The sharp, lyrical, and no-holds-barred autobiography of the iconoclastic writer and musician Richard Hell, charting the childhood, coming of age, and misadventures of an artist in an indelible era of rock and roll...
From an early age, Richard Hell dreamed of running away. His father died when he was seven, and at seventeen he left his mother and sister behind and headed for New York City, place of limitless possibilities. He arrived penniless with the idea of becoming a poet; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk, starting such seminal bands as Television, the Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids—whose song "Blank Generation" remains the defining anthem of the era. Hell was significantly responsible for creating CBGB as punk ground zero; his Voidoids toured notoriously with the Clash, and Malcolm McLaren would credit Hell as inspiration for the Sex Pistols. There were kinetic nights in New York's club demi-monde, descent into drug addiction, and an ever-present yearning for redemption through poetry, music, and art.
"We lived in the suburbs in America in the fifties," Hell writes. "My roots are shallow. I'm a little jealous of people with strong ethnic and cultural roots. Lucky Martin Scorsese or Art Spiegelman or Dave Chappelle. I came from Hopalong Cassidy and Bugs Bunny and first grade at ordinary Maxwell Elementary." How this legendary downtown artist went from a prosaic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York's and London's restless youth cultures—and spawn the careers of not only Hell himself, but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debbie Harry—is just part of the fascinating story Hell tells. With stunning powers of observation, he delves into the details of both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped.
An acutely rendered, unforgettable coming-of-age story, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling, clarity, and piercing intelligence that classic journey: the life of one who comes from the hinterlands into the city in search of art and passion.

"A rueful, battle-scarred, darkly witty observer of his own life and times." - New York Times
"In his poetic memoir, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp, Hell takes us on a tour of a lost world and stakes out his place in cultural history." - Los Angeles Times
"Hell brings to his new autobiography more literary experience than your typical rock memoirist…I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp ultimately celebrates passion, in all its complicated, sometimes dangerous forms." - USA Today
"This valuable book... is not only an absorbing cultural history but also a clear-eyed story that superbly channels the attitude expressed in the first blurt to his best-known song 'Blank Generation': "I was saying let me out of here before I was even born." - Boston Globe
"Mr. Hell has an excellent new memoir, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp, that describes that wild, reckless and important era in downtown Manhattan with candor, wit and reverence." - The Observer
"His book shines its own dirty light. Which means it has lots of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. Pick up I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp, if you want poetry and insight." - Spin
"There are many shivery, illicit pleasures in this louche memoir… Hell was a virtuoso of taste, a critic with a sensibility so fine and unconventional it bordered on its own form of art… weird and singular and superbly self-aware." - BookForum
"Hell is an enthusiastic reporter of the critical artistic crossover of the avant-garde art scene and the world of punk rock... his account rings true and it entertains... a treasure both to those present during gritty, heady '70s NYC and to those not." - Time Out New York (4 Stars)
"Hell brings his searingly honest songwriting style to this candid and page-turning memoir... [Hell's] portrait of the artist searching for himself offers a glimpse into his own genius as well as recreating the hellishness and the excitement of a now long-gone music scene in New York City." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A skilled writer…In recalling the days when love came in spurts, Hell is precise, telling a lot without ever seeming to tell too much. He nails the essence of both scenes and people, from rock peers to exploitative record producers…A deft, lyrical chronicle." - Kirkus Reviews
"Hell is a fine writer and full of self-knowledge, and part of the pleasure of this randy, drug-addled memoir are his descriptions of New York during the bad old days when crime was rampant and the streets filthy. A compelling and entertaining memoir." - Booklist
"[Hell] almost single handedly created 'punk' as we know it.... Few people have been as important--yet as underappreciated as Richard Hell. Poet, musician, fashion icon and terrific, terrific writer. Chances are, you have been deeply influenced by Richard Hell your whole life. You just didn't know it." - Anthony Bourdain
"Richard Hell designed and executed a sustained performance of rock stardom as if he had invented the concept himself. Radically self-aware, he wields prose keen as a diamond knife, sharpened by the light of the moon." - Luc Sante, award winning author of Low Life
"An exquisite snapshot of early punk possibility--that so beautifully captures the exuberance of starting a band!" - Legs McNeil
"Charming and impossible, Hell is the first (and best!) name in punk rock. His insights are informed by the romance of running away to the mystery heard in the rowdy grooves of a dirty LP or in the pages of a thumbed book of verse." - Thurston Moore
"Tramp gave me the same feeling I had as a kid... I cozied up and fell in love with a world that wasn't mine. There are very few books that make me want to start writing my own; this is one of them." - Kathleen Hanna
"Other rock bios are tasteful and cautious — you feel the writer take you to a certain point but then pull back... Hell will take you right there, and that is why this book is an honest and special treat." - Dean Wareham

