Personally, I'm going to need a deep breath before diving into this one.
I invite everyone else to do the same.
Let's be calm, collected and centered before getting to the grist of life-and-death decisions regarding the future of this community.
Let's begin with a quasi-sectarian version of the so-called "Serenity Prayer" popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
Then let's apply that to a random issue as played out through politics in the City of Santa Fe…wireless internet service, just for example.
I can accept that there are Santa Feans who, despite physical, scientific evidence and the unstoppable crush of reality, believe that Wi-Fi is tearing their brains in half and popping tumors out of their loins and making them generally unstable and insane.
I can have the courage to say, publicly, that our city government is too cowardly, yellow-bellied, tender-footed and, apparently, stupid to put this issue to bed and move on.
I can easily believe that no wisdom is technically required to know the difference between these two things.
On Feb. 9, the Santa Fe City Council voted to table a telecommunications ordinance because a very small number of people profess sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation.
Santa Fe is full of uranium, toxic plastics, exhaust fumes, radio waves, satellite beams, high-elevation sunshine, chemicals, dry cleaners, microwaves, radars—you name it—but hey, why not draw the line at internet connections?
That's just one step too far.
Sadly, in next month's municipal election, voters can only threaten two city councilors about their cowardice in the face of the massive assault against Santa Fe's spreading Wi-Fi technology. And by massive, I mean 25 people in staunch opposition.
Also, if we did elect a couple of new councilors, how do we know they wouldn't be just as—what's the term?—pussyfooted about telling Wi-Fi worriers that they can go to hell or, more diplomatically, somewhere beyond the city limits if they are so convinced that the intense urban bombardment of Santa Fe is killing them softly.
Look, I believe that people like Arthur Firstenberg, who has now famously sued his neighbor for using her iPhone, are in genuine pain and deserve sympathy and help. But the help he and his ilk need is more along the lines of physical and psychological therapies—not public policy concessions.
A few key thoughts to consider:
People who claim they are being made insane by the presence of electromagnetic radiation should, possibly, be taken at their word. This does not make them the best people to opine soundly on public policy.
People who cite GQ magazine as a source of scientific record—as those opposed to Wi-Fi did at the last City Council meeting—are clearly not competent to judge what constitutes a reliable source of objective science or to parse responsible journalism from sensationalism.
City councilors who pander to the emotional outbursts of a few citizens while opening the city up to considerable liability from lawsuits (as this most recent delay has done) and offhandedly handicapping innovation, economic development and youth retention are simply not fit to govern.
If we had at-large city councilors, this kind of alarmist fanaticism would have been shut down a couple of years ago.
Councilors loyal to a district or neighborhood (or worse, a neighbor) are evidently not capable of remembering there's a whole city at stake.
Who in our government believes the primary voices of opposition, Bill "I'm Spitting So Hard as I Yell that the Police Had to Drag Me Out" Bruno and Arthur "I Put this Podunk Town on the Map as the Place Where Neighbors Sue Over Mobile Phone Usage" Firstenberg, are presenting rational arguments? Isn't their aggressive and erratic behavior, to paraphrase Gary Larson, nature's way of saying "don't touch"?
Let's workshop the scenario facing our city councilors.
Pretend you're a government representative considering whether or not to allow a distributed antenna system and a potential boost in the strength of wireless signals.
A few constituents caution that this may present a health risk, and they have some questionable anecdotal evidence.
Others point out that approximately 25,000 largely peer-reviewed articles published over the past 30 years argue otherwise.
But you're still concerned.
Fortunately, you live smack in the center of one of the highest concentrations of scientists in the entire country.
Do you a. seek the advice of professionals in order to make the most informed decision or, b. waste all of your time meddling in the affairs of city staff, and then panic and fall apart when you're asked to vote?
Finally, let's assume the argument that Wi-Fi and electromagnetic radiation and mobile phones and ATM cards are killing us is 100 percent correct.
