It's been a "little victories" kind of week on the ol' scholarship/writing front this week. Here's a list of what got done:
Academic writing
Book Project Notes: Chapter II, Alternative Narratives, and Presuming to Speak
I have begun transcribing some of my dissertation's second chapter into Domestic Issue's Chapter I. This will consist of a comparative reading of William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Jorge Amado's Tent of Miracles, out of which will emerge both some further elaborations of ideas developed in the prologue for this project (the idea of the New World as a space whose difficulty in being read has its starting point in the land and/but manifests itself most overtly in human beings via racial intermixing, as articulated chiefly by Glissant and Santiago, with an assist from Foucault's notion of heterotopia). I'll also be rereading both these novels to account for any changes in my thinking and try to integrate, as needed, the ideas from the prologue.
Also making their appearance here will be two new ideas to throw into the mix. The first, which I call Astonishment, is the narrative moment in which either the narrator or a character in the narrative (and maybe even on occasion, I will suggest, the writer himself/herself) is unable to articulate what s/he is experiencing. In the texts I'll be examining from here on out, Astonishment occurs when the narrator or character suddenly becomes aware that s/he is in the presence of someone of mixed race, but I will make the claim that it is also a trope for the initial Encounter between Europeans and the landmasses of the Western Hemisphere. (By the way, Astonishment as I will be describing it in this chapter is not something that occurs in the so-called tragic mulatto narratives that were popular in this country in the 19th century; in those, the woman's (with very few if any exceptions, the "tragic mulatto" character is a woman) origins are often so obviously telegraphed to the reader that when the revelation occurs, the only person surprised is the woman herself, and perhaps her would-be husband.) Into that void of unarticulateable wonder rushes the rhetoric of Apocalypse, meant here in its twin senses of "destruction" and "revelation": the wrecking of old orderings of and assumptions about the world, and the glimpse of the beginnings of a re-ordering that is not yet identifiable (here revisiting as well from the prologue the idea of the New World as an indeterminate space), which, certainly in the primary texts in this chapter but also in the ones to follow in this project, miscegenation certainly causes.
The other idea, which I will develop in the chapter that follows this one, is what I am calling "a language." I've italicized the "a" because Foucault argues that heterotopias have their own language; we cannot merely import languages from spaces outside them and expect them to be adequate to the task of describing who or what occupies those spaces. The italicized "a," therefore, is meant to indicate that that language cannot be just any already-existing language but one generated from within that space by its members; we, listening in on the language of this space, can identify it as a language but can comprehend it imperfectly at best.
So, then, that is the outline for the chapter. Below the fold, I want to talk through a couple of (very) big-picture matters that have to do with my position relative to the materials I am working with, not to mention the arguments I'm making about those materials.
Book-project Progress
It is the last day of July; next week, I will turn away from daily work on Domestic Issue in favor of getting things ready for the new semester, which begins in three weeks. So, mostly just for me (but also, obviously, for anyone who happens to come upon this post), I thought I'd post a little "How I Spent My Summer, Scholarship-Wise" post.
So, why am I writing this book again??
To be clear, I've known why; however, someone looking at my vita and seeing where I teach now and where I've taught before, and how long it's been since I obtained my doctorate, might wonder. Why now, after all this time? So, I'd like to point that person to this essay by David Perry (thanks to my FB friend Kendra Leonard for linking to it), and in particular to this paragraph:
For me, the key was realizing that I was writing this book solely for myself. I believed I knew some things about history that were important and would contribute to a field of study to which I have dedicated much of my life. I believed that the best way to communicate my findings was via a long-form monograph, rather than chopped into discrete articles. I did not, and do not, expect this book to transform my career. A new study shows that perceptions of prestige matter at least as much as quality of work in terms of hiring at top jobs, so no matter what I write, those perceptions are static.

Minnedosa History
he town of Minnedosa is situated in a valley with
the Little Saskatchewan River running through
it. The valley of the Little Saskatchewan River
came into existence some 12,000 years ago. The valley
was created as melt water from the receding glacier
ran its course into the nearby glacial Lake Aggassiz.
The rushing waters, at some points measuring more
than a mile wide and 200 feet down to the river's edge,
carved the valley out of the prairies.
The Little Saskatchewan River forms at Lake Audy
in Riding Mountain National Park, some thirty
miles north of Minnedosa, and flows south into the
Assiniboine River at Brandon.
Archaeological discoveries date the presence of
human habitation back to the time of the glacier
receding with the finding of Clovis and Folsom points.
The recorded history of this area dates back to
the mid 1700s as fur traders began to enter the area.
Two small fur trading posts, one by the Hudson's Bay
Company and the other by the North West Fur Trader's
Company, were built in the immediate area in 1818.
After the amalgamation of these two companies in
1821, both posts were abandoned.
The first settlers in the Minnedosa valley arrived in
the early 1870s. One of these settlers was John Tanner.
He opened a crossing on the Carlton trail and operated
it until 1883 when the railroad came through. In 1874,
the North West Mounted Police established
a post at Tanner's Crossing. This site is
marked by a stone cairn which is located
along the Beach Road approximately 1/4
mile east of Main Street.
Pioneers began arriving to this area in
great numbers in the late 1870s and began
building homes and businesses. By 1879 a
grist mill had been built. The Manitoba and
North Western Railroad built track to the
area in 1883, the same year that the Town of
Minnedosa was incorporated.

