on making the organization more accessible to its members. "We are working on changing the annual and midwinter conferences to make them richer and programmatic and responsive to our users," says Neal. During a recent visit to Georgia, we sat down with Jim at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library to talk about advocacy, community engagement, and the importance of libraries.
Georgia Public Library Service: Why are libraries important?
JN: Libraries have an important role in helping people be successful in their lives. They help make communities healthy by providing a range of information services, lots of good content, important programs and support, and in many ways, libraries are an anchor in their communities. Libraries are places where people can come and they're not asked who they are or why they're there. There are not many places in this world where that is the case.
GPLS: How can libraries advocate for support from legislators and policy makers?
JN: Librarians and library workers need to be knowledgeable about the legal and legislative issues. We need to be willing to get involved in the work of political advocacy, to speak to our local elected officials, and to work with people we send to Washington to get them to understand how central our libraries are to our communities. We need to let them know what impact a legislative action has and how important funding is to the works of libraries. That means that we need to bring our elected officials into our libraries to show them the exciting things that are going on there.
GPLS: What skills and training do you consider to be most relevant for 21st century librarians and library staff?
JN: There needs to be a firm grounding in the values and principles of librarianship. There are certain things that we represent and care about. Whether it be the equity of access or issues such as intellectual freedom and privacy, we need to be grounded in those values.
We also need to have a very strong orientation to our users and service commitment, because that's ultimately what we are about – helping our users find information and be successful in their lives.
The library going forward is going to require continuing education around the technologies that impact our work and enable us to serve our communities. It is also important that people who work in libraries have a sense of social justice, recognizing that we are an important player
in making sure that all people are served and that there is not discrimination or bigotry in the work of our communities. We help people be successful by breaking down many barriers. I think libraries need to be a part of that solution.
GPLS: What current events or issues should libraries pay close attention to?
JN: We need to remain focused on the things that are central to our work. Clearly, the funding that comes out of our states and local governments, but also the federal level. We need communicate the importance of that. Each year, we see at the federal level funding for libraries being eliminated and we have to fight back in order to get it restored. This year, we actually got a little bit more money, which was a real important progress.
There are lots of very complex issues around government information, copyright, telecommunications and internet that are central to our work. We need to be seen at the table for those types of questions. We also have a strong interest In issues around gun violence, immigration, economic inequality, bigotry and racism. We need to be prepared to support our communities in terms of understanding those issues and bringing people together to talk about them, and by also representing how important it is to not go down inappropriate paths to reinforce those things which are so negative to our society.
GPLS: As library users expectations grow and evolve, which ones should libraries focus on addressing?
JN: Our users are focused on content. They see the library as playing a very important role in putting them in touch with reputable, correct, and factual information. That is particularly valuable in the Internet world, where so much information is accessible, but not always accurate, current, or dependable. Libraries must serve that role.
We are also critical in putting our users in touch with technology. Our students and many people in our community have iPhones, iPads, and other tools, but sometimes they need higher-end technology. They might need a larger screen for greater accessibility. They need tools and applications they may not be able to get themselves. The library plays a role in not only implementing but supporting the use of those technologies.
Library workers need to be willing and able to reach outside the walls of the library and be involved in the community. Lots of libraries are involved in providing, for example, a meal program every summer when young people may not have access to breakfast and lunch in their schools. Libraries are critical in helping people come together around book clubs and bringing communities of interest together to read, talk, and learn together. We are very involved with small businesses and people in our communities who want to start new businesses. We provide access to a lot of information about products and markets, but also the tools for starting a small business. All of those add up to a very different role for libraries in the communities and supporting users.
There's another aspect of our work which is also very important in both academic and public library settings, and that is working with new immigrant communities. We know that there are lots of people who live in our cities and are on our campuses who come from other countries around the world. Libraries play a role in providing them with an understanding of this country. Many public libraries provide English language classes, as well as provide access and support to get health services and community services. That type of diversity in terms of who we work with and the types of users we define as our community is really important.
GPLS: Just for fun… do you prefer e-books or printed books?
JN: It depends on what I'm doing. For research, I want e-books. If I am doing work on economic history, for example, I would like to have a database of 10,000 e-books so that I can search across that literature and find connections and relationships between ideas. I can also access them wherever I am and don't have to compete with others to be able to read that work. But if I am at home late at night sitting on the couch or somewhere on a cruise ship, sometimes that printed books feels good. There are advantages on both sides, and for me, it comes down to why I'm reading that book.

