\section{Introduction}
Many physical effects in modern solid state physics are a manifestation of quantum interference. These effect, therefore, rely on the preservation of coherence of quantum states. Quantum dots embedded in an Aharonov-Bohm ring are ideal for studying coherent effects in solid state nano-structures \cite{Yacoby1995,Zaffalon:2008gb,Hatano:2011bn}. Shallow dopants in silicon have recently gained much interest because of their extremely long spin coherence times \cite{Steger:2012ev} and the reproducible confining potential \cite{Kane1998,Morton:2011vp}. For the same reasons that make them interesting for quantum device applications, single dopants are ideal to act as a flexible model system to investigate fundamental open problems in correlated systems in the solid state \cite{Lansbergen:2010bn,Tettamanzi:2012gr}. Here, we study a system of two dopants which are coherently coupled to contacts in a parallel configuration, thereby forming and an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer in a similar way to quantum dots embedded in a ring. We observe a peculiar type of Kondo effect mediating the interactions in the Coulomb-blockade regime of this system. And clarify this Kondo effect with a phenomenological model. \par
The system studied here consists of two arsenic donors in a field effect transistor that are coupled to leads in a parallel configuration, see Figure \ref{fig1}. This geometry allows for the tuning of the phase acquired by electrons as they traverse the structure. Changing the net magnetic flux threading the loop enclosed by the two conduction paths changes the acquired phase through the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. In a previous publication we showed that this device exhibits phase-coherent transport in the sequential tunneling regime, evidenced by the presence of a Fano resonance \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}. Here, new data of the same device in the Kondo regime is presented and it is shown that the Kondo effect can be coherently modulated. \par
By studying the magnetic-field dependence of the Kondo transport, we link the phase modulation to the parallel arrangement of the donors. In a broader context, this system allows to study the rich behavior of occurrences of universal physical phenomena such as the Kondo effect \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk}, the Aharonov-Bohm effect \cite{Aharonov1959} and the Fano effect \cite{Miroshnichenko:2010ew} in a mesoscopic system. \par

The device is fabricated on top of silicon dioxide (orange). b) In the channel region, below the gate, two arsenic donors in different corners of the channel (labeled D$_1$ and D$_2$) are coupled in parallel to the source and drain contacts. This arrangement is similar to an Aharonov-Bohm ring with a localized state in each arm. An applied magnetic field, $B$, induces a magnetic flux piercing through the loop enclosed by the conduction paths. Voltages are applied to source, $V_{s}$, and gate, $V_{g}$, while the drain current, $I_{d}$, is measured.}

