Resources for Grade 10: Childhood through the Eyes of Indigenous Writers.
Very few of us have a proper understanding of the tragic and painful circumstances of native life in urban Canada. A truly black mark on the record of the Canadian government and Canadian society as a whole, these problems are dealt with by the astute and truthful writing of Beatrice Culleton. April Raintree is a work of autobiographical fiction that not only brings the reader into a genuine and difficult aspect of urban life, but also reveals Culleton`s significant talents.
Educator Information
Recommended Grades: 9-12. This version of the novel was written specifically for students in grades 9-12 and does not contain the graphic scene that is contained in the original version, In Search of April Raintree.

By the celebrated author of Canada Reads Finalist Indian Horse, a stunning new novel that has all the timeless qualities of a classic, as it tells the universal story of a father/son struggle in a fresh, utterly memorable way, set in dramatic landscape of the BC Interior. For male and female readers equally, for readers of Joseph Boyden, Cormac McCarthy, Thomas King, Russell Banks and general literary.
Franklin Starlight is called to visit his father, Eldon. He's sixteen years old and has had the most fleeting of relationships with the man. The rare moments they've shared haunt and trouble Frank, but he answers the call, a son's duty to a father. He finds Eldon decimated after years of drinking, dying of liver failure in a small town flophouse. Eldon asks his son to take him into the mountains, so he may be buried in the traditional Ojibway manner.
What ensues is a journey through the rugged and beautiful backcountry, and a journey into the past, as the two men push forward to Eldon's end. From a poverty-stricken childhood, to the Korean War, and later the derelict houses of mill towns, Eldon relates both the desolate moments of his life and a time of redemption and love and in doing so offers Frank a history he has never known, the father he has never had, and a connection to himself he never expected.
A novel about love, friendship, courage, and the idea that the land has within it powers of healing, Medicine Walk reveals the ultimate goodness of its characters and offers a deeply moving and redemptive conclusion.
Wagamese's writing soars and his insight and compassion are matched by his gift of communicating these to the reader.
"A masterpiece, a work of art that explores human interconnectedness with a level of artistry so superb that the personal becomes eternal."— National Post
"Wagamese balances the novel's spiritual and political subtexts with sly humour, sharp, believable dialogue and superb storytelling skills. Medicine Walk is a major accomplishment from an author who has become one of Canada's best novelists."—Toronto Star
This is very much a novel about the role of stories in our lives, those we tell ourselves about ourselves and those we agree to live by.... Medicine Walk is also testament to the redemptive power of love and compassion."—The Globe and Mail

Eden Robinson's first book, a collection of stories titled Traplines, earned high praise from critics: "Expertly rendered" (New York Times Book Review), and "Captured my attention and permeated my subconscious" (Toronto Globe and Mail). The book was named a New York Times Notable and won the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize from the Royal Society of Literature.
Robinson''s mastery is confirmed in Monkey Beach, the first full-length work of fiction by a Haisla writer and an unforgettable story set in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. This powerful novel reminds us that places, as much as people, have stories to tell.
Five hundred miles north of Vancouver is Kitamaat, an Indian reservation in the homeland of the Haisla people. Growing up a tough, wild tomboy, swimming, fighting, and fishing in a remote village where the land slips into the green ocean on the edge of the world, Lisamarie has always been different. Visited by ghosts and shapeshifters, tormented by premonitions, she can''t escape the sense that something terrible is waiting for her. She recounts her enchanted yet scarred life as she journeys in her speedboat up the frigid waters of the Douglas Channel. She is searching for her brother, dead by drowning, and in her own way running as fast as she can toward danger.
Circling her brother''s tragic death are the remarkable characters that make up her family: Lisamarie''s parents, struggling to join their Haisla heritage with Western ways; Uncle Mick, a Native rights activist and devoted Elvis fan; and the headstrong Ma-ma-oo (Haisla for "grandmother"), a guardian of tradition.
Haunting, funny, and vividly poignant, Monkey Beach gives full scope to Robinson''s startling ability to make bedfellows of comedy and the dark underside of life. Informed as much by its lush living wilderness as by the humanity of its colorful characters, Monkey Beach is a profoundly moving story about childhood and the pain of growing older--a multilayered tale of family grief and redemption.

Secret Path is a ten song album by Gord Downie with a graphic novel by illustrator Jeff Lemire that tells the story of Chanie "Charlie" Wenjack, a twelve-year-old boy who died in flight from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School fifty years ago.
Chanie, misnamed Charlie by his teachers, was a young boy who died on October 22, 1966, walking the railroad tracks, trying to escape from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School to return home. Chanie's home was 400 miles away. He didn't know that. He didn't know where it was, nor how to find it, but, like so many kids—more than anyone will be able to imagine—he tried.
Chanie's story is Canada's story. We are not the country we thought we were. History will be re-written. We are all accountable. Secret Path acknowledges a dark part of Canada's history—the long-suppressed mistreatment of Indigenous children and families by the residential school system—with the hope of starting our country on a road to reconciliation. Every year as we remember Chanie Wenjack, the hope for Secret Path is that it educates all Canadians young and old on this omitted part of our history, urging our entire nation to play an active role in the preservation of Indigenous lives and culture in Canada.
The next hundred years are going to be painful as we come to know Chanie Wenjack and thousands like him—as we find out about ourselves, about all of us—but only when we do can we truly call ourselves, "Canada."
Proceeds from Secret Path will be donated to The Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation via The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at The University of Manitoba.