CLV: Understand and Use "Customer Lifetime Value"
Customer Lifetime Value (or CLV for short) is one of the most important – and yet, one of the most often ignored – aspects of running a successful business.
CLV reflects the total value, in financial terms, of one particular customer during the course of your mutual business relationship, or the average amount of money they spend on one purchase, times the number of purchases per year, times the total number of years they stick with you as a customer. An even easier way of calculating it could also be by subtracting the total cost of retaining a customer from the total revenue they bring to the table.
However you choose to look at it, determining each individual consumer's CLV can help you retarget your marketing efforts, retain your most valuable customer,s and save you heaps of money in the long run. Let's take a closer look at the reasons why Customer Lifetime Value can be a valuable tool to retain your best customers and increase your overall profits.
One reason why CLV should take a place of pride in your business strategy is that it allows you to divide your customer base into separate segments. Too many businesses still devote their entire budget to mass marketing, targeting both valuable and non-valuable customers at the same time. The truth is, however, that most businesses rely on a minority within that customer base for the majority of their overall profit. Dividing your customers in separate groups based on their CLV level will allow you to determine who has the highest value. It is exactly those customers you should be targeting with your marketing projects and email campaigns. Once you stop focusing on consumers who hardly leave any margin for profit, you will be able to decrease your marketing costs and increase your overall sales.
Not only are those customers with a high CLV more valuable for your business, they are also much more attractive from a marketing point of view. Consumers who are already spending a lot of money buying your products or services will also be more easily tempted to spend more. By creating special offers for or upselling to your high-value customers, your chances of success are multiplied. On the other hand, promotional offers will do little or nothing to tempt those consumers who have shown little or no interest in your business in the first place.
Apart from mass marketing aimed at their existing customer base, many companies also make the fatal mistake of spending more time, effort and money on attracting new customers than on keeping existing ones. However, once your CLV calculations point out the extra money and savings to be made on certain customers, it can help your marketing experts realize where your real profit lies. Increasing your customer base is, of course, important, but should never be put ahead of the valuable customers you already have. And did you know that customer acquisition actually requires more time and money than customer retention? If you do the math, you will realign your focus in no time.
Bigger does not necessarily mean better, and this old adage should definitely be adhered to when it comes to marketing campaigns. By focusing on a small but crucial part of your customer base, you can help your business grow on every level.
How to calculate your CLV.


Yoga's impact on the mind's and bodies of black women can positively affect the special challenges black women face in life. Overcoming these challenges allow black women to work on themselves on a deeper level - a soul level. When discussing the spiritual aspects of yoga, some people, particularly those with specific faith based practices, grow concern over whether yoga might aim to convert them to a different spiritual practice. Yoga is not religion and it is not in competition with any religion. Through all of yoga's various practices, one is cleansed, healthy, and mentally stable enough to see oneself - to truly know oneself and that is the ultimate freedom.

Enhancing student engagement in student experience surveys: a mixed methods study
Webber, M, Lynch, S and Oluku, J. (2013) Enhancing student engagement in student experience surveys: a mixed methods study . Educational Research, 55 (1). pp. 71-86.
This study aimed to explore the reasons why postgraduate students do not respond to the UK Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES). Three hundred and fifty-five postgraduate taught students from four health faculties in one UK higher education institution completed an online survey. Of these, seven participated in one of two focus groups. The online survey was completed both by students who completed the PTES in 2011 and those who did not. This provided cross-sectional data to compare both groups' knowledge of PTES and their reasons for completing or not completing it. Multivariate regression analysis was used to explore which variables were associated with response to PTES. Two focus groups were used to explore the themes that emerged from the survey in more depth. The resulting data was analysed by two researchers using thematic analysis. The cross-sectional data found that students who were not clear about the purpose of PTES were less likely to respond, independent of other potential predictor variables. Focus group data indicated that if postgraduate students felt a stronger connection to the university community they may be more likely to respond to PTES. This study suggests that higher education institutions may wish to review their strategies for advertising student experience surveys to focus more on their purpose rather than their impact.