\section{Few-donor transport}
Single dopant transport spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool to study properties of dopants in nano-structures, e.g. \cite{Sellier2006,Tan:2010gi,Pierre:2010iu,Fuechsle:2012hx,Roche:2012gb}. Here, we use three-dimensional field effect transistors (FinFETs) with dopants embedded in the channel of the device as a platform for our experiments \cite{Sellier2006,Lansbergen2008,Pierre:2010iu}. Even though the channel is nominally only doped with boron, we occasionally find arsenic donors that have diffused into the p-type channel. We cannot control position of these dopants in the channel and, therefore, we rely on chance to find a dopant at a certain positions in the channel. The particular device we study here consists of two coupled dopants that dominate the sub-threshold transport, see Figure \ref{fig1}. All presented data has been obtained from a device which has a channel height of 60 nm, a gate length of 60 nm and channel width of 60 nm. Due to the strongly enhanced band-bending in the corner of the channel, close to the gate interface, the donors that show up in the sub-threshold transport are located in one of the corners of the channel \cite{Sellier:2007tb,Lansbergen2008}. The total cross-section of these corner channels is typically about 4 nm$^2$, as measured by thermally activated transport \cite{Sellier:2007tb}. Given the effective inter-donor distance of a few tens of nanometers, inferred from sequential tunneling data \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}, it is likely that the two donors in our device are located in different corners, allowing for a magnetic flux to pierce through the area enclosed by the conduction paths. This scenario is consistent with both the magnetic field dependence of the observed Fano resonance, and the Kondo effect, as we will show below. Thus, it is really due to the corner effect that we are able to perform transport spectroscopy on few-donor systems with a relatively large inter-donor separation at low temperature  ($\lesssim4$ K). \par
Transport spectroscopy on coupled dopants has been report in several systems. Evidence of dopant molecules was observed in the magnetic field dependent current in resonant tunneling diodes \cite{Geim:1994jy}. Embedded in a transistor, a small number of gated coupled donors were found to result in time-dependent fluctuations in the current which were attributed to multi-electron tunneling events \cite{Kuznetsov:1996fv}. Fano resonances, caused by closely spaced coupled dopants, were observed in a Schottky barrier metal oxide semiconductor FET \cite{Calvet:2011ht}. Direct resonant tunneling was recently observed in a pair of phosphorus donors \cite{Roche:2012gb}. In this work we demonstrate that, co-existing with interference in the sequential tunneling regime \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}, the current in the Coulomb blockade regime of a pair of coupled donors is showing interference due to many-body effects. \par
We measure the DC differential conductance $G=\textrm{d}I/\textrm{d}V_{{sd}}$ as a function of magnetic field, $B$, gate voltage $V_{g}$ and source/drain bias voltage, $V_{sd}$. Figure \ref{fig2}a shows a conductance trace close to zeros source/drain bias voltage. Two arrows indicate the position of the observed Fano resonances. Since the signal from the D$^0_{(1)}$ Fano resonance is very weak, we focus on the D$^-_{(1)}$. The hallmarks of single donor transport are a large charging energy and odd/even spin filling of the donors \cite{Sellier2006}; both have been observed in the device presented here. We perform all measurements at 0.3 K and $V_{sd} = 50\,\mu$V except when explicitly mentioned otherwise. In this article we focus on the physics governing the transport when both donors in the device are nominally occupied by one electron (near the circles in Figure \ref{fig2}b) and on the Fano resonance labeled D$^-_{(1)}$ in Figure \ref{fig2}. \par
\section{Aharanov-Bohm effect in the Kondo regime}
In the Coulomb-blockade region, where both donors are occupied by a single electron, we observe considerable zero-bias conductance, see Figure \ref{fig2}b. This is unlikely due to thermal effects, since the charging energy of the donors is large compared to the thermal energy $k_{B}T$ at the experimental temperature, i.e. $U/2k_{B}T\approx 500$. Zero-bias conductance is one of the characteristics of the spin-1/2 Kondo effect in single donors \cite{Lansbergen:2010bn} and quantum dots \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk,Cronenwett:1998wc}. To see if this is indeed the cause of the conductance in the Coulomb blockade region, we investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the conductance at a gate voltage of $V_{g}=485$ mV and $V_{g}=480$ mV respectively, see Figure \ref{fig2}a and b. For the Kondo effect in quantum dots the conductance increases logarithmically as the temperature is $\lesssim T_{K}$ and saturates at a zero-temperature maximum as the temperature $\ll T_{K}$, where $T_{K}$ is the Kondo temperature. Figure \ref{fig3}b shows a fit of a phenomenological scaling relation \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk} to the temperature dependent data which describes this behavior. The Kondo temperature resulting from this fit is $T_{K}=(12\pm5)$ K, a value that justifies that we use an effective zero-temperature model to analyze the conductance later on. Figure \ref{fig3}c shows a plot of the measured differential conductance as a function of source/drain bias voltage and magnetic field. Since the transport processes in the Kondo regime involve spin-flip tunneling transitions, a gap $\sim2g\mu_{{B}}B$ wide (with $g=2$ for silicon), centered at zero bias, is expected to open \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk,Meir1993}. This is indeed what we observe in the data, see Figure \ref{fig3}c. At a gate voltage of $V_{g}=490$ mV) we plot the Kondo conductance as a function of magnetic field and show that the Kondo effect (zero bias conductance) is quenched and a gap open as the magnetic field increases, see also the corresponding trace in Figure \ref{fig3}a. This has been recognized as one of the hallmarks of a Kondo effect in similar systems \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk}. \par
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\center
\includegraphics[width=120mm]{donor_transport.pdf}
\caption{a) The conductance at low source/drain voltage ($V_{sd} = 50\,\mu$V) shows four resonances due to the D$^0$ and D$^-$ states of two donors, (1) and (2), \cite{Lansbergen:2011eu}. Fano resonances result from the interference of the resonance channels induced by donor (1) and an approximatly continuum channel, labeled D$^0_{{(1)}}$ and D$^-_{{(1)}}$ (see main text). b) A differential conductance charge stability diagram shows that there is considerable conductance around zero source/drain voltage between the resonances labeled D$^0_{{(2)}}$ and D$^-_{{(1)}}$, which we attribute to a Kondo effect. As a guide to the eye the dotted lines that are labeled in the same way as in panel a) denote the resonances as finite bias. The black circles denote the gate voltages where the temperature dependence and magnetic field dependence of the transport have been investigated.}
\label{fig2}
\end{figure}
There is, however, a discrepancy between our data and a simple single impurity spin-Kondo effect, which we believe is due to the magnetic field dependence of the phase, which is carried by electrons and tuned through the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Figure \ref{fig3}a shows that the zero-bias conductance unexpectedly increases with increasing field and subsequently decreases again, exhibiting a maximum at $B\sim7.7$ T. We find that this effect persists throughout the Coulomb-blockade region and the position of the maximum is almost independent of gate voltage. A possible explanation is that the Kondo tunneling processes are constructively interfering at this particular magnetic field and therefore cause an enhancement of the conductance. In the next section we investigate this idea further. \par
\section{Results and discussion}
In a Aharonov-Bohm interferometer the transport phase acquired by electrons traversing the structure contains a flux-dependent component in addition to a (constant) geometric phase \cite{Yacoby1995,Kobayashi:2002cq}. From transport measurements in the sequential tunneling regime we infer that the donors in this device are separated by a few tens of nanometers \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}, schematically depicted in Figure \ref{fig1}b. As mentioned before, this geometry is effectively a parallel configuration where a finite magnetic flux can pierce the area enclosed by the conduction paths and thus tunes the relative phase of the electrons by the Aharonov-Bohm effect \cite{Aharonov1959}. Depending on the total effective area enclosed by the conduction paths at a given magnetic field, electrons tunneling via one of the donors acquire a different phase compared to electrons tunneling via the other donor. By changing the magnetic field this phase can be tuned. As we will argue below, this magnetic field dependent phase affects not only electrons tunneling sequentially, which are effectively non-interacting, but also correlated electrons in the Coulomb blockade regime. \par
\subsection{Sequential transport in relation to the Kondo effect}
The effect of the magnetic field dependent phase due to the AB effect shows up in the a symmetry change of the D$^-_{(1)}$ resonance (Figure \ref{fig2}a) with a Fano line shape in gate voltage as a function of magnetic field. In the sequential transport regime, the interference of transport channels induced by the two donors, (1) and (2), causes this Fano interference effect \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}. The transport channels involved in this case are resonant sequential transport around the degeneracy point of the D$^0_{(1)}$ and D$^-_{(1)}$ (labeled D$^-_{(1)}$ in Figure \ref{fig2}) and a non-resonant channel (with a slow phase variation) generated by donor (2).
We have determined, for the same device, that the period associated with this form of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is $B_{AB}\sim6.5$T \cite{Verduijn:2010ch}. We will show that this is consistent with the observed interference effect in the Kondo regime. \par
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\center
\includegraphics[width=120mm]{kondo_data.pdf}
\caption{The Kondo conductance is measured in the Coulomb-blockade region at several gate voltages as a function of magnetic field, temperature and source/drain bias voltage. a) At $\sim6$ T a clear upturn, with a maximum at $\sim7.7$ T, of the conductance as the magnetic field increases is visible. This is attributed to constructive interference of Kondo channels induced through both dopants, see also the discussion in Section 4. b) The temperature dependence of the Kondo conductance at $V_{g}=485$ mV. A fit of a semi-empirical spin-1/2 Kondo model for $T<5$ K has been performed, with the scaling parameter left free (red line) \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vk}. This fit results in a Kondo temperature of 12 K and scaling parameter $0.23\pm0.1$, consistent with a spin-1/2 Kondo effect. c) The Kondo conductance as a function of magnetic field and source/drain bias voltage at $V_{g}=490$ mV. A zero-bias gap, characteristic for a Kondo effect, opens when a magnetic field is applied.}
