Para este evento Forum Rare Books preparou um Catálogo especial onde são privilegiados os livros de viagem e expedições científicas.
É muito difícil fazer uma escolha entre obras tão boas, de elevada raridade e em condições de conservação muito boa, pelo que deixo uma “amostra” um pouco aleatória, pois para mais não tenho atrevimento…
Foi para mim uma surpresa agradável constatar que este Catálogo abre com uma obra portuguesa, o que confirma que as nossas obras também têm procura e estão bem cotadas no mercado internacional e, mais adiante, iremos encontrar ainda outra!
Jesuit missions in Brazil, Asia, and Mozambique
1. ABREU, Sebastiao d’ – Vida, e virtudes do Admiravel Padre Joam Cardim da Companhia de Jesu Portuguez natural de Vianna de Alentejo. Évora, University Press, 1659. 4º. With engraved frontispiece portrait of the Jesuit João Cardim. Contemporary goatskin parchment.
$ 12 500
First edition of a biography of the Portuguese Jesuit João Cardim, written by Sebastien d’Abreu (1594–1674), also paying attention to his two uncles who were missionaries in the Far East and Brazil. His uncle Antonio Francesco Cardim (1596–1659), travelled for a few years as a missionary in China, Japan and other areas in the Far East. He was the Jesuit superior in Macau when the shogun of Japan forbade all voyages from Macau to Japan. “Cardim ... sent to Lisbon a report that was printed in 1643 of the execution at Nagasaki in 1640 of four Portuguese emissaries sent to Japan from Macau. Translations of this account quickly appeared in French, Italian and Dutch. ... In 1645 he published at Rome his Relatione of Japan in which he also deals at length with the missions in Macao, Tongking, Cochin-China, Hainan, Cambodia, and Siam, placed within the Jesuit Province of Japan where he had worked from 1623–1638” (Lach & Van Kley). The other uncle, Fernão Cardim (d. 1625), was an influential Jesuit in Brazil, one of the first who went to the mission posts there. He became director of a college in Rio de Janeiro and was made “provincial” of the local area. Lacking final endpaper and the bookblock partly detached from the binding. Some of the red paint from the sprinkled edges is found in the margins of the title-page and the engraved portrait and a few leaves are slightly browned. Otherwise still in very good condition.

”For the first time in English letters, travel was viewed as a science” (Parker)
5. BOURNE, William – A booke called the treasure for traveilers, . . .London, [T. Dawson for] T. Woodcock, 1578. 5 parts in 1 volume. 4º. With full-page woodcut coat of arms of the dedicatee, full-page woodcut diagrammatic surveying map, 36 woodcuts in the text and woodcut factotums. Late 18th-century half calf (neatly rebacked).
$ 36 000
First edition of the first book in English on practical matters of geography and navigation, intended for pilots, ship’s captains, sailors, soldiers, carpenters, surveyors and traders. Grounded in Bourne’s own experience and addressed to those unschooled in mathematics, it boasts a string of firsts. It contains the first popular explanation in English of surveying by triangulation and the first illustration of this method applied to an actual location (at a scale of 1:52,800). It is the first English book to describe the volumes, capacities, and proportions of ships’ hulls-for loading and storing commercial merchandise, for getting ships over bars or shoals and for raising sunken vessels for salvage. It is the first book to set out the sizes and weights of cordage and give rules for their computation. And it offers the first explanation of ocean currents in English, including the North and South Atlantic Drift, on which the English relied in their subsequent aggressive expansion to the east and west. He also discusses the formation and peopling of the Americas.
The treasure also aided spies, brigands, explorers and gentleman tourists. The Preface “advised persons going into strange countries to observe the state of civilization of the region, the nature of the fortifications, access to the sea, the government, laws, buildings, natural enemies and friends among neighbouring states, the major items in trade, commodities produced, customs and tolls, manner of waging war, etc.” (Parker). It represents a peculiarly “English” tradition, independent of Continental models, in which the traveller especially values the common wealth.
The Macclesfield copy, with his 1860 armorial North Library bookplate. Title-page soiled, marginal worm-holes in first four and last six leaves, affecting text only in the errata (which is very slightly shaved) and 1 shoulder note. Otherwise in very good condition.

Calvin’s commentary on the Pauline Epistles,
one of his few works translated into Dutch before 1572
7. CALVIN, Jean – Uutlegghinghe ... op alle de Sendbrieven Pauli des Apostels: ende oock op den Sendbrief tot den Hebreen. Met een schoon register. Emden, Gillis van der Erve and Willem Gailliart, 1566. 2º. With Van der Erve’s woodcut device on title-page and several woodcut decorated initials. Contemporary blind-tooled calf over bevelled wooden boards, each board in a panel design with 4 different rolls, engraved brass catchplates (remains of straps but clasps lost), later(?) brass decorated corner and centre pieces, each with a boss, rebacked. The rolls show (from outside to inside) decorative crests and foliage, 4 half-length portraits with mottos, and 4 nude putti, 1 with a saint’s halo.
$ 9 000
First edition of the first Dutch translation of Calvin’s commentaries on the Epistles of Saint Paul and the Epistle to the Hebrews. By 1539 Calvin had planned to write commentaries on all the Pauline Epistles, and he began with the book of Romans (first published in 1540). In 1551 all parts were finished and published together with the Epistle to the Hebrews as In omnes D. Pauli epistolas, atque etia in epistola ad Hebraeos commentaria luculentissima.
It was translated into Dutch by Johannes Dyrkinus (ca. 1530–before 1592) and Johannes Florianus (1522–1585) and contains a new preface by Calvin addressed to Simon Grynaeus as well as a dedication to Unico Manninga. “… although Calvin was read and certainly influential in the Netherlands from an early date, surprisingly few of his works were translated into Dutch before 1572” (Pettegree, p. 230). It was printed and published in Emden by Gillis van der Erve and Willem Gailliart. “Emden printing represented possibly the most important, certainly the community’s most individual contribution to the shaping of Dutch Protestantism in this period” (Pettegree, p. 87).
Some insignificant water stains; rebacked; clasps missing. Although there are some small holes and (especially on the back board) small gouges and cuts in the leather covering the boards, the tooling remains extremely crisp and clear. Good copy of Calvin’s commentaries on the Epistles of Saint Paul.