David Axelrod, senior strategist for President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and 2012 reelection campaign, and Beth Myers (LA '79), senior strategist for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential bids, came to Tufts yesterday for a discussion on "How to Win Elections." Audience members filled the Alumnae Lounge for the event, which was co-sponsored by the newly-renamed Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life and the Department of Political Science.
Alan Solomont, the Pierre and Pamela Omidyar Dean of Tisch College, began the event with opening remarks.
"In this fascinating election year, it's only appropriate that we focus on politics," Solomont said.
Jeffrey Berry, the John Richard Skuse professor in the Department of Political Science, moderated the discussion.
"I promise you that at the end of this hour, you will know exactly what's going to happen at the end of this year," Berry joked before he began.
The first part of the discussion involved a question and answer session between Berry and the two guests.
Berry began by asking Myers her thoughts on a hypothetical Democratic presidential loss in November. Myers said she believes that the Democrats will have to demonstrate bipartisan cooperation and that they must also figure out why they do not hold as many state offices as Republicans, given that Republicans currently hold most other political offices, including Governorships and U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives positions.
"There's something that the Democrats need to learn about what's going on these days," Myers said.
Before answering the same question about a hypothetical Republican loss, Axelrod explained why he came to Tufts to have this conversation.
He acknowledged a poor overall performance in the state elections but explained that he still believes the Democratic Party is generally more coherent today than the Republican party.
While addressing why the Republicans are performing poorly in elections and why Romney did not perform better, Myers emphasized that her party does not always use the best language and that they need to change their policies to appeal to a more diverse electorate.
"We have to do much better at convincing every American that we are the party of opportunity," she said.
Myers also stressed the importance of a campaign message.
"Nothing demonstrates this better than Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again,' propelling him to great heights so far," she said.
Axelrod emphasized the importance of the overall campaign.
He then cited the seven percent increase the Obama campaign got after Romney's 47 percent video leaked.
"Then in the spirit of sportsmanship, we went to Denver and threw the debate," he joked, after which the Obama campaign led by three-to-four percent through Election Day.
When asked about a possible contested Republican convention, Myers still believes that one of the three remaining Republican candidates will be the party's nominee.
"The reason that people go to Romney and [Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul] Ryan," she said, "[is] that you can't just look at one of our very abled Governors in the middle of July and say 'Hey, meet Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders'" and expect them to be the nominee and run a campaign.
Axelrod, on the other hand, noted the irony of how Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, someone who originally bashed the Republican establishment, is now the party's last hope.
"I think it's hilarious what's going on out there," Axelrod said.
When asked about how Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can energize her Democratic presidential campaign, Axelrod cited her language and image.
"I do not believe that she will galvanize Democrats around her or her vision," he said. "[But] I think a lot of Democrats are going to be very excited if Donald Trump is the candidate of the Republican party.
Following Berry's questions, the forum was opened up to questions from the audience. Sam Berzok, a senior studying political science, asked about the impacts of data journalism and analytics on campaigns.
While Axelrod believes analytics are better than polling despite him relying on polling data, he did mention its negative impact on campaign coverage.
"I think it's kind of a shame because it's made coverage lazy," Axelrod said.
Myers, while believing analytics are important, said that they do not replace talking to voters.
Solomont then closed the conversation by thanking notable audience members as well as Berry.
In an earlier interview with the Daily, Myers emphasized the importance of remaining involved in the political process.
"I love talking to young people now, and I think a career in public service and getting involved in politics is one of the most exciting and important things for young people to do because the policies that are made today are going to affect you guys for a lifetime," she said.

