November. proper noun. Meg March calls it "the most disagreeable month in the whole year." At least we have Thanksgiving.
I don't have much to say on November, mostly because I'm not sure where it went. It was cold and dark, that I remember. I read a million 7th grade essays, more or less. And now, here we are, on the front end of the holiday season, rapidly approaching the end of the year. I'm not sure where 2017 went, either. How did all those days go by? And what on earth did I do with them?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Those questions can wait another month. For now, here's November's recap.
A lot. Especially, oddly, nonfiction.
The Great Divorce – C.S. Lewis. A church in town put on a production of this, so I read the actual book in preparation. It is perplexing in the best way possible. It's fun to read more of Lewis and see his views on heaven being the truest sense of reality woven throughout. This is one to come back to again.
Ex Libris – Anne Fadiman. This little collection of essays about the joys of books and reading is a delight. Anne Fadiman is whip-smart and observant and may have the world's best vocabulary. The essay on reading aloud may be my favorite.
The Dog Says How – Kevin Kling. I enjoy Kevin Kling a lot – his interview with Krista Tippett on the On Being podcast is one of my favorites – and you can practically hear his voice narrating all of these essays. He's quirky and funny and reflective, and I love all of his Minnesota references and the honest way he talks about disability.
The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy – Peitra Rivoli. I've been doing boatloads of reading about ethical fashion (see this post if you missed it), and this book was fascinating. It's a bit dense – my boyfriend will actually have to read it for an upcoming grad school class – but the stories are well-told. Highly recommended if you want to know the nitty-gritty of where your clothes come from.
Bomb – Steve Sheinkin. This is the story of the race to create the first atomic bomb and all of the espionage behind the scenes. It's technically a YA book, but I learned a ton, the stories are intriguing, and it did a good job of discussing the moral conundrum the scientists faced. I may have dreamed that everyone I knew was going to die in a war the night I finished it (can you say highly sensitive person?), but it's definitely worth the read.
Need– Joelle Charbonneau. Students in a small Wisconsin town begin to join a new social media site, where users type what they need onto the message board. They are then given a task to complete, and when they do so their "need" is fulfilled. The tasks start small (invite 6 people to this site), but soon escalate. This book is suspenseful and felt frighteningly possible. I didn't love the ending, but other than that? Couldn't put it down.
Auggie and Me – R.J. Palacio. A student brought me her own copy of this and told me I had to read it immediately if I liked Wonder. So I did. It's a sweet addition. It also made me more excited to see the movie (and I am a terrible English teacher, because I haven't yet!).
Caraval – Stephanie Garber. I have mixed feelings about this book. There was so much potential. Scarlett dreams of being invited to a magical game called Caraval. Once she arrives, she finds that her sister has been kidnapped, and she must save her to win the game. The mood feels much like The Night Circus, or at it least strives to. But unfortunately things just didn't click for me. Scarlett and the rest of the characters don't really develop for most of the book, and then do in the space of one scene. There are so many plot twists that I had to Google whether there is a sequel, or if there was just something I misunderstood. The setting is too ambiguous to be truly captivating – I could never entirely visualize what was happening. The plot is intriguing, and I was definitely sucked in, but the ending left me unsatisfied and emotionally muddled. That said, I know people who LOVE this book, so it might be worth a shot for you.
Daughter of a Pirate King – Tricia Levenseller. This book tells the story of, you guessed it, the daughter of a pirate king who is on a secret mission for her father. She lets herself be kidnapped, and can't reveal her true nature (and also can't fall for her handsome, strangely kind kidnapper). It was fine. It might fly with the perfect audience – perhaps a girl who likes fairy tales and pirate stories, but is old enough to handle sexual tension? I don't know any of those. Read the Bloody Jack series instead.
Currently reading: A Rule Against Murder – Louise Penny. Watch for the Light readings for Advent.
At this second? Music for Advent. I'm following the traditional church calendar more intentionally this year, so I'm trying to save the Hark the Herald Angels Sing sort of tunes for closer to Christmas Day. To fill the gaps, I'm creating my own Advent playlist, with plenty of inspiration from this and this. A favorite: May You Find a Light by Josh Garrels.
Otherwise this month has been all about this jazz-filled playlist.
Flipped. I grew up absolutely loving this book, and I was terrified to watch the movie when it came out years ago. What if they wrecked it? But they didn't. It was everything it should be.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I hadn't watched any of these movies since going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now I am dying to go back.
The Great British Baking Show, season 2. I can't quit that show. Brita and I want to adopt Mary's word "scrummy."
I don't love this article, exactly, but it is food for thought for all the teachers wondering why kids seem like crazy people.
This lasagna soup recipe. The hosts on the Sorta Awesome podcast talk about it all the time, and really, it is delicious.
The Thankful Tree in my classroom. I like my kids best when I remember that they are actual human beings with real lives and hearts. Seeing what they're grateful for helps.
The Christmas treats have arrived at Trader Joe's! Give me all the chocolate-covered candy cane Jo-Jos.
Ikea. This is actually a love-hate relationship. How can a place so inexpensive add up to so much at the cash register? But I now have an actual curtain situation in my bedroom, plus these fabulous gold stars hanging over my bed.
Taking a bus to visit Adam. Overnight Greyhound rides are an adventure. The police only had to escort people off the bus once. (No, I'm not kidding. No, I was not in danger.) Otherwise, the trip was delightful. We went to Die Valkyerie, the opera famous for the Ride of the Valkyeries and my first foray into the world of really long operas. I still need some practice at fully appreciating them, but watching women riding horses "flying" over the stage while singing certainly was epic. The next day, we made it to the Museum of Science and Industry, and the U-boat exhibit was just as impressive as I remember. Dear friends happened to be Chicago the same weekend, and squeezing in breakfast with them on my final morning in town was the best surprise.
Celebrating Thanksgiving. My family members are delightful weirdos, who also make some good Thanksgiving food. As a bonus, my dad was able to surprise my sister at the airport when she flew in from California, and she stayed with me for a few extra days. Sneaking in a day with Adam and his family (and cutting down a real Christmas tree!) was lovely, too.
Finishing up the first trimester of school. I survived essay grading season. Barely. I also started up a weekly Creative Writing Club for girls. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it sure is fun.
As always, I'm linking up with Leigh Kramer. What have you been into this month?