Most important 19th-century scientific expedition to South America,
with nearly 500 plates, mostly hand-coloured
9. CASTELNAU, Francis de (botanical volumes by Hugh Algernon WEDDELL) – Expédition dans les parties centrales de l’Amérique du Sud, de Rio de Janeiro a Lima, et de Lima au Para; exécutée par ordre du gouvernement Français pendant les années 1843 a 1847. Paris, P. Bertrand, 1850–1859. 7 parts in 15 volumes. 8º (6 vols.), 4º (7 vols.), folio (2 vols.). With 493 lithographed and tinted lithographed plates and maps, including 401 partly or completely hand-coloured. Later rust-red half morocco.
$ 145 000
First edition, beautifully illustrated, of the reports of the most important scientific expedition to South America in the 19th century, led by the French naturalist Francis de Castelnau (1810–1880). The scientific results of this expedition are of considerable importance. Besides the zoological, botanical, mineralogical and ethnographical collections he brought to Europe, Castelnau provided a wealth of information with the astronomical, barometrical, hydrographical and hydraulic observations and determinations he made. The beautifully coloured plates make it a desired work for bibliophiles as well.
During their travels Castelnau and his men gathered an enormous amount of information through meteorological, magnetic, botanical and zoological observations. They lost a great deal of their work when Indians killed one of the expedition members and destroyed most of his records of the astronomical and barometrical observations. Fortunately his minutes were saved and with considerable effort the reports of the expedition were completed. The expedition ended when Castelnau returned to France in 1848.
Fine, complete set. The binding with occasional small chips or minor abrasions, but still very good.

Travel account with magnificent series of views;
a superb set in the most original condition possible
12. CHORIS, Louis – Vues et paysages des régions équinoxiales, recueillis dans un voyage autour du monde, par Louis Choris, avec une introduction et un text explicatif. Paris, Paul Renouard, 1826. 6 parts. 2º. With 24 lithographed plates. Each part in original mauve printed wrappers, preserved in a green morocco box.
$ 43 000
A superb set in the most original condition possible of this glorious voyage book, with magnificent series of views, including Brazil, Chile, Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, Kamchatka, the Marianas, Manila, the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena.
Choris had joined Otto von Kotzebue’s famous voyage around the world as its official painter, on the ship Le Rourik, which sailed in 1815. It was the first Russian expedition with a purely scientific purpose. Choris made many drawings, and after his return in 1819 he settled in Paris where he was greatly encouraged to publish his work, since many of the drawings were portraits of people never seen before. In 1822 he published these drawings in his well-known Voyage pittoresque autour du monde, edited by Georges Cuvier. But when he later found another 24 interesting drawings, he decided to publish them in the present work, intended as a kind of appendix to the Voyage pittoresque.
In fine condition.

3 Princes of Orange, with much information on the Dutch in Brazil
and illustrated with 80 double-page plates beautifully hand-coloured
15. COMMELIN, Isaac – Fredrick Hendrick van Nassauw Prince va[n] Orangien zyn leven en bedryf. Amsterdam, Jodocus Janssonius, 1651 (colophon: printed by Paulus Matthijsz., 1651). With an engraved title-page, a full-page engraved portrait of Frederik Hendrik, and 34 double-page (or in 2 cases larger folding) engraved plates. All beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand and most highlighted with gold.
With: (2) [ORLERS, Jan Jansz., and Isaac COMMELIN] – Wilhelm en Maurits van Nassau, Princen van Orangien, haer leven en bedrijf, of ‘t begin en voortgang der Nederlandsche oorlogen. Amsterdam, Johannes Janssonius, 1651. With an engraved title-page, full-page engraved portraits of William and of Maurits, Maurits’s full-page engraved coat of arms, and 46 double-page (or in 2 cases larger folding) engraved plates, mostly maps, plans and bird’s-eye views of cities, fortifications and battles. All beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand and most highlighted with gold. 2 complementary works, each with 2 parts in 1 volume. 2º (32 × 21.5 cm). Uniform contemporary or near contemporary gold- and blind-tooled vellum. Ties lacking.
$ 135 000
First editions of two complementary works, in matching format, similar layout and beautifully and extensively illustrated, devoted to the lives, history and military careers of the three most important stadtholders and Princes of Orange to the time of publication, including a great deal of information on the Dutch conquests, trade and commerce in the Americas in general and Brazil in particular. In the present copy the engraved title-pages, portraits, coat of arms and illustrations are all beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand, most of them highlighted in gold. Truusje Goedings, expert in 17th-century Dutch colourists, has identified the colouring as the work of Frans Koerten (1603–1668), the most acclaimed Dutch colourist of the middle of the 17th century.
Something must have gone wrong with the printing or colouring of Maurits’s portrait, for one can see that the portrait was printed on the leaf, but another print from the same plate has been pasted over it as a cancel.With a small tear in the foot of one map and water stains at the foot of the leaves in both works, but otherwise in very good condition. The bindings have cracks in the joints. Beautifully coloured copies of two magnificently illustrated works on the Princes of Orange and Dutch activities in Brazil and elsewhere.

30. GERARD, John, Thomas JOHNSON [and Rembert DODOENS]. The herball or generall historie of plantes. ... very much enlarged and amended by Thomas Johnson ... London, Adam Islip, Joyce Norton, Richard Whitakers, “1636” (1633 edition with the 1636 title-page). 2º. With an integral engraved title-page by John Payne and about 2800 woodcut botanical illustrations, all coloured by an early hand.

$ 48 500
Rare coloured copy of the second and best edition (the first with the extensive corrections and additions by Thomas Johnson) of the greatest English herbal of its time and here illustrated with about 2800 botanical woodcuts showing flowers, trees (including fruit and nut trees), berries, gourds, root vegetables, herbs and spices, mushrooms, medicinal plants and more. Plants shown include potatoes, tobacco, cannabis, tulips, maize and others from various exotic lands, many from the Americas. The present 1633 edition is “a conspectus and summation of the finest research of its age. ... a lasting monument of Renaissance botany.” (introduction to the 1975 facsimile) “in every respect immeasurably superior to its predecessor” (Blunt). The present copy appears to be entirely or almost entirely the 1633 edition, except that it has the 1636 title-page. Copies mixing the 1633 and 1636 editions are probably common but only occasionally noticed.
With a few manuscript notes and a few dried and pressed plant specimens between the leaves. Lacking the initial and final integral blanks. With the first few and last few quires stained (mostly in the gutter margin), with some old repairs and the last few leaves of the index tattered; elsewhere an occasional stain, small hole or marginal tear. But most of the leaves remain in good condition. The binding scuffed and flaked, but now structurally sound. Rare coloured copy of the greatest early monument of British botany, with about 2800 hand-coloured botanical woodcuts.

