Q: How can I replace mutex with proper fucntion in using Vivado HLS? Sorry in advance because I am a beginner in Vivado HLS.
In my code in the following, I wanna Synthesis it, but Vivado tells me you cannot use the mutex and whatever dependent and gives me following errors.

A: Thread synchronization can be done in HLS as shown in this paper for example, but it is not supported in Vivado HLS yet.
That being said, it does not mean that it is impossible to implement your application on hardware.  One approach is to implement every thread as a separate hardware kernel.  Shared data can be put in another kernel, which ensures that accesses to the data are synchronized the way that you want.  The kernels can communicate with the shared object via streaming interfaces.  You can implement function parameters as streaming interfaces with hls::stream.  After implementing each of the kernels as an IP module, you can connect them via FIFOs generated with FIFO generator in a Vivado block design.
You could make for example a control stream from each processing kernel to the shared object that allow the kernels to send a request to access the shared object.  In the shared object, you use non-blocking reads from the streams to see whether any of them wants exclusive access.  Then you take write or read requests only from the control stream from the kernel that was granted exclusive access.  The data associated with the reads and writes can be communicated via dedicated data streams between the kernels and shared object.  When a kernel is done using the shared object, it can send a release command, and the shared object starts looking again for requests on all control streams.  It takes a bit of labor, but it is a feasible solution...


It's been a while since I last dived into Mamoru Oshii's filmography, and it seems I have blundered into the worst spot to do so. Assault Girls is apparently a semi-sequel to a variety of short films Oshii made earlier, so perhaps I would better appreciate what it was trying to do if I had already seen those. But the film ought to stand on its own in any case, so I won't be pulling any punches here.
Another of the film's quirks is that it is almost entirely in English, with the unfortunate fact that all the actors, aside from narrator/gamemaster Ian Moore, are not very fluent in English. Rinko Kikuchi (best known to American audiences for Pacific Rim) would undoubtedly have been the best at speaking English intelligibly, so it's pretty sad that her character, Lucifer, is the only one that has no dialog, remaining completely silent throughout the film. As such, much of the English in the film still requires subtitles to understand, and the resulting stiff acting really drags the film down.
Assault Girls follows the Mamoru Oshii tradition of combining evocative visuals with sluggish pacing. As such I'm a bit torn on it, just like most of Oshii's films. This time I'm leaning much more towards boredom than interest, and only partially from the acting. The movie talks a lot about abstract social concepts, dumping a lot of explanation right at the outset. On top of that, the film has a lot of slow sections where nothing much is happening. This is a very good combination for tuning out and losing interest.
This is clearly one of those anime titles that is a reduced form of the original story it was based upon, except that upon further investigation I can't find anything that it was based upon. Now that's pretty bad if it really was this disjointed and incomplete right out of the original design phase. It truly feels as if there is a much larger story to be told, and it just got drastically cut down for a movie adaptation. So many of the plot threads reference backstory that doesn't exist in the film that I have to believe there was a lager story somewhere, even if only in the writer's head.
The film opens with a tall dude with hair shaped slightly like cat ears talking to a blue girl in a hospital bed. It cuts back and forth between his conversation and random girls about town vanishing in a flash of light that leaves smoking craters behind. This is actually a pretty good opening that really got me interested in what was going to happen. Sadly, it never really follows up on that mysterious situation. The rest of the film is mostly filled with the emotional struggles of a teenage girl and the guy she's been in love with since childhood, then a bland fight with a cat monster gets tacked on at the end to wrap things up.
If you've been around this site for a few years, you may recall a film I reviewed a while back called Spring and Chaos. It was a biopic about Kenji Miyazawa, Japan's foremost literary figure. This film is the adaptation of Miyazawa's most famous book, Night on the Galactic Railroad. And these two films have more than a passing connection. Now that I've finally seen Night on the Galactic Railroad, I can see just how strongly it influenced Spring and Chaos. That later film is as much a tribute to this film as it is to Miyazawa himself.
Watching this film also drove home just how indebted the Galaxy Express 999 series is to Miyazawa's original novel, though this film's adaptation of the book came out quite some time after Galaxy Express. In fact, the two titles are nearly identical, with "galaxy express" and "galactic railroad" simply being alternate translations of "ginga tetsudō." Any way you slice it, Miyazawa's little fable has had a massive influence on anime and manga, to say nothing of what it did to Japanese literature.
Don't tell me you're surprised that there's another Project A-ko. You do remember my reviews of the Urusei Yatsura series, don't you? Just 'cuz it's got "final" in the title doesn't mean they stopped there. As with Project A-ko 4, I only have my likely incorrect guesses to go by for why Nishijima, director of the original film, came back to make Project A-ko: Versus. Whether it was intended to revitalize the franchise or if it was only ever intended to be a one-off side story is beyond me, but if it was intended to restart the series it failed. No more official Project A-ko projects were made except the American comic book adaptations and tabletop RPG (yes, A-ko was that popular in the States).
Versus is actually a mini series, not a movie, however it only spans two episodes, "Battle 1: Grey Side" and "Battle 2: Blue Side." Together they tell a single story, so it's easy to cover them both in one review. A-ko: Versus takes place in the distant future where A-ko and B-ko are friends who hunt giant turtles on Tatooine (or whatever the hell they decided to call the planet here), and neither of them have ever met C-ko before. C-ko is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and she gets kidnapped by the series' antagonists, space pirates that want to use C-ko's body to resurrect Xena. No, that time I wasn't pulling out a pop culture reference for ease of comprehension. Xena is a long-dead sorceress that has the power to destroy the universe, so it's a pretty big deal.
I can't say why the filmmakers decided to call it quits at part 4. Perhaps they ran into funding trouble or just ran out of ideas. Maybe it was a case of staff arguing over the direction of the series. Since I've never seen any behind-the-scenes info on the Project A-ko sequels (and probably never will), I can only rely on my own unsubstantiated guesses. For whatever it's worth, I think they realized there wasn't anywhere else for the series to go and wanted to end the franchise gracefully rather than milk it until it became a stale echo of its former glory.
One of the reasons I say this is because Project A-ko 4 is basically a rehash of the first film. It once again mainly involves an alien invasion that interrupts A-ko and B-ko's bickering. In fact, the great feud between the two has become so routine that even the other characters are unfazed by it at this point. The big difference this time is that their teacher, Miss Ayumi, is getting married to Kei, so the fight is over him rather than C-ko. This makes C-ko feel abandoned, and she spends much of the film rather depressed.