Evidence Of Another Human Species
9 August 2012BBC News:
The discoveries suggests that at least three distinct species of humans co-existed in Africa.
The research adds to a growing body of evidence that runs counter to the popular perception that there was a linear evolution from early primates to modern humans.
The findings were published in the "Nature" journal.
Although the human race has developed enough to successfully land rovers on Mars, there is still so much of the universe (especially, its past) that we do not understand. Mind-boggling amounts, really.

My AmeriCorps Release 3 AmeriCorps State Commissions and Programs User Roles and Management – Understanding & Planning Presentation developed for the Corporation for National and Community Service by the eGrants Coaching Unit JBS International, Aguirre Division (2008); 1-888-333-8272 1
Introduction eGrants Coaching Unit The following presentation is designed for state commissions and programs. This presentation will help users understand the user roles as well as the access levels within the My AmeriCorps system. You must have an eGrants account in order to access My AmeriCorps functions.* eGrants is the Corporation for National and Community Services grant application and management system and the gateway to the My AmeriCorps system. *For details on how to create an eGrants account, please watch the tutorial on Create and Manage an eGrants Account.Create and Manage an eGrants Account 2

Important Considerations All of the My AmeriCorps tutorials and webinars focus on the functionality of the system rather than grant requirements or program policies. The My AmeriCorps system does not include comprehensive compliance checks. We recommend that programs set their own policies around system use and monitor usage for compliance. However, we suggest that programs give some thought to how they assign roles and access so that they are comfortable with the level of authority they are giving their users. If they have questions they should contact their Program Director or Program Officer. eGrants Coaching Unit 4
Grantee Administrator User Role Defined Grantee Administrator: o is an eGrants user role that gives full access to My AmeriCorps functionality. o Grantee Admins at the state commission will have access to all grants, operating sites (or sub-grantees/programs), and service locations at the legal applicant organization. o Grantee Admins at the state programs/sub-grantees will have access to all grants (or operating sites) and service locations at the legal applicant organization. o can approve all requests (please contact your Program Officer for guidance on business practices). o manages organizational information and all users at the legal applicant organization. 5 eGrants Coaching Unit

Prime Operating Site Service Location Grantee Member Management: Manages grant(s), program(s), and/or service location(s) and members, including enrollment. This role requires an additional level of access: Grantee Admin must assign a My AmeriCorps user role:

eGrants Coaching Unit Grantee Member Management Role at the Service Location Level 13 Q: Who can be assigned to the service location level? A: The operating site, and service location staff. Q: So staff at the operating site can be assigned to the service location level? A: Yes, user role assignment does not necessarily have to align with staff role. The program determines how user management is structured; however, your state commission may have guidelines. Please check with your Program Officer if you have any questions. Q: Can I exit or suspend a member? A: You can create the request, but will need a user with operating site level to approve it. Q: Can I edit slot information? A: This level does not have the capability to edit slot information. Q: Can I change the information to my service location? A: Yes, you can manage the information to the service location(s) to which you are assigned.
Grantee Member Management Role at the Operating Site Level 14 eGrants Coaching Unit Q: Who can be assigned to the operating site level? A: Program/sub-grantee staff can be assigned to this level. Q: Can I invite an applicant to apply to a service opportunity listing? A: Yes, you can invite an applicant by creating an invitation in My AmeriCorps. You can also complete the registration form on behalf of the applicant if he/she does not have access to a computer or the internet. Q: Can I transfer a member? A: You can request to transfer a member between programs. You dont need access to the new program to perform this action. However, only state commission staff can approve a transfer-in and out requests. Q: Can I request to suspend a member? A: Yes, not only can you create the request, but you can also approve the suspension. Q: Can I create a Service Location and assign a member to it? A: Absolutely! You can create a service location for the operating site to which you are assigned.
Grantee Member Management Role at the Prime Level 15 eGrants Coaching Unit Q: Who can be assigned to the prime level? A: Only state commission staff can be assigned to the prime level. For example, a staff member can be assigned to manage one or more grants. Q: Can I change a members term of service past after 90 days of a members start date? A: Only the Grantee Admin at the state commission can approve this change of term of service. Q: Can I transfer slots? A: Yes, you can transfer slots within formula or competitive portfolios of the same grant year. Q: Can I edit my grant information? A: Yes, you can edit information relating to the grant(s) to which you are assigned, as well as the operating sites, and service locations associated with that grant. Q: Can I search for programs? A: Yes, you can search the programs or operating sites associated to the assigned grant(s).

POLYMERS FOR EUROPE ALLIANCE: Register for free to the Alliance for all polymer users in Europe
Your online information platform free of charge, confidential and open to all parties who have an interest in the competitive conversion of polymers in Europe
Interested? THEN REGISTER HERE and get access to a wide range of documents, including:
Current polymer market situation and production capacity
EU Import Duties Suspensions / Quotas proceedings
Force Majeure Analysis
Legal guidance on joint purchasing agreements
For any questions, please contact Eva Schneider at Polymer Comply Europe via email@example.com. For more information, check out our website.
Alliance Objectives
- Provide factual public information on the status of the polymer supply situation in Europe.
- Re-establish a constructive dialogue with the supply base.
The reliability of the European polymer producing industry has recently created concerns as more than 40 force majeure situations have been declared in a period of only four months in the first semester 2015. Due to this sudden material shortage, production lines across Europe have been forced to stop at the plastics converting level, alarming brand owners and OEMs. Meanwhile, raw material prices have risen to record highs due to this shortage of materials. Although the situation has calmed down now, it clearly has demonstrated the importance of our industry working together to be better prepared for such events.
What else can the Alliance offer you?
- Assist raw material users through the EuPC network of national plastics associations as well as request suspension of certain EU import duties to relieve shortages on polymer markets.
- Initiate a study on the competitiveness of the plastics converters in Europe, together with industry and independent experts, in order to compare the industries competitiveness to global competition.
- Provide legal assistance for companies that seek legal action against their polymer suppliers due to erroneous force majeure declarations.
- Best European Polymer Producer Award: Plastics converters in Europe rate their polymer suppliers regarding specific criteria which will lead to the nomination of the Best European Polymer Producers (online at end of 2015).

Turkey and Wild Rice Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Wild rice, turkey, cranberries, and a can of mushroom soup join our Midwestern translation of this treasured old-world classic.
Rate This!
Turkey and Wild Rice Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Rate This!
- In a medium saucepan cook rice mix according to package directions, adding the onion with the rice. Cool completely. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in turkey and the cranberries or raisins. Meanwhile, trim heavy center vein from each cabbage leaf. In a large amount of boiling water cook cabbage leaves, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain well.
- Place about 1/2 cup of the filling in the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold over both sides and roll up; secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- In a 12-inch skillet thoroughly combine soup or gravy and yogurt. Arrange the cabbage rolls, seam side down, in the sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Spoon sauce onto serving plates. Set rolls atop sauce. If desired, garnish with sliced red onion and sage leaves. (Remove and discard toothpicks, if used.) Makes 8 rolls or 4 servings.
From the Test Kitchen
Place the filled cabbage rolls in a covered storage container and chill for up to 24 hours. Cook rolls in soup mixture as above until no pink remains in filling.

"An Austrian `Pastafarian` won the right to wear a pasta strainer on his head in his driving license photo after a three-year struggle.
Niko Alm, an atheist blogger who asked to have his driver`s license photo taken with a colander on his head, was finally found fit to drive by a psychologist, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday, and was allowed to take his official picture with the strainer on his head."
If Jews, Muslims and members of other religions are allowed to wear caps to denote allegiance to their respective religions, Alm has a right to wear a pasta strainer on his noggin to demonstrate allegiance to his satirical faith.
Alm is a member of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a mock religion with beliefs that are no more ridiculous than those of Judaism, Christianity or Islam.
The Austrian government clearly discriminates against atheists, why did Alm have to be examined by a psychologist before he was issued his driver`s license? Muslims who believe that martyrs will be rewarded with a harem of virgins in heaven, don`t have to undergo a mental exam.
Kudos to Alm for making his point in a humorous manner!