Leasing is Flexible and Convenient
An equipment lease can be structured in a variety of ways to meet the exact needs of each client. Payments can vary seasonally to match uneven cash flow, they can be tied to specific projects, or "stepped" to increase or decrease over time. Transactions up to $100,000 can be approved on the basis of a simple one-page credit application, usually within hours.
Leasing Frees Up Cash
Leasing provides 100% financing - including items such as shipping, installation, software, and training. There is no need to tie up valuable working capital, making it available for more profitable opportunities like adding sales personnel, increasing marketing or taking advantage of quantity discounts.
Leasing Preserves Bank Lines
Bank lines are designed for short term needs and should be preserved for that purpose. Leasing is like opening an additional and separate line of credit - expanding, as opposed to restricting - your financial resources.
Leasing Offers Better Terms than Banks
Leases do not require substantial down payments or compensating balances, do not have floating interest rates or restrictive covenants, and can usually be structured with lower monthly payments.
Leasing Can Save on Taxes
Since lease payments can be set up as a direct operating expense, they are paid from pre-tax dollars versus after-tax profits. This provides faster write-offs freeing up more cash quickly.
Leasing Helps Keep Your Equipment Current
Leasing facilitates equipment upgrades since there are usually no penalties for the actual upgrade and because a large portion of the investment in the old equipment has already been written off.

Frontier Airlines — The worst customer service ever!
I am a Licensed Real Estate Broker in two states...Wisconsin and Georgia. I am the CEO of both of my companies. I have done lots of flying with Frontier and I am an Early Returns member, and have flown frequently with Frontier within the last year. All you have to do is look up my name and this fact can be proven. My husband and I have been pretty happy with Frontier until this flight! I just wanted to tell you about my experience. I cannot believe that after everyone had boarded the flight because my husband did not have a seat assignment and there were empty seats left over, that the gay flight attendant refused to let my husband and I sit there! First, I want to let you know that when I first got on, someone was occupying my seat! Secondly, I want you to understand that I have nothing against gay people. However, in my experience with dealing with them, some of them are nothing more than "Drama Queens." We had one on this flight for sure. None of the flight attendants would give their names to me because they all knew they were wrong. One of the reasons I couldn't sit in my assigned seat even though it was occupied, (which I didn't mind because I didn't want the window seat anyway...) is because I am claustrophobic- closed in spaces as well as fear of crowds. Frontier crowds people in the hallway during the boarding process which makes things worse for me. So my husband and I always board last no matter what Zone we're in. So, I became ill on the flight as a result of the flight attendants refusing to let me sit in an Aisle seat which there were some seats available that I could sit in. On other flights I've had with Frontier this was never a problem. The reservationist as well as the flight attendants were all rude and disrespectful accept except one. You mean to tell me that I couldn't breathe and they refused to let me sit in an aisle seat? I never had this problem before on any other flight! I never had to ask to be re-seated because of my condition. I would just work through it. Frontier never gave me a reason to make me feel different. The gay flight attendant yelled at both me and my husband and talked down to us like we were dogs. All I can tell you is that the black flight attendant put her hand in my face several times as she was talking to me when I asked for the gay flight attendant's name. I asked her to put her hand down out of my face. She would not. When she wouldn't, I politely moved it out of my face. Again, I couldn't breathe at my assigned seat that all of them made me sit in... I finally buzzed my call light to indicate I had trouble breathing and she had an attitude because she had to call medical personnel on the flight as well as over the phone. She eventually allowed me to sit in an Aisle seat when I became ill. Everyone refused the oxygen that could have made me breathe better. My blood pressure at the first time checked wasn't normal, although the nurse on the flight said it was. It was 144/84 and that isn't normal. I looked it up. This is borderline hypertension. Even though my blood pressure did go down after some time... But, something dreadful could have happened to me. I'm considering seeking legal advice in regards to this incident. I never got an apology from any of them. Just bad looks and disrespect. They refused to listen to me when I told them that I would become ill and when I became ill. Nothing like this should ever be tolerated over an empty seat that wasn't occupied. Lots of airlines don't even have assigned seats! Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know about this experience. There was no reason for the gay flight attendant to yell at me and my husband and demean us in front of a whole plane. The rest of the flight attendants had an attitude for no reason and of course I fired back at the negativity. All of this could have been avoided had they let me sit in an open aisle seat. I understood the upgraded fair if he didn't want us to sit there...exit row...ect. However, there were other seats available that weren't upgrades. When a person tells the staff that they have a disability, whether it is at the beginning, middle or end of a flight it should not matter. I was told that I should have said something in the beginning. At that point, I was still made to sit in my assigned seat even after I explained my disability. As a business owner, if these were my Real Estate Agents that did anything like this to a customer, they would no longer have a job! They refused to acknowledge a customer with disabilities and I will get my doctor's statement to prove it! I don't know what you plan to do about this. All I know is that this shouldn't have ever happened. I pray that this never happens to another customer. I am hoping that you respond to this formal complaint because my next plan of action is to speak to legal counsel as well as the FAA. Even if we talk, I still may move forward. I am still very traumatized by these series of events and so is my husband.