Ideologically, it represents the concept that structural components should be made visible. A 2014 article in The Economist noted its unpopularity with the public, observing that a campaign to demolish a building will usually be directed against a Brutalist one. An Introduction To Brutalist Architecture In 10 Buildings. [52], Critics of the style find the style unappealing due to its "cold" appearance, projecting an atmosphere of totalitarianism, as well as the association of the buildings with urban decay due to materials weathering poorly in certain climates and the surfaces being prone to vandalism by graffiti. Once praised, the demolition of these Brutalist style apartments took more than two years to complete due to a resident lawsuit that tried to prevent its destruction. In fact, the term 'Brutalism' is actually derived from the French phrase béton brut, which means raw concrete. Category:Brutalist architecture in Ohio ...

More and more architects have been adopting the traditional concepts of Brutalist architecture to create modern, cool-looking spaces, which prove that concrete can also be beautiful. October, vol. [23][53], At the University of Oregon campus, outrage and vocal distaste for Brutalism led, in part, to the hiring of Christopher Alexander and the initiation of The Oregon Experiment in the late 1970s. [11][7] She further stated "It is our intention in this building to have the structure exposed entirely, without interior finishes wherever practicable. The word "Brutalism," as it relates to architecture, was first used by Swedish architect Hans Asplund, who used it to describe a square brick home known as the Villa Göth in 1949. Mélange d'architecture brutaliste , d'espaces verts aux lignes futuristes et de centres d'art contemporain, elle constitue une halte agréable à deux pas de la capitale. [4] In 2006, several Bostonian architects have called for a rebranding of the style to "Heroic architecture" to distance itself from the negative connotations of the term brutalism.

Brutalism as an architectural philosophy was often associated with a socialist utopian ideology, which tended to be supported by its designers, especially by Alison and Peter Smithson, near the height of the style. "[26], New Brutalism is not only an architectural style; it is also a philosophical approach to architectural design, a striving to create simple, honest, and functional buildings that accommodate their purpose, inhabitants, and location. [16][22][23] The best-known béton brut architecture is the proto-Brutalist work of the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, in particular his 1952 Unité d'habitation in France, the 1953 Secretariat Building (Palace of Assembly) in Chandigarh, India. "The Dezeen guide to Brutalist architecture", "Brutalist architecture - a retrospective", "Brutalist Architecture London | A Guide To Brutalism", "The concrete truth? The University of Minnesota's West Bank campus features several Brutalist buildings, including the performing arts venue, Rarig Center, one of Ralph Rapson's most important works and the best example of Brutalism in the Twin Cities. "[10][11] The Smithsons' Hunstanton School completed in 1954 in Norfolk, and the Sugden House completed in 1955 in Watford, represent the earliest examples of New Brutalism in the United Kingdom. Architects whose work reflects certain aspects of the Brutalist style include Louis Kahn. 4 talking about this. In the Soviet Block, the style persisted in the form of schools, churches, libraries, theatres, and social housing projects due to the cheap materials (steel, glass, brick) used in the construction process. It descended from modernism and was most popular during the 1950s to the mid-70s. An Introduction To Brutalist Architecture In 10 Buildings. [54][failed verification], Anthony Daniels, a British author, physician, and political commentator, has written for City Journal that Brutalist structures represent an artefact of European philosophical totalitarianism, a "spiritual, intellectual, and moral deformity." See more ideas about brutalist architecture, brutalist, newcastle. The world is often divided into those who think that Brutalist buildings are a thing from the past and should be demolished, and those who cherish and treat these buildings like architectural masterpieces. Banham further expanded his thoughts in the 1966 book, The New Brutalism: Ethic or Aesthetic?, to characterise a somewhat recently established cluster of architectural approaches, particularly in Europe. Construction of Crafton Hills College began a year later, and the last building that was part of his original campus plan was completed in 1976.

It is considered a prime representative of the brutalist architecture in Serbia and one of the best of its style built in the 1960s and the 1970s in the world. Cambridge Dictionary +Plus Often characterized by its use of cheap building materials, such as concrete and brick, the Brutalist period would produce some of the most famous architecture around the world. In these climates, the concrete becomes streaked with water stains and sometimes with moss and lichens, and rust stains from the steel reinforcing bars. Brutalist architecture flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, having descended from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. 29 exemples: He has now called me an intellectual brutalist. Tesco Shopping Centre (1962) in Košice, Slovakia; previously known as Obchodný dom Prior. Part of this was due to the detached and dehumanised nature of the buildings, impressions that were often linked to totalitarianism and individual restrictions. Limited edition, monthly wall calendar celebrating awe inspiring Brutalist architecture from around the world. The phrase still 'belonged' to the Smithsons, however, and it was their activities above all others that were giving distinctive qualities to the concept of Brutalism. Press the space key then arrow keys to make a selection. Another characteristic of brutalist architecture style is that building structure and services to their habitats use place in the exterior of the brutalist building. This is the only book to thoroughly document the world's finest examples of Brutalist architecture. Once in London, Goldfinger went on to create some of the city's most iconic and revolutionary Brutalist buildings, including 2 Willow Road, Metro Central Heights, Balfron Tower and Trellick Tower; residential housing was a running theme in his work.

The Andrews Building at the University of Toronto Scarborough was built in a Brutalist architectural style and completed in 1964. Another characteristic of brutalist architecture style is that building structure and services to their habitats use place in the exterior of the brutalist building. Many of the defining aspects of the style have been softened in newer buildings, with concrete façades often being sandblasted to create a stone-like surface, covered in stucco, or composed of patterned, pre-cast elements.