Portuguese wars against the Ottoman and Gujarat Muslims
for control of the Indian spice trade
31. GOES, Damião de – De bello Cambaico ultimo commentarii tres. Louvain, Servatius Sassenus de Dienst, January 1549. Small 4º (19.5 × 13.5 cm). With an emblematic woodcut printer’s device on title-page, repeated on the last page. Modern sheepskin parchment over flexible boards.
$ 48 500
Rare first edition of three Latin commentaries on the Portuguese wars in Gujarat, India, by the great Portuguese humanist Damião de Goes (1502–1574). The title refers to the kingdom of Khambhat around the Gulf of Khambhat in southern Gujarat. The Portuguese had had a strong presence at Diu on the western side of the Gulf of Khambhat since defeating the Sultan of Gujarat and the Mamluks in 1509, even though the Ottoman Empire and the Venetians supported the anti-Portuguese forces. Portugal quickly became the Ottoman Empire’s leading rival for control of the region’s spice trade. In 1535 the Muslim Sultan of Gujarat, now under attack from the Mughals, made an alliance with the Portuguese and allowed them to build a fortress at Diu, which became a keystone for the defence of the Portuguese colonies and the security of their spice trade on the Malabar coast. Although relations quickly soured, the Sultan of Gujarat was also wary of the growing Ottoman power. When an enormous Ottoman fleet besieged the Portuguese fortress at Diu in 1538 the Sultan of Gujarat provided less than enthusiastic support and the Portuguese were able to hold out through the monsoon season until a large Portuguese relief fleet arrived and forced the Ottomans to withdraw. In April 1546 the Gujarats began a second siege of Diu. The Portuguese sent reinforcements from Goa several times but they proved insufficient until João de Castro, Governor of Goa, whose son had died in the hostilities, came himself with a large fleet and 3000 men in November (once again after the monsoons ended), broke the siege and killed hundreds or thousands of Muslims, including civilians. This solidified Portuguese colonial rule in the region and set the stage for the later British colonization.
With a one word corrected in the margin in a contemporary hand. Some faint browning (only more pronounced one the last leaf), some occasional spots, a few minor smudges and a minimal waterstain in the lower margins, nonetheless still a very good copy. An important source for Portuguese relations with the Muslim world and the Portuguese spice trade in India.

First Dutch translation of a popular description
of sea plants and corals, with 52 hand-coloured plates
42. MARSIGLI, Luigi Ferdinando – Natuurkundige beschryving der zeën. The Hague, De Compagnie, 1786. 2º. With an engraved frontispiece by Matthijs Pool, 12 mostly folding maps, profiles of coast-lines and tables, and 40 full-page engraved plates with numerous illustrations of sea plants and corals, all beautifully coloured by hand. Contemporary half calf, gold-tooled spine.
$ 8 000
First edition of the Dutch translation, beautifully illustrated and hand-coloured, of a popular description of plants and corals of the sea by Luigi Ferdinando Conte de Marsigli (1658–1730), a celebrated Italian geographer and natural scientist. First published at Bologna in 1700, it was the first work to describe what the author himself called “coral-flowers”. He minutely and very correctly described and designed them, but he drew the wrong conclusions, seeing them as plants in stead of plant-animals. But even when this was corrected by later scientists like Jussieu and Ellis, Marsigli’s book continued to be published for its beautiful plates, and its accurate descriptions. In the present edition the publisher asks his readers just to substitute the word plant for animal.
In very good condition, with virtually untrimmed edges. Binding worn along the extremities and sides slightly damaged.

The patron saint of Mexico City, martyred in Japan,
with engraved title-page & 16 plates, printed in Mexico City and preserved in a contemporary Mexican binding
45. [MUNIBE, José María] – Breve resumen de la vida y martyrio del inclyto Mexicano, y proto-martyr del Japon, el Beato Felipe de Jesus. Añadidas algunas obvias reflecciones en honor del mismo Heroë esclarecido, y de esta dichosisima civdad felize en ser su pátria. Por un eclesiàstico de este arzobispado, afecto del santo, quien lo dedica á la exemplarísima, religiosísima provincia del santo evangelio de esta civdad de México. Mexico City, “Oficina Madrileña” [literally “Madrid office”, a name used by the Jáuregui heirs], 1802. 4º (19.5 × 14 cm). With engraved title-page dated 1801, an engraved portrait of Felipe de Jésus (both engravings by Montes de Oca) and extra-illustrated with 15 (of 30) engraved plates also by Montes de Oca, from the closely related 1801 print series originally issued with the same engraved title-page. With the engraved title and all 16 plates coloured by a contemporary hand and many words, letters and punctuation marks on the two title-pages coloured red. Contemporary Mexican tanned sheepskin mottled in an irregular tree pattern, gold-tooled spine.
$ 11 000
Rare account of the life and Japanese martyrdom of the patron saint of Mexico (and first Mexican saint of any kind), Felipe de Jésus (1575 or ca. 1572–1597), with 15 additional plates from the extremely rare and closely related print series of De Jésus’s life, issued one year earlier. The engraved title-page, portrait, and the 15 additional plates from the 1801 print series were all produced by José María Montes de Oca (1668–1748), one of the most important book illustrators and engravers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and all are here coloured by a contemporary hand. De Jésus was a Franciscan missionary who grew up in Mexico and worked at Manilla in the Philippines from 1590 to 1596. On his way back to Mexico a storm forced his ship to land on the Japanese coast, where it was confiscated and he and the other passengers and crew imprisoned. The fact that there were soldiers and cannons on board lead the Japanese authorities to interpret the landing as an attack, so De Jésus and the others were arrested, imprisoned at Kyoto, their ears were cut off, and at Nagasaki on 5 February 1597 they were crucified and executed (pierced by two spears). The print series that supplied the extra illustrations, with the engraved title Vida de San Felipe de Jesus protomartir de Japon y patron de su patria Mexico, is Montes de Oca’s finest work, one of the earliest print series published in Mexico, and the 15 plates added to the present book include De Jésus’s arrival in the Philippines, his ship in the storm, his imprisonment in Kyoto and his execution at Nagasaki. The. The delicate engravings add visual power to Munibe’s account of De Jésus’s life. If Munibe gives the correct date of birth, De Jésus was only 21 when martyred in Japan.
With a faint pencilled inscription on the back of the engraved title-page. With a worm hole through the front board and nearly half the leaves, occasional small marginal worm holes, and an occasional faint smudge or spot, but otherwise in very good condition and with generous margins. The colouring sometimes bleeds through the paper, but since the plates are blank on the back this presents no problems. The binding shows several chips and scuffs, but the lowest 3 gold-tooled flowers on spine are well preserved and the whole remains structurally sound. Very rare extra-illustrated copy of an early Mexican work on Japan, in a contemporary Mexican binding.