What happens then? Western, industrialized civilization with its banking scandals, factory farming, military industrial complexes, colonialism, energy consumption, spectacle-based society and technology fetishism will die a horrible, self-inflicted, tumor-riddled death.
For that, it is almost worth being a martyr.
Personally, I'm going to need a deep breath before diving into this one.

Been Working for 6 years strait and still going By mIKEb on 9/18/2017mIKEb would recommend this product to a friendGreat, quiet...would buy agian if it ever failed
Great Pump for the money By Chris on 6/14/2015Chris would recommend this product to a friendI just replaced an older pump with this one. I use it to pump salt water from my mixer in the basement to the tank upstairs. The pump I had before was a MP-300 and a bit overkill and pretty noisy. I usually replace between 60-100 gallons at a time. This pump is fantastic! Great water flow and I found it really quiet as well. I actually takes me longer to drain the tank than it does to replenish it with this bad boy. I really like it. It save my back from seemingly endless trips up and down the stairs.
Great pump! By Alex on 10/1/2014Alex would recommend this product to a friendBought this pump for a closed loop 75 gallon Freshwater setup. Strong flow through two NuClear canisters and UV sterilizer. One of the fins on the impeller completely broke off (unknown cause) but kept running for unknown amount of time with it cycling around in there with nothing else broken.
Pretty satisfied with it. Slightly noisy but with some good dampening pads all you really hear is the fan.
great pump By timsworld on 12/12/2013timsworld would recommend this product to a friendB.R.S. is really expensive found this same exact pump for $22
cheaper at Premium Aquatics. And free shipping.
BUYER BEWARE By Alex on 9/24/2012Alex would recommend this product to a friendThis pump only runs on one mode, BEAST MODE. When you power this thing up it reminds me of a turbo on a car spooling up.
I bought this pump to replace a Mag Drive 12 that was putting a ton of heat into my water (I was at 83F).
I hooked this up to my 75 gallon freshwater. It is pumping through...
2 Inland seas canister filters, sized down to 5/8 to go through a hydro 300w heater and a 15w UV sterilizer. This thing puts out more flow than my Mag Drive 12 with only pushing through one canister filter and heater.
The fan on this thing is LOUD. I can't stress enough to you how loud this fan is. The pump is in a 1" thick cabinet downstairs by my front door and I can hear the fan at night upstairs in my bedroom if I have the door open. Plan on putting some sort of sound dampening in your stand if you hate noise.
I haven't been able to do too much testing on water heat transfer, but the pump feels significantly cooler than my mag drive did and my water is generally around 78-79F most the time.
You get what you pay for, and regardless of the fan noise, I will never buy anything but Pan World for my externals from now on.
A Great Pump! By Robert on 5/30/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendI bought this pump and its fabulous! It works great, doesn't get hot, and definatally is worth every penny. Been running a month straight and no issues, other than pumps almost more water than my drain can come up with.
great pump By Anh on 12/10/2011Anh would recommend this product to a friendIts cheaper than iwaki pumps but perform the same I have both pumps. The only down side is the noise and wattage.
Silent monster By Phil on 10/8/2011Phil would recommend this product to a friendTo help reduce water temp I added this unit about 2 months ago. Very well built and remarkably quiet and the cooling shroud keeps the motor cool. I was a little worried because the price is less than half of the more popular pumps. well worth it.
Love the pump, hate the noise. By Tim on 8/24/2011Tim wouldn't recommend this product to a friendPump works great with closed loop system. I found it to be a bit noisy. Trying to work on quoeting it down. If I am unable I will be replacing it.
Great Pump But Loud By Joseph on 3/4/2011Joseph would recommend this product to a friendWorks awesome but considerably louder than my Sequence Dart

1 Cowgirl
319 S. Guadalupe St.
Cowgirl Karaoke's legacy has stretched for more than six years now and, for more than three of those years, it's been Michéle Leidig at the mic, hosting the busiest night at the bar. "I'm a singer without a band," Leidig says of her propensity for karaoke. In addition to the sweet $3 beer special, Monday nights bring out regular locals and visiting talent alike.