Benefits of a Law Firm to Society What is a firm in the first place as we seek to see the importance of Law Firms. An entity that does business or trade of any kind may well be called a firm. Businesses are purely involved in the provision of goods or services or both goods and services. The owner or owners of the business entity would look forward to generation of income from their practice of business. Law is one of the professional business practices that provide service to their clientele. Herein we have given attention to some of the reasons why we need law firms and the roles that these firms play in our society. The primary objective of any establishment of a law firm is the provision of legal services to the people it seeks to serve. The business practice of any law firm in business is the provision of legal advice and opinion on concerned legal issues. It may exist as a sole proprietorship or a partnership involving more than one person but operating under a common business name. There are some law firms that are specific in their areas of specialization while others may be general all depending on the choice of specialties by the proprietor or owners. Lawyers and Law Firms established by these lawyers provide a number of benefits to human beings. The services offered by law firms are so unique and cannot be given by any other organization or profession as it is of a professional kind thereby making the firms quite an integral part player in our society. Law Firms help in the decoding of legal codes that would remain complex to a lay person with no knowledge of legal interpretation. Ignorance and improper interpretation of the law may lead and cause individuals unnecessary losses and as such these are averted if the the services of a lawyer were sort. This assurance in the backing of an able legal backing gives an individual a sense of security and freedom to engage in their pursuits and transactions. Take an example where liability were to be established in a case of a car accident. A practicing attorney from a Law Firm will assist the victims in the determination of culpability and subsequent payment of damages and all other related costs including insurance compensation.

York project that feeds the homeless gets £1,000 boost
Hoping York Street Kitchen gets £1,000 boost
By Mike Laycock Chief reporter
A CHARITY which provides hot meals to an increasing number of homeless people in York has won a national award and a £1,000 prize.
The money has gone to Hoping York Street Kitchen, which is run by volunteers and is funded entirely by donations from the public.
Founder Kym Brown says it lives hand to mouth and so the £1,000 was 'brilliant for us.'
She said: "It will buy raw ingredients for our casseroles, as well as bedrolls, sleeping bags and vital toiletries. This will see us into winter, guaranteeing meals for a few months, so we are enormously grateful.
"We are still dependent on the wonderful generosity of the public but this is a boost both practically and emotionally. It really does help."
The 'Nation's Choice Award 2019' has come from a UK-based, non-profit travel booking website, www.HotelsThatHelp.co.uk, which says it has no paid staff and no offices, with100 per cent of the money it made being used to help people escape homelessness.
It said Hoping participated in a voting contest and finished first out of 24 homelessness charities from across the UK, after receiving almost 1,000 votes from the local community.
Founder Thomas Nevitt, who will be visiting Hoping York Street Kitchen in September to present the award, said: "I couldn't imagine a more worthy winner. The commitment of these volunteers is truly inspiring."
He said he had seen just how damaging homelessness could be, especially for young families and the national problem had been getting more serious every year.
He said: "Far too many homelessness charities are struggling to cope with increased demand for their services. That's why Hotels That Help was established."

As the holidays near, many families face a growing sense of apprehension.
Although the holidays are meant to be happy, the reality is that this time of year is often stressful, thanks to financial concerns, travel, family dynamics and more. And for those struggling with addiction, the holidays present a slew of other concerns and problems for both the addict and his/her family.
During this time of year, I find myself flooded with memories of my past. Unfortunately for me, the joy and excitement I once had as a child during the holiday season has been replaced by the shame and guilt of my recent past.
During my active addiction, I had the unfortunate privilege of spending Christmas in jail…on two separate occasions. I will never forget the phone call I made to my parents on Christmas Eve to tell them I had been arrested…the disappointment in my father's voice, the strain in my mother's words as she held back tears, my own feelings of being completely and utterly lost.
My parents wanted nothing to do with me. My criminal record was, like me, anything but clean. My future looked so bleak, it was hard to find a reason not to completely give-in to my addiction. I thought my life was over. I felt alone, confused, and hopeless. I was desperate. I wanted out.
As I began detoxing in jail on Christmas day, I was struck by the enormity of the situation I was in. As I lay on the metal bunk shivering with cold sweats from head-to-toe, I distinctly remember imagining the two roads that lay in front of me. I could continue to follow the path I was on – destroying my life and every relationship I held dear. Or, I could choose another path by finding a new way of living, by getting clean and forgetting the people that were holding me back.
Today, as I reflect on this turbulent time in my life, I wonder how I got away with hiding my addiction from my family for so many years. It has to have something to do with the fact that parents want nothing more than to think the best of their children…or at the very least, they don't want to think the worst. As a result, denial and naivety take root and obstruct a parent's ability to see a growing problem clearly and rationally.
My addictive behaviors began in the seventh grade and were cultivated in high school. As a result of my drug use, I became adept at lying. Addiction can teach people to become master manipulators and cunning liars because doing so allows the addict to continue to use.
For addicts, being around family can be rough. The addict is intent on hiding his/her addiction. And the family is intent on turning a blind eye. In addition, for an addict, being surrounded by happy and joyous family members is never an enjoyable experience. While everyone else is busy chatting and sharing stories, the addict is plotting how to sneak off (unnoticed) in order to use drugs or alcohol. While everyone is unwrapping presents, the addict is scheming a plan to turn his or her presents into another bottle or another bag. It's a miserable existence – I know from firsthand experience.
As Thanksgiving approaches, I feel grateful for how far I've come.
I see money as money – I don't immediately convert it into grams and milliliters. I can look forward to graduating from college in a little over a month. I have a healthy mind and a healthy body. I have passions and am able to enjoy them. I have friends who appreciate me for who I am, instead of what I have and what I can do for them. I have a relationship with my family which is by no means perfect, but it is steadily getting better and better.
Jeremy- thanks for your accurate and timely piece. You have a great voice in your writing and use language thoughtfully. I think you're already blending poetry with prose damn well. Happy Every Days now.
What a thoughtful article. Congratulations, Jeremy, on your success battling this terrible disease!
Amazing article, Jeremy! It is beautifully written, the ability you have to merge structured literature with free, flowing poetry is overwhelming and unique, in the best of ways. I always love reading the heartfelt pieces you compose because as I read I am able to feel what you are writing, I get lost in your words. I believe that is what separates any ordinary journalist, blogger, poet, writer, from an extraordinary one, you. Well done!!

