|To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. - Thomas Campbell
John Coluni died on April 10, 2013 and our hearts ache with sadness. We will miss everything about his passing - that big smile that lit up the room, his infectious laugh and his caring presence. This site was set up by his sisters, Bobbi and Maribeth, to be an online memorial to John. Please use the tabs above for more information about John's life and share your memories through the tribute option below.
Thanks to everyone who attended the celebration of life service on 4/20 at the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Universalist Church. It was healing for our family to hear so many stories about John and feel how much he was loved.
We have established a Coluni Memorial Educational fund for John's son, Dominic. If you would like to donate, click here. Alternatively, if you do not want to use online payment, you can write a check to: MI 529 Advisor Plan. Send to Coluni Memorial Educational fund, 1200 Brooks St, Ann Arbor, MI 48103.
"I have no idea how we are related but we must. Sorry that he was taken so early but sounds like he was well loved and lived a full and happy life."
"John, I met you when we both worked for TransForce.. You always made me smile with your positive attitude about any and all challenges Tom put in your path. Your smile is beautiful to my mind. God Bless you & hold you in his loving arms for all eternity."
"Thy will be done seems hard to say When one we loved has left us. Some day, perhaps, we'll understand."
"John, when you pledged SAE @ WMU.I thought to myself , who is this stocky little guy like me? Infectious smile, happy go lucky,a little mischievous. You,Steve Dara, Rob Bingham ~ "Three Amigos" You guys lit up the room. As older brothers you might have looked up to us. What you probably didn't know is, we looked up to you. Phi Alpha."
"I met John when we both we trying to get back on our feet selling insurance. We quickly became good friends, God Bless John and his family. He will be missed, I am sorry I do not live in Michigan anymore to go to his memorial. He was a true friend even thouh we only knew each other a short time. I will always remember our freindship."
"John was his Grandma Fran's little Cookie Monster. I can still see her clapping her hands and scolding as she discovered him stretched over the loft at camp to reach the cookie tin hidden on top of the refrigerator. She secretly took great pride in his impishness."
"Wow! It's hard to believe you're gone. I'm grateful to have worked with you at Tandem and TransForce, but more importantly, I'm glad I could call you Friend. We sure had some incredible times -- white water rafting, bowling tournament, picnics, happy hour and beyond -- to name a few. I will never forget you -- Thanks for the memories Friend!"
You were such a good caring person. I am fortunate to have known and worked with you. You will be missed. God Bless you and rest in peace my friend.
You were your fatther's pride and joy. Love your father's memory for he loved you above anyone else!"
"My favorite memory of John is at Sebec Lake, Maine at the Blethen, now Coluni camp. John must have been about 12 and my son, Chris, about 11. They were swimming with our dog, Sasha. They would run down the hill and onto the dock and sometimes jump in. Or sometimes not. Sasha was only fooled a few times. I;ll never forget how hard they laughed and how much fun they had. Aunt Nancy"
"John moved in across the street when we were freshman and we had an absolute blast. He quickly became a best friend and confidant. I look back on those years with such fond memories...great times, a lot of laughter and a little bit of trouble. There was always a smile and a twinkle in his eye. My heart goes out to his son and his family."
"Thanks JC for making me a better person, you and I have worked together over the last 16 years and i am truly blessed for that time we shared. We sold and made deals that no one else thought was possible, and everytime i said it would not fly you always said ( BULL). I will miss you my friend but you will be with me in my heart each and every day !!"
"Our family watched John grow through high school and college as his next door neighbors. Witnessed some "great gatherings" and helped him clean several up ahead of Val and Jenny! What a loss of such a wonderful human being. He will always be in our memories."
"John was one of our best volunteers at Solid Ground - a homeless shelter in Roseville. He always offered to help whenever he could and did whatever job needed to be done. He was so disappointed when we had to close, but he remained involved by helping residents move to other sites. Sometimes he would bring Dominic along and they were quite a pair."
"Johnny boy you were one of a kind and will be greatly missed."
"We met John & Dominic 2 years ago during Little League season. Our son played baseball with Dominic on the Hot Rods. John was so great with all the kids! He always had positive things to say, and a great sense of humor. We were so sad to hear of his passing. He will be missed by so many, but never forgotten. Our prayers are with Dominic and John's family."
"John always had something kind to say or a compliment for one of my kids. My heart is breaking that I won't be seeing his friendly face as our children grow up. I will certainly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with Dominic and John's family during this difficult time."
"John's smile and laughter lit up the room and we always looked forward to seeing him at family gatherings. Our kids loved John because he was the big kid in the crowd always joking and laughing. He will be sorely missed, but his energy and spirit will remain as good memories in our hearts."