Fun Fest
ince 1963, Minnedosa has hosted an unforgettable
summer celebration! Over the years there have been a
number of name changes for this festival but no matter
what you call the current Fun Fest, there is something special
for the whole family.
The festivities kick off with Kiddies' Day targeted toward the
children. There are numerous games and activities planned
as well as a Kiddies' Parade. During the parade, many
children like to dress up in costumes and decorate their bikes
or wagons to show off to the parade spectators.
The big Fun Fest Parade is held Saturday morning and
features floats, marching bands, animals, vintage cars and
tractors, and pretty much everything else a parade should
Other popular Fun Fest attractions include great food,
social gatherings, dances and many other unique attractions.
A Downtown Street Market was introduced in 2010 and
proved to be such a success that it continues each year.
If you happen to be in the area during the early July, be
sure to take in some Fun Fest activities. There is something
for every member of the family to enjoy.

Lake & Spillway
innedosa's greatest attraction is its lake. Minnedosa Lake is a man-made
body of water which was originally created for the production of hydro
electric power by damming up the flowing waters of the rustling Little
Saskatchewan River.
The official birthday of Minnedosa Lake is April 10th. It was on that day back in 1912 that water first flowed over the
original Minnedosa spillway. That was the very same day that the doomed vessel, Titanic set out on its maiden voyage from
England. Minnedosa's spillway would experience its own disaster in May 1948 when the aging, crumbling dam collapsed,
draining the lake and sending its water rushing through the town, causing severe flood damage to downtown Minnedosa.
Fortunately, though there was a major cleanup to contend with, the flood of '48 did not result in any loss of life!
The current dam and spillway we see today was built between 1950 and 1952 and in recent years has undergone a
major re-structuring by the provincial government to strengthen the structure in hopes that Minnedosa never again experiences
a flood as a result of a collapsed dam.
You can walk across the current spillway and dam, located at the south end of the lake and admire the flagwalk which
features flags from various locations around the World.
Along the east side of Minnedosa Lake is the beach, boat launch and campground area. The unique building located
on the east shore, near the sandy beach is the Centennial Pavilion, which was constructed as a project to commemorate
Canada's Centennial in 1967. This building is still used for special functions and is currently home to the Minnedosa Tourism
Minnedosa Lake is a year-round attraction. In summer, it is a popular spot for swimming, boating, kayaking, canoeing,
etc. and in winter, the ice surface houses a number of ice fishing shacks. The pavilion/beach area also serves as the starting
point for a number of local snowmobile derbies. Each February, during the long weekend, Minnedosa Lake comes alive with
activity during the Skate the Lake outdoor pond hockey tournament, which this past year introduced a curling aspect.
No matter what time of year you visit Minnedosa, the lake is a great place to visit and our most popular must-see

The Siren
Four W
hen visiting Minnedosa you will most likely
hear a wailing siren at certain times during the
day. Do not be alarmed, the siren sounds three
times a day at 8 a.m., 12 noon, and 6 p.m.
The sounding of the siren dates back to before
Minnedosa was incorporated as a town in 1883. Three
years earlier, the start and end of shifts at the local grist
21 ARMITAGE AVE . mill was marked by a steam whistle. This whistle was
first used to signal a fire and summon the fire department
in 1889. Following the loss of the mill to fire in the early
1900s, the Canadian Pacific Railway signaled fires with a
whistle salvaged from an old steam engine.
We Repair: The Town of Minnedosa purchased a large bell in
GOLF CARTS, ATV'S & SNOW MACHINES, approximately 1905 and installed it in the tower of the old
LAWN MOWERS, TILLERS, TRIMMERS Town Hall, which was located where RBC Royal Bank is
today. This bell was not only used for signaling fires, but
also as a curfew bell for youth and the beginning of the
& WATER PUMPS morning, noon and night signals that continue today. This
SALES, PARTS & SERVICE bell can now be viewed at the Heritage Village.
33 Years Experience The current siren was installed in the community
Ph. 867-2737
by the Federal Government in 1963 to be used in the
event of a missile attack. Such sirens were installed in
communities following the Cuban Missile Crisis and
Owners/Operators escalating Cold War. The siren is currently located at the
Sally & Ken LaBelle Town's Public Works Shop in the Industrial Park in the
northwest corner of Minnedosa.

