What's the best way to introduce children to classic literature? This is a recurring topic which each generation resurfaces and one which inevitably generates confronted positions. Is it better to quote from the original without adapting? Is an abridged version which reshapes the original language to each new group of potential readers most advisable? Is it better to completely modernise the settings and situations? Or maybe a visual approach (via comic or with illustrations à la page) can be more successful? In recent years we have seen examples of all these approaches(1) some of them more accomplished than others but all of them sharing a common goal: bringing the classics to future readers.
The Real Reads collection is one more of these attempts. It consists in brief illustrated retellings (some 50 pages and 20 illustrations plus the cover in a dustjacket, addressed to children 8-13 years old) of widely known English classics by Jane Austen(2), Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare and, of course, the Brontë sisters among others. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights are unsurprisingly the choices. Each Real Read contains the following sections: The Characters with a brief summary of each character and an appropriate illustration, The Story were the illustrated retelling can be read and a final section: Taking the Things Further where a call to read the real thing is made, Filling the Void highlights the main points of the original narrative that have been skipped or altered, Back in Time briefly places the author and the book in its time, Finding out More suggests books, films or websites and Food for Thought offers prompts to start a discussion about the book.
Both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are retold by Gill Tavner and illustrated by Vanessa Lubach. Gill Tavner says on the RealReads website:
I have long thought that there must be a way of making the qualities of 'classics' accessible to most readers, but I was unconvinced that abridging was the answer. As a mother of two young children, I have endured the pain of reading abridged fairy tales and Disney films. These often machine-gun the reader with a list of events. Rarely do they offer the reader an opportunity to develop interest in or appreciation of varied vocabulary, style or themes. Do abridged versions need to be like this? Surely there is a way to make an abridged version an enjoyable and enriching rather than simply informative reading experience? Surely this is an important distinction if we aim to nurture keen, confident readers?Surely. And Gill Tavner tries hard to retell the novels preserving some of the original language or structure. This is considerably better achieved in Jane Eyre than Wuthering Heights. The complicated structure of Emily Brontë's masterpiece is so inextricably weaved into to the novel itself than any attempt to alleviate it is doomed to fail. The machine-gun effect that Ms Tavner alludes to it in the aforementioned text is very hard to get around. Jane Eyre, however, stands the abridging/adapting process much better. The bare bones are there and some of the feeling of Charlotte Brontë's writing can be glimpsed. It is remarkable that Ms Tavner has managed to get Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfied, Moor House and Ferndean... in 50 pages! Of course, the pace is too fast and there's no psychological depth in the characters but this is the unavoidable price to pay in an approach such as this one.
Vanessa Lubach is in charge of the illustrations. This is not the first time she approaches these novels. Recently, she also created the list of Characters of the Worth Press editions (check our review here) and of course some of her previous creations have been recovered for the present editions. Only Rochester's depiction presents a clear change in tone(3). Helen Burns or Adèle Varens also present minor changes. Vanessa Lubach's drawings are in colour pencil with a watercolour underwash in many of her illustrations. This gives a naïf tone that works well with the children stages of both novels and not so well with the rest of it. A mention should be made, nevertheless, to the excellent first illustration of Wuthering Heights with Lockwood fighting in the snow to arrive to Wuthering Heights.
Concerning the final section, the constant reminding of the necessity of reading the original novel to be able to have the full experience is remarkable. The contextualising sections are just testimonial but even so it's unforgivable that Haworth is, once again, wrongly and consistently spelt Howarth and the bibliography and webs selected are highly improvable. There's a wide selection of possible Brontë biographies (fictionalised or not) available for children and, frankly, quoting the wikipedia as a possible visiting website is, to put it mildly, a bit poor. The Food for Thought section is hardly useful to teachers and educators but this seems to be on its way to being solved as some schemes of work for primary teachers have been released on their website. Not for the Brontë titles yet, but they promise more releases.
(1) You can check our section of reviews to see some of the titles: Classical Comics' Jane Eyre, Graffex Comic Adaptations of both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights for instance. And new ones are announced as the Classical Comics' Wuthering Heights or Jane Airhead by Kay Woodward.
(2) A very interesting interview with Gill Tavner about her Jane Austen Real Reads adaptations can be read on AustenProse.
(3) A softened version in this case, as the WorthPress characterisation was more in accordance to a Mary Shelley novel than a Charlotte Brontë one. It's also a good choice to obviate Bertha from the characters list as it will give too many clues to new Jane Eyre readers.