Harper Government Sides With Iran Against a Canadian Citizen
Somebody asked me recently why I am so angry about the Harper government's handling of the Ukraine crisis. It was a good question and deserves an answer so – here it is.
I find it not only hypocritical but patently offensive for Stephen Harper to posture internationally as the defender of democratic rights in Ukraine while he tramples them here in Canada. It's really that simple.
Harper argues before the world that Russia and Crimea have violated Ukrainian law which is correct although, everything that has happened in Ukraine since the impeachment of the duly elected government is unconstitutional. That, however, is an argument for another time. More to the point, considering his own track record here at home, Stephen Harper is hardly the one to be leading the charge to defend law and civil rights anywhere let alone in Ukraine.
With Stephen Harper, there is no respect for law, constitutional rights or simple ethics. He is guided only by political expediency and bases his decisions on what is right for him rather than what is either constitutionally required or right for all Canadians. His posturing over Ukraine is nothing more than one more attempt to make himself a player on the international stage rather than a sincere defense of Ukrainians, their constitution or their democracy.
His treatment of three former Conservative senators was disgraceful. There is no question that there should be consequences – serious consequences – when laws are broken but we have a process for addressing that and accordingly, the RCMP were already investigating the senators involved. That wasn't good enough for Stephen Harper, however; he rounded up the Conservative caucus in the Senate and ordered them to suspend the three senators without respect for presumption of innocence or due process or the simple fact that the Senate belongs to Canadians and does not operate on his whim.
It wasn't the first time Harper has ignored the law and trampled the constitutional rights of others.
Omar Khadr is anything but a sympathetic individual. Accused of murdering an American medic during a shoot out in Afghanistan, he was captured by American forces and sent to Guantanamo, itself a violation of the American constitution. While there he was subjected to interrogation that has been listed internationally as forms of torture. He was 15 at the time of his capture.
Under Canadian law and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, even people like Omar Khadr have rights no matter how odious we may find it to apply those rights. They, like all other Canadians, are entitled to due process and our government, no matter how much it might believe the accused is guilty, has an absolute responsibility to ensure that every Canadian citizen's rights are protected and applied evenly. The Harper government fought courts all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada to avoid repatriating Khadr to a Canadian prison as every other western democracy had done for its citizens in Guantanamo and which is dictated by Canadian law.
The Supreme Court did not order the government to repatriate Khadr but it did find the government in violation of his constitutional rights. It left it to the government to do the 'right' thing which was optimism elevated to desperate hope.
The law and our rights exist to protect all of us – not just those of whom we approve. If it can't protect the worst of us, it won't protect the best of us either. If we disagree with the law – we change it, amend it or repeal it but we don't ignore it. That is the road that leads to the loss of rights for all citizens.
That is constitutional anarchy not democracy. It puts our rights — not just those of a few — in jeopardy and we are seeing an increasing number of examples of it across this country. Home owners rights were violated in Caledonia and High River, language and privacy rights are being violated and now the Harper government has introduced the Fair Elections Act; an act that strips away voting rights from Canadian citizens living abroad for more than five years among other things.
I find it offensive that the same Stephen Harper that is lecturing Vladimir Putin about respecting the rule of law and the constitution of the Ukraine is so ambivalent about those things in Canada. He's off to Ukraine this weekend to show support for Ukrainians and their constitution but refused to allow public consultation to Canadians on his Fair Election Act.
It's a double standard that screams cynical politics rather than a respect for the constitutional rights of citizens.
Harper's treatment of one of his own cabinet ministers, Helena Guergis, was classic. Guergis was a train-wreck in progress. She had thrown a hissy-fit at an airport because she didn't get preferred seating and was known to be somewhat flighty and inept in her portfolio. She probably should never have been appointed to cabinet but then, Stephen Harper's record on appointments leaves more than just a little to be desired.
When someone whispered in Harper's ear that Guergis and her husband Rahim Jaffer had consorted with prostitutes and drug dealers, he promptly threw her out of cabinet and the Conservative caucus while calling in the RCMP to investigate.
Again, there was no presumption of innocence – not even after the RCMP found that the allegations against Guergis had no basis in fact. He refused to readmit her to caucus or to allow her to run again as a Conservative in her riding denying both her and her constituents the right to decide for themselves.
When Stephen Harper likes you – he'll protect you regardless of the law or what is right. His government recently blocked a motion for a committee investigation into Conservative MP Brad Butt's admission that he had lied to Parliament after the Speaker of the House ruled that there was a prima facie case of contempt of Parliament.
Trivialities like that mean nothing to Stephen Harper when he's protecting his political ambitions. He remains the only Prime Minister in Canadian history to have been found in contempt of Parliament but he not only didn't care – he merely shrugged off that triviality.
When the Government of Quebec introduced it's Secular Charter of Values which takes away the right to freedom of religious expression to some Canadians living in Quebec, Harper dismissed it as nothing more than a provincial matter and it was only after he was shamed into it by public opinion that he reversed his position.
Now, this would be champion of democracy and the protection of constitutional legalities in Ukraine has government lawyers before the Supreme Court of Canada arguing to protect Iran's diplomatic immunity from civil prosecution in Canada in the case of Zahra Kazemi, a Canadian citizen who was murdered while in the custody of the Iranian government.
Born in Iran, Zahra Kazemi became a Canadian citizen and worked internationally as a photo-journalist. She was arrested by the Iranian government for taking pictures of a protest in Tehran. In prison where she was held without trial, she was repeatedly raped, tortured and brutalized. Her injuries were so severe that eventually the authorities transferred her to a state hospital where she subsequently died.
The Harper government which did little to gain her release or to protect Kazemi from the torture she endured is now before the courts defending Iran from a lawsuit by Kazemi's son. The same government that claims to stand on the side of Jesus in Ukraine and which has not only railed against the Iranian government but frozen whatever assets Iran has in Canada is arguing to protect those assets from legal action brought against Iran by her son, a natural born Canadian citizen.
It is disgraceful.
There is ample precedent for the lawsuit as the courts have repeatedly made exceptions to the immunity statute of 1982 for legal action against countries that engage in state-sponsored terrorism or for actions based on torture. Surely to God, if there was ever a country that qualified for exception, it is Iran but apparently not to the Harper government.
The same Harper government that is currently in court arguing that Canada does not have a social contract with its vets is at the same time in the Supreme Court siding with Iran against a Canadian citizen.
The Ukrainian people would do well to take Stephen Harper's support for their cause with a grain of salt. , as an increasing number of Canadians are discovering. While Stephen Harper may publicly declare his support for the rule of law and the application of the Ukrainian Constitution, his track record is not so great. He tends to support and defend those laws and rights only when it suits him.
When it doesn't people and their rights get thrown under the bus. Ukrainians would do well to remember that when deciding whether or not Stephen Harper can be trusted.

