The book seems to follow the tradition of a number of bird watching stories where a person (often, but not inevitably, a man) seeks to see all, or as many as possible, of some form of list. What separates this book from some of the more mundane "number chase" books is the complexity and intent of the material that revolves around the central chase.
There is the relationship with the author's father, which is interwoven with childhood memories. This aspect of the book glows with remembered affection, but, thankfully, seems to avoid sentimentality. There is the relationship with Lisa, his girlfriend, which for a few pages dominates the book, but is always present elsewhere. There is the nature of the environment, both ours and the butterflies. The contrast between the condition of sites that the author had visited as a child and their current condition is used to highlight the issues that face butterflies and the wider natural world. While there is little new in this particular aspect of the book, it is remarkably effecting at showing the range of issues and challenges that our wild places face today.
A regular theme is the challenge of conservation, with good new stories (such as the Large Blue) as well as the more side spread bad news stories. If ever we needed more evidence that conservation is a multi-faceted activity that depends at its heart on good biological knowledge, then it could be found within the pages of this book.Read more ›
This book is more than just nature writing, though: it's travelogue, journalism, history (of the Aurelian movement, those eccentric old Victorian lepidopterists) and also social geography: the story of Britain's butterflies is bound up with the story of Britain's changing urban and rural spaces over the last century. It's also an examination of the obsessive behaviour of collectors, a touching tribute to a father-son relationship, and there's a cracking narrative binding it all together, too. An utterly lovely read.
*He was wearing a t-shirt with butterflies on it.
This is a great idea for a book, giving a structure and narrative drive to a study of a specific area of Natural History. Although, in fairness, there is very little drama involved in Barkham's quest; As he readily admits himself, it boils down to a bit of research, mostly on the Net, and getting actual experts in the field to show him rarer species, the biggest problems he faces are bad traffic and, ultimately, a slight sense of boredom (p.278.)However, the real point of the book is to describe the various species of butterfly found in Britain and to celebrate them.
Barkham's interest in his subject is definately amateur. Any of the more qualified experts he consults-including the authors of the mighty "Millennium Atlas..."-in his search would, surely, be able to write a more authorative description of the butterflies of Britain? But it is the fact that our author is such a relative novice that makes his quest so appealing. The reader can share the author's pleasure in learning more about his rich subject matter, a more expert author would only be able to impart his knowledge, not have a joint experience in gaining the knowledge.
Not all the species are given equal space, some-particularly the Large and Small Skippers and the Ringlet-are given rather short shrift. Perhaps a separate heading or sub-chapter for each species would have avoided this problem.
The author's photos are an important part of the book, Barkham often mentions taking pictures of the species he sees; Strangely however, not all the species photos are included...some of them, even those who are specifically mentioned in the text (e.g. Mountain Ringlet) are not shown.Read more ›