Foot pain prevention
Keep your feet healthy and pain-free
Feet can take a beating, especially during the summer months when people tend to go barefoot and the air can be hot and dry. Here we will discuss common sources of foot pain and what you can do to prevent it and keep your feet in great condition.
1. Give your feet a break
Wear sandals when you are outside to give your feet some air. Your feet can be cramped and painful if they are always in shoes that don't give them any room to breathe. Walk barefoot when you can, but do not do it on surfaces that will be harmful or abrasive to your feet. However, if you are diabetic you should never walk barefoot, not even indoors.
2. Wear good shoes
The best way to prevent foot pain (and get rid of it) is to wear some good shoes! Shoes are the things that your feet spend the most time in every day, so it is important to get some that fit you correctly and are comfortable. Choose shoes that have a good sole and great arch support. If you want to fix the shoes you already have, go to the pharmacy and buy some insoles to put in your shoes that will give you support and comfort. You can buy a pair of these to put in each of your shoes.
3. Don't wear heels!
Heel put unnecessary pressure on your feet, and they force all of your body weight to the balls of your feet, which will cause your foot more strain and pain. If you absolutely cannot give up the heels, choose the lowest heel possible. A 2-inch heel will put less strain on your feet than a 5-inch heel.
4. Don't wear flip flops!
If you have long distances to walk, forgo the flip flops and wear tennis shoes. Flip flops do not have the proper support that your feet need, and you will end up regretting your choice. Wear some tennis shoes or some walking shoes that are made for walking for long periods of time.
5. Go to the foot doctor
If you feel or sense any kind of problem with your feet, it is time to call the foot doctor. Make an appointment with your primary doctor first, because he or she will be able to decide whether or not you need to see a specialist, or if it is just a problem that you can fix with some kind of over the counter solution.

The Ideal Business Model:
I think that a valuable startup exercise would be to do a wholesale survey of all emerging technology in the promotion, selling, and distribution of online porn, and then ask yourself which of those technologies and/or approaches could show up first and most compellingly in broader markets. When you think you've got it kinda figured out, launch a company around it for non-porn markets.If the artsy subjects can dress up porn and shroud it in some academic garb, why not the biz skools, too? See this (reg. req'd for the full article):
What should be on the reading list if I were to propose a course on "The economics of pornography"?
At Wesleyan University, "grade inflation" has taken on a whole new meaning: One student earned an "A" — for filming another student masturbating.
In his seminar "Pornography: Writing of Prostitutes," Professor Hope Weissman requires students to create their own pornography project, either video, essay or live project. "I don't put any constraints on it," said Weissman. "It's supposed to be: 'Just create your own work of pornography.' "
Wesleyan University is not alone. UC-Berkeley, New York University, UC-Santa Cruz, UMass-Amherst, Chapman University and Northwestern University have all developed "porn curricula." At Arizona State University, a "Sexuality in the Media" course requires students to watch porn flicks such as "Deep Throat."

Almost heaven, the Escalante is a vast area of fascinating canyons cut into Navajo and Wingate Sandstone, with abundant arches, lush streams and lovely vistas. It is quite a place, not the least for its vastness and variety. Both single and multiple day adventures are possible, thanks to steady supplies of beautiful water in many canyons. The number of published technical thrash-fests are few; the number of divine, incredible explorations high. The level of adventure is high - please help keep it this way.
The Escalante is a traditional-style canyoneering area. Please do not place bolts.
Special Considerations
The Escalante is spread out. It often takes an hour or more to drive to your trailhead from the main road. Be sure to plan your travel, and have enough water, food and fuel to avoid emergencies. No water is available outside of town and a few key spots. This is a big, wild place - treat it with respect.
For technical canyoneers, please respect the wilderness nature of the Escalante canyons. Almost all of the canyons in the Escalante have been descended without the use of drilled anchors - please respect the local standard, and come prepared to descend difficult canyons without drilling. Advanced natural anchor skills will also allow you to descend with little trace of your passage. Please.
This archive represents many of the first canyons I attempted to elucidate for the benefit of fellow desert lovers, and the descriptions are... what they are. Juvenalia. A bit rough, compared to the current level of polish. Many people still find them useful, however, so let's keep them available, with the understanding that they have not been maintained and thus should be read with a grain of salt.

