How To Write An Offer Letter For A Lease

My mother invited me to play a little game literary while I was abroad, and then I completely forgot.

I just remember, even if it's not really news, I'm paid to exercise. Even if, well, we had made the remark in the comments on this game that this list was purely Anglo-Saxon and therefore not truly representative for French readers.

But let me explain the game: Just select from a predefined list of 100 literary works all those we read. It seems it's the BBC who commissioned this "poll" claiming that most people read 6 pounds or less of this list.

Have you read more books Than 6 of contention? The BBC Believes MOST People Will Have read only 6 of The 100 books listed here. Instructions: Bold Those books you've read In Their Entirety. Italicize The Ones You Started to read only didn't finish gold excerpt year.

Finally, it makes me 32 of that list that I read in my life as a reader that is far from over. Some books on this list, not yet read, are books that I want to read one day (as Children minui t Salman Rushdie The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas , Memory of Geisha Arthur Golden, or James Joyce's Ulysses ).

Being a great reader, they tend to say there are plenty of books that do not know, especially in books called "classics". But this does not mean that most contemporary writers that we read may be more likely are not too good. That just show us the literary treasures that surround us, the immense diversity of literature, and happiness that it can deliver. Each player can create his own list of 100 literary works that have or will have in his life.

Hey, if you tried his hand? ;-)

few riffs for David Gilmour! BookCrossing

Photo taken at the Bookfair 2010

School films, David Gilmour, Publishing Leméac, 2010 (the book is in France under the title The film club , Literature Publishing Leduc.s)

In Jesus of Montreal, a rivalry between two critical theaters leads respectively to say shit. I know I saw at least fifteen times. The first says that Daniel gets away with a first prize in the conservatory, where the other says he is self taught. It's a little big, it's a caricature. A dash of humor loving addition, we include among these a critical Francine Grimaldi on the verge of fainting as she ruffled through the provision players and the depth of the staging. When one loves, one does not count.

So, I am wary of criticism. I can not help it, I just saw fifteen times. Jesus of Montreal means. While this week I finished reading School films of David Gilmour. No report, except that it is one of criticism.

Ah, you learn at school beautiful films. That's another thing on the benches of class livid. David Gilmour can tell us about him, the father with his son, dépatouillent troublemakers from their respective adult and career fluctuating, the young blonde with her sometimes uncompromising, sometimes frivolous and dissatisfied. Shit then, right life, right?

In adolescence, boys have a lot need a father figure. So they say, anyway. Him, his name is Jesse. He has the whole future ahead of him but above all, he is bored to finish high school. And David Gilmour remembers. At a time when the educational model is constantly undermined, challenged by the failure of a system under and less credible by the reforms that we no longer know what they are reforming, the author takes it upon himself to remove his son from school. Condition: three movies a week and it's dad who chooses.

Together, they hit it a bunch of cinoche, but that's not the most important. They will maintain the relationship from that time. Starting with the doubts of the father against his decision. Has not shown too much flippancy? Might he not have any spunk in the air in the education of his little guy? Him open the door wide the plunge? His son can grow outside the system? Because of the sudden, I have to wonder what it is that system. Merde alors!

It does not present us with quite often a teenager in its natural environment. On the ethological point of view, the animal is resistant to many hangovers, a few sentences of heart stinker on numerous discussions with his paternal father, who, year in and year out, fenced to share with him the rudiments love life. We are not this much more fathers struggling with themselves torn between their own experiences that we laugh with time, and the pangs of intergenerational communication.

Is it because I went there? Oh, I do not have the availability of David Gilmour but wants, not want, the issue of school drop begins to take at home, but not frontally same. That of how to share his experience? How could he avoid the bullshit avoid each other we never knew how it yourself? Exactly, David Gilmour does not claim this. He leaves it wallowing if that's where Jesse has to go, but he leaves, looking down, he may reach in extremis and break his fall. So yes, it's touching and yes, it makes you think.

The other character in the story, of course, is the film itself. Now it happens that the first film which he speaks is French, The 400 Blows, but practically the only one. Difficult to be angry with David Gilmour, the English bathed his life in a juice sauce Anglo-Yank. It's not for lack of teaching French in a previous life. Nothing to do, there is evidence on this point, it is damn hard to get out of its cultural canons. Yet. Cinema India. The Soviet cinema. Polish cinema. English cinema or Swedish. The underground cinema. Damn, Quebec cinema!

