Notre Dame Staff Couldn't Find Blaze For 23 Min After Alarm – Paris Prosecutor
Paris prosecutor Rémy Heitz has set out a timeline of events as his office launches an investigation into the cause of the catastrophic fire that tore through the iconic Notre Dame cathedral, toppling its famous spire and bringing down most of the roof.
A fire alarm reportedly first went off inside Notre Dame Cathedral at 6:20 p.m. Monday, local time. However, according to the official investigation, cathedral staff unsuccessfully searched for signs of a fire for 23 critical minutes, and were unable to determine the reason for the alarm.
It wasn't until a second alarm went off at 6:43 p.m. that a fire was detected in the attic of the centuries-old religious landmark, French officials said Tuesday.
Heitz said the initial alarm, which was looked into by cathedral staff and not firefighters, caused the church to be evacuated but did not lead to the discovery of the fire, according to the Washington Post.
"We are favouring the theory of an accident," Heitz told reporters Tuesday, adding that the investigation into the blaze would be "long" and "complex".
"In the meantime, the church was evacuated because a Mass had just started a bit earlier," Heitz said.
An organist at Notre Dame, Johann Vexo, who was inside the cathedral at the time, told the French newspaper Ouest-France that he didn't smell or see any smoke or flames when the first alarm went off.
"Everyone was immobilised by shock for maybe a minute," Vexo said. Minutes later, parishioners and tourists emptied the cathedral, leaving just staff behind.
When he left the building about 20 minutes later, Vexo said there was still no evidence of a fire, adding that he thought it was a false alarm.
Meanwhile, the rector of Notre Dame, Monsignor Patrick Chauvet, told the French radio station France Inter that the cathedral has fire supervisors tasked with checking the attic no less than three times a day to examine the frame, adding: "In terms of security, I doubt we could have done more."
Commenting on the cause of the blaze, Paris prosecutor Rémy Heitz said there were no indications of arson so far. Investigators plan to interview representatives from companies involved in renovating the structure at the time of the blaze.
Meanwhile, in a radio interview on Tuesday, Culture Minister Franck Riester said that the cathedral's treasury of irreplaceable Christian relics — the most priceless being the Crown of Thorns believed to have been worn by Jesus Christ, and the tunic of Saint Louis — were safely stored in the Paris city hall, thanks to a heroic rescue effort led by Catholic priest and chaplain of the Paris Fire Brigade, Jean-Marc Fournier, who bravely ventured into the blazing cathedral to retrieve the holy items.
Philippe Goujon, the mayor of Paris's 15th district, told reporters that Fournier insisted on being allowed into Notre Dame with the other firefighters.
French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to rebuild the cathedral as billionaires and corporations have pledged financial donations to support that effort. France's Heritage Foundation, which has launched a nationwide fundraising campaign for the restoration of the landmark site in the wake of the tragedy, announced that it had already collected 7 million euros to rebuild the cathedral.
The iconic Gothic cathedral, located in the heart of the French capital, became the scene of a devastating blaze on Monday evening. The building was heavily damaged in the fire and two-thirds of the cathedral's wooden roof were destroyed; the main spire and clock collapsed, but the two main towers were saved.

Q: MVC Asp.Net Controller returns raw JSON to new window like my title says, I have a problem where my MVC Controller alwas returns the JsonResult in an new window and don't return it back to the ajax success event.
I also tried to GET the data from the Controller via Ajax or change the contenttype to something like "application/json", but I always get a new window with my raw Json data. In my opinion, the problem has to be something with the controller or the javascript is unable to catch the json data.
It's also not a browser specific problem, I have this in every common browser.
Is there anything I miss or is it just weird?
Controller:
    public JsonResult Update(ChangeUserInformationViewModel model)
    {
        var user = UserManager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());
        user = model.User;
        UserManager.Update(user);
        return Json(new { success = true }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

Ajax:
$(document).ready(function () {

$('#save-user-alert').click(function () {
    $("#ChangeUserInformation").submit();
});

$('#save-user-alert').on("submit", function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var url = $(this).attr("action");
    var formData = $(this).serialize();

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url,
        data: formData,
        contentType: "json",
        success: function (resp) {
            if (resp.success) {
                swal("Goo Job!", "Yippii", "success");
            };
        },
        error: function (resp) {
            swal("Failes", "Upps.. something went wrong", "danger");
        }
    });
});

});
Html:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Update", "User", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "ChangeUserInformation" }))
                            {

                                    Last Name
                                    @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.User.LastName, new { @class = "form-control", value = Model.User.LastName, id = "LastName" })

                            <button class="btn btn-danger waves-effect waves-light btn-sm" id="save-user-alert">Click me</button>

Pleas help me!