18 years after the watershed cinema moment of 'Boys Don't Cry', Hotpencil Press and Trans Creative present 'Boys Don't Cry – Boys Create', an evening of Trans Masculinity, reclaimed and re-spun.
For the last 18 years trans and gender nonconforming artists have been telling our own stories, performing our own narratives, demanding to be seen. This new show explores ways to show our bodies and our worlds as they are lived. Not through a mainstream lens! Not with fetishisation! Not with death and destruction! All hail the new 21st Century Boys!
Artists include Husk, Elijah W Harris with Tallulah Rose Haddon, Jamie Hale, Krishna Istha and more tba.
Following the performance event Zorian Clayton of BFI Flare will host a panel to discuss the legacy of 'Boys Don't Cry' and the trans masculine experience on stage and screen over the past two decades.
Event curated by Dr B. and Serge of Hotpencil Press ('There Is No Word For It', 'The (Trans) Mangina Monologues', 'The Butch Monologues').
Supported by Arts Council England and Superbia at Manchester Pride.
Five years in the making, After 82 looks back over these years using first-hand personal accounts from the people who were affected and those people and organisations that were, and still are, there to support them. What makes this documentary unique is that for many, this is the first time they have ever spoken publicly about what really happened.
Peter Tatchell: 'Living through the AIDS pandemic was like living through a war.'
Jonathan Blake: 'That was it, I was going to commit suicide.'
Lord Norman Fowler: 'The ward was full of young men dying of AIDS and there was nothing we could do about it.'
The film is directed/produced both by Steve Keeble and Ben Lord and was made over a five-year period and narrated by Dominic West.
It is their first feature film.
Steve Keeble is a film-maker. He studied BA (Hons) Film Production at London Southbank University.
He previously worked as occasional actor and appeared in EastEnders (BBC) and Holby City (BBC).
Ben Lord studied BA (Hons) Film Studies at London Southbank University. He is a film-maker/writer and
photographer. Ben wrote a play called Voice, which is based on the documentary After 82 and was performed
at ImmerCity Theatre. He has also worked as casting director and location manager. His previous work
includes EastEnders (BBC), New Tricks (BBC) and Holby City (BBC).
Following the film we will be hosting a Q & A with both film makers Steve Keeble and Ben Lord. We are also lucky to have available to answer any questions about the early days is Jonathan Blake, actor and was a member of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. He was diagnosed with HIV in the early 1980s. The BAFTA award-winning actor Dominic West portrayed Jonathan in the film Pride. PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE LIMITED SEATS STILL AVAILABLE FOR THIS EVENT.

St Ann to get Bob Marley's One Love Square
It was December 1976, a period of intense political tribalism and violence in Jamaica. Things really got out of hand as the leaders of the two major political parties had lost control of the situation.
To bring back the love and unity, reggae icon Robert Nesta Marley decided to perform at a peace concert called Smile Jamaica at Heroes Circle in Kingston. The then prime minister, Michael Manley, and Opposition Leader Edward Seaga would be in attendance.
Hours before the show, Marley, his wife Rita, and producer Don Taylor were shot at the Marleys' home at 56 Hope Road in St Andrew. They were rushed to hospital, but Bob Marley, after being treated for gunshot wounds to his hand, and against the advice of family, friends and associates, turned up at the show to perform. He was not daunted by the attempt to kill him.
And on Saturday, December 3, Tuff Gong International hosted a Smile Jamaica concert at The Bob Marley Museum, housed in the building in which the Marleys and Taylor were shot, to mark the 40th anniversary of the original Smile Jamaica concert.
Despite the bumper crowd that turned out and some electrifying performance from Third World, Stephen, Kymani, Damian Marley, and others, the biggest news of the night was the announcement of the establishment of the Bob Marley's One Love Square at Grizzly's Plantation Cove in St Ann, Marley's birth parish.
The well-received announcement was made by Robert Bryan, executive chairman of Grizzly's Plantation Cove Limited, in the presence of Pratik Ruparell and Danny Wagstaff of PDP Entertainment, Grizzly's strategic partners, based in Canada. Among other things, Bryan told the audience that Grizzly's and the Marley Group of Companies are finalising the agreement to officially name the entertainment hub to be located in the park.
The Bob Marley's One Love Square will be the official home of the annual Smile Jamaica concert to be held on or about December 5, "to celebrate the peace, love and unity value that Marley used his entire life and worked to promote around the world", Bryan said.
Grizzly's will be working with Stephen Marley as co-executive producer of the show, which Bryan said "will showcase a variety of local talent and world-renowned artistes".
The vision of the collaborators is the establishment of an integrated theme park on 235 acres on which there will be an entertainment hub, with permanent entertainment facilities to promote live entertainment, and other events, a family amusement park with facilities for sports and camping.
Bob Marley's image and brand will be manifested throughout the square. They will include permanent art exhibitions inclusive of original art and large-format photos. A new statue of Marley will be mounted in the square.
"In this square, through the sharing of music, cuisine, and the visual arts, everyone will enjoy the love of earth and the gift of life and the essence of the Jamaican lifestyle," Bryan said.