June 17, 1958 T. V. REINAUER FILTER MEDIUM FOR DUST FILTERS Filed Dec. 20, 1955 INVENTOR. THOMAS REINAUE'R ATTORNEY 2,839,158 Patented June 17, 1958 United States Patent @fifiee assignments, to Metals il isiniegrating Company, lino, Eiiztabeth, N. 3., a corporation of New Iiersey Appdcatio Dec-anther 2t 1955, Serial No. 55%259 13 Claims. (Cl. 183-51) This invention relates to dust filters which are regularly cleaned of collected dust by dry methods and, more particularly, to dust filters containing non-volatile liquid silicone film coatings on fibrous filter material.
Filter cloth for removing particles suspended in gases is made up of fibers and passages through the fibers which permit the fiow of the gas but filter out the suspended particles. in one type of filtering apparatus, the filter cloth is subjected periodically to a reverse flow of through the passage The filter cloth in some of these apparatuses of reverse flow is subjected to a flexing. The action of the filter cloth in these apparatuses on suspended particles removes a large percentage of the .mrticles. The particles are not completely removed and a certain small but appreciable percent of the suspended p ticles penetrate through the filter cloth and deprive the filtering action of 100% efficiency. The suspended particles which penetrate through the filter are the subject of an action referred to as seepage. Seepage is generally gradual in nature and not principally the result of a rapid or immediate traverse of the particles through the filter. The particles which are the subject of seepage are small in size and of lesser dimension than the passage size. The material for dust filtering may be susceptible to chemical action and the absorption of moisture. It has been discovered that dust filtering material such as filter cloths, made up of felt or woven material, has improved filtering qualities as well as resistance to water it treated with non-volatile liquid siloxane. The ibers of the treated material are coated with non-volatile liquid films of siloxane. The treatment reduces the coefficient of friction between the filter fibers thus increasing the life of filter felt in reverse jet apparatus. The treated filter ante-rial provides a higher dust separation efiiciency than similar untreated material. it is the theory of this 'nvention that this greater efiiciency is obtained by a substantial lessening of the seepage, which lessening is achieved by the non-volatile liquid siloxane film coaton the fibers.
t is object of this invention to provide a means method of reducing seepage through filter cloth which is regularly cleaned of c llected dust.
it is another object of this invention to provide a filter for removing suspended particies from gas having a non-Vela 'le liquid silonane coating on fibers of the li material.
1 object or this invention to provide a production of an air filter medium by ting of fibers of filter material with a non-volatile ilicone compound. 's still another object of this inventionto provide t filter from fibrous felt material which has improved dust filtering properties and retains the physical characteristics or" an untreated dust filtering felt.
it is still a further object of this invention to pro vide a method of producing a dust filter means having a non-volatile. non-drying. non-hygroscopic liquid film on fibers of a material suitable for filtering dust particles from a gas.
it is also an object of this invention to provide a dust filter cloth comprised of a woven material having a coating of non-volatile liquid siloxane on the fibers of the cloth.
It is another object of this invention to provide a dust filter cloth having a siloxane coating film on the fibers to provide a surface action in the filtering of suspended particles from gases passed through the filter cloth.
These and other objects of this invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the following description, taken together with the accompanying drawing, in which:
The figure is a diagrammatic illustration of a section of a dust filter according to this invention and cooperating apparatus.
Filter cloth material whether composed of felt matcrial or Woven material, which is used in apparatus wherein the filter cloth is regularly cleaned of collected particles, will exhibit seepage. This cloth is pliable so as to be flexible under the action of the cleaning means. it is also desirable for this cloth to have sufficient elasticity in at least one dimension to meet the requirements of the cleaning means. The action of the cloth under the regular cleaning enhances the seepage of a part of the suspended particles. This invention reduces the seepage counteracts the action of the cloth under the operation of the cleaning means to increase the efiiciency of the separation.
it has been found that materials for removing suspended particles from gases have improved filtering characteristics when the fibers of the materials are coated with a non-volatile liquid siloxane film. A substantial proportion of fine particles are separated from the efiiuent gas. These particles penetrate,- through the untreated material by seepage and the percenage of these particles that are removed from the gas by the filter of this invention is substantially increased.
This invention has been found particularly applicable to filter cloth of felted material, filter cloth of woven mole skin, sateen and similar woven materials. Wool fibers, making up the major part of filter cloth felt, have a diameter range of from 40 to 100 microns.
These fibers are packed to form a fibrous material having interstices between the fibers which form tortuous passages having means diameters of the order of the diameter of the fibers. A dust-carrying gas is passed through the filter material from which a filtered gas escapes with a high proportion of the suspended solid particles removed. The removal of the suspended solid particles takes place upon the passage of the gas through the felt material. To obtain a substantial through-put of gas and to. provide a filtered gas of substantial volume, it is necessary that the passages through the filter material be large enough to allow a large flow of gas. The dust particles, which are removed from the filtered gas, are of a smaller size than the cross-section of the passages through the filter. Some of these particles are fine dust ranging from less than 1 micron to 4 microns in diameter. The dust particles, including the fine dust, are removed from the gas by an action which retainsthe dust particles on the fibers and not by the inability of the particles to move through the passages through the filter.
The filter cloth of this invention is pliable so asfto be fiexible under a regular cleaning action which removes collected dust from the cloth. The siloxane film coating on the filter cloth fibers provides a surface action which retains a substantial proportion of the fine dust from penetrating more than a part of the distance through the filter cloth. Thus, the separation efficiency is in- The, nfiltered'gas'is drawn to the felt 10 creased and only a small portion of the fine dust seeps entirely through the filter cloth under the flexing action which accompanies the regular cleaning of the filter cloth.
'It has been discovered that the ability of dust filters of this invention to retain dust particles on the filter fibers is improved by the application to the fibers of any non-volatile silicone liquid which has a greater viscosity than 20 centistokes at room temperature. non-volatile silicone fiber coating liquid of this invention remains liquid on the felt fibers during the use of the felt as a filter material and does not cure or dry to a non-liquid state. Siloxane silicones have been found to provide compounds having these qualities. siloxanes with viscosities up to 60,000 centistokes at room temperature have been found to provide non-volatile liquid characteristics to a coating of the fluid on the fibers. The'felt which may make up a filter cloth of this invention is sufiiciently pliable to flex under the operation of a regular cleaning action. This flexing curves the felt in an are through arelatively short sector and consequently causesthe fibers to work with relation to each other. have a thickness of approximately 0.074 inch and a voids volume of approximately 70 percent. The siloxane fluid, whichprovides the fiber coating of this invention is applied to the felt to produce a coating film on the fibers. The coating film on the felt fibers may vary from around 1 micron in thickness up to several microns. In the felt specified above, a fiber coating of greater than 6 microns in thickness'is objectionable. An excessively thick siloxane coating on the fibers causes the filtered dust particles to adhere to the filter material in layers which are not amenable to a regular cleaning operation. Accordingly, it is desirable to avoid coatings of 'such thickness on the filter fibers. In the. above specified felt filter material, a fiber coating ofmore than 6 microns causes the adhesive layering of the filtered dust particles.
A .felt filter treated'with a silicone compound, according to this invention, does not'lose its physical characteristics or softness and retains its pliability while exhibiting improved dust removing qualities. The silicone may be applied to the dust filter fibers in a liquid vehicle in which it is solvent or miscible or by a spray of fine particles in a gas under pressure. When applied by any 'of these methods, the silicone compound assumes a coating on the various individual fibers of the felt material to provide the properties of thepro'duct of this invention. The accompanying figure shows a section of a felt dust filter in enlarged and diagrammatic form. A felt 10 is representative of a filter material according to this invention. A blow ring 1, cooperating with the felt 10, is in'abutrnent with the felt 10 and has an aperture '12 through which an air jet. is ejected against the contiguous felt 10. The felt Itl'is composed of spaced fibers 16; The figure does not illustrate the dimensions of the spacing The fibers carry a coating film of non-volatile liquidsiloxane of the nature described herein(**' r The felt 10 has collected a layer 13 of duston the surface. opposite the blow ring 11; The 'layer of col- A representative piece of felt filter cloth may 4 1 tion to the gas flow.