A: I think the problem is that you are using the form Submit for your ajax call.
Change your javascript code into this to remove the submit behavior:
$('#save-user-alert').click(function () {

event.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr("action");
var formData = $(this).serialize();

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: url,
    data: formData,
    contentType: "json",
    success: function (resp) {
        if (resp.success) {
            swal("Goo Job!", "Yippii", "success");
        };
    },
    error: function (resp) {
        swal("Failes", "Upps.. something went wrong", "danger");
    }
 });
});

A: You are gettting the JSON response in the browser because your code is not doing an ajax post, instead it is doing a normal form submit.
Why is it not doing the ajax submit ?
Because you do not have any code which says to do so. You are binding the submit event to the wrong element. You should bind it to the form, not the button.
$('#ChangeUserInformation').on("submit", function (event) {
     event.preventDefault();
   // do your ajax call
});

Now when user clicks the other button, it will call the submit event on the form and the above submit event handler will be invoked and it will make an an ajax call..

He was transported to Greven Field to be airlifted to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center by Boston Med Flight. Seth sustained two broken collarbones, a severe concussion and muscle trauma. While PFD Firefighters were on scene for Seth there was another tone for Ludlow Ambulance to respond to Cavendish for a male in his 30s who had fallen from a roof about 12 ft. high.
Ludlow Ambulance responded to find PFD's 2nd Lt. Nate Rose with a severe leg injury. Nate was transported to Springfield and later transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock with a shattered heel. Both men look to have a long recovery ahead of them. Nate is being told that he will never be able to walk the same again since he not only shattered his heel but also displaced several other bones in his foot.
We thank you in advance for your help as both of these men give so much to make a difference in our community and have young families with children and now rapidly rising medical costs.

For those of you who don't know one of the reasons I joined Nikonites was to learn to photograph something other than trains. I also have quite a collection, pre-Nikon and since I been shooting Nikon. Guess I have an excuse now to take some new ones and start posting.
Actually Rick, you're partially responsible for my train addiction. You posted a real nice HDR of a train at a station about a year ago which got me started hunting trains, now it's become an obession!

The Legend of the 40 Saints of Saranda, Albania
The Castle of Lekursit is one of the most important sites in south Albania | © Shkurte Ramushi / WikiCommons
Francesca Masotti
Albania is an ancient land full of legends: from north to south, generations have passed down the stories told by their ancestors. One of the most interesting of these legends is from Saranda, the unofficial capital of the Albanian Riviera, and reveals the origin of the name.
Saranda is one of the most famous destinations in Albania. The coastal town, located at the end of the Albanian Riviera, is home to some of the finest beaches in Europe and is the best place to discover the south of Albania. The town also has largest archaeological park in the Balkan Peninsula, the ancient Greek city of Butrint and many other attractions. However, most visitors don't know that Saranda is also home to one of the oldest and most interesting legends in the country.
The Rrënojat e Manastirit të 40 Shenjtorëve, or Monastery of 40 Saints, located on the top of a hill near the Lekuresi Castle and offering dramatic views over the town and the sea, is one of the most important historic monument in Saranda. Today it is abandoned, but in the past it was an extremely significant church in the area. The monastery gave the town of Saranda its name (Saranda comes from the Greek phrase ayia saranta, which means '40 saints,' from which the Albanian name originates). But why did it have this name, and why did it have such a huge influence on this town?
Saranda is the most popular destination in the south of Albania | © Gary Bembridge / Flickr
The Christian church of the old monastery was built in the 6th century and was used as a place for Christian pilgrimage in the southern Balkans. It has a fascinating but tragic history. The most famous legend says that in the year 320, in the place where the church was built, 40 Christian legionaries were put to death by other soldiers during the religious persecutions at the time of the Emperor Licinius. The legionaries refused to abandon their Christian faith. For their defiance, they were tortured, forcibly exposed to the freezing winter temperatures and left to die in the cold. In the 6th century, locals built the church to dedicate it to the legionaries who lost their lives rather than turn away from their beliefs.
You can spend a few hours here admiring the ruins of the monastery as well as the breathtaking views from the top. The old monastery walls feature mural paintings from the Byzantine era and it has been discovered that the church was functional until the 19th century. Unfortunately, in 1944, during World War II, the monastery was used as a base by German troops and bombed by British soldiers, leading to its current state of disrepair. Despite that, the site is still today one of the most enchanting places to visit in the south of Albania.
Saranda offers to the visitors the chance to combine fun and culture | © Artur Malinowski / Flickr