\label{fig3}
\end{figure}
Now, we turn back to the data in the Coulomb-blockade region shown in Figure \ref{fig3}a. These data show a change in the conductance as a function of magnetic field, very similar to conventional AB oscillations in mesoscopic systems \cite{Yacoby1995,VanderWiel:2000uw}, the main difference being that the magnitude decreases with magnetic field. In the conventional AB effect, as observed in mesoscopic rings, the interference alternates between constructive and destructive as the field is swept, depending on the magnetic field dependent phase picked up as electrons traverse the circumference of a loop. In our experiment, however, the continuum conduction paths are formed by spin-Kondo channels in both arms. This would explain why the amplitude of the oscillation decreases with magnetic field since the spin Kondo transport is quenched when a magnetic field is applied \cite{GoldhaberGordon:1998vd}. Note that a transport channel, connecting source and drain, and interfering with the donor-induced channel is not consistent with the observed gate-voltage current characteristics. Such a parallel channel would result in a monotonous background that increases with gate voltage, which we do not observe in the data in Figure \ref{fig2}. Instead, the sub-threshold conductance in dominated by sequential tunneling resonances with Coulomb blockade valleys between them. Another mechanism, which could potentially enhance the conductance in the Kondo regime at finite field, is the crossing of spin singlet and triplet states at finite magnetic field \cite{VanderWiel:2000uw}. This possibility can also be ruled out since this would also be visible as a kink in the shift of the Coulomb-blockade peaks \cite{Weis:1993ey} which we do not observe for the magnetic field range covered in our experiment, $B<10$ T. To further quantify the proposed double-donor induced Kondo effect, we develop a model in the next section. \par
\subsection{Interfering Kondo channels}
Taking a phenomenological approach, we derive an analytical expression for the Kondo conductance using a slave-boson mean-field approximation within a scattering matrix formalism. Assuming that both donors are fully in the Kondo regime and neglecting inter-donor Coulomb interaction, an expression for the magnetic-field dependent conductance can be derived. The assumption of vanishing inter-donor Coulomb interaction is supported by the fact that at large source/drain bias voltage (not shown here), where the donor resonances cross, we do not observe a significant shift of the respective resonances \cite{Pierre:2010iu}. Therefore, the zero-field Kondo effect can be modeled, for each donor independently, as a single resonance at the Fermi energy at zero temperature, i.e. $T\ll T_{K}$, as can be seen in Figure \ref{fig2}b. The latter assumption is confirmed by slave-boson mean-field calculations we have performed for parameters similar to the experimental conditions. \par
To develop a model, we construct a tight-binding Hamiltonian of the two-donor system coupled to contacts, Eq.~(\ref{eq:hamiltonian}). The two arsenic atoms (labeled by $j=1$ and $j=2$) are both represented by single energy level ($\epsilon_j$) quantum dots with an intra-Coulomb interaction ($U_j$), and with $t_j$ the tunneling amplitude to the source ($s$) and drain ($d$) contacts. The contacts are taken as non-interacting reservoirs described by the Hamiltonian $H_{sd}$. The hamiltonian of the complete system is given by:
\begin{eqnarray}
H&=&H_{sd}+\!\!\!\!\!\sum_{j=1,2;\sigma}\!\!\!(\epsilon_j+\sigma\Delta_Z)n_{j,\sigma}+\!\!\!\sum_{j=1,2}\!U_jn_{j\uparrow}n_{j\downarrow} \nonumber \\
&-&\!\!\!\sum_{j=1,2;\sigma}\!\!\!t_{j}\left(e^{i\eta_j\frac{\phi}{4}}|s,\sigma\rangle\langle j,\sigma|+e^{-i\eta_j\frac{\phi}{4}}|d,\sigma\rangle\langle j,\sigma|+h.c.\right).
\label{eq:hamiltonian}
\end{eqnarray}
Here $|s,\sigma\rangle$ and $|d,\sigma\rangle$ are (non-interacting) states in the source and drain contacts respectively (eigenfunctions of $H_{sd}$), $|j,\sigma\rangle$ are the states of the $j^{th}$ donor, ``h.c.'' denotes the hermitian conjugate of the first two terms in the last sum. The number operator, $n_{j,\sigma}$, `measures' the occupation of the $j^{th}$ donor. The effect of the magnetic field is incorporated through the AB phase $\phi=2\pi B/B_{AB}$ picked up during tunneling where $B_{AB}\approx6.5$T and a shift of the resonance away from the Fermi energy by the Zeeman energy $\sigma\Delta_Z=g\mu_{B}B$ ($\sigma=\pm1$) for up spins ($\uparrow$) and down spins ($\downarrow$) \cite{Meir1993,Dong:2001kr}. The parameters $\eta_1=1$ and $\eta_2=-1$ account for the sign difference in the AB phase for different tunneling directions to each of the two donors \cite{Yacoby1995}. We then apply a slave-boson mean field approximation which simplifies our system to a non-interacting Hamiltonian \cite{Dong:2001kr}. The effect of Coulomb interactions is account for by the renormalization of the donors energy levels and their corresponding tunneling rates, denoted with a tilde (e.g. $\tilde{\Gamma_1}$) in the following, as is customary in the framework of slave-boson mean-field approaches \cite{Dong:2001kr}. Using a scattering matrix formalism \cite{Orellana:2006ix} we obtain the following expression for the magnetic field dependent conductance:
\begin{equation}
G(B)=G_{0}\frac{\tilde{\Gamma}_1^2+\tilde{\Gamma}_2^2+2\tilde{\Gamma}_1\tilde{\Gamma}_2\cos(\phi)}{\tilde{\Gamma}_1^2+\tilde{\Gamma}_2^2+\Delta_Z^2+2\tilde{\Gamma}_1\tilde{\Gamma}_2\cos^2(\phi/2)+\tilde{\Gamma}^2_1\tilde{\Gamma}^2_2\sin^4(\phi/2)/\Delta_Z^2}
\label{eq:abkondo}
\end{equation}
with $\tilde{\Gamma}_{1,2}$ the tunnel coupling of the donors to the leads and $G_0$ is the conductance at zero magnetic zero-field. Figure \ref{fig4}a shows a plot of the calculated zero-bias conductance (Eq.~\ref{eq:abkondo}) as a function of magnetic field. In the limit where $\tilde{\Gamma}_{1}=\tilde{\Gamma}_{2}$ and $\Delta_Z\rightarrow \tilde{\epsilon}$, with $\tilde{\epsilon}$ the detuning of the level with respect to the Fermi energy and zero Zeeman shift, this expression is identical to the expression obtained by Lop\'ez {\it et al.} \cite{Lopez:2005cv}. Using parameters similar to the ones in the experiment \cite{KondoGraph}, we obtain a curve that is qualitatively the same as the Kondo data in Figure \ref{fig3}a. Figure \ref{fig4}b shows an example of two second-order tunneling processes that are taken into account in the model. As an electron tunnels on or off a donor, it picks up a phase $\phi^\prime$ (or -$\phi^\prime$) due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect. \par
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\center
\includegraphics[width=120mm]{ab_kondo_model.pdf}
\caption{ a) The modeled Kondo conductance as a function of magnetic field in the Coulomb blockade region, see Eq.~(\ref{eq:abkondo}) in the main text. On the top axis the corresponding AB phase using a period of 6.5 T is given. The non-monotonic behavior resembles the data in Figure \ref{fig2}a quite closely. b) Two donors are located in the channel of the device and connected to contacts in a parallel arrangement. For simplicity we consider only Kondo tunneling processes via the D$^0$ state. For the example shown, first the localized electron tunnels out to the drain (labeled ``A'') and then an electron tunnels onto the donor from the source (labeled ``B''). The phase due to a finite magnetic field picked up in tunneling, $\phi^\prime$, has the opposite sign for donor (1), in green, and donor (2), in blue.}
\label{fig4}
\end{figure}
Comparing the data in Figure \ref{fig3}a and the model in Figure \ref{fig4}a, we notice that at low magnetic field the conductance is less strongly quenched in the experimental data as compared to the theory. This can be understood by the fact that the shift of the Kondo resonances away from zero bias is not exactly twice the Zeeman energy as is assumed for the model. The shift is known to be slightly smaller at fields below the Kondo temperature (i.e. $B<k_{B}T_{K}/g\mu_{B}$) due to correlation effects \cite{Dong:2001kr}. The qualitative agreement with this model, describing the magnetic field dependence, makes us confident that the conductance enhancement at $\sim7.7$ T is indeed the result of the constructive interference of Kondo channels mediated by two donors. Since the enhancement of the Kondo conductance is observed on a similar magnetic field scale as the modulation of the Fano resonance, both effects are most likely caused by the same pair of donors. Furthermore, even though we cannot independently determine whether both donors are actually in the Kondo regime, the agreement between the model and the data indicates that this is indeed the case. \par
\subsection{Phase coherence}
The modulation of the Kondo conductance by the magnetic field through the Aharonov-Bohm effect is a clear experimental proof that the phase is preserved in this system. Our experiment demonstrates that the Aharonov-Bohm can effect persists, even though the phase is carried by a many-body Kondo state in each arm of the system. The role of the Kondo effect is to provide coherent transport channels despite the fact that the sequential transport is completely strongly suppressed due to Coulomb blockade. Since the presence of the AB oscillations are a consequence of the many-body Kondo states being delocalized over both arms into the contacts, there could be a spin-spin interaction present in that region and induce correlations between localized spins \cite{Craig:2004kx,Vavilov:2005bk,Heersche:2006bn}. An interesting open question is whether these kind of interactions are useful in the context of the development of a scalable quantum computer architecture \cite{Bedkihal:2012jg,Tu:2012jm}. \par
Recently demonstrated placement of single donor atoms with atomic precision should allow to fabricate lattices of dopants \cite{Fuechsle:2012hx,Schofield:2003kr}. Using a gate, each donor atom can be tuned such that it holds a single electron at low temperature. Such a structure could, for example, be used to study the formation of exotic collective spin states at low temperature \cite{Aynajian:2012fp,Park:2012go}. This work demonstrates the tunable properties of coupled donors and suggests that they can be used to build a testbed system to study correlation effects. \par
\section{Conclusion}
In conclusion, we present experimental data of an Aharonov-Bohm effect for two donors in a parallel geometry between the source and drain contacts in the regime where transport is mediated by a donor-induced Kondo effect. The Aharonov-Bohm phase is carried by the many-body Kondo states in both arms of the interferometer. This observation is consistent with the phase modulation observed in the sequential transport regime of the same device. A phenomenological model for the Kondo conductance versus magnetic field confirms this by reproducing qualitatively the same trend of the conductance versus magnetic field as the data. These results contribute to the understanding of a system in which the advantageous properties of single donors can be used to create a testbed system to study correlation effects in artificial lattices.