Heritage Village
ithin the town limits of Minnedosa sits another little town – the Heritage
Village. The Minnedosa District Museum moved to this site in 1995 and
since that time a number of historic buildings have been moved in and
restored to create a quant pioneer village. The Heritage Village is open daily during
the summer months and by appointment during other times of the year.
During your visit to the Heritage Village you will see thousands of pioneer
artifacts, some common everyday items and others which are rare and unique. The
artifacts are housed throughout the village buildings which include a log barn, a one-room
schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, a 1910 family home, a small trappers cabin, a country church
and a log house dating from 1880. The current administration cottage was once a small family home and the brick building at
the Heritage Village is a former hydro electric generating station which is original to the site. The highlight attraction at the
Heritage Village, when it comes to its building collection, is the large, two-storey, octagon shaped building which originally
served as an agricultural display building for the local Agricultural Society. This uniquely constructed, fully restored structure
is a provincially designated heritage building and one of only three such buildings still standing in Manitoba.
Other attractions at the Heritage Village include a windmill, suspension bridge over the Little Saskatchewan River,
wooden waterwheel, the old Town bell, antique farm equipment and a trout pond for fishing.
When visiting the Heritage Village be sure to give yourself at least an hour-and-a-half or longer to see it all without
being rushed!
Each August, the Heritage Village comes alive during Heritage Day. If you are fortunate enough to be in the area for
this event you can step back in time and see museum volunteers in period clothing, attend a pioneer church service, tour the
museum, enjoy live entertainment, delicious food and pioneer demonstrations to see how things were really done back in the
"good old days".
Earlier this year, Minnedosa District Museum and Heritage Village placed second out of 32 Manitoba museums in an
online Travel Manitoba contest in which people voted for their favourite museum! Come see for yourself and explore the little
pioneer town within the Town of Minnedosa.

Business and Industry
ur valley setting is not only ideal for life and play. In fact, our geography creates a number of strategic advantages
for business and industry.
Situated at the intersection of Provinicial Highway's 10 and 16, Minnedosa is at the crossroads of two
major routes. Highway 10, one of Manitoba's primary north-south travel corridors is used
daily by commuter traffic as well as access to Riding Mountain National Park.
Highway 16, part of Canada's Yellowhead Highway, is a major commercial
overland route connecting Portage La Prairie to key communities across the
northern part of the Provinces.
Our location, combined with the opportunities for industrial and
commercial development both in our Crerar Bay industrial park as well as
available rural properties, opens the door for numerous possibilities.
Major employers in the area include the agriculture
industry, the regional health district, Heritage Co-op and
Husky Energy. With a wide service area supporting
surrounding communities beyond the 2,500 Minnedosa
residents itself, our community's appetite to support
new ventures is a healthy one.

Sports And Recreation
M innedosa is known for its deep-rooted interest in sports and recreation all year long. Throughout the community, there
are numerous walking, jogging, running and cycling trails and paths to explore. These are highlighted on the community
map found elsewhere in this guide.
In the Spring and Summer months you can attend various sporting activities to cheer on athletes in baseball, rugby, soccer
and golf. Each of these sports feature local teams of various ages from beginners to experienced. The community's main baseball,
rugby and soccer action areas are located at the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre site which is designated to be the future home
of a new arena. This area can be found along 6th Avenue N.W. next to the Ag Society grounds.
There are also sports fields and game areas at Minnedosa Beach, Tanner's Crossing
School and Minnedosa Collegiate.
If you are a bowler, be sure to check out Minnedosa Bowl for
year-round five-pin bowling action and the Minnedosa Recreation
Commission runs a wide variety of programs throughout the year.
As Minnedosa is fortunate to have its own lake and the Little
Saskatchewan River running through the community, there are many
opportunities for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and motor water
sports. Fishing is also a popular pastime along the river, at the lake or
at nearby Anton's Lake which is located at the junction of Highway #10
and #16 northwest of town.
West of Tanner's Crossing School, along 1st Avenue N.W. is River's
Edge Recreation Park. Here you will find walking trails, a skate park, a
dog park, bike park and nine-hole disc golf course.

Bison Park
ocated along Highway #262 between downtown
Minnedosa and Minnedosa Lake, you will find a herd of
bison housed in a large, fenced compound known as the
Bison Park.
Decades ago, bison herds, numbering in the millions roamed
the plains and crossed the Little Saskatchewan River Valley as
part of their natural migration route. In March 1996, the bison
returned to Minnedosa, thanks to a tourism project developed by
the Minnedosa Lake Rehabilitation Committee. For the past 22
years, our local herd of bison have been a popular attraction for
both local residents and visitors to our community.
The bison park is designed to provide a spacious grazing
ground for the herd as well as visibility for spectators from all
sides. The bison remain onsite at the local compound
year-round, so it does not matter what time of year you visit
Minnedosa, you can always visit the bison! If you are fortunate
enough to be in the area during April or May, there is a great
chance you will see newborn calves roaming close to their
Bison bulls live for an average of 20 years and weigh in
at an average of 900 kg or 2,000 lbs. The female bison (cows)
have an average lifespan of 17 years and usually weigh in the
neighbourhood of 545 kg or 1,200 lbs. Bison calves are born
between April and May and weigh an average of 27 kg or 60 lbs.