The community table of regulars that forms every night helps set the mood just as much as some of Cowgirl's more high-profile guests; Cowgirl Karaoke played host to the talents of Javier Bardem while he was filming No Country for Old Men, and Chris Kattan reportedly needs a few drinks in him before he'll bust out a tune or two. As rowdy as the crowd may get, Leidig keeps it positive.
"If I catch anyone heckling, I go over and say, 'We don't do that here.' I feel like a therapist!" Local musicians come by to let loose and career karaoke competitors bring their best game to the stage but, Leidig says, "Half the crowd that comes doesn't even sing." Perennial favorites include Love Shack, Bohemian Rhapsody and anything from the huge country repertoire, so get your performing clothes on and head downtown for a night of belting and beers.

Now that is some PDA!
In the wake of Robin Thicke's butt-grabbing scandal, he and wife Paula Patton went over-the top lovey-dovey at his album release party in Manhattan on Wednesday night.
The high school sweethearts were especially cozy on the red carpet. The "2 Guns" actress, 37, nuzzled against the "Blurred Lines" singer, 36, grabbing his face with her hands and giving him a big kiss in front of photographers. She then whispered in his ear and he smiled broadly.
Thicke had his arm around his Patton, whom he married in 2005, pulling her in close to him and resting his hand on her lower back.
Hand placement is a big deal in light of the recent photo of Thicke in which he appears to be grabbing the rear of 20-year-old socialite Lana Scolaro. The squeeze play took place at an afterparty following his racy performance with Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City last month.
Scolaro has since told Life & Style magazine that she and Thicke kissed at that night in a Greenwich Hotel suite while Patton was just a few feet away. The college student claims that Thicke told her Patton was "chill" and wouldn't mind the kiss, and that she even traveled with the couple in a limo to the party.
However, Patton's rep told Life & Style, Scolaro is "just a girl looking for some attention. Paula and Robin aren't concerned."
In fact, Thicke openly praises Patton, with whom he has a 3-year-old son named Julian, in a new interview with Prestige magazine. He actually goes beyond just praise, calling her a true lifesaver.
"I don't know if I would still be alive in some ways if it wasn't for Paula," he said. "She's been my rock, my muse, my inspiration and I love her. The whole way."
Patton, who was also interviewed, sang the same tune, telling the mag, "We're best friends. We laugh a lot."
And right now they're probably laughing a lot — at the rumors. Because from what we can see, they clearly don't look too upset about anything.

Econ professor to receive Jewel of India awardJanuary 17, 2013
An Emporia State University economics professor and native of India will receive the 2013 Hind Rattan — or Jewel of India — award later this month.
Dr. Kalyan Chakraborty will receive the award on Jan. 25, the eve of Republic Day, at the 32nd International Congress of NRIs sponsored by the NRI (Non-Resident Indians) Welfare Society of India. Dr. Manmohan Singh, prime minister of India, will present the 2013 award, which honors the outstanding contribution, services, achievements and accomplishments of Chakraborty in keeping the flag of India high in the world.
Chakraborty, who has taught in Emporia State University's School of Business since 2000, earned multiple degrees and worked in India before coming to the United States in the early 1990s to pursue higher education.
Now a U.S. citizen, Chakraborty earned degrees in economics, marketing and sales management, law and business management from Indian universities. From 1978 to 1991, he worked as a sales account executive for the eastern division of Coal India Limited, a Government of India Enterprise, in Kolkata, India.
Chakraborty earned a master's degree in resource and recreational economics from the University of Nevada, Reno, in 1994, and a doctorate in economics from Utah State University in 1998.
During his career, he has taught at the International Institute for Management Science in India, Friends University in Wichita and HKBU-BNU United International College in Zhuhai, China.