Q: What inspired your new album?
SB: It's an album of sacred songs, and chants from ancient texts. Each one has a positive message and is recorded in the original Persian or Arabic. The songs on my album "One with the Beloved" are mostly original compositions and others are my versions of traditional Sufi Mantras and folk songs.
Q: How did your upbringing influence this album?
SB: I grew up in Britain in an Iranian refugee household. We spoke Farsi at home (Persian) My parents had lost virtually everything in Iran. It was humbling to experience being an outsider and to learn the importance of compassion and friendship at a young age from certain English friends we had who were kind to us. I went to the US to go to college after getting my GCSE.
Iranians revere figures like Rumi (a 13th century philosopher and poet), whose texts are the main inspiration for the lyrics used in my album. Rumi himself was a refugee who had a revelation which transformed his creativity. I resonate with Rumi's journey and his wisdom is timeless and universal to me. Leonard Cohen and Coldplay are among the most well known musical artists who have been inspired by his messages, yet his name seems to fall into obscurity. I am hoping to change that through my new album.
Q: Can you explain more about your vision of unity over separation?
SB: Whenever there is political violence that may hold a person in dread or despair that you pause before judgement and consider that this is a desperate act and not how people normally are. Of course some will say that is already happening, but is it really sinking into our consciousness that Islam, Middle Easterners or people of faith in general are not a danger? When people make these claims, they are attacking every person of faith and rather than to debate which side is wrong or right, I wanted to make a contribution showing the world that there is a universalist message from within a faith, which is wrongly associated with violence.
We in the West are urgently lacking when it comes to reversing stereotypes in a meaningful way about civilisations that we have been at odds with. Policies of alienation and adversity are outdated and are not working as they stand. We need to start focusing on humanising and not ostracising those we cannot understand—and engaging from that place. That means calling on imagery, figures in history, literature and artistic expressions that can help us regain a more complete picture of those who have been our so called "enemies". If we can do it in a way that is relatable, then I believe, lives can change as well as perspectives.
I believe everyone can relate to a figure like Rumi because of the tremendous appeal of his writings and it's no accident that he is experiencing a resurgence today at a time when our relationship with the Middle East is at its most chaotic. We need more of his voice.
Q: What measures do you feel people could take to try to overcome the current worldwide barriers of political mistrust?
SB: I could say what everybody else says: "vote" "be engaged civically" and "write to your elected Rep" and generally I would respond in such a way, BUT the truth is we've had colossal failures when it comes to our policies concerning the Middle East.
When it comes to something like our relationship with Iran for example (and I worked in Washington on this issue) there is a lack of reliable information and it creates this sense of desolation no matter what we do or where we turn. Historically, when our institutions are gridlocked, it's up to the grassroots to get involved and to come up with alternative ways of pursuing the positive change that we urgently need. That's not practical or easy when there is a large distance and gap in cultural awareness.
Music and the Arts are powerful tools in rebuilding that human bridge. Their potential is untapped here, and if we can make these tools accessible and personal, if we can trace the relationships between societal wounds and the wounds and fears within each person's individual consciousness that exists, then there is hope, and I believe Rumi would approve.
Q: What is Sound Healing and how did you first come across this?
It's a holistic modality that involves vibration and frequency (not just music) and it can have positive effects on the consciousness and the physiology. I learned about the cellular research that Fabien Maman was doing on blood cells and their response to sound vibration and was inspired to become a practitioner. I went on train at Fabien's Tama-Do Academy of Sound, Color and Movement and became certified as a sound therapist in 2011, two years after leaving my career in Washington DC.
Q:You have worked in the past with many major businesses such as Google to provide their teams with Sound Healing and Talks. How did this come about and what has been the feedback and positive impact of these?
SB: I had someone who took a workshop with me in Bali who worked at Google. They invited my to their offices and I did a presentation for them in Singapore and had a great response. I have also done corporate events in Bali and shared about my personal journey to retreats and private groups as well as giving a demonstration of the deeply relaxing effects of the different instruments I play.
DC Strategist Turned Sound Therapist Launches Bold Music Campaign
Former Capitol Hill coalition strategist on US-Iran policy Shervin Boloorian embarks on an unconventional project of reconciliation between the Middle East and West through the power of music.
Boloorian, now a top certified sound therapist in Bali, launched a cross-cultural music project centred around his new album of sacred songs, with some wisdom from world-revered 13th century Sufi poet Rumi, all in original Persian and Arabic languages.
Guided by other music activism campaigns such as Live AID, and the Free Mandela concerts in the 1980s, Boloorian wants this project to raise awareness and start a positive wave of interest in Middle East and Western commonalities through music that he says goes beyond entertainment.
"Music and the arts are agents of change and education, we haven't seen them reach their full potential yet because our focus today is on light entertainment."
Boloorian's new album, 'One with the Beloved' is currently being crowdfunded with the goal of leveraging its songs to support live music workshops, community forums and other engagement activities.
The first song from the album, 'Baza' received praise by renowned dance music DJs Timo Maas and Nick Warren who both gave the track a 5 star reviews.
"'A beautiful, delicate piece of music."
"…this is a brilliant song, full of emotions and very well arranged…Perfect for chill out/" read some of the online reviews.
The Sufi-inspired compositions vary in tempo and style; some recorded with meditative instruments used in Boloorian's popular sacred sound concerts, and others with upbeat rhythms found in Sufi Zikr music.
Endorsed by leading Bali cultural and holistic community leaders, the project is also backed by world Rumi authority, bestselling translator and author of "The Essential Rumi" Coleman Barks.
British disarmament expert and British American Security Information Council head Paul Ingram is still part of the peace and security community Boloorian belonged to during his time in the US.
Ingram is a firm supporter of Boloorian's unconventional new solution to repairing relations and start a positive dialogue between Middle Eastern and Western culture.
"There are many hundreds of thousands of people working explicitly for peace by addressing the symptoms of fear and conflict," said Ingram.
"Shervin's initiative to bring these together explicitly recognises a fundamental truth, that to work for peace you have to have peace in your heart."
Prior to his days as recording music artist and sound therapist, Boloorian spent over nine years in Washington and Sacramento, leading and advising US-Iran peace coalitions, briefing elected officials, and reviewing a major coalition Iran policy brief sent to President Obama's desk.
He worked with a number of congressional, non-profit and community leaders, Nobel Prize Laureates and ambassadors as an advocate for disarmament and avoiding war with Iran.
In recent years Boloorian U-turned away from his career as a peace policy strategist to become recognised as Asia's premier "Tama-Do" sound therapist.
He spearheaded a movement in 2012 to incorporate sound therapy as part of Ubud's live music culture and established the acclaimed Bali Sound Healers Collective.
This new project is particularly close to Boloorian's heart, due to his past as an Iranian refugee migrating to the UK in 1978.
He first realised the magical healing power of sound as a child upon discovering the ability to hum to himself as a method of providing comfort and emotional support during this highly traumatic and stressful period in his young life.
"I was three when I left Iran and joined the many millions without a home nation," said Boloorian.
"It's a devastating experience and the story of the album is a reflection of my own journey, going from a very alienated and troubled place to one of inner calm," said the Iranian-born vocalist.
After nearly a decade of working on policy reform, Boloorian decided it was time to leave DC and reconnect with the power of sound as a professional, becoming a certified sound therapist, musician and vocalist.
"I became a sound therapist because I realised peace was more about bringing soulful living back, not just some distant ideal," he said.
Rumi is noted as the top selling poet author in the USA and is respected across the West and the Muslim world with his works translating into 23 different languages.
Boloorian explained Rumi's voice easily crosses faith, nationality and ideology.
"Rumi's popularity is surging just when the world's relationship with the Islam and the Middle East seems at its lowest point. I see this as a paradox and an opportunity," he said.
"I felt strongly that a sacred music project drawing from Sufi texts in Rumi's original language creates something new for people to think about in terms of Iran, Islam and the Middle East."
The sound therapist plans to incorporate story-telling and theatre events, forums for dialogue and collaborations between local musicians and those from migrant or refugee backgrounds in cities right across the world to follow a global tour.
"If the momentum is there, I see this as blossoming into a global collaborative," predicts Boloorian.
"I'm urging international community and cultural groups, organisations, businesses and community figures to become a part of our project and to help assist us in whatever way they can.
We need help to push the Kickstarter over the finish line in the final weeks and help share the message that music can be a healing force," he added.
The crowdfunding campaign concludes on July 25, 2017 with the 'One with the Beloved' tour beginning in August following the album's scheduled release in September; with Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Italy, Spain, Germany and Holland already listed as destinations to be followed by dates for Asia, Australia and the US.
As a global ambassador for sound healing and motivating peace activity, Boloorian and his project have already been widely endorsed by many respected cultural groups, after appearing at some of the worlds most prominent wellness festivals and events including: MURFEST Wellness Festival (MAL), Byron Spirit Festival (AUS) , BaliSpirit Festival (INDO), Berlin Healing Arts Festival (GER) and , Talks at Google (SIN)
"Anyone who spends his time tackling the huge divide the world is currently experiencing with music and the teachings of Rumi is worth supporting," said founder and director of the Ubud Readers and Writers Festival Janet De Neefe.
"Now more than ever we need to focus on the fundamental importance of peace and compassion to find a solution to our current global dilemma.
Shervin Boloorian's music offers an extraordinary, healing journey with mystical sounds, both traditional and new".

