text:
Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce's Dubliners is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters-at once intensely Irish and utterly universal-may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing rich with evocative imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech and portraying with remarkable realism their outer and inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories, including such touchstones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and in the definitive text authorized by the Joyce estate-collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions of Dubliners to reflect the author's wishes-reveals Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.
Featuring a new introduction by acclaimed writer Colum McCann and the stunning cover art and sumptuous packaging that are the hallmarks of the Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe series, this edition of Dubliners is worthy of the centennial of one of the twentieth century's most important books.
James Joyce: Poems
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
James Joyce (and others)
Against the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.
James Joyce (and others)
In this powerfully influential series of short stories, James Joyce captures uneasy souls, shabby lives and innocent minds in the dark streets and homes of his native city. In doing so, he conjures uncertainties and desires, illumines moments of joy and sorrow otherwise lost in private memory, and pierces the many mysteries at the heart of things.
The Restored Finnegans Wake
James Joyce (and others)
Finnegans Wake is the most bookish of all books. John Bishop has described it as 'the single most intentionally crafted literary artefact that our culture has produced'. In its original format, however, the book has been beset by numerous imperfections occasioned by the confusion of its seventeen-year composition. Only today, by restoring to our view the author's intentions in a physical book designed, printed and bound to the highest standards of the printers' art, can the editors reveal in true detail James Joyce's fourth, and last, masterwork.
This edition is the summation of thirty years' intense engagement by textual scholars Danis Rose and John O'Hanlon verifying, codifying, collating and clarifying the 20,000 pages of notes, drafts, typescripts and proofs comprising James Joyce's 'litters from aloft, like a waast wizzard all of whirlwords' (fw2, 14.16-17). The new reading text of Finnegans Wake, typographically re-set for the first time in its publishing history, incorporates some 9000 minor yet crucial corrections and amendments, covering punctuation marks, font choice, spacing, misspellings, misplaced phrases and ruptured syntax. Although individually minor, these changes are nonetheless crucial in that they facilitate a smooth reading of the book's allusive density and essential fabric.
The Penguin English Library Edition of Dubliners by James Joyce
'Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears ... But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work'
From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life. With Dubliners, James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
'Snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves.'
From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life.
James Joyce (and others)
For Joyce, literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. Written between 1914 and 1921, Ulysses has survived bowdlerization, legal action and bitter controversy. An undisputed modernist classic, its ceaseless verbal inventiveness and astonishing wide-ranging allusions confirms its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition. Declan Kiberd says in his introduction that Ulysses is 'an endlessly open book of utopian epiphanies. It holds a mirror up to the colonial capital that was Dublin on 16 June 1904, but it also offers redemptive glimpses of a future world which might be made over in terms of those utopian moments.'
This Annotated Student Edition has full explanatory notes and line numbers for critical reference.
Two Gallants
'Little jets of wheezing laughter followed one another out of his convulsed body. His eyes, twinkling with cunning enjoyment, glanced at every moment towards his companion's face.'
'When he was quite sure that the narrative had ended he laughed noiselessly for fully half a minute. Then he said:
- Well...! That takes the biscuit!'
James Joyce's naturalistic, unflinching portrayal of ordinary working people in his Dubliners stories was a literary landmark. These four stories from that collection offer glimpses of defeated lives - an unremarkable death, a theft, a desperate plan, a failed writer's dream - yet each creates a compelling and ultimately redemptive vision of a city and of human experience.
This book includes Two Gallants, The Sisters, The Boarding House and A Little Cloud.
James Joyce (and others)
Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century.
After its first publication in Paris in 1922, Ulysses was published in Great Britain by The Bodley Head in 1936. These editions, as well as the subsequent resettings of 1960 in Great britain and of 1961 in the US, included an increasing number of transmission and printing errors. In 1977 a team of scholars, led by Professor Hans Walter Gabler, began to study manuscript evidence, typescripts and proofs in an attempt to reconstruct Joyce's creative process in order to come up with a more accurate text.
This edition uses the revised 1993 text of Gabler's version.
Finnegans Wake
James Joyce (and others)
A daring work of experimental, Modernist genius, James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is one of the greatest literary achievements of the twentieth century, and the crowning glory of Joyce's life. The Penguin Modern Classics edition of includes an introduction by Seamus Deane
'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs'
Joyce's final work, Finnegan's Wake is his masterpiece of the night as Ulysses is of the day. Supreme linguistic virtuosity conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream. Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and all official forms of English and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth century.
James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's mental illness.

'Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century' Anthony Burgess, Observer
Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Playful and experimental, James Joyce's autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a vivid portrayal of emotional and intellectual development. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane.
The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves.

'James Joyce was and remains almost unique among novelists in that he published nothing but masterpieces'
The Times Literary Supplement
James Joyce's Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. This Penguin Classics edition includes notes and an introduction by Terence Brown.
Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From 'The Sisters', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to 'Araby', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to 'The Dead', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

His stories are fillled with the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.
The stories all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of the twentieth century. They offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era long since disappeared.
James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882. He was the oldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. Nonetheless, he was educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, where he gave proof of his extraordinary talent. In 1902, following his graduation, he went to Paris, thinking he might attend medical school there, but he soon gave up attending lectures and devoted himself to writing poems and prose sketches, and formulating an 'aesthetic system'. Recalled to Dublin in April 1903 because of the fatal illness of his mother, he circled slowly towards his literary career. During the summer of 1904 he met a young woman from Galway, Nora Barnacle, and persuaded her to go with him to the Continent, where he planned to teach English. The young couple spent a few months in Pola (now in Yugoslavia), then in 1905 moved to Trieste, where, except for seven months in Rome and three trips to Dublin, they lived until June 1915. They had two children, a son and a daughter. His first book, the poems of Chamber Music, was published in London in 1907, and Dubliners, a book of stories, in 1914. Italy's entrance into the First World War obliged Joyce to move to Zürich, where he remained until 1919. During this period he published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Exiles, a play (1918).
After a brief return to Trieste following the armistice, Joyce determined to move to Paris so as to arrange more easily for the publication of Ulysses, a book which he had been working on since 1914. It was, in fact, published on his birthday in Paris, in 1922, and brought him international fame. The same year he began work on Finnegans Wake, and though much harassed by eye troubles, and deeply affected by his daughter's mental illness, he completed and published that book in 1939. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he went to live in Unoccupied France, then managed to secure permission in December 1940 to return to Zürich. Joyce died there six weeks later, on 13 January 1941, and was buried in the Fluntern Cemetery.

Core Yarn – a challenge for yarn clearers
Clearing of Core Yarns
The structure of core yarns is a special challenge during quality control. One of the typical faults is the so-called strip-back. Due to a slippage between the inner elasthane filament and the staple fibre the core is not completely covered with the cotton fibres. As elasthane and cotton have different characteristics during dyeing, these faults can become visible in the end product.
The yarn clearer Zenit+ from Loepfe with the optional LabPack is able to identify these faults very reliably. The yarn clearer utilises an optical method to identify thin and thick faults during winding. The detection of dark foreign fibres is also realised with an optical method. An additional triboelectric sensor detects synthetic foreign matter, e.g. polypropylene originating from packaging material.
Pic: Not perfectly spun core yarns result in a modified surface structure of the yarn: wrong spun into the fiber strand vs .perfect spun into the fiber strand
Due to its optical method the Zenit+ guarantees a fast and reliable detection of typical yarn faults. Even the above-mentioned faults in core yarns can be identified. This gives the Zenit+ an advantage compared to capacitive yarn clearers, which basically detect only the overall mass of the yarn.
The Zenit+ can also monitor the splicing joints resulting in yarns with only perfect splicing joints. The yarn clearer monitors every single splicing joint and classifies them. The classification enables the monitoring of the splicing process itself, and thereby identifies splicers, which are permanently producing non-optimal splice joints.