Historic Sights
innedosa is a community steeped in history. Celebrating its 135th anniversary this year, the Town of Minnedosa
was incorporated in March 1883. Throughout the community are numerous heritage highlights, monuments
and buildings paying tribute to the past.
A small peaceful parklike setting, marking the area's early beginnings as Tanner's Crossing can be found along
the Beach Road just before reaching the Bison Park. The Tanner's Crossing site can be found by travelling east on 2nd
Avenue S.E. from Main Street (turn at the historic clock tower). The site is marked with signage and bordered by large
spruce trees, just around the curve as you travel over the railway tracks. If you reach the Bison Park, you have gone a
little too far!
Just south of Minnedosa Beach, near the east entrance to the walkway across the spillway are a number of historic
sighting posts. Here, you will find a number of plaques depicting some specific historic points of interest. There are
also various historic plaques along the flagwalk on the dam at the south end of Minnedosa Lake which will lead you to
Minnedosa's Museum and Heritage Village.
Tanner's Crossing Park, just east of the Main Street bridge also holds a number of historic plaques as well as a
decommissioned train engine and caboose which are definitely worth checking out!
Nearby you will find the community's war memorial featuring a cenotaph and decommissioned Sherman tank.
These are located at Main Street at the corner of 1st Ave. S.E.
In the downtown business district, there are a number of Founders Parks located at various street corners. Each
small park features a plaque honouring some of the influential men from our community's rich past. If you enjoy historic
architecture, you will see many older homes and building as you walk or drive along the streets of Minnedosa. In addition
to wood and stucco, Minnedosa boasts a number of older brick and stone buildings. Here are just a few of the historic
buildings worth seeing while in Minnedosa: Civic Centre on Main Street with its tall clock tower, St. Mark's Anglican
Church (108 2nd Ave. S.W.), Kruk Castle B&B (149 2nd Ave. S.W.), Canadian Pacific Railway Station (just west of the
Main Street rail crossing), Octagon Display Building (at Heritage Village) and the Court House at the corner of 3rd Ave.
and 1st Street S.W.
For a spectacular view of Minnedosa, be sure to climb the Lions lookout tower, located at the top of the cemetery
hill – the steep gravel road on 2nd Ave. S.E. directly east of the Civic Centre (clock tower).

Ernst and Young Court Judgement
LORD LANGLEY'S SUMMING UP CLAUSES IN THE ERNST & YOUNG CASE 10 February 2003
"128. In my judgement, Equitable
should not be permitted to pursue the lost sale claims and the loss of
chance of sales claims. I also think that the bonus declaration claims as
pleaded and explained for the purposes of these applications can fairly be
described as fanciful in approach and amount. There may be proper claims
which could be advanced on this or a related basis but not, I think, those
which are made, and I do not think it is right or consistent with the CPR
(Court Procedure Rules?) that defendants such as E & Y should face
claims of the magnitude of these bonus declaration claims which can be
shown to have so many basic flaws.