Greek Foreign Ministry Reacts to Albanian Provocation Over Greek Lands
Last Update: 13:26
Greece's foreign ministry on Monday sent a letter of complaint to the Albanian government over a provocative act that challenges Greek lands.
The reason for the foreign ministry was an irredentist act at the central square of Tirana, which was inaugurated during the pre-election period.
Specifically, Mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj, who belongs to the Socialist Party of election winner and current Prime Minister Edi Rama, rebuilt a part of the capital's main square to prepare it for a pre-election rally.
In the part of the square they placed a stone from every part of the Albanian lands, including the Greek town of Filiates naming it "a part of the enslaved Chameria."
Albanian Chams believe that the particular land they call their own was forcibly taken from them by the Greeks of Epirus and deny them the rights of ethnic minorities. They also claim that Greece's Thesprotia region is in fact Cham land and should be returned to Albania.
According to an earlier report in Epiruspost.gr, Deputy Mayor of Tirana Arbjan Mazniku said that the stone from Filiates is put in the square for symbolic reasons and that the square represents all Albanians.
"This is the square of all Albanians, wherever they are, and all Albanian groups are represented in this square. It is our square and we have judged that this is right. Of course there is a stone from Chameria, a stone from Filiates," the deputy mayor said.
"We condemn the placement, in the renovated central square of Tirana, stones coming from various parts of the Balkans, including the Greek area of Filiates," reads the Greek foreign ministry report.
The announcement says that the ministry has informed "friends, partners and international organizations" of the irredentist act, and does so after the election "respecting the electoral process in the neighboring country, and had not issued (earlier) any public announcements that could be misinterpreted and distorted as interference in the pre-election process."

Report: UConn baseball brings back two former players as assistant coaches
Coming off perhaps the most successful season in school history, the UConn baseball team is already making moves for next year.
According to a tweet by Hartford Courant reporter Dom Amore, the Huskies have brought back former players Jeff Hourigan and Josh McDonald as assistant coaches.
Hourigan, a native of Beacon Falls, recently finished his fifth season as assistant coach at the University of New Haven. He played for the Huskies for two years after transferring from Clemson, leading UConn with a .622 slugging percentage and tying for the team lead with 18 doubles and 44 RBIs in his senior year.
McDonald, a Notre Dame-Fairfield graduate, pitched four years at UConn from 2002-2006 (missed 2003). He was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 47th round of the 2001 draft out of high school. Recently, he's been an assistant coach at Long Island University-Brooklyn.