Holzkirchen, April 3, 2019 - Sandoz, a Novartis division and a global leader in biosimilars, today announced resubmission of its Biologics License Application (BLA) for a proposed biosimilar pegfilgrastim to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address an FDA complete response letter received in June 2016.
"For the tens of thousands of US cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, treatment options that can be individualized right from the start, such as long- and short-acting filgrastim biosimilars, are key to help manage the risk of serious complications related to infection," said Mark Levick, MD, PhD, Global Head of Development, Biopharmaceuticals, Sandoz.
He added: "The US market is just beginning to benefit from biosimilars, as shown by the success of our filgrastim, the first approved biosimilar in the US. The submission of our pegfilgrastim biosimilar application is another step for us as we continue to lead the way in creating early and expanded patient access to life-changing biologics."
Pegfilgrastim is a biosimilar to Neulasta®** and is a long-acting version of filgrastim. Filgrastim is similar to a natural protein (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) - also known as G-CSF - produced by a person's body. Pegfilgrastim, like filgrastim may be used to reduce the duration of neutropenia (low white blood cell count) and the occurrence of febrile neutropenia (low white blood cell count with a fever). Both neutropenia and febrile neutropenia are caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy (medicines that destroy rapidly growing cells). White blood cells are important as they help your body fight infection2.

Генерал рода войск — чин и воинское звание с указанием рода войск (ранее именовались рода оружия) в вооруженных силах ряда государств и стран.

По рангу в германоязычных странах генерал рода войск обычно находится выше звания генерал-лейтенанта и ниже чина (звания) генерал-полковника. В Российской империи генерал-полковника не было, а в СССР вместо звания "генерал рода войск" существовало звание "маршал рода войск", которое было равно генералу армии (общевойсковому)  и выше генерал-полковника. В Российской Федерации аналогов званию нет.

Западная Европа

Звание появилось в Западной Европе в XVI веке с выделением родов войск (оружия) кавалерии и артиллерии: в Священной Римской империи, Испании и Нидерландах стали использовать должности (которые позже стали воинскими званиями) генерала кавалерии и фельдцейхмейстера (генерала артиллерии). В XVII веке эти звания были введены во многих других европейских странах.

В годы Тридцатилетней войны (1618-48) в имперской армии уже использовались звания генерала кавалерии и фельдцейхмейстера ниже звания фельдмаршала и выше фельдмаршал-лейтенанта. Позже в европейских странах появилось звание генерала инфантерии (пехоты). До введения в XIX веке звания генерал-полковника генерал рода войск являлся старшим генералом, выше которого стоял только фельдмаршал (или генерал-фельдмаршал).

Российская империя
Чин генерала рода оружия (генерал от кавалерии, генерал от инфантерии, генерал-фельдцейхмейстер) введен в армии Петра I в 1699 году. К концу царствования Петра I чины генерала от инфантерии и генерала от кавалерии практически перестали использоваться (вместо них чином II класса Табели о рангах стал чин генерал-аншефа. При этом сохранялся чин (должность-звание) генерал-фельдцейхмейстера — начальника российской артиллерии.

В период с 1741 года по 1796 год существовал офицерский чин — Генерал от фортификации.

Военный чин генерала рода оружия снова был введён Павлом I в 1796 году вместо чина генерал-аншефа: так были восстановлены чины генерал от кавалерии, генерал от инфантерии, генерал от артиллерии, а также инженер-генерал. Они соответствовали II классу Табели о рангах с обращением «Ваше высокопревосходительство». Генерал от рода оружия по должности мог быть генерал-инспектором, командующим войсками военного округа, руководить крупными воинским соединением (корпусом) или объединением (армией, фронтом).

