September 2018 September 2018 The monthly newsletter of the G I Y C ’ Well, it was nice to have a warm summer to enjoy the water, sun and fresh air and I am looking forward to football, cooler nights and squeezing in some more boat and club time as we approach fall. A big thank you to everyone who attended the festivities at the mid-August DYC Rendezvous. It was a wonderful event that started out with a great dinner for 40 at the Detroit Athlet- ic Center with a scenic roof top view of Detroit. About 24 boats participated in the event at DYC, who is celebrating their 150th anniversary. A great pot- luck breakfast was served on Satur- day on the waterfront followed by a noonish rum party to start to afternoon. DYC also has a great pool to cool off. If you missed this year please plan to make it for the 2019 Rendezvous. Thanks to everyone who participated in the August 26th “National Dog Appreciation Day” Dog Days of Summer celebration at GIYC. We had big ones, little ones and some in between with lots of smiling faces and “tails a waggin”. The hot dog party was also a great way to spend a few hours on the beautiful grounds of GIYC. As you can see in the September calendar summary below there are still a lot of fun times to be had. Come on down to the club for the pot luck on Labor day !!! This month’s historical Spray cover is of three GIYC boys getting some late summer play time in on Labor Day weekend before school starts up.

Because of my interest in history I will be focusing the Spray cover this year on a progression of images from the club beginnings in the early 1930’s to today. More history can be found on the website and the framed history documents at the top of the stair by the lift. Commodore Roy Baker A S we put the dog days of August to rest we look forward to tuning off those AC units and enjoying a little cooler weather. So, let’s look at some of the ways we can celebrate in September; • 3 Labor Day • 9 Grandparents Day • 11 Patriot Day • 17 Constitution Day For the interesting; September 6 Read a Book Day Possibly created by a bibliophile, the unofficial holiday encourages people to pick up a book and immerse themselves in it. Lowers Stress Research has shown that reading can have several health and social benefits. Fre- quent readers tend to have lower stress levels than non-readers. In addition, reading can stimulate brain activity and improve memory. Socially, reading can reap a lot of benefits - well-read people tend to be more empathetic and aware of societal ills and differences. Reading can also improve critical thinking and comprehension skills and can make people better writers. How to Celebrate? Whether you are a fan of fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, history, medical literature, short stories or any of the hundreds of genre of literature out there, here are some ways you can celebrate Read a Book Day: • Read that book you have always been meaning to pick up and read. • Revisit your favorite book and read it again. • Join a local book club so that you have more motivation to read. • If you are already a part of a book club, what about organizing a book party for them? Invite all the book club members and discuss a book while enjoying dishes inspired by your favorite books. • Learn more about the life and work of your favorite author. • Visit your local library, and if you are not already a member, become one. • Support your local library or any reading initiatives that exist in your neighborhood by volun- teering your time, money or expertise. Did You Know... that the Japanese word tsundoku refers to the act of piling up books without reading them? We have all been guilty one time or the other of buying multiple books and letting them pile without ever getting around to reading them. September 16 Guacamole Day (Yes to that!) Add delicious guacamole to everything you eat to- day. Usually eaten as a side-dish, guacamole has been a part of traditional Mexican cuisine since the time of the Aztecs. Today, the dip, whose name comes from an Aztec dialect Nahuatl and means guacamole sauce, is a popular side-dish, salad addition and party dip all around the