Thanks to Radio France Internationale we will go to Paris to hear about the coronation of Napolean during 2005 bicentenial celebration.
We also parallel the recent Utah mine disaster with one that occurred in the north of France in 1906. It took the lives of 1181 miners (including children ) in an explosion that ran through 70 miles of tunnels.
- We discover the French writer Emile ZOLA with an excerpt from his 1886 master work "Germinal," a social fresco of the working conditions in the mines. Powerful writing!

A plugin for caolan's async module that add support to rollback successful async operations on failure.
A plugin for caolan's async module that adds
additional async methods with improved integrity. For example,
normally executes the callback immediately if any task returns an error, but this
is not always desired.
async-rollback contains a
parallelRollback method which
can undo parallel tasks that succeeded if one of the tasks fails.
Run an array of functions in parallel, without waiting until the previous function has completed. If any of the functions pass an error to its callback, the error is cached until all tasks complete. Once the tasks have completed, the results are passed to the final callback as an array. If any functions passed errors, the main callbacks error argument will be an array, corresponding to the input functions.
It is also possible to use an object instead of an array. Each property will be run as a function and the results will be passed to the final callback as an object instead of an array. If any tasks result in an error, the final callbacks error argument will also be an object.
asyncparallelAll setTimeout callbacknull 'one'; 200; setTimeout callback'error2'; 100; // optional callback // errs = [null, 'error2'] // results = ['one', null] if errs console.log'Errors occurred';; // an example using an object instead of an array asyncparallel setTimeout callbacknull 1; 200; setTimeout callback2 null; 100; // errs = {one: null, two: 2} // results = {one: 1, two: null} if errs console.log'Errors occurred';;

North American Edition2015-07-07 10:46 UTC
EUR-USD dove below 1.1000, registering a low at 1.0958 at the time of writing, and the euro posted losses against the yen and some other currencies amid market anxiety about the fate of Greece. It's become clear that unless Greece makes compromises, a Grexit is realistic, and given the fresh 'no' to austerity vote PM Tsipras would not seem to have mandate to bend to creditors. There is both a Eurogroup meeting and an EU summit today, which is perhaps the ... Read More ►
European Edition2015-07-07 07:00 UTC
Narrow ranges prevailed among the dollar majors. EUR-USD posted a 1.1025-58 range as the market remains noncommittal and on tenterhooks as the fate of Greece is awaited. It's become clear that unless Greece makes compromises, a Grexit is realistic, and given the fresh 'no' to austerity vote PM Tsipras would not seem to have mandate to bend to creditors. There is both a Eurogroup meeting and an EU summit today, which is perhaps the last chance Greece has ... Read More ►
Asian Edition2015-07-07 19:00 UTC
The dollar was mixed in N.Y. trade on Tuesday, though nerves were on edge amidst the ongoing Greek drama, and fears over a China meltdown. There were no new proposals from Greece, and EU finance minister and EU leader meetings offered little in the way of hope, with the term "Grexit" being used openly at the EU level this week for the first time. EUR-USD slid to one-month lows under 1.0920 early in the session, though recovered briefly to 1.0975 on London ... Read More ►

Creating Queries
A query is simply a question you ask a database. How many books are written by a certain author? Who wrote a book in a certain year? Queries select records from one or more tables in a database that match the criteria you set. They can be viewed, analyzed, and sorted on a common datasheet. The resulting collection of records, called a dynaset (short for dynamic subset), is saved as a database object and can therefore be easily used in the future. The query will be updated whenever the original tables are updated.
- To construct a query, Click on the New button in the database window as shown in Figure 16. Choose Design View, click OK.
- In the Show Table dialogue box as shown in Figure 17, you will be asked to choose a table/tables for the query. Select the tables you want to query and click Add.
- Add fields from the tables to the new query by double-clicking the field name in the table boxes or selecting the field from the Field and Table drop-down menus on the query form as shown in Figure 18. Specify sort orders if necessary.
- Enter the criteria for the query in the Criteria field. The Expression Builder can also be used to assist in writing the expressions in the Criteria field.
- After you have selected all of the fields and tables, click the Run button on the toolbar to execute the query. Figure 19 shows the query result: records that match the criteria you set.
- Choose Save from the File menu to save a query for later execution.

"A selection of pages from an 18th-century demonology book comprised of more than 30 exquisite watercolours showing various demon figures, as well as magic and cabbalistic signs.

To commemorate the 86th birthday of Maurice Sendak (previously), Maria Popova (previously) has published scans of illustrations Sendak did for an ultra-ultra-rare edition of William Blake's Songs of Innocence.