The Human Body as a Temple
The physical organism of man, without question, is the masterpiece of the whole material creation. Even when considered simply as a complex mechanism, apart from mind, it occupies the superlative rank. From the anatomical viewpoint, its grace, proportion and perfect adjustment to environment fill one with wonder. It is also a marvelous demonstration of the principle of cooperation. The office of each organ or member is unique, and its activity is not more for itself than for all the others. Every one is a standing object lesson of altruism and ministry. It takes them all to make a unit. Under normal conditions the part of each, like the various characters in a drama, is promptly and intelligently performed. Such is the beautiful and harmonious human structure when untouched by abnormal conditions.
Technically defined, according to the nomenclature of the animal kingdom, man is a vertebrate, but within closer limits he is a mammal. Still more definitely, he is a primate among mammals, but even this distinction he shares with the apes. But though far superior to them in delicacy, refinement and complexity of functions, the actual structural differences seem not so very important. But evolution has put in some fine work, as instanced by the human hand, which is only a high development of the animal paw.
A comparison of various human qualities with those of the units of the vegetable and animal kingdoms shows that unnumbered flowers have rarer combinations of color and fragrance, and more beautiful contour; trees, greater size, solidity and symmetry; animals, superior speed, endurance and physical power; birds, and even insects, keener senses and instincts, and many other accomplishments, which by material measurement excel man in every direction. Relatively, as a biological product, he is deficient in sight, hearing, smell, taste, feeling and speed, and is subject to a prolonged helpless infancy.
Why then is the human body—though composed of like perishable materials—so intrinsically unlike any other material organism? Because it is a Temple. A temple is a consecrated edifice. Its stone and brick components may be like those of other buildings, but they are set apart for a distinct and different purpose. This makes the body more than an organism. It is a Sanctuary. The light within shines out through every portal. Behold the changing emotional glow upon the countenance, the light of the eye, the ripple of laughter, the thoughtful expression, and we begin to feel the tremendous step between the highest brute and humanity. If the body be a temple, it is or should be consecrated. Said St. Paul in his letter to the Romans: "Nothing is unclean of itself; save to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean." Again, in a similar letter to the Corinthians, he describes the body as "a temple of the Holy Spirit." It is evident that that which consecrates the body is a peculiar quality of thought. While it is highly important to keep the physical organism cleanly—in the ordinary sense of the term—it is clear that consecration means more than a physical process. The term "holy" comes from hal, which means whole or well. In reality, the definition of" Holy Spirit" is the Spirit of Wholeness. It is, then, not only the consecrating influence, but also the essence of perfection and completeness. In no way does it detract from the peculiar sanctity and divinity of the term to restore its original psychological and even therapeutic aspects, and thus conserve its full-orbed and inherent significance. The profound, and even scientific psychology of Paul, has been largely missed or hidden by arbitrary and doctrinal interpretations which have been shaped to fit prevailing systems of thought. Uncolored by these accretive influences, and unbiased by conventional preconceptions, we find that Paul was wonderful, not only in Apostolic religious zeal, but in the degree of his philosophical insight.
Unlike temples made with hands, the sanctuary for the use of man is built from within. The thought and ruling mental pictures of its owner outwardly articulate themselves, not only in its facade, but in the proportion of every architectural detail. The process of consecration or profanation goes on unceasingly by means of the activity of the consciousness. Both are cumulative. If the inherent sacredness of the human temple were constantly felt by the imaging faculty of man, what would become of abnormal outpicturings? There would be no negative from which they could be printed. Then would the office of the fleshy sanctuary be held in high honor. Its aisles and corridors never would be contaminated by the fumes of nicotine, or the unhallowed mastery of stimulants, nor could the deformity of shape which is dictated by Parisian models replace the beauty and symmetry of the divine ideal. Is it not sacrilege to carelessly violate the Higher Law by destroying that perfection of form which is the acme of the Creative Handiwork? How is the beautiful organism of woman sapped of its vitality and marred by the crowding of vital organs into abnormal shapes, until the advent of a child into the world becomes an agonizing and unnatural operation instead of the normal event for which nature has made ample provision! Gracefulness, poise and freedom are transformed into unresponsiveness and rigidity, and the resulting ills which come from hygienic sin are counted as "mysterious dispensations of Providence." Confusion and penalty uniformly wait upon vain attempts to improve upon Mother Nature.
If the human temple be consecrated with clean thought, and high respect be given to its sacred office of soul-expression, it will measurably respond and reflect the honor upon its resident executive. That will be a "blood purifier," by the side of which the most available patent panacea will pale into insignificance. The reflex influence of the pure body upon the man whom it houses will also be harmonizing and helpful. The temple will closely correspond to the service which goes on within. It will faithfully echo back honor or dishonor, clean thought or unclean, harmony or discord, optimism or pessimism.
Whether or not "The Man with a Hoe" be the shaping of "lords and masters" without, the man with the body has that instrument molded by a master from within. The inner man, who wields either implement, determines both its quality and that of the product.

Take your library users beyond Google to trustworthy scholarly resources
Facet Publishing have announced the release of the second edition of Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources by Marie R. Kennedy and Cheryl LaGuardia.
As every frontline librarian knows, if library users really knew and understood how many resources are made available to them online, they wouldn't go to alternative information providers to do their research. Online library systems don't make e-resources very accessible nor does simply making users aware of resources solve the problem given the number of resources available so getting the word out effectively means creating strategic marketing programmes.
Newly expanded and updated, the second edition of Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources demonstrates how to design and implement marketing plans that will help librarians save time, effort, and money while increasing the use of library e-resources. The book includes guides to writing, implementing, assessing, and updating library marketing plans and features case studies from seven academic and public libraries
The authors said,
"Libraries are acquiring enormously valuable and significantly expensive electronic databases for researchers, but those researchers may not even be aware of them. Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources aims to bridge the awareness gap between the library and its user, taking them well beyond the limitations of Google to the heady delights of trustworthy, vetted scholarly resources."

Makerspaces are drawing new users into libraries and engaging them as never before. Edited by technology expert Ellyssa Kroski, The Makerspace Librarian's Sourcebook, is a must-read for any librarian using technology in teaching and learning as well as those considering whether to set up a makerspace, or with one already up and running.
Ellyssa Kroski said,
The Makerspace Librarian's Sourcebook aims to be an essential all-in-one guidebook to the maker realm written specifically for librarians. I hope it will inspire readers through practical projects that they can implement in their libraries right now. The book is jam-packed with instruction and advice from the field's most tech-savvy innovators, and will be well-suited for any librarian seeking to learn about the major topics, tools, and technologies relevant to makerspaces today.