Another aspect of the Anglo-American culture is the viewer who himself comes from the study of Anglo-American literature. It is art to focus on details as revealing the whole. As legitimizing the whole. Well, I'm lost in there. The tiny gesture of James Dean in Giant m'émouvrait maybe if I remembered to have noticed. Not to notice by itself does not prevent me not to take the measure of a film nor the acting. It is often said wow to the game some players, but the image in film is so big that we sometimes overlook the details and some aspects of the interpretation may go to joliet more than life. It is perhaps the Actors Studio, as to exclaim to the glory of a few pounds had taken De Niro for Raging Bull interpret. To know all this really does nothing to the story we tell about the artist, except that it is a way to further enlarge the frame to put a little more about one that already exists and is called the screen. And who should be self sufficient, no? Is this why David never take Jesse to the movies? If so, he did not speak.

must say that the approach is that of a critical subject, by force of editorial choices, no doubt, to some selection. The beautiful hand cult films, and they may be. And not even the most daring. Not Eyes Wide Shut , not Dancer in the Dark, that is, not movies too ... Those who give just the right time for a company by elsewhere is severely mistreated.

Obviously, there are grandiose films, films that shook us deeply, others that we expose a new point of view, at the same time enlightening us about the stuff that bothers us, exactly. David uses it on purpose, when silence settled between him and his son, when the words of a father might offend or injure, the film takes over and pif paf pouf, the father-son bond is restored because that ultimately, the film is always right. Again, dialogue is important. The dialogue is crucial.

This also why these few lines, this note of humor, oh oh oh, as a thank you to Laetitia - among others - which has provided me the opportunity and I welcome here. So long, partner, and long live romance!

, sharing, giving and green dots!

Dear readers, dear readers,

reading your comments after my previous article I kept thinking about the BookCrossing .

As I explained, I think the only offers bookcrossing not so much a gift as the extension of the property to a circle more or less distant.

Following this article, Sylvie F. proposed instead the idea that books sent in nature were like a bottle thrown into the sea, hoping that someone gets. Clearly, if I understand it, the goal is not so much the fact that the gift to feel connected to each other through sharing.

I had the opportunity to continue my discussion with my friend Benjamin him of the idea of extending property. We drifted on one of our favorite discussions: the notion of ownership of cultural property (cd, books, films, etc. ...).

We were talking and then he explained the case of one of his friends who had to leave his books.

He had several options:

- give them, but that would be interested?

- resell: it requires complex logistics and time-consuming and energy (customer relationship, sending, tracking, etc ...)

- burn: it is not really obvious ...

can be added to this list:

- discard or recycle, but sometimes you have no desire to Nor will we say it's a shame.

Great sharers in the soul, being used heavily to share music recommendations and pictures, they came to the conclusion that the best solution was still a choice. Ie move the object, to let him free once "consumed".

To give a concrete example, imagine that you have books you reread unlikely but want to share them. So you find yourself face to the assumptions mentioned above. The idea then is to offer these books to those who come to visit you for example.

However, this is not necessarily obvious to say: "Oh by the way, if you want I have some old books there, I do not want to. If it tell you ...". And there you stretch your accusing finger towards the stack of books that takes the dust in a corner of the room. It's a bit derogatory - and a bit exaggerated, as an example. Although ...

Instead, we apply the rules of the "fabulous system of green dots (FSPV for friends)!

Ah? Want but what's that "wonderful system? Well it's simple: on each object you do not want, you attach a green dot. Then when someone comes to you, it can take a very natural way the object becomes the property. No need to ask yourself help!

It may then decide to keep the subject ad vitam æternam if he sings or leave the green sticker. It works for books, DeVeDe, the sold, the pressure cookers, t-shirts. In short, basically everything you want to share.

Benjamin went even further: imagine the street, a person walks around with a vest who proudly the green dot. Hop, if you wish, you take the jacket - I'm already imagining the kind of funny situations that might provoke.

much for the FSPV. Basically, like the Bottle Sylvie, objects can travel once "liberated" and thus appropriate and enter into the sphere completely selfless sharing. Except that unlike Bookcrossing , we drop the idea of "GPS" (imagine, moreover, the disastrous impact of bookcrossing under Nixon ...).

Benjamin has suggested creating a small site to offer the System fabulous green pellets. I think I'll try it in "beta mode" with me.