In just four days young Shi-shi-etko will have to leave her family and all that she knows to attend residential school.
She spends her last days at home treasuring the beauty of her world -- the dancing sunlight, the tall grass, each shiny rock, the tadpoles in the creek, her grandfather's paddle song. Her mother, father and grandmother, each in turn, share valuable teachings that they want her to remember. And so Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping.
Richly hued illustrations complement this gently moving and poetic account of a child who finds solace all around her, even though she is on the verge of great loss -- a loss that native people have endured for generations because of the residential schools system.
This gentle story of a child on the verge of great loss was selected as the Aboriginal Children's Book of the Year.

This moving sequel to the award-winning Shi-shi-etko tells the story of two children's experience at residential school. Shi-shi-etko is about to return for her second year, but this time her six-year-old brother, Shin-chi, is going, too. As they begin their journey in the back of a cattle truck, Shi-shi-etko takes it upon herself to tell her little brother all the things he must remember: the trees, the mountains, the rivers and the tug of the salmon when he and his dad pull in the fishing nets. Shin-chi knows he won't see his family again until the sockeye salmon return in the summertime.
When they arrive at school, Shi-shi-etko gives him a tiny cedar canoe, a gift from their father. The children's time is filled with going to mass, school for half the day, and work the other half. The girls cook, clean and sew, while the boys work in the fields, in the woodshop and at the forge. Shin-chi is forever hungry and lonely, but, finally, the salmon swim up the river and the children return home for a joyful family reunion.

A school assignment to interview a residential school survivor leads Daniel to Betsy, his friend's grandmother, who tells him her story. Abandoned as a young child, Betsy was soon adopted into a loving family. A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changed. Betsy was taken away to a residential school. There she was forced to endure abuse and indignity, but Betsy recalled the words her father spoke to her at Sugar Falls — words that gave her the resilience, strength, and determination to survive.
Sugar Falls is based on the true story of Betty Ross, Elder from Cross Lake First Nation. We wish to achnowledge, with the utmost gratitude, Betty's generosity in sharing her story.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Sugar Falls goes to support the bursary program for The Helen Betty Osborne Memorial Foundation.
"With the 7 Generations series, David Robertson and Scott Henderson burst onto the Canadian graphic novel scene with beautiful storytelling, scenes of brutal honesty, and messages of truth. With Sugar Falls they do it again, narrating a graceful and unforgettable story of resilience and power." - Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair, Assistant Professor, University of Manitoba
"…does an excellent job of handing difficult material. It's important for youth to understand the struggles that Aboriginal people have faced in order to survive and to read survival stories. This is based on a true story and the main character, Betsy, is definitely a role model. I would include this book in my classroom at the secondary level. Whether or not you choose to include this material depends on your own ability to navigate the policies in your district regarding difficult material in the classroom and your own comfort level…" - Starleigh Grass, Educator, South Interior, BC

Three young men—Flinch, Bryce, and Rupert—have vandalized their community and are sent by its Elders to live nine months on the land as part of the circle sentencing process. There, the young men learn to take responsibility for their actions and acquire the humility required to return home. But, when they do return, will they be forgiven for what they've done?
Three Feathers explores the power and grace of restorative justice in one Northern community and the cultural legacy that can empower future generations.
Three Feathers is the third title in The Debwe Series. Created in the spirit of the Anishinaabe concept debwe (to speak the truth), The Debwe Series is a collection of exceptional Aboriginal writings from across Canada.
"Three Feathers is a graphic novel illustrated by stark, black and white images. Many of the frames have no captioning, inviting the reader to intuit the narrative. K. Mateus, the illustrator, makes imaginative use of Aboriginal symbols and motifs in this 48 page book; when Gabe is attacked, demonic figures shadow the background, and when Bryce rails at the members of the community sentencing circle, the image of an angry wildcat snarls behind him." - CM Magazine