3 things I always ask myself about a new or refurbished library space
This blog post originally appeared on the CILIP website.
I read recently that the judging for the gardens entered into the 2015 Chelsea Flower Show has been modified with the aim of enabling more objective judgements to be made for the various award categories.
There seems to have been a problem previously that these judgements were based on opinions so, as you might expect, a system has been devised that awards points to each of 9 criteria resulting in a number that then determines the award.
Sound familiar? – It's what we always do when faced with something that involves complexity – supposedly making it objective by turning the judgements into a number. We seem to think that numbers mean more than words and that turning our subjective opinions into 'objective' numbers is a way of making the judgement transparent. But great gardens are an act of creativity that exist to provide an experience – as one eminent critic said about the new system 'where is the love and passion in the judgement?"
Like libraries, gardens fundamentally affect us emotionally and any assessment of their worth has inevitably to be about how they make us feel.
Whenever I visit a new or refurbished library I am inevitably asked what I think about it – I never give a simple numerical score. There are 3 perspectives that I usually base my comments on.
What does the building say to me?
The first is prompted by John Ruskin, one of the founding fathers of the Arts and Crafts movement, who is reputed to have said that buildings should not just shelter us but that they should also speak to us. I think this is a powerful idea that can help us to understand a library space.
Asking ourselves what the space says to us and whether there is a clear message, multiple messages, confused messages or none at all is a useful starting point for developing an overall assessment of it.
It is also a useful way for library managers to think about their spaces – what are they intended to say to those that use the library? What we are trying to say with library space reflects our expectations about the way it will be used. It forms the heart of the vision and purpose for the library and provides a baseline to assess, through conversations with our users, whether we are being heard and understood and whether and how space should be modified over time.
Spaces speak to those that use them through environmental factors that give psychological cues such as layout, colour and graphics. In the Saltire Centre we used such cues to make it clear which spaces were for engaging in active group work and which were for solitary quiet study for example. The Library of Birmingham, through its use of colour in particular, speaks of the industrial heritage of the city and the entrance to the recently refurbished Liverpool Central Library has the feel of an ocean liner linking it to the city's shipbuilding past. Is it a place of learning?
Is it a place of learning?
In Better Library and Learning Space I point out that libraries, all libraries, have always been about learning and that this role is of increasing importance in a world where learning is bursting out of classrooms and becoming a lifelong, web-supported activity.
Libraries have an increasingly important role to play as part of the national learning infrastructure. So, secondly, I think about how a space performs as a place of learning. Does it acknowledge the wide variety of forms of learning, the diversity of needs, and the individuality of learners? Does it have the flexibility to change what it provides over time? Does it recognise the embedded nature of technology in learning and allow for its development? Above all is the space designed for learning in all its rich variety?
I think for many libraries this means making use of the architecture that already exists to ensure that the best learning environments can be created. Good examples include the local and family history room at Leeds Central Library that encourages a collaborative exploration of the past, the Mini Theatre at City University Hong Kong and the Li Yuan library in China, which is a library as a place for contemplation.
Does it contribute to its community?
Thirdly, and this really is why a tick box numerical assessment of library space is of little use, how does it respond to the hope, needs and aspirations of the communities it serves? For although there is a consensus on current trends in aspects of design and configuration, what really matters is how a space interprets these trends in the context of its locality.
The way in which the space of the library contributes to its community, its 'local fit', shows how it is responding to its locality. The Hive at Worcester shows how important 'local fit' can be in the success of a library through its integration of services that meet the needs of both the University and the public. In Australia, the vast distances that libraries serve has led to radically different solutions, such as Indigenous Knowledge Centres like the one on Palm Island and the library at Mount Gambier, which focuses on being a place of social gathering and interaction.
These local interpretations of international trends make every library unique, and provide an endless variety of species in the library ecosystem. Developing rich descriptions of the libraries that we have, based on what they say to us, how they support learning and develop their communities, enables us all to learn and develop better library and learning space into the future.
What do you think makes for good library design? What are your favourite examples of good library design? Let us know in the comments.