Finally, the wait is over. It's time for Kumkum Bhagya, Abhi and Pragya's (Sriti Jha) fans to rejoice, as Abhi will be seen proposing Pragya in the concert, instead of announcing his marriage with Tanu!
In the previous episode, we saw how Alia tries to ruin Abhi's concert. Alia is also shocked to see the tight security at the concert. She decides to spoil the sound devices, so that Abhi's voice doesn't reach the audiences, but her efforts goes in vain.
Check Out The Latest Update & Spoilers With Pictures
Pragya plans to trap Tanu's boyfriend at the concet, while Tanu is eagerly waiting to catch the blackmailer, along with Nikhil, and thinks Pragya is really helping her.
Tanu convinces Abhi for the concert and tells him that only if he agrees to perform in the concert, he will be able to make the marriage announcement with Tanu. Abhi delays to go to the concert. He lays on the bed and doesn't get ready.
Pragya teases Abhi by asking Purab to buy rotten tomatos and eggs, and distribute it among the audiences, as Abhi will not be doing the concert, on time. Abhi finally gets ready for the concert.
Tanu is tensed as Pragya was not seen at the concert. Pragya asks Tanu, why is she so desperate to know about the blackmailer. Ronnie (as a blackmailer) calls Pragya, and asks her to arrange for money within 30 minutes. But Tanu asks Pragya to tell the blackmailer to meet at some private place, as the place at the concert was crowded. Nikhil also reaches the venue wearing a burkha.
Nikhil asks Tanu to tell the blackmailer to meet in the vanity van, so that they can watch the blackmailer in the CCTV. On the other hand, Pragya goes to the monitoring room, and finds in the CCTV footage, a person with burkha. She runs to follow the person, and is shocked to see Nikhil!

Tin in Biological Applications
Although PVC stabilisation has long been the largest application sector for organotin compounds, the biological activity of certain organotins led to their extensive use as wood preservatives, agrochemicals, antifouling paints and disinfectants. At their peak in the mid-1980s, combined use of organotin biocides certainly accounted for annual tin consumption of several thousands of tonnes per annum.
However, many of these compounds, particularly tributyltin oxide (TBTO) and its derivatives, have been subject to intense pressure from environmental lobby groups for over 20 years and TBT is now more or less completely banned from use in marine anti-fouling paints. Although organotin biocides still find some use in crop protection (mainly tricyclohexyl and triphenyl compounds) and in antimicrobial / antifungal formulations (mainly TBT compounds), tonnages are much smaller these days and probably account for no more than a few hundreds of tonnes of tin per annum. There appears to be a general consensus within the industry that the use of triorganotin compounds will decline further in the years ahead.
Dental formulations
One of the longest established pharmaceutical uses of tin compounds is that of tin(II) fluoride and, to a lesser extent, tin(II) pyrophosphate, in toothpastes, dentifrices, topical solutions and mouthwashes. The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tin(II) compounds in toothpastes at levels up to 0.4%, and the American Dental Association has approved topical treatments containing up to 8% tin(II) fluoride.
The generic sector of oral healthcare has been highlighted as a likely growth area for tin chemicals in the medium term. It is clearly evident that patent activity by the major players in this market – Procter & Gamble ('Crest Pro-Health' and 'Oral-B Pro-Expert'), Unilever Colgate – Palmolive and Gaba International – all involving tin(II) salts in dental formulations, has been very intense over the past year or so. Indeed, the demand for tin(II) fluoride has raised questions about global production capacity, particularly because of increasing usage in toothpastes and, potentially, animal healthcare products (see below).
Tin(II) compounds have a long documented history of use in human and animal healthcare products, although actual tin consumption in this sector has been very limited, the main outlet being in the dental industry (see above). However, a recent development based on the synergistic antimicrobial activity of tin and zinc, has led to greatly increased market potential.
ITRI is working with a US-based company, Visions Marketing, to develop a range of animal healthcare formulations for preventing and treating skin diseases in bovine, equine, canine and other animal sectors. These formulations, comprising aqueous preparations of tin(II) fluoride and zinc sulphate, are patented and being marketed in the US under the 'Accelerator' trade name.
Potential tin tonnages are difficult to assess at this early stage, but figures in the range 500 – 1,000 tonnes per annum for the US alone are realistic. Future developments, including human healthcare products, are already under consideration and ITRI plans to follow this technology closely in the years ahead.

Brim Liski: Brim Liski
Brim Liski's self-titled EP sounds more than a little assured for a debut but so it should, given the personnel involved: Ryan Policky (A Shoreline Dream), Jasper Boer, and Cacheflowe (Colorado-based Justin Gitlin, who has issued boom-bap/glitch-hop under the Cacheflowe alias). In simplest terms, the group's sound invites the shoegaze label; however, a couple of things distance Brim Liski from the genre proper, specifically clarity in vocal (where they appear, lyrics are commonly decipherable) and instrumental respects (the group opts for clear separation in its sonic design as opposed to presenting its songs as homogenous masses); some songs also tip slightly more in the direction of electro-pop than shoegaze (the electro-synth radiance of Moving Winter an example) but the difference in this case is admittedly slim.The lead song Fight confidently floats in on a warm and enveloping synthetic breeze of soaring synthesizers and breathy vocals. While such elements are emblematic of classic shoegaze, Brim Liski also anchors the tune with a chunky rhythm track that gives the song a tad more soul than is the shoegaze norm. In All the Things, hushed vocals swirl alongside a robust drum pattern before a mid-song breakdown splotlights first vocals (All the things I do, I do, I do / All the things I know, I know I know) and then drums that trigger the full onslaught a second time. The instrumental Longing could easily be mistaken for a track by Ulrich Schnauss, so potent is the setting's panoramic and rapturous qualities, and the tune is neatly distinguished by a hiccup worked into the song's backbeat chug. Cacheflowe's aggressive beat attack also gives An Endless Drive a powerful thrust, while Driving strips everything away except for an effects-laden electric guitar. Extending the EP's length are two Fight remixes, the one by Jap Jap not radically dissimilar from the original (if slowed down and chilled slightly), and the other, a glitchy treatment by c.db.sn that's funkier in a way that suggests Telefon Tel Aviv trying shoegaze on for size.

Determining Business Project Viability – Project Valuation Function in Corporate Finance
Why the Project Valuation
Part of the process of entering into new ventures and building the business is the ability to properly asses those products for their worthiness and affordability. It is also part of the role of corporate finance to ensure that those projects lie within the strategic aims set for the company.
Corporate Finance and Accounting Model for Quantifying Uncertainty
Corporate Finance departments are tasked with identifying and accounting for abstract concepts such as uncertainty. Over time the accountancy profession has developed mechanisms for accounting for uncertainty and creating systems for determining projects to a mathematical value. This article will highlight some of the techniques used.