Tilly has always known she's part Lakota on her dad's side. She's grown up with the traditional teachings of her grandma, relishing the life lessons of her beloved mentor. But it isn't until an angry man shouts something on the street that Tilly realizes her mom is Aboriginal, too—a Cree woman taken from her own parents as a baby.
Tilly feels her mother's pain deeply. She's always had trouble fitting in at school, and when her grandma dies unexpectedly, her anchor is gone. Then Abby, a grade seven classmate, invites her home for lunch and offers her "something special" to drink. Nothing has prepared Tilly for the tingling in her legs, the buzz in her head and the awesome feeling that she can do anything. From then on, partying seems to offer an escape from her insecurities. But after one dangerously drunken evening, Tilly knows she has to change. Summoning her courage, she begins the long journey to finding pride in herself and her heritage. Just when she needs it most, a mysterious stranger offers some wise counsel: "Never question who you are or who your people are. It's in your eyes. I know it's in your heart."
Loosely based on author Monique Gray Smith's own life, this revealing, important work of creative non-fiction tells the story of a young Indigenous woman coming of age in Canada in the 1980s. With compassion, insight and humour, Gray Smith illuminates the 20th-century history of Canada's First Peoples—forced displacement, residential schools, tuberculosis hospitals, the Sixties Scoop. In a spirit of hope, this unique story captures the irrepressible resilience of Tilly, and of Indigenous peoples everywhere.
- 2014 Burt Award Winner
"What a gorgeous read! Reminiscent of Lee Maracle's Will's Garden and Ruby Slipperjack's Little Voice, Tilly will bring strength, comfort and peace to all who read it. Let it discover and inspire you, too. Wow! I've been waiting for a book like this for years. Mahsi cho, Monique Gray Smith, for digging so deep to create something so loving and nurturing for the world." —Richard Van Camp, author of The Lesser Blessed and The Moon of Letting Go
"Gray Smith intricately pieces together stories, traditional teachings and hard-earned personal wisdom, creating a hand-stitched quilt you can't help but wrap yourself in—a quilt filled with optimism and the assurance that no matter how lost we are, hope, love and guidance surround us at every turn. Delicate with the handling of mature details, but fiercely candid with emotion, Tilly is an ideal resource not only for youth, but also for those who are easily triggered, while its universality will be appreciated by a wider audience. A brave new voice ready to take her place among the great contemporary storytellers, Gray Smith breaks her own trails as she explores what it means to be Indigenous in a modern world." —Christy Jordan-Fenton, author of Fatty Legs, A Stranger at Home and When I Was Eight

Language Immersion (6-8)
Middle school years are a time of exploration and tremendous academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. In Minnetonka, our middle school teachers are experts in understanding and inspiring, and we've designed our Language Immersion model to specifically meet the needs of middle school students. While continuing to target language development, our middle schools also provide students with opportunities to expand friendships, access honors level classes taught in English (math, science, English Language Arts), participate in our rich music and fine arts program, and learn through project-based, hands-on experiences. All components are essential to early adolescent social and emotional development
- Flex-schedule model
- Immersion curricular areas
- Three pathways
- Points to consider
- Middle school: choice, rigor, flexibility and support
Flex-schedule model
Our Middle School Language Immersion Program uses a flex-schedule model that maximizes the overall middle school experience and extends language learning.
The benefits of the flex-schedule model include continued language development with a focus on writing, reading, speaking and listening; full access to other course options (including honors courses, support programs and all electives), and a common schedule relative to English students.
Immersion curricular areas
Immersion curricular areas
In 6th grade, students enroll in Immersion Social Studies paired with Immersion Language Arts for the entire year. Aligned with state standards, social studies expand students' understanding of history by exploring the geography and historical developments of people, places and patterns of life from a combination of ancient civilizations and Minnesota history. Immersion Language Arts improves students' reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in the target language.
In seventh grade, Immersion Social Studies is again paired with Immersion Language Arts for the entire year. Students may choose to take either a quarter-long Spanish or Chinese Culture and Arts course, or begin a new world language.
Eighth grade students have the following options:
- Maximize Immersion learning by continuing in both Immersion Social Studies and Immersion
- Study world Language with a focus on literature.
- Enroll in either the Immersion Social Studies or Immersion World Language course only.
- Begin level one of a new world language.
Three pathways
Students may select one of three paths based on their language ability, commitment and personal goals:
Advanced path: This path is for students who wish to make the most of their Language Immersion education, reaching the highest fluency level offered by Minnetonka Public Schools. Students interested in taking AP and IB courses and pursuing the IB Bilingual Diploma in high school should consider this path.
Intermediate/advanced path: This path focuses on Immersion Language Arts. In seventh grade, students may take an optional, one-quarter Immersion Culture & Arts elective. Eighth grade Immersion Social Studies is not required. Students can still pursue AP/IB courses and the IB Bilingual Diploma in high school.
Intermediate path: This path is for students who want to continue their Immersion Language studies and take AP/IB courses later in high school.
Points to consider
As a family, it is important to consider your immersion goals, and think ahead about the possible opportunities and benefits of becoming fluent in a second language:
- Ability to work in a professional environment in the target language
- Global Career opportunities
- Language related career opportunities
- Maximize college credit opportunities
- Flagship scholarship
- Functional language skills to travel abroad
- Trilingual
Middle school: choice, rigor, flexibility and support
Our school day at Minnetonka consists of six 55-minute periods. We have an A/B day schedule, meaning music and physical education courses are taken on opposite days. Most classes have approximately 28 students.
6th and 7th grade students are part of a team. 8th grade students are no longer on teams and follow a class schedule preparing them for high school structure.
In 2015-16, students traveled to Spain after completing the middle school Spanish immersion program.
In 2015-16, students traveled to Spain after completing the middle school Spanish immersion program.
In 2014-15, students traveled to China after completing the middle school Chinese immersion program.
In 2014-15, students traveled to China after completing the middle school Chinese immersion program.