You're sitting the smartest, well done': Young children's embodied expe...
You're sitting the smartest, well done': Young children's embodied experiences of starting school in England.
Starting school is a significant life event and supporting this process has always been a part of my professional practice. For 25 years, I taught in Reception and Early Years settings working with children and parents, some of whom found this start to school stressful or even distressing. My doctoral research sought to understand the lived experiences of six children starting school, their parents, their Early Years educators and their Reception teaching staff. Focusing on children's physical, embodied experiences, I explored the question: 'How do children experience the transition into school in the context of their families and educators?'
Vicky Preece
Associate Lecturer with The Open University
Framing the research theoretically
I began with Bronfenbrenner and Morris' (2006) mature bioecological systems model of development because it focuses on the complexity of interactions between the child and other people and environments, directly and indirectly involved in the transition. However, I found that it did not help to illuminate or interpret significant aspects of my findings, which led me to integrate other theorists into this framework.
Bernstein (2000) enabled the exploration of the asymmetrical power relations embedded in school: within the mesosystem of school, early years settings, and home; as well as within the microsystem of the classroom between teacher-parent and teacher-child. School decides on the transition programme, in terms of visits to settings, visits into school, and information evenings for parents. Teachers control parents' access to the classroom and the timing and content of the induction process for children.
The work of Foucault (1977) was also integrated into the framework to examine the impact of these power relations on children's bodies. Schools are social institutions, sites where disciplinary practices act on the body and become visible as individuals learn to embody the identity of a school child. Disciplinary practices control the body in relation to movement, space and time. Close surveillance and correction are applied until the individual internalises and self-regulates these practices: 'discipline produces subjected and practised bodies, 'docile' bodies'' (1977: 138).
The final theoretical integration was necessary to explain the significance of the material world for children. I turned to the concepts and language of new materialism (Lupton, 2019; Lenz-Taguchi, 2010) which address non-human elements of human experience including smooth and striated spaces (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987) which individuals encounter. Paying attention to everyday materialities offered a deeper understanding of children's embodied experience of starting school.
Participants and methods
I focused on six children starting in the Reception class where I was a part time teacher. I actively carved out space for the researcher role wearing my 'finding out clothes' on days when I was there to research. I used participatory approaches to explore children's perspectives:
Participant observations in their early years settings before starting school then in school once they had begun.
Draw and talk sessions and photo tours using iPads where children drew and took photos of anything they wanted to tell me about school.
Interviews of key adults: their key early years educator, receiving teaching staff, and parents.
Children experienced the school surroundings in a vividly multi-sensory way from smelling flowers to coping with new sounds such as bells and hand dryers; from the feel of the hall floor as they sat for assembly to the sensation of wearing a tie 'This thing is stranglin' me.'
Objects were significant to their experiences; for example chairs carried meanings about when and where they could sit in relation to adults and deciphering these messages was part of learning about the culture of school and their position within it. Some objects such as taps, toilets, and hand wash were disempowering because of their relative size and scale; children were expected to adapt, rather than objects or the environment being adapted to them.
Central to their experience of starting school was adapting to the behavioural expectations of the classroom including exactly how and when to sit, speak, move and eat. Children's bodies were 'schooled' through surveillance by adults to ensure children complied; this was especially intense in key striated spaces- at carpet time and in the hall. Children found it particularly challenging to control their bodies when sitting for prolonged periods and to contain physical urges such as needing the toilet.
Children's bodies reacted to these physical demands: discomfort, hunger and fatigue were of particular note. Parents reported an increased stress in trying to meet children's physical needs at home as children were so tired it was a struggle to eat in the evening before falling asleep - homework added to this strain.
All adults emphasised the need for children to be made ready before the start to school and demonstrate the behaviours of readiness once in school. Descriptions of what adults meant by 'school ready' were about children's bodies being able to manage toileting and clothing and to control their bodies to meet the requirements of the classroom - for their bodies to be still so that they were ready to receive the teaching.
Implications of findings
The findings impacted my practice as I recognised the importance of the material world and the physical demands placed on children as they start school.
Questions I asked myself in relation to sensory experiences were:
Are any sounds, smells, textures, tastes proving challenging for children?
Can any challenging sensations be altered to improve the experience of the environment for children?
Are children encouraged to express how they feel about their sensory experiences in the new environment?
Questions I asked myself in relation to objects were:
What messages are objects conveying to children? Are these messages positive?
Are any objects disempowering children? Could they be changed to increase children's autonomy?
Are there objects specific to school that could be explained to children?
Are children encouraged to express how they feel about the objects they experience in school?
While I was able to navigate some changes to the physical demands children encountered at the start of their school life, some need to be made at policy level.
Changing uniform requirements to clothes that promote free movement and are easy to manage when toileting or changing would be empowering and help children gain autonomy over their own bodies.
Change is also needed to reduce the emphasis on formal teaching and assessment in Reception which results from baseline assessments, systematic synthetic phonics teaching from the start and setting targets for the proportion of children who need to achieve GLD (Good Level of Development). Policies that protect Reception classes as truly early years spaces would promote practices within the classroom to better meet the physical, emotional and educational needs of these four-year-olds.