"Mr. Gould Just Back From Florida"
William A. Rogers

Gould, Jay;
New York City;
"Cannot imagine what makes Wall Street so blue."
This Harper's Weekly cartoon by W. A. Rogers conveys the perceived power that financier Jay Gould had over the stock market.
In 1860, Gould opened a Wall Street brokerage and began speculating in railroad stock. During the Civil War, he traded in government bonds and gold; after the war, he used his profits to buy and sell railroad companies. In 1867-1868, Gould and his partners in the Erie Railroad Company successfully deflected a hostile takeover by flooding the market illegally with 50,000 shares of Erie stock. In 1869, Gould's attempt to corner the gold market left several businesses and thousands of investors financially ruined. Together, the "Erie War" and "Black Friday" fixed Gould's public image as a rapacious financial predator.
In 1872, Gould was removed as president of the Erie Railroad. (See the cartoon for March 30, 1872, "Justice on the Rail—Erie Railroad (Ring) Smash Up.") He continued buying and selling railroads, and became a major investor in the telegraph and mass transit businesses. In 1881, Gould bought controlling shares in Western Union, which handled most of the nation's telegraphing, and part-ownership of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad (gaining ownership control in 1886).
The context for this cartoon is a struggle between Gould's Western Union and its competitors (note the telegraph pole intersecting the middle of the cartoon) in a volatile stock market. Already troubled by lawsuits in New York and Pennsylvania contesting its charter in those states, Western Union faced another threat when in December 1882 the strategically important Burlington Railroad sought to break its contract with Western Union. (The telegraph was essential for coordinating the schedule and movement of trains.) The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company and other Western Union rivals positioned themselves to provide the service.
While vacationing in Florida, Gould remained silent about the matter. Upon his return in early 1883, he opened negotiations with Burlington, and finally agreed to sell them his Hannibal line in return for continuance of Western Union's exclusive contract with the railroad company. This was a typical Gould tactic to surrender lesser interests in order to retain or gain major ones. (In 1887, Western Union took over the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company.)
Although in 1878 Gould had suffered heavy losses in the stock market, subsequent investments made with profits from his 1879 sale of the Union Pacific Railroad transformed him into the most prominent barometer for stock speculators. The country was pulling out of the long depression of the 1870s, and Gould invested in a rising market fueled by the highest inflation since the Civil War. He created a pyramid of investments by using his paper profits to buy more stock, and those profits to buy even more stock. Other investors followed his lead.
The assassination and death of President James Garfield in the summer of 1881 caused a dip in the stock market, but did not lower the speculative fever. It is clear in retrospect, as it was not at the time, that the stock market was in the beginning of a three-year decline. In December 1881, the market dropped again, and Gould became the scapegoat. In fact, he did his best to keep the market high. In February 1882, Gould publicly announced his intention to buy stocks, and in March he showed a group of financiers his stock certificates worth $40 million which he would use as collateral to borrow $30 million for additional stock purchases. This triggered another speculative boom and rise in the market. Within a few months, however, the stock market had returned to its downward path.
In this cartoon, the stock market (left) is a leaky dam of watered (i.e., overvalued) stock about to burst. On the lower-left, investors, pictured as small and anonymous, enter the market bearing umbrellas to protect them from the overflow, while being foolishly impervious to the impending flood of financial ruin. Meanwhile, a smug-looking Gould dominates the right side of the cartoon, deviously hiding a watering can behind his back.
It was not until the summer of 1883 that Gould concluded that the stock market would continue declining, and he began to sell some of his stock. The market fluctuated over the next year, but the overall trend was downward. Finally, in May 1884, there was a full-scale financial panic which forced Gould and many other investors off Wall Street. Although he was financially injured, Gould managed to survive and continued his successful business interests.