$ 52 500
First German edition, with the plates newly made for this edition and including new material, the text combining German translations by Georg Leonhard Huth of three important English ornithological works: George Edwards’s A natural history of uncommon birds (1743–1751) and Gleanings of natural history (1758–1764), and Mark Catesby’s Natural history of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (second ed. 1748–1754). Seligmann (1720–1762) brought these materials together and engraved the illustration plates and two of the frontispieces. The book is especially strong for American and Asian birds. The parts and plates were published in instalments and while many copies lack the whole of part 9, the present copy includes the plates and accompanying leaves of text of this part up to plate XXIV. It further includes one (uncoloured) plate, a portrait of an indigenous North American man, not recorded in the literature, though engraved by Seligmann.
With 2 tears in the folding map, almost entirely in the sea, but generally in very good condition. The bindings are slightly scuffed and have some professional restorations along the extremities, but are otherwise very good with most of the tooling clear.

Most are double-page and several are larger folding sheets, including several maps and the plate with the complete set of 52 playing cards. Contemporary mottled calf, richly gold-tooled spine.
$ 6 500
A famous collection of texts and plates satirizing the Englishman John Law, his Mississippi Company, and the international land and trading speculation in worthless shares of the South Sea Bubble of 1719–1720, which resulted in an international scandal. The speculation began in Paris, London and Hamburg, spreading to the Netherlands in the summer of 1720. While plays satirizing the speculation already opened in September 1720, the bubble really burst in October. The book also provides the texts of official documents relating to the Dutch trading companies involved. Text and plates were originally issued in parts, and were continuously supplemented over a longer period. Work on the book as a whole must have begun after the Amsterdam disturbances of 5 October 1720, though some of the plays and other items had been separately published before that. Within each edition the number and makeup of the plates varies greatly from copy to copy.
Binding rubbed along the extremities, front hinge cracked. Textleaves browned and several foxed, affecting some of the plates, most plates in good condition, some with a marginal tear, three plates with a larger tear affecting the illustration (Muller nos. 11, 51, 56). Overall a good copy.

The most comprehensive and authoritative source
on the Dutch colonial empire in the East, with 268 engraved plates
67. VALENTIJN, François – Oud en nieuw Oost-Indiën, vervattende een naaukeurige en uitvoerige verhandelinge van Nederlands mogentheyt in die gewesten, ...

Dordrecht, Johannes van Braam; Amsterdam, Gerard onder den Linden, 1724–1726. 5 volumes. 2º. With engraved frontispiece, engraved dedication to Egidius van den Bempden, engraved author’s portrait, 265 engraved plates (many folding), 8 letterpress folding tables, and 80 engravings in text. Contemporary mottled calf, richly gold-tooled spines. All volumes rebacked with the original backstrips laid down and with modern endpapers.
$ 62 500
Complete set of the richly illustrated first edition (the only early and only unabridged edition) of Valentijn’s monumental study of the East Indies and especially Ambon, where he lived for more than 15 years. Besides being the most comprehensive and authoritative source about the Dutch colonial empire in the East for centuries, its literary qualities were praised even by modern critics. The work is also of particular interest for Australia as it “for the first time gave a complete and accurate account with maps and drawings of Tasman’s first voyage”, including information based on manuscripts now lost. Valentijn is “remarkably complete; the book is therefore a goldmine overflowing with information; he brought together everything accessible in his day ... [and] includes much information that one can find nowhere else; for that reason it remains indispensable” (NNBW). Valentijn (1666–1727) went to the East Indies as a minister of the church in 1685 and settled in Ambon.
Rebacked, as noted, and restored along the extremities. A very good copy, with only some occasional spots and a couple minor stains.

If you’re falling sick more often during summers, here’s a helpful list of nutrition mistakes that you may be making:
1. Drinking chilled water after a day out in the Sun.
We’ve all been reprimanded by elders and parents for reaching out for that chilled bottle of water, straight after reaching home from a day out in the Sun. These concerns are not without reason. Drinking chilled water after a day out in the Sun may shock your system and result in sore throat as well as digestive troubles.
2. Too much caffeine.
Caffeine dehydrates you due to its diuretic property. So drinking too much coffee or tea during summers may give you headaches and make you feel dehydrated.
3. Sugary cold drinks and juices.
Most chilled packaged juices and cold drinks contain excessive amounts of sugar, which may increase your energy temporarily, but may result in an energy crash after a few days. So lay off those cold liquid calories and drink only fresh fruit juices with natural sugars in them.
4. Crash diets.
A lot of people feel an intense pressure to sport a particular body type during the summers. A lot of people talk about ‘summer body’ and slimming down for the summers. This may push a lot of people to take up fad diets that have dubious credentials but promise ‘quick results.’ Crash dieting may lead to sluggishness, headaches, nausea and diarrhoea. Reject this pressure to attain a particular body type and instead eat healthy to feel energetic and fresh.
5. Avoiding eggs, fish and chicken
There is a misconception that eggs, fish and chicken generate excessive heat in the body and, hence, must be avoided during summers. This is not true. All three foods are rich in lean protein, which is also important for maintaining a healthy weight during summers. You may, however, want to reduce portions of fattier meats like mutton, beef and pork during summers.
No matter what your expectations are from the summers, it’s important to build healthy eating habits for a sharp and alert mind and a healthy body.

A surprising link between eating disorders and bullying
It is to no surprise that being a victim of bullying bears an increased risk of developing depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, but new research has discovered that bullies are also at risk psychologically. Studies now link eating disorders and bullying.
Recently, a study at Duke Medicine and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine revealed that out of 1,420 children, bullies were twice as likely to exhibit symptoms of bulimia, a common eating disorder, as opposed to children who had no involvement in bullying. This study and its conclusive evidence are located in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
Bullies often tease others due to their own insecurities, especially their body image issues. Researchers believe that the bullies may regret their decision to be hurtful to others, causing them to become bulimic or be obsessed with their own body image. Maybe the act of teasing helps the bullies to sensitize themselves regarding their own body image. The study also revealed that children who were both bullies and victims carry the highest risk of exhibiting symptoms of anorexia, binge eating, and bulimia, as opposed to the rest of the group.
Cynthia M. Bulik, Ph. D., states that as humans, we often are critical of others in ways that we dislike ourselves. If you are critical of your own weight, you are more likely to be critical about someone else’s weight too. Some victims can put the devastating effects of bullying behind them, but some are not as fortunate. Many children carry emotional and psychological baggage with them into adulthood. There is far more research that needs to take place to understand the cause and effect of bullying from the perspectives of the bully, and the victim.
Duke University Medical Center. (2015). Study finds surprising link between bullying and eating disorders.