Title: The old Israelite community and the rise of the monarchy
Author: McKane, William
http://theses.gla.ac.uk/73946/
The egalitarian instincts of Israel, the emphasis on the rights of the individual, and the loose organisation of corporate life owed something to the background of nomadic existence prior to the settlement in Canaan. Tribalism continued as a factor in the Israelite community after the settlement, and there was the consciousness of a tension between the wider loyalty required by an inter-tribal society, and the old and narrower loyalties focused intensely on tribal prestige, and unable to transcend tribal boundaries. These centrifugal tendencies were counteracted by the functioning of amphictyony as a cement. The organs of amphictyony were the central sanctuary with its covenant cult and covenant law to which all the tribes subscribed. Thereby it was possible to frame such legislation as would, secure the coherence of the wider society and determine the essential characteristics of its corporate life, because the authority of Yahweh, which was behind the operation of the amphictyonic machinery, was acceptable to all. Amphictyony knew of no division between sacred and secular, since it endeavoured to bring the sum total of corporate relationships under the aegis of Yahweh, With the advent of the monarchy the preservation of this unity was no longer possible. Partly this was the to the unwillingness of kings to subordinate themselves to the policies and goals of amphictyony and partly, to the incompatibility between the ideals of amphictyony and the survival of Israel as a nation among the nations. The Icings resolved to organise Israel in accordance with accepted worldly standards of strength and fitness for survival. The emergence of mercenaries may have been partly a consequence of this, although it was also connected with the failure of David and Solomon to retain the sympathy of their people, and the consequent necessity to rule tyrannically through power elements in their personal employ. David and Solomon lost the support and confidence of their people because, in creating a centralised kingdom, they invaded the liberties of the individual Israelite, wounded tribal susceptibilities, and destroyed the corporate values of amphictyony which was ideally a religious brotherhood. Great social and economic equalities were created by the development of trade and commerce. The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few marched with excessive poverty amount the many. In particular the peasant's plot, which was in the gift of Yahweh and inalienable from its ancestral owner, ceased to be the subject of religious demand. Instead it was exposed to the market and treated as an article of commerce, so that the plight of the pleasantly was desperate and a fundamental social sanction subverted. Solomon ruled as an absolute monarch and used his people as means to his own personal ends. They paid for his pretensions to greatness and his attachment to the pattern of oriental monarchy in the grand style in forced labour, crushing taxation and reduced living standards. The Jerusalem cult of the king which flourished under Solomon, was a device to invest his despotism with a Divine Right by declaring him to be a Son of Yahweh, and by asserting that the well-being of the people depended absolutely on his effective fulfillment of his unique mediatorial role. The offices of prophet and priest are grounded in the unity of the araphictyonic community, and both ministered to its wholeness by performing complementary functions. The great debate between the canonical prophets and the cult was directly associated with the effects on the latter of the rise of the monarchy. It was the policy of the monarchy to maintain the fiction of Yahweh's continued sway over the life of His community. The canonical prophets saw that in this the kings wore using Yahweh's cult as a tool for the securing of the own contrary ends, and that, while Yahweh was honoured in the cult, with festival and sacrifice, large sectors of the corporate life of Israel had been wrested from His control, and ordered so as to repudiate the corporate values of amphictyony.

Readings: Intersectional Black Activists
Thursday 8 March 2018, by Alice Ragland
Domestic Worker Organizers, 1960s-1970s
In the mid-to-late 20th century, while the Civil Rights movement was well under way, Black domestic workers spearheaded a movement of their own. Dorothy Bolden, Geraldine Roberts, Josephine Hulett and other African-American household laborers fought for respect, professionalism, and improved working conditions for their profession.
When 1930s New Deal legislation expanded protections for workers, domestic laborers and farmworkers were completely omitted. Since the vast majority of African Americans were employed in these fields at the time, this was an intentional and racist exclusion.
Fed up with their exclusion from workers' protections, domestic labor organizers formed unions and lobbied for the Fair Labor Standards Act, including the federal minimum wage, to be extended to household workers.
The women of the domestic workers' movement also wanted to be able to go to work without being sexually assaulted by the white men in the homes they worked for, and without being forced to do degrading, backbreaking labor for inadequate compensation. They wanted to be treated as professionals, not as "mammies."
In order to meet these goals, the domestic labor activists recruited and organized household workers in public spaces such as bus stops while they waited to be transported to the homes in which they worked.
The household workers' movement faced exclusion from the mainstream labor movement, which deemed them unorganizable. While the white, male factory worker was the archetypal worker represented by the U.S. labor movement, racism and sexism caused domestic labor to be devalued and delegitimized by the mainstream labor movement and by elected officials.
Because more than 80% of working Black women worked in domestic service up until the mid-20th century, Black women were largely excluded from labor organizing. Because of this, the household workers' movement had to fight for their rights on their own.
The movement helped to bring respect and professionalism to the domestic workers' profession. In addition to improving the public perception about domestic workers, their creative organizing tactics have been used as a model for organizing other workers who have been excluded from workers' protections, including service sector, temp workers, and part-time employees. The household workers' organizing methods have had a major impact in the current landscape of labor organizing.