Weeks earlier than our doggy got here domestic I have been searching for a 'list' of items that wanted performed. What should still I do the 1st day? What milestones have to be reached via whilst? such things as that. I in simple terms stumbled on one web site with any record what so ever, and this is often the one booklet thus far that i have stumbled on with any 'list'. it is not precisely what i have been trying to find, but.....best i have came across as but. behind the publication there are money off lists of items the writer, Dr. Ian Dunbar recommends. I want it have been way more broad but...again top i have chanced on thus far.
The publication repeats it is self a number of occasions. His major premise is 'all preserve canines have been as soon as simply valuable domestic dogs that somebody did not teach' There are developmental points in time for sure characteristics like chew inhibition, socialization, and others. If education within the particular parts should not performed by way of the age of particular studying occasions by way of the puppy, ..... it really is to overdue. Like for people, we will simply examine a moment, or 3rd language sooner than eight years of age, as a result of that is the a part of the mind that's constructing. If we strive a moment language on the age of forty, good, it may be performed, yet, not anything like once we have been younger. it truly is like that.
He has a publication 'before you get your puppy', i feel it might be strong to learn this ebook additionally. the 2 books overlap. the second one booklet will be more straightforward if the 1st one has already been learn. i discovered this ebook whilst my doggy was once 3 months outdated. i'm already at the back of, I so want i may have discovered his fabric earlier than bringing the puppy domestic. when you are getting a domestic dog or be aware of a person who's, please, look at this. actually, i've got came across this information no the place else. i've got 20 books and feature been looking out websites for months.
The writer has a website. It has rather a lot of invaluable info. i believe this writer is all approximately instructing humans and saving animals from distress greater than he cares approximately funds. this is often fresh. As a human, I supply him five paws. I see he has a e-book that includes either, prior to you get the dog and after. that could be a higher cut price and more uncomplicated to learn. Do examine the website. beneficial info is there. puppy superstar day-by-day or simply goggle the authors name.
The definitive e-book at the friendliest of pooches. This booklet covers every little thing concerning the choice, care, foodstuff, and coaching of Golden Retrievers, together with the background of the breed and breed commonplace; how to define a credible breeder; housetraining and acclimating a retriever to a brand new domestic; dealing with a Golden's meals and health and wellbeing; easy obedience instructions; realizing Golden habit, and masses extra.
Whilst journalist Kim Kavin determined that she sought after a dog, she did what hundreds of thousands of individuals do each year: clicked on a web picture and submitted an software. She had no concept that the lovable brindle--advertised as fit and close to her domestic in New Jersey--was truly a last-minute rescue from a gas-chamber look after in North Carolina.
If you would like your puppy to show doggy deference, tickle his goolies when he is lying on his side and watch him raise his hind leg to expose his inguinal area. " Using this excuse to give up on handling, gentling, and socialization exercises is too silly for words. If your research on dog breeds has convinced you that you truly have a difficult breed, you should double or triple the socialization and handling exercises, wind back all developmental deadlines, and start each batch of exercises earlier.
Did you remember the cardinal rule of puppy selection, that all family members completely agree? Well, it's a bit late for that now, and so I would suggest the same advice as above. As soon as you suspect you have a difficult pup, double or triple the socialization and handling exercises and start each batch of exercises earlier. Additionally, you might consider learning how to train your spouse, significant other, parent, child, or living companion. " Same advice as above: as soon as you suspect your puppy has some kind of organic problem, double or triple the socialization and handling exercises and start each batch of exercises earlier.
Give each child praise and a prize, but give special praise and special prizes to the children who can get the dog to balance a dog biscuit on his nose for the longest time— the longest sit-stay—or to get the dog to lie down and play dead for the longest time—the Callahan learns Bang! (a Down-Stay). longest down-stay. As a rule of thumb, before your puppy is three months old he should have been handled and trained (to come, sit, lie down, and roll over) by at least twenty children. Doug, a child at heart, teaches Skooter to balance a Milk Bone on his head, and Skooter has fun learning a sit-stay.


I just got back from this years Disney's Epcot food and wine festival. I went today with the main purpose of sampling many of the "round the world" foods you can eat at all the country "marketplaces" they have out.
Those are the little food booths they have out during the festival. What your suppose to be able to do is sample each countries popular, or classic dishes that are known for each country.
Sounds like a great idea! However I must say I was very disappointed. Because they have to deal with masses of people, they basically pick whatever kind of food that will hold up well being mass produced and sitting in a heating table outside all day.


First off, I love this cover.
Blood Tithe is a serial. Too many questions are left unanswered at the end for it to be anything else. Obviously, I recommend that you begin with this novel. I believe Blood Tithe is Soucy's first novel and it bears signs of just that. But Soucy manages to overcome most of those problems by keeping his characters interesting and active.
I have been trying to remember what five-year olds are like while reading Blood Tithe. I can see a person his age falling for the temptation of the forbidden. You do not have to be five to fall for the forbidden. But five is how old Jeremy is when he goes against the commands of his parents and finds his life irrevocably changed. The point in his life when the sins of World War II genetic research comes back to haunt a community. I loved the tension Soucy managed to keep going full pace when Jeremy met Howler and his desperation during their subsequent meetings.
If Jeremy had been my son, would I have become afraid of him? Ideally, my answer should be a resounding no. As most of us end up learning, reality and ideals often do not blend. I really do not know which parent I would have become.
When we meet Jeremy at 13/14 life has become dire. He has done something he feels awful yet justified about in an eye for an eye sort of way.
In choosing to jump from Jeremy as little to Jeremy as teen-ager Glenn Soucy has undertaken a task that many authors shy from for good reason. Blending the two without getting details wrong or messing up on details is where we see that a stricter editor would have made Blood Tithe great.