A Fashion Staple for 3 Fashion Styles
Shearling coats and jackets are created from sheepskin pelts. They can be luxuriously light-weight, heat and trendy. The lamb pelts make the supple clothes with astounding breathability and insulation. When cared for correctly, sheepskin coats and jackets can very last for many years, ridding the need to get a completely new coat every single handful of seasons. Lots of people choose to acquire faux (pretend) due to the fact it truly is less costly. Faux shearling might search much like genuine the real factor however the breathability, insulation, longevity and luxury cannot assess to actual shearling. Also, genuine shearling is eco-friendly due to the fact it is not made from polyester and acrylic, which can be petroleum-based fibers.
These coats and jackets appear inside a massive assortment of designs and colors. From bomber style jackets to full length hooded coats, the options are infinite which makes it effortless to locate a sheepskin coat or jacket to harmonize with just about any personal fashion. Three personalized types that beckon the addition of the shearling coat to finish their glimpse are rocker-biker, bohemian and country-western.
Irrespective of whether you're a rock star, bike rider or merely want to appear like a single, a shearling jacket will comprehensive your glance. Acknowledged for an edgy and funky physical appearance, the rocker/biker style is synonymous with rugged leather boots like armed forces beat boots or full-length bike boots. T-shirts, jeans and leather-based pants are commonly worn less than the "must have" leather jacket. The most effective leather jacket to get to finish this search can be a bomber type shearling jacket. The bomber fashion jacket was made in the course of Earth War I to help keep fighter pilots warm when flying in open cockpit airplanes. It before long became the symbol of "cool" which is continue to viewed as for being so by today's' criteria.
The bohemian style can also be known as "boho-chic" or "hippie chic" and is also well-known amid the avant-garde, artists and totally free spirits. It's a nomadic gypsy fashion that secedes conventionality with free-flowing earthiness. The all-natural relieve of a shearling coat may be the ideal outerwear choice to finish off this organic style. A sheepskin coat using a natural, unfinished and uncooked visual appeal provides a tribal high-quality that's the epitome of unconventionality.
Farmers, ranchers and cowboys were the 1st to get comprehensive benefit of carrying shearling coats to defend them with the elements.

The name Audrey Hepburn on your own is sufficient to attract an ingestion of breath, a wistful sigh, or perhaps a longing look of admiration from any woman that is inspired by grace, elegance, and timeless sophistication. Actually it's protected to state that Audrey Hepburn may be the pretty definition of timeless sophistication. When it arrived to her wardrobe, she embodied a spirit which was both equally magical and stylish and also a glance that could be carried not just for a lot of seasons, but for generations to come. To mention that Audrey Hepburn is usually a style icon can be an understatement of epic proportions. For females that appreciate a traditional search that may in no way fail, the appear of Audrey Hepburn just IS fashion.
Audrey Hepburn might not have carried outstanding curves on her tall frame like several of her actress counterparts, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Nonetheless she managed to dominate the fashion scene nevertheless. Although Marilyn's and Liz Taylor's model were being certainly kinds to be appreciated, it had been the smooth clean strains in Audrey's gamine figure and wardrobe that actually designed a modern feeling that to at the present time will not be just appreciated, but coveted. Very simple, classic, and however even now so glamorous are what built Audrey's design so popular, and so replicated now. In fact, to embody Audrey's design and allow it to be ever so modern, you simply require seven signature wardrobe staples.
Jackie Onassis might be credited for perfecting the Minimal Black Costume (LBD), but it really was Audrey Hepburn who took this into the huge monitor in "Love from the Afternoon" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's". It was her infamous roles in "Sabrina" and "Funny Face" where by the ensemble including the Capri pant and ballet flat was born. Her aspect "Roman Holiday" was 1 wherever Audrey veered off even her own conventional route to make a menswear encouraged glimpse along with the button down men's shirt worn inside a way that only Audrey could perfect.
Any time you add other very little signature staples of hers, such as the trench coat, the turtleneck, and also the excellent minor purse, you do have a search that is definitely oh so Audrey and…in 2010…nonetheless oh so present-day in just seven wardrobe staples.
Audrey's type and keen trend perception paired together with the dynamic inventive genius of Givenchy are what produced her films her own, and her fashion absolutely nothing less than enviable. But for several actresses back again while in the working day, a pretty costume vis a vis Marilyn Monroe was just that, only a rather dress. Audrey's fashion to the other hand was a person that showcased the importance of the investment decision pieces, the wardrobe staples, plus the idea that significantly less seriously is much more. We bear in mind Marilyn Monroe and also the renowned white dress, for Audrey, we bear in mind style. Time period.
Modern girl includes a myriad of alternatives in relation to vogue, style, and making a appear that is all her individual. With model inspirations this sort of as Audrey Hepburn, we know that we can use the exact same trends right now, which has a little artistic genius of our have so as to add that private contact that tells the globe just who we've been. You can also use timeless fashion and however captivate your viewers by using a sense of sophistication and glamour that will never go out of style.

