Libraries and bookstores. What's the difference?

Today I received many visits in the library. Everybody was looking for the bookstore to purchase uniforms and books. Sometimes I had to explain to my students the differences between library and bookstore and they understand the reasons. But now I can see the problem. Even the older people, parents and other persons, don't know anything about it and call a place like a library a bookstore. Now I understand. We must teach everything about everything. Knowledge doesnt occupy place in our heads. 

So I decided to share this article:

One of the frequent comments that people, particularly young persons, make in and about public libraries concerns the age and appearance of what is present on the shelf. Most often these complaints are about material appearing to be old and, well, not always new and current like what is available in a bookstore. It is important to understand that there are differences in the purposes and functions of a public library and a bookstore, although there is a growing blurring of distinctions between the two institutions. Both places are vastly different from the past, where they were once perceived as cold and impersonal, but now are seen as being friendly and inviting to visitors.

A library is responsible for serving the information needs of the community in which it is present, and this is a matter of serving an often diverse audience. The first thing that mosr people think about is the educational material used by children and adult students, and this is an important audience that is served. It is not the matter of school textbooks being carried, but the supplemental and additional resources as well. These include the various encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases and maps, directories, handbooks, and almanacs, as well as the works covering history, literature, drama, art and science. Frequently these are classic works that contain valid information, but are often out of print.

A bookstore is a for-profit business that is concerned with selling books and magazines, as well as various forms of media including music, DVD, and recordings of the spoken word. The inventory carried in such a business is often determined by consumer interest, and the likelihood of items being purchased. Similar to a library, there are various ways of determining what to make available to customers. Factors for analysis include records of past sales, customer feedback, and staying aware of forthcoming material and developing trends. While there is overlap between the audiences and customers served in a library and a bookstore, a bookstore usually serves a somewhat narrower audience.

The main difference between a library and a bookstore is that material belonging to the library is normally available for borrowing, free of charge, for a set period of time, after which it is to be returned. In a bookstore, the items selected are purchased outrightly from the store, and become the personal property of the customer. The goal of both places is to get people to read, and to keep them reading.

Jesse Owens Biography and Quotes - Biography.com

By Leila Taha



Jesse Owens, a record-breaking Olympic sprinter and the best athlete of his time, spent much of his life struggling with issues of race. Unlike other athletes of his era, Owens' day-to-day life was defined—and restricted—by his color. He suffered humiliating treatment even as he was revered as the most successful athlete of the day, winning four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics during Hitler's Germany. But the racism he experienced in a country on the brink of ethnic cleansing was hardly worse than what he faced back home in the United States.

For years after his athletic career winded down, Owens endured a personal struggle, leading him to prize wealth over principles as he criticized Civil Rights leaders of the late 60s. In the decade before his death, his philosophy on race relations progressed, and he finally advocated the Civil Rights Movement.

Jesse Owens was born James Clevelend Owens in Alabama in 1913, the youngest in a family of 10 children. When he was 9 years old, his parents relocated the family to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of better economic opportunity. It was there that Owens discovered his passion and talent for running. In junior high school, he met a coach whom he believed set him on the path to athletic success. Later in high school, he tied the world record for the 100-yard dash and the long jump, as well as set a new record for the 220-yard dash.

Owens attended Ohio State University, where his athletic success continued, but the racism and discrimination that was common in the 1930s became a detriment to his training and racing. Unlike his teammates, Owens was not allowed to live on campus because the university did not have housing for black students. Nor was he provided a scholarship, a privilege that would be standard for any white athlete of his caliber. When he traveled with the team to compete, he had to stay in separate hotels and eat in separate restaurants from the rest of the Ohio State track team.

Watch this clip of Jesse Owens:

Jesse Owens was a very successful college track star, but where he truly earned his fame was at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. The international sporting competition was rife with political controversy imposed largely by Adolf Hitler, then the German premier. Hitler’s staging of the games was largely intended to showcase white supremacy, and the very presence of a successful black athlete was a threat. And yet Owens’ Olympics performance was unlike any before it, or since. He won four gold medals and set new world records in the 200-meter race, long jump, 400-meter relay, and he tied the world record for the 100-meter dash. He had become the best athlete in the world.