Craftsman hand tools. They are US made and have a life-time warranty. If they ever break you just carry one into a Sears somewhere and can get it replaced for free.
But not the cordless power tools. They change up the battery configuration every few years so new batteries won't fit the old tools.
I'd like to hear about everyone's ideas too. I'm on a kick right now where I don't want to buy it if it's not made out of durable, recyclable materials. Obviously not the easiest standards to fulfill!
I have a set of furniture that is at least 70 years old. It ain't pretty but it's still standing. I debate whether it's worth refinishing and repairing. I seriously doubt it's going to be worth much as an antique.
A friend of mine has exactly two different grades of furniture in his house. Dirt cheap (oftentimes self made) so he loses almost nothing when it breaks, and expensive, so he doesn't have to worry about it breaking.
I have a cat and I early on decided to try not to be a no-no-no person with my new roomie, so she gets to sharpen her claws on the couch. It was a bargain to start with and when it begins to look shabby, I'll get another bargain couch.
Anvils, they can take a pounding.
Diesel engine cars can last 400,000 miles if taken care of. Depending on your driving, that could be a lifetime.

The Subject Examination in Principles of Microeconomics covers material usually taught in a one-semester undergraduate course in the principles of microeconomics. This aspect of economics deals with the principles of economics that apply to the behavior of groups, organizations, and individuals within the larger economic system. Questions on the exam require candidates to apply analytic techniques to hypothetical situations and to analyze and evaluate government policies on the basis of simple theoretical models. The exam emphasizes analytical capabilities rather than a factual understanding of United States institutions and policies.
The exam consists of approximately 80 multiple-choice questions to be answered in two separately timed 45-minute sections.

In Distribution Groups and maximum recipients per message, we looked at how the maximum recipients per message settings are treated differently by Exchange Server 2010/2007 and Exchange 2003/2000 when sending to Distribution Groups.
Message size limits are an important mechanism to control mailbox sizes, guarantee service availability, and protect from potential DOS attacks. Another commonly asked question is about message size limits and the inability to send messages that are apparently within the maximum sizes configured. Let's take a look at the message size settings in different places in Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007.
Unlike Exchange SMTP Virtual Servers in Exchange Server 2003/2000, Exchange 2007's Receive Connectors are only used to receive messages. The maximum message size limit can be different on different Receive Connectors on a Hub Transport or Edge Transport server. For example, a Receive Connector for inbound Internet mail may have lower message size limits, but you may want to allow larger messages on Receive Connector for authenticated senders or partners.
Server Configuration | Hub Transport | select a Hub Transport server | Receive Connectors -> select a connector | Properties | General tab.
What's a Unique Binding for a Receive Connector?
Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007's definition of a unique binding for a Receive Connector is different than Exchange 2003/2000.
Whereas the latter considers a unique combination of an IP address + TCP port number as a unique binding, and does not allow another SMTP Virtual Server to be bound to the same combination of IP address + port number, Exchange 2010/2007 view a combination of IP address + port number + RemoteIPRanges as unique. This allows you to create a Receive Connector using the same IP address + port number, but using different RemoteIPRanges to specify the remote hosts that can connect to it. For example, you can create a Receive Connector for a set of remote hosts and specify a different message size to allow those hosts to send larger messages, or to restrict them to smaller messages.
Send Connectors are used for sending outbound messages to the internet or particular address spaces (domains). Edge Transport servers also have a Send Connector to send inbound messages to Hub Transport servers in an AD Site. To modify the maximum message size on Send Connectors, select Organization Configuration | Hub Transport | Send Connectors -> select connector | Properties |General tab.