Adrian Sutil is holding no grudges following his incident with Force India team-mate Paul di Resta in China.
The duo made contact on the opening lap at Shanghai, which resulted in Di Resta losing several places and eventually finishing P8. Deputy team principal Bob Fernley admitted afterwards that they will "sit them down" to discuss the incident.
The clear-the-air talks have clearly had the desired effect as Sutil, who was forced to retire after Esteban Gutierrez made contact with him on lap five, has already moved on.
"The race was very short. I had a little incident with Paul early on, but we spoke about it, and there's no problem," he said.
"For the next few laps I was catching up the cars in front and then Gutierrez just missed his braking point and crashed into my rear. It's frustrating, but what can you do? He will learn so there are no hard feelings. Hopefully he will not do it again."
Having missed out on some points in China, Sutil heads to Bahrain this weekend hoping for a better race.
"It's never easy, but I think we can learn quite a lot out of the race," he said. "The pace was not so good at the beginning, but much better at the end. We have to understand why.
"Paul got some good points for the team, but we lost some pace this weekend in general, and there were quite a few quick cars who didn't finish the race. So we have to get a move on in Bahrain! It should be better for us there."

More on the ABA Signing-Statements Resolutions
Marty Lederman
Charlie Savage reports today on the skepticism that has greeted the ABA Task Force Report on signing statements from certain quarters (including by a group of former Clinton-era OLC lawyers of which I'm a part). According to Savage, "the ABA's 550-member House of Delegates will vote next week on endorsing a high-profile task force's conclusion that the Constitution gives presidents two choices: veto a bill, or sign it and enforce all of it. As the vote nears, several law professors who helped draft signing statements for President Clinton have emerged as critics of the task force's recommendations."
Several places on the internet are evaluating the process of reporting in writing when a signing statement's line item blue penciling is employed.
For example, I found a detailed letter from attorney general Reno to vice president Gore explaining why one rider attached to the Telecom Act was distasteful.
The ABA report chronicles a Bush-II signing memo which short circuits any paper trail process which would be available as an aggregate of all such formal letters such as Ms. Reno's to Mr. Gore in that matter (it concerned opting to ignore a congressional instruction to telcos to refuse to relay messages about abortion over telco networks).
So the question occurs to me whether congress or even the executive itself are keeping tabs on what actions are pursued by the agents of the executive acting according to authorities in signing statements but in violation of the known laws enumerated in the signing statements.
Maybe we are at the threshold of creating another interbranch agency to keep this record and make it open to the publicly elected representatives in congress. Though it seems like some form of executive privilege might be a way to hide parts of those actions by the executive.
It seems agencies of this sort are created when one branch would be too stretched to accomplish a simple task.
Maybe this is too elaborate a suggestion. But if congress is facing languishing in acquiescence to a permanent ignorance assigned to it by executive signing statements, and the judiciary simply waits for the inevitable turbulence to rise in the courts in such matters, it might be wiser to study the standoff from a more removed perspective and consider whether there needs to be an agency to perform the oversight.
Prof. Lederman:
I have read the ABA Report, the Posner-Bradley op-ed, and the various criticisms of the ABA Report, including those detailed by you, here and elsewhere. For the most part, I reject the criticisms and believe that the ABA has it right: presidential signing statements should cease, except in narrrow of circumstances I detail below.
First, I do not accept the argument that due to the confluence of omnibus legislation and the absence of a line-item veto a president is justified in signing a bill and then issuing a statement declaring he will not enforce or will disobey certain provisions. Instead, the president should simply veto the bill in its entirety. If this were to happen in a sufficient number of cases, one of two reforms would likely be instituted: a push for a constitutional amendment to provide line-item veto authority to the executive; or the end of omnibus billmaking by Congress. Either result is preferable to the chief executive signing a bill into law but then announcing he will neither enforce nor obey the law or portions thereof. If the president thinks a bill is unconstitutional he should veto it. Without the president performing this prescribed constitutional role, the system will not generate the pressure necessary to create necessary reform.
There are, however, certain circumstances in which signing statement are legitimate. As noted above, the prerequisite is that the president must first have vetoed the legislation, and that is my primary objection to your view on the legitimacy of signing statements. If, however, there has been a veto followed by an override of the veto, the president may legitimately issue a signing statement declaring that he will not obey or enforce the law. You have generally set forth the correct framework in your articles on the topic. But there is one caveat: In my view, the primary goal of the signing statement must be to secure judicial review. For that reason, the signing statement should clearly identify the offending provision and clearly explain the theory of constitutional objection. The signing statement should declare specifically whether the executive will elect non-enforcement or disobedience and the signing statement should further detail how the chosen path -- non-enforcement or disobedience -- will facilitate judicial review. If the Supreme Court decides the constitututional issue then that settles the matter. If justiciability fails notwithstanding the good faith efforts of the executive to secure review, then the executive may refuse to enforce and/or disobey assuming the other criteria in your framework are satisfied.