Talk Abstract: This presentation will provide perspectives on a career starting with the synthesis of the first historic 1,4-benzodiazepine libraries to the development of novel chemoinformatics tools to capture synthetic and biological structure activity relationship (SAR) data. There are currently hundreds of database and modeling technologies available to assist in the small molecule drug design and discovery process – each with its own scope and limitations. An entrepreneur's perspective of the challenges associated with developing new technologies for chemists and biologists will be presented. Cloud computing and leveraging the Internet for secure collaborations are becoming more important. A more economical, collaborative business model for drug discovery has emerged. Representative case studies will be shared, including:
NIH Neuroscience Blueprint consortia: Including AMRI, CDD, Southern Research Institute, and SRI International working with seven leading academic biology laboratories and the NIH as part of a 5-year contract.* The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation multi-year CDD TB (Tuberculosis) Database Project: 250 users, 58 labs, 20 collaborations produced the following results: the two year project was extended to five years. Three projects supported were partnered with three big pharmas.
MM4TB EU funded collaboration with 25 partners in 13 countries including two large pharmas working together as if one organization using projects in a securely collaborate in a single CDD Vault. UCLA campus-wide and Rockefeller University for secure inter-campus collaborations.* Acetyton Pharmaceuticals: Harvard spinout company managing academic-industry and China CRO collaborations to IND for selective HDAC inhibitor and Series-B financing.Biography: Dr. Barry Bunin, CEO & President of Collaborative Drug Discovery Inc. (www.collaborativedrug.com) helps scientists in secure collaborative groups more rapidly develop drug candidates for commercial and humanitarian markets. Thousands of researchers worldwide use CDD today. Dr. Bunin and CDD received funding in 2008 to support a global community of leading TB researchers from the Gates Foundation (BMGF). He co-authored "Chemoinformatics: Theory, Practice, and Products", a text that overviews modern chemoinformatics technologies and "The Combinatorial Index", a widely used text on high-throughput chemical synthesis.

Sunday, October 17
Originally I started out cleaning the garage and trying to get stuff out of the way as my new car is 3 inches wider than my last. I was working with the door open and said to myself...hey, it's such a nice day, I think I'll try to bend a board, for the firepit seat back, to see what it'll be bending those 20 foot suckers.
Ok...so the plan is to bend the Trex composite boards and attach them to the posts, which form a semi-circle. It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Once I clamped the board to the first post, it was fairly easy to use the clamps and bend it in place as I had gone along.
It was going well enough I managed to get to boards up. the second one is have screwed into place as we had to leave for some Halloween fun :)

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – Freshman Jake McKenelley (Middleton, Mass.) scored with 29 seconds remaining in regulation, capping a three-goal comeback as the Wentworth Institute of Technology ice hockey team edged nationally ranked Salve Regina, 4-3, at the Portsmouth Abbey Rink.
With the win the Leopards improve to 6-8-4 overall and 4-5-1 in Commonwealth Coast Conference play while the Seahawks, ranked 14th in the latest USCHO.com Division III Men's Poll and 15th in the latest D3Hockey.com Men's Poll, fall to 10-5-2 (7-2-1) after their two-game win streak comes to an end. The win marked the first time since December 31, 2012, Wentworth has defeated a team ranked in the D3Hockey.com Poll (at Middlebury, 3-2) while it was the first time since defeating Salve Regina on November 30, 2016 (3-2), the Black & Gold has knocked off a team ranked in the USCHO.com Poll.
Sophomore Jake Hallisey (Quincy, Mass.) got the Leopards on the board with a goal 4:01 into the opening stanza as he was set up by freshman Joey O'Leary (Boston, Mass.) and McKenelley. Just over five and a half minutes later, Salve Regina got the equalizer as sophomore Danny Eruzione (Winthrop, Mass.) scored on the power play from sophomore Vincenzo Renda (Westmount, Que.) and freshman Matthew Dillon (Grafton, Mass.) at 9:39.
The second period saw no scoring, however, both teams had chances, including when Wentworth went on a major power play and had a 5x3 situation late in the period. The Leopards, who had an 11-10 shot advantage in the frame, were unable to capitalize leaving the score at 1-all through 40 minutes of action.
A pair of goals 48 seconds apart put the hosts ahead 3-1. Eruzione netted his second of the game from Renda and sophomore John McClean (North Andover, Mass.) to make it 2-1 before Eruzione and Renda set up sophomore Paul Boutoussov (Dana Point, Calif.) making it a two-goal game with 14:34 remaining.
After not scoring on its first five power-play attempts, Wentworth's comeback came all via the power play. At the 9:03 mark, senior Angus Johnston (Calgary, Alta.) scored from classmate Paul Filippone, III (Cranston, R.I.). Just 55 seconds later, junior Nate Chase (Plainfield, Ill.) evened the score when he was set up by McKenelley and senior Ethan Weiss (Troy, Mich.). With the game seeming as if it would be headed to overtime, McKenelley's sixth goal of the season was the biggest of his rookie campaign as he put Wentworth ahead after being set up by junior Adam Tracey (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) and Weiss. Salve Regina pulled senior Blake Wojtala (Trenton, Mich.) for an extra attacker with 23 seconds left. However, a pair of Seahawk penalties 12 seconds later ended the extra attacker and the Leopards held on for the win.
McKenelley finished the weekend series with five points, coming on three goals and two assists as he had a goal and an assist on Saturday, coming on the heels of a two-goal performance in Friday's game.
Freshman Ryan Bonnvie (Falmouth, Maine) improved to 3-0 on the season as he made 35 saves. Wojtala made 29 saves for Salve Regina, which had a 38-33 shot advantage. Wentworth finished 3-for-10 on the power play while the Seahawks were 2-for-5.
Wentworth continues CCC play next weekend with a series against No. 12/13 University of New England. Friday night's game will be in Biddeford, Maine, while Saturday afternoon's tilt will be at Allied Veterans Rink.