His stay in Germany showed Owens that a different life was possible for him as a black man. Unlike back home in the United States, in Germany Owens trained, traveled and stayed in the same hotels as his white teammates. In the United States, Owens was asked to ride a hotel’s freight elevator to get to a reception being held in his honor.

Upon his return to the United States, Owens was faced with fresh challenges. He did not come home to the reception expected for such a winning Olympian. He was not invited to the White House and was personally insulted that he was not offered any honors by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. “After I came home from the 1936 Olympics with my four medals, it became increasingly apparent that everyone was going to slap me on the back, want to shake my hand, or have me up to their suite. But no one was going to offer me a job,” he later said.

Due to time spent training and competing at the Olympic level, Owens’ academics suffered, and he was declared ineligible to compete at the university level. He gave up on his education and began pursuing other career opportunities, from starting a Negro baseball league to opening a dry cleaning business. Three years after his Olympic success, he declared bankruptcy.




Despite his gold medals, Owens was still a student and had to pump gas during the summers to support his family. (Aug. 1, 1935)

Owens was censured for giving up on amateur athletics in pursuit of financial gain in other fields. But he argued that his hand was forced by the discriminatory policies he had faced throughout his athletic career, such as not being eligible for scholarships in college and therefore struggling to squeeze in classes between training and working to pay his way. In an interview in 1971, he addressed the criticism head on, saying, “ I had four gold medals, but you can't eat four gold medals. There was no television, no big advertising, no endorsements then. Not for a black man, anyway.”

His post-1936 experiences seemed to shape his philosophy about race relations in the United States. Owens believed that blacks should fight for power through economic, not political means. In 1968, when Tommie Smith and John Carlos famously gave a black power salute while receiving their medals in the Summer Games in Mexico City for the 200-meter race, Owens spoke against them.

“The black fist is a meaningless symbol. When you open it, you have nothing but fingers—weak, empty fingers. The only time the black fist has significance is when there's money inside. There's where the power lies,” Owens said at the time.

In his older age, his philosophy seemed to have developed in the opposite direction, and he spoke out in favor of the Civil Rights Movement and even criticized his own previous statements.

In 1980, Jesse Owens died of lung cancer. It is unthinkable in the modern era that any athlete, much less a runner, would be a smoker, but he was for the most of his life.

Un dia en la Historia. Biografia de Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka

(Praga, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor checo en lengua alemana. Nacido en el seno de una familia de comerciantes judíos, Franz Kafka se formó en un ambiente cultural alemán, y se doctoró en derecho. Pronto empezó a interesarse por la mística y la religión judías, que ejercieron sobre él una notable influencia y favorecieron su adhesión al sionismo.

Su proyecto de emigrar a Palestina se vio frustrado en 1917 al padecer los primeros síntomas de tuberculosis, que sería la causante de su muerte. A pesar de la enfermedad, de la hostilidad manifiesta de su familia hacia su vocación literaria, de sus cinco tentativas matrimoniales frustradas y de su empleo de burócrata en una compañía de seguros de Praga, Franz Kafka se dedicó intensamente a la literatura.

Su obra, que nos ha llegado en contra de su voluntad expresa, pues ordenó a su íntimo amigo y consejero literario Max Brod que, a su muerte, quemara todos sus manuscritos, constituye una de las cumbres de la literatura alemana y se cuenta entre las más influyentes e innovadoras del siglo XX.

En la línea de la Escuela de Praga, de la que es el miembro más destacado, la escritura de Kafka se caracteriza por una marcada vocación metafísica y una síntesis de absurdo, ironía y lucidez. Ese mundo de sueños, que describe paradójicamente con un realismo minucioso, ya se halla presente en su primera novela corta, Descripción de una lucha, que apareció parcialmente en la revista Hyperion, que dirigía Franz Blei.

En 1913, el editor Rowohlt accedió a publicar su primer libro, Meditaciones, que reunía extractos de su diario personal, pequeños fragmentos en prosa de una inquietud espiritual penetrante y un estilo profundamente innovador, a la vez lírico, dramático y melodioso. Sin embargo, el libro pasó desapercibido; los siguientes tampoco obtendrían ningún éxito, fuera de un círculo íntimo de amigos y admiradores incondicionales. 