The Literary Magic of Harry Potter
by William A. Gleason
Added 23.09.2017
PRINCETON – This summer, at literary festivals and bookstores around the world, readers celebrated the 20-year anniversary of the debut of the first book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series – Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (re-titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States) – and with good reason. Since the young wizard's first appearance on June 26, 1997, the "Boy Who Lived" has become the "Icon Who Endures."...
I Love Dick: The novel and the Amazon series in brief
by Mary L. Tabor
Added 22.08.2017
Have to begin by saying that I was turned on to the book from Jill Soloway's fantastic first episodes of the show on Amazon with the marvelous actors Kevin Bacon as Dick, Kathryn Hahn as Chris and Griffin Dunne as her real-life-then husband and scholar Sylvère Lotinger. Having now read the novel, I don't see how Soloway can create another fabulous season (but one can hope), and she is a brilliant screenplay writer and director as the show...
'Wrong Notes' – the skeleton key to free thinking
by Jack Kohl
Added 09.06.2017
As a pianist, I have spent a lifetime reading interviews with other pianists. But I would know, above all, what it is precisely that others think about when they play. People often ask me that question. I do not know if I have ever answered fully before giving what follows. I believe that all great piano pieces and all works of art at last, for the thinking person, recede into their component parts from nature. They are at their best for...
ESCAPE VELOCITY: An author's battle to conquer an Emersonian orbit
by Jack Kohl
Added 06.02.2017
During all of my adult life as an author and pianist, Ralph Waldo Emerson has been for me the supreme and unremitting guide to the Western canon. Emerson's writings have dominated so much of my thought that the routines I have given to the study of his works have, at times, matched the hours of maintenance that one invests as a pianist. When I showed the manuscript of the third novel in my Pauktaug series to a former professor of mine, she...
Author Jack Kohl just 'stole it from life'
by Michael Johnson
Added 01.02.2017
Rarely does a musician with a Juilliard background and a Ph.D. in piano performance find the energy, much less the time, to conceive, plot, write and publish a series of well-constructed novels. Jack Kohl, by Michael Johnson. After I read Jack Kohl's first published work, That Iron String, a story about the world of piano competitions, I decided to keep track of him. His second novel, Loco-Motive, was more polished and more of a page-turner,...
Fact-Checking the WSJ [Editor's note: re Mark Twain]
by David Galenson
Added 24.01.2017
The Wall Street Journal has made an egregious error. I'm not talking about their coverage of Donald Trump, Russian hacking, or any other such ephemera. This concerns something much more serious: classic literature. Mark Twain, ca. 1907. Image courtesy Wikimedia Commons. In his column of Jan. 7-8, Sam Sacks wrote of "Twain's now out-of-copyright masterpiece, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.' " Decades ago, the scholar Philip Young pointed...
Elie Wiesel's Early Work: Four Novels
by Mary L. Tabor
Added 07.01.2017
A Talmudic question has much intrigued me: Two men are stranded in the desert. Only one has water. If he shares it, they both die; if he keeps it, he lives and his companion dies. What should he do? Rabbi Akiva taught that the man has the right to drink it. Elie Wiesel in a lecture he delivered on Rabbi Akiva said, "Rabbi Akiva was very hard, very hard on the survivor." Elie Wiesel's early novels bear out this view and the struggles of the...
Why Bob Dylan deserves his Nobel prize in literature
by Richard Brown
Added 14.10.2016
To the surprise of many, Bob Dylan has become the first singer-songwriter to win the Nobel prize in literature. As the news broke, I was in the middle of teaching James Joyce to some undergraduates – an author who did not win the Nobel, but is often considered a pinnacle of high literature. Many wouldn't look to compare these two artists, not least those already protesting that Dylan's win cheapens the award. But in many ways, they're alike....
The man behind Matilda – what Roald Dahl was really like
by Pojana Maneeyingsakul
Added 13.09.2016
It is 100 years since the birth of Roald Dahl – considered by many to be the world's number one storyteller. His books have received enthusiastic responses from millions of children all around the world. And his tales of the unexpected continue to have a magical pull on readers' imaginations with the BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all loved by children old and young. Earlier this year, a new...
Three alternative romantic fiction authors that will heat up any beach trip
by Zoe Strimpel
Added 04.07.2016
There's no better way to escape the stresses and strains of work and – for many at the current juncture – the acute anxiety of geopolitics, than to put your reading into "romance" gear. Britain versus the world is a gloomy real-world problem; for summer relief, try instead the question of the heart versus the mind. That is the core problem of much of my very favourite, intellectually inspiring fiction. Chick lit is out, I'm afraid: an avowed...
What grammar pedants and fashion victims have in common
by Rob Drummond
Added 05.03.2016
Language pedants who take pleasure in policing other people's use of grammar often have an air of respectability about them, but it's usually a sheen hiding something more pernicious. Rather than actual rules of language, pedantry deals in half-truths, conventions and arbitrary shibboleths which are too often used to embarrass or undermine. Remember this if you get pounced upon by a pedant on National Grammar Day. People often liken the idea...
War and Peace: a user's guide
by Sarah Hudspith
Added 09.01.2016
War and Peace is more than a novel. It's a reflection of Leo Tolstoy's strongly held beliefs – a philosophical tract, not just about politics, war, love, marriage and property, but about history itself and the way the affairs of society are reported. Central to the book is his antipathy towards the way in which historians of his time presented events as entirely influenced by powerful people: monarchs, politicians and generals. Tolstoy felt...
How does autobiography work in fiction?
by Mary L. Tabor
Added 08.12.2015
You know the line: Truth is stranger than fiction? I have a twist on that. I've learned through the writing of three books and a fourth in process as I write this essay that the fictional account of my stories have greater emotional truth and intellectual significance than the factual ones. As memoir has increased in popularity* both in books and movies—"A True Story" being the familiar movie tag—I've continued to argue that fiction, written...
Alexievich's Achievement
by Nina L. Khrushcheva
Added 23.10.2015
NEW YORK – It was 1985, and change was in the air in the Soviet Union. Aging general secretaries were dropping like flies. Elem Klimov's cinematic magnum opus "Come and See" depicted World War II without the heroics on which we were reared, highlighting the tremendous human suffering instead. Klimov's approach echoed that of Svetlana Alexievich – this year's Nobel laureate in literature – in her first book, War's Unwomanly Face, published...
Why Satin Island should win the Man Booker Prize
by David Rudrum
Added 25.09.2015
How many novels can truly be called epoch-defining? Ulysses, obviously. Don Quixote, War and Peace and maybe The Sorrows of Young Werther. Beyond Europe's insular frontiers, The Tale of Genji defined its epoch way back in 11th century Japan. Though only a handful of novels ever achieve it, something about the genre seems to lend itself to the job of encapsulating or incarnating the eras we live in. Tom McCarthy's Satin Island is certainly an...
Dinnertime storytelling makes kids voracious reader
by Anne Fishel
Added 18.09.2015
"Rare words, those that go beyond the 3,000 most common ones, are 10 times more likely to show up in dinner conversation than in storybooks. " As a young child, I loved to imagine myself as a pioneer girl in Little House in the Big Woods, eating fresh snow drizzled with maple syrup. I even pestered my mother to make this treat with the dirty snow that fell on our Manhattan sidewalk. Not a chance. Years later, I honored my young sons' request...