Five Great Books They Won't Talk About At Comic-Con
It's been quiet, in comic book circles. Too quiet.
This past week has seen fans, creators and publishers girding their loins for Comic-Con. That means no major announcements, no nuggets of gossip, nothing but protracted discussions on the particulars of loin-girding. Yesterday, the skies above us buzzed with San Diego-bound airliners, each bearing a higher-than-usual percentage of passengers harboring inordinately strong opinions about, say, Psylocke.
Meanwhile, tumbleweeds rolled lazily down the carpeted halls of Marvel and DC, past crudely made Gone LARPin' signs affixed to publicist's doors. Even the most bellicose comic book messageboards quieted down to a dull ad hominem roar.
This is the great inrush of breath that precedes Comic-Con. Later today, the first bits of news will start to leak out, and very soon it will become difficult to keep up with announcements about movies, television shows and videogames. There may even be one or two about, you know, comics. Crazier things have happened.
So in this nerdy caseura we are afforded, before newly announced graphic novels start soaking up the convention buzz, it makes sense to look back at books released over the past few months that deserve, but may have escaped, your attention.
We may not get another chance, because seriously: Apres today, le deluge nerdique.
Revolver, by Matt Kindt. Published by Vertigo.
As he did in the graphic novels Super Spy and 3 Story, Matt Kindt takes what seems a familiarly pulpy genre premise -- in this case, travel between parallel earths -- and places it on a fully imagined but resolutely human scale. As Sam finds himself involuntarily shuttling back and forth between a reality in which America has been brutally attacked by unknown forces and his "normal" life of credit card debt and a dead-end job, Kindt explores the emotional stakes with subtlety and restraint. As I watched Sam putting what he learns in one reality to use in another, I found myself thinking of books I've loved by Don DeLillo and Paul Auster -- books in which the mundane details of contemporary consumer culture collide with abstract and implacable concepts like terrorism. Of all the books I've read this year, Revolver is the one I haven't been able to stop thinking about.
Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites, by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. Published by Dark Horse.
Let's start with the freaking adorableness that is manifest in this collected series about a disparate band of canines (and some cats) who band together to protect their neighborhood from all manner of paranormal animal threats: haunted doghouses, a rain of frogs, undead Lhasa Apsos, etc. But don't be misled by Jill Thompson's gorgeous, expressive (did I mention: adorable) watercolors -- this is, in the end, a horror book, with a fair amount of blood, guts and dark magic. Writer Evan Dorkin plays with our inborn predisposition toward Man's best friend to imbue these stories with heart, and plays with our preconceptions about breeds (a cowardly Doberman, a pug who talks like a Dead End Kid) to imbue his characters with clearly defined personalities.
Weathercraft, by Jim Woodring. Published by Fantagraphics Books.
Yeah, look, I can't articulate why I love this book as much as I do. For a (just about) wordless comic, it's about as dense and challenging as it gets, packed with symbols that demand decryption and hairpin plot turns that will have you flipping back a few pages to make sure you're still up to speed. It's also, frequently, kind of gross and nightmarish. Nonetheless, Woodring's vision is so strong, so uniquely his own, and so exquisitely rendered (in panels that look like the woodcuts of Rockwell Kent, if Rockwell Kent took LOTS OF PEYOTE) you'll likely find yourself returning to Weathercraft again and again, to explore its disturbing depths.
Warlord of Io, by James Turner. Published by SLG.
Turner's witty space opera about the goof-off son of an intergalactic tyrant who inherits an evil empire is a lot of fun, which will should come as no surprise to readers of his Rex Libris series. We should be grateful for this chance to read the complete first volume -- last year, major comics distributor Diamond insituted a policy change that made it next to impossible for small series like this one to make it into comic shops. Not that the publisher's bitter about it or anything: "Finally, the comic you did not get a chance to buy becomes the graphic novel you will ignore!" screams the promo copy. But ignore Warlord of Io at your peril; you'd be missing out.
The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft, by Marc Carter and Tony Salmons. Published by Image Comics.
The plot: struggling writer H. P. Lovecraft becomes the chief suspect in a police investigation even as his darkest, slimiest visions start coming to life to terrorize the town of Providence. The reason it works: Writer Marc Carter creates a Lovecraft given to enjoyably purple-tinged narration that feels absolutely right, and Tony Salmons' art is suitably creepy: the guy knows his way around a Shoggoth's tentacular eye-stalk.