El estallido de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el fracaso de un noviazgo en el que había depositado todas sus esperanzas señalaron el inicio de una etapa creativa prolífica. Entre 1913 y 1919 Franz Kafka escribió El proceso, La metamorfosis y La condena y publicó El chófer, que incorporaría más adelante a su novela América, En la colonia penitenciaria y el volumen de relatos Un médico rural.

A day in History. Hellen Keller

SynopsisHelen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. In 1882, she fell ill and was struck blind, deaf and mute. Beginning in 1887, Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her make tremendous progress with her ability to communicate, and Keller went on to college, graduating in 1904. In 1920, Keller helped found the ACLU. During her lifetime, she received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments.
Quotes
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow."
– Helen Keller
Early Life
Helen Keller was the first of two daughters born to Arthur H. Keller and Katherine Adams Keller. She also had two older stepbrothers. Keller's father had proudly served as an officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The family was not particularly wealthy and earned income from their cotton plantation. Later, Arthur became the editor of a weekly local newspaper, the North Alabamian.
Keller was born with her senses of sight and hearing, and started speaking when she was just 6 months old. She started walking at the age of 1.

Loss of Sight and Hearing
In 1882, however, Keller contracted an illness—called "brain fever" by the family doctor—that produced a high body temperature. The true nature of the illness remains a mystery today, though some experts believe it might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. Within a few days after the fever broke, Keller's mother noticed that her daughter didn't show any reaction when the dinner bell was rung, or when a hand was waved in front of her face. Keller had lost both her sight and hearing. She was just 18 months old.

As Keller grew into childhood, she developed a limited method of communication with her companion, Martha Washington, the young daughter of the family cook. The two had created a type of sign language, and by the time Keller was 7, they had invented more than 60 signs to communicate with each other. But Keller had become very wild and unruly during this time. She would kick and scream when angry, and giggle uncontrollably when happy. She tormented Martha and inflicted raging tantrums on her parents. Many family relatives felt she should be institutionalized.
Educator Ann Sullivan

Looking for answers and inspiration, in 1886, Keller's mother came across a travelogue by Charles Dickens, American Notes. She read of the successful education of another deaf and blind child, Laura Bridgman, and soon dispatched Keller and her father to Baltimore, Maryland to see specialist Dr. J. Julian Chisolm. After examining Keller, Chisolm recommended that she see Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, who was working with deaf children at the time. Bell met with Keller and her parents, and suggested that they travel to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston, Massachusetts. There, the family met with the school's director, Michael Anaganos. He suggested Helen work with one of the institute's most recent graduates, Anne Sullivan. And so began a 49-year relationship between teacher and pupil.

In March 1887, Sullivan went to Keller's home in Alabama and immediately went to work. She began by teaching Helen finger spelling, starting with the word "doll," to help Keller understand the gift of a doll she had brought along. Other words would follow. At first, Keller was curious, then defiant, refusing to cooperate with Sullivan's instruction. When Keller did cooperate, Sullivan could tell that she wasn't making the connection between the objects and the letters spelled out in her hand. Sullivan kept working at it, forcing Helen to go through the regimen.

As Keller's frustration grew, the tantrums increased. Finally, Sullivan demanded that she and Keller be isolated from the rest of the family for a time, so that Keller could concentrate only on Sullivan's instruction. They moved to a cottage on the plantation.

In a dramatic struggle, Sullivan taught Keller the word "water"; she helped her make the connection between the object and the letters by taking Keller out to the water pump, and placing Keller's hand under the spout.

While Sullivan moved the lever to flush cool water over Keller's hand, she spelled out the word w-a-t-e-r on Helen's other hand. Keller understood and repeated the word in Sullivan's hand. She then pounded the ground, demanding to know its "letter name." Sullivan followed her, spelling out the word into her hand. Keller moved to other objects with Sullivan in tow. By nightfall, she had learned 30 words.

A Formal Education
In 1890, Keller began speech classes at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Boston. She would toil for 25 years to learn to speak so that others could understand her. From 1894 to 1896, she attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York City. There, she worked on improving her communication skills and studied regular academic subjects.