Precocity, Maturity and Creativity
by David W. Galenson
Added 13.08.2015
T.S. Eliot reflected that if there was one word that could be associated with classic works of art, it was maturity. He compared Shakespeare's creative life cycle to that of an exact contemporary: We can...observe, upon a little conversance, that the plays of Christopher Marlowe exhibit a greater maturity of mind and of style, than the plays Shakespeare wrote at the same age: it is interesting to speculate whether, if Marlowe had lived as...
How to write a children's classic: the Gruffalo formula
by Matthew Creasy
Added 10.08.2015
Showing my class of children's literature students around the child's section of a large bookshop recently, the kindly bookseller showed us where they displayed the classics. "You know," he said. "Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, The Gruffalo". First published only 16 years ago, The Gruffalo might seem young to be in this company, yet its success is indisputable. It has been translated into more than 50 languages, there is an animated version, a...

You can fight back against these traffic cameras. Photoblocker is a product that is both easy to apply and legal to use. Simply spray it on and your license plate will be invisible to the camera. The company also has an ebook that will tell you what to do if you have already received a camera ticket. Don't take a chance on not just paying the fine but, lets not forget the insurance hike your going to get after that ticket goes through.The $75.00 in the front end is nothing compared to the hundreds of dollars these tickets can cost you with your insurance every year until the ticket finally is off your license. Check out some of the videos below and protect yourself now before you get a camera ticket. I have used photoblocker and it does work. I know I went through a camera light a while back and have yet to get anything in the mail. I also know they send out those tickets pretty quick so they can get there money. It's all a scam so my advise is to protect yourself before its to late.

Birds To Inspire Drones
Be ready for something unexpected. The future drones would not just deliver pizzas or take your pet dog to a morning walk they could be as tiny as insects, enter jam packed alleys for rescue operations or fly like birds when scouring vast stretches of land.
Researchers have now taken to birds, bats, insects and snakes to build next-generation drones that can even withstand extreme weather conditions. Harvard University researchers have developed a millimetre-sized drone with a view to using it to explore extremely cramped and tight spaces.
A US research team has begun to tackle the problem of airborne robots facing the strong winds and whirlwinds by studying the hawk moth. The researchers flew hawk moths through a number of different whirlwind conditions in a vortex chamber, carefully examining the mechanisms that the hawk moths used to successfully regain flight control.
Another team has created a jumpglider to reduce the amount of power that is required to operate drones. Inspired by vertebrates such as the flying squirrel, the flying fish and the flying snake, the 'jumpglider' combines an aeroplane-shaped body with a spring-based mechanical foot that propels the robot into the air.

Master of Comics: Whilce Portacio
By Mark Avo
To the co-founder of Image Comics and 30-year veteran of the comicbook industry Whilce Portacio, having "trolls" is a good thing. During the "Masters of Comics" panel at Salt Lake Comic Con 2014, Whilce imparted a truth on each member of the audience: he told everyone that the trolls are a very real thing now; they're not just creatures from stories that live under bridges. Having someone troll you, Whilce would tell the crowd, means that people are paying attention to your work.
According to Mr. Portacio, an "Internet troll" is someone who craves the limelight and will harass only if it results in attention for him or herself. Whilce is a creator with a storied history who wants to teach and is ready to see what the next generation is bringing to the world of storytelling and illustration.
When Whilce started in the comicbook industry 30 years ago, the industry wasn't exactly a well-known job and wasn't seen as a career people could do for a living. Whilce went ahead and followed his passion anyway and would go on to have an incredible career.
Mr. Portacio was attracted to comics because of the stylized redesigns "uncle" Neal Adams brought to comicbooks from the commercial art space and because of the visual imagination of Jack "The King of Comics" Kirby.
Whilce said that Neal Adams brought the "extraordinary" to comics. Adams insisted that a medium that had gained a stigma for being only for children was, instead, a medium to tell stories to people from all walks of life. Whilce was inspired by the way that Adams fought for artists' rights and helped to create a healthy comicbook industry. Whilce and fellow Marvel Comics artists of the '90s would eventually build upon that industry and, ultimately, change it forever.
Whilce told an enthralled crowd that Jack Kirby's art opened up the doors of imagination to a generation of storytellers both in and out of the comicbook medium. Kirby was the king of fun and action, but never violence. Kirby taught the world "iconification" and his model of storytelling influences all forms of sequential art to this day.
Whilce broke into "Uncanny X-Men" through his work on "The Punisher" by playing by his own rules. He would quietly suggest to editors that he was the right guy to draw the X-Men through talent and trickery. Every art board he would turn in – because art boards were physically shipped to editors at the time – would have the assigned "Punisher" panels on the front and intricate "X-Men" illustrations of Wolverine and the other Marvel mutants on the back. The result was not a page of panels an editor would look at, rather a spectacular picture on the back of the board that assistant editors would not stop talking about.
Soon after "The Punisher," he was placed on the lead "X-Men" book. During his first week as the penciler for "Uncanny X-Men," Whilce was approached to create a new character that would ruffle the feathers of the other team members. So, together with John Byrne and Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio created the character of Bishop.
Bishop was a super-powered mutant from the future sent to the past to save the X-Men from a traitor. Bishop's strength challenged that of Colossus, but he also had a softer side which was displayed by the crush he had on his team leader, Storm. Bishop added the perfect amount of drama. He was exactly what the editors wanted, still has a huge fan following and is still ruffling feathers in the Marvel Universe today.
Artists at Marvel Comics in the early '90s realized that their art was what was driving comicbook sales. They would create ashcan comics – small art proofs – and give them away at conventions, only to later find the same books selling for up to $100 dollars. They all realized at that point that they could draw anything, anywhere and their fans would follow them. It was then that Whilce, Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino, Marc Silvestri and Rob Liefeld broke off from Marvel Comics and created Image Comics.
The seven co-founders of Image Comics shook the comics industry and are, in a very real way, partly responsible for the huge surge of independent comics and unique storytelling going on today. Many popular books and TV shows, such as "The Walking Dead," owe their lineage to creators like Whilce.
Even with so much success, Whilce was not one to rest on his laurels. Shortly after founding Image, Whilce used his childhood memories of growing up on Midway Island as a Navy brat on his creator-owned title at Image called "Wetworks." Over the next decade, he would go on to have great success on his own with his other creator-owned titles like "Stone" and "Non-Humans."
Today, Whilce still returns to write or draw the occasional book over at Marvel or DC Comics. He told the crowd that even with 30 years in the industry he will not rest and that he will continue to create and to teach the next generation of comicbook greats.
Whilce Portacio is a passionate creator with a love for teaching and exuberance for the future storytellers. He stressed that there has never been a better time for artists to create than now and encouraged every audience member to draw, to write and to create art. The secret to creation, he said, is that the creation has to work inside itself. That's a way of saying that an artist has to believe in their art and put their experiences, their passions and their hard work and grit into everything they do.