I haven’t blogged yet in June? And it’s June 10th? This is blashpemous. But I think I will be able to blog more now. Why? Because SCHOOL IS OVER!!!! I had my last class day on June 8, and I had my calculus final yesterday (I don’t wanna talk about it…). Tonight is the Academic Award Ceremony. All I have left this year is to finish my stained glass project for art, and a history New York State Regents exam on the 18th, which will no-doubt be a piece of cake since I took the AP, which is 100 times harder. My brother’s graduation is on the 19th. And after graduation, it will by MY turn to be a senior. Me. A Senior? Time sure flies…
The Yankees went 6-2 since the last time I blogged. They swept the Orioles, lost 2 of 3 to the Jays (thankfully, they salvaged the last game and started a new winning streak) and won the first two of this series against the Orioles. The Yankees are now just 2 games behind the Rays. They have been playing better baseball of late.
I was freaking out during last night’s game. The pen that I used since I started my blog last year, finally died. I tried to revive it; it made one last scribble, then was gone. It was a tragic moment. As many of you know, I am a superstitious nut when it comes to my Yankees. That was the pen they won the World Series with. Would they win another one without it? I’ve had bad luck with pens and the Yankees before, like when I stole Joe Torre’s pen in the Yankee dugout in 2001 and they didn’t win a World Series for years. I was afraid I started a new Curse of the Pen.
Lucky for me, they won last night. And I slept well.
Pitching Analysis: CC Sabathia obviously didn’t have his best stuff last night. He struggled early, making that flustered, pathetic face, but stuck it out and got the win. He found it later on, and turned what seemed to be a bad start into a good one. CC pitched 7 innings, allowed 2 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks, and struckout 8. That was the kind of performance that separates the good pitchers from the great pitchers. CC was able to pull himself together, and kept the team in the game despite his lack of stuff. CC, you are a great pitcher ♥
Good job last night!
Joba and Mo did their jobs, and held on to give the team the 4-2 win.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankees had to play catch-up last night, since the Orioles jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. But I had faith in my boys. Robinson Cano, the AL leader in batting average (.376) led off the 4th with a single. He eventually came around to score on Curtis Granderson’s sac fly. Nice situational hitting, my little cutie 😉 That made it 2-1.
In the 5th, Tex and A-Rod singled, and Cano drove in Tex with an RBI single to tie the game 2. Posada knocked in the go-ahead run with an RBI groundout. 3-2 Yanks!
Michael Kay is such a jinx. But sometimes, in a good way. This was the case in the 8th last night. With Brett Gardner on 2nd, my Francisco Cervelli came up to the plate. Kay was saying how Cervelli was only 2 for his last 25, and that he may be getting tired from all the playing, and yadda yadda yadda. So what does my baby do? He “Cerv’d” a ball right up the middle for an RBI single, making it 4-2 Yanks. Oh, Cervelli…how I love you.
The definition of adorable…
Look what my Dad just ordered for me for an end-of-the-year present. It is the coolest thing ever!
It was a good game last night. The heroes for the victory are CC, for his turn-around performance, Robbie Cano, for his 3 hits again, and Francisco Cervelli, just because I ADORE him 🙂
I’m glad I’ll be able to watch the Yankees and blog at will again. Summer is awesome.

In spite of its showy cast, 2010's RED wasn't much more than a pleasantly mind-numbing dose of your average Hollywood over-the-top action thriller, retooled to incorporate the admittedly clever twist of having AARP-eligible actors doing the fake killing -- but it grossed nearly $200 million during its box office run, so now it's a franchise, and Summit's got a new theatrical trailer for RED 2 to prove it.

One of Thor's unexpected pleasures was just how disarmingly funny it managed to be, while still making plenty of room for the straight-faced epic adventure the comic is known for.

The Government of Zamfara State has suspended the directors of finance of Ministries, Departments And Agencies (MDAs) where some civil servants were collecting double salaries.
The State Commissioner of Finance, Alhaji Rabi’u Garba, disclosed this at a press briefing on Sunday in Gusau.
Garba also revealed that the state government had resolve to drag 108 workers in the state to court for receiving double salaries.
He noted that the affected workers were discovered during the ongoing investigation of workers’ salary issues by the state’s ministry of finance.
He said that the exercise, under the leadership of Governor Bello Matawalle, was not to witch-hunt anybody, but to ensure sanity in the civil service payroll in the state.
“The affected workers found collecting more than one salary at different MDAs were among the 4,972 civil servants who were suspended from receiving salary for the month of December 2019 as a result of various irregularities.
“We discovered these irregularities from the payroll of November 2019 salary in the state.
“We have suspended the affected workers from collecting salary until we conclude the investigation,” Garba said.
He said the 108 workers, who were collecting double salary, would be handed over to the state’s ministry of justice for prosecution.
“We also found 109 workers whose official names are different from the names of their salary accounts.
“We discovered irregularities from 1,640 workers whose account numbers are not found in the CBN server,” he said.
“There are also 485 workers who are supposed to have gone on retirement but are still collecting salary. In fact, one of them is 119 years old but still collecting salary.
“We also suspended the salary of 1,548 workers receiving salary under micro-finance banks because of various irregularities.
“We have directed them to their MDAs for proper clearance,” he added.
According to the commissioner, some of the MDAs involved in the salary irregularities in the state are Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata-Mafara, Arabic and Female Education Boards, Establishment and Hospital Service Management Board.
“We have suspended the directors of finance of all the affected MDAs,” he explained.
He urged the workers in the state to be patient with the state over any inconvenience which the verification exercise might have caused.

