The Committee gratefully acknowledges the generous contributions that their families have made in their memory. The publication of the 2021 edition of The Best Children’s Books of the Year was made possible with the assistance of the many publishers who helped the Children’s Book Committee receive books in non-traditional ways throughout the pandemic. Special thanks to John Rolander, our “bike courier extraordinaire,” who distributed books throughout New York City. The print edition was made possible by the generous support of The Helping Hands Fund in memory of RaeLee Thompson. Finally, a special thank you this year to the members of the Bank Street Children’s Book Committee, whose technological skills grew exponentially as we continued the work of reading, sharing, and reviewing via Zoom.

Burg (Scholastic Press) The Flora Stieglitz Straus Award for a distinguished work of nonfiction that serves as an inspiration to young readers (for younger readers) Lizzie Demands a Seat!: Elizabeth Jennings Fights for Streetcar Rights by Beth Anderson, illustrated by E. B. Lewis (Calkins Creek/Boyds Mills & Kane) (for older readers) All Thirteen: The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys’ Soccer Team by Christina Soontornvat (Candlewick Press) In evaluating books for their literary merit, the Bank Street Children’s Book Committee (CBC) recognizes the importance of diversity in children’s literature and acknowledges and celebrates the voices and cultures of all of our readers. Diversity encompasses the varied and unique identities, experiences, perspectives, and cultural communities of a book’s main and supporting characters, whose attributes include (but are not limited to) race, ethnicity, gender, abilities, sexuality, class, religion, and family structure. All children benefit from seeing themselves reflected in what they read, and from seeing characters with different identities, depicted accurately and without stereotypes in texts and/or illustrations. The CBC values representations of characters who are change agents and advocates for social justice, inclusivity, and equity. In accordance with the Committee’s goal of modeling proper sourcing of nonfiction writing, all listed informational books for children nine and older must contain supporting references including, at a minimum, sources, quote attributions, and photo credits. Book annotations may also include the term “back matter” to indicate that there is additional reference material provided.

The speed I paint – do not demand but with encouraged growth let my palette expand. Given the power to hold the brush so I may paint my own potential, my passion never told to hush, my picture exponential. Unique by design, equal in each degree, I ask you not to talk about, but to talk instead with me. Dignity deserved, preserve my independence and advocate that I may have the right to choose the colours with which I paint. Brigid O’Dea Report of the Áras Attracta Swinford Review Group July 2016 __ Following the broadcast of the Prime Time programme ‘Inside Bungalow 3’ by RTE, the Áras Attracta Swinford Review Group was established by the Health Service Executive to undertake an independent review of the quality of care being provided in Áras Attracta. The findings of the Review Group are presented over a series of three reports. What matters most sets out the findings of the Review Group in relation to Áras Attracta itself. It includes recommendations relating to Áras Attracta management, actions for the HSE at a national level, and a ‘road map’ to guide all managers of congregated settings as they move towards decongregation. Time for action deals with the wider system of service provision for people with a disability, and proposes a range of actions including 55 priority actions that emerged from a national process of consultation with stakeholders involved in disability services and the wider public.

    File riservato ad esclusivo fine di studio File riservato ad esclusivo fine di studio JusQuid sezione scientifica Nella Sezione scientifica della Collana IusQuid sono pubblicate opere sottoposte a revi- sione valutativa con il procedimento in «doppio cieco» (double blind peer review process), nel rispetto dell’anonimato dell’autore e dei due revisori. I revisori sono professori di provata esperienza scientifica, italiani o stranieri, o ricercatori di istituti di ricerca notoriamente affidabili. Il revisore che accetti l’incarico di valutazione, formula il suo giudizio tramite applicazione di punteggio da 1 a 10 (sufficienza: 6 punti) in relazione ad ognuno dei seguenti profili: struttura (coerenza e chiarezza dell’impianto logico, metodologia); riferimenti normativi, dottrinali e giurisprudenziali; correttezza espositiva; ar- gomentazione critica e propositiva; bibliografia; rilevanza scientifica nel panorama nazionale (e internazionale, se ricorre l’esigenza relativa a questo profilo). Precisa se l’opera sia pubblica- bile senza modifiche o previo apporto di modifiche, o se sia da rivedere, oppure da rigettare, e comunque dà opportune indicazioni. Nel caso di giudizio discordante fra i due revisori, la decisione finale sarà assunta dal direttore responsabile della Collana e dal comitato scientifico, salvo casi particolari in cui il direttore medesimo provvederà a nominare un terzo revisore cui rimettere la valutazione dell’elaborato. Le valutazioni sono trasmesse, rispettando l’anonimato del revisore, all’autore dell’opera. L’elenco dei revisori e le schede di valutazione sono conservati presso la sede della Collana, a cura del direttore. Il termine per lo svolgimento dell’incarico di valutazione accettato è di venti giorni, salvo espressa proroga, decorsi i quali, previa sollecitazione e in assenza di osservazioni negative entro dieci giorni, il direttore della Collana e il comitato scientifico, qualora ritengano l’o- pera meritevole, considerano approvata la proposta.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