July 22, 2011
The least you should know about the 2011 Wolfpack. Part of ACC Week.
• You're on, kid. Russell Wilson is out, Mike Glennon is in and all eyes are on Tom O'Brien to see if he made the right call.
Wilson wanted to return to N.C. State for his final season of eligibility, but he also wanted to spend the spring and summer playing baseball with the Colorado Rockies organization. O'Brien wasn't having it, so Wilson took his talents to Madison, Wisc., opening the door for junior Mike Glennon to lead the Wolfpack to the Promised Land.
Glennon will definitely have big shoes to fill since many consider Wilson one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear a Wolfpack uniform. And Glennon didn't exactly wow fans during the Kay Yow Spring Football Game. He completed 21 of his 40 passes for 182 yards, but he also had two passes tipped at the line of scrimmage that resulted in interceptions -- one for a touchdown. According to the spring game wrapup on the team website, the first six of Glennon's passes were either tipped or knocked down by the first team defense.
Still, O'Brien doesn't think the spring game is a good way to judge Glennon and knows he'll seamlessly transition into the team's top signal caller.
"Those guys are fighting for jobs," O'Brien said of his defense. "Michael Glennon wasn't going to throw for 400 yards against that defense."
• Speaking of defense... This might be the most attacking defense N.C. State has put together during O'Brien's tenure. It's going to play a high-pressure style and will be built around speed and quickness to disrupt the opponent's backfield. Almost all of the linebackers and secondary return and the linebacking corps should be the anchor. Audie Cole has moved from outside to inside linebacker to replace Nate Irving, who led the team in sacks, tackles for loss and was second in tackles. Cole and Terrell Manning wreaked havoc on the edges last year and now former safety D.J. Green will add another dose of speed to the outside. Watch for this unit to do a lot of blitzing this year.
• Going Greene. Even though O'Brien has all the confidence in the world in Glennon, running back Mustafa Green could become the team's top offensive weapon. Last season, the Wolfpack ranked a dismal 95th in rushing offense with just 3.4 yards per carry. Greene led the team with 597 yards and four touchdowns, but he almost split carries with quarterback Russell Wilson. That won't be the same case with Glennon, who prefers to do his work with his arm rather than his feet. Greene did have foot surgery back in April, but should be ready to make the Wolfpack the power running team that O'Brien has always envisioned.
• Tight end failsafe. Senior George Bryan was Wilson's go-to receiver and he'll be that again for Glennon. Bryan, a two-time All-ACC first teamer, had 35 catches for 369 and three scores last year, which was good for third on the team. With top receivers Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams gone, Bryan will be the most consistent receiving attack returning while players such as T.J. Graham, Jay Smith and Quintin Payton adjust to more action.

Funny Condom Jokes
Sex and bodily functions have always been a source of humor and jokes for mankind, and are a staple ingredient of many comedians' routines, including condom jokes.
It seems that most of us find sex funny for a number of different reasons - maybe because we all do it and at times we all make mistakes doing it, maybe because there is just something awkward and fumbling about it. Especially when it comes to contraception - having to pause mid-passion to put on a condom, for example.
Anyway, they might be childish and immature but we find sex and condom jokes hilarious, so here we present to you our favorite funny condom jokes...
Try breaking a condom...
My wife was aghast and said, "What! You mean you wish that our son had never been born?"
I said, "No, I've got his girlfriend pregnant."
She said, "Why don't you wear silver and come second for once?"
An organ grinder.
Finding a condom in your hole.
The funny thing is, they were all just pictures of me.
The first redneck said, 'My wife's so dumb, she bought a toilet, and we don't even have running water.'
The second said, 'That's nothing! Mine bought a ceiling fan, and we don't even have electricity.'
The third said, 'Aw, that's nothing! I was goin' through my wife's purse for some whisky money t'other night and found a box of condoms. And you know what? She ain't even got a penis!'
Melt them down, make a tire, and call it a Goodyear.
I suppose a condom would be better...
The man doesn't believe in hiding things from his son and thinks his son is old enough to learn about such things so he says, "They are called condoms. Men use them for safe sex."
The boy looks at the display and notices there are packs of three condoms. He points to them and says, "Why are there three in those packets?"
The Dad replies, "Those are for high-school boys - there's one for Friday, one for Saturday and one for Sunday."
"Cool!" says the boy, who then notices there are packs of six condoms and asks his Dad, "Then who are the packets of six for?"
The Dad answers, "Those are for college men. There are two for Friday, two for Saturday and two for Sunday."
"Wow!" said the boy, "Then who uses THESE?" as he picked up a twelve-pack.
The Dad sighs sadly and says, "Those are for married men. One for January, one for February, one for March ...
Especially when you weren't wearing one when you began.
I thought I'd rib it for her pleasure.
He took off his condom and tied a knot in it. Then he flushed it down the toilet and said, "Well, if he can get out of that, we'll call him Houdini."
One you go in, and the other you come in.
Unfortunately, it is always the same one...
He rather nervously and shiftily replied, "Errmm, I masturbated with them."
The next day the woman went to one of her male friends and told him what had happened. Then she said to him, "Have you ever done that?"
He replied, "Yeah, a few times."
She said, "You mean you've actually masturbated with a condom before?"
"Oh!" he said, "I thought you were asking if I'd ever lied to my girlfriend."
As we walked into her flat, she ripped all her clothes off and pushed me onto the couch.
As she pulled my trousers and boxer shorts down and swung her leg over me I said, "Before you stick that in there, aren't you forgetting something?"
"I'm on the pill so don't worry about a condom." she said.
"I was talking about my coffee." I replied.
A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot dead by the woman's husband.
Because they have rubbers on their end.
Should we seek medical advice immediately?
Or should we wait until we clear customs with the drugs?
They both spend more time in your wallet than on your penis.
Particularly when I'm trying to pick it out of the bin.
The first condom turns to the second and says, "Do you want to go in and get sh*t-faced?"
I said, "That's ok son. You know, I forget things all the time too."
He said, "Really? Like what?"
I said, "Like that time I forgot to wear a condom and ended up with an ungrateful little sod in my life."
My girlfriend loves them, but my wife hates them.
It was really embarrassing waiting for him to get hard.
Five minutes later he rings back, "It's ok, I've found another one."