(Un)Happy Teachers' Day
In today's education system, the focus is entirely on pupils. Nobody pays any attention to the wellbeing of teachers
Had Dr. Radhakrishnan been alive, he would not have celebrated his birthday today. He would have been aghast seeing the plight of teachers. Wishing all the teachers of the country a 'Not so happy teachers' day'! The pious occupation of being a teacher is witnessing its record low. Of late, it is the teachers who are at the receiving end of this downfall.
The recent incident of a female school teacher beheaded by a class 10 student in Jharkhand came as a shocker to the entire teaching community. He not only beheaded the teacher but also ran around the village with her severed head in his hand for hours. It is the most heinous crime ever done to malign the sanctity of the pious pursuit of teaching and learning. From last few months, institutions of learning, particularly schools, have been in news for all the wrong reasons. A teacher is subjected to everything from abuses to stabbing and even getting shot by pupils.
Despite being the most vulnerable victims, the authorities put the blame on the teachers. This year, many private schools and National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) have decided to observe a black day on September 5 to protest the arrest of support staff and Principals of private schools. There are numerous cases where schools are soft-targeted by parents and government agencies. The private school association of Uttar Pradesh has decided to demonstrate their protest by tying a black strip on their hands. This is probably the first time in Independent India where teachers in such large numbers are openly out with their objections.
The parent-teacher solidarity is at its all-time low. Of late, it has become a norm to blame the school and teachers for the wrong-doings of a child. Parents are not willing to take responsibility for their neglect. The entire teaching fraternity is living under a constant threat of being blamed for none of their actions. Any misconduct by the child is bound to fall on the school and teachers. This growing culture of rebuttal from parents has kept the schools on the back foot. It has been seen that the schools are no longer enjoying a healthy parent-teacher association. Gaining a written consent for everything, as low as taking them to laboratories as well as music and dance classes, from parents have become a standardised operational procedure for schools these days which was otherwise considered a part of their normal routine. The element of trust has almost been wiped out from the institutions. What are we teaching our kids? We are forgetting the fact that we are creating future humans without emotions by these actions of ours.
In today's education system, the entire focus is on pupils, nobody is paying any attention to the wellbeing of teachers. The Human Resource policies for teachers are weakest among all. The infrastructural hurdles in government schools and salary constraints of private schools are unaddressed. While there are still a significant number of government schools which lack basic facilities like drinking water and toilet, there are private schools that do not even offer a chair to teachers in the classroom. Both private and government schools (excluding a few elite ones) face a staff crunch and the existing staff is burdened with additional work. Private schools have no fixed remuneration policy for teachers - it is as low as two thousand rupees per month. With these challenges to face every day, a teacher is the most abandoned employee in the white-collar segment.
Almost all the laws are child-centric and a teacher is left with no option but to prove his own innocence. The latest example of a 92-year-old retired teacher being booked under false charges of POCSO is an eye-opener. The entire reputation earned after decades of service is maligned overnight. It is anticipated that these laws might also meet their fate like the Dowry Prohibition Act which is widely misused.
The need of the hour is to constitute an autonomous body, under the Constitution, to uphold and safeguard the rights of millions of teachers who are always regarded as nation builders. There should be a uniform wage system for teachers so that the sanctity of the institutions of learning is preserved. The occupation of a teacher should be made open to all the intellectuals across domains so that the quality of education delivered is improved. Affiliation laws should also keep a vigil on the 'hire and fire' policy of school owners. The government should implement the recommendations of Subramanian Committee. An Indian Education Service should be established as an all India service with officers being on a permanent settlement to the state governments but with the cadre controlling authority vesting with the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry. The outlay on education should be raised to at least 6 per cent of GDP without further loss of time. Compulsory licensing or certification for teachers in government and private schools should be made mandatory, with provision for renewal every 10 years based on independent external testing.
If the glory of teachers keeps on deteriorating, the time is not far away when we will see meaningless institutions producing human beings without any intellect, emotion, and vision. Dr. Radhakrishnan had aptly said, "It is not God that is worshipped but the authority that claims to speak in his name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not the violation of integrity."

Subsea engineering, construction and installation company, Subsea 7, has successfully used acoustic and inertial navigation technologies from Sonardyne International Ltd. during a project to install flowlines, risers and subsea structures at a major new deep water field development in the Gulf of Mexico, due to commence production in 2016.
Subsea 7 saves time using Sonardyne's acoustic and inertial navigation technologies for the installation of subsea structures at a new deep water oil field in the Gulf of Mexico
To meet the complex positioning requirements of the project, Fred Goodloe III, Project Surveyor for Subsea 7 worked closely with Sonardyne's in-house Survey Support Group (SSG) to determine the optimum configuration of subsea, ROV and vessel-based equipment. For a low-risk, multi-functional and cost-effective solution, a combined acoustic and aided-inertial navigation approach was adopted comprised of Fusion 6G LBL (Long BaseLine) and SPRINT inertial navigation technologies.
For the installation of the flowlines and structures, a high precision seabed array of Sonardyne Compatt 6 transponders was deployed. The SSG assisted Subsea 7 in designing the array, optimizing array geometry and modeling acoustic ray bending paths to ensure the design produced a robust array that met the stringent positioning tolerances required and offered sufficient redundancy in acoustic observations.
The work identified that the quantity of transponders needed for the project could be reduced through the use of Sonardyne's inertial navigation sensor, SPRINT, installed on the survey team's ROV which was being used for touchdown monitoring. SPRINT makes optimal use of acoustic aiding data from acoustic USBL and LBL positioning systems and other sensors such as Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and pressure sensors to improve position accuracy, precision reliability and integrity for subsea vehicles.
The use of SPRINT by Subsea 7 during the project allowed a tightly coupled range aided solution to be derived whilst the decrease in the quantity of Compatts, meant that there was a reduction in vessel time required for the installation, calibration and recovery of the array.
John Brader, Survey Manager for Subsea 7 said, "The positive results we've seen during this project and also previously during our work on the NaKika field, have demonstrated SPRINT is able to extend the operating limits of our vessels' USBL tracking systems and improve the operational efficiency of LBL without compromising positioning integrity. The planning work we carried out with Sonardyne's SSG team ahead of mobilizing for the job meant that when we arrived on location, we were able to get straight to work."
Commenting on the success of the operation to date, Mark Chiddy, Sales Manager for Sonardyne Inc. stated, "We're delighted that SPRINT has met Subsea 7's expectations for performance and operational cost savings. Acoustically-aided INS, whether it is being used alongside USBL or LBL, is now trusted by our clients as a viable method of supporting a wide variety of subsea construction and survey operations."