Around this time, Keller became determined to attend college. In 1896, she attended the Cambridge School for Young Ladies, a preparatory school for women. As her story became known to the general public, Keller began to meet famous and influential people. One of them was the writer Mark Twain, who was very impressed with her. They became friends. Twain introduced her to his friend Henry H. Rogers, a Standard Oil executive. Rogers was so impressed with Keller's talent, drive and determination that he agreed to pay for her to attend Radcliff College. There, she was accompanied by Sullivan, who sat by her side to interpret lectures and texts.

By this time, Keller had mastered several methods of communication, including touch-lip reading, Braille, speech, typing and finger-spelling. With the help of Sullivan and Sullivan's future husband, John Macy, Keller wrote her first book, The Story of My Life. It covered her transformation from childhood to 21-year-old college student. Keller graduated, cum laude, from Radcliffe in 1904, at the age of 24.

In 1905, Sullivan married John Macy, an instructor at Harvard University, a social critic and a prominent socialist. After the marriage, Sullivan continued to be Keller's guide and mentor. When Keller went to live with the Macys, they both initially gave Keller their undivided attention. Gradually, however, Anne and John became distant to each other, as Anne's devotion to Keller continued unabated. After several years, they separated, though were never divorced.
Social Activism

After college, Keller set out to learn more about the world and how she could help improve the lives of others. News of her story spread beyond Massachusetts and New England. She became a well-known celebrity and lecturer by sharing her experiences with audiences, and working on behalf of others living with disabilities. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Keller tackled social and political issues, including women's suffrage, pacifism and birth control. She testified before Congress, strongly advocating to improve the welfare of blind people. In 1915, along with renowned city planner George Kessler, she co-founded Helen Keller International to combat the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition. In 1920, she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union.

When the American Federation for the Blind was established in 1921, Keller had an effective national outlet for her efforts. She became a member in 1924, and participated in many

campaigns to raise awareness, money and support for the blind. She also joined other organizations dedicated to helping those less fortunate, including the Permanent Blind War Relief Fund (later called the American Braille Press).

Soon after she graduated from college, Keller became a member of the Socialist Party, most likely due in part to her friendship with John Macy. Between 1909 and 1921, she wrote several articles about socialism and supported Eugene Debs,  a Socialist Party presidential candidate. Her series of essays on socialism, entitled "Out of the Dark," described her views on socialism and world affairs.

It was during this time that Keller first experienced public prejudice about her disabilities. For most of her life, the press had been overwhelmingly supportive of her, praising her courage and intelligence. But after she expressed her socialist views, some criticized her by calling attention to her disabilities. One newspaper, the Brooklyn Eagle, wrote that her "mistakes sprung out of the manifest limitations of her development."


Work and Influence
In 1936, Keller's beloved teacher and devoted companion, Anne Sullivan, died. She had experienced health problems for several years and, in 1932, lost her eyesight completely. A young woman named Polly Thompson, who had begun working as a secretary for Keller and Sullivan in 1914, became Keller's constant companion upon Sullivan's death.

In 1946, Keller was appointed counselor of international relations for the American Foundation of Overseas Blind. Between 1946 and 1957, she traveled to 35 countries on five continents. In 1955, at age 75, Keller embarked on the longest and most grueling trip of her life: a 40,000-mile, five-month trek across Asia. Through her many speeches and appearances, she brought inspiration and encouragement to millions of people.

Keller's autobiography, The Story of My Life, was used as the basis for 1957 television drama The Miracle Worker. In 1959, the story was developed into a Broadway play of the same title, starring Patty Duke as Keller and Anne Bancroft as Sullivan. The two actresses also performed those roles in the 1962 award-winning film version of the play.
Death and Legacy

Keller suffered a series of strokes in 1961, and spent the remaining years of her life at her home in Connecticut. During her lifetime, she received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments, including the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal in 1936, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964, and election to the Women's Hall of Fame in 1965. She also received honorary doctoral degrees from Temple University and Harvard University and from the universities of Glasgow, Scotland; Berlin, Germany; Delhi, India; and Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Additionally, she was named an Honorary Fellow of the Educational Institute of Scotland.

Keller died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, just a few weeks before her 88th birthday. During her remarkable life, Keller stood as a powerful example of how determination, hard work, and imagination can allow an individual to triumph over adversity. By overcoming difficult conditions with a great deal of persistence, she grew into a respected and world-renowned activist who labored for the betterment of others.

¿Cienta o ciento? De nuestro lenguaje y otros demonios.