Windows 10 Start Menu Alternatives
The Windows 10 Start menu lacks at least one key feature compared to Windows 7: the ability to organize it. Here's how.
By Lance Whitney
https://www.pcmag.com/news/windows-10-start-menu-alternatives
Not completely happy with the Start menu in Windows 10? It's well-designed and offers a host of useful features. You can: view the traditional vertical menu and a tiled menu side by side; access your most used and recently added apps; choose which folders appear; and switch between the standard Start menu and the fully tiled Start screen. But it's missing one key feature—the ability to organize it.
With the Windows 7 Start menu, you can create, delete, and rename folders and shortcuts. You can move shortcuts from one folder to another. In short, you can customize the Start menu so that accessing your favorite programs is quick and easy.
Windows 10, however, is more limited. Yes, you have the tiled menu in which you can organize individual tiles into groups. But the tile menu can take up a lot of room, so trekking to your favorite apps can be slow. And the Apps list simply displays all your installed programs alphabetically. There's no way to customize or organize the Apps list the way you can the Windows 7 Start menu.
Third-party start menu alternatives gained favor with Windows 8, which lacked any kind of Start menu. But you may still find them useful as replacements for the Windows 10 Start menu as they can be organized with better access to your favorite folders and software. Let's look at two such Windows 10 Start menu alternatives.
Classic Shell
The free Classic Shell utility became a hit as a Start menu for Windows 8 and carries on with Windows 10. Click on the Classic Shell Start button, and you'll have a choice of displaying the menu in a single column, dual columns, or in the classic Windows 7 style.
The dual columns display your favorite apps or all programs on the left and various Windows locations and settings on the right.
You can change the look and feel of the menu by applying different skins. Right-click on the Start button and click on Settings, and you'll find a potpourri of other options.
Perhaps best of all, you can organize the Classic Shell Start menu. Right-click on the Start button and then click on Open or Open All Users. That move launches a File Explorer window pointing to the folders that make up the Start menu. From there, you can create, delete, and rename folders and shortcuts. So for example, you could create a folder named Web Browsers and move the shortcuts to all your browsers into that one folder.
The Apps lists remains a fixture, so you can still view all your installed programs alphabetically. And you can easily revert back to the Windows 10 Start menu with a single click or tap.
Another fully functional Start menu alternative, Start10 is similar in many ways to Classic Shell. You can choose from among three looks—a Windows 7 style with two traditional columns; a "modern" style with a more sleek, transparent appearance; and a Windows 10 style with the tiled pane on the right.

Kevin Williamson bringing Jack The Ripper to the small screen
Posted on: February 22nd, 2016
Dawson's Creek aside, writer Kevin Williamson has seldom strayed too far from the horror genre. After making his mark and then some with Scream, he quickly became Hollywood's go-to guy for smart, sassy horror scripts, penning I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2 and The Faculty. He would also go on to write Wes Craven's ill-fated Cursed. His TV creations include sinister dramas The Following and Stalker, as well as the pop horror of Demontown and The Vampire Diaries, and he's about to add another to that list.
As reported by Deadline, Williamson is currently developing Time After Time for ABC, a sci-fi/horror/fantasy drama based on Karl Alexander's novel of the same name, and the 1979 film adaptation. The story concerns futurist writer H.G. Wells, who pursues surgeon Dr. Stevenson to the 20th Century, after the Doc takes it upon himself to use Wells' time machine. Initially unbeknownst to Wells, Dr. Stevenson is also known by another name: Jack the Ripper.
The 1979 film (the feature debut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer) starred Malcolm McDowell as Wells and David Warner as Stevenson/Jack. Williamson's new vision has Harry Potter actor (soon to be seen in season 6 of Game of Thrones) Freddie Stroma as Wells, and Josh Bowman (Prowl, 13 Hrs) as Whitechapel's infamous serial murderer.
With Williamson currently writing the pilot episode, these are early days. IMDb has the show listed as starting in 2016 though, so hopefully it will land before the end of the year. We'll keep you posted.


