for Sno-Isle Libraries
When customers come into any Sno-Isle Libraries building with a question involving technology, chances are good that a librarian like Anne Murphy will be able to answer it in a heartbeat.
How do I download an eBook? How do I print from a Web page? How do I set up an account to apply for a job online? Sometimes the questions are more complex—specific to the design of a website, say, or the performance of a browser—and a librarian must track down the answer.
"Technology doesn't always cooperate, but we make every effort to outsmart it and get the job done!," she said.
It was the need to address quickly changing technology and widening gaps in digital literacy that prompted Sno-Isle Libraries to create the position of Lead Librarian for Public Computing. Murphy is the first to fill it.
"Sno-Isle's strategy includes building literate communities, and we believe 'literacy' for today's citizens requires knowledge of information and communications technologies," said Terry Beck, Sno-Isle's information services manager. "That's why we created this system-wide lead librarian position."
It's Murphy's job to make sure all of Sno-Isle's 21 community libraries have the hardware and software that customers need to use on site, and that all librarians are prepared to help customers—just as she helps at her home-base library in Oak Harbor.
Although technology can seem impersonal, Murphy's warmth and patience bring a human touch to the experience as people learn to use library computers, take a computer class, or download library resources onto their mobile devices.
"It's important to me that people leave the library with answers to their questions or having successfully accomplished what they came in to do," she said.
Murphy invites customers to drop in or call ahead to arrange for advice and training. "Book-a-Librarian" sessions are available in all of the libraries.
"There are people who visit the library who are not technology users, or who have minimal experience, and we are always happy to help in any way we can," she said. "The number one thing people want to know is how to download books from the library collection."
Electronic options for reading, listening and more
The library's electronic offerings are extensive. OverDrive is the most popular service with over 42,000 eBooks and 16,000 eAudiobooks from which to choose. More books are available from the 3M Cloud Library. Access to magazines is provided through Zinio and to music through Freegal.
"The service I've been using a lot lately is hoopla, which offers streaming movies, music, and audiobooks," Murphy said. "The exciting thing about hoopla is you don't have to wait in line for popular items. I've been impressed with their music collection and have been able to listen to new releases on the day they come out, as well as find some great older music."
Murphy is also tasked with developing and maintaining an extensive knowledge of the information resources that are available through the library.
While Internet searches yield enormous amounts of information, it doesn't always come from credible sources. In contrast, Sno-Isle Libraries provides access to a wide variety of reputable research materials.
Training resources are available, too. Sno-Isle's most recent offering is customer access to Lynda.com.
"It contains professional quality video tutorials on all kinds of topics including software, Web design and social media," Murphy said. "There are tutorials for beginners, or for people looking for advanced instruction. And it's all free—as long as you have a Sno-Isle library card."
Navigating a changing environment
Murphy began her library career behind the circulation desk at the Oak Harbor Library in 2000 and went on to earn her Master of Library Science from the University of Washington in 2003. She was hired as the teen services librarian in 2007 and remains responsible for teen programming and outreach to Oak Harbor schools. When the position to lead public computing was created, she saw it as an opportunity to move up into a challenging job with broader responsibilities.
"When eBooks really took off, it became clear that Sno-Isle needed someone to help staff navigate the quickly changing environment," she said. But although Murphy may be the navigator, she's quick to praise the technological sophistication and competence of library staff in all community libraries, along with an information technology department that works behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.
As much as Murphy enjoys working with customers, she also likes the more technical aspects of her job: ensuring that the computers in each branch meet the needs of that particular community and educating librarians about new technology adopted system-wide. Her job as in-house technology expert keeps her fully occupied—and always learning in order to stay ahead of the curve.
"There may be something new and exciting right around the corner, and I'll be watching for it," she said. "My goal, first and last, is to help both Sno-Isle customers and staff maximize the benefits of whatever is coming our way."

She says she doubts that Davis is nearly as versed in Scientology because his work has been too demanding.
Those who are not versed in the lexicon are often left confused, frustrated, and misunderstood.
"practiced," c.1600, from past participle of obsolete verse "to turn over" (a book, subject, etc.) in study or investigation, from Middle French verser "to turn, revolve" as in meditation, from Latin versare "to busy oneself," literally "to turn to" (see versus).
c.1050, "line or section of a psalm or canticle," later "line of poetry" (late 14c.), from Anglo-French and Old French vers, from Latin versus "verse, line of writing," from PIE root *wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus). The metaphor is of plowing, of "turning" from one line to another (vertere = "to turn") as a plowman does.
Verse was invented as an aid to memory. Later it was preserved to increase pleasure by the spectacle of difficulty overcome. That it should still survive in dramatic art is a vestige of barbarism. [Stendhal "de l'Amour," 1822]Old English had fers, an early West Germanic borrowing directly from Latin. Meaning "metrical composition" is recorded from c.1300; sense of "part of a modern pop song" (as distinguished from the chorus) is attested from 1927. The English New Testament first was divided fully into verses in the Geneva version (1550s).
A kind of language made intentionally different from ordinary speech or prose. It usually employs devices such as meter and rhyme, though not always. Free verse, for example, has neither meter nor rhyme. Verse is usually considered a broader category than poetry, with the latter being reserved to mean verse that is serious and genuinely artistic.