If any contemporary author deserves to wear the mantel of Jane Austen, it's Goodman, whose subtle, astute social comedies perfectly capture the quirks of human nature. This dazzling novel is Austen updated for the dot-com era, played out between 1999 and 2001 among a group of brilliant risk takers and truth seekers.
Still in her 20s, Emily Bach is the CEO of Veritech, a Web-based data-storage startup in trendy Berkeley. Her boyfriend, charismatic Jonathan Tilghman, is in a race to catch up at his data-security company, ISIS, in Cambridge, Mass. Emily is low-key, pragmatic, kind, serene—the polar opposite of her beloved younger sister, Jess, a crazed postgrad who works at an antiquarian bookstore owned by a retired Microsoft millionaire. When Emily confides her company's new secret project to Jonathan as a proof of her love, the stage is set for issues of loyalty and trust, greed, and the allure of power. What is actually valuable, Goodman's characters ponder: a company's stock, a person's promise, a forest of redwoods, a collection of rare cookbooks?
Goodman creates a bubble of suspense as both Veritech and ISIS issue IPOs, career paths collide, social values clash, ironies multiply, and misjudgments threaten to destroy romantic desire. Enjoyable and satisfying, this is Goodman's ( Intuition ) most robust, fully realized and trenchantly meaningful work yet.
My take: 3 looks
While this was a very entertaining and compelling book, it was in no way like a Jane Austen novel. For a reviewer to state such is unfair to the author. I liked the characters and the story, but found a bit too much going on at times, and several rabbit chases that left me unfulfilled. They story was heavy on Judaism, which was a bit confusing to me. It didn't seem to be a vital part of the story, but merely a fact (albeit important fact) of Gillian's past. Her daughters discovered the secret, each dealing with it in her own way, but that part of the story came too late in the book to explore or pursue. The fact that they were related to the family living behind their father was a little too tidy, or a little too creepy, for me to believe.
And what happened to Orion? Did he and Sorel just ride off into the sunset? What became of Molly? Did she continue to live in their apartment and become a doctor? Did she, too, become disenfranchised with her path and change it completely? Did Leon finally save the trees?
These are the reasons I give three stars instead of four. I will, however, read more by this author.

A tradition was started last year; that of going for a camping trip in spring. I have to admit that I was never a camping fan, in fact I had never camped while in Malta. Why spend a night sleeping in an uncomfortable sleeping bag when home is just 10 minutes away? But being on mainland Europe changes that fact. I'm not the girliest of girls but the lack of electricity, comfortable beds and proper bathrooms wasn't really something intriguing. What I discovered though is that at the camping site we were going to have electricity and there were proper common bathrooms. With this extra information I decided to join the fun.
This year we headed to the Belgian Ardennes which is a region of extensive forests and hills in Belgium, Luxembourg and also stretching to France. We planned to join some activities organised in the area. For the first time in my life I went abseiling and I actually managed to go calmly down a little cliff without any major panic attacks. This wasn't all though. We also went zip-lining across the valley. I thought my arms were going to detach myself and my legs were shaky afterward but the adrenaline rush was great!
But what I liked best from these activities was canoeing down the river. The river was mostly calm and shallow however the current was moving us quickly. At some point my brother-in-law capsized. We all had a laugh at him, seeing that he capsized in the same spot a couple of years back. By this point I thought I was an expert until I saw a tree getting closer to me. Yes, you've guessed right, I also capsized and to add to the injury to my self esteem, my canoe went on by itself downstream! Luckily my man and some other random guy managed to get my canoe back and I continued paddling in my very wet clothes!
The long weekend came quickly and my opinion was changed. Camping can indeed be fun.
The moral of this story is that everyone should try out things that look scary, since most probably they're a hell lot of fun as well!