Chakraborty's love of education was instilled by his mother, a teacher for more than 40 years at a small private elementary school. To honor her, Chakraborty established the Anupama Devi Scholarship Fund, which awards five scholarships to fourth-grade students at the school. Chakraborty and his wife, Yan, also established the Kal-Yan Foundation for Academic Excellence, which awards six scholarships to students at the small village high school Chakraborty attended. The Kal-Yan scholarships include three for science and three in arts or commerce given to 11th-grade students. December 2013 will mark the 10th year the scholarships have been given.
Throughout his career, Chakraborty, who specializes in applied microeconomics, applied econometrics, international and regional economics and resource and recreational economics, has researched economic issues of both the United States and India, including looking at the non-life insurance industry in India as recently as last year.
He has delivered keynote speeches to several academic institutions and universities in India during the last decade and currently is an external doctoral dissertation advisor for several government universities in India.
Chakraborty is an avid badminton player and will represent Kansas in July 2013 at the U.S. Senior Olympics in Cleveland, Ohio, in men's singles, doubles and mixed doubles in his age group.

Broca goniometer for measuring angles of the face, France, 1862-1900
Used to measure the 'Jacquart' angle of the face, the two arms of the device are placed on either side of the skull. The vertical measure is placed on the skull so the angle from brow to jaw can be read off the graduated dial at the bottom. The 'Jacquart' angle and other measurements of the face, such as the extension of the jaw, were used by anthropologists in the 1800s to classify human types and 'races', in the mistaken belief that some human groups were more evolved than others. Human types were then placed on an evolutionary ladder, inevitably with Europeans at the top. The device was invented by Paul Broca (1824-80), a French surgeon and anthropologist.

Volleyball team in China: Day 9May 29, 2013
Don't worry guys there will be a blog today because we made it! We conquered The Great Wall of China and let me tell you it feels amazing! When we first entered the mountains we got glimpses of parts of the wall and as exciting as it looked we knew we were in for a treat. Before actually taking the climb we went through a museum full of artifacts, pictures and history behind the making and existence of The Great Wall. It blows our minds to think of how big the wall is and how much time it must have taken to build the entire thing. We learned that it took many dynasties to complete the wall for defense against invaders, but it wasn't always successful.
After the museum we started the trek up the wall. There is no amount of stair steppers we could have done to prepare us for it. Some of the steps were steep, some were skinny, and sometimes there weren't even steps at all it was just a slope straight up. It was so surreal to actually be standing on the Great Wall of China and to have such a beautiful background so we made plenty of stops to take pictures… but let's be honest the main reason we were stopping was to catch our breath and give our legs a rest. It took about an hour to get to the top of our section of the wall and to think that there were thousands of miles more is mind blowing. It's definitely an accomplishment to make it to the top because not many people can say they have had the chance to be on such a well known part of history, and also because it was very difficult on the ol' legs. The way down was a lot faster but also scarier because you don't have as good of a reading of how steep the steps are so you really have to focus on what you're doing. Most of the girls ended up just running down the steep slopes to make it easier and less painful. Sitting here writing the blog and thinking about what we got to do today still amazes me because I never thought in a million years we would get such an awesome opportunity and I know the team feels the same.
After conquering the wall we got treated to the biggest pizzas in Beijing, let alone probably the biggest pizza in America too. One pizza had 12 slices and was about as big as the table we were sitting at. Everyone dominated it and our excuse for eating so much was, "hey we just climbed The Great Wall of China we can eat whatever we want!" It was delicious and refreshing but we were all so full we should have been rolled out of the restaurant. Our food babies were definitely out to play today.
We can't believe tomorrow is our last day to enjoy China, the time has flown by. So far everything we've done has been awesome but I think everyone can agree that today tops them all because we climbed the freakin' GREAT WALL OF CHINA!