"We ordered these cards for our fall wedding and we couldn't be happier!! Customer service was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns!! Invitations arrived earlier then expected. Extremely pleased :) We ordered the rose gold foil colour and it is very whimsical!"
"I couldn't be happier with our invitations (and inserts/thank you cards). We requested the font to be in purple to match our colors, and it looks great. Something I didn't even think of was to make the back pattern purple as well, which they did on their own. Great quality and fast shipping. I can't wait to send these out!"
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"I absolutely love the Monogram at the top and the design was perfect. It matched our wedding colors exactly. Wedding Paper Divas even switched to the color we requested prior to ordering and it shipped in 3-5 days. Awesome company!!"
"Could not be happier with this product or the service I received during the ordering and review process. We added multiple customized features, which were all implemented beautifully. The picture we chose printed clear and consistently."

Toys for kids with disabilities

June 24, 2014
UPDATE July 5.
In the las couple of weeks, several hacked remote controlled toys made their way to the kids. See how they like it.
If you want to helo, please contact the email addresses in the end of the video.
/ End Update
Well, i don't know how to begin but I think that I should write something about it.
The idea is not mine but here in Shanghai we did some workshops to modify toys in a way that kids with disabilities can use them. For example we modified remote controls for RC toys with huge buttons, so kids with no hands or even no arms can press those huge buttons and make the RC toy moving.
DIYAbility is the central website for that kind of projects and we just do some of these workshops here in Shanghai. (please check the website for some pictures to get an idea about what i am trying to explain)
Right now I am helping them to create a instructional video and a PDF.
My request here is that you share your ideas about what you think could be build or modified to give these kids something they can play with or even hack the toys by themselves. Any idea which can be done in a workshop for non-experts are welcome.
Commendable effort there
Commendable effort there Lumi, and the others too.
Although complex, I had read somewhere of a mind controlled system (which definitely applies to robotics) which makes use of biomedical sensors. But to use them in DIY projects, I guess they would have to be in the form of kits or modules. Using these, we can study the electrodes or in general terms, "brain waves", that are coming from one's brain to simulate the thoughts into real world control. But I don't know how effective, impact wise and cost wise, this would turn out to be though.
Great ideas from everyone here. It is the beauty of robotics, and in my opinion, the utmost pleasure when robots add smiles amidst the disabilities.
Actually the optical mouse
Actually the optical mouse sensors are sensitive enough that they could be used on almost any part of the body that has good movement control.
This is a tough one because
This is a tough one because disability varies greatly from one person to another.
For example, a metally disabled person could be amused by a toy similar in size and shape to a rubics cube but with RGB leds in the small cubes that change patterns depending how they hold it or shake it.
Someone who has deformed or amputated limbs need a completely different system. They may need something like a "track ball" that they can control with their feet (an upside down mouse).
I can imagine someone with limited movement in / no arms using two upside down PS2 mice (one for each foot) connected to an Arduino. There is a good PS2 mouse library available for Arduino.
Hi lumi, basile, jinx, Maxhirez and all there.
And thanks you.
Big buttons
Accessibility is a huge concern in web development but one that most developers (would rather) ignore. In our shop we try to follow best practices for the differently abled (lots of elderly are interested in annuities.)
I can see adding audible feedback to a robot for blind kids, but I don't know about giving a soldering iron to a kid who can't use a remote control.
bigger displays
I have seen several toys that have 7-segment displays
How about putting bigger displays on those?
wriggly worm
20 inch long 4 inch diamenter give it a face that light up and sounds, along the body it needs to virbrate and have different textures runnin along the body coarse, smooth. fur so on.
the idea is it will stimulate the sight sound touch

The ship replicas are well made and fun to stroll around. The museum might be small but we liked it. Informative though unfortunately only Spanish description. The Sunday we visited the sight we had free entry. This might have been due to some public festival there
I was unimpressed by this display. The three ships rest in a glorified puddle, with walking bridges allowing visitors to walk among them. On one side, there is a "port city" like the one that Columbus' crew would've left behind. On the other side is a childish and offensive caricature of what Columbus would've encountered in the Americas. The museum...
We went to the stars show in August and loved it. Really funny.
Don´t go expecting an expensive show, which you won´t if you take into account how cheap it is. But let the children´s laughter and the magical atmosphere take you back to your own childhood.
We had a blast here. Reconstructions of the boat Columbus sailed to the new world. You can clamber all over them, and visit reconstructions of the native villages where he landed.
I read a review of a couple of years ago and it seems the situation has not changed. This is a place which has not been improved so much to be really interesting.
There is a great difference between the entrance with the small museum and the auditorium and the area where the ships are. The entrance and the museum...
Recommended for the whole family. Interesting museum, and the replicas of the ships were excellent! Well presented displays, excellent facilities and good refreshment area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
The Muelle or wharf is an interesting place to visit and we were able to go onto two of the three caravels moored there. I am amazed at how such tiny ships changed the course of world history. Surrounding the ships are replica Taino huts, not brilliantly done and a good imagination will enhance your experience.
We came here with our two children (2 years and 7 months) and had a great time. The reconstructions of the ships and the were brilliant and our eldest daughter loved exploring them. We don't speak any Spanish so the only improvement I could suggest is getting more of the information boards in English/other languages as it was really fascinating...
Superb review of the historic voyages of Columbus. Inside the building there is a museum showing many artefacts of the time and showing how the replicas of the 3 ships were built to the exact measurement and in the same manner of that time. An interesting slide show can be seen in the theatre, beautifully illustrated. Outside there is a...
Here are recently built copies of Sta Margharita, La Nina and La Pinta. All ships associated with Colombus and his voyages. It is surprising how small they are - I would not like to travel the Atlantic in one. OK, they are recently built, but they really do look like the originals!

the perpetual optimists who don't seem to give up, and that's a good thing when it comes to peace in the Middle East.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
With the notable exception of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, almost everybody has been getting on John Kerry's case lately. The U.S. Secretary of State is obsessed, naive, ham-handed, ignorant, dangerous or being just plain silly for persisting in his efforts to rekindle Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable enough but a little pedestrian by Harris's former standards
I have enjoyed several Robert Harris books, especially Fatherland, and to be fair, Harris's writing, especially his smooth and punchy use of dialogue, has improved considerably since earlier work. The actual 'Dreyfus Affair' was a complex, sordid and prejudicially-charged series of military, legal and social incidents which France at the time was keen to...