Very well explained. All of us are going through the same life styles. It's true. A Sadguru can only see and know our mind , understand about us and show us the right path.
YOGA : A Cure to Insanity
Crowds and quarrels are a common thing to seen on the roads, in the buses and everywhere. Generally we find neighbours and persons working together and other people, getting excited for no serious reasons, on tribal matters. It appears that everyone in the world of today is full of excitement, tension, anger and jealousy. They are in no way less than explosives and need a spark to explode. Tolerance, bearance and patience have become things of past and are no where to be seen. People work round the clock in big cities, like machines, with furious, agitated and strained minds and frowning faces, for want of happiness and mental satisfaction. But they are helpless with no alternative and way out except to work and earn their livelihood, in the manner, the prevalling social structure permits them. It is very rare to see a man with serene outlook, a composed calm face and divine radiance. They are mere destitute and lead a life devoid of yoga. What the modern world, a world of machines, has given to the mankind? It has transformed the human beings into machines, will be the answer beyond any doubt or hesitation. It seems to have snatched many times more than what it has contributed towards so called prosperity. Stresses and strains in the present life have not only crushed the sentiments, emotions and natural feelings of the individuals but have caused a great damage to the brains decreasing the span of their lives, as they fall an easy victims to various untimely diseases and disorders.
It has been proved that a man full of griefs, worries and anxities and consuming a food devoid of nutritive values develops wounds in stomach and intestines. They lose their power of absorption and grow sluggish. Appetite disappears, causing a decay in physical health. Whole metabolism is disturbed. Digestive system fails. Gas, hypertension, Blood Pressure become permanent features. Time goes on consuming the individual. All this dominates and overtakes the mental factulties which in turn cause a further deterioration of all physical systems clearing a way for a total collapse. This state of affairs affects the functioning of heart and the brain and the individual not knowing as to what is happening to him gets gripped in the clutches of an unexpressible mysterious fear. This state of mind when continues for some time without proper attention and right treatment results in total nervous break down and leads to insanity.
Heredity and environment play on important role in the life of an individual. He is an embodiment of what he has borrowed from the two. Apart from the affects of rapid industrialisation, unemployment or poverty one may suffer from dual mindedness, suspection and confusion over the modern trends and changing social values. He may develop a deep anguish or hatred for some one showing indifferent behavior due to meanness and one's selfish nature. We find that love, joy, self sacrifice, kindness and truthfulness are fast disappearing from this world. People do not understand the real meaning of religion. They are miles away from yoga and its secrets. They don't realise that love, joy, hatred and sorrow etc. and all present everywhere in everyone and their behaving and looking at others with kindness, love and affection and benevolence will arous similar feeling in others and that through positive thinking and doing virtues can be cultivated to make this world happy and worth living. But reality is just the reverse and as a result we find people living in a dead life with broken hearts, hurt feelings and earnest desires and passions and burning ambitions remaining unsatisfied and suppressed and buried for ever. Some times sudden losses, shock, accidents and unexpected fears & feeling of insecurity also prove to be reasons for a deranged mind. In such cases the weakest of the bodily systems collapses due to excessive nerve pressure and degeneration of others also follows, Sleeplessness and restlessness prevail and harm all the more. The darkness spreads when fuse wire gets fused. So it the condition of body when brain loses its power. The mind becomes desperate and sees the end of life very near and out of fear it cries out showing uncontrolled abnormal behaviour.
Thus the complexities and problems of life and a failure to solve them makes one feel disgusted, frustrated and unstable. It is this instability of mind which when persists develops into insanity in due course of time. This insanity can be considered to be a revolt, a reflection of what the individual gets from the society. One may question that the mental disorders causing one to act against the social and legal demands of society is due to one's own personal reasons and disturbances in the family or small circle of alliances or acquaintances. But because they are also a part of bigger circle the ultimate responsibility lies on the whole set up. As we find that victims of injustice and those tortured by the society generally turn out to be unlawful and become robbers and dacoits.
Any how our motto is not to see all that but confine ourselves to prevalent causes for such disorders and that how yoga can be great help to eradicate them for ever. All of us know that yoga can confer tremendous super human power on one hand and on the other hand it can best explain the relations between body and mind and saves the sufferers from fatal results.
It will be seen from the following account that yoga cares more for brain and the nervous system as they occupy a very important position in the mechanism of the life and mind. It is to be observed that brain and nervous system cannot easily convey abnormal or supernormal feelings and ideas to the mind that are contrary to predominant mental traits & tendencies and Samskars. If forced and compelled they may obey reluctantly for a time but they will at last give way completely and the results of physical and mental will be disastrous. Thus one has to be very careful in those matters because even a tiny screw in the brain getting lose may create havoc. It is horrible when the nerves are disturbed as diseased or when they are over at rained, life becomes miserable. It seems dreaty, joyless and aimless. at a standstill and death seems to be only relief.
It is at such a time that an expert teacher, a competent spiritual guide (Sadgurudev) with an insight can save an individual. Efforts and ideas from others upto the level of consciousness may run riot in the mind and due to feeble self control may hardly be restrained. Generally there is no come back from such a stage when curing fails, medicines give a temporary relief and impulses from the deranged mind reappear, indicating the end of life inevitable for no escape from all pervading darkness. Sadgurudev, out of mercy grants him complete protection(Abhyadan) during his very first contact, the first touch of blessings and absolutely free from all pains and griefs and it safe forever. This develops a new confidence in the patient and he sheds all fear the very moment.
Insanity generally descends from 'Ignorance' , as one has a limited vision and a narrow outlook towards life. He is ignorant about right and wrongs and real values of life and the absolute truth , Sadgurudev makes him feel that what he thought of gaining in life was meaningless and it was all illusory. Thus realization serves as the best cure for insanity and the individual is comforted to the extent he realizes the truth.
The process and the grace of Sadgurudev does not stop here. It is just a beginning He, as a great psychiartrist, has a deep insight and clearly sees into the mind of the sufferer and with a perfect understanding he is set every screw tight in the brain and shower his benevolence to bring eternal calm and tranquility in the individual. The treatment given is many fold in character and carried out with a great delicacy in a very systematic manner.

If you follow me on IG than you might know why I was MIA for a few days.
Last week I was sick for almost the entire week but started feeling better just in time for our Chicago trip.
So yes, I've been sharing outfits from the week before, not that it matters right. ;)
On a different note, I was so happy when I saw this dress at ON online. AND every single size was already sold out except mine! This doesn't happen very often.
Happy Hump Day and thanks for stopping by!

By now, we've all heard about the wonders of 4G, the next generation mobile network. It promises incredible speeds and will revolutionise the way we get online on the move – but only if you can actually access it in your area.
The rollout of 4G, started by the mobile network operator EE back in October 2012, is an ongoing process, which means that not everyone will be able to access it yet. Users of EE 4G mobile phones are the best off at the moment, as the operator's network now extends to 117 towns and cities and even reaches many rural areas. Vodafone and O2, along with Three, are also in the process of launching and rolling out their own 4G services, but only a handful of major cities have actually seen 4G go live so far.
If you live in London, the chances are that you will be definitely be able to access superfast 4G mobile broadband from one network or another. The nation's capital is a key focus for mobile operators, particularly because of London's status as a business capital. If you live in another large town or city, you should also be connected to 4G.
The way to find out for sure before you start looking for a 4G-ready iPhone for sale (hint: the iPhone 5, 5s and 5C are the only models compatible with 4G) is to head to your chosen network's website and use their coverage checker tool. If your postcode isn't yet on their list, find out when it will be or try another network.
Before opting for 4G services ensure that the company chosen offers wireless 4G services or not. AFTER ALL 4G network works best if one desires to have splendid wireless capabilities. The serice providers that do not render services may offer a particular kind of router for wireless accessibility.
With the help of the router, clients can access 4G services particularly at home. the wires 4G services render True mobility which helps one to use laptops all around the city. Most of the 4G service providers offer citywide but it is better to check out the coverage area before opting for the services. It is utmost necessary to ensure that the service provider renders services in that particular area where one lives.
4G services are new and hence they are not available in each and every area of the world. In order to know the accessibility of 4G network one can choose to visit websites of topmost service providers in order see when 4G service is going to make impact in that particular area. It is needless to say that as a particular network progresses, it is likely to be available in more and more places. With increasing demand and popularity more cities will be able to access 4G network in short span of time. Along with the coverage area it is necessary to check that what kind of internet plans does the company offers.