Madeleine Lindley is expanding. Again. Although the lady herself remains an enviable size 10, her eponymous bookselling empire near Manchester is growing once more, as it has done year on year since 1988.
That was when Madeleine, a 40-year-old primary advisory teacher with the Manchester Literacy Project, told her husband Mike that she wanted to give up her job and open a bookshop in their garage. For years, first as a class teacher then in the advisory services, she'd been frustrated at how long it took to choose and acquire good quality books to support teachers' work.
She wanted to provide a service "bridging the gap between the best children's literature and the children in the schools". Mike, a banker, supported her from the start, advising on the financial side of the venture and agreeing to park his car in the street for the foreseeable future.
Those early days were fun but hard work. With the help of her family, Madeleine lugged round endless boxes of books to set up displays for schools and conferences, and built up a reputation for carefully-selected collections for different age groups, provided by mail order. She worked all hours, and although she soon took on her first member of staff, Carmel Sandham, she took no salary for more than a year.
In summer 1989 the Lindleys returned from holiday to find next term's books had been delivered and the garage full. At first Madeleine stood and wept - then she realised this was a sign of success and the bookshop had to find bigger premises.
Within 24 hours they'd rented a small business unit - 400sq ft - at the Acorn Centre in Oldham. Family and friends helped clean, scrape and paint, buy display units and ferry in books in time to open for business the following Monday. Now they could expand the stock, and visitors began to appear to browse and ask advice. Within a year they had to take on another 2,000sq ft of showroom space, and the following year 2,000 more.
It wasn't long before Mike gave up his job to become full-time financial director, and soon the name of Madeleine Lindley Ltd was known and respected. I first heard it in Hong Kong, where I'd been sent by a publisher to promote a reading scheme. "Don't need it," said the headteachers I met. "We get all our books from Madeleine Lindley. She makes the selections and ships them straight out. Exactly what we want."
As the business flourished, a move to purpose-built premises became essential. In autumn 1997 operations were transferred to the Book Centre, an enormous purpose-built unit in the Broadway Business Park at Chadderton near the M62. It is beautifully designed and fitted out in white and Harrods green, with comfy sofas to sink into while you browse. "We wanted to make it somewhere teachers could come and choose books in really lovely surroundings," says Madeleine. "They work so hard with so little recognition - we wanted to offer them a bit of care and attention."
She has succeeded. When I arrive as an anonymous primary teacher wandering in off the street, I am welcomed into a paradise of children's books, offered coffee and given the choice of a guided tour or a solo wander. Everyone is chummy, knowledgeable and smiling - I feel as though I've landed among friends.
Oh, and the joy of it - shelf upon shelf of poetry, picture books, "longer reads", "shorter reads", National Literacy Strategy selections for each year, books for every conceivable project or national curriculum target. Like every other teacher in the building, I am enraptured. I want to bring my sleeping bag and live here.
Interviewing the Lindleys the next day, it is easy to see the reason for their success. They are all - Madeleine, Mike and now their two daughters, Rachelle and Amelia - committed to the educational ideals underlying their business enterprise.
They now employ more than 30 people (Carmel from the garage days is still with them), but the expertise in children's literature which made those early book boxes a commercial proposition has not been sacrificed. "Who reads the books?" I ask. "We all do," says Madeleine, "because we're all mad about them."
So now they're embarking on a pound;1.5m expansion, three years earlier than Mike projected. With more than 1,000 visitors a month, including teachers turning up now in coach parties from as far away as Southampton, and a growing mail order business, Book Centre already needs more showroom space.
The business is also expanding into training. It already runs a successful programme of talks by children's authors, and schools are increasingly interested in visiting the showroom on school closure days, combining staff training with a selection of resources. Madeleine is also planning a series of summer seminars about the new literacy training programme, Early Years, she's just imported from Australia.
By the end of next year Book Centre should have doubled in size yet again, with new buildings including conference and exhibition facilities for up to 200 people. The success of the business is a testament to the hard work of the Lindley family and their team. Despite the Government's standards fever, and OFSTED's fearsome cracking of the phonics whip, they believe that the teaching of literacy is not merely a question of developing a sequence of skills.
It's also about books, stories, enjoyment and enrichment; about bridging that "gap between the best children's literature and the children in the school". Teachers, from Blackpool to Bangkok, clearly agree.