Handsome makeover for ugly AC unit
If you remember Alex's gorgeous loft, you'll know that he won't settle for ugly. Here's the latest hack in his ongoing loft project.
He says, "I have this really ugly 'motel' style ac unit that did not fit with the rest of my loft and created an unusable and unsightly area. The problem was that I rent so I had to leave the ac unit untouched, and of course, usable.
The solution I came up with was this. I found a pallet full of laminate flooring (Tundra) in the as-is section of Ikea for $14.00 a box. I bought two boxes in case I messed up some cuts and glued them to two plywood panels (Lack) cut to the size of the unit. I made an 'L' shape and attached the panels to the wall with brackets thus leaving the ac unit untouched. I then trimmed all the edges with aluminum strips from home depot.
Next problem was how to finish off the top where there would still be air flow into the room. I finally arrived at what you see here. I found some Cabinet legs in the Ikea as-is section for $8 and bought a white table top from there as well at full price (around $30). I cut the table top down width ways and attached the legs. That piece rests on top of the panels allowing air flow and access to the controls. The grass on top is fake from Michael's crafts and cost around 5 bucks a square.
Anyway, I still have a few more things to do like lighting and painting a graphic of one of my photos but so far I am happy not to have to look at that ugly ac unit again. The space is finally usable and I think, attractive. I am sure that I am not the only one with this type of problem."
35 Responses to Handsome makeover for ugly AC unit
It looks great, very creative, but I think it's a great way to waste electricity. The A/C unit pulls air in from the bottom and pushes it out through the top. It works best when there's a big difference in temperature between intake (bottom) and exit (top). Since you've capped the top, the air now hits the top and a significant portion falls downwards (cold air falls down, warm air rises)…which is right back into the intake! This is bad. The A/C unit won't be nearly as effective, which means it will need to be on longer, which means it will waste electricity. I would guess this hack would cost you $30 a month if you ran the air conditioner daily. Could be much higher if you're a heavy A/C user.
If you took the time to cut open a hole in the bottom of the front panel for the intake, and then created some sort of "tube" for the intake to pull outside air from, you would be just fine I think.
I'm sorry but this is genuis!
Beautiful room overall. Very inviting.
Thanks for all the great comments on my hack. I too was worried about air flow and heat so I thought of that when putting it together. The A/C air intake is on the bottom which I left open so it could still breathe. As far as the heat goes, hasn't been an issue because a) doesn't get that cold in La and b) it isn't that powerful of a heater anyway. In some ways it helped direct the heat outward instead of up so it warmed my spot faster.
The aluminum strips can be found at home depot or most any other big hardware store. Just ask someone there where the "angled aluminum" is or "angle iron" is. They are all in the same spot. By the way, I suggest using gorilla glue when attaching the strips of aluminum. Because the metal is non-porous, it didn't seem to stick until I used that glue.
Anyway, hope that answered some of the questions and thanks again for all the great comments. I get so much inspiration from this site and am happy to contribute.
p.s.-It was on Apartment therapy earlier so thats why it may seem like an old post.
This looks amazing! What a great idea it is. I really like your apartment by the way; very well done.
Amazing idea! I am going to try something like that with my wall A/C…

Absolutely love it! I also love that most of it from the as-is section. Truly brilliant.
I would love some more close-up photos. Hack of the year!
Bravo!! I too would like to know what the aluminum
strips are or where in Home Depot they are located – the wheels are spinning!!!
This is a great hack!. My question to the poster is what were the aluminum strips called? Would have some great uses for that with similar effect. If I can't get it here in Ottawa, Canada, I would like to see if I can order it.
What a marvelous interior! The kitchen interior is looking so rich. The lights are very appropriate for cooking. Excellent Job!
I Buy Lights
This is one of the best hacks I've seen. Wicked job!
Great idea and excellent work! I wish I also needed an A/C unit .
Geno, I think it's been on Apartment Therapy, you may have seen it there?
GREAT HACK Alex! Now I know what I need to do with my A/C unit!