D. P. Mankin (Ceredigion, Wales) - See all my reviews
I have long been a fan of Robert Harris and was pleased to be given this novel as a birthday present. I devoured it in a couple of (longish) sittings. I recall studying the Dreyfus affair at school but these were hazy recollections at best. Having read the novel I am now seeking out a good non-fiction book on the topic so that I have a better appreciation of how well Robert Harris has integrated fact with fiction. The novel is revelatory in terms of demonstrating through fiction the lengths governments will go to in order to conceal the truth. Dreyfus was, to put it succintly, fitted up. As the author has shown in previous novels he is adept at (a) evoking a period setting, (b) creating well rounded characters like the central protaganist here, Colonel Georges Picquar, through whose eyes the story unfolds, and (c) making political machinations seem totally believable (and you only have to look at some of the more recent political scandals in the UK to draw certain parallels to those in this novel). The author's prose style is as fluent as ever, plotting is handled superbly, and the whole story rattles along. What really shines through the fiction is the author's obvious fascination with this famous French scandal. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Today the press is Dreyfus, Dreyfus, Dreyfus; tomorrow, without some new disclosure, they'll have forgotten all about him...",
Zapryan (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Robert Harris is famous for a number of historical novels, the only one of which I'd previously read being the bestselling Fatherland - a detective story that takes place in an alternate historical setting in which Nazi Germany has won the Second World War. Fatherland is an exciting, well-written novel that I immensely enjoyed reading but I have to say that An Officer and a Spy is even better as it gives Harris the opportunity to fully utilise his amazing ability to create fascinating characters and illustrate complex historical events in an interesting but at the same time informative way.
An Officer and a Spy is told through the viewpoint of Marie-Georges Picquart, a French officer who is involved with the investigation of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish artillery officer of the French Army from the region of Alsace who was convicted on charges of treason in 1894. Early on in the novel Harris deploys his ability to use metaphor and crisp prose to create an excellent sense of place, which I believe the following passage clearly demonstrates:
"The police line bulged, tautened and then burst apart, releasing a flood of protesters, who poured across the pavement and spread along the railings. Dreyfus stopped, turned and faced them, raised him arms and said something. But he had his back tomorrow and I couldn't hear his words, only the familiar taunts of "Judas!", "Traitor!" and "Death to the Jew" that were thrown back in his face.
An instant later the order was given for the parade to march past. The stamp of boots seemed to shake the ground. Bugles were blown. Drums beat time. As the band struck up "Sambre-et-Meuse" it started to snow. I felt a great sense of release. I believe we all did. Spontaneously we turned to one another and shook hands. It was as if a healthy body had purged itself of something foul and pestilential, and now life could begin anew."
Picquart is an apt choice for a character through which to tell the story as, just like Dreyfus, he was an exile of the French region of Alsace that was taken over by the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, which redefined the balance of power in Europe and caused great suffering to many refugees who were forced to leave their homes and move elsewhere in France:
"I was sixteen when the Germans shelled Strasbourg, thus kindly enabling me to witness at first hand an event that we teach at the Écoles Supérieure de Guerre as 'the first full-scale use of modern artillery specifically to reduce a civilian population.' I watched the city's art gallery and library burn to the ground, saw neighbourhoods blown to pieces, knelt beside friends as they died, helped dig strangers out of the rubble. After nine weeks the garrison surrended. We were offered a choice between staying put and becoming German or giving up everything and moving to France. We arrived in Paris destitute and shorn of all of illusions about the security of our civilised life."
The novel successfully illustrates the horrific impact that the Franco-Prussian War had on the French people. This conflict resulted in the German annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, the fall of Napoleon III and the establishment of the Third French Republic. The establishment of the German Empire, which became the most powerful state in central Europe, led to the development of an almost pathological fear of potential German aggression in France, which was strongly linked to the ease with which the Germans had defeated the French Army, as well as the significant numerical advantage that the new unified German state had over France. This fear was accompannied by French revanchism, rooted in the desire of nationalists to reclaim what Alsace-Lorraine, which they believed was naturally French territory. These circumstances partly explain why the French establishment decided to punish Dreyfus severely by exiling him to the penal colony of Devil's Island and placing him in dreadful living conditions:
"The exchange with Blanche unsettles me very slightly. The tiniest speck of - no, I shall not call it doubt, exactly - let us say curiosity lodges in my mind, and not so much Dreyfus's guilt as his punishment. Why, I ask myself, do we persist in this absurd and expensive rigmarole of imprisonment, which requires four or five guards to be stranded with him in silence on his tiny island? What is our policy? How many ours of bureaucratic time - including mine - are to be tied up in the endless administration, surveillance and censorship his punishment entails?
Gradually over the winter I discern that we do in fact have a policy with regard to Dreyfus, it has simply never been explained to me in so many words, either verbally or on paper. We are waiting for him to die."
Picquart is rewarded for his involvement in the Dreyfus case by a promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel and the position of head of the Statistical Section, France's top secret military intelligence department. During his tenure at the department, Picquart comes across evidence that there may be another mole in the French Army and that Dreyfus may not have been guilty of espionage. Yet his attempts to share his suspicions with the other officers involved in the case are fruitless, as the exchange underneath demonstrates:
"'Personally I suspected that brother of his, Mathieu. So did Sandherr, as a matter of fact.'
'But Mathieu wasn't in the army at the time.'
'But Mathieu wasn't in the army at the time. He wasn't even in Paris.'
'No,' replies du Paty with great signifiance, 'but he was in Germany. And he's a Jew.'"
This exchange reveals another important issue in the affair - Dreyfus's ethnicity. It may seem shocking today but in the late 19th century there was a strong current of anti-Semitism in France. In fact, even the novel's narrator, Picquart, is anti-Semitic to some degree but this issue is skirted over as there are only a number of occasions on which this issue is mentioned and it is not explored in-depth.
Harris's novel also seems to make points particularly pertinent to life in the contemporary age of mostly digital communication, which allows almost everything that we send to be traced and recorded. He makes a good point that even just over 100 years, secrecy had already become something difficult to protect:
"There is no such thing as a secret--not really, not in the modern world, not with photography and telegraphy and railways and newspaper presses. The old days of an inner circle of like-minded souls communicating with parchment and quill pens is gone. Sooner or later most things will be revealed. That is what I have been attempting to make Gonse understand."
As Picquart acquires more and more evidence that Dreyfus may not be guilty, he decides to report to his superiors in the hope that they will take action. However, he is given to understand that reopening this issue would have a catastrophic impact on French society and that Dreyfus must be sacrificed for the greater good of the nation:
"Let's face it, dear Picquart: the investigation into Dreyfus was not handled as profesionally as it should have been. Sandherr was a sick man, and du Paty - well, we all know what Armand is like, despite his many fine qualities. But we have to proceed from where we are, and really we can't go back over it all again. It would reopen too many wounds. You've seen the press these past few days, the potential hysteria there is about Dreyfus. It would tear the country apart. We just have to shut it down. You must understand that, surely?'"
Picquart's superiors advise him to drop the entire case and accept the fact that Dreyfus will eventually be forgotten, if no one decides to stir the hornet's nest. This situation is reminiscent of today's world in which scandals about government corruption, gross negligence or great injustice are not infrequent but they often simply fall off the agenda of the day as fatigue sets in and other striking news takes their place:
"He offers me his hand. His grip is dry, hard, calloused. He clamps his other hand around mine, imprisoning it. 'There's nothing easy about power, Georges. One needs the stomach to make hard decisions. But I've seen all this before. Today the press is Dreyfus, Dreyfus, Dreyfus; tomorrow, without some new disclosure, they'll have forgotten all about him, you'll see.'"
Picquart, however, is a man of honour who is not willing to give up even if all of his superiors are against him. He contemplates taking this matter all the way to the top of the republic's hierarchy but eventually comes to realise that the entire political establishment stands in firm support of the army, which it considers to be the firm foundation on which the nation stands:
"For a few days I consider appealing directly to the President, but then I read his latest speech, delivered in the presence of General Billot - The army is the nation's heart and soul, the mirror in which France perceives the most ideal image of her self-denial and patriotism; the army holds the first place in the thoughts of the government and in the pride of the nation - and I realise that he would never take up arms on behalf of a despised Jew against 'the nation's heart and soul.'"