Are Wolf Protection "Kid Cages" Necessary?
When I was growing up in Wisconsin, I would hear occasional rumors of kids in the Northwoods having to worry about wolves as they "waited for the school bus." Why they would have to fret only Monday through Friday at a specific time of day always baffled me. There were never any actual news stories of children being attacked, of course, and such warnings became state folklore more than anything else. Most of Wisconsin's early European settlers were of Scandinavian and German descent, and it stands to reason that they would bring their bogeymen with them and plant their seeds in the soil here. Such tales could also have been started by deer hunters, who, it seems, are perpetually convinced that having wolves in the state means less deer for them to hunt.
Recently, however, I heard an even more astounding story coming out of New Mexico. In that state, "kid cages" have been built to keep children safe from wolf attacks as they, too, "wait for the school bus." Is such a precaution based in facts, or is it yet another move to demonize wolves?
In rural Reserve, New Mexico, children routinely wait for school buses inside boxy, chicken-coop-like, wood-and-mesh structures. These "kid cages," as they are called, are specifically meant to provide protection from wolves.
When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently proposed to cover about 75 Mexican gray wolves in New Mexico and Arizona under the Endangered Species Act—making it illegal to kill this subspecies of the gray wolf and expand the area where these wolves can roam safely—a long-simmering political debate came to a head. Conservative groups, which say that wolves pose a threat to humans and livestock, contend that the government is overreaching its authority. Wolf defenders, on the other hand, cite the fact that no wolf attacks have ever been documented in New Mexico or Arizona and call the kid cages a political stunt.
According to Dr. Daniel MacNulty, an assistant professor of wildlife ecology at Utah State University who's been studying wolves in Yellowstone National Park for 18 years, the probability of a wolf hurting someone is close to zero. A child in a rural area is more likely to be injured or killed in a hunting accident or in an encounter with an off-road, all-terrain vehicle or feral dog. There are very few instances in North America of wolves harming anyone, let alone children.
In addition, states MacNulty, Mexican gray wolves weigh just 60 to 80 pounds, in contrast with Yellowstone wolves, which can be upwards of 130 pounds. For that reason, Mexican gray wolves are selective about what they kill, usually targeting only small, juvenile livestock. Even with adult prey, they mainly kill the older animals.
Researchers also point out that wolves in Yellowstone often run away when spotted in the field. Mexican gray wolves are generally even more leery of people, livestock and wild prey. And while it's true that a pack of wolves is more likely to be bold than an individual, they don't all contribute equally to the hunt when, for example, 10 show up. Only about four of them actually do anything; the rest are there to be on hand when a kill is made.
As most of us know who have been fortunate enough to encounter wolves in the wild, it is a thrilling, safe experience. Because humans generally intimidate wild wolves, being able to observe their behavior—even for a short time—is a rare event.
And here in Wisconsin, it's becoming more uncommon all the time.
Do you think the construction of "kid cages" in New Mexico is an overreaction to the presence of wolves, or merely a precaution worth investing in to ensure children's safety?
Perhaps a cage that keeps kids away from television and electronic gizmos would have a higher benefit/cost ratio.
Between New Mexico and Arizona, there are a mere 75 wolves that live in expansive wilderness areas. The natural behavior of wolves is to shy away from humans. There have been no registered attacks on humans, as far as I know. "Kid Cages" represent negative propaganda meant to stop the repopulation of the Lobo its native habitats. However, hunters and ranchers want wolves GONE forever. These anti-wolf zealots have also equated wolf reintroduction to government overreach and want to make a statement by delisting them from ESA protections, confining their range and permanently destroy the reputation of wolves in general. No, "Kid Cages" are nothing less than a scare tactic and a sham.
There was a serious project to re-introduce wolves into the Scottish highlands some years ago as a natural predator for the deer populations. It foundered in part because of the right to roam act and the inability of the landowners involved in the project to fence in a reserve area for the wolves.
That such stupidity can be deemed serious by the general public and officialdom, says a lot about that community. (The same country that has the audacity to tap into the telephone conversations of the president of an allied country!).
Some ten years ago a shark attacked and killed a surfer in False Bay near Cape Town. That made headline news in huge bold letters. Yet, about 17 000 people are killed annually on South African roads, roughly just as many are murdered, but one shark attack creates paranoia! And we human beings pride ourselves as being rational. No wonder the world is in such a mess!
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Of course, it is fearmongering and another way to demonize wolves–just like the old Russian stories of a troika racing away from slavering packs of vicious wolves. Wolves will go for human prey if they are starving–and their natural prey has been overhunted or killed by overdevelopment or fragmentation of habitat. But like the stories of attacks by pumas, attacks by wolves on human beings is extremely rare.
In the UK we don't have any wolves but we do have similar (albeit not so profound) scaremongering about urban foxes – sneaking into houses and eating babies, etc. However anyone who has tried to photograph them will know how timid and easily startled they are. I have to say I think domestic dogs, that some people allow to roam free in the street (or don't close the gate to keep them in), are potentially far more dangerous and probably attack more people than any other animal in the world.
It makes more sense to build kidcages against humans, as kids have to fear more from other humans beings, sometimes even their parents, then from wolves.
Building kidcages against wolves has no justification, and only creates unnecessary fear and hate against wolves.
Building kidcages against wolves has no justification, and only creates unnecessary fear and hate agains wolves.
I have a place in West Yellowstone, Montana. Wolves, bears, mountain lions-you name it. 2 wks ago was walking a USFS road w/ my 2 dogs and a lone wolf came out if the woods, about 100 yards ahead, paused & looked at us, then went on its way. Had similar encounter w/ mountain lion, both last month. Grizzlies are more a concern than wolves. It's all hype, wolf haters trying to spread fear, so that more people are outraged and join the fight against wolves.
Seriously, you'd think there was a epidemic of these attacks, and then they drag out the "Think of the CHILDREN!" proclamation.
Almost everything written about wolf attacks on humans is wingnut alarmism. They may happen, but they're statistically insignificant.
Gee, ya think its political, really? (sarcasm turned off now.) Moms today have to worry about kidnappers, paedophiles and now child eating critters. What dangers should they be concerned about, which are real and which are imagined, fueled by media hype/ignorance/ratings. That is not to diminish the potential for bad encounters with wildlife. Large carnivores -bear, cougar – have attacked and killed humans for a variety of reasons. Coyote attacks on small pets and children are on the uptick in the suburbs. But cages at bus stops? I heard those cages attract rattlesnakes … hee hee.
I've photographed throughout Canada and Alaska, lived in Colorado and was there when wolves were reintroduced to Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park, spoke at length with outdoor writers from Cal Rutstrum to Andy Russell to Barry Lopez and as near as I know there has never been a properly documented case of wolves attacking people unless under attack themselves and cornered, including during seasons of poor prey for them. This is just old wives tales solidified into paranoia and ignorance gone to seed.
Mountain Lions are a different matter, But I'd want to see the statistics (and hard evidence) on children ravaged by wolf packs before I bought into this. There was a period in Breckenridge, CO when feral dogs were causing a serious problem. Perhaps a large Malamute was mistaken for a wolf by an ignorant witness but it seems to me to be one of those situations where a typical politician is looking for a cause, any cause, through which they can establish some sense of dependency and therefore power over the people.
It's a scare tactic plain and simple. Unfortunate, and perpetuating myths that later can hurt the species.
… So who invaded who's territory first? — If one is pondering on moving in by the lake, and a child almost drowns… Empty The Lake???
Thinking of taking my Family on a Ski Trip this winter ( I live in South Texas) … Who would I Totally Blame if one of them breaks a leg???
It is quite sad that a lot of people would believe mythical stories rather than true facts. There is so much miss conception on wolves which can lead to harmful actions that can affect the wolf populations.
Having spent at least 339 nights camping in a tent in the Mexican wolf reintroduction area in AZ and NM and having seen 43 of the animals in the wild since 1998, I think I can say with some confidence that the fear of lobos is definitely overblown. On those occasions when my companions and I have been fortunate enough to actually see Mexican wolves, the creatures have made themselves scarce as soon as they became aware of our presence. What I find particularly reprehensible is the fact that adults are instilling in children an unhealthy fear of wild animals—wolves in particular—for reasons that have little to do with the reality of the situation.
Ahhh, why not? The cages could protect them from rabid dogs and coyotes which would be much more likely an occurrence. If I were waiting on a bus there I would point out the fact that chickenwire does not work well on keeping out rain!
The wolf is terribly dangerous; here in Europe we see hundreds of people every year dragged off by these slathering monsters. Not!
This is just another example of political rectitude and ignorant stupidity of officialdom combined with the fear of litigation if there was ever a case of child injury through wolf attack. In all the years I have stalked wolves the biggest problem has been to get close enough to them to photograph; for some reason they have a very pronounced fear of man. Wonder why that is?
I have NEVER seen or heard of a wolf attack – unprovoked – on a human, though I expect the scaremongers can drum up hearsay about thousands of episodes.
It is this sort of stupidity that is causing un-necessary concern in the vast mass of ill informed public who as a result demonise the wolf and call for culling and control.
They would be better off controlling some breeds of dog that are far more likely to injure a child than a wolf.
This scaremongering is also aimed more generally at keeping the American people in a perpetual state of fear. Anyone remember the lesson in Bowling for Columbine?
"Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?…" It's a scare tactic if you ask me. But maybe the kids will be safer from human predators?
Unfortunately, wolves have always been made out to be the bad guy when it comes to human/wildlife interactions. Earlier in my life, I was a field biologist with the wolf recovery project in Northwest Montana, (Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area), and the Red Wolf Recovery Project, (Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee), and have personally witnessed amazing situations that simply nullify any credibility that wolves might harm humans.
Of course, with all canines, there is a chance that a diseased or rabid wolf could create some issues but this is an astronomically remote possibility. The fact is that a wolf has the capability of tracking and culling out the sick, injured and ill members of a flock or herd and has no desire to attack healthy creatures…human or wildlife. I personally witnessed a healthy white-tailed deer hold off an entire pack of Yellowstone wolves without any difficulty. The deer was so relaxed in the presence of the wolves, that it frequently stuck its head into the snow looking for forage. When the wolves got too close or made an attempt to attack, the deer simply took a defensive posture and pushed the wolves away.
Wolves just simply do not want to mess with any living creature, human or otherwise, that might cause them to exert unnecessary energy to gain a meal. There are literally thousands of documents from tissue samples taken from wolf predation remains that have clearly shown that wolves can actually detect the existence of disease in their prey.
Take this biologically proven feeding information along with the fact that there are no reported instances of any wolf ever attacking and eating a human and the fact that the New Mexico grey wolf can only reach a maximum of about 65 pounds in size, makes these "kid cages" a political effort to sway the publics opinion about wolves.
My opinion is that someone is using fear to advance their personal political agenda. A healthy and knowledgeable child who has grown up in a remote or wilderness type area where wolves are present will probably never even come into contact with a wolf. And even if a wolf showed an interest or curiosity in a child waiting for a school bus, the child could easily chase the wolf away or hold the wolf at bay with a stick or a few rocks. Wolves just do not want a confrontation with a human any more than a human would.
This information is based upon multiple personal experiences and observations in some very remote areas regarding wolves.
Wildlife should be a beautiful experience to be enjoyed and not feared.
Enjoyed this story. Makes me glad, though, that we don't have wolves in New England–at least not four-legged ones.
How many children in New Mexico (or elsewhere) have been attacked by wolves? While waiting for a bus? Perhaps a few of the "law makers" need to be educated (or caged?).
It sure sounds like scaremongering. Over the last several years, we've averaged about 30 people killed by domestic dogs per year in the U.S., and a sizable proportion of the victims were children. I can find no records of an attack on a human by a Mexican wolf (the kind in New Mexico) in the last century, same for wild gray wolves in the lower 48. If these people are really worried about their kids' safety, they should have been building dog-proof "kid cages" long ago. The cages are more a statement of hate and ignorance rather than devices that address a real problem.
Wolves are truly scary creatures – there is nothing like being on your own in the wilderness and coming on the trail of a pack of wolves – the paw prints are as big as my hand! That being said, I spent many weeks alone in the wilderness with wolf packs and have lived to talk about it. The kid cages are probably unnecessary. As Joel said, they are much easier than education. Great care, however, needs to be taken in the approach to subject. Do no harm is a good motto here. Rather than attack the cagers, infiltrate and educate ala' George Bernard Shaw, and you can't be blamed if and when a wolf injures someone (as could be the case in a too-direct antim-cage campaign).
I love reactionary ill-informed steps to appease vocal minority groups – much cheaper than education.
since we're talking bus stops, why hasn't anyone thought of cages to protect them from idiot drivers and creeps. That is a more likely hazard, isn't it?
It definitely makes you predict a scenario.
This is absolutely unbelievable, putting kids in a cage to protect them from the big bad wolf. I have also heard of some ridiculous stories, from northern Wisconsin,where people claim that wolves were hanging out by school bus stops in order to steal the kids sandwiches. I have spent a good share of my life in the outdoors looking to observe and photograph wolves and have had little to show for my efforts. I guess I should have been waiting by a school bus stop with a couple of sandwiches in my pocket.
I think it so sad that humans have this unrealistic fear of wolves… they're such glorious creatures.