This is great… but isn't it an old post?
Great idea… looks slick. But maybe next time, close the bathroom door?
This is quite cool. Hope it is not too hot where he lives, so that the A/C is able to work efficiently with so little air circulation around it.
What a fantastic idea… And the result is simply beautiful. I almost feel sorry I don't have that sort of air conditionner: I would have stolen your idea!
Nice Hack! You absolutely rocked it!
For those talking about doing this with a heating unit–I would definitely be concerned about all the glues and toxins found in these types of materials. MDF has formaldehyde in it, and lots of this kind of stuff is known to "off-gas". Plus, so much of Ikea's stuff is made from a paper/wood pulp. Seems like a bad idea to put it near a heat source.
I'm looking to find a similar project idea that might work to hide some ugly baseboard heaters in my rental unit. Any ideas? Almost anything would be a visual improvement, so all I really care about finding is something that is definitely, without-a-doubt firesafe.
This is wonderful! I have the same exact problem and I was thinking of how to fix it. I am now going to try to see if I can do something like this. I nominate this one for hack of the year.
Question, would this be safe on top of a heating unit? What kinds of materials might be safer to use for the shelf?
This looks awesome! Really, really nice.
My only question is–do you still use the AC? And if so, does it still circulate as well? I was wondering, since the vents no longer aim out at an angle. Maybe the air blows up, hits the tabletop, and then diverts outward.
Just looks so gorgeous. With no "before" photos – no one would guess what it is! Perfect!
Top Hack, put this one down on the shortlist for hack of the year 2009
Looks like a nice little mini-bar. And the A/C will keep your ice cubes from melting. Great job!
That looks great!
Awesome. Really great hack.
wow, great job, looks awesome!
So smart and crafty!
what a great looking contemporary solution…
Wow! Looks awesome!
love it!

WINTER: Cape Town Training Camp23-Feb-2012
Sussex's Club Coach Mark Davis is currently with a number of the squad in Cape Town, which sees some of County's pacemen stepping up the intensity of their training for the new campaign in a slightly warmer, if not drier, climate than Hove!
23rd February 2012
Will Adkin, Amjad Khan, Jimmy Anyon, Chris Liddle, Naveed Arif Gondal, Kirk Wernars and Craig Young of the Academy Plus are all being put through their paces in South Africa to work on specific skills before the pre-season tour next month.
The first full training session took place on Wednesday of this week but the bowling drills had barely finished when the rain came down, putting paid to the rest of the outdoor training for the day.
The squad were subsequently forced indoors and batted in the nets, as well as doing a gym session, but they were unable to do any interval training outside due to the slippery conditions.
It looks as though the sun will return for the rest of the week though and hopefully the bowlers will be able to get back outside in good conditions to continue their training.

ACADEMY: Callum Jackson Blog Week 327-Feb-2012
Sussex's young wicketkeeper-batsman Callum Jackson from the Academy has been keeping us posted on the last few days of his England U-17 tour to India.
27th February 2012
Following the last game in Pune we travelled to Mumbai and spent the last few days of our trip there and played two more games. Mumbai has a 21 million strong population; it seems like it, and the majority are absolutely mad about cricket. By 6 o'clock in the morning there must have been already over 100 cricketers netting at the cricket ground where we stayed and a huge amount of people walking around the boundary or practicing yoga on the outfield, the place was teeming with life!
The tour has now finished and it was an unforgettable experience. I have learnt a huge amount from the different cricket conditions of the sub-continent and the variety of the local bowlers I faced both in the nets and in the matches. The wicket keeping was also different from what I have previously experienced, with the slow, low wickets that had varying amounts of spin.
In addition to the cricket, as a team we had to deal with the separate pressures of training and playing in the extremely different and difficult environment that is India. One of which was dealing with a change in diet, eating curry for lunch and dinner for the whole tour. I am sure it will be a few weeks before I have a craving for curry again! Having said that India is a place like no other with its unique people, sounds, smells and colours. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last three weeks in India, on and off the field, and look forward to touring there again in the future.