Protein Packing
Harvard University and XVIVO have come together again (Previouslyw/ a commercial focus, Previouslierw/an Academic focus) to add to the growing series of scientific animations for BioVisions -- Harvard's multimedia lab in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. 'Protein Packing' strives to more accurately depict the molecular chaos in each and every cell, with proteins jittering around in what may seem like random motion. Proteins occupy roughly 40% of the cytoplasm, creating an environment that risks unintentional interaction and aggregation. Via diffusion and motor protein transport, these molecules are directed to sites where they are needed.
Much of this is no doubt inspired by the beautiful art and explained illustrations of David Goodsell, a biologist at Scripps who has been accurately portraying the crowdedness of the cellular landscape for a long time now.[more inside]
Rooms within rooms, endless cities and labyrinthine structures
"I hope that a viewer will be able to put themselves in my spaces. To that end I've avoided adding any figures of any kind to inhabit the rooms, so the viewer is free to imagine themselves inhabiting them if they choose. Some people find them claustrophobic, others want to linger. The detail draws in the viewer, though I've also seen it repel the odd person. I enjoy the combination of the creepy and the whimsical. Perhaps this boils down to wanting my drawings to be haunted in the same way that my dreams locales often feel haunted." Excerpt from an interview with Matthew Borrett, an artist/illustrator who draws black and white rooms, scenes from unreal worlds, and some more realistic settings.

Lunchbox Doodles
"Q: What is the story behind Lunchbox Doodles and how long have you been doing it? A: It really started as a result of the fond memories I have of opening my lunch at school and reading notes my mother would place inside. While I can't remember specifically what they said, they had an impact on me. They served as a reminder that my parents were thinking of me even when I wasn't with them."

The title of Allen Williams' website, "I Just Draw," undersells his works. These are no idle doodles, but rather, as Guillermo del Toro wrote: "Entire worlds flow from Allen Williams' pencil and brush. Creatures and characters more twisted and full of humanity than our imagination dares to conjure. He is an incredible draughtsman and a true original mind."

ライナーノーツ (translation: "liner notes") is a short video clip that makes sense if you imagine a fan of Terry Gilliam was inspired by the animated scenes from Monty Python, but set them in the grim future of Brazil, with the added twist that the dark future is built in/around giant giraffes, turtles, whales, and bison. From the Japanese artist Yuta Ikehara, whose website and additional work is available here (Google auto-translation; via Dark Roasted Blend's post on contemporary Japanese 2D artists)

Book designs by Ellen Raskin
Ellen Raskin (1928-1984) is best known as a writer, author of The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I mean Noel) and the Newbery Award-winning The Westing Game. But she always considered herself an artist first. Raskin designed over 1,000 book covers, including the iconic original cover of A Wrinkle In Time, the edition of Dubliners you probably read in college, and the New Directions edition of a Child's Christmas in Wales (Raskin did the woodcuts on the inside, too; further appreciation here.) More Raskin covers are collected in this flickr set from Bennington College. [more inside]

Originally written on Sliding Into Home | Last updated 12/9/12
From Joel Sherman:If it needed any further punctuation, the Dodgers established that they — not the Yankees — are the financial heavyweights of baseball yesterday by reaching agreement with Zack Greinke on a six-year, $147 million contract. Unless the Yankees come out of their economic cocoon, they will not have the largest payroll in the game for the first time since 1998. With Greinke's signing, the Dodgers are up to about a $220 million outlay — and they do not appear finished yet. The Dodgers have a 3 p.m. deadline today to finalize a deal with Hyn-Jim Ryu after winning a posting bid for the star Korean lefty 30 days ago. And there have been indications they also may go after a free-agent starter such as Anibal Sanchez.This will be the first time since 1998 that the Yankees won't have the highest payroll in the sport. Of course, that would change if the Yankees decide to make a splash or two.

Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative
is a national foundation whose mission is to help youth in foster care make successful transitions to adulthood. We bring together the people and resources needed to help youth make the connections they need to education, employment, health care, housing, and supportive personal and community relationships.
Launched in June 2001, the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative was formed by two of the leading foundations focused exclusively on child and youth well being: The Annie E. Casey Foundation and Casey Family Programs.
A Board of Trustees, which includes members representing both foundations, directs the Initiative's work. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the Initiative is led by Gary Stangler, who was regarded as one of the country's most creative and effective administrators during his tenure as director of Missouri's Department of Social Services under Republican and Democratic governors from 1989 until 2000.
Annie E. Casey Foundation
(AECF) has worked to build better futures for disadvantaged children and their families in the United States since 1948. The primary mission of the Foundation is to foster public policies, human service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today's vulnerable children and families.
Established by United Parcel Service founder Jim Casey,
Casey Family Programs
is a Seattle-based national operating foundation that has served children, youth, and families in the child welfare system since 1966. Its mission is to provide and improve -- and ultimately to prevent the need for -- foster care. Casey Family Programs provides direct services, and promotes advances in child-welfare practice and policy.