The particles 15 adhere tenaciously to the siloxane coating on the fibers 16 along the tortuous paths provided. through the felt 10 by the fibers 16. The retained particles 15 adhere to the fibers 16 mainly in the area of initial impingement of the dust particles 15 on the felt 10. The particles retained on the siloxane coating serve to limit and reduce the seepage of particles of less than 4 microns in size through the felt 10, particularly'in the areas of flexing A and .B immediately above and below the section of the felt which is contiguous with the blow ring 11 in its travel along the surface of the felt 10. i
This surface action produced by the siloxane coating on the fibers 16 reduces the seepage of the fine dust which is made up of particles of less than 4 microns in size. The filter' of this invention thus substantially reduces the small amounts of fine dust which filter mediums ,7
are prone to allow to pass through.
Polyorganosiloxanes are particularly applicable in this invention in providing a coating on the fibers of the filter. 'material. Dimethyl-, methyl-, diethyl-, ethyland copolymerized methyl-phenyl siloxanes are the most desirable siloxanes for the coating of this invention. Polymerized polyorg'anosiloxanes have the following generic structural formula:

The siloxanes having a vis- 'cosity of around 350 centistokes at room temperatures provide the most satisfactory coatings.

Polyethyl siloxanes may also be employed as fiber coatings in the fluid state at viscosities in the ranges set forth above. The ratio of ethyl groups to silicon atoms in the diethyl siloxane polymer must be such as to provide a non-volatile permanent liquid for the fiber coating. A fiber coating fluid diethyl siloxane polymer is provided by an ethyl group to silicon atom ratio of over 1.5 :1. It is preferable that the ratio be 2:1 or more.
Polydiethyl siloxanes with this ethyl group to silicon atom ratio provide san'sfactory coatings which remain fluid during use and are non-volatile at temperatures of operation of the filter under the conditions set forth above. These polydiethyl siloxanes are, therefore, comparable to the dimethyl siloxanes.
Monomethyl and monoethyl siloxanes provide fiber coatings which are satisfactory for the filtering of dust from a gaseous medium. The viscosities of these compounds are selected to be comparable to the viscosities set forth above in providing a non-volatile, substantially permanent liquid coating.
The polymer of phenyl siloxane, having a viscosity of 500 centistokes may also be employed to provide the liquid coating on the fibrous material. This polymer is not as desirable as the polymers of methyl siloxane and ethyl siloxane. The important features are the permanent fluidity of the coating on the fibrous material; the nonvolatility of the fluid siloXane coating and the non-hygroscopic properties of the fiber coating.
The coating may be applied to the filter cloth from a solution, emulsion, or by a spray mist method. The coating is applied to the felt material by the solvent method with the siloxane diluent in a suitable solvent, such as a ketone. The felt filter material is dipped in this solution to saturation. The excess solution is drained off and finally the diluent solvent ketone is permitted to evaporate leaving the fluid siloxane on the filter material. The fluid siloxane is in the form of a fluid coating on the fibers of the material. As it is non-volatile, it remains in the material after the evaporation of the solvent.
The following examples of the application of siloxane to a felt filter material are by way of illustration and not limitative on the scope of the invention.
Example 1 One part by weight of polydimethyl siloxane is diluted in 25 parts by weight of methyl, ethyl ketone. A felt filter medium is dipped in the solution. The filter medium is removed from the solution and the excess solution is allowed to drain ed. The diluent ketone solvent is evaporated from the felt to provide a coating on the felt fibers of dimethyl siloxane.
The felt filter material which has received the coating of dimethyl siloxane exhibits high dust removing efficiency r in filtering gas passed through the filter.
Example 11 Example III A solution of 25 parts by Weight of methyl, ethyl ketone and 1 part by weight of a copolymer of dimethyl siloxane and phenyl siloxane, containing a high percentage of phenyl siloxane, is saturated in a filter material and the excess solution is drained ofi. The solvent methyl 6 ethyl ketone is evaporated to dry the filter material and produce a coating on the fibers of the filter material of a non-volatile liquid film of the copolymer of dimethyl and phenyl siloxanes.