Yesterday I mentioned China's multi-billion dollar investment in countries like Brazil and Pakistan. These investments are not just opportunistic and ad-hoc. They are part of a much broader strategy. And there's a way you can profit from them too.
But it won't be in the way you're probably thinking. That is, via the commodities sector. While there is some good value emerging in certain areas of the commodities space, I'm talking about latching onto an emerging trend that very few investors are even considering right now.
First, let's go back to China's strategy and what it means….
It had its genesis in a September 2013 speech by President Xi Jinping. The speech evoked memories of the old Silk Road trading routes…and the importance to China of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe in terms of trade.
In the following months, Xi and other officials made more announcements about their plans for the 'new' Silk Road. Xi referred to the strategy as 'one road, one belt'.
In short, the strategy involves 'rebuilding' ancient trade routes to facilitate modern trade. Land and sea routes are part of this massive plan. Over the next decade or so, China will spend hundreds of billions of dollars building the necessary infrastructure to improve trade links with its western neighbours.
That means roads, rail, water ports, electricity systems, pipelines etc…from western China all the way through to the edge of Europe.
That's what the US$46 billion investment in Pakistan I mentioned yesterday is all about. Pakistan is an important part of the Silk Road strategy as it will be a conduit for Middle Eastern oil, via the Pakistani Port of Gwadar.
Pakistan is not the most stable country though, so massive investment in basic infrastructure like electricity generation is required as a first step to reduce risk. Increased trade and investment will create jobs, which is a crucial aspect of creating a more stable society.
But Pakistan is just the start. You can expect to see much more of these types of projects in the years to come. The main vehicle for financing this investment is the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
This is a multilateral bank set up by China. So far, there are about 60 member countries, including Australia, who joined the bank in March this year.
You may remember the furore it caused. The US didn't want its allies, including Australia, to join. That's because the AIIB threatens to undermine the influence of both the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank, institutions predominantly run and controlled by Washington.
But Australia, the UK and most of Europe didn't listen. They all signed up to the AIIB, which is expected to launch officially by the end of this year. Only the US, Japan and Canada remain opposed to joining.
The member countries will contribute a total of US$100 billion to the bank, to be used as seed capital to finance infrastructure projects.
But that's not all. In November 2014 China announced the establishment of a US$40 billion Silk Road Infrastructure Fund. It made its first investment in April this year, a US$1.65 billion hydropower project in Pakistan, part of the broader investment in Pakistan mentioned above.
The aim of the Silk Road Infrastructure Fund is to increase capacity and boost connectivity across the Eurasian and Australasian regions, via land and sea.
You're probably starting to see now that the scope of this project is massive. This is going to reshape the global economy in the decades ahead, and shift the balance of power away from the US and towards China.
I go into more detail on this shifting dynamic in my special report on the topic, which you'll get in your inbox tomorrow. Suffice to say, China is taking a very different approach to the US in its rise to global economic dominance.
China doesn't want the same role as the US currently has. It doesn't want to police the world and it doesn't want the yuan to be the world's reserve currency. It knows that by the US dollar fulfilling this role for decades, it has created huge distortions and imbalances in the global economy…and speculative and fragile financial markets.
I'll expand on all this tomorrow. For now, understand that trade based infrastructure is the big emerging trend in the global economy right now.
I'll be honest. I'm pretty bearish on a lot of things; central banks have turned stock markets into casinos, politicians around the world are myopic fools, savers are sacrificed to help the debtors…I could go on and on.
But I am bullish about China's attempts to redraw the global economic map. Trade-based infrastructure investment is productive investment. Productivity is the driving force behind economic growth, jobs, and wealth creation.
This is not going to happen overnight. But if the investment dollars flow, and continue to flow, without too much government interference, then we might climb out of the global debt hole we're in a little faster than I currently expect.
And the money does look like it will continue to flow. As well as China's long-term efforts, there are other things going on.
In the recent budget, the Australia's Federal Government announced a $5 billion infrastructure fund for Northern Australia. This is basically a low interest loan designed to supplement private investment. So potentially, the infrastructure investments in the years to come could be multiples of this amount.
The Northern Australia development fund ties in nicely with China's Silk Road Fund. All this investment is about building the infrastructure to get goods to markets faster…it's about efficient trade distribution routes, whether by road, rail, or sea.
And now Japan is joining the new infrastructure age, too. From today's Wall Street Journal:
'TOKYO—Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday unveiled a plan to expand Japan's financing for infrastructure projects in Asia by 30%, suggesting Tokyo's intent to counter China's push to spearhead a new regional investment bank.
'Mr. Abe pledged to offer roughly $110 billion in the next five years to fund "high-quality infrastructure investments" in Asia through various channels, including expanding the Asian Development Bank's lending capacity and yen loans from the Japanese government.'
Yes folks, we're heading into a 'Golden Age of Infrastructure'. The Asian region will see hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure investment in the years to come.
Yes, this is a positive for commodities. But resources aren't the main game this time. There's another sector set to dominate. The competition for work will be fierce, but there are a few Aussie companies ideally placed to benefit from this emerging new trend.
To find out more about how to play this trend, keep an eye out for my special report tomorrow.