I'm sympathetic to DS's comments though don't know if a veto override justifies the executive to act thusly. An override underlines how the Congress feels about something, hindering executive action in the process.
As to Eric Posner, I recall a depressing editorial by him in the NYT some months back supportive of the President's use of power in the "war on terror" etc. The last two cites of writings by him leave with as bad of a taste in my mouth as that piece did.
The linked piece on signing statements (disagreeing with ABA's position) was interesting, but I either didn't buy it or didn't follow it.
In some aspects, you(collectively) seemed to invoke a de minimis concept of un-Constitutional legislation; arguing that a President should not be required to veto detailed and lengthy legislation because he believes only some bits to be un-Constitutional. While I can understand a desire to facilitate Executive ease with a proportionality approach, to me this flies in the face of Executive duty and the Oath of office.
To be honest, I have a hard time thinking in terms of de minimis violations of the Constitution, although I will concede they crop up here and there. Even for more than de minimis encroahcments, however, you(collectively) seem to still believe that signing statements are an alternative to veto. I just don't follow this.
The Executive Branch, as the enforcement branch, has wide discretion in some areas, and lesser discretion in others, as to enforcment. There is a pretty lengthy body of case law ad several statutoy efforts, to address the areas of Executive banch discretion in different areas
Signing statements that fall into the policy/discretion parameters are not much different, in my view, than a policy memo circulated soon after the signing and should not have much other or different interpretation. Signing statements used to address matters of discretion in the Executive arising from the legislation seem pretty appropriate to me.
On the other hand, everyone in government, and in particular the Executive Branch that will be called upon for enforcment, has a duty to object to unconstitutional legislation in the manner provided to them by the Constituiton. I think the Constituiton, duties and oath of office require a President who is faced with what he believes to be unconsitutional provisions of law to veto them. How could it not?
It may be unpleasant, it may be detrimental to moving other policy items forward, etc. but I read any other analsyis as slightly more sophisticated invocations of, "Gee Ma, do I HAVE to?"
Yeah. You [the Executive] do. That's what it means to take an Oath of Office and to be charged with duties, not merely given powers with no correlatives. It also means that if your veto is overriden, you have a duty to take the legislation up for judicial reveiw in whatever mechanism best allows for that review.
It is all part of the job and constructs of a de minimis impact, or of adverse policy effects caused by having to send back the Constituional provisions with the non--- those don't seem to me to have a Constitutional or legal basis. They seem to be more of a, things work easier if we just don't bother with vetos and judicial review of legislation - just stick to signing statement fiats. It is an impermissible, IMO, avoidance of the the trifurcation of goverment to allow this kind of approach - allowing a President to have non-veto Executive overruling of Congressional legislaton - forever insulated from judicial reveiw by a DOJ that follows the President's orders with respect to enforcement. No matter what the pro- arguments all, it seems doubtful that they could outweigh the con.
While it might be painful in places and at first, over the long haul things work better when the problems are addressed head on. A Congress that realizes necessary legislation may come back will end up drafting more carefully; an Executive knowing that it will be bound unless it has vetoed and has taken legislation up for review (to be told yeah or nay on interpreation) will spend less time avoiding the effect of, and more time effecting, legislation.
I think that using the areas of discretion allocated to the Executive branch by the types, or directions, of the legislation as the limiting factor on the breadth of signing statements for such legislation, is the most correct approach.
What "ties" does Eric Posner have to Republican administration, other than that he is conservative? Has he ever had an official gov't position? Or is this the reporter's way to subtly trying to discredit him?Post a Comment

The work of Budi Satria Kwan rides that precarious line between reality and dreams. Including cute and comic animal prints, geometrically-inspired compositions, and symbolically loaded surrealistic images that tantalize the subconscious and send the viewer splashing into previously unexplored waters of thought, his work shows an impressive range of styles. This digital canvas print is highly emblematic of the unique imagery Kwan creates—designs that shift from archetypal to comic to hallucinatory, but provide something pleasantly new.
Giclée printed gallery wrap using premium artist canvas coated with a durable UV coating. Our canvas gallery wraps use a unique structure that is durable, fully rigid, and will never stretch or sag. Each canvas gallery wrap comes ready to display with a beautifully finished black backer board and hinged hanging hardware.