Holiday Dove Craft
One of my colleagues created this wonderful dove pattern, cut out of a single paper plate. I hosted an after school craft program at our library last week, and here are the results.
Here's the sample that I made. It turned out so nice, I used it as a tree-topper.
And a close-up of the sample.
Here's one made by a seven year old. She decided to give her dove a pink scarf.
And this one, made by a three year old. I think it's cute!

I like these blogs!
A few blogs I've run across recently, that I like the looks of.
Hey Rabbit! by new author Sergio Ruzzier. Independent bookstores, classic kidslit, and plenty of sketches and behind-the-scenes look at his own work. I like it!
Ready for a bit of snark? Especially with Kirkus out of the way, we've got to get our negative reviews from somewhere.
I point to Books that Fail to fill the void.

In the Library with the Lead Pipe recently posted an entry about how to say no. It's a timely piece I think. With budgets growing tighter and workloads increasing it does seem impossible to say no these days.
In my case, my problem is that I so greatly enjoy what I'm doing, it's easy for me to end up taking on too much. Opening our new branch has actually worn me out a bit more than I anticipated. I'm doing a weekly storytime, a weekly craft project for older kids, visiting schools and hosting school visits, computer classes for grade schoolers, writing professional book reviews. I'm also selecting new books to purchase, and soliciting book donations to try and keep our shelves from looking so empty. There's nothing on my list of things to do that I'd want to eliminate, it's simply that there aren't enough hours in the day!
I recently found out that I haven't been selected for any committees in ALA this year. On one hand, I'm bummed. But, perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. Right now, I'm working at max capacity. My only fear is that my current numbers will be seen as some kind of "baseline" that should be increased. As tired as I am, the idea of doing still more is tempting. If I could, I'd add a second weekly storytime, so I could do one exclusively for babies, and another for toddlers. I'd add a monthly book club for 3rd through 5th graders. I'd review even more books than I already am and I'd blog more. I worry though, about conserving my energy for the long haul. If training for marathons has taught me anything, it's the wisdom of pacing oneself. For now, I'm sticking with my current already-busy schedule.
By the end of the day, with shortened hours of daylight, it's already dark out and I find myself ready to just hibernate. Consequently, I've been doing a lot of reading and not as much blogging this past week. There's nothing that passes a winter evening so well, as reading in a comfy chair, in front of a crackling fire. I've raced through the whole Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray. Read the entire Babymouse series (why did I put this off? They are so wonderful!) Read Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman, Dragonbreath by Ursula Vernon, Ever and Blue Moon by Alyson Noel and Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. Friday after work, I was feeling completely wiped, but after a weekend of solid R&R I'm feeling ready to (cautiously) jump back in the fray.

I'm very excited that a book I reviewed recently received a star from the School Library Journal. Whether or not a book gets a star is an editorial decision, but I was really rooting for this particular book to get that recognition and I'm so glad that it did!
ZIEFERT, Harriet, with Brian Stokes Mitchell. Lights on Broadway: A Theatrical Tour from A to Z. illus. by Elliot Kreloff. unpaged. w/CD. Blue Apple. 2009. Tr $19.99. ISBN 978-1-934706-68-8. LC number unavailable.
K-Gr 5—A love letter to Broadway written with genuine warmth and professional-theater knowledge, this alphabet book features crisp, retro-style cartoon characters confidently racing about onstage and behind the scenes. Pleasantly busy pages capture the excitement of live theater and offer multiple entries for each letter. For example, "A" is for "audition," "actor," "audience," and "applause." "S" stands for "stage," "scenery," "set," and "script." Multiple sidebars offer further kid-friendly definitions. Plenty of star power is lent with quotes from luminaries such as Whoopi Goldberg, Liza Minelli, Steven Sondheim, Bernadette Peters, Carol Channing, and Kevin Kline. A CD single written by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty performed by Mitchell is also included. A must for all collections, this book will be treasured by theater aficionados for years to come.—Madigan McGillicuddy, Los Angeles Public Library
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

Here's a partial listing of titles I selected.