And you what do you think?

2nd Summit on reading: a nation of readers

Marie-Claude Girard

Press
(Posted January 20, 2011 08:45 )

Today starts at the Great Library the 2nd Summit on reading, two days of conferences and exchanges aimed at making Quebec and Canada a society of readers.

For two days, nearly 200 writers, scholars, booksellers, librarians, publishers, teachers, business leaders and other stakeholders in the book world will share their experiences of access to reading and discussing issues Literacy in this 2nd Summit on reading.

Among them, there are writers Antonine Maillet, John Ralston Saul, Rodney Saint-Eloi and children's authors Marie-Louise Gay, Quebec, and Jon Scieszka, the United States.

The ultimate goal: to give Canada a truly national reading campaign supported by the government. Before arriving there, the organizers wish to first educate the public and politicians about the importance of improving capacity and reading habits of Canadians to share the different experiences of access to reading conducted a across the country. The Summit of Montreal is the second in a series of three. The first was held in Toronto last year, the next will be held in Vancouver in 2012.

"The situation is critical that this is a highly developed society economically, but that is not fundamentally a society of readers. This is true for Quebec and English Canada. It remains with the absolute rate of illiteracy and functional very high, "said Jean-Francois Bouchard, editor at Bayard Canada and co-chair the Summit.

It should therefore not be carried away by the reading performance of young Canadians, at the last international survey of the Programme for International Student Assessment, in 2009, ranking 5th among 65 OECD countries. In Quebec, 800 000 people aged 16 to 65, or 1 adult in 6, have serious reading difficulties, according to a report by the Institute of Statistics published in 2006.

"We are a company that has reached modernity by many economic and mediated by television, some by reading, Mr. Bouchard advance. The practice of reading is the practice of development independent of personal thought. It is the development of decision that is at stake in a society where the flow of information has become a key case, the development of personal conscience, freedom of thought is very important. "

He noted that the mobilization is not easy "in a society whose comfortable life is relatively developed. This creates the illusion that part eventually, it can develop without it. "

No blush

debates and conferences on young children and boys - who lag behind girls with regard to reading skills - the newcomers, indigenous and new technologies. A Chinese expert, Li Qingming, director of Nanshan School, affiliated to the China National Institute of Educational Research, will explain the nature of his work for 30 years to promote reading skills in all areas of study.

Tomorrow, the results of reading research conducted by the TD Bank, sponsor of the event will be announced by Craig Alexander, chief economist at the Financial Group.

"In Quebec, it is far from being ashamed of what we do, however, recalls Mr. Bouchard. This is certainly the Canadian province where there are as many initiatives organized. There are at least forty programs organized access to reading, not to mention everything that is done in local libraries. "

Krause's corpuscles

The corpuscles of Krause, Sandra Gordon, Leméac Publishing, 2010

According to the Larousse dictionary, Krause's corpuscles are "small rounded corpuscles found in the connective tissue in the oral mucosa.
They appear to play a role in the perception of cold and pressure. "

On the Wikipedia site can find additional information:" It would appear that these receptors play a role in pleasure as they are present on the glans penis and clitoris.. " Ah well.

"I stumbled upon the term. I have noted some hand and I did a little research. At the time I worked in a hospital, so I took the opportunity to make some loan requests Documentation Centre - a sort of small library where one could bring in articles in medical journals. It allowed me to practice my English. What I read helped me to build a part of the structure of the atmosphere, cohesion and character. Filigree. I saw the corpuscles of Krause as a faculty desiring a check engine human. And I went mainly from that. "

Lucia, a young woman of 24 years scorched by life, left Montreal in the wheel of his rabbit north. His car breaks down in a village in the Laurentians, Design. Until it can run again, Lucia moves to a room above the restaurant in the village and mingle with some of the inhabitants of the place, all the more endearing than the others.

Meanwhile, Henry Korsakoff alcoholic and aging writer, takes his old carcass in search of his own books he wants to destroy a large stake.

What is striking in this first novel, is not so much the style, sometimes confusing and convoluted that the author's great affection for her characters, she portrays a realistic, larger than life . The waitress with a heart to cook the restaurant, a man of many talents, not forgetting of course the central character of Lucia, fragile and that we feel on the thin line between darkness and light. His taste for gin will not help to always get better.