INKids's latest release Futaba Classroom Games for Kids offers a fantastic open-ended, multiplayer educational game for kids that demonstrates an ability to respond to the requests of educators and parents, and joins developers like Toca Boca and LaunchPad Toys in exploring how to use touch technology to facilitate engagement between children, parents and educators through what is designed on the screen.
This small startup has been kicking around for over two years, when they decided to focus on children's apps, believing that the iPad would revolutionize the way we think about the use of technology in early education classrooms.
That revolution is some distance away when it comes to the broader early childhood space, but I am pleased to profile INKids because their latest couple of apps demonstrate how apps will be best used in kindergarten and early childhood settings. Despite some school districts pushing for one-to-one devices for younger children, this is a model driven by out-dated pedagogy and not recognizing the increasing evidence of the value of play-based learning and its contribution to learning a breadth of skills like socialization, collaboration and problem solving.
One-to-one touchscreens are not going to support the type of education younger children need. Devices in early childhood environments up to 8 or 9 years will benefit from mobile devices that allow them to interact with each other, or interact with the world around them. Both the Futaba Word Games and Futaba Classroom Games for Kids allow children to engage with each other.
Both of these apps have positions for four players on each side of the app and they basically run like a quiz game where an image, or a word, or a math sum appears with a number of answers. The game is timed and there is a winner, but it is also a way for children to test where they are at personally. With Futaba Word Games this continued the literacy and language theme that INKids had developed with their Flashcard app, but Futaba Classroom Games for Kids takes it to another level with much greater diversity and options for the content of the different games.
Like many developers, these folks started with a flashcard app. Still, despite the multitude of flashcard and ABC apps out there, INKids seemed to carve out a niche with Flashcards for iPad, an app which provides a way for parents to teach their kids a second language as they are learning their first words. To date, Flashcards has had half a million downloads, around 100,000 sales and has recently attracted marketplace support from the NSW Government via the Interactive Media Fund.
The real key for INKids was that David Wingler in Japan, a teacher at Osaka Kunei Girls' Junior and Senior High,got in contact with the team. He'd downloaded close to a hundred different apps, hoping to find a company that might help bring his idea to life. After many hours trawling through the App Store, INKids stood out because of their attention to detail and their design aesthetic (which David believes has "an Asian, or almost Japanese sensibility").
Dave Wingler pitched his idea to INKids. And, importantly, co-founders John McCann and Jude Novak took the time to listen to him. After a series of emails, a few Skype meetings and a few months of design and development time, Futaba Word Games was born. So often this is the story behind app development - random emails and a meeting of like minds find a space and a project to work on.
Futaba Classroom Games for Kids builds really well upon the earlier Futaba Word Games. The original version frustrated the team at INKids because it seemed unable to get traction in the App Store (again, a familiar story for children's app developers). As John, one of the directors explains, "This (lack of discovery) was partly because it had a weird name, and partly because the App Store is cluttered with educational apps."
The value in the renaming and redesign is that Futaba Classroom Games for Kids allows for creativity and the ability for teachers or students to create their own content to use in the game environment. The options for adding your own quiz content is open-ended and really important from the perspective of early childhood educators who so often want to build learning materials around a theme. This is why INKids deserve to be featured here: they offer an app that meets the needs of children learning, socializing, interacting through the screen not just with the screen and simultaneously are offering so many possibilities to teachers and parents who want to design their own content. I can even see a time where the task for older classes is to develop quizzes and content that can then be used by younger classes. The reality of open-ended design tools like this is that it lets teachers really evolve in their planning and use the digital tools in ways developers could not have expected.
Futaba (which is Japanese for "Seedling") is now being used in classrooms all over the world. It is great to see developers responding to their experiences with their apps and listening to parents and teachers to help them design apps that best meet the needs of children.
I hope INKids and other developers continue in this way to work and collaborate with their audiences in producing fine digital tools for children.

Mikhail Bulgakov: a literary life
The Master and Margarita was a huge posthumous success, especially among more counterculturally inclined students
Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece, the surreal, satirical The Master and Margarita, was a huge posthumous success, an instant cult hit in the English-speaking world, especially among more counterculturally inclined students. His third wife, Elena Shilovskaya, battled to get it published when he fell out of favour with the Russian authorities. In 1967, 27 years after his death, a first, incomplete draft of the novel appeared in Moscow, with a full version and English translation being printed shortly afterwards.
Writing was not his first career. Born in 1891 in Kiev, the eldest son of an assistant professor, he trained to be a doctor. With his first wife, Tatyana Lappa, he went to live and work in provincial villages as a surgeon and physician. He recalled this time…

US Campgrounds
Jefferson County
Whitetail Creek RV Park
Whitetail Creek RV Park, Montana
Custom Search
Warning: If you see descriptions of this place extolling the ''views of the mountains'', be aware that the ''views'' are through the chain link and barbed wire surrounding the electric power station immediately adjacent to the ''campground''. The place was covered in weeds and trash - there were several junked out trailers in the back. The owner was in Utah the weekend we stayed there, so there was NO ONE looking after the place! We were afraid to leave our trailer unattended in case it got broken into. As we were there for the Butte folk festival, and all the decent campgrounds around there were full, we ended up staying, but we felt completely ripped off as we were charged what
we would have paid to stay in a decent, well-maintained campground with proper facilities. I would NOT recomend this place to my worst enemy! Says Lorna Lambert (Sun, 18 Jul 2010)
There are so many entertaining things next
to Whitetail Creek RV Park; it is a very wonderful campground. Whitetail Creek RV Park is a campground reasonably frequently visited by the folks of Whitehall.
In Montana you never run out of outdoors amusing stuff.