The Gathering Storm signing
As if I wasn't busy enough with opening a new library, last week I also had the opportunity to volunteer at a book signing for The Gathering Storm by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan, so even though my plate is pretty full these days, I jumped at the chance.
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series was very close to completion on his death, just over two years ago. When he passed on, his widow, Harriet McDougal selected fantasy author Brandon Sanderson to complete the series. Sanderson is the author of the Mistborn Chronicles, Elantris, Warbreaker and the Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians middle-grade fiction series. Sanderson has now completed the third to last book of the Wheel of Time and was just finishing his four week tour as he came to the Los Angeles.
Myself and the other volunteers met Brandon Sanderson for dinner at a Roy's Hawaiian fusion restaurant across the street from Vroman's Bookstore. It was a pleasant evening, with temperatures in the mid to high 60's. As soon as our food arrived, Brandon requested a salt shaker. (He is notoriously fond of salt.) Someone asked if now that he was a father, if Brandon would ever end up writing things inspired by his son. He said, "No," because he'd heard that M. Night Shyamalan had written Lady in the Water based on a story for his children. We ended up talking about Shamalayan for a while. And Brandon said he felt that because his first few twist endings had gone so well, it seemed like Shyamalan was putting in a twist to everything, whether it needed one or not. He said he hoped that The Last Airbender, Shyamalan's current project would be successful for him. We didn't spend the whole night talking about Shyamalan, however.
Several of us asked Brandon what the status was on Robert Jordan's prequel novels, or Outrigger novels, and if those would ever be completed. Brandon responded by telling us that Harriet has said, "You've got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. And know when to walk away." And as to what that means, is anyone's guess. I asked Sanderson if there was any news on his Alcatraz series, and he said he'd completed the fourth book in the series and that a lot of major plotlines have been resolved. There's still plenty of questions left unanswered. It's possible he might return to it. But, for now, he has completed his contract on the Alcatraz books. He was much more excited about his upcoming projects. He said he might do a second trilogy set in the Mistborn world, taking place at least a hundred years after the events of the first trilogy. It would be urban fantasy, with magic and guns. He didn't use the word "steampunk" but that's how it sounded to me. He told us a little bit about his new Way of Kings series, which sounds like truly mega-epic fantasy, in a magic-rich environment with characters who wear powerful magic-imbued plate armor.
After dinner, we reconvened at the bookstore where we met with the store representative, who along with Brandon, outlined what everyone's roles would be for the evening. The store seemed a little underprepared -- they clearly weren't expecting the crowd of over 150 fans who gathered, and they sold out of nearly everything. Then again, Brandon wasn't number one on the New York Times bestseller list when he first booked the signing, either! Our store liaison explained that the store closed at 9 pm, and when Brandon told her that he'd never completed a signing before 10:30, she looked a little crestfallen, but quickly went about getting clearance for the store to stay open a little later.
The waiting crowd
The Storm Leaders handed out bumper stickers along with a Wheel of Time quiz and word search game to the crowd. A big shout-out to super-fan Bryan who'd snagged a front row seat and started the celebratory mood by saying, "On behalf of everyone, can I just say... Whoooo!" and let out an earth-shaking roar of appreciation, which was roundly applauded. Brandon said, "Can I get you to do that at every signing? That was awesome!"
Sanderson started out by explaining that he was nearing the end of a massive four-week tour, and apologized if he sounded a little "loopy". He then proceeded to give a wonderfully engaging talk, and answered a brief Q and A. A number of fans have probably heard the story of how he wanted to work with Tor publishing, because that was where Robert Jordan was published, and he shared that with the audience. He read from the prologue of The Gathering Storm, a passage that he said was nearly pure Jordan. During the Q and A session, he gave a couple of RAFOs.* Moraine? RAFO. Asmodean? RAFO. Someone in the audience asked "If a channeler opened a gateway, would it be possible for them to balefire themselves? What would happen?" Brandon said that he had heard Robert Jordan give a more ribald answer to that same question once, (RJ had responded something to the effect of, "You need to get laid.") but for Sanderson's part, all he could say was RAFO, as there's certain to be plenty of balefire at the Last Battle in the upcoming finale.
Before the signing, a signed poster and several Wheel of Time comic books were raffled off.
During the signing, I noticed that Brandon took a moment to chat with each and every person who stood in line. By the end of the night, his signature resembled a stylized loop more than anything else, but his energy and attention for the attendees never wavered.
With one of his youngest fans, an Alcatraz reader.
I spent nearly three hours canvassing the crowd of over 150 of the people who turned out for the signing. What struck me the most was the diversity of the group. There were fans who'd been reading Wheel of Time for over 15 years. There were a number of people who'd started the series about 6 months ago, and raced through the whole set to get caught up. There were even a few people who had just started reading WoT that night! I talked to a lot of Mistborn and Elantris fans who were new to the Wheel of Time, and a lot of Wheel of Time fans who were going back and enjoying Sanderson's epic fantasy novels. There were Alcatraz fans both young and old. People came from all over the Southland, but the person who traveled the longest flew down from Sacramento. Another person in line was from Houston. Parents really appreciated Brandon's announcement that people with young children, and those in wheelchairs, should feel free to come up to the start of the line. The way Brandon announced this reminded me of pre-flight boarding -- no doubt it something he has a lot of experience with, considering all the traveling he's been doing this month!
Chatting up the crowd
We gifted Brandon with a care basket, including cough drops, salty snacks and a set of blue foil Magic cards. At just after 10 pm, we gathered outside of the bookstore, for a picture, before Brandon headed back to his hotel and on to Seattle the next day.

The Ever Shrinking Collection
I thought it would be fun to take a look at how our shelves are looking at the new branch.
Here we are, just before opening.
The stuffed animals were generously donated by someone in administration. The shelves are looking pretty full (but not overstuffed) and we are ready to finally be open!
Here we are, this photo was taken approximately five minutes after we opened our doors for the first time.
About a week later, here is local author, Brigitte Benchimol, reading from her book Jayden and the Magic Bubble: Discovering India. You'll notice the shelves behind her look a little less fluffy than they did before.
And this picture is after we'd been open for 10 days.
Those shelves look pretty saggy baggy don't they? It's not surprising, considering that we've had over 17 thousand people visit us in our first two weeks. Well, it's heartwarming to see so many people taking advantage of our fabulous collection. So, those books are out, all over town, but they'll be back. And in the meantime, we'll be shopping for more (as budget and time allows) to fill the shelves.

What a couple of weeks, actually!
Our new branch is open, and fully operational. It's been busy, and wonderful.
We hosted a huge event with the mayor and other city officials on Monday morning, followed by an "Open House" the next Saturday, hosted by our Friends of the Library group.
I've been meaning to post this for what seems like ages (but is only a few days, I suppose) breaks at work are pretty much nonexistent right now, and the shortened hours of daylight have left me feeling ready to hibernate like a bear by the time I get home from work.
I've got a few photos of our opening day to share.
Mayor Villaraigosa, Councilmember Eric Garcetti, and City Librarian Martín Gómez cut the ribbon.
Students from St. Teresa of Avila School Chorus sing at the opening event.

Elia ha-Kohen († 1729) war ein jüdischer Gelehrter und Kabbalist in Smyrna, bekannt vor allem als Verfasser des vielgelesenen Sittenbuches Schewet mussar.

Er wandte sich auch gegen das Schachspiel, da es zu sehr vom Talmudstudium ablenke, drang mit dieser Überzeugung aber nicht durch.

I can look back on my life and certain relationships and see how things have always been the way they are now. What has changed is the way I view it. I glossed over things but now that I have grown and truly learned to love myself I have no desire to gloss over anything anymore.
Now the question becomes do I let go or simply accept and change the way I react to things. I also need to accept that I definitely have played my part in keeping things the way they have always been, and that I don't have much trouble accepting.
This spiritual growth and stepping into the authentic me is certainly an interesting ride.

A little volcanic island off the coast of northern Africa might warrant some explanations to some regarding its viability as a tourist destination. Madeira, however, requires no explanation. Before arriving, you can feel something slightly different regarding this Portuguese island situated just over 400 miles west of Morocco.
The fact that one's first experience of the island is a hair raising approach into its only airport- which sports over 3000 feet's worth of runway built on concrete pillars- very much sets the scene for Madeira. There is little doubting that humans have had to adapt to the challenging environment of the island, and there is little doubting that in some places, engineers have had to think slightly outside the metaphorical box.
Downwind to land at Madeira – note the runway on stilts 2 miles off the starboard wing as we fly at only 1000 ft
The island itself feels almost like a model railway set, with everything seemingly exaggerated beyond reasonable proportion. There are endless tunnels cutting through the landscape, to the extent where on certain stretches of road, you come out of one tunnel, go around a roundabout, and within another 50 yards, you're back in a tunnel. The reason for these tunnels is, however, relatively clear, particularly when confronted with some of the topography. Madeira, is, for example, the home of the tallest sea cliff in Europe (second tallest in the world). This cliff, Cabo Girão, is described as a "lofty" sea cliff on Wikipedia, and at 580m, they're not joking either!
At 1900 feet, Cabo Girão is not small in the slightest. This is taken from the viewing platform looking down towards Camara de Lobos and Funchal
Being volcanic, there is a large drop off quite close to the island, and so the sea is very deep relatively close to shore. At a distance of only 3 miles out from shore, the sea reaches depths of around 3000m. In turn, this makes the island perfect for whales and dolphins, as we found out to our delight.
Two dolphins breaking the surface of the water
And Bottlenose Dolphins were both on the agenda too
This Loggerhead Turtle popped its head up at us as we returned to Funchal
The twisting and turning bends forced by the island's topography can make for some interesting driving up small roads. It also creates the perfect backdrop for some incredibly picturesque rallying. The island is home to several major rallies, and although these are not in mid July (1-3 August 2019 is next), there are smaller ones held throughout the year. Having received a tipoff on Facebook regarding one of these, we went to a smaller one being held on the island.
The rally saw several nice cars including the Ford Escort Cosworth
And three Porsche 911s, however, with the spotlights on the front, this was by far my favourite
The island is not just home to rallies and dolphins, but natural rock pools such as this one in Porto Moniz, with the sea clearly visible behind the rocks
The island has a unique set of irrigation streams, known as Levadas. These are also popular walking trails and the easiest and best way to see some stunning scenery. Some are quite certainly not worth taking a camera on as the terrain is not always overly friendly, however, these are made up for by those where not taking a camera is borderline stupid!
The Levada Nova, looking south towards the sea
I did manage to get to the airport a couple of times to take some photos, and there's no doubting that when there actually is traffic, it is definitely worth a visit. Traffic is intermittent so I'd suggest checking Flightradar or the airport website before heading off, but this does not make the airport any less spectacular.