Callie House and Reparations
Callie House fought to secure reparations for former slaves during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. House believed that African Americans had a right to pensions for centuries of unpaid, involuntary labor. She knew that former slaves, who were left with nothing after emancipation and thus faced extreme poverty, would not have such a difficult time surviving if they received a monthly pension.
As assistant secretary of the Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association, House led the movement for reparations and asserted to the Federal Government that it was the right of former slaves to be granted compensation for their forced labor and the legacy of poverty it left for African Americans.
The U.S. federal government, particularly the Post Office, attempted to suppress the pension movement by denying the Ex-Slave Association the use of the mail — the principal way for the association to communicate with its members and to conduct financial transactions.
The government also sent Pension Bureau inspectors to spy on Ex-Slave association meetings, accused the association of fraud, sent letters asking former slaves to report anyone who told them that the pension bill had been passed, and threatened to fine or jail anyone who attempted to make these claims.
The government continued to make false claims against the association, enact harassment policies against it, and deny it the use of the mails. Callie House retaliated against these attacks by writing replies to the letters she received from the Post Office Department decrying the government for the wrongs that it committed against Black people.
She did not back down from their assaults, and eventually was jailed for having been convicted of fraud in the government's attempt to end the pension movement once and for all. Though her imprisonment did quell the association's legislative activities, calls for reparations did not end.
Callie House's fight for ex-slave pensions caused a ripple effect for future demands for reparations. Following her legacy, other movements and activists have called for compensation for the descendants of slaves.
The Black Nationalist movement of the 1920s, the Nation of Islam, Audley "Queen Mother" Moore, the Republic of New Africa, the African American Reparations League, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Whitney Young, and others have made public calls for various forms of reparations.
The debate about reparations has been reenergized by Ta'Nehisi Coates's "A Case for Reparations," which appeared in The Atlantic in June 2014.1 Callie House's activism spearheaded the calls for reparations that still resonate today.

Sojourner Truth: "Ain't I A Woman?"
Sojourner Truth was a renowned abolitionist whose fight for freedom did not cease after emancipation in 1865. Truth's intersecting identities as a Black person, former slave and a woman meant that her freedom was denied in many ways after the end of slavery.
After the Civil War, Truth continued to deliver speeches advocating for African-American rights in general and Black women's rights in particular. Her address at the 1867 American Equal Rights Association Convention highlights her continued struggle for equality and for black women to be considered at all in debates about rights.
The 1867 AERA convention included much deliberation about rights for white women and Black men, but Black women were effectively excluded from the conversation. To point this out, Truth said toward the beginning of her speech, "There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about colored women…" [1]
She went on to discuss the fact that Black women are paid much less for performing the same jobs as men even though they work just as hard. Truth advocated equal pay for equal work long before modern debates about it brought the issue into the national spotlight.
Sojourner Truth also argued for universal suffrage without property qualifications, knowing that poor people, particularly former slaves, would not qualify to vote if property requirements were upheld. She used her platform as an orator and activist to struggle for Black women's freedom, which she knew was a necessary precondition for everyone else to be free.

"Escape: Hell in the Armory," A Terrifying Journey Through SF's Erotic Haunted House, Opens Oct 7th
Adult Business News
Two years after producing the San Francisco's first erotic haunted house, the SF Armory announces that "Escape: Hell in the Armory" will open this Friday, for an entirely new and more terrifying experience.
"This year, we've produced an entirely new kind of horror, where participants will be forced to escape from the darkest recesses of the century-old San Francisco Armory," says Audrey Joseph, Director of Events at SF Armory. "Escape: Hell in the Armory is beyond anything we've done before — a terrifying game of cat and mouse, played out in a truly haunted building."
SF Armory has again partnered with BLACKOUT, producers of "the world's scariest haunted house" (Gizmodo), and participants will be expected to sign a waiver indemnifying the company against personal injury. Those under 18, or with pre-existing medical conditions that might be triggered by the experience, are not permitted. Each person will be given a safe word that allows them to immediately end the tour if it becomes too overwhelming.
Participants in the "Escape: Hell in the Armory" experience are required to attend in groups of two, and be forced to work together to escape the nightmarish scenario unfolding throughout the Armory. Each team will have twenty minutes to find a way out of the hellscape, or suffer eternal damnation — or worse.
"This is not for the faint of heart" says Joseph. "Blackout produces adults only Halloween events that are graphic in every sense of the word. In the past few years, they've learned to really exploit this building in a way that's terrifying. I went last year, but knowing what I know, I'm not so sure I can handle this one."
Tickets for Hell in the Armory start at $45 each, and must be purchased in sets of two:

Jallikattu: Revoke of ban a win-win scenario for Tamils, chance to shine for Panneerselvam
Politics TS Sudhir Jan 20, 2017 14:20:49 IST
Everything that has happened so far indicates that Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu is just a few hours away. The draft emergency ordinance prepared by the law department of the Tamil Nadu government has been sent for vetting and opinion to the Ministry of Law and Justice after which the Ministry of Home Affairs will take a look at it as well. Sources indicate that if the legal brains and the Ministry of Home Affairs clear it and is signed by the president, it will be promulgated by the Tamil Nadu governor on Saturday.
What it means is that jallikattu could well be held in the southern Tamil Nadu districts on Sunday.