All these beings will come closer thanks to the presence of Lucy, and the latter will find in them a new family, far from toc Sex and fast food she had in Montreal with Geoffrey, who abused her.

If the style seemed to me sometimes opaque, we can not say that Sandra Gordon has no talent for dialogue or that it lacks a punchy tone. But it seemed to me that certain passages would have deserved to be shortened and tightened the writing in places.

Sandra Gordon wrote for several years on his blog and the language is sometimes be handled more naturally in this first novel. But all this does not alter the fact that Quebec remains an author to watch, and this book, which would have gone unnoticed without the work of Rookie of the month, listing all first novels by Quebec authors, is to learn to hear a new and original voice.

What Is Diffrence Fullboard And All Inclusive

Janine Sutto, Living with destiny

Janine Sutto, Living with destiny , biography by Jean-François Lépine, Libre Expression, 2010

A book offered as part of Critical Mass by Babelio.

Immigrants in their adopted country, may find in the literature a great way to learn about the culture locale and identity of their new land.

This is true in Quebec, with the work of Michel Tremblay, particularly The Chronicles of Plateau Mont-Roya l, which as I already said several times on this blog should be reading mandatory for any new entrant, even if all the content is not easy to understand at first glance. The language and the reality of Quebec broaden the vision we can have our own immigration experience.

biographies and autobiographies are somewhat the same role: to locate a person - known or less known - in a specific place, rooted in a particular situation. Often, a biography will cover a historical period more or less long, more or less important. But still, it abounds in details, often new and informative.

With this digression I come to tell you about one of my recent readings, Janine Sutto , Living with destiny , written by Jean-François Lépine, well-known journalist who works for Radio-Canada for many years, current presenter the excellent program on Earth Hour .

This post has been slow to appear because reading the book by Jean-François Lépine was difficult and because, secondly, I do not know how to express my doubt after reading this.

Indeed, this book is a mine of information that lead us into the theater in Quebec, known often too little, but who nevertheless laid the foundation of Quebec popular culture. "Our Lady of the Theater" (nickname given by his friend Janine Sutto Gilles Latulippe) is aptly named, and it is with admiration that we follow the passionate actor in his professional life rich and varied.

But here, the author, who is the son-in-the actress has remained in alignment with facts, written in a language relatively poor, or at least without any originality, and aligning the platitudes and transitions tragic exaggerated and repetitive. He chose to present the life of Janine Sutto in chronological order, however, after this tedious reading, provided a less linear and focused on themes would probably have been more exciting.

"From the moment when Janine asked me to his memoirs, I agreed, but with one condition. As a journalist, I really wanted to get to the bottom of things, both in his private life than his professional life. She has revisited many times in his life with me, and his daughter Mireille [Deyglun] has learned a lot about his mother. "

respect the privacy of the actress, the author discusses his alcoholism that many of her lovers, and his difficult relationship with her daughter Mireille, who has always been accused of having an absent mother . Absent or too focused on her other daughter, Catherine, sister of Mireille and Down syndrome.

There is little doubt that the fact that Jean-François Lépine is the son of Janine Sutto made sure he had access to a wealth of information. But we also feel a certain reserve in his comments in particular on relations between Janine Sutto and daughter Mireille Deyglun (his own wife).

Noting this, one may ask the biographer of hindsight with respect to its subject.

That said, Janine Sutto's career is exceptional and its unique contribution to Quebec theater. Today almost 90 years old, she is also a proud spokesperson for the AMDI (Montral Association for Intellectual Disability) and sponsor of the Alzheimer Baluchon Association.

can often intersect in theater or music, and she is still on stage in Belles sisters, the musical adaptation by René-Richard Cyr, Daniel Bélanger part of Michel Tremblay's Les Belles sister, directed by André Brassard in 1968 at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert, and even then interpreted by Janine Sutto (among others) ...

This fairly conventional biography gives us a picture of a unique woman, strong character. It does not revolutionize the genre, but allows us to realize how the life of a stage actor was difficult and out of the spotlight and fantasies that one can imagine sometimes. The actors of that era - colleagues and friends Janine Sutto - were all involved in improving the condition of artist in Quebec (creation of the Union of Artists ), and laid the foundations for a theatrical life never stop in Quebec, with its ups and downs.

The bookcrossing

Dear readers, dear readers, Happy New Year to you all!