Siempre me ha gustado defender la pureza de mi idioma Español a pesar de los miles de cambios que durante toda su existencia ha sido ser sometido. Respeto, además, todos los criollismos o cambios en nuestra lengua debido a los aportes que cada país hace al Español por cuestiones meramente semánticas o simplemente por la riqueza que cada quien aporta al mismo.

Hace poco leía este artículo:
El señor discute con su compadre? ¿Qué te pasa compadre? ¿Cómo que ?la azúcar?? Lo correcto es ?el azúcar??. Y el otro: El que estás mal eres tú compadrito del alma? y total acaban apostando una cena y buscan a un ?experto? para que les dé la solución.

Luego resulta que el ?experto? les dice que es correcto de las dos maneras, y se frustran. Pero es que así es el lenguaje. El lenguaje es un ser vivo. Constantemente está cambiando, por lo tanto no es ni puede ser una ciencia exacta.

Pensemos en que Don Quijote decía ?trujimos? en lugar de ?trajimos? y eso no es porque Cervantes no supiera escribir. En su época así se decía. Con el tiempo el idioma evolucionó y cambió, pero no hubo nunca un decreto que dijera: A partir de mañana, ya no se va a decir ?trujimos? sino ?trajimos?.http://www.elsiglodetorreon.com.mx/noticia/146457.html

Lo que aprendí de todo esto es que cada quien hace sus aportes y nuestro idioma es también, como yo lo veo, un ser cambiante. Pero hay ciertas normas que debemos respetar. Y este es mi caso.

Llevo viviendo en República Dominicana más de 4 años ya y bendigo y amo este país que me recibió y jamás cuestionó mis creencias religiosas y políticas para nada, algo difícil de concebir para un cubano. Por supuesto que el habla y las diferencias en cuanto a regionalismos fue grande pero poco a poco me fui habituando pues el lenguaje y su aprendizaje en cada región donde te encuentres es signo también de asimilación cultural. Pero hay una palabra que aun me choca cada vez la escucho, la palabra ''CIENTO''. Sí, ciento, de centena y lo primero que hago es buscar el significado en RAE (REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA) y encuentro esto:

ciento.
(Del lat. centum).
1. adj. Diez veces diez.
2. adj. centésimo (‖ ordinal). Número ciento. Año ciento.
3. m. Signo o conjunto de signos con que se representa el número ciento. En la pared había un ciento medio borrado.
4. m. centena (‖ conjunto de 100 unidades). Un ciento de huevos, de agujas.
En Dominicana, principalmente en el habla popular, es muy común escuchar:
Esa cerda pesó cienta una libras.

Aquello me resultó algo raro.
-¿Cienta? - Pregunté.
- Es que la cerda es hembra y hay que decir cienta pues es femenino.

Respetando lo que esa persona me dijo me quedo callado hasta que me doy cuenta que es de uso común. Pero una cosa es lo popular y otra muy distinta a que hasta incluso en programas de televisión se permita que se hable de esta forma. El canibalismo de las S y el uso incorrecto de palabras como esa en el principal medio de difusión del país solo ayuda a fomentar mas el desconocimiento y el uso indebido de nuestro lenguaje. Es de forma radical que debemos enfrentar estos males como la introducción y uso de lenguaje vulgar por parte de presentadores de programas de alto rating tanto en radio como en tv donde constantemente se descuida o no se tienen normas sobre el uso. Tal vez falta de formación, de instrucción y de otros valores que no sean solo de cara bonita o de facilidad de mal lenguaje.
Todo esto unido a un programa de Español en las escuelas que es extremadamente débil y sin enfocarse en la lectura o en la promoción de títulos que sean verdaderas obras del idioma español más la falta de interés de las políticas estatales harán que en vez de hablar, solo ladremos.

En torno al género.
1- Si el nombre en masculino termina con -o, en femenino termina con el morfema de género -a.
2- Existen excepciones como el día, el mapa y muchas palabras de origen griego que terminan en -ma y -ta son masculinas, no femeninas como el clima, el cometa, el crucigrama, el drama, el fantasma, el idioma, el panorama, el planeta, el poema, el poeta, el problema, el programa, el sistema, el telegrama, el tema.
3- Las letras del alfabeto son femeninas.
4- Los números cardinales son masculinos.