Eventually, however, things get out of hand and news is leaked to the press about the particulars of the Dreyfus case. Picquart is hounded by his superiors and he eventually joins forces with some of the most formidable figures of the Republic in the crusade to free Dreyfus:
"There is a moment of silence and then one of the men - bald-headed and with a heavy drooping moustache, whom I recognise as Georges Clemenceau, the left-wing politician and editor of the radical newspaper L'Aurore - starts a round of clapping in which everyone joins. As Louis ushers me into the room, another man, dapper and attractive, calls out cheerfully, 'Bravo Picquart! Vive Picquart!' and I recognise him too, from the surveillance photo that used to cross my desk, as Mathieu Dreyfus. Indeed, as I go round shaking their hands, I find I know all these men by sight or reputation: the publisher Georges Charpentier, whose house this is; the heavily bearded senator for the Seine, Arthur Ranc, the oldest man in the room; Joseph Reinach, a left-wing Jewish member of the Chamber of Deputies; and of course the pudgy figure in pince-nez to whom I am introduced last, Émile Zola."
Although many of you may know how the Dreyfus Affair ends, I nevertheless recommend that you read this novelisation of the case as it offers an exciting story and the opportunity to explore the state of French society at the turn of the 20th century through the viewpoint of an interesting character who makes some very pertinent observations about France, relations between France and Germany, the nature of power and many other matters. Harris has managed to create a plethora of fascinating characters that populate the exciting and, at the same time, frightening world of the Third French Republic and I am confident that anyone, even those with little interest in French history, will enjoy this book. The only minor criticism that I have of the book is that while Harris clearly tells us which historical sources he used in his research, he does not acknowledge any of the liberties that he has taken with the truth. I only realised that Harris had made some significant changes when I read a historical review of the book. However, I suggest that you disregard this issue and allow yourself to be entertained by this magnificent book. After all, if you are interested in the details of the Dreyfus Affair, there are plenty of historical books about it. It's only one of the most notorious cases of injustice in human history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triumphant return to top form for Robert Harris,
I have always enjoyed Robert Harris's books immensely, although I did feel he had "gone off the boil" a bit with his later ones. I did not particularly enjoy the two Roman ones, and felt that both The Ghost and The Fear Index were inferior to his earlier, cracking thrillers based around real events. My husband pre-ordered this book and read it obssessively on holiday, and I snatched it from him the minute he'd finished it.
We'd both read the various reviews, which served to act as a reminder about the politics and progression of L'Affaire Dreyfus - like most reviewers, we had a reasonable idea of the episode in outline, rather than the detail. One thing I was unaware of was quite how long it dragged on and how the French General Staff perpetrated almost any untruths rather than admit they were wrong. It did seem to resonate with some current affairs, but it was truly anchored in the late 19th Century, and did not attempt to view it in the light of the 21st. It was still breathtaking in its outrage, however and totally absorbing. The huge cast of characters were so well defined and described and the appalling dirty tricks were as thrilling as any fiction - and at times almost more extreme than could reasonably be imagined. The fact that Dreyfus was not a particularly likeable character, and his defendant Picquart admitted to not caring for him personally, made it all the more astonishing that Picquart was prepared to risk his career in his cause. I found it ironic that one of the things held against Dreyfus was that he was from Mulhouse (in Alsace Lorraine), spoke French with a German accent and his wealth came from Germany, whilst the majority of the Intelligence staff in the book (Picquart included) were also from Alsace(annexed by the Germans post 1870), and all burned with a consequent hatred of Germany.
Despite the outcome being known, I literally could not put this book down, and enjoyed looking up the various protagonists on Wikipedia (unlike some reviewers I did not find this impeded my enjoyment in any way.) The variety of magnificent - and in some cases downright ridiculous - moustaches on view somehow seemed to reflect the self-regard and stubborness of the French General Staff, who refused to admit their errors and machinations even when international interest was aroused. This is a book for anyone who is interested in 19th Century history, as well as Robert Harris fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical fiction in one of its best editions,
"An Officer and a Spy" written by Robert Harris who attracted worldwide public attention with his novel 'Fatherland', is a great historical fiction, which tells the less known story of Dreyfus affair that at the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th century divided France and led it to the brink of civil war.
The novel main character Georges Picquart works in French Army Statistical Section, he's smart recently promoted leader of the counterespionage intelligence unit responsible for Dreyfus exposure as German spy that organized his trial. Alfred Dreyfus was a young Jewish officer, who due to treason conviction was sentenced to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, while his rank was humiliatingly taken away from him in front of mob crowd of twenty thousand persons which shouted "Death to the Jew!"
Georges Picquart will begin to explore some clues that have emerged in this case, recognizing from the start that things are not exactly like they were presented by government and that obviously something or someone else is behind the accusations that Dreyfus was exposed to and due to which his life was ruined. He will start suspecting that there is still a spy in the French military and that wrong man was accused.
The story is incredibly realistic and reader will many times ask herself/himself if all those things could really happen to this unfortunate man, but to the novel main character as well, who only tries to get to the truth. And while his investigation becomes more complicated, offering only new questions rather than answers, Picquart will start questioning not only the Dreyfus verdict but also his own beliefs, his faith in the French people and the government to which he serves…
"An Officer and a Spy" is a story about the Dreyfus affair, which is not so well known in the rest of the world, and shows a remarkable fact that the anti-Semitic movement was particularly strong in France just before the First World War. On the other hand is amazing that a Jew was accused of helping the Germans forty years before the terrible harm that will be done to Dreyfus people by this same nation.
The affair that took place between 1894 and 1906 is universally seen as a symbol of injustice, being one of the most known examples of unjust accusations where the major parts were played by public opinion and media. In the end, all the accusations against Alfred Dreyfus will prove unfounded and in 1906 Alfred Dreyfus was reinstated in the French Army where he served during the whole of First World War. Dreyfus affair divided whole France, almost leading to the brink of civil war, and one of the most prominent supporters of Alfred Dreyfus was the known writer Émile Zola who took lot of credit that for the Dreyfus accusations rejection.
Robert Harris with this novel once again proved as one of the best historical fiction writer who created compelling characters resulting in his book, despite the length of over 400 pages, is easy to read almost without stopping, even though we know how it will end. Therefore, his great book can certainly be recommended to all those who loved 'Fatherland' and Harris style in general, because his latest work "An Officer and a Spy" is a very thrilling and well-written title.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The government of the republic has given me back my freedom. It is nothing for me without my honour." – Alfred Dreyfus,
Wras "Kildonan by the sea" (Kildonan) - See all my reviews
"The government of the republic has given me back my freedom. It is nothing for me without my honour." – Alfred Dreyfus
Robert Harris brings to life events,and people with ease and a clear prose that leaps of the pages into our consciousness, making us care for people and events that are still relevant today as they were in their time.
This is the story Alfred Dreyfus (1859 – 1935) a French artillery officer of Jewish background that was accused of spying, charged, convicted, publicly degraded, and incarcerated in The penal colony of Cayenne also known as Devils Island, where his captor expected him to die and did all within their power to accomplish this end; he refused to surrender his honor or his life, growing larger than their injustice. His only crime was being jewish, but in this dishonorable men eyes that was more than enough.
Also the story of Marie Georges Picquart (1854 – 1914) and officer that risked all for the truth and justice. The real spy was a french officer of good social standing that does not deserve to be remembered by name, he was just a crime.
Sometimes a true story is so implausible you have to let the readers know that these events did really occur in what is the history of a modern, cultured nation, it also serves as a warning of how prejudices can poison the soul of a nation.
A Historical fiction thriller that delivers a shocking true story that France has to accept with shame; a shame, that sadly was surpassed by the Vichy government in the collaboration with the extermination of European jews (In 1995, President Jacques Chirac officially recognized the responsibility of the French state for the deportation of Jews during the war, in particular the more than 13,000 victims the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of July 1942, during which Laval decided, of his own volition and without being requested by the occupying German authorities, to deport children along with their parents.)