The decision to rush through the ordinance and the event over the weekend is also to ensure the animal rights activists will have no time to rush to the Supreme court to try and stop jallikattu from taking place. The activists who will move the court after the ordinance is issued, are resigned to the fact that the event will take place this year. By the time, the court takes it up next week or later, the dust would have settled on jallikattu.
The hitch, however, is that the session of the Tamil Nadu Assembly has already been called for 23 January and whether it is legally tenable for the government to bring in an ordinance just four days before the session. That decision will be taken by the governor of the state.
Whether the ordinance stands legal scrutiny is, of course, another matter altogether. Most legal minds think it will not. But Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi has pointed out that the sport is a state subject and that the state of Tamil Nadu can bring in a legislation allowing jallikattu with reasonable restrictions to prevent cruelty to the bulls.
What the pro-jallikattu groups also want is that the central government should amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (1960), to include jallikattu bulls in the category of trained animals that are used in the military, police, exhibitions, zoos or for educational and scientific purposes. But the prime minister is not inclined to poke his nose into the Jallikattu case till it is disposed of by the Supreme Court.
But the legal angle to the jallikattu row is only one way of looking at it. The issue now is deeply political, which is why in the last 24 hours, there has been a clamour on part of political parties to take a position on jallikattu.
The merits and demerits of the case apart, the Marina Beach protest has been the best news that Chief Minister O Panneerselvam has heard in a long time. The leaderless, spontaneous protest gave him a lifeline that he so badly needed. Otherwise, being asked to quit to make way for VK Sasikala was just a phone call away.
Even if a politically astute Panneerselvam puts up a pretence of giving all the credit to Sasikala for the ordinance, in the common man's mind, he will still be seen as the person who got it done. That will make it difficult for Sasikala to effect a change in leadership at Fort St George, the seat of the Tamil Nadu secretariat.
According to sources, leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are not positively inclined to a Sasikala takeover of the government and would be more than happy with the turn of events. The Panneerselvam government has ensured that things do not worsen on the law and order front despite the fact that there has been no clear leadership in the protesting group. The chief minister also endeared himself to the group of students who met him on day two of the protest by showing them the cowshed and his collection of bulls and cows. He ensured that he came across as a chief minister who identified with the cause of Jallikattu.
In comparison, the opposition DMK exhibited a lack of imagination by resorting to a rail roko protest in Tamil Nadu on Friday. MK Stalin, the newly elected working president of the party, needs to realise that this old world way of protest does not find resonance with the people anymore because it is the public that is put to inconvenience by such gimmicks. The Occupy Marina template has shown that putting public pressure via an apolitical, peaceful and trouble-free protest can move governments.
The PMK also jumped into the fray threatening to organise jallikattu on Republic Day if the Panneerselvam government fails to do anything by 25 January. This attempt to defy the Supreme court ban on jallikattu again is seen as nothing more than trying to win brownie points. The point being missed is that the protesters do not want to flout the law. They want the law to be amended to facilitate the conduct of the sport.
So far, the entire AIADMK leadership has rallied behind Sasikala. If he hits the bull's eye on Sunday, Panneerselvam can be expected to subtly assert himself with New Delhi's backing. The jallikattu standoff could well alter the dynamics of the internal tussle in the AIADMK between Sasikala and Panneerselvam.

There are endless works of engaging nonfiction in library collections for youth. How do help youth develop a passion for informational reading? How do we persuade them to come to the library and check out books?
Read the Introduction to Gotcha Again for Guys! (2010) by Kathleen A. Baxter and Marcia Agness Kochel.
Create your own list of ideas from the semester. IUPUI students can view the article online.
Ghost, aliens, and magic books will get their attention. How about survival guides, beauty and fashion books, and freaky facts almanacs?
Well-known author David Macaulay's new book Toilet: How It Works (2013) will get their attention too. Part of the "How it Works" series, this leveled book encourages both viewing and reading.
Booktalks and book trailers are an effective way to promote the nonfiction collection for youth.
A booktalk is a short presentation, skit, or spoken narrative intended to convince youth to read a book. Generally, the audience is provided with a glimpse of the book's focus. When booktalking a narrative nonfiction, it's important not to give away the ending. The key is providing enough interesting information to make the potential reader ready to choose the book. Booktalks are generally three to seven minutes in length. Book commercials are sometimes 60 to 90 second like a TV spot.
"While it seems the common trend to booktalk novels, we have discovered that nonfiction books are some of the best tools for teaching teens that reading can be addictive and enjoyable. Many authors of teen nonfiction know how to make everyday life seem outlandish and almost too odd to be true. These authors take normal, common truths that we often take for granted and paint them in a new light. Booktalking titles such as The Beast of Chicago by Rick Geary, Things to Do Before You're Old and Boring by Richard Horne or Freaks of the Storm by Randall Cerveny will get every teens' attention"
A book trailer is a video advertisement for a book. Like a booktalk, it's used to promote books and reading. Like a movie trailer, it uses visual and audio elements to convince readers to check out the book. In many cases, it includes still images from the book along with music and narration. Watch videos from Random House such as Magic Tricks from the Tree House intended to entice readers to read both a fiction and nonfiction book. For lots of examples, go to YouTube and search for book trailers.
Explore book trailers for some recent, popular works of nonfiction.
There are many approaches to creating a booktalk or book trailer for youth.
When designing a booktalk, it's critical to think about the needs, interests, and desires of the audience. What will engage a second grader or teen reader?
While some booktalks focus on one work, others explore a genre such as sports books, knitting how-tos, or true crime. For these genre booktalks focus on three or four books that reflect the broad spectrum of options in the area. When focusing on how-tos be sure to show some examples.
First person booktalks are a fun way to attract attention. Dress up as an historical character, scientist, or sports figure. Talk from the point of view of these character. Or, use puppets to act out a passage.
The key to selling the book(s) is eliciting an emotional response. Gross out tweens with facts about phlegm or astonish them with statistics about UFOs. Show them a craft that you produced based on a how-to book or a magic trick you learned. Use costumes and props to bring the topic alive.
Don't forget the book! In your excitement about skits and props, remember to provide information about the book. Read exciting passages, point out amazing facts, and show engaging visuals from the book. Be sure to include information about the organization of the book. While students are accustomed to the story arc of narrative nonfiction and picture books, they may not be familiar with the idea of structuring a book based on the life cycle of a frog or the timeline of an historical event. In some cases books are organized into categories such as air, land, and water transportation.
Make your booktalk or book trailer memorable. Could you wear a costume, use props, or weave in associated background music? Could you turn it into a skit or mystery? Be creative!