Started by visionary publisher Bob Vorel, Blues Revue has grown to become the world's most popular, largest selling blues publication and now covers all aspects of today's blues music scene.
Catfish Returns to California for January 2003 Tour!
Catfish Keith will start his return tour of California at the NAMM Show January 16-19 in Anaheim, with his longtime pals and endorsers National Reso-Phonic Guitars, Highlander Pickups and John Pearse Strings.

Catfish Makes Waves with "A Fist Full of Riffs" CD.
"A Fist Full of Riffs," Keith's eighth solo album (this time on the Solid Air label), is his first all instrumental album, has been getting some rave reviews around the world. Over in Perth, Scotland, music writer and critic Dave Arcari writes, in the Music Scene section of the Perthshire Advertiser, Oct. 22, 2002:
"Although Catfish is famous in the blues world as 'the new king of slide guitar' and the face of National Reso-Phonic Guitars, the first three tracks are all performed on a regular wood-body. The opener, the title track, is an intricate string-twanging masterpiece that immediately sets him apart from the current wave of acoustic 'technopickers' thanks to depth of feeling, soul and style as well as technical prowess.
"A mix of harmonic-popping Hawaiian and jazz styles makes Kohala March impressive listening , but it's the cuts on his trademark National steel-body guitars that steal the show.
"Hawaiian Cowboy is one of our favorites along with a new bottleneck track, Freckles. There's a real mix of influences through the material on this album - the island music of Joseph Spence, the deep blues of Blind Willie Johnson's Dark Was the Night and the brain-addling complexity of 12th St. Rag.
"That mix, combined with Catfish's original and captivating guitar style prevents this from being tagged with the 'accomplished but boring after awhile' fate of many instrumental albums. It's a great CD."Buy It Here Online
Looking Back: Highlights of 2002
On The Road with Catfish:
"Alright!! This has been a terrific year with lots of great gigs. Last January started the year in one of my favorite states, California. Surprisingly big crowds at most all the shows, sold out at lots of them! Since I never expect anybody to show up, ever, Penny and I were tickled. It's a real tall, beautiful place, starting down in LA creating new music at the NAMM show with John Sebastian, Doug MacLeod and his buddies, our steel guru Bob Brozman, then attempting to get a sunburn on the beach in Corona Del Mar with our pals Bob and Jill Kazer. Margie and Greg Mirken at Spruce Tree Music in Laguna Niguel helped jump-start the tour, then up to Old West country in Los Alamos at the Union Hotel, which was built in 1880 and made me feel like Buffalo Bill, or some kind of varmint...like going into Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine, no joke!
Then up to Henfing's in the redwoods in the Santa Cruz area, where I lived for a couple of years in the early 1980's. Eric Schoenberg hosted a packed concert in his guitar shop on the San Francisco Bay, then up the coast to Humbolt with our man Patrick Cleary, and back down to Mendocino at the Little River Inn. The drive itself was incredible, often going 10 miles an hour winding through more redwoods and switch backs until we finally, dramatically popped out on the banks of the sea. A full moon on the ocean in Mendo kept our pathway lit up bright as we left at five A.M. to make our flight out of San Francisco.
February took us back to the UK for the first "Package" tour I've done, called "The American Festival of the Blues" where we played about 30 big concert halls with names like Carnegie Hall, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, and a surprise on my 40th birthday at the concert in Shrewsbury. Cakes! Champagne! Audience and cast and crew singing "Happy Birthday!" A gift of one of those singing fish plaques, "Tommy the Singing Catfish", not unlike "Billy Bass" (I knew I'd get one someday...). It sang "Do Wah Diddy" and other fish favorites.
This tour was a total blast; usually it's just me and Penny and maybe our dog on driving tours, but this time the show included lefty acoustic bluesman Michael Roach, the wonderful Angela Brown and her Mighty 45's, and, from Houston, Texas, Eugene "Hideaway" Bridges and his band, and myself. We all got along like a house on fire and got to be great buddies and made it a party every night. After awhile, one concert hall seemed eerily like the next as we all wandered around backstage in dressing rooms, down hallways, up stairs, through umpteen doorways...it all did remind me of Spinal Tap after 20 gigs or so...seems we were always looking for something to eat. The tour manager, Danny Townsend got one of those skateboards with handlebars that we were all riding down hallways, ramps, through the audience...Soundguys Kev Bennett and Mikey Atack and Danny and Penny and me spent a sunny day in Brighton, too where they rode the go-karts on Brighton Pier, and Michael Roach was a kind host to us, especially in his adopted hometown of Cheltenham where he showed us the sights.
Back in the USA the tour continued, and I got to play some nice festivals, including the Mississippi Valley Blues Fest in my old hometown of Davenport, Iowa. This is one of the country's finest blues events, and I was made to feel right at home again, hanging out with Paul Geremia (kind of a musical father; he was one of only a handful of touring acoustic blues artists back in the 70's when I started, playing greater than ever and a good friend), Steve Guyger, tasty harmonica man that I first met in England in '92 when he played with the great Chicago bluesman Jimmy Rogers, Paul Osher, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and all the cats. What a blast!
I also got to play the Bowlful of Blues, the Bean Blossom Blues Festival which was in Bill Monroe's hometown of Bean Blossom, Indiana (thanks to John Hall!), the first Reso-Phonic Guitar Weekend "down in the holler" and seemingly back in time again in Mountain View, Arkansas, with Mike Dowling and Robert B. Jones and out to California again in August for the Blues on The Bay Festival in Newport Beach.
Got to the East Coast twice this year, playing in Easton, Connecticut at the Americana Showcase of the Blues, then back for a bunch of dates, playing at Tierney's in Montclair, NJ, Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA, Artwell in Torrington CT, and Inn of the Blues in York Beach, Maine with Harvey Reid's Seacoast Guitar Society. The Inn of the Blues is right on the seacoast, with another big moon on the ocean lighting our way home, where we furiously packed, did laundry, and left the next day to return to the UK for tour #25.
It was a pleasure to return to England, Scotland and Wales for our October/November tour, this time going to Frensham, the Channel Island of Jersey where we stayed with our mates Bob & Thelma Tilling, then Runcorn, Newcastle, Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Glenfarg, Whitby, Wentworth, Bishop's Castle, London, Abertillary, Bangor and winding it up at the International Guitar Festival in Birkenhead. Whew!"
New Solo Album in the works.
Back in the studio again, Catfish Keith is now working on a new solo CD, this time an album of new and vintage original songs, full of acoustic and reso-phonic guitars, singing, sliding, stomping and other surprises.