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt wiser after reading it,
hfffoman (Kent) - See all my reviews
What most struck me about this book is that while the scale of the conspiracy was breathtaking, most of the characters were unremarkable. There was nothing particular about the French military personnel 120 years ago to make them more prone to dishonesty than the personnel in any other military, or church or bank, or newspaper. Given the right cocktail of circumstances people with power will behave in extraordinary ways. Extraordinarily good as well as extraordinarily bad. I felt slightly wiser after reading it.
I also recommend it as an extremely entertaining read. I already knew the story in some detail and still found the book fascinating all the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent telling of a true story...,
This is an excellent book that is well researched and well written in equal measure.
I felt the early part of the book was a bit of a slog as the reader was (naturally) introduced to the key characters, but once that hurdle is overcome, we are presented with a well thought out novel which tells the true story of one of France's darkest days.
Praise for the author is well-deserved as Harris has constructed a comprehensive narrative of those events. This is a long book, but you never feel overwhelmed and I finished the book wanting to know more about this true story
Overall, this is an excellent book that deserves the acclaim it receives

5.0 out of 5 stars a fascinating true story - compelling reading,
markr - See all my reviews
This is a very readable dramatised account of the notorious Dreyfus Affair in which a young French Jewish officer was falsely convicted of espionage and exiled to Devils Island around the end of the 19th century. The growing concerns of another army officer, Georges Piquard, about the conviction, and his campaign to see justice done, are the themes of this superbly written thriller, based throughout on historic fact.
The poison that is is anti-semitism is made clear in these pages, as is the lengths that some people in power have gone to justify the unjustifyable and to shore up their own positions.
A superb novel which sheds light on a fascinating, yet horrible, episode in European history, and makes for compelling reading