Read Wharton, Jennifer (January 18, 2016). Selecting and Promoting Nonfiction in Your Library. Available through SLJ.
Watch some booktalks and book trailers at publisher websites or YouTube. My Collection Development course links to popular Publisher YouTube Channels. Look for the children/teen divisions.
Critique at least three booktalks/booktrailers for youth providing the URL, summary, and review. What works and doesn't work in creating a video booktalk or book trailer? How are fiction and nonfiction treated differently? Create a set of guidelines for producing a video booktalk or book trailer for youth focusing on works of nonfiction. How can you engage readers by going beyond the book (i.e., costumes, props, music, special effects, mystery).
Create your own video booktalk or book trailer for the nonfiction selection of your choice. Or, create a genre booktalk promoting some section of your nonfiction collection.
Your trailer should be engaging. I should want to run to the library to check it out. If you're going to do a traditional "talk at the camera and read an excerpt", choose another option. Instead, this is your chance to be create!
Is your library an inviting place to browse and read? What about your nonfiction section? Does your children's nonfiction area invite wonder and discovery? Do rocks, shells, and other natural objects invite you into the science area? Do old photographs and artifacts greet young historians? Are readers of career books greeted with construction and cowboy hats to wear as they read? Do young adult areas pose questions and provide attractive see-also signage to encourage exploration? Do photos on wall maps and oversized infographics provoke inquiry?
"Our children's lives run the risk of becoming two dimensional in the present day's technology-driven society. The worlds of Internet and video games are becoming just as substantial to children as their reality."
Think about how your library can provide an environment that acknowledges the role of technology, print resources, and real objects in a child's world. Georgia Heard and Jennifer McDonough (2009) had success creating a "Wonder World" filled with questions, opportunities, and resources to support discovery. They suggest discovery tables containing nonfiction books along with items that stimulate observation, manipulation, and exploration. Microscopes, magnifying glasses, and primary source materials need to be part of the library along with books and computers.

Rather than simply pulling all your ant books and stacking them on a table along with a plastic ant, spend time to carefully consider items that would go into an interactive display intended to promote questioning, inquiry, and informational reading. Think about how each book contributes to understanding, provides a different perspective, and attracts different types of readers. Consider manipulatives like artifacts, objects, and other items that youth can handle or observe. What display posters, handouts or other materials would stimulate thinking?
Consider ways that this wonder display could be rotated or changed based on seasons or themes. Could these "sets of materials" be checked out as "wonder backpacks" to families to encourage informational reading?
While girls can sometimes be reluctant readers, experienced teachers and librarians have found boys to be more of a challenge.
Think about ways to market books that appeal to boys. If you add gross to bugs, you get Zombie Makers: True Stories of Nature's Undead (2012) by Rebecca L. Johnson.
In Gotcha for Guys! (2007, xv-xvi), Kathleen A. Baxter identified three ideas for bringing boys back to reading.
"First of all, make the books that they want available to them. Then show off those books! Display them, set them apart, and watch them fly out the doors. If they don't want to read an award winner, let them choose not to. If the book is lower than their reading level, it does not matter. If they want the same book over and over and over again, let them have it. Somehow, most boys have determined that reading is a task, a chore, an assignment. It is now our job to teach them that reading is fun; reading is something pleasurable that we can all enjoy doing.
Finally, let them choose what to read, how long it should be, what reading level it should be, whether to just read the photo captions, and where to read it; accept and allow almost any source of reading materials... Supply graphic nonfiction as well as graphic novels. Make sure you have a selection of reading material that is almost irresistible. Have you ever seen anyone who turned down a chance to browse through The Guinness Book of World Records?"
Think about topics that appeal to youth. For instance, bugs are always a popular topic. Place The Beetle Book (2012) by Steve Jenkins in a display of plastic and rubber bugs. Can readers identify the different types of beetles?
From bookmarks and banners to bulletin boards and posters, there are many tools available for promoting nonfiction reading.
The American Library Association have regular marketing campaigns that often include nonfiction elements. In addition, special days, weeks, or months provide another opportunity to focus on marketing nonfiction. For instance, the smartinvesting@your library program would incorporate nonfiction works.
At the ALA store, you can find reading posters that include nonfiction themes.
The Collaborative Summer Library Program generally focuses on a theme such as space or bugs that are ripe for nonfiction reading. Many public libraries participate in this program.
Other organizations like the School Library Association in the UK also have ideas. Check out their informational posters.
For many more ideas, explore my online course Marketing for Libraries.
When you think about book clubs for teens, informational texts probably aren't on the list. However like other reading club books, you can find lots of nonfiction works for book clubs as well.
Since youth are accustomed to reading stories, start with nonfiction narrative such as Titanic: Voices from the Disaster by Deborah Hopkinson or Into Thin Air: a Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer.
Generate nonfiction book clubs from popular topic such as LEGO building, cooking, or computer games like Minecraft. Rather than traditional book discussions, involve youth in talking about how they connect "how to" books with their creations.
Look for engaging books about people that will connect with teens.
Hennepin County Library suggests biographies for teens such as An Unspeakable Crime: the Prosecution and Persecution of Leo Frank by Elaine Marie Alphin, Janis Joplin: Rise up Singing by Ann Angel, or Med Head: My Knock-down Drag-out Drugged-up Battle with My Brain by James Patterson and Hal Friedman. For other ideas go to the Hennepin County Library.
Connect a book club with a school or community science club. Get out your science experiment books for lots of fun. Ask each participants to choose a different book each week and share their favorite experiment. Each a shared experiment or ask a club member to do a demonstration for the group.
SCIENCE STUNTS: FUN FEATS OF PHYSICS by Jordan Brown introduces key scientists and over two dozen science experiments for intermediate and middle school readers.
The engaging physics activities are organized into seven chapters focusing on gravity, motion, heat, magnets, sound, light, and electricity. What makes this title unique is the way information about scientists and the science behind the stunts is woven into the narrative.
Although the library is already filled with science experiment titles, the unusual approach and visual appeal of this informational text makes it worth the purchase.
This engaging work of nonfiction would be a great addition to your library's STEM collection. The diverse cast of characters adds to the appeal of this useful science resource. Use this book along with other science experiment books to jumpstart a science book club program.
Develop a plan for a nonfiction youth book club. How will you generate interest? What books will you incorporate? Will it be a general group or focused on nonfiction narrative, dieting, or fashion?
Markerspaces are a popular way to involve library users in engaging hands-on activities that involve imagination, creativity, and construction. From Lego stations to crafting areas, the opportunities are endless. Think about ways to connect these fun learning spaces with books and other materials from the nonfiction collection.
While some makerspaces involve crafting materials, others incorporate technology such as laptops for Minecraft competitions and video cameras for creating Lego animations. Get youth involved in making pop-up books, building games, and knitting hats for cancer patients. Books from your collection can provide step-by-step instructions, building ideas, and inspiration.
The photo on the right shows Sharon Rawlins and Corrie Peterson from Trenton Public Library (courtesy of Flickr New Jersey State Library).
"As a result of the first-ever Maker Faire hosted at the White House in June, LEGO Systems, Inc. and the American Library Association's Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) launched the Junior Maker program to bring Junior Maker Spaces to libraries in each state."
You don't need a lot of fancy equipment or materials for a successful program. For instance, combine few Lego Ultimate Building Sets, some Lego building idea books, and mini-loaf cupcakes in the shape of Lego bricks (use mini-marshmallows for the bump) and you've got a winning program.
Below are some book ideas to get you started.