GVC Holdings has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of former Playtech vice president of product and strategy Liron Snir to the newly-created role of chief product officer.
Snir has built up a reputation as "one of the foremost product and technology experts in the online gaming industry," with more than sixteen years' experience in the sector, GVC said. He served with Playtech between 2009 and 2016, holding the product and strategy role since 2014. Snir also featured in this year's Gaming Intelligence Hot 50.
In addition to his roles at Playtech, Snir also has industry experience from 888, where he served as team leader for its business intelligence unit, leading its platform and database development.
In his new role at GVC, Snir will be responsible for overseeing product management and user experience. His position was created following the company's acquisition of bwin.party digital entertainment on February 1st, and he becomes the third high-profile hire by the operator in recent months.
"The company is delighted to welcome Liron, one of the leading professionals in the industry," GVC chief executive Kenny Alexander said. "Liron's considerable expertise in online gaming, product development, product integration and platform assimilation will be an invaluable asset in ensuring growth follows the successful integration of GVC's and bwin.party's products, brands and operations."
GVC has recently hired Peel Hunt analyst Nick Batram as head of investor relations and corporate strategy, and former Playtech COO Shay Segev as chief operating officer, both newly-created roles, with the company noting that its latest hire illustrates its ability "to attract the best talent in the industry."
"This appointment reflects our commitment to delivering best of breed products and services to our growing client base," Alexander added. "It is testament to the merits of the GVC and bwin.party merger that the enlarged company can attract and retain such talent and we continue to seek further key appointments."
Shares in GVC Holdings plc (Co.Data) (LSE:GVC) were trading up 0.70 per cent at 505.00 pence per share in London early Tuesday.

Mainframe sort merge
The Sort/Merge utility is a mainframe program to sort records in a file into a specified order, merge pre-sorted files into a sorted file, or copy selected records. Internally, these utilities use one or more of the standard sorting algorithms, often with proprietary fine-tuned code.
Mainframes were originally supplied with limited main memory by today's standards and the amount of data to be sorted was frequently very large. Because of this, unlike more recent sort programs, early Sort/Merge programs placed great emphasis on efficient techniques for sorting data on secondary storage, typically tape or disk. In 1968 the OS/360 Sort/Merge program provided five different "sequence distribution techniques" that could be used depending on the number and type of devices available.[1]
In 1990 IBM introduced a new merge algorithm called BLOCKSET in DFSORT the successor to OS/360 Sort/Merge.[2] Of historical note, the BLOCKSET algorithm was invented by an IBM Systems Engineer in 1963 and was discovered in IBM's archives and implemented in 1990.[3]
Sort/Merge is very frequently used; often the most commonly used application program in a mainframe shop generally consuming about twenty percent of the processing power of the shop.
Modern Sort/Merge programs also can copy files, select or omit certain records, summarize records, remove duplicates, reformat records, append new data and produce reports. Indeed, most Sort/Merge applications use the wide range of additional processing capabilities, rather than purely sorting or merging records: the Sort/Merge product is a very fast way of performing input to and output from these functions. Quite a number of "user exits" are supported, and these may be load modules (i.e., a member of a library), or object decks (i.e., the output of an assembler), with the Sort/Merge application loading (load modules) or linking (object decks; termed "dynamic link editing" in DFSORT) the exit, as specified and required. Working storage datasets (i.e., SORTWK01, ..., SORTWKnn) may be disk or tape, although the BLOCKSET algorithm is restricted to disk working storage; more working storage datasets generally improves performance.
Sort/merge is important enough that there are multiple companies each selling their own sort/merge package for IBM mainframes and their z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE operating systems. The major Sort/Merge packages are:
- DFSORT sold by IBM.
- SyncSort sold by Syncsort, Inc.
- CA-Sort sold by CA Technologies.
(Some of these companies also sell versions for other platforms, such as Unix, Linux, or Windows.)
Historically, the "alias" SORT has been used to refer to IBM's Sort/Merge, and third party Sort/Merge programs (i.e., SYNCSORT, CASORT) have also adopted SORT as an alias for their product. DFSORT is often referred to by its program name, ICEMAN (component ICE; the original OS/360 Sort/Merge program name was IERRCO00, component IER, also with "alias" SORT).