For a long time we have believed that plants and trees are individuals, standing alone in a never ending competition for food and light, incapable of communicating with each other or interacting with the world around them. I mean would you actually believe it if someone told you that trees can communicate? Because funnily enough they can, just not exactly in the same way that we do.
Science is radically changing the way that we think about trees, which happen to be far more astonishing and sophisticated than we previously thought. Trees – especially in forests – have an incredible ability to act like a single organism, and even communicate (in a way likened to how humans communicate via the internet) using chemical compounds and electrical signals which are transmitted through vast interconnected networks of fungi which form symbiotic relationships with trees.
This peculiar partnership has been taking place for millions of years, and it depends a lot on the incredible abilities of fungi. Fungi are not exactly like plants or animals, but somewhere in between the two. Their structure makes them more similar to insects, due to a substance found in their cell walls (chitin) which is never found in plants. Fungi cannot photosynthesise and instead depend on organic partnerships with other living organisms which they can feed on.
The term, first coined the "wood wide web' by the journal Nature, refers to networks of fungi which infiltrate the forest floor on an unbelievable scale. The largest organism known to man is a fungal network, which covers an area of 8.4 square kilometres and is believed to be 2,400 years old.
Fungi have spindly filaments which entwine themselves into the fine hairs of the root systems of trees forming a mycorrhiza, and thus – like fibre optic cables – connect trees to one and other beneath the ground, like a giant network of computers. The reason fungi has adapted to interact with trees in this manner is actually beautifully simple: fungi can increase the mineral uptake of host trees which they are connected to and filter out harmful pollutants from the soil. In exchange the fungi receive a share of the host's sugars – up to one third in some cases.
The mycorrhiza network branches out, weaving its way through the soil into the roots of baby saplings and ancient parent trees alike, extending the reach of any single tree far beyond it's own root system. According to Peter Wohlleben in 'The hidden life of trees', a single fungus can span an entire forest covering many square miles. This network enables trees to send chemical (systemic response chemicals or SRC's) and electrical signals from one tree to the next, sharing news about bugs, drought and other dangers. Amazingly, just one teaspoon of forest soil contains many miles of fungus filaments.
I know what you're thinking (this is insane) but hang on, this baffling symbiotic relationship doesn't stop there… Fungi also actively manage nutrient resources across the network. This was tested in Suzanne Simard's 1997 paper by supplementing trees with a naturally occurring traceable isotope (13CO2). The isotope was seen to be transferred from the leaves of a healthy donor tree to the roots of undernourished trees through the mycorrhizal network. In other words, the fungus was redistributing surplus nutrients to the less fortunate members of the network.
It's not fully understood why trees act like a community, but it's obviously not in a forest's best interest to lose its weaker members because if that were the case, gaps would emerge which could disturb the sensitive microclimate of the forest leading to to lower levels of humidity and altered light conditions; both of which could hinder the development of the overall ecosystem and decrease the nutrient pool for all symbionts.
In the symbiotic community of the forest, it's not only trees which share information this way but also other plants, grasses and shrubs. Unfortunately, these systems seem only to occur in well developed forests, limited often to forests which have not been disturbed by humans for a long time. When we investigate our fields and agricultural land where pesticides have been frequently used, relationships between plants and fungi are much less prevalent. Maybe we can grow a little more organically and assist the wood wide web in developing more communities of trees and fungi.

Preheat a non-stick pan on medium heat and add half the butter.
Place the bacon, mushrooms and tomato in the pan and season.
Turn once when the bacon and tomato have browned.
Remove bacon and tomato when done and allow mushrooms to cook a little longer.
Remove and plate.
Pour pan juices over tomato and mushrooms.
Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and replace onto the heat and add the remaining butter.
Add the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Whilst eggs are cooking prepare the toast.
Serve the eggs when done to your liking.
The coordination and timing of this dish are most important for a great end result.
By placing a lid over the pan, the steam will cook the top of the eggs without having to flip it.

Bought 2017 Sanibel in April 2017. Went on the road for two months, a few things (fell apart). Needed parts and touch up paint after returning home. Took defective parts to service/parts department. Had a million reasons why they couldn't help me. Replacement parts took about 10 minutes to replace. Camping World wanted me to fill out warranty papers and bring RV to dealership. We all know how THAT works out.
Ended up BUYING the needed parts, still in need of touch up paint. Complained to the Manager in charge that day, Left and haven't been back ! You would think after buying an $82K RV you could get a little service.
NOT. I wouldn't buy holding tank sanitizer from this outfit !
Product or Service Mentioned: Camping World Rv Repair.
Reason of review: Warranty issue.
Monetary Loss: $20.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