Info for We Are Not Your Kind
Slipknot's sixth studio album, produced by the band themselves and Greg Fidelman. 'We Are Not Your Kind' follows Slipknot's blistering 2014 LP, '.5: The Gray Chapter', which debuted in the top 5 in the official album charts of 19 countries around the world, including the U.S. (#1), Japan (#1), Australia (#1), Russia (#1), UK (#2) and Germany (#2).
"Meaty riffs, expertly orchestrated songwriting skills, arena-championing choruses, and delicate experimentation with metal nuances – this is Slipknot, and this is undoubtedly a Slipknot record. If you want We Are Not Your Kind to be heavy, you got it – but there's far more craftsmanship hidden beneath the distortion." (Dylan Tuck, theskinny.co.uk)
"Ultimately, We Are Not Your Kind is the most experimental record Slipknot have made in their entire career. Born out of lawsuits, inner band turmoil and lineup changes, this album challenges and rewards listeners, while still pushing the very definition of who Slipknot are as a band. It will leave you breathless, it will make you want to punch the world in the face and when it's all over, you'll just want to start the album all over again." (wallofsoundau.com)
Produced by Greg Fidelman

Notre Dame
- Paris and the world were shocked to see Notre Dame in flames Monday, though its structure apparently has survived. The centuries-old cathedral is much more than an iconic tourist destination, according to Illinois history professors Carol Symes and Tamara Chaplin. They spoke with News Bureau social sciences editor Craig Chamberlain.

Residents of Gaskiya Road, Amukoko, Lagos have condemned the demolition exercise being carried out in the area, saying they were not given prior notice and that the bulldozers exceeded the points measured for demolition. The demolition was part of the ongoing road expansion project of the state government in the area.
Some of the affected residents who spoke to Saturday Vanguard bemoaned the situation which they termed 'brutal and unexpected', saying before they could bat an eyelid, caterpillars roared into the vicinity, clearing houses in the area, and displacing most residents without compensation.
One of the residents, Kola, said the demolition has left his family homeless. "Our grievance is that when the bulldozers came, they went about the exercise with such brutality that they exceeded the demarcation. My wife and children are outside because my shop and house were affected. They never came to inform us that they would be demolishing the place or informed us about any compensation. Even the popular Gaskiya College was affected"
On her part, another resident Tawa said the situation has left her hopeless. 'The fact is that they had already marked the place to be demolished a day before. But when they came, it was as if they were under a spell to destroy everything.They went beyond the place they marked. Look at me, my house and shop were destroyed. Do they want me to become a harlot? Last night, I wept because I couldn't find a place to sleep. They exceeded the initial measurement; this is not fair. They didn't consider us."
Elizabeth, a shop owner in the area said they weren't informed, "They didn't inform us that they were coming. They came, made some measure-ments, but when the caterpillars came, they exceeded the mark. They concentrated more on this side of the road and we didn't have time to gather our valuables.We weren't given any form of compensation".
Another shop owner, Haruna described the demolition as unexpected. "We just saw this people demolishing houses from Ijora and when they got to this place, they made some measurements and marked the extent of demolition. But when they came, the bulldozers exceeded the point and all our pleas fell on deaf ears. They just told us that they were doing their jobs and working according to instructions. They came without prior notice. We knew that houses were being demolished at Ijora, but we didn't know they'll get here. I was surprised when they got to this place."

Urs Gasser asks: Is the emerging field of AI ethics and governance ready for empirical research?
Research on a new tech helps people to, first, understand the varied relations others might have to the technology, and second, build awareness by spotlighting the technology and calling attention to its implications. Therefore, at least certain forms of empirical research aimed at informing the discussion about the ethical uses and emerging forms of governance of AI is possible and desirable. Some plans are already underway.

Brightwater BayWeb Design
Our team took a deep dive into the redesign of BrightWater Bay's new website! Their old site had a lot of great information, but it wasn't presented intuitively. By getting back to the basics, we delivered BrightWater Bay a hardworking website that naturally pushes potential customers through the sales funnel.
Services Provided WordPress CMS | Mobile & Tablet Compatible Web Design | Custom Web Development | Copywriting | SEO | Website Hosting
Project Details
BrightWater Bay is a private lake resort located a few minutes from downtown Wichita, Kan. The client's goal was to book more weddings and corporate events, but their old website didn't reflect that. The focus was on watersports and the organization of their reservation options and how to book them was cumbersome.
First, our team reworked the site's navigation based on research and industry best practices. Then, we overhauled the content, focusing on SEO and strong calls-to-action on each page. One of the key new website features is a custom scheduling tool that allows visitors to make their own reservations. Previously, making reservations used to be a manual process and how to book varied between offerings. Now, using their site is as breezy as sitting out by the bay.

Smell from malfunctioning motorized shopping cart caused evacuation at Walmart
The Evening Sun freelance photographer Harrison Jones was riding along with fire crews on Saturday night when units were dispatched to a house fire in Penn Township.
Crews were dispatched Tuesday to Walmart at 495 Eisenhower Drive for an odor of gas, according to York County 911.
According to Hanover Area Fire and Rescue Captain Geoff Miller, there was a report of a natural gas leak, but it turned out to be the smell of a malfunctioning battery on a motorized shopping cart.
The store was evacuated as a precaution, but at about 10:40 a.m., customers and employees were given the OK to return to the building.