The filter cloth of this invention removes suspended particles from a gas as demonstrated on test equipment composed of a filter bag consisting of a treated filter cloth mounted in a blow ring dust collector machine. The blow ring dust collector machine is devised to provide regular removal of collected dust from the filter bag. In the testing procedure, a feed of gas-containing suspended particles is provided having a particle density of 10 grains Johns Manville Celite 281 dust per cubic foot of gas. This dust is composed of 97% of particles of a size less than 32S-mesh. The pressure diiferential t' rough the fiter bag is maintained at 3 /2 inches of or and the gas velocity is 18 feet per minute. A comparison of the separation results from filtering with filter bags composed of the filter materials set forth in Examples I, II and III with bags of the same material untreated, shows a substantial increase in dust collection efficiency by the use of the treated filter materials of the examples. The filter material of Examples I, II and 1H provides a reduction of seepage of fine dust.
Example IV One part by weight of dimethyl siloxane is diluted in 25 parts by weight of ethyl-methyl ketone. A piece of 15 oz. per square yard moleskin material is immersed in the 4% concentration of siloxane. The saturated moleskin is removed from the solution and the excess solution is drained off. The diluent ketone solvent is evaporated to provide a coating of dimethyl siloxane on the fibers.
A filter bag is made up of the treated 15 oz. per square yard moleskin material and a similar section of untreated moleskin material. The test filter bag is mounted in the test blow ring dust collector machine and filters the test dust laden gas continuously for a period of 136 hours. Visual inspection indicates that the fiber coated section of the moleskin provides better dust retention than the untreated portion.
A gain in collection eificiency is realized by coating the fibers of the woven material with siloxane.
Example V A 4% solution of dimethyl siloxane in methylethyl ketone is impregnated in an 11 oz. per square yard woven and napped moleskin material. The moleskin material is removed from the solution and the solvent evaporated to provide a siloxane coating on the fibers of the material.
A section of siloxane-treated 11 oz. moleskin and an untreated section of the same material is made up into a filter bag and tested on the blow ring dust collector test machine with the test dust laden gas. Visual inspection indicates the treatedsection of the filter bag has better dust retention than the untreated section.
The polysiloxane liquid fihn may be applied to the felt fibers either from a solution as set forth in the above examples, or from a Water emulsion, or sprayed on the filter material by a spray mist from a nozzle.
Example VI A water emulsion is prepared from 35 parts by weight of 350 centistokes viscosity dimethyl siloxane in 65 parts by weight of water. The 3565% siloxane water emulsion is diluted to a concentration of 2% to 4% by Weight of siloxane in water.
Wool felt filter material is passed through the siloxane water emulsion and saturated with the emulsion. The saturated felt filter material is removed from the emulsion after saturation and excess water is removed from the felt material by passing it through a process roll to provide a 100% increase in weight of the treated felt. The treated felt filter material is dried by evaporation of. the waterto produce. a fluid film of'non- The filter'material separates dust from agas passed through the filter material by collection of dust particles on the liquid coated fibers of the treated filter material. The siloxane water emulsion may contain an emulsifying agent to provide. uniformity in the emulsion.
-Felt filters, according to this. invention, may also be prepared by treatment with a spray mist of siloxane polymer. A finished and dried felt filter material is sprayed by a mist of siloxane polymer of the proper l viscosity. The mist is formed from a spraynozzle having a jet mist discharge orifice, whichpproduces a mist' having mist particles in a size range of from 1. to 15 microns.
a One method of applying a non-volatile liquid siloxane coating to filter material is shown in the following example.
' Example VII An oil mist unit'having a jet mist discharge orifice and reservoir for coating fluid is filled with 350 centistokes' viscosity dimethyl siloxane. A piece of 0.078
7 inch thick felt weighing 52% ozs. is sprayed with 2.08
grams of dimethyl siloxane'through the jet mist discharge orifice. The mist particle size ranges from 1 to 15 micronsin a jet of a velocity of383 ft. per second. The filter is sup'por'tedon a screen during treatment and the nozzle is drawn over the filter material on the screen at a uniform rate. The 'filter is increased in weight by 4% and is provided with anon-volatile liquid coating on the felt fibers. t
The filter material formed into a' filter tube for the blow ring dust collection test machine produces a dust collection performance identical with filters described in the above examples.
The product of this invention as' illustrated by the above examples exhibits an improvement in separating efficiencies in the filtering of dustfrom air. These separating efficiencies are higher than efficiencies obtainable with untreated'wool felt material and reflect the reduction of seepage of fine dust. For example, the felt material impregnated with a' siloxane' of this invention exhibits an efliciency of 99.997% in the removal of fine dust particles from.qair.. By comparisonyfelt filters without the fluid coating of siloxane exhibit an vidcd' by the siloxane coating is a substantial difference.