5.0 out of 5 stars Un-put-downable,
Terrific book. I found myself staying up reading till 4am as I could not wait to find out what happened next.
Harris is a fine writer, and all his books are based on real moments in history which he researches meticulously. This means he has the ability to transport you to another time and place, and the talent to immerse you in it. This is a big fat book, but never for a moment dull, so hugely satisfying. Even if you have some familiarity with the Dreyfuss case - which is at the centre of the story - you will be gripped by the twists, turns and wonderfully-drawn characters as this immense saga unwinds. First class.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Man in Dangerous Freefall....,
I know about the Dreyfus Affair, in the sense (from 'O' Level History) that I know there was a Dreyfus Affair. But until I read this novelistic reimagining of the case, I had not realised its truly shocking nature or its incredibly divisive effect on France at the end of the 19th century. Narrated by Georges Picquart, the intelligence chief who first casts doubt on the conviction of the supposed spy Alfred Dreyfus, this is a gripping and thrilling story. It is also a very well- realised account of a man (Picquart) in dangerous freefall, at the mercy of a corrupt institution (the army) and a malevolent state.

Job fairs are in season, are you ready?
A job interview or job fair is not a place to make a fashion statement, Scott said. So dress as conservatively as possible.
Be organized.
"After you talk to several employers, everything starts getting a little fuzzy," said Debra Vaughn, director of Student Employment and Career Services at OCCC. She recommends that after each employer you meet with you step back and write some notes about the exchange. If an employer gives you a business card, make sure and keep it with your notes.
You don't need to carry a briefcase but do bring a sleek looking portfolio to hold your resumes, college transcripts, letters of recommendation, examples of your work, and a notebook to take notes on after each meeting. If you can showcase examples of your work on a flash drive that you hand to employers or you can provide links to your work on a website you create for potential employers.

While employers may or may not take the time to look at information on a flash drive or on your own website, it's no secret that many employers go straight to Facebook to get a feel for an applicant's real personality and lifestyle.
Look through your posts with a critical eye, considering the impressions your posts and photos could give someone who doesn't know you.
Check nerves at the door.
You're going to be nervous, facing dozens of employers and almost certain rejection from at least some of them.
Scott advises that you practice an introduction and "elevator speech" about yourself.
"Hi, my name is so-and-so. I'm graduating in May. I read about your company on the Internet and this is exactly what I want to do," is what Scott told her daughter to say to every employer she met at her first job fair.
You'll also need a short "elevator speech" for when employers ask you to tell them something about yourself. Pick several interesting items about yourself, such as your top five work, school or personal experiences. These items should follow a formula: What was the situation, what action did you take and what were the results? Whittle these items down to one paragraph, then prioritize them based on the themes that come through: these themes could be growth, customer service, education, innovation, creativity and many others. Pick your top themes. These are the things you want the interviewer to remember about you. Now, put it all together into about a two-minute speech (about 350 words). Briefly cover your college experience but devote most of the time to getting your top themes across. And save time at the end to mention your goals.
At the job fair, practice your pitch with several employers who may not be your top choices. Save your No. 1 choices for later, when your nerves are relaxed and you've had a chance to practice your speeches.
Remember your nonverbal cues.
The best speech writer in the world can't overcome bad body language. Remember the importance of nonverbal cues you're sending. Greet employers with a firm handshake, maintain eye contact, stand tall and smile. Don't lean against the wall or stand with your arms crossed, and avoid frowning, texting and talking on the phone.
After visiting with a few employers, give yourself time to rest, have a quick snack and rejuvenate. Meeting with dozens of employers in one day is exhausting, Vaughn said, and you'll need to plan to spend plenty of time making the rounds.
Follow up!
If you had a positive conversation with an employer, and especially if they gave you a business card, you must follow up after the meeting. Email is the best form of follow up, Vaughn said. All that a follow up note should say is that you enjoyed meeting them at the job fair and that you are very interested in the position and hope to have an interview.
"If you are the candidate who follows through, you might be the person who is invited in for that interview," Scott said.