Revision as of 14:59, 21 April 2012
This module allows you to classify, or map a set of values into a different set of values, storing the result in a variable. The map directive creates the variable, but only performs the mapping operation when (and if) the variable is accessed. There is no performance penalty for processing requests which do not end up referencing the variable.
map $http_host $name { hostnames; default 0; example.com 1; *.example.com 1; test.com 2; *.test.com 2; .site.com 3; }
One use for this would be to use a mapping in place of writing lots of server/location directives or redirects:
syntax: map $var1 $var2 { ... }
default: none
context: http
map defines the mapping table which will be used to set a variable.
The table has two columns, pattern and value.
Since 0.9.6, regular expressions can be used as patterns using a ~ prefix.
Since 1.0.4, case insensitive regular expressions can be used by prefixing the pattern with ~*.
map $uri $myvalue { /aa /mapped_aa; ~^/aa/(?<suffix>.*)$ $suffix; }
If you need to have a tilde to start the pattern but not have it be a regular expression, the pattern can be prefixed with a backslash ('\'):
map $http_referer $myvalue { Mozilla 1234; \~Mozilla 5678; }
There are three special parameters:
- default — defines the value to be used where no match is found.
- hostnames — it allows for an easier matching of values like host names, names with a starting dot may match exact host names and host names ending with the value, for example:
*.example.com 1;
Instead of two entries
example.com 1; *.example.com 1;
we can use only one
.example.com 1;
- include — include values from a file. Multiple includes may be used.
syntax: map_hash_max_size number
default: map_hash_max_size 2048
context: http
The directive sets the maximum size of a hash table to hold the variable map. For more details see the descriptions of hash settings Optimization section .
syntax: map_hash_bucket_size n
default: map_hash_bucket_size 32/64/128
context: http
The directive sets the maximum size in a hash table to map variables. The default value depends on the size of the cache line processor. More see in the descriptions of hash settings in the Optimization section .

text: Like others, I find it hard to remember 1001 hotkey combinations. Do any of these types of applications, preferably free or dirt cheap, allow you to pop up a menu and point and shoot?I don't personally have that problem (but then I'm using less than 500 hotkeys only ), but you could create GUIs with AutoHotkey to use for those actions you only perform rarely. Or you could create a simple .txt file for your hotkeys and let AutoHotkey pop that up with another hotkey - so you'll only have to remember that 'master' hotkey

Goals: Lunar Orbiter 5 was to photograph potential Apollo and Surveyor landing sites and survey previously unphotographed parts of the Moon's far side. It was also to measure radiation intensity and the frequency of micrometeoroid impacts in the lunar environment, and provide detailed orbital data to enable mapping of the Moon's gravitational field.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft photographed 36 different areas on the near side (including 5 potential Apollo landing sites and several for Surveyor) and mapped most of the far side, bringing total coverage of the Lunar Orbiter program to 99 percent of the lunar surface. A special 10-day period of continuous tracking of Lunar Orbiter 5 permitted U.S. scientists to produce a detailed gravity map of the Moon's near side, revealing the locations of the Moon's mass concentrations.

With Jeff Johnson's masterful archival photography, Running Past has created a piece that truly transports you back to those remarkable years at the University of Oregon campus at Eugene. You can clearly see the hair, the eyes, the muscles of Pre - even the prototype Nike runners on his feet! The background details are remarkable as well - the wet track, the grandstand posts, the tight shirts & bell-bottoms of the spectators... And to top it off, Pre's most famous quote appears at top: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Perfection!

Director's Welcome
Welcome to the School of Digital Science at Kent State University!
If you like digital technology, want to do something interesting, exciting, and meaningful, and like the idea of working with students and faculty from across the university, you may find us to be the perfect match for your interests.
Our undergraduate students get a broad exposure to digital technologies — information, software, and hardware — and they learn how different societies, professions, and organizations use those technologies. In your first year, you may take a class with a journalism professor, a computer scientist, an ethicist, or an architect. Our students learn how to manage a project and work on a team. They are the integrators, the hybrids — the ones who like to work with other people doing something creative in the real world.
Our graduate students come from a variety of backgrounds but also want to add breadth in their skill set. Students from a technical background may study enterprise architecture or management information systems, while students from a design background may study software development or telecommunications.
All of our students like to explore, and our degrees encourage breadth across multiple disciplines along with depth in one specific area. Our concentrations allow students to build on their strengths and interests and branch out in new directions.
For more information about the School of Digital Sciences, please explore our web site, read What is Digital Sciences?, explore our Undergraduate and Graduate degree programs, and take a look at our Courses and Recommended Elective options.
If you have any questions, please send us an email, post on our Facebook or Twitter, or give us a call. We look forward to talking to you!