Diagnosing cancer at its earliest stages often provides the best chance for a cure. With this in mind, talk with your doctor about what types of cancer screening may be appropriate for you.
For a few cancers, studies show screening tests can save lives by diagnosing cancer early. For other cancers, screening tests are recommended only for people with increased risk.
A variety of medical organizations and patient-advocacy groups have recommendations and guidelines for cancer screening. Review the various guidelines with your doctor and together you can determine what's best for you based on your own risk factors for cancer.
Your doctor may use one or more approaches to diagnose cancer:
Biopsy. During a biopsy, your doctor collects a sample of cells for testing in the laboratory. There are several ways of collecting a sample. Which biopsy procedure is right for you depends on your type of cancer and its location. In most cases, a biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose cancer.
In the laboratory, doctors look at cell samples under the microscope. Normal cells look uniform, with similar sizes and orderly organization. Cancer cells look less orderly, with varying sizes and without apparent organization.
Once cancer is diagnosed, your doctor will work to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Your doctor uses your cancer's stage to determine your treatment options and your chances for a cure.
Staging tests and procedures may include imaging tests, such as bone scans or X-rays, to see if cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer stages are generally indicated by Roman numerals — I through IV, with higher numerals indicating more advanced cancer. In some cases, cancer stage is indicated using letters or words.

TORONTO — Act to End Violence Against Women has started a new project that will help women and children living in shelters turn a new page.
The organization is planning to furnish and stock children's libraries in shelters across Canada.
Penny Krowitz, executive director of Act to End Violence Against Women, said the group embarked on the project, Turning the Page, because it wanted to create a peaceful oasis for women and their children who live in shelters.
Each library, finished in colourful and comfortable furnishings, will be equipped with a wide variety of new books suitable for children of all ages, as well as games, puzzles, and a computer with age-appropriate software.
When the children leave the shelter, Krowitz said, they're welcome to take a favourite book with them to their new home.
"These kids have had a lot of upheaval in their lives, and sometimes they're left with nothing. Getting a new book is important, because it is the beginning of a new life," she said. "Research shows that children who are abused or live with abuse are often educationally delayed. This also gives them the opportunity to increase their literacy."
The first library was opened in Montreal, said Krowitz, at Auberge Transition, a shelter for women and children who have been victims of violence. The next library, in Toronto, is set to open at Women's Habitat of Etobicoke.
In a letter of appreciation, Auberge Transition executive director Irene Jansson said that the library "is without a doubt one of the best gifts given to the children and their mothers. This space allows them to be the children they are.
"I have seen first hand the difference this library has made in the lives of the children, and I know that other shelters will also see the benefits associated with this project."
Krowitz said that one of the mothers at Auberge Transition said that she was touched that someone cared enough to provide something extra for them. "It made her feel worthwhile."
She said that Act to End Violence Against Women has partnered with organizations and private donors to fund the project – each library costs about $12,000 – including the Canadian Children's Book Centre, a national, not-for-profit organization, dedicated to encouraging, promoting and supporting the reading, writing, illustrating and publishing of Canadian books for young readers.
Krowitz said the group has also partnered with Shaarei Shomayim Congregation's youth and chesed committees.
"We are willing to partner with any group across the country that is interested, and donations of new books are welcome. We stress that the books need to be new, because we want the children to feel worthwhile and special."
Act to End Violence Against Women is holding a fundraiser, Turning the Page, Transforming Lives, on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Columbus Centre, featuring Toronto Star reporter Barbara Turnbull, who was shot and severely disabled during a robbery in 1983, when she was 18 years old.
Krowitz said they invited Turnbull, a "journalist, survivor and self-described trouble maker" to speak because she is "a survivor who turned her tragedy into a wonderful life."