Solving the Mystery of the Biology of Ageing
UCL Grand Challenges

Solving the mystery of the biology of ageing
A lecture by David Gems, Professor of Biogerontology, Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL
Venue: Cruciform Lecture Theatre (LT1), followed by a drinks reception in the North Cloisters, Wilkins Building
This lecture forms part of UCL's Festival of Ageing and has been convened by Nazif Alic and Matthew Piper, Institute of Healthy Ageing.
Recent advances in biogerontology (the biology of ageing) have identified many genes and pathways where intervention in animals can decelerate ageing, which results in partial resistance to a wide spectrum of ageing-related diseases, and an increase in healthy lifespan. This raises the prospect of a new, preventative approach in humans to the disease that is ageing to improve late-life health in the future. But despite such progress, the fundamental mechanisms of biological ageing remain largely undiscovered, and their nature constitutes one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science. Recently, an influential hypothesis in biogerontology - that accumulation of random molecular damage causes ageing - has been challenged, and based on recent discoveries in the field, new theories about what ageing is are emerging and being tested in short-lived animal models such as fruit flies and nematode worms.

A RARE SIGHT THAT WAS ONCE FAMILIAR. Plowing with mules these days is bound to attract attention even from farm people who are more familiar with a tractor than its four-legged counterpart from a nearly gone era. But Hill Gay put on a demonstration of an old-fashioned way of plowing Saturday afternoon as part of the Franklin County Cooperative Extension Service's 100th anniversary celebration.
If the secret to your family's favorite barbecue sauce is a couple cups of that, two teaspoons of this, a pinch of something and then just enough of that to taste, you might have a commercial hit on your hands — but it may take Jack Pyritz and some of his crew at Bobbees Bottling in Louisburg to pull it all together.Bobbees Bottling, which originated several years ago as a honey brand, is now occupying the former tobacco warehouse on Golden Leaf Drive (behind Bojangles) in Louisburg.
LOUISBURG — County commissioners have scheduled a work session and public hearing to get input on a 2015 spending plan that dips into the county's savings account, but doesn't raise taxes.The $73.27 million budget is $605,000 less than the total amount — county, state and federal dollars — the county expects to spend during the current fiscal year, but the county is expected to spend about $200,000 more of its own money in 2014-15.
RALEIGH — Novant Health's plans to expand its operating capabilities in Youngsville are being challenged.A state agency that, among other things, regulates the location of health care facilities gave Novant conditional approval to place two operating rooms inside a same-day ambulatory service center the company is planning to build at the intersection of U.S. 1 and N.C. 96.
BUNN — A man who carried on a generational tradition of farming, but wasn't afraid to be an innovator, died this week.John Vollmer was 71.Farmer John, as he was known, was raised on the family farm in Bunn in the home still used by the family located in the Back Forty.
Bunn Fun Run participant Shelby Fulcher
Last week, we focused on how the commissioners are giving away our tax dollars.This week, let me explain how the state is extracting a bit more money from the vast majority of us, all in the name of the State Tax Simplification and Reduction Act of 2013.You remember that, right?
Well, at least we now know what "tempering with reality" means as far as the proposed budget for Franklin County Schools.In a nutshell, it means the county is preparing to fund the schools at about $1.8 million LESS than the school board and administration have said it would take to operate next year — and that does not include the nearly $600,00 projected to keep police officers in county elementary schools.
Time and space did not allow for our coverage of the Early College High School graduation to make this edition, but rest assured, it will be included in a future edition of The Franklin Times.Last Friday, May 30, family and friends got an opportunity to watch members of the 2014 graduating class make there way across the stage during a ceremony at the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center in Henderson.
In the course of things, there will always be questions. Some are more important than others, and given the subject and/or subjectivity, often the answers may vary.It is reasonable to expect someone to respond when you ask them a question? Well, of course it is, or at least it used to be.Replying to someone when they speak to you is really nothing more than the practice of common courtesy.
The late Thomas "Tip" O'Neill famously said, "All politics is local."Apparently, our local politics is not free of the national sleaze and deception.A few nights ago, my cell phone rang with a survey obviously paid for by Republican State Sen. Chad Barefoot's campaign.
LOUISBURG – Elsie Daniels Horton, 93, of Louisburg, died Tuesday morning at her home.
BUNN — In loving memory of N. John Vollmer, Jr., 71, of Bunn, who died peacefully Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by his family.
LOUISBURG - Stephanie D. Hunt, 34, died Sunday, June 1, 2014 at her home. A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, June 6, at her home, 210 Neal Road, Louisburg.
BUNN -- There wasn't even a hint of suspense in the air before the Athletes of the Year were announced at last Tuesday's Bunn High School Athletic Awards Ceremony.In what was considered more a formality than a nail-biter, Tainasha Vines and Freeman Jones claimed the prestigous awards.
FRANKLINTON -- After helping Franklinton to another successful soccer campaign last fall, Anna Moss and Hannah Rayman teamed up again this spring -- with similar results.Rayman spearheaded Franklinton's girls soccer attack with her lofty talents, while Moss kept plenty of opposing shots out of the net.
FRANKLINTON -- Already a busy man, Jeremy Buck's responsibilities are about to increase at Franklinton High School.Buck, who has served as FHS' head football coach the past two seasons, has been selected as the school's new athletic director.Buck will succeed Steve Vick, who has stepped down, though he will remain at Franklinton in a teaching capacity.
BUNN -- Though he still has one year remaining in his prolific prep career, it's an undisputed fact that William Lewis is already one of the best golfers that Bunn High School has ever produced.But on some days, Lewis isn't even the best linkster in his own family.That's because William's older brother, Graham, is also on everybody's short list of BHS all-time greats.