At issue | Various columns, articles on the immigration debate
Humorist Mark Twain had it right when he observed "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
Twain never read the Justice Department's yearly immigration court reports — but they are a perfect example of how poorly the federal government treats immigration and how little it trusts its own citizens with the powerful information buried in technical jargon and skewed statistics.
Simply put, Justice Department executives game these numbers. The department sends annual reports to Congress suggesting that immigrants win no more than 13 percent of their cases and infrequently appeal deportation verdicts. Nothing could be further from the truth. U.S. immigration courts are, in fact, generous with relief.
Over the last 14 years, immigration courts ruled in favor of the foreign-born 42 percent of the time — a number more than three times greater than what Justice told Congress.
Appeals are, in fact, robust.
By history, aliens appeal trial decisions 81 percent of the time. The highest appellate rate Justice ever admitted to Congress was 17 percent.
The generosity of these courts and the laws they administer is underscored by how often asylum-seekers are permitted to withdraw their cases in order to seek favorable judgments that are easier to obtain.
Since 1996, more than half of all asylum cases — some 461,000 — were dismissed or transferred prior to trial. American generosity goes even further.
In 1996, Congress found that many aliens with fraudulent documents or none at all were deboarding aircraft at American airports begging to be let in, only to disappear in large numbers when the opportunity was right. Rather than turn these people away, Congress created a form of relief just for them. This relief is called expedited asylum.
Expedited asylum requires that aliens without authentic travel papers initially be detained and have their cases tried within 180 days. Expedited asylum now makes up 64 percent of all asylum cases.
Despite this, 44 percent of all aliens filing lawsuits before U.S. immigration courts — nearly 800,000 altogether — disappeared before trial since passage of the expedited asylum statute.
Making matters worse, Justice stopped reporting in 2005 on how many expedited asylum cases are actually completed within the 180-day deadline — and it has never reported how many of those claiming expedited asylum have evaded court.
Meanwhile, weak immigration courts can only stand by as many of those who claim asylum still walk from courtrooms never to be seen again. Nearly a third of all aliens — aliens free during court proceedings — disappeared before trial in 2009.
Public outrage is justified. What is true about America's borders is just as true about its immigration courts. They are frail and porous. They can neither impose order nor protect liberty. One of America's most powerful dynamics — immigration — is unmatched by courts of equal strength. Comparison reveals their frailty.
Aliens evade immigration courts more often than accused felons evade America's state courts. A Justice study completed in 2007 showed that accused felons in state courts became fugitives — in other words failed to appear in court — 24 percent of the time. Twenty-one percent were later caught.
Between 2002 and 2006, 49 percent of all aliens free pending court became fugitives. In 2008, a record number of these fugitives were arrested — 6 percent from a population of almost 600,000.
The late congresswoman, Barbara Jordan, a Texas Democrat, and herself a great story, summed up how our policies can best serve immigration. "Credibility in immigration policy," she said, "can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here [are] required to leave ... For the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."
She could have added that those who remain fulfill the great promises that only immigration done the right way accomplishes.
Good immigration policy begins with honest numbers. It ends with borders that are secure and authoritative courts seamlessly linked to enforcement agencies that execute their orders. In the middle are laws that dignify the law-abiding, sanction the offender and give opportunity to the striving. Under the present system — a system turned on its head — those who break our laws are rewarded, while those who obey them are often penalized.
As the immigration debate continues, a lot of Barbara Jordan's common sense and a generous helping of Mark Twain's wry humor are needed — and will sustain us and a vast future, too.

Since May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month, it’s a big month in our community. All month long, we’ll be celebrating our gluten free family and sharing helpful tips, facts and delicious recipes! We’re also highlighting one of our amazing partners – the Celiac Disease Foundation! This month, we interviewed Laura Boone, the Development Manager of the Foundation, to learn more about her role in the gluten free community.
Enjoy Life: What is the mission of the Celiac Disease Foundation, and when was it founded?
Laura: Founded 27 years ago, the Celiac Disease Foundation is the nation’s leading disease advocacy organization for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. We accelerate diagnosis, treatments, and a cure through research, education, and advocacy to improve the quality of life for all those affected.
Enjoy Life: What is your role at the Foundation?
Laura: As the Development Manager for the Foundation, I cultivate meaningful relationships and ensure the community is consistently informed about the Foundation’s research, education, and advocacy initiatives.
Enjoy Life: How does the Foundation work with partners like Enjoy Life?
Laura: We are proud to partner with Enjoy Life to help educate the community about celiac disease and the safe gluten free options for those who need it most. We acknowledge our relationship by highlighting Enjoy Life’s gluten free products and recipes on the Foundation’s website, Gluten-Free Marketplace, Eat! Gluten-Free App, and social media channels. Together, our voices are stronger and our community outreach is greater.
Enjoy Life: What can you tell us of the research being done for celiac disease?
Laura: There are more than two million Americans suffering from celiac disease who have not been diagnosed, and researchers estimate that the prevalence of celiac disease is doubling in our population every 15 years. Our most urgent focus is supporting research for celiac disease diagnosis and treatments through our iCureCeliac® patient registry, direct funding of biomedical research at some of the nation’s leading academic medical research centers, and a major patient engagement initiative to educate patients, researchers, policymakers, and healthcare providers about celiac disease and its challenges.
Enjoy Life: How can our community increase awareness of celiac disease and gluten free resources?
Laura: Get involved with the Celiac Disease Foundation! Join Team Gluten-Free or the Student Ambassador Program to help raise awareness, education, and funds for celiac disease. Utilize our website for helpful resources, and share our social media posts with your community.
Enjoy Life: Any special advice for someone with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity?
Laura: After years of illness, I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2011. Since then, it has become increasingly apparent that I must advocate for myself and educate others about the severity of the disease. Eating gluten free has become trendy for those without celiac disease, but for those who are diagnosed it is the only treatment, and it is imperative. Stay informed and stay positive!
Enjoy Life: What is so special about Enjoy Life to you and your organization?
Laura: We are greatly appreciative of our long-standing relationship with Enjoy Life and their continued support of the Celiac Disease Foundation. Enjoy Life staff is a pleasure to work with and dedicated to providing safe, gluten free options for our community. Enjoy Life’s products prove that adhering to a gluten free diet does not have to be boring or tasteless!