I can't even tell what it was supposed to be before the person just covered their kid's sick in cheese and tried to palm it off as dinner.
2. Nothing says "we're breaking up" like foam tubing and duct tape on a coat hanger. A Valentine's DIY that's a one way ticket to single street.
3. It's not worth it. It's really not.
hash tag YOLO. Cos seriously, life is too short.
4. BUT if you DO choose to waste your precious life *conturing*, you can expect these kind of results:
What's that you say? The difference is mind blowing? I know, right!!
5. I….I…..what?
No, really, what is she doing? This was under "dress making".
6. From user 'Seashell CrAzY'.
This is so ugly I can't even begin. All the seashells involved in the making of this upsetting nightmare are praying for the right to die….maybe not with dignity, but at least to get some peace.
7. Sweet green beans, I'm sorry its come to this.
ok, we need some rules: DO NOT take a picture of or try to make people eat food if any of the following applies- the 'food' closely resembles spew, the appearance of the 'food' doesn't improve following the application of a filter and/or when presented with the 'food' people giggle out of fear or genuine mirth that you think you can cook.
8. Let us be Thankful…
….that this is NOT what's for dinner.
9. I don't think you understand what a lamp shade does.
Or what "Not ugly" means.
10. Why are you hanging lit cheese graters around your house?
Just contemplate that question….
11. The ultimate classic "my take on a Pintrest idea"
This is (surprisingly) how to cover-up those ugly blinds while still having access to the windows. Because in no way does this 'decorating' idea make something that is relatively inoffensive blazingly hideous.
12. Ahh Pintrest, whenever you try to suck me in with your pretty pictures and mason jar based fun, I always remind myself:

Benevolence and Betrayal: Five Italian Jewish Families Under Fascism
A profoundly moving history of Italy's Jews under the shadow of the Holocaust, told through the lives of five Jewish Italian families: the Ovazzas of Turin, who prospered under Mussolini and whose patriarch became a prominent fascist; the Foas of Turin, whose children included both an antifascist activist and a Fascist Party member; the Di Verolis of Rome, who struggled fo ...more

A brilliantly and thoroughly researched account of the plights of five different Italian Jewish families during WW2. Alexander Stille, the author, has interviewed surviving members of each of the families and presents a narrative history pulsing with riveting and profoundly moving anecdotes.
The families live in different cities – Turin, Ferrara, Rome and Genoa. There are several truly memorable characters. There's Ettore Ovazzi who is a militant fascist and remains so even after the anti-Semiti ...more

Different cities and districts in Italy during the 1930's and 1940's all seem to have had greatly varying numbers of Jewish populations. Multiplied by so many various class and/or work occupation status. And the reactions and complicated levels of anti-fascism as varied, as well. So this is researched history with literally hundreds of documented characters within 5 family groups and their lives and outcomes during these years. It is a difficult read, it does not read as a novel. Turin so differ ...more

Walking around Rome you occasionally notice small brass squares embedded in the sidewalk, each one engraved with the name of an Italian Jew who was sent to Auschwitz. In some cases entire families including babies were deported and killed. This story is horrifying but fairly well-known.
Benevolence and Betrayal goes beyond the familiar horror into the more complex nature of the experience of Italian Jews, who were (and are) deeply assimilated into Italian society, and reluctant to believe that t ...more

This book provides fantastic insight into the plight of Italian Jews during the Holocaust. I found it especially poignant to read while living in Italy, so close to many of the events. The fate of Jews during this period was not cut and dry and neither was the response on the part of the Italian government. I was most impressed to learn the pivotal role played by the Catholic leadership in Genoa (where we currently reside), who worked alongside the Jewish underground to rescue thousands of Jews. ...more

Fascinating book. At first I felt a bit like I was reading a textbook, but, especially with the later families and with the updates on these families at the end, I feel that I know the people, though as always I stand in awe of their bravery. I can't imagine risks like this - the hiding and running from, or risking the dangers of providing sanctuary for...The wealth of primary source research made this come alive. The letters and diaries and reported conversations are those of real people, not j ...more