RFS news highlights resources, issues, and news relevant to in-training members of the ACR. If you have a topic idea or would like to contribute to the blog, please email RFS Secretary Patricia Balthazar, MD.
My Rutherford-Lavanty Fellowship Experience
In June, I had the honor of traveling to Washington, D.C., as part of the ACR Rutherford-Lavanty fellowship in government relations. This prestigious fellowship offers radiology residents a rare opportunity to experience, first-hand, how healthcare policies are formed in our nation's capital. Named in honor of the first ACR lobbyist, J.T. Rutherford, and Donald F. Lavanty, ACR's principal legislative consultant for 42 years, the fellowship began in 1993 and close to 200 enthusiastic radiology residents have participated in the program. On average, three to eight radiology residents serve as fellows, spending one week at the ACR's government relations office working with staff on current healthcare issues affecting the specialty.
During my week in Washington D.C., I was fortunate to work closely with the staff, including Chris Sherin, and Rebecca Spangler, ACR government relations experts, and RADPAC® Director Ted Burnes. I attended many roundtable discussions, fundraising events, and receptions on the Hill. I also met with various legislators and their assistants to discuss H.R. 1298, the CT Colonography Screening for Colorectal Cancer Act. If enacted, HR 1298 will require Medicare to cover CTC screening for colon cancer. Medicare now only covers CTC in the case of an incomplete optical colonoscopy. Per the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), private insurers are required to cover CTC without cost-sharing due to the fact that colon cancer screening services, in general, received a Grade of "A" from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). However, Medicare is not bound by the same mandatory coverage requirements within PPACA and relies on a national coverage determination process to add services without cost-sharing. The ACR has long supported Medicare coverage for CTC and is committed to ensuring beneficiaries have equal access to this effective, non-invasive screening test.
I also advocated for H.R. 1904/S. 769, the Medicare Access to Radiologic Care Act (MARCA). The MARCA legislation seeks to amend the Medicare statute to recognize RAs as non-physician Medicare providers and to align Medicare supervision requirements with state law. RAs always practice under the onsite supervision of a radiologist and are also explicitly prevented from interpreting images. If adopted, this legislation will allow radiologists to devote more time to reviewing and interpreting complex medical images while preserving quality care.
To further supplement the key points of the face-to-face meetings I attended with the ACR government relations staff, I also participated in conference calls which gave me a deeper understanding of the issues radiologists face in daily practice. Through these activities, I was able to better understand the importance of the various bills and policies, as well as ACR's stance on these issues. I also realized that knowing the political and economic effects of innovative imaging technologies is equally, if not more, important than a thorough understanding of the clinical uses of the device. During my training as a radiology resident, I yearned to acquire as much radiology knowledge as possible. This high level of exposure to the federal government has augmented my knowledge base. As healthcare payments change, the specialty of radiology has had to adapt and make necessary adjustments to stay current and remain successful. One cannot overstate how important it is that the patients who need our care have adequate coverage for their imaging needs. I am also able to visualize the current trend in radiology from the perspective of the physician, patient, and payer. I strongly believe that being exposed to these topics at this level gives a resident a view of what life is like outside the reading room. I highly encourage every radiology resident to get involved in the ACR's RFS in some way. I truly believe that such an endeavor will not only guarantee improved leadership in the field of radiology for the future, but will always present enthusiastic radiologists with strong networking possibilities that will positively impact their radiology careers.

From SQL to DAX: String Comparison

Project Veritas exposes Twitter bias against whites, Christians and conservatives
The Project Veritas organization headed by conservative activist James O' Keefe has exposed massive bias at Twitter towards white conservatives and Christians. In the YouTube video which was released yesterday, several clips in the video showed Twitter employees being filmed undercover speaking about their methods of censoring white Christians and conservatives. Some of the footage also shows Twitter executives using racist language about white people.
One of the people filmed undercover discussing Twitter's censorship tactics is former software engineer Abhinav Vadrevu. In the conversation which took place at a restaurant, the former software engineer said that the method known as shadow banning, where a person's is essentially banned from Twitter so nobody can view their content but still active on the site is used to have "ultimate control" over the user.
In other conversations with Twitter employee Steven Pierre, he said that the aim was to have it where "every single conversation is going to be rated by a machine and the machine is going to say whether it is positive or not." The real bias started to show when an undercover interview was conducted with Twitter policy manager Olinda Hassan, saying that a system was being developed that would be used to get rid of what she described as the "sh*t people," referring to Trump supporters. One of the most telling conversations was with Twitter Content Review agent Mo Norai. During this discussion, Mo Norai admitted the political bias involved with the content review process, saying that pro-Trump and conservative content was often banned but left-wing material was often allowed to pass through unchecked. In one quote Mr Norai said "Yeah, if they said its pro-Trump I don't want it because it offends me…and I say I banned the whole thing."
The most ignorant comments in this whole expose by Project Veritas were made by Pranay Singh. During the conversation which took place in a bar or nightclub, Mr Singh made disparaging comments about Trump supporters, conservatives, Christians and white people. In one of the quotes attributed to him he said "Yeah you look for Trump, or America, and you have like five thousand keywords to describe a redneck. Then you look and parse all the messages, all the pictures, and then you look for stuff that matches that stuff."
Twitter's co-founder Jack Dorsey has described the social media site as being "the public square." This blatant censoring of political viewpoints is in stark contrast to the claims Dorsey has made. In a world where social media sites are increasingly becoming major parts of our lives, the fact that companies such as Twitter can have the power to turn off dissenting voices is extremely troubling. All of us who consider ourselves to be free thinkers should be very grateful to Project Veritas and James O' Keefe for exposing these shockingly bias practices at Twitter. Maybe now it is out in the open, Jack Dorsey might be forced to take action to make sure the "public square" of Twitter is not just the speakers corner for those with certain left-wing ideologies and beliefs.