BUNN -- Even with his two previous years of experience as an assistant coach at the school, Bunn's Chris Cullom wasn't quite sure what to expect from his 2014 baseball squad.Granted, Bunn was coming off back-to-back championship campaigns in the Northern Carolina Conference -- and has a solid core of returning players.
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- Dates and sites have been finalized for the upcoming Dixie Youth Baseball District and State Tournaments.
GREENVILLE -- The contract of Billy Godwin, head baseball coach at East Carolina University since 2005, will not be renewed according to an announcement by director of athletics Jeff Compher on Monday.Godwin recently completed his ninth season heading the Pirate program following East Carolina's 3-1 loss to Southern Miss on May 23 during the Conference USA Tournament.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.. -- Erik Gonzalez matched a career high with four RBI on Monday night as the Carolina Mudcats put together a 10-4 demolition of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans in Class A Carolina League baseball action at TicketReturn.com Field on the Grand Strand.The shortstop recorded three extra-base hits to help the Mudcats (24-31) snap a six-game losing streak to the Pelicans (37-18).
BUNN -- Here is a list of winners by sport from the Bunn High School Athletic Awards Ceremony, which was held last Tuesday night at the BHS Auditorium:
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- The Cypress Creek Civitan Club is having a "Golf Scramble" on Saturday, June 14, at the River Golf Course, which is located outside of Bunn.Registration for the event will begin at 8 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 9 a.m.Entry fee includes lunch, green fees and cart.
STANHOPE -- Southern Nash's sports season capped off recently with the recognition of the school's top student-athletes as part of Senior Awards Day.Madison Bell, who resides in Franklin County, was the recipient of the Nash County Schools Female Triple Crown Award.The honor is presented to a student-athlete at each Nash County high school for all-around excellence.
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- The Southern Franklin Youth Football Association will begin a gridiron program this fall as the Franklin County Chargers.Players and cheerleaders ages 12-under are welcome to participate.Signups will be held from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on the following days at Royal Elementary School:
CHAPEL HILL -- Here are this weekend's schedules for the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's Baseball and Softball State Championship Series (all events are best-of-three):
BUNN -- The Bunn High School Baseball Camp is slated for June 18-20 on the BHS campus.BHS head coach Chris Cullom, along with his assistants and players, will oversee the event.The camp is open to rising first through fifth graders and will be held from 9 a.m.-noon each day.Cost is $50 per youngster, which included lunch and snacks.
BUNN -- The Bunn High School Youth Football Camp is scheduled for June 23-26 on the BHS campus.The event will run from 9 a.m.-noon each day and will be directed by BHS coach David Howle, along with current and former Wildcats' players.Prizes and awards will be presented, and there will be a punt, pass and kick competition along with a cookout on the final day.
LOUISBURG — Police and sheriff's deputies combined to arrest a pair of suspects accused of raping a woman.Antwone Burgess, 26, of Louisburg, and Terrell L. Crudup, 28, of Franklinton, were both charged with first degree rape and kidnapping.According to Sheriff's Capt. E.H. Smith, the two men got in contact with the woman about 5:30 a.m. on June 1.Smith said the assault did not appear to be random.
LOUISBURG — Police are looking for three suspects involved in an early Tuesday morning armed robbery.According to authorities, employees were set to open the Bojangles restaurant on Golden Leaf Drive at about 5 a.m. on Tuesday when three suspects, one armed with a handgun, rushed the store."As one of the employees was putting the key in the door, they popped up and forced her into the door," said Louisburg Police Chief Rick Lassiter.
A century of farming in Franklin County — and the ongoing efforts to make it better — took center stage Saturday near Bunn when the county's Cooperative Extension Service celebrated its 100th anniversary.Outside the Montclair Complex on N.C. 98, those arriving at the event were treated to a mule-powered plowing demonstration by Hill Gay and two of his four-legged power plants that are as scarce in the county today as they were commonplace a century ago.
LOUISBURG — A Youngsville man was sentenced to about 10 years in jail for his role in trying to kill a friend's mother.Shannon Nyamodi pled guilty May 29 to conspiracy to commit first degree murder.Nyamodi, 20, could have faced 40 years in jail, but several mitigating factors led Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway to agree to a plea and set a sentence — 100 to 132 months — that reflected Nyamodi's circumstances.
LOUISBURG — An organization that provides support for victims of domestic violence is in new hands.It's new leader, though, is more concerned about footprints."She has been the voice of Safe Space," said Monica Kearney, referring to Lin Rudolph, who retired as the group's executive director last week after more than eight years of leadership.

'The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress'
How Tom DeLay Stole Congress makes a better subtitlenot only because it's sexier, but because it's a more honest representation of a documentary laid out as a procedural in which Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle makes his case for big bidness corrupting Washington. Initially a doc about the journey to indict DeLay and his political action committee (Texans for a Republican Majority) for their successful attempts to redraw the state map without so many Dems clogging up the works, Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schermbeck's movie found its (happy?) ending with DeLay's indictment last fall and resignation this spring. It gives the doc a thriller-noir vibe, despite its abundance of talking heads prone to smirking whenever DeLay's damned or snarling whenever he's defended. The filmmakers capture a battle for the soul of a state and country; we're all damned, no matter our choice of red or blue, unless things change sooner than later, says a movie that will divide like nothing since Michael Moore took the nation's temperature.