She wasn't always woman; wife or mother too, but from the age of three, every sign was true. From birth she seemed so worldly. I had a feeling then that she wouldn't need much training and would slide into the role with ease. It's the little things she does that makes her who she is; the little asks, she makes her task to follow through. And does.
She makes it look so easy to overcome a crisis; her loyal strength is clear, she'll hold your hand, she'll take the stand and say this can be done. And win.
As woman and mother this girl is not a stranger, to hard work, grief and trauma; still simple house work must be done. Her friends and family know her, she always serves the best; of time and hospitality, of kindness and respect. In one.
She wasn't always woman, and when she was only three, she showed us from the beginning that her freind, a man would be. Each day an imaginary caller knocked at our door in silence, she asked him in and sat him down; she offered tea and biscuits; they discussed his journey, the time of day, and the weather. The invisable man.
As sure as time flies by and opposites exist; black follows white, day after night, a new born babe emerged. She flew into our lives, her arms were open wide. Oh, hair was dark, sang like a lark, not always when expected. She was different. Her sister tried to mother her, but to no avail, she didn't want protecting, went instead for pain! Again, to judge twas early, but somehow I just knew; she'd be the perfect teenager until her life was through. Still is.
She flew the coop her wings to air, as young as was allowed, to travel all around the world; her search for knowledge, places and new faces stood the test of time. And on return she settled down. But, well it's known by all; that in a cage is not.. please… the place where she belongs. Loves laughter.
So underneath that well toned exterior lies a heart that's gentle, sensitive to lifes hard knocks, preferring to pretend; it's fine, it's cool and I can bend. But she hurts like all the others… she cries when she's alone… she believes that she should change things… fights for what's hers and right….. and lets her children know that her love is very strong. Passionate.
Now! How could that be?…, there's number three, without a valid warning, but warm within that part of me I knew she was all woman. Before her birth, I spent some time imagining how perfect; another little girl to mould, how could I be so blessed! She lay and looked around the room the day that she was born; 'Been here before' the doctor said, as she let out a little sigh. Perfection.
Two sisters waited in the wings, to help, to spoil to nurture. She was carried high above the ground and protected till the age of one. Life had begun!
Her eyes could launch a thousand ships, she followed sisters steps. She grew too fast; when our babe was three she acted more like six. But mouldable she certainly wasn't, watching closely and learning fast she grew into an independant and beautiful young woman who knows that best is best. Always the same.
Often wise beyond her years, dependable and kind, taking life in her stride. Tears today, gone tomorrow, seems to find solutions helping others all along the way. A firm but gentle mother she's turned out to be, strong and calm, teaching right from wrong. A companion and a freind.

Fig. 1 "Large weight in the shape of a bull. The weight is shaped as a crouching zebu ( Bos taurus indicus, ndr) with its legs tucked underneath it and short horns. The body has been delicately modelled, and other notable aspects are the details of the face and the rendering of the neck. On the inside, close to the break, is a rectangular field indicating the weight of 20 deben ( 1 dbn = 91 grammi, ndr) in a bold golden inlay. This means that this bull is the largest metal weight in animal form known to us." XVIII dinastia, piombo, oro e bronzo. Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum di Hildesheim. Immagine da questo sito.