Elsa loves to tell jokes and clown about, but no one seems to laugh much any more – not since her family lost their lovely house, and ended up stuck in a dingy bed and breakfast hotel. Even in the horrible and very un-royal Royal Hotel, Elsa keeps busy cracking jokes and getting the other guests chuckling. But as things go from bad to worse, even Elsa finds it hard to keep smiling – until disaster strikes and she gets the chance to be a real star at last… Funny and moving, warm and wise, Elsa's story will touch your heart.
I think Elsa is one of the cheeriest, kindest kids I've ever read about. She has a such tough time too. Her mom is sooo depressed since they moved into some gross bed & brreakfast dump and her stepdad is a bit of a scary nightmare. She tries cheering people up by telling these awfully corny jokes, but I LOVED THE JOKES!
Unbelievable book! I would recommend it to eneybody who has a really good imagination.I liked the book because it is really like real life when u are reading it it is all described so well all Jacqueline Wilson's books are about real life and that's why her books are so good!
I am still reading this book But so far it is fantastic !!!!! Its a very humerous read .
Absolutely hilarious. It is a very heart warming read!
a very good book, Elsa is a funny kid and VERY enegetic!
Elsa loves joking around but nobody's smiling anymore not until they lost their lovely house and came to live in a cringe Bed and Breakfast hotel. When a tragic event occurs it's Elsa's chance to be a real star…..
I think Elsa's jokes are really corny. But she is favourite character.
Elsa lived with her mum in a flat. Then her mum got married to Mack. Elsa has a step sister called Pippa and a step brotheer called Hank. Mack got a good job so they bought a new house. Then Mack lost his job so they got kicked out of their house. So they went to a bed and breakfast hotel. When they got to the hotel and rang the bell no one answered. Elsa found a door that said manager on it and looked in. She saw the manager kissing a ladie and the ladie went as pink as her jumper (which was very pink) Elsa and Pippa made friends with a girl in the toilets. Elsa's room number was 608.
This book was great I loved Elsa and Pippa.
If was a very good book if you jacqueline Wilson it ws a bit boring at times but I would definitely recommend it.
This book is really funny and addictive I really admire Jacqueline Wilson for this book for creating brilliant characters this book is really touching.
A really funny book, packed full of Elsa's jokes!
this is one of the most tearful ad heart warming stories i have ever read!
i 1000% rate this 5 stars and 1000000% recomend this!!!!!!

so funny first jaquiline wilson book i read.
Great characters + great plot = great book!
it is a great story. living in a bed and breakfast hotel is a funny girl who cracks jokes and fights bullies. very cool.
I have read the Bed and Breakfast Star twice. The second time i read it, it seemed even better! I read it in less then a day, non-stop.
My Favourite Part; At the end when she is on TV.
Score Out Of Ten; 9 1/2.
I would recomend it to; Anyone of all ages.
I like this book because its funnny, emotional and a tale about family trouble.
Thanks for reading my review, i hope i encouraged you to buy the book.
This book is heartbreaking, touching and even has a little humour in it. It has a lot of reality and I could not put the ook down! Read it!
I absolutely love the author Jacquline Wilson she is my altime favourite. I started this book 3 days ago and haven't been able to put it down.The story is about a girl called Elsa who is a funny and lively character, always telling jokes. One day her family lose their home because her step dad loses his job and end up having to go and stay in a bed and breakfast. I like the part where Elsa becomes a heroine saving people when there is a fire in the B&B because the alarms didn't work. Great book, one that i'll definately read again.
I'd hate to live in a bed and breakfast hotel, it'll smell. I feel sorry when Elsa loses her house and ends up living in a bed and breakfast hotel. 3 stars.
This book is super!!!!!!!!So good ,in fact i read it in just 1 day!!!!!
this book is so great that i have read it 5 times and every time i read it got better and better !!!!!!!!!
this is a great book because it is funny and sad at the same time.
I am enjoying it up till now!!!!!


"Those who CAN...do. Those who CAN'T...teach." Not anymore!
25 October 2011, 15:03 p.m.
I'm sure you've all heard that famous adage. I used to use it myself! Not anymore.
That many tenured marketing professors don't know much about social or digital media because they didn't exist when the educators were learning about marketing, and very few of them use digital platforms themselves.
However, social and digital media can't continue to be ignored as new marketing channels. So where do universities go to find teachers who can educate students on their use in the business world? And if universities continue to disregard social media, where do students go to learn about it as a marketing tool?
The second of these two questions is easy, since students are doing it already. They attend professional workshops through organizations like the American Marketing Association that offer programs on social media almost monthly! With the cost of student memberships in professional associations being very reasonable, more and more scholars are turning to professional practitioners to educate them on new strategies and innovative models that they can't learn in the classroom.
But what about the answer to the first question: Where do universities get teachers to educate their students on the use of digital and social media? The answer is... the same: Adjunct faculty - professional practitioners who are successfully using new channels to enhance marketing strategies, improve the customer experience and generate new revenue streams every day.
Real world experience is the best teacher. Case studies can provide excellent examples of both expected and unexpected scenarios. Marketing professionals can read through suggested text books to identify whether the content is accurate or a bunch of philosophical garbage, and thus focus on those pieces that will provide the greatest value to the student.
I'm not dismissing the importance of a knowledgeable professor. But with technology moving literally at the speed of light, sometimes an experienced grunt is more valuable than a highly educated officer.