Excellent non-fictional discussion of five extended Italian families under Fascism, with a detailed and fascinating explanation of historical trends, currents, etc. Well-written, easy to follow and well documented.
Jan 24, 2008 Kelly Hicks added it
First Stille book I read, and I was totally hooked. Such a compelling history of these families. I had no idea of the details of Italian Jewish families under fascism, usually because Hitler and Nazism takes center stage. I learned so much about the historical situation of the Jews in Italy--starting in Roman times and up through WWII.
Jul 27, 2011 Iain McNab added it
I was led to this through Bassani's beautiful novel The Garden of the Finzi-Continis. This history of five Italian Jewish families under fascism fleshes out much of the historical background to the novel and is equally moving on the personal tragedies.
Aug 19, 2010 Judy rated it really liked it
Shelves: italy, non-fiction
Not always "easy reading" but a solid exploration of how Italy moved from a place where Jews were at home to a place where they were at risk during WWII. Alexander Stille is an American journalist with a historical bent.

Recommends it for: everyone!
Shelves: non-fiction, jewish-or-israeli
This book sheds light on the little-covered WWII experiences of Italian Jewish families. It is a great book - I had a hard time putting it down and didn't want it to end.

Fantastic book about Italian Jews during WW2 a subject I haven't read alot about. I would reccomend this book to anyone interested in the Holocaust

Teaching Nineteenth-Century American Poetry
- Editors: Paula Bernat Bennett, Karen L. Kilcup, Philipp Schwieghauser
- Pages: ix & 402 pp.
- Published: 2007
- ISBN: 9780873528214 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873528221 (Paperback)
"This volume argues very powerfully that nineteenth-century American poetry encompasses much more than Whitman and Dickinson. This is an indispensable book and will be useful to both new and experienced instructors who wish to include nineteenth-century American poetry in their classes."
"A must-have for any educator in charge of teaching the subject and for community library education collections."
Twentieth-century modernism reduced the list of nineteenth-century American poets to Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and (less often) Edgar Allan Poe. The rest were virtually forgotten. This volume in the MLA series Options for Teaching marks a milestone in the resurgence of the study of the rest. It features poets, like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Lydia Huntley Sigourney, who were famous in their day, as well as poets who were marginalized on the basis of their race (Paul Laurence Dunbar, Alexander Posey) or their sociopolitical agenda (Emma Lazarus, John Greenleaf Whittier). It also takes a fresh look at poets whose work has been dismissed as sentimental (Frances Osgood), genteel (Oliver Wendell Holmes), or didactic (William Cullen Bryant).
The volume's twenty-two essays are grouped into parts: "Teaching Various Kinds of Poems," "Teaching Poets in Context," and "Strategies for Teaching." The fourth part is a selective guide to the field: an annotated bibliography of editions, anthologies, reference books, biographies, critical studies, and Web resources.

