Drama set against the backdrop of the 1960s American civil rights
movement, based on the best-selling novel by Kathryn Stockett. It
is 1964 and racism is rife in Jackson, Mississippi. Skeeter (Emma
Stone), the strong-willed daughter of a well-to-do family, returns
to the town from college to take up a role at the local newspaper.
However, working as a 'homemaker hints' columnist in the paper is
by no means the extent of Skeeter's ambitions. Disturbed by the
negative attitude of her friend, Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas
Howard), towards her house staff, Skeeter decides to write a book
chronicling the experiences of the black maids who have spent much
of their lives serving her and her contemporaries. Initially, the
maids seem reluctant and suspicious. However, when the
much-respected Aibileen (Viola Davis) comes forward to offer her
story, the floodgates open and the women take the opportunity to
make themselves heard. Octavia Spencer won an Academy Award for
Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Aibileen's friend,
Minny Jackson, an outspoken maid who finds it difficult to get work
after being fired and eventually decides to share her experiences
with Skeeter.

3* Doody's Star Rating (R) Proper handling and restraint are
essential to the welfare of captive animals, allowing them to be
examined, groomed and treated in ways that contribute to their
optimum quantity and quality of life. The aim of the book is to
prepare future or current veterinarians and veterinary
technologists, technicians/nurses, and assistants to be able to
handle animals more safely and gain the confidence of animals and
their owners. In turn, they will be able to instruct owners in
proper animal handling methods, reducing the risk of physical
injury or mutual infectious diseases. Covers more species and has
greater depth in handling and restraint methods of domestic animals
than any of its predecessors and current competitors. No other
handling book provides this breadth information on the possible
zoonoses (animal to human diseases) that might be encountered in
handling apparently healthy animals. Restraint methods are well
described but not in a list or "cookbook" way, as there are always
nuances in handling each individual animal that require individual
adaptations. Throughout the book, the author emphasises that each
animal is an individual and each handling environment provides its
own advantages and disadvantages: handling an animal safely,
humanely and efficiently requires practical knowledge of the
species' normal behaviour. This is explored in detail in each of
the species-based chapters, which cover proper handling of domestic
household and laboratory animals, as well as farm and ranch animals
where safe handling aids the producer in both humane practice and
greater profitability. After reading this book, the practitioner or
student will be versed in the most basic part of the art of
veterinary medicine: the safe handling of animals. The author's
podcast 'Better Animal Handling' is released every Tuesday at
http://www.buzzsprout.com/688886, discussing content in the book
and describing effective, humane animal handling with emphasis on
safety measures to prevent injury and the transmission of zoonotic
diseases. You can read more on the supporting website:

If You Can Cut, You Can Collage is specially designed for people
who feel like they can't make art. Want to know a secret? You can!
You just need a little inspiration, instruction, and confidence.

for other endeavors. You can still explore and experiment with
color, composition, and various themes and end up with exciting and
often unexpected results. If you Can Cut, You Can Collage takes
some of the mystery out of collage through easy illustrated pages
that show you the basic techniques of collecting and cutting
imagery, composing and adhering compositions, and then provides a
wealth of exercises that get readers going on their own creative
projects. We'll get you started with simple, focused, projects like
making a collage with only circles, where you'll learn important
concepts like how to create a focal point, how to use repetition
successfully, how to achieve contrast, balance, symmetry, and more.

and even urban and found materials in no time!
Another toe-curlingly awkward and laugh-out-loud diary from Chloe Snow, hapless high schooler and all-round disaster magnet.
It's Chloe Snow's sophomore year of high school, and life has only grown more complicated.
Last year, Chloe was the star of the musical. This year, she's just a lowly member of the ensemble. Chloe’s best friend, Hannah, is no help: she’s been sucked into the orbit of Lex, evil Queen Bee of the class. Meanwhile, Chloe’s dad is busy falling in love with Miss Murphy, and her mother is MIA in Mexico with her much younger bullfighting boyfriend, Javi...
If only Chloe could talk to Grady about it - he's easy to talk to. Or he was, until he declared his love for Chloe, she turned him down because despite all her rational brain cells she can't seem to get over Mac, and then Grady promptly started going out with Lex. GAH!
As the performance of the show approaches, Chloe must find a way to navigate all the messy elements of her life and make it through the end of the year.

In A Constitutional Culture, Adrian Chastain Weimer uncovers the
story of how, more than a hundred years before the American
Revolution, colonists pledged their lives and livelihoods to the
defense of local political institutions against arbitrary rule.
With the return of Charles II to the English throne in 1660, the
puritan-led colonies faced enormous pressure to conform to the
crown’s priorities. Charles demanded that puritans change voting
practices, baptismal policies, and laws, and he also cast an eye on
local resources such as forests, a valuable source of masts for the
English navy. Moreover, to enforce these demands, the king sent
four royal commissioners on warships, ostensibly headed for New
Netherland but easily redirected toward Boston. In the face of this
threat to local rule, colonists had to decide whether they would
submit to the commissioners’ authority, which they viewed as
arbitrary because it was not accountable to the people, or whether
they would mobilize to defy the crown. Those resisting the crown
included not just freemen (voters) but also people often seen as
excluded or marginalized such as non-freemen, indentured servants,
and women. Together they crafted a potent regional constitutional
culture in defiance of Charles II that was characterized by a
skepticism of metropolitan ambition, a defense of civil and
religious liberties, and a conviction that self-government was
divinely sanctioned. Weimer shows how they expressed this
constitutional culture through a set of well-rehearsed
practices—including fast days, debates, committee work, and
petitions. Equipped with a ready vocabulary for criticizing
arbitrary rule, with a providentially informed capacity for
risk-taking, and with a set of intellectual frameworks for divided
sovereignty, the constitutional culture that New Englanders forged
would not easily succumb to an imperial authority intent on
consolidating its power.