First thing I did after waking up: Dishes. Cleaned the whole kitchen. I spend *tons* of time in my kitchen and part of making that fun for myself is making sure things are clean and that I have some music going when I'm in there! Coffee helps too =) (but not too late at night...did you know the half-life of caffeine is 5-6 hours!). That means that 5-6 hours after you drank those two espresso shots, you still have one espresso shot in your system. Yikes!
Second thing...I started thinking about what's for dinner. Chicken seems to be my go-to meat at the moment because I already have a bunch cooked up. I used all my sweet potatoes for breakfast and lunch. Time to check the fridge. I found some wonderful looking local golden beets from the Woodinville Farmers Market. Cooking beets is a snap.
|Organic Local Golden Beets|
What you'll need:
-(Optional) An oven-safe pan. You could always just put them right on the oven rack but beware! They will leak some beet juice.
-(Optional) A veggie scrub brush.
-(Optional) A cutting board.
A side note about beets: They dye things. This includes when you go to the bathroom after eating a whole bunch of them...don't freak out! It's okay. I also don't like to use my wooden cutting board for beets because of the whole dying thing. I like my wooden cutting board to not be bright/dark red/golden.
The skinny (instructions):
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Remember, do this early! That way you're never waiting on your oven, it's waiting on you!
2. Wash and scrub down your beets. Get all of that dirt off 'em.
|Washed and scrubbed golden beets on my (non wooden) cutting board.|
|Beets with both ends cut off.|
|Wrapping in tin foil -- stage one.|
|Wrapping in tin foil -- stage two. Little beet cocoons :-).|
|45 minutes at 400 degrees.|
|Store the left-over beets.|
|Steamed dinner =).|
|And plated/served! Yay!|
You don't even need a little steamer for this. Whenever you want to steam something you can always do it on the stove-top as well. Just boil a small amount of water in a pot and then plunk in what you want to steam (ideally with one of those steamer tray things, but you don't even need that!). Then let it heat back up and turn the heat OFF. Cover it and let it steam for a little bit. Drain. Done.

Mostly a fanfic author who loves to read. I also have a work called 'Overlord: Beyond Supremacy' but I have no idea why it doesn't show up here. Interesting. Thanks for checking out
Good question. Couple of points. I was still a novice when I wrote Correcting Justice. Think I first wrote it around 4-5 years ago so I had no idea how to write boys. Now...I guess I can. But writing romance or harem is honestly not my forte either way.
Finally. Someone who truly appreciates Greek mythology instead of that 'ooh Percy Jackson' thing! As one mythology freak to another...welcome to the story. Also...have you read 'Pandora'? It's a ToG fanfic but the main character I use is Pandora directly from the mythology.
Ah. That is one aspect I did put a lot of thought into. So here are my arguments. So we already know that Reiju was able to keep a low profile on some remote island in Totta land for 2 reasons. 1. She herself doesn't have haki. So her haki signature isn't as strong. 2. She's purposefully weakening herself to blend in with the people around her. Next, the people who have haki on Cacao Island. 1. Not any of the admirals since Katakuri's on Whole Cake while the others are spread throughout the New World. Cracker and Syrup are in the special region. We also know Cracker (in Queen's helm) doesn't take his job seriously (remember how he couldn't find normal people under some debris? yes. this was planned). 2. Not Linlin or any of the main family who can use observation haki because they're either out on the sea or Whole Cake Island. Unless one trains their observation to a crazy degree like Fujitora, Enel, Syrup, Katakuri, or the Emperors...it's rather hard to pinpoint each individual and identify them. Not to mention the effort it takes in keeping the observation active. It's not like Spiderman's Spidey sense where it's constantly active and can identify the 'threats' immediately. Not to mention, Reiju is not a threat. Remember. No ill will, no bad emotions. If you want more proof, then Sabo (freaking Sabo) managed to sneak up on Luffy completely undetected while not trying to hide at all. Luffy crashed Katakuri's mochi house while he was eating doughnuts. Showing that not even the strongest keep their observation active 24/7. So with the combination of this...not really. No. Does this make sense? Thanks for reviewing so much. Glad you take the story seriously.
I will continue to write 'The Biggest of Mothers'. Humanity is still under construction on how to continue and end the story so...it'll take a while.
Very few princesses are bestowed one of the 13 months. I believe one of the prerequisites are to be a ranker. So...since Yuri is still a regular, not yet.
A story of how things would be, could be, and should be if a strong yet caring soul replaced that of Big Mom's. I think this is my favorite work along with 'Humanity'. I had intended this work to be a Oneshot for the 1M views on Charlotte family but here it is... Thank you for loving this story and reviewing so nicely. It does make a difference :) Please feel free (or actually you are encouraged) to leave ideas, theories, and wishes in the replies.
Pandora is finally on Webnovel! Probably the story I spent the most time and love perhaps except for 'The Biggest of Mothers'. A story about 'Pandora', the one and only Pandora, and her struggles, her wishes, and those around her as she climbs the tower for revenge against those that did her wrong. I will answer any questions regarding the story. Thank you and thanks for reading.

Destination was a disco studio group from New York who had one chart entry: "Move On Up" / "Up Up Up" / "Destination's Theme," which spent four weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1979. A trio, Destination consisted of Danny Lugo, Kathleen Bradley and Love Chyle Theus.
Destination is the second solo album by Ronan Keating, released on May 20, 2002 by Polydor. It includes the singles "Lovin' Each Day", "If Tomorrow Never Comes", "I Love It When We Do", "We've Got Tonight" (featuring Lulu on the original UK release and Jeanette Biedermann on the German release) and "The Long Goodbye".
Destination is the fifteenth album by the German progressive rock band Eloy, released in 1992. It was the second album to be recorded with the new line-up of Frank Bornemann and Michael Gerlach. It also marked the return of Klaus-Peter Matziol, who last played with Eloy on the 1984 Metromania album.


Does the movie live up to the hype? That doesn’t mean that movie is terrible. The movie seemed to be hyped up as the scariest movie ever made by the ad people and the average filmgoers. Still the use of camera and sound really do bring the eeriness of the movie out to me. With the bear minimal, director and writer Oren Peli is able to bring some really creepy moments to the screen that modern horror has forgotten. In this age of bad torture porn and gore for the stake of gore movies, it is good to see a movie do it purely on style alone.
The movie is more about atmosphere than actual gore or true storytelling, and that’s fine with me. The night haunting scenes are closely related to the Silent Hill games, and that’s a good thing. The night scenes are disturbing and well constructed. I found myself more interested in those haunting scenes than in the relationship scenes.
If I had one huge problem with the atmosphere, it would be that they could have gone further with the concept of the minor haunting. There could have been more items moving around in the background and more hidden voices.
The other issue I have with the movie has to do with one of the main characters. There are times when I can side with the boyfriend, while other times I can’t stand the guy. As with other reviews, I view Micah as being a total B-bag. There were times when I shook my head in disgust with the sheer stupidity of this character. When everyone in the movie tells him to not to do certain things, he does them anyway, and that in return makes things even worst for another character.
Micah is merely a plot device to ratchet-up the action and story progression than being a logical character that fits within this world. His actions are only used to get the story from point A to point B. Sometimes he’s an asshole that doesn’t believe and other times an obsessive guy that won’t listen to reason. You have to keep him consistent and he’s not here.
Mark Fredrichs only has a few scenes as the Psychic, but his last scene in the movie just helps bring tension to the movie and shows us just how bad things have progressed for the couple and their Demon friend. Katie Featherston plays the chick with the demon problem. I like her and I also like that she doesn’t have the standard body of a Hollywood female star (a skinny woman). She actually looks like what a woman would look like in real life. She’s attractive, but a bit heavier, and I have no problem with that. Katie does a good job acting scared.
In the end, Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity doesn’t live up to the hype, but that shouldn’t keep you away from the DVD. The movie is still better than most of the horror and ghost stories that are shown in the theater today. While some of the flaws are big, the movie does have to creepy moments.