Teachers' appraisal system has improved curriculum delivery
Monday April 24 2017
Amid the heightened political activities in the preparation for elections, performance contracting for the heads of institutions and teacher appraisal reforms are gradually transforming delivery of education to children.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) introduced the two performance management tools in January last year to enhance the quality of teaching and ultimately improve learning in primary, and secondary schools and tertiary institutions.
The reforms are intended to build a performance-oriented culture and instil accountability in public learning institutions.
In performance contracting (PC), the heads of institutions are assessed against negotiated targets in the key management areas that have a direct impact on the quality of education offered.
They include teaching standards; curriculum organisation and implementation; supervision of staff; teaching and learning infrastructure.
Others are financial management and compliance with the law.
In teacher performance appraisal and development (TPAD), they are evaluated on pedagogy, particularly preparation and use of schemes of work, lesson plans and notes, and maintenance of learners' progress and assessment records.
Other important areas are innovation in curriculum delivery such as integration of information communication technology, implementation of learners' welfare programmes, participation of teachers in co-curricular activities and collaboration with parents and guardians.
From a survey carried out by the TSC recently, it is evident that save for teething challenges such as slow uptake of technology, poor Internet coverage in some areas and resource constraints, performance contracting and teacher appraisals are already having a major impact on teaching and learning in public schools and colleges.
First, there is improved time management. Because heads and other teachers have targets to achieve, and report on at the end of every term, absenteeism has considerably reduced.
Heads have become more rigorous in supervision because their targets cannot be met without teachers first delivering on their own.
They are now regularly verifying professional documents for teachers and promoting teamwork.
Even when assignments outside school or illness lead to missed classes, systems are now in place to ensure the lessons are made up for.
Learners providing feedback on attendance by teachers motivates them not to miss classes.
Every day, student leaders compile a daily summary on attendance by all teachers for accountability.
This is used by the administration to reconcile attendance records for all teachers, including the heads.
As a result, teachers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the needs of learners as their primary clients.
More teachers are preparing and using crucial professional documents such as schemes of work, lesson plans and notes and teaching aids.
Learners' progress records are well-maintained.
There is also increased integration of information communication technology in teaching, sourcing of appropriate teaching and learning materials from the Internet, and sometimes through mobile phones.
There is evidence that a collaborative culture is developing in schools where teachers involve parents and guardians in the management of learner behaviour.
Equally important, accountability structures in the management of institutional resources have improved.
Compliance with public procurement and disposal of assets laws and regulations, through tendering, evaluation, awarding and disposal procedures is becoming entrenched.
This ensures prudent use of financial resources.
Although it is still early to tell, some heads of institutions are convinced performance contracting and appraisal is the reason for their improvement in examinations.
In order to address the teething problems cited, the commission will commit more resources to induction, training, supervision and communication infrastructure to ease implementation.
Ms Macharia is the Chief Executive Officer, Teachers Service Commission

A super-PAC focused on helping Sen. Mark BegichMark Peter BegichAlaska congressional candidate has never visited the state: AP Former Alaska senator jumps into governor race Overnight Energy: Trump directs Perry to stop coal plant closures | EPA spent ,560 on customized pens | EPA viewed postcard to Pruitt as a threat MORE (D-Alaska) is off to a slow start, having failed to raise any money so far.
The Put Alaska First Political Action Committee, a group run by a former Begich donor whose aim is to help candidates of both parties, including Begich, failed to file paperwork on its midyear report, a basic requirement with the Federal Election Commission.
"We haven't raised any money yet and I thought I didn't have to file anything until we'd gotten going, so I'll have to check into that," Lottsfeldt told The Hill when asked about a warning letter from the FEC.
Lottsfeldt says the group is now lining up donors and will "have something to report" at the next quarterly filing deadline.
Lottsfeldt, who has helped Begich and Sen. Lisa MurkowskiLisa Ann MurkowskiSenate Judiciary announces Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing NRA will spend M to support Kavanaugh for Supreme Court: report Planned Parenthood launches six-figure Supreme Court ad campaign MORE (R-Alaska), formed the PAC to advocate for candidates focused on Alaskan issues rather than national ones. Lottsfeldt said he's committed to helping Begich and could get involved in the congressional race as well. But with little to report so far, it's unclear whether the organization will be a real player in 2012.
Begich has more than $2 million in the bank for the race, while his opponents have gotten off to slow starts. But the state is likely to see a huge influx of outside spending from both sides — Begich is a major GOP target this election cycle.
When asked if his goal remained raising $3 million to $5 million for the group, as he'd said in late June, he responded "I guess so." That goal is based on matching the level of outside group spending seen in other small states in past years, like Montana.
"I've never done the super-PAC business, I'm just looking at what happened in Montana [in 2012], which has a similar population and Republican bent. With how much money was spent there, that seems like a good baseline to aim for," he said.
"I'm confident that we're going to have a good showing. How it all gets quantified in the end is a little bit of a mystery to me. Once Labor Day comes people, the donors, are starting to focus more and more on this stuff."