The 2020 Tofino Food and Wine Festival has been cancelled. (Photo - Tofino Food and Wine Festival Facebook)
B.C. liquor branch blamed for cancellation of popular Tofino food and wine fest
Organizers held the 17th annual Tofino Food and Wine Festival in June 2019
Organizers of the West Coast's popular Tofino Food and Wine Festival say the event will not be held next year because of fractured relationship with B.C.'s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.
"To the many patrons, artists, musicians, winemakers, chefs, suppliers, organizers, sponsors and volunteers who have been our partners these many years, we extend our deepest and heartfelt thanks and regrets," read a statement on the event's website Oct. 4.
"These events have all been happy, convivial afternoons of celebrating our great B.C. wineries, craft brewers, distillers and the culinary excellence of B.C.'s restaurant industry."
Organizers blamed a "terribly ruptured relationship" with the agency that issues liquor licences in B.C., saying their positive relationship with the branch this year suddenly.
"Our experience was the opposite; obstructive, hostile, intimidating and rude. We felt like an opponent."
It suggests this year, organizers navigated the permit requirements only to receive one just two weeks before the event, leading to "a great deal of anxiety, stress and pressure for the producers and directors."

This year's event, held in June, was a success, but the organization said it is not confident it will get a permit for 2020 and does not want to risk the disappointment or stress.
Andrea McQuade, a district councillor and co-owner of festival contributor Kuma Restaurant, said the cancellation was unexpected and unfortunate, and touted the event as a "linchpin" of the local culinary scene.
"To have everyone come to Tofino, a relatively small place – it gives us a boost in morale, it gives us a boost in tourism and it gives locals and tourists alike a really great time," McQuade said, adding she hopes the event will return in 2021.
The Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch has not yet returned a request for comment.

Ideology  Headline  Discursive practices  Reality construction  Media
Post-structuralist theorists think that linguistic capabilities are applied to construct identity as well as ideology, power relations, creation of knowledge and knowledge reproduction, and relations within and outside community; thus, it produces various sorts of reality versions indicating that reality is, by and large, socially constructed. Linguistic power is generally employed with the help of institutional along with organizational mechanisms and hegemonic control. As a matter of fact, political discourse has this power, along with other subtleties of power, quite in contrast to the power of discursivity acquired by media; predominantly, print media carries an extensive space for the discursive construction. Pakistani media has acquired prominence as well as freedom in past years. Consequently, people have become more media-dependent for opinion-making; particularly, the educated class, which is considered as an opinion maker, depends on newspapers. This study provides a way to understand and develop a meaning-making process in the representations of political eventualities. This study generates an awareness that linguistic choices employed in reporting the political ideologies are a very powerful tool to affect the thoughts of readers, and, therefore, print media contributes to generating diverse opinions in Pakistani society

Igoe PA hire provides PA system and other sound equipment for an outdoor event at the Clifton College sports fields in Bristol.
This was one of the more bizzare jobs we have undertaken. The sound system was to be used to amplify Carol Vauderman (Countdown etc.) & Chris Vasher (Points west) who where leading over400 kids and parents in an attempt to smash the world record for the most amount of people singing heads, shoulders, knees & toes !
The sound system comprised 4 x 450 Watt full range cabs & 2 x 600 Watt full range cabs driven with 2 x CS4000 amps giving a total power outage of 4.3 kW.
We also provided Shure PGX radio mics & stands; an Allen & Heath mixer with outboard & a Pioneer CDJ1000 to play backing music.
The world record which was previously held by Spain required more than 255 people to sing Heads, shoulders, knees & toes in unison for at least 5 minutes. TV personality Carol Vorderman who's children attend the college was leading the pack with Chris Vasher and others.
Marshals confirmed that 480 ! people where in attendance smashing the previous record set by Spain. Footage and paperwork has been sent to Guiness World Records to formally apply for record status.
We look forward to more unusual work from Clifton College.