world. Mostly Avocado Traditionally, the dish is made by mashing avocados in a mortar and pestle and adding chopped onions, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice and cumin to it. Guacamole is informally called guac in the United States and Canada. Healthy Fruit Avocados are fruit native to Mexico and Central America are considered to be a good source for Vitamin K and some types of vitamin B. The holiday is also called National Guacamole Day in the U.S. How to Celebrate? • With lots of guacamole, of course! • Have guacamole for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Have it with your bacon and eggs for breakfast, use it as a spread for your sandwich at lunch, add it your salad at dinner, or if you are like us eat a bowlful of yummy guacamole by itself! • Ever tried to make a sweet guacamole? In Sri Lanka, mashed avocado is mixed with milk and sug- ar or syrup and eaten as a dessert. Did You Know… that avocados are also known as alligator pear owing to the texture of its skin September 30 Hot Mulled Cider Day (yes, it’s that time already!) Hot Mulled Cider Day is a made up holiday that celebrates the beverage made out of warm apple cider mixed with brown sugar and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and cloves. How to Celebrate? • Make a batch of hot mulled cider and share it with family and friends. • Add some alcohol to the cider to make an adult beverage. Did You Know… …that technically cider is an alcoholic beverage made out of fermented apple juice? In many parts of the world, however, cider usually refers to non alcoholic fermented apple juice, while hard cider refers to the alcoholic version of the juice Reminders: Monday September 3rd Labor Day staycation, Tim Ames (DJ) will be performing at the club from 2- 5p. Hope to see you there. The winter rendezvous in Savannah, GA is March 3rd – 7th . Have a wonderful staycation at GIYC. Be safe and see you on the water. Be well, Vice Commodore Gary Dust Music on the Patio Sunday, September 2, 2018 2:00-5:00 “Which way the wind blows” I n days of old, it was imperative that sailors knew pre- cisely from which direction and at what strength the wind was blowing. Having the "weather gage" allowed Admiral Lord Nelson to attack and defeat the com- bined Franco-Spanish fleet in the battle of Trafalgar. In spite of light air and being out numbered, the advantage proved the difference in the outcome. Knowing from which way the wind blows is one of the tasks our Board of Directors faces. They need to have a good sense of the direction the members want to take the club and be a good judge of the storms to be faced in the year to come. This year, a significant number of the board positions are open for members to fill. More than half of the 9-member board positions need to be filled this year. Club Bylaws require two candidates for each opening so, counting the 2 candidates for Rear Commodore, the Nominating Committee, con- sisting of Commodore Roy Baker, P/C Terry McCarthy, P/C John Clark, Ron Konczalski, and Rob Doss, will have their hands full finding 12 people willing and able to place their names on the ballot. Please give the opportunity to help steer this club on a safe and steady course serious thought if ap- proached by the committee or if you feel you would make a good candidate, let them know of your interest. The club needs strong leadership with a good sense of "Which way the wind blows". Great People. Great Lakes. Great Times. Lots of activities coming up in the month of September. Come on down and spend some time with your friends and make some new ones along the way. Sick Bay: Please keep the following in your thoughts and prayers: All our members and their children that are serving in the military or in public duty that keeps them away from their families. Please pray for our son Lt. Ralph P. Duffett USN as he departs on his second deployment in service to our country. Anyone else that has need for comfort or support at this time of year as well. Announcements: Please be reminded to send me an email with announcements or information regarding those in need of our prayers and any joyous news you wish to share.

    Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav informační studia a knihovnictví BAKALÁŘSKÁ PRÁCE Natálie Kubálková Jan Loužil – bibliofil Jan Loužil - Bibliophile Praha 2020 Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Richard Šípek, Ph.D. Poděkování Chtěla bych poděkovat panu PhDr. Richardu Šípkovi, Ph.D. za jeho odborné vedení, cenné poznámky, vstřícnost při zpracování této práce, profesionalitu, trpělivost a možnost osobních konzultací. V neposlední řadě patří obrovské poděkování mé rodině, bez které bych tuto práci nemohla dokončit. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem bakalářskou práci vypracovala samostatně, že jsem řádně citovala všechny použité prameny a literaturu a že práce nebyla využita v rámci jiného vysokoškolského studia či k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Praze dne Jméno autora …………………… Abstrakt Jan Loužil, jaroměřský zubař, je dosud málo známou osobností mezi českými bibliofily československé první republiky, přestože byl rovněž nakladatelsky činný v oblasti krásné knihy, jak dokládá několik jeho bibliofilských edic děl Rudolfa Těsnohlídka, F. X. Šaldy, Josefa Pekaře či Karla Čapka z 20. a 30. let minulého století. Práce zhodnotí místo osobnosti Jana Loužila v kontextu vydavatelských snah bibliofilských edic prvorepublikového Československa založené na dostupné sekundární literatuře, přijaté korespondenci od uvedených autorů, dochované v Literárním archivu PNP a zhodnocení dostupných bibliofilských edic, o něž se Jan Loužil zasloužil. Obraz doplní sonda do jeho knižní sbírky dochované částečně v Knihovně Národního muzea. Bakalářská práce bude připravena v souladu s platnými vnitřními předpisy FF UK a dalšími metodickými pokyny a normativními dokumenty. Klíčová slova Jan Loužil, bibliofil, sbírka, sběratelství, korespondence, bibliofilské edice Abstract Jan Loužil, a dentist from Jaroměř, is not quite famous person among Czech bibliophiles in Czechoslovakia although he also was active as a publisher of beautiful book which is by bibliophile editions of Rudolf Těsnohlídek, F.

  • Mulvihill Lecture
    “OLD BOOKS STILL MATTER” Maureen E. Mulvihill, Guest Speaker With Exhibits & Digital Images __________________ Selby Public Library, “Books & Coffee” series, Gelbart Auditorium. April 11, 2017. 10:30AM. Sponsored by Friends of the Selby Public Library 1331 First Street, Sarasota, Florida 34236 Host: Alice Blueglass, Executive Committee, Second Vice-President [email protected] / www.selbylibraryfriends.org / Tel. 941.861.1140 OUR SPEAKER will discuss the value of 'old books' as surviving historical artifacts. Within broad contexts of pre-1800 book design and book arts, she will emphasize the continuing appeal of the early book to specialists (collectors, book historians) and generalists (Virginia Woolf's 'common reader'); she will also show what ‘modern’ editions of old books too often overlook. An established writer on English and Irish literary cultures, Dr Mulvihill is presently at work on Irishwomen's political writings and response, c.1603-1801. Her evolution as a rare book collector is profiled in Fine Books & Collections magazine (Autumn, 2016). For San Francisco’s Rare Book Hub, she wrote a special Guest Series (October-December, 2016), Old Books / New Editions < Publisher's Preview >, being essays on new editions of < Anne Killigrew > < Hester Pulter > and < Margaret Cavendish >. Our speaker is an elected member of the Princeton Research Forum, Princeton, NJ, and Vice-President (2012-2015), Florida Bibliophile Society; originally from Detroit, she is also a member of the Book Club of Detroit (flourishing these 60 years & counting). After 30 years in Brooklyn, NY, she is now a homeowner in lovely Laurel Park, Sarasota, Florida. (Training: PhD, Wisconsin, 1982. Post-doctoral: Columbia University Rare Book School; Yale Center for British Art; and, as NEH Fellow, Johns Hopkins University.) ____________________ .

  • Ann Arbor, Michigan
    Ann Arbor When John Allen and Elisha Rumsey established the town of "Annarbour" in 1824, the two land speculators named the settlement after their wives, both named Ann, and a grove of trees where the women preferred to meet. From that bucolic beginning, Ann Arbor has grown into a city of more than 110,000 people. It is home to one of the nation's finest public universities, and has become a industrial hub for a variety of commercial enterprises, from automotive design to pizza. Since its inception, the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has collected materials on the history of Ann Arbor and its residents. There are numerous collections that spotlight the city's culture, architecture, history, and a long tradition of social outreach. This guide is designed to inform interested researchers of the existence of unique materials currently held by the Bentley Historical Library. Listed are manuscript collections and selected publications reflecting the life, history and culture of Ann Arbor. These materials are open to researchers for the study of the social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of this community.