Candlewick Press announces acquisition of Jon Scieszka's DaDa Goose's Book of Complete Nonsense
Tue, Mar 08, 2016 16:15 CET
Candlewick's first project with Scieszka brings iconic best-selling author, inaugural National Ambassador for Young People's Literature to the publisher's list
SOMERVILLE, MA – March 7, 2016 – Jon Scieszka, expert deconstructor of fairy tales in such contemporary classics as The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! and The Stinky Cheese Man, will turn his anarchic sensibility to another pillar of English literature: nursery rhymes. Candlewick Press announced today that Liz Bicknell, Executive Editorial Director and Associate Publisher at Candlewick, acquired World English rights for DaDa Goose's Book of Complete Nonsense. Several children's houses participated in the auction, conducted by Scieszka's agent, Steven Malk of Writer's House.
"I laughed out loud so many times reading this witty, inventive text," said Bicknell. "Jon Scieszka epitomizes what Iona Opie deemed a necessary 'nursery rhymesical attitude toward life,' and when there is so much fun and possibly even mischief to be had making a book, I want to be in the middle of it."
Scieszka said that the book was inspired by the timeless rhymes of Mother Goose, along with other works of collage and postmodernism dear to his heart. "The idea for this book came out of playing around. Surrounding myself with the books and art and music I love most, from Borges and Barth to Duchamp, Calvino, Man Ray, and Banksy, I found my pile of myths, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes sandwiched between Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style and my collections of Zen koans. And realized: I Love Nonsense. Deeply connected literate historical nonsense."
Growing out of this love, DaDa Goose will be a collection of uncollectables: classic nursery rhymes spun on their heads, reconstructed, and lost in translation.
Bicknell said that Scieszka's deep knowledge of and affection for the works he reconfigures will captivate young readers, who will love recognizing familiar rhymes and seeing them manipulated by a master craftsman.
"Jon really had me at his FBI-style redacted Humpty Dumpty," Bicknell said.
Scieszka, appointed the inaugural National Ambassador for Young People's Literature by the Library of Congress for the 2008–2009 term, is the third National Ambassador for Young People's Literature to be published by Candlewick, joining emeritus ambassadors Kate DiCamillo (2014–2015) and Katherine Paterson (2010–2011).
About Jon Scieszka:
Born in Flint, Michigan, Jon Scieszka taught at the Day School in New York City before publishing The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! in 1989; that book has now sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into fourteen languages. His other books include the Caldecott Honor Book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, illustrated by Lane Smith, and Battle Bunny, written with Mac Barnett and illustrated by Matt Myers. The 2008–2009 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, Scieszka is also the founder of Guys Read, a web-based literacy program intended to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers.
About Candlewick Press:
Candlewick Press is an independent publisher based in Somerville, Massachusetts. For over twenty years, Candlewick has published outstanding children's books for readers of all ages, including books by award-winning authors and illustrators such as National Ambassador for Young People's Literature emeritus Kate DiCamillo, M.