You may find some on-paper similarities when looking at the specification sheets of the Sumvision Cyclone Voyager tablet and the Apple iPad 2. But, specs aside, one glaring differences between the two is in price point - the former costs only £150, less than half the price of Apple’s tablet.
Both of them have dual-core Cortex A9-based system-on-chips and comparable onboard memory specs. The Cyclone Voyager has a Rockchip RK3066 SoC clocked at 1.6GHz with a quad-core Mali-400 GPU, which makes it at least as powerful as the Galaxy S2.
It has 1GB of RAM, 16GB onboard storage, a 10.1in IPS display with a 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution, a battery life of up to eight hours (with a capacity of 5600mAh), a microSD card slot, a mini HDMI port, two mini USB ports, a rear 2-megapixel camera and a front-facing VGA one.
Other features include Android 4.1 Jelly bean and Wi-Fi, though support for Adobe Flash is noticeably absent. In comparison, the similarly priced quad-core Google Nexus 7 tablet is significantly lighter than the Cyclone Voyager's 685g. The Nexus 7 has a smaller display with the same resolution, but limited expansion options and no rear camera.

Importance of Conversations with your Psychiatrist on ADD/ADHD Medications
Importance of Conversations with ADD/ADHD Medication Prescriber
Medications can be very helpful for treating ADD/ADHD for many people, however, they also have serious risks and side effects that must be weighed and strategized against in an ongoing way, ranging from anxiety, irritability, and abuse which can each cause problems sometimes worse than those initially being addressed.
Many psychiatrists are very busy and if one is not intentional about the time spent with them, they can miss out on important conversations about medication. Finding a medication and dosage that minimizes side effects and improves your symptoms can take time, and it is your prescribers job to work with you to fine-tune your medication. Many clients I have worked with have experienced being given a dose that made them feel very unpleasant or anxious, and stopped because of this. Many have not heard that there are both stimulant and non-stimulant options for ADD/ADHD. While some take such medications without serious side effects or problems, others have taken medication and have developed tolerance, addiction, or other unwanted side effects. Taking time to note specifics about how you feel when taking the medication with your prescriber can help to identify the correct dose and type of medication.
The DSM V finds that the differentiation between certain mental health disorders such as ADD/ADHD and other mental health disorders of depression or anxiety are less strict than previously thought. It appears that if you experience one of these conditions it is more likely (in comparison with someone without any of the conditions) that you might experience symptoms associated with one of the other conditions. Furthermore, ADD/ADHD alone is well-known for impacting not only attention or physical activation, but possibly also the emotional regulation of an individual. When a powerful stimulant or other medication is added to the mix, there is a potential for an significant bad side effects that have to be managed. Tracking your anxiety and mood through a log or journal has been critical in many persons with ADHD to finding a better balance with medications.
There are many non-pharmacological ways to help manage some of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD including therapy, coaching, biofeedback and neurofeedback and mindfulness meditations. Call now for a free consultation to learn more about these modalities and if they might be a fit for your situation.

An Evening Out in Old-World Prague
Saturday, October 15, 2011, 7:30 p.m.
Central United Church, Stratford
Conductor Ben Bolt-Martin
Guest Reader (Dvořįk's letters) Richard Fitzpatrick
Antonin Dvořįk Serenade for Winds op. 44
Josef Suk Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale
'St. Wenceslas' op. 35a
Antonin Dvořįk Serenade for Strings op. 22
Are you ready for some Dvořįk?
Czech composer Antonin Dvořįk clearly impressed his nineteenth-century contemporaries, one of whom was Johannes Brahms. About the young (37) Dvořįk's Serenade for Winds, composed in 1878, Brahms wrote, "It would be difficult to discover a finer, more refreshing impression of really abundant and charming creative talent." The work is rich with the spirit of Czech folk music, and a strong Mozart influence is evident as well. (Some of actor Richard Fitzpatrick's readings from Dvořįk's letters will reflect this influence.)
About Dvořįk's Serenade for Strings, noted chamber music conductor Misha Rachlevsky said, "Just like delivering good news to someone has a positive rub-off effect on the messenger, performing Dvořįk's Serenade is really a very therapeutic endeavor for performers. There is so much 'pure goodness' in it." Both serenades suggest the gracious atmosphere of nineteenth-century chamber-music concerts in homes of the aristocracy.
Josef Suk was a student of Dvořįk and later became his son-in-law. His music shows the influence of both Dvořįk and Brahms. Suk wrote his Meditation on an Old Czech Hymn "St. Wenceslas" to "strengthen the hope in the return of power to the hands of the Czech people, after the storms of wrath are over."
Share the joy of the musicians as they perform thes Dvorak serenades and Suk meditation. Join us this Saturday evening, October 15, at 7:30 in Central United Church, Stratford.

Motorists driving on State Road 64 at Rye Road soon will have to navigate a roundabout.
Both a roundabout and a traffic signal were being considered for the East Manatee intersection, but the Florida Department of Transportation announced Friday that the roundabout alternative was selected.
“Based on the results of the analyses of potential effects to the social, cultural, natural and physical environment, projected project costs and benefits and public comments gathered throughout the study, FDOT reached a decision on the type of improvements necessary to accommodate future traffic demands at the S.R. 64 and Rye Road intersection,” the FDOT release states.
A multilane roundabout and sidewalks will replace the existing intersection, according to the release.
“The modern roundabout alternative will now advance into the design phase and subsequently construction,” the release states.
With design and right-of-way acquisition funding programmed in FDOT’s current fiscal year, construction funding is programmed in fiscal year 2017-18, according to the release.
Weather permitting, construction should take approximately 18 months, according to the release.
FDOT has previously said that revenue from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge will fund the roundabout’s construction.
Accoding to state law, FDOT may request the Division of Bond Finance to issue bonds secured by toll revenues collected on certain roadways or bridges, which includes the Skyway, to “fund transportation projects located within the county or counties in which the project is located and contained in the adopted work program of the department.”