I take this new year to discuss a topic dear to my heart and about which I would like to share with you.

Given the title of the article, you guessed it, this is the BookCrossing . So what is it?
Well it's simple, the BookCrossing is to take one of his books and to release, ie to pass to someone who will then pass to another person. So on.
The "liberation" can be done by hand or in a place chosen. For example, I can drop a book in a park.
Once it disappeared, he begins a second life.
The concept behind is of course the exchange but also permit the tracking of the book at the mercy of people who recover.
Originally, the BookCrossing was created by Ron Hornbaker, an American who decided to create a website dedicated in 2001.
On this site, after creating an account, you can register your book in a virtual library. Then when you decide to release the book, we get a code you entered on the book and so that future readers to say: "I found such work to such a place."

So I also tried the BookCrossing , because I like the idea of double exchange and see my travel books.
Confession: I started to leave the books anyway I never replayed, even those around me made me go. Then, once the first San Antonio and other "Select month" "liberated" in key areas of Bordeaux, I finally decided to take works from my own library.

And to be sure that all those who find the books include the principle of BookCrossing I ordered zolies labels on the website I pasted on the back cover.
On these labels, we recall the principle of operation in ten languages, and records the code book that will find it on the site www.BookCrossing.com.
Each book released, I looked forward to the relevant web page to see how many laps of the globe he had done that day .... Well I know I'm a little optimistic.
After two weeks, after making sure that the book had indeed disappeared from the bench where I had asked, still no news! Nothing! No American greetings, no kisses from Antarctica and even fewer postcards in Papua! Arghhhh!

It took me to the evidence, my book had just disappeared off the surface of the planet!

Upon reflection, I imagined the following assumptions:
- Either I'm impatient and it needs time to "discoverer" to read the book before going on the site indicate that it has been found
- Either the book will find himself freed imprisoned without a word in another library ... Snif ...
- Let the guys in the street have done their job ...
- Either anti-terrorist squad has decreed my plastic package containing the book was actually a bomb or anthrax or god knows what what.
- The previous assumption works for the brigade anti-drug ...
- The extra-terrestrial! Aliens, my ancestors!

A year later, still no news. For any of the books released ... Have they been kidnapped?
Despite the disappointment, this does not prevent me to expand the concept a little and drop the whole "marketing".
Basically, I stopped recording my books on the site. Gone are the ISBN numbers, descriptions, comments, etc. ... And then I just gave my books.
In fact, my darling who put the books in the corner cafe and then as we have not heard from either, we have dropped the labels .... And eventually learn that the retirement home next door was satisfied. So our books
make our loved ones happy retirees.

In discussing a little to the right, left, and on reflection I realized that if the basic concept of BookCrossing , see his book passed from hand to hand and maybe go around the moooonde is really attractive, in practice it is ultimately a bit restrictive and very consumerist. In fact

sharing Book as proposed by the platform is a conditional gift. It gives the book on condition that it can travel and we realize how we were generous. Basically, it's a gift person, a gift that flatters the ego, certainly a gift, but enrolled in this twentieth century focused on property, on the need to live by and through objects.

One of my friends who have loved books and would not want to end up deprived of the joy of being able to read the scroll, perhaps feeling the smell of their pages, maybe a perfume, dust sometimes , found as a form of sharing multiple purchases One for him, three or four to offer its relatives.
He retains ownership but moved others to discover the work and to include their personal assets.

To finish this short article. Ultimately unconvinced by the BookCrossing collector and not enough to want to preserve at all costs all my books, I decided as I said simply give them away.

How is this possible?
Well I left the following findings:
- There are very few books that I actually reread
- If I need to find a book that I gave, I have all the chances, except when very particular, to find them later in a library or a bookstore

admit: like BookCrossing , it was not obvious at first. Never give a clear act, especially when what you give seems to be a mirror of self. In this case, in every book I found a bit of my soul. The books I read have all managed to make me share a story to draw me into another world. I have lived with each of them an intimate, unique. How to get rid of all these passions?
In pain first. Then out of envy that others are experiencing the same thing and somehow get closer to me, not necessarily tell me, but just by the act, the passage from one hand to another ...

Finally, I think I've found, for me anyway, the method for both exchange and the authors make immortal! Oh my!
For cons, I'm not sure it fills their pockets;)

The BookCrossing , how complicated when you can make true!

And you what do you think?