Loved this! The stories really grab you and hold on tight, especially if you're a dog lover! But, what I also appreciated about this book was the addition of practical advice, such as what to do if you should find a stray dog, or what to pack for emergencies. While he doesn't go into too many details with his advice, it's enough to get you started.
I have never laughed and cried so much reading a book. Literally within one page. One of the most touching and heart wrenching books I have ever read. I have ended up buying it and giving it away multiple times. Great book.
A wonderful book about a kind-hearted person who is drawn to the hard work and rewards of fostering. Very realistic.

Cyclone Pays-Off and Retires Senior Secured Debt in the Process, Improves Balance Sheet and Establishes Foundation for Licensing Revenue Streams
Cyclone Pays-Off and Retires Senior Secured Debt in the Process, Improves Balance Sheet and Establishes Foundation for Licensing Revenue Streams
POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Jul 30, 2014) - Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel clean-tech Cyclone Engine, announced that its subsidiary WHE Generation Corp. ("WHE GEN") has closed its Seed Round of funding in the amount of $350,000. The financing was led by Laird Q. Cagan, co-founder and Managing Director of Cagan McAffee Capital Partners LLC in Cupertino, CA, and joined by 14 other individual and strategic accredited investors.
As a closing condition to the transaction and use of a material portion of the proceeds of the Seed Round funding, the Company paid the remaining balance of its senior secured debenture with TCA Global Credit Master Fund L.P. The payment fully retired that long-term liability and will release all of the Company's assets from a security interest and lien held by TCA.
The Seed Round funding was structured as several promissory notes issued by WHE GEN, bearing 6% interest and maturing in 12 months. The notes automatically convert to common stock of WHE GEN at a price of $.12 per share upon the closing of the first $1 million in the subsidiary's planned $2 million "A Round" common stock funding. The Seed Round and A Round financings were described in the Company's Separation Agreement with WHE GEN, approved by Cyclone's Board of Directors and signed last week. Assuming the full conversion of the Seed Round notes to WHE GEN common stock, Cyclone would continue to own approximately 43% of its subsidiary.
The financing of its subsidiary marks a material step forward in Cyclone's long-range plans of building its licensing business model on a worldwide basis, establishing new revenue streams, and growing its intellectual property portfolio.
The securities which have been offered in the Seed Round and which may be offered in the future A Round have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

The Gift of Goats
A healthy dairy goat can give up to 16 cups of milk a day. Goats are practical animals - flourishing in harsh climates while producing valuable manure to fertilize crops and vegetable gardens.
Restetuta is a woman in Uganda. She now cares for her ten year old niece Teopista. "When the goats give birth again, we will sell off some of the younger [goats]," says Restetuta. "We will use the money to buy Teopista a school uniform, books, and beddings. We can also buy food with some of the money. We know that those goats will be of benefit to us in future."

She is able to work from her home so she can be there for her children. This work has allowed her to enroll her children in school. This makes her very happy!
Maribel and her husband hope that one day they will be able to move out of the rented house and buy land for a new home.