immigration papers please banking perfectly legal frozen accounts investigative reporting saeed moshfegh dan hernandez josh collins jessica salazar collins california reinvestment coalition bank of america
Bank Of America Demands 'Papers Please' For Customers' Money
Looks like Bank of America is trying to get some kind of favor from the Trump administration. That's the only reason we can think of to explain yesterday's Miami Herald story about reports from LOTS of unhappy BofA customers that their accounts have been frozen after they didn't satisfy the bank they were citizens or legal immigrants. BofA insists it hasn't changed its policies and that it's simply following the best practices necessary to comply with banking security laws, but the whole thing reeks -- and is just one more reminder why anyone with a lick of sense should move their money to a credit union, thank you very much.
The reports feel like perfect little portraits of where Trump's America is headed: Saeed Moshfegh, a PhD physics grad student from Iran -- he's been here for seven years, and is married to an American -- was locked out of his account because BofA decided the immigration form for students he showed them wasn't adequate proof that he's here legally. It was, of course -- he says the bank "doesn't know how the immigration system works, so they didn't accept my document." Eventually, Mosfegh was at least allowed to withdraw his money and take it elsewhere -- BofA wouldn't let him keep the account open.
Hey, consider yourself lucky, guy. At least Trump didn't complain on Twitter that you'd finally gotten your own money back. Maybe Obama gave you that money, huh?
The banks's fuckery first came to national attention earlier this summer after a Kansas couple, Josh Collins and Jessica Salazar Collins, ignored a mailer Josh had received demanding he immediately provide proof of citizenship. They decided it was so stupid and hinky-looking it had to be a scam, and in 20 years of banking with BofA, neither had ever been asked to document their citizenship. A few weeks later, the bank froze both their accounts, and a cheerful customer service agent asked why Josh hadn't sent back that form.
After they went to the media in Kansas City, the couple started hearing from others in the area who'd had the same thing happen to them, and the Washington Post brought the story to national attention in July.
Here's the crazy thing: BofA insists this is all perfectly routine and heavens no, it hasn't implemented any new policies, heavens no, where would you get such a silly idea? All they're doing is complying with the Patriot Act and making sure nobody's sending any funny money overseas to terrorists or other bad people:
In response to an inquiries from the Miami Herald, Bank of America spokesperson Carla Molina said she could not comment on specific cases. But she said there had been no change in how Bank of America collects information from customers, including citizenship, in at least a decade. The bank attempts to contact customers before they change the status of their bank accounts, she said.
"There's nothing new," Molina said.
That there is some bullshit, according to Paulina Gonzalez, the California Reinvestment Coalition's executive director, who told the Herald in an email,
We work with consumer groups and financial counselors in immigrant communities across [California] and the country [...] This is new. We have Bank of America customers who we've spoken to who have never been asked this before last year. If they have this asked of them before they can show us proof.
Gonzalez said it was just one more example of the fear immigrant communities live with in our beautiful new hell-world: "It's like walking into a grocery store to buy milk and being asked for your citizenship at checkout [...] To be faced with this question in order to do banking seems as un-American as you can get."
For that matter, Molina, the BofA spokesperson, seems to agree, kinda-sorta, except obviously it's all just in the foreigns' (and US citizens') heads, although she put it a bit more corporate-speaky, telling the Herald the customer complaints may reflect "heightened sensitivities" at a time when immigration has become a major issue.
Which doesn't quite explain why there aren't scads of complaints about other big banks pulling this shit, and -- if you believe a government spokesperson, there aren't any new regulations out there making BofA do it, either.
Proof of citizenship is not required to open a bank account in the U.S., according to Stephanie Collins, a spokesperson for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the federal agency that supervises branch banking. Banks are merely required to identify and report suspicious transactions and maintain and update customer information, she said. Banks have not received any new instructions to collect more information about customers.
It's probably all perfectly fine, and merely another example of a big bank doing its very best to prove to ordinary customers that they're mere revenue producers, and the bank can do what it wants.
Credit unions, people.

Media releases	IM-admin	2017-05-20T07:47:28+01:00
Media Strategy:
The campaign engaged across all possible platforms in terms of broadcast and print media and extensively used social media with its own facebook and twitter accounts. It was intensive with engagement happening on a constant basis – and it significantly intensified once the momentum was underway in the Oireachtas with the announcement that the Government would review the laws on prostitution.
When the campaign membership was growing beyond frontline service providers working in the area, shared messaging became essential. Working with media experts, and using the knowledge base of the established core group, all partners were invited to contribute to what the central messaging of the campaign would be. This led to a small number of key points and asks, stemming from the singular goal of legislative change, which could be used by any partner no matter their background or area of work. Despite varying commitment, this still allowed for a consistent approach across all platforms.
One of the media strategies used, in order to maintain momentum, was where the Immigrant Council of Ireland used its internal communications resources to place op-eds on prostitution in provincial newspapers across Ireland. The focus was links to organised crime together with the frontline experience of organisations within the campaign. Through a systematic approach every county was covered, with the articles often followed up by local radio interviews. These served a number of purposes: to increase public awareness of the harm of prostitution and drive people to the action page on the website, to bring it to the attention of politicians in their constituencies and to attract new regional partners.
The cyclical nature of the campaign was also a key strength for its growth and success. Personal stories from the core partners generated media interest, which grew public involvement. This gave the campaign credibility and increased awarenes s of our goals with stakeholders, leading to increased membership. This fed the campaign's knowledge-base, leading in turn to more media attention. Each point in this cycle provided an opportunity for political engagement: media content, public engagement and partner contacts all lead to awareness on the part of politicians at a local level.
Almost without exception every press release landed on target – with the topics varying from the coalition growing, to international moves towards similar laws in other jurisdictions and/or new data from the front-line services such as Immigrant Council or Ruhama or any new research in the area.

Tunisia, Ten Years On: A Unique, Fragile Democracy
On 14 January 2011, widespread protests in Tunisia ousted president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's longstanding regime. Since then, a unique and complex democratic transition has started in Tunisia, the only MENA country to have embarked on a path of political change in the wake of the Arab spring. Ten years later, Tunisia has achieved important results, but much remains to be done.