Decision Making
Making a choice from two or more alternatives.
Decision-Making Process
Identifying a problem and decision criteria and allocating weights to the criteria. Developing, analyzing, and selecting an alternative that can resolve the problem. Implementing the selected alternative. Evaluating the decision's effectiveness.
Step 1: Identifying the Problem Problem
A discrepancy between an existing and desired state of affairs.
of Problems
A problem becomes a problem when a manager becomes aware of it. There is pressure to solve the problem. The manager must have the authority, information, or resources needed to solve the problem.
Step 2: Identifying Decision Criteria Decision criteria are factors that are
important (relevant) to resolving the problem.
Costs that will be incurred (investments required) Risks likely to be encountered (chance of failure) Outcomes that are desired (growth of the firm)
Step 3: Allocating Weights to Decision criteria are not of equal importance: the Criteria
Assigning a weight to each item places the items in the correct priority order of their importance in the decision making process.
Step 4: Developing Identifying viable alternatives Alternatives
Alternatives are listed (without evaluation) that can resolve the problem.
Step 5: Analyzing • Appraising each alternative's strengths and Alternatives
An alternative's appraisal is based on its ability to resolve the issues identified in steps 2 and 3.
Step 6: Selecting an Choosing the best alternative Alternative
The alternative with the highest total weight is chosen.
Step 7: Implementing the Alternative • Putting the chosen alternative into action.
Conveying the decision to and gaining commitment from those who will carry out the decision.
Step 8: Evaluating the Decision's Effectiveness
soundness of the decision is judged by its outcomes.
How effectively was the problem resolved by outcomes resulting from the chosen alternatives? If the problem was not resolved, what went wrong?
Rational Decisions Making consistent, value-maximizing Managers make
choices with specified constraints.
Assumptions are that decision makers:
Are perfectly rational, fully objective, and logical. Have carefully defined the problem and identified all viable alternatives. Have a clear and specific goal Will select the alternative that maximizes outcomes in the organization's interests rather than in their personal interests.
Types of Problems and Structured Problems Decisions
Involve goals that clear. Are familiar (have occurred before). Are easily and completely defined—information about the problem is available and complete.
A repetitive decision that can be handled by a routine approach.
Problems and Decisions Unstructured Problems (cont'd)
Problems that are new or unusual and for which information is ambiguous or incomplete. Problems that will require custom-made solutions.
Decisions that are unique and nonrecurring. Decisions that generate unique responses.
Group Decision-making
Large groups facilitate the pooling of information about complex tasks. Smaller groups are better suited to coordinating and facilitating the implementation of complex tasks. Simple, routine standardized tasks reduce the requirement that group processes be effective in order for the group to perform well.
Group Decision-making
More complete information Increased diversity of views Higher quality of decisions (more accuracy) Increased acceptance of solutions
More time consuming (slower) Increased pressure to conform Domination by one or a few members Ambiguous responsibility
Group Decision-making Interacting Groups Techniques
Typical groups, in which the members interact with each other face-to-face. Nominal Group Technique A group decision-making method in which individual members meet face-to-face to pool their judgments in a systematic but independent fashion. Brainstorming An idea-generation process that specifically encourages any and all alternatives, while withholding any criticism of those alternatives.
Decision Trees
A graphical representation of a decision situation Decision situation points are connected together by arcs and terminate in ovals Two main components
Decision points represented by nodes Actions represented by ovals

Product Description
In Autumn 2006, Honest Jon's production team (Yucef Adel, Mark Ainley, Damon Albarn and Alan Scholefield) traveled to Algeria to set up their recording equipment in the Conservatoire d'Algiers, in front of an orchestra of thirty-one local musicians. The popular music they played - Chaabi - is unique to Algeria and to the cosmopolitan community that flourished in the post-WWII Casbah of its capital city. Though its roots reach back more than 450 years, to the Andalusian music of Moorish Spain, Chaabi also takes in the contemporary soundtrack of the era - chanson, some Jazz, snatches of Tango, a little boogie-woogie - and the result is a swirling and improvisatory sound, surging from the haunted to the bluesy, the devotional to the knees-up. Honest Jon's. 2007.

This style virtually disappeared with the independence of Algeria but leader/pianist Abdel Hadi Halo and his producers from Honest Jons have pulled a Ry Cooder here and rounded up some oldtimers for this recording. They do a really good job vocally and on their mostly Middle Eastern instruments, and they create a great, grungy atmosphere. Their names are listed, but one can't tell who's doing what on a particular track, because the album notes are entirely English translations of the lyrics. This made it necessary to look elsewhere for info, but the poetic cries to God for help with love gone wrong did add quite a bit to my appreciation of the enterprise.
The rhythms are almost hypnotic. I would recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern music.

If they didn't say no then it's not rape.

This interesting bug is cleared. Still minor ones remain: Such as moving too far "back" to the main menu when you want to see the sub menu. Great news of the world's conflicts and issues without rose to red (nor green) coloring. A must not only for desis, but also to Bhararat admirers and students. Or those who want to see beyond a sugar coating. Keeps a steady sense of humor. Allows comments to news - giving flexibility to points of view. Of course some may use this as a way to offend: Such is the price of freedom. Move OVER CNN, FOX, AlJezzira...More