I was born in a utopia long forgotten. By comparing political systems, I want to create discussion, debate, thinking:
In a positive affirmation to a new idea, not to an ancient ideology or run-down exploited version of what neoliberalist flows are searching for.
I am a collector of ideas, relics from yesterday, souvenirs from a century past. I question our ideals of beauty and belonging.
I look at the atrocities of the Holocaust over and over again and am interested in the impact of cold-blooded militarism on the societies it affects.
I am interested in cultures and the ways in which they are made to fit the capitalist matrix and what that means for the societies and the people then.
I am nostalgic for Soviet Russia and the myths that were common at that time.
I want to question the ideal and idyllic image we have of a happy place that was prevalent in the 1930s and build a utopia by hand which is more close to humanity and the body than the present one. Without wanting to speed up globalized conformity, I want to express values and start debate.

They say necessity is the mother of all invention.
Not long after beginning her line of wine, Love Cork Screw vintner/owner Chrishon Lampley would often be asked a single question over and over: "What wine should I pair with this dish?" She eventually teamed with her friend and noted personal chef Monica Hayes-Jones of Tasteful Manners to create the cookbook, Your Guide to Tasteful Manners with Love Cork Screw.
Chef Monica touts her meals to be easy, healthy and, most importantly, delicious. Having lost almost 40 pounds within the last year thanks to her own culinary creations, the chef has had the pleasure of cooking for NBA star Derrick Rose and also counts Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx as one of her meal plan prep customers.
N'DIGO recently sat down with the ladies to discuss the highly buzzed about new cookbook, their respective companies and their various other endeavors.
N'DIGO: Chrishon, when you began Love Cork Screw did you envision it being as multi-faceted as it's become?
Chrishon Lampley: No, I never envisioned it to be as large as it is now, so I definitely didn't see the different outlets it has created. My love for wine led me here and I'm shocked about it everyday, but I couldn't be happier.
Monica, please tell us a little about your company, Tasteful Manners?
Chef Monica J: Tasteful Manners provides healthy culinary arts and social etiquette programming to Chicago youth via afterschool programs in Chicago public schools. We also partner with a few community organizations, including the YMCA, By the Hand and Children Home and Aid. Recently, I started a meal prep delivery service. If you want to eat healthy and don't have the time to cook, I can do it for you; I'm a personal chef.
How did the idea come about to do the wine-pairing cookbook, Your Guide to Tasteful Manners with Love Cork Screw?
Chrishon: Honestly, it's the same reason why I created Love Cork Screw wines. People would ask me all the time for food and wine pairing suggestions. As the only vintner to partner with a chef to publish a cookbook, I jumped at the opportunity to continue to give my fans and consumers what they ask for consistently. Besides, Monica is a superb chef, and I thought it would be great for the world to experience us together.
How did you come up with the perfect meals to pair with the wines?
Monica: I created the meals based on everyone who's ever touched and inspired me, from family and friends to students and other chefs. I gave the recipes to Chrishon and she did the pairings. She's the wine expert.
What are some common misconceptions you find people have regarding healthy foods also being tasty foods?
Monica: I use two hashtags all the time when I post my food on social media – # Easy Delicious and #Healthy No Sacrifice. I take pride in my recipes; just because they're "healthier" versions of your favorite meals, you do not have to sacrifice taste. Regarding my students and their families, they want something easy and delicious to prepare, so I try to give them just that.
Monica, tell us a bit about your recent Tasteful Trot Run/Walk event?
Monica: It was amazing! I do an annual fundraiser, but I wanted this year's to be different from past ones I've hosted. Usually we have an event that is all about food. We bring in local chefs and they create their signature dish, healthier in the name of Tasteful Manners. But recently I've gotten more physically active. I joined a gym (360 Mind Body Soul) that I love and wanted to incorporate my new love with my business and…voila! the Tasteful Trot was born. It will be an annual event, so look for us in November 2018!
And Chrishon, you were recently featured on CNBC's show, The Job Interview. How did that go?
Chrishon: I think a simple "wow!" sums it up. It was a great experience to meet so many wonderful people. From the candidates, to working with the producers and CNBC's staff, I felt honored to have such a huge platform to encourage other entrepreneurs and represent Chicago in a positive light.
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
Monica: I'm a classically trained French pastry chef. Initially, my culinary training was patisserie and baking.
Chrishon: I think people would be surprised to know that I enjoy all the Marvel films. As soon as my vacation starts, I am running to the theater to see Thor.
Best advice or words of wisdom?
Monica: Always bet on you!
Chrishon: Follow your dreams. It sounds so cliché, but it's true. Following your dreams ignites passion and passion drives success.
Favorite quote or affirmation?
Monica: "She believed she could, so she did."
Chrishon: "Never stop. Never settle."
What's next for both your respective brands?
Monica: Book #2, and The Tasteful Café, my own dessert bar.
Chrishon: Hopefully, Love Cork Screw will be sold nationally. That's what's next. That's the goal, so please continue to spread the word!