"Using MSite alongside the CSCS cards has saved us time by simplifying the process for workers arriving at the site each day. Combining the two has also assisted with workforce management and increased on-site security levels, by ensuring that all contractors working at the Olympic Park are who they say they are, have been fully inducted and have the necessary skill levels required to carry out the work."
John Walker - Head of Security, BAM Olympic Park Transformation
Following the 2012 London Olympic Games, BAM Nuttall was appointed to deliver one of the largest ever construction projects in Europe by creating the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. BAM was tasked with transforming the 2012 London Olympic Park into its post games legacy state, as part of an 18 month, £292m project. BAM took over the entire site perimeter and were responsible for the management of the whole project, which encompassed multiple smaller sites run by other Tier 1 contractors. Human Recognition Systems (HRS) was appointed to deploy a secure access control & workforce management system that could work at scale, be innovative and flexible enough to be easily relocated, whilst remaining cost effective.
The challenge
How to manage:
- 17km perimeter containing multiple Tier 1 satellite projects
- Correct credentials and accreditations for all 10,000 workers
- Simple relocation of site perimeter control points as the perimeter alters over time
- Ensure compliance with strict sustainability targets...
- On an 18 month, £292m project
The Solution
BAM selected MSite, the UK's market leading construction site access control & workforce management solution that utilises biometric technology, to identify workers and manage their access rights to site. Human Recognition Systems solved the problem of scale by deploying a single instance of the MSite software encompassing 24 turnstiles, around the BAM controlled master site. This enabled BAM to combine reports from multiple satellite sites onto one system. The innovative adoption of a wireless canopy, offering 360 degree 'line of sight' internet coverage, allowed all access points along the vast site perimeter to communicate with the central MSite reporting server. Additionally, the wireless canopy facilitated flexible, hassle-free relocations, as a clear 'line of sight' signal could be achieved from any point, anywhere on site.
HRS' exclusive license to use CSCS smart cards in conjunction with biometrics for access control enabled BAM to demonstrate the pinnacle of site access control innovation. This validated both the workers identity and CSCS accreditations, and allowed BAM to avoid costs for additional swipe cards, by utilising those already issued by CSCS. Furthermore, when attempting to access site the workers' cards were validated by CSCS' own Phoenix database. This is a web based service provided by CSCS and allows employers to verify individual's CSCS accreditations. Subsequently, only workers with valid CSCS cards were allowed onto site, and thus contributed to a safe working environment for all.
The redeployment of existing HRS access control equipment from the original Olympic Park build, helped ensure a sustainable and cost effective project.
The Result
By using a single MSite system across the entire site perimeter, BAM was able to secure site access control and generate reports from multiple, smaller sites operating within the encompassing BAM master site. Innovation and cost efficiency were combined with the use of existing worker CSCS smart cards in conjunction with biometrics for access control and accreditation validation. Over the course of the project 100% of workers with CSCS smart cards utilised them as part of the access control process. Additionally, the system proved its flexibility, facilitating several relocations. In a triumph for sustainability, 100% of access control turnstiles were re-used from the original Olympic Park build.
More work
We're incredibly proud, not only of the work we've done, but also who we've done it for...

Equipment review – Sonido portable amplifier
By Alex Gerrard, Senior Outreach Worker
The Sonido portable amplifier is designed to help you hear conversations and other sounds (like the TV) more clearly. Simply point the Sonido in the direction you want to listen and it will amplify the sound you want to hear and reduce the background noise from everywhere else.
I tried and tested the Sonido with headphones and neckloop. The sound quality is very good and it helps with conversations when in a small group and one to one. In my opinion the Sonido is easy to use in or out of the house with volume control and tone control. There is easy access to the batteries, it's very compact and neat, and the microphone allows you to pick up clear sounds / conversation and tone of voice. I recently tested the Sonido with a client who relies on his hearing aid to access communication and was not able to pick up the tone of the conversation until he tried it with the Sonido with headphones. To his amazement he could hear the difference in the tone.
The Sonido is available in the Action on Hearing Loss catalogue at a cost of £62. An additional neck loop is £12.49 excluding VAT, headphones are £14.99. When purchasing the Sonido does not come with the headset so you will need to choose which headset you prefer. The neckloop works with your hearing aid as long you have a loop settings option on your hearing aid. You will need to choose from a neckloop, headphones, stethoset or ear hooks to make the unit complete. Deaf Direct can provide more information and guidance on the right equipment to suit your needs.
The Sonido is an excellent value listener as it gives you digital quality sounds (similar to that used in digital hearing aids), but at the fraction of the price of other digital listeners. We helped influence the design of this product so we know it's great for people with hearing loss. The tone control function allows you to adjust the bass and treble of the sound. This is useful because you can tailor it to suit your particular hearing loss.
Listening to the TV
The Sonido comes with an extra microphone on a 5 metre long lead. This can be placed next to the TV to help you hear more clearly. The sound is sent straight to your ears and cuts out background noise. However, if you press the 'mic' button you will hear the TV and any other sounds in the room. When you release the button, you will return to the plug-in sound. This is useful if you want to speak to someone while watching TV, or if you don't want to miss the phone or doorbell ringing. For the very best TV sound you can even buy a TV kit which plugs directly into the TV. Deaf Direct can provide more information on this, please contact us if you are interested.