Read Lamb, Annette (2016). Makerspaces in the school library, part 2: collaborations and connections. Teacher Librarian Magazine, 43(3), 56-60.
SCRAPKINS: RE-THUNK by Brian Yanish provides engaging activities and easy to follow directions for creating fun projects from common household materials.
This visually appealing book contains dozens of activities that involve using materials that people often throw away such as empty milk cartons, cereal boxes, and bottle caps. In addition to providing detailed instructions for creating instruments, puppets, and toys, the book also contains lots of other activities to maintain interest and spark creativity.
Librarians will find this nonfiction book to be popular with children who enjoy arts and crafts. Place the book in a maker space containing the raw materials necessary to create some of the projects. Display the results in the library to highlight the arts and crafts section of the library.
Go to the Scrapkins website at http://www.thescrapkins.com/ for lots more ideas.
Whether promoting good eating habits with a children's cooking class or encouraging financial responsibility in a group of teens, there's a wide range of programming opportunities librarians can use to feature works of nonfiction.
Projects don't need to cost lots of money. Combine your existing resources with engaging hands-on activities. Seek out local businesses to donate materials and services. Ask a local banker to discuss opening a bank account with teens or invite a volunteer from the local animal shelter to discuss pet care.
Use a theme to draw in students. For instance, use Scholastic's "A LEGO Adventure in the Real World" book series as inspiration for a series of events that combine LEGO building with fun themes such as planets, knights and castles, and animals.
Your library shelves are filled with wonderful arts and crafts books. Start a knitting, sewing, or Lego club. Use books to kick off activities and promote informational reading.
Explore a Christmas Crafts (Program, Flier) example and the Master Jedi Origami (Program, Flier) example.
Get out the cookbooks and have some fun. Run a series of workshops on baking cookies and cupcakes or making kabobs on the grill.
When you combine books on scrapbooking with family history works, you get a great idea for a program. Get youth involved with a family history project.
Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and more... holiday activities are always fun events for children. Check out a Chinese New Year (Program) example.
Seek help from professional associations in building programs. For instance, ALSC produced a Money as You Grow book list to go with the Money As You Grow website.
From nature walks to night sky parties, many libraries focus on themes associated with nature and the environment.
When building programs, post resources on your library website and print one-page fliers with books and activity ideas. For a health and fitness program, consider the following resources.
Go Out and Play! (2012) from Kaboom!
It's important to keep up with what's popular with youth. Check out a Zombie Invasion Program (Program, Poster) example.
Develop a program for a school or public library that weaves works of nonfiction throughout.

Fyrish Monument
Only registered users can save listings to their favorites
A story of the compassion by a rich man towards the less fortunate, seasoned by an element of vanity, lies behind a structure that dates back to a dark time in the history of the Scottish Highlands.
The Fyrish Monument was built in 1782 in Fyrish near Alness, Easter Ross, on the authorisation of Sir Hector Munro, 8th laird of Novar and a British soldier who served in India and became Commander in Chief of India from 1764-1765. Sir Hector was a native of Fyrish during a period in when local Highlanders were being driven off their land by landlords unable to make a good enough living from poor tenants. The process was known as 'The Clearances.' It was a time in Scottish history when the Highlands of Scotland were hostile and the land too barren to support the production of crops in sufficient quantity or quality. This left crofters and farmers unable to pay their rents and the landlords were not happy.
Violence and hostility amongst the Highlanders was a common practise and some landowners burnt down crofts to force the tenants to move out so they could rent the land for grazing. The Clearances were a consequence of economic change that had a huge impact upon many lives and changed the Highland way of life forever.
Sir Hector showed compassion to his workers by extending the time that it took to build the monument. It is said that he 'ordered' rocks and boulders to be rolled by hand down the hillside one by one to slow the process down.
The design of the monument represents the gate of Negapatam, a port in Madras, which the General had taken for the British in 1781 after returning to India. This is an unusual monument as most are built for a specific reason but the Fyrish Monument appears to have been erected as a personal 'trophy' to Sir Hector by Sir Hector. It is also unusual in the way it was built. It is a natural assumption that anyone paying for labour would want it finished quickly to keep the cost down. However, Sir Hector prolonged the construction work thus having to pay his workers more. Could this have been a 'protest' against the harsh and barbaric treatment dished out to poor crofters by some of his fellow landowners?
That could be a very romantic way of looking at this 'perceived' charitable act. Sir Hector might have had other reasons for wanting to 'prolong' the building work. At the time any relief afforded to the starving and destitute was only provided in return for labour. It was feared that to feed people without them working would promote laziness and the construction of the monument was tasked to the local destitute.
The panoramic views from the monument are spectacular on good clear days making the long walk well worth the effort. This location is for those who love hill and fell walking as it requires stamina but the trail does take visitors along natural pathways. The route is signposted periodically but the terrain is forest and woodland and requires the wearing of purpose made clothing and boots and all the usual precautions should be taken when fell walking including the taking of maps, food and drink.
There is a small car park off the minor road to Boath, where the journey starts by taking the 'Jubilee path' which will lead to the monument.