While the recent signing of the "Abraham Accords" between Israel and some Arab States could be a game-changer in the Middle East, they have been rejected by the Palestinian Authority and several regional States, which instead remain committed to the Arab Peace initiative, a pan-Arab roadmap long advocated by the Palestinians that calls for Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories and acceptance of Palestinian statehood, offering diplomatic normalization with the Arab world in return. As new diplomatic pathways unfold, relations between the Palestinians and Israelis may nonetheless r

The Middle East's Game of Drones: The Race to Lethal UAVs and Its Implications for the Region's Security Landscape
Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), most commonly known as "drones", are making headlines due to their increasing use in conflicts around the world and, especially, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Besides their specific military impact and their consequences for warfare, drones might also have important implications for political and security dynamics in a context of both state fragility and deepening interstate rivalry across the region.

The Tunisian Economy Has Yet to Be Revolutionised
Political transitions are difficult, but economic transitions are even harder. Ten years after the uprisings that ousted long-established political regimes in the Middle East and North Africa, the social grievances and structural economic weaknesses that sparked the protests all over the region remain largely unaddressed. With its sluggish growth and high unemployment, Tunisia is no exception.
Leggi tutto su The Tunisian Economy Has Yet to Be Revolutionised
Tunisia's Democratic Decade
The founding myth of Tunisia claims that the country is the continuation of a 3000-year-old civilization. One therefore might ask what are ten years when compared with three millennia? Even if that mythical past is narrowed down to the emergence of Tunisia as a nation state, around 300 years ago, the same question can be asked: what is a decade in the context of three centuries? But when we take away mythology and consider the seven decades of postcolonial Tunisia, then those ten years mean a lot.

Tunisia and Ennahda's Post-Revolutionary Trajectory
Ten years ago, the Islamists' victory in the first truly democratic elections in Tunisia was one of the most unexpected – and perhaps unintended – consequences of the so-called 'Jasmine revolution'.
After decades of secrecy, exile and repression, Ennahda finally was legalized in March 2011 and became an integral part of the Tunisian political scene. Except for brief interludes of caretaker governments, it has since continuously been the incumbent party within different coalition governments and never stopped evolving.

Stagnation Is Not an Option: A New Momentum for EU-Tunisia Relations
Countless articles have been written over the last weeks about the situation in Tunisia, ten years after the Arab spring. The prevailing tone is bitter. Observers are now more inclined to describe the political, economic, and social shortcomings as well as the daunting challenges of the Tunisian transition rather than to stress how exceptional and unique it has been.

Dawn Unity Column: Torah can teach us how to…
Dawn Unity Column: Torah can teach us how to deal with post-COVID-19 uncertainties
Rabbi Brian Schuldenfrei
PUBLISHED: March 25, 2021 at 6:17 a.m. | UPDATED: May 24, 2021 at 12:21 p.m.
Hopefully, we will soon be able to return to the movies. What I wouldn't do to see a good ole fashioned Hollywood blockbuster on the big screen!
With all of the challenges of the past year, we all want a saccharine-sweet happy ending in our own lives as well as on the screen.
But that is not real life. Things are not just going to snap back to normal.
Businesses will need time to rebuild, people will need to heal physically and spiritually, social norms will need to be reconfigured, and the impending mental health crisis resulting from keeping people apart and our children out of school for more than a year will demand great attention.
In short, once herd immunity is achieved, there will be no "happily ever after."
As a Jew, I take comfort in knowing that while life does not afford us a Hollywood ending, neither does the Torah.
At the end of the Torah's concluding book, Deuteronomy, Moses passes away before entering the Promised Land, and the Jewish people, standing at eastern shores of Jordan River, must prepare themselves for the upcoming challenge of conquering the Promised Land. Uncertainty, nervous anticipation, and even sadness are all present at the end of this sacred scroll.
Yet, the Torah does not abandon us in a spiritual crisis.
In fact, it provides a framework for how we can all march off into the uncertainty of tomorrow.
In Deuteronomy, we are Moses recalls the triumphs and challenges, the disappointments and the miracles. As he prepares for his own death and the Israelites' new challenge ahead, he is deeply reflective. This reflection is a blessing.
And as we slowly emerge from this pandemic, I believe we too would be well-served to reflect on the troubling times we endured in order to gird ourselves for the challenges and embrace the possibilities of tomorrow.
Like the soulful and stirring reflection offered in Deuteronomy, inspire us to more meaningfully and fully live life following the pandemic.
While a post-COVID-19 tomorrow will not take shape as a Hollywood ending, we can fill the days ahead with light, meaning and happiness.
