He thus made it his personal goal to “stay out of trouble” by pursuing various art forms throughout his life.įor Densmore, art has functioned as an antidote to self-destruction. Like guitarist Robby Krieger, John Densmore, the band’s mercurial percussionist, knew it was inevitable that he would miss the peak experience of playing live music for thousands of people he also instinctively knew that rock stars in his position were uniquely susceptible to addiction and various forms of self-destruction. The iconic lead singer’s untimely death meant that they would have to wrestle with the loss for the rest of their lives. WHEN JIM MORRISON died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971, the event had a ripple effect on each remaining member of the Doors. ![]()

![]() ![]() Blair skillfully describes the transition from Roman to Saxon England and shows why Rome's greatest legacy to her former colony-Christianity-flowered within Anglo-Saxon culture. After the governorship of Agricola the written sources almost entirely disappear until the early Anglo-Saxon era of the fifth century but archaeologists have been able to gather a great deal of information about the intervening centuries from excavations of old walled towns, roads, and fortresses dating from the Roman period. The real history of Britain begins with the Roman occupation, for the Romans were the first to leave substantial documentary and archaeological evidence. Blair is careful to explain just how scholars have arrived at an accurate knowledge of the first 900 years. Because the source material is so meager for much of early British history, Mr. ![]() By the time of Caesar's first expedition to Britain in 55 B.C., migratory movements had established close ties of kinship and common interest between the peoples who lived in Gaul and some of the inhabitants of Britain. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a biography filled with gaps and Rundell brings a zest for imaginative speculation to these. ![]() Then there were years as the impoverished, frustrated father of 12 children (six died), a period of grief after his wife’s early death and his final efflorescence, at once unexpected and inevitable, as a clergyman who was swiftly promoted to dean of St Paul’s. Donne moved between success and penury, with a stint in law, an unsuccessful foray as an adventurer in Spain, and a period at court that ended when he secretly married Anne More and was thrown in prison by her father. Donne was born into a Catholic family at a time of persecution family members were imprisoned and tortured. In addition to Carey’s study, there’s a recent comprehensive biography by John Stubbs. ![]() The facts of Donne’s life are well known. “The body is, in its essentials, a very, very slow one-man horror show: a slowly decaying piece of meatish fallibility in clothes.” “He was a man who walked so often in darkness that it became for him a daily commute,” she writes. She shares his linguistic dexterity, his pleasure in what TS Eliot called “felt thought”, his ability to bestow physicality on the abstract. Rundell is right that Donne – “the greatest writer of desire in the English language” – must never be forgotten, and she is the ideal person to evangelise him for our age. ![]() ![]() The two main camps, Mauthausen and Gusen I, were labelled as "Grade III" ( Stufe III) camps, which meant that they were intended to be the toughest camps for the "Incorrigible Political Enemies of the Reich". The camps formed one of the first massive concentration camp complexes in Nazi Germany, and were the last ones to be liberated by the Allies. ![]() The death toll remains unknown, although most sources place it between 122,766 and 320,000 for the entire complex. In January 1945, the camps, directed from the central office in Mauthausen, contained roughly 85,000 inmates. Several subordinate camps of the KZ Mauthausen complex included quarries, munitions factories, mines, arms factories and Me 262 fighter-plane assembly plants. Apart from the four main sub-camps at Mauthausen and nearby Gusen, more than 50 sub-camps, located throughout Austria and southern Germany, used the inmates as slave labour. ![]() Initially a single camp at Mauthausen, it expanded over time and by the summer of 1940, Mauthausen had become one of the largest labour camp complexes in German-controlled Europe. Its history ran from the time of the Anschluss in 1938 to the beginning of May 1945. Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp grew to become a large group of German concentration camps that was built around the villages of Mauthausen and Gusen in Upper Austria, roughly 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the city of Linz. ![]() Gate to the garage yard in the Mauthausen concentration camp ![]() ![]() ![]() Solomon drew on her childhood experience when she created Kenya, the main character in her new novel Disgruntled. but it was part of a thing at the time that I think people were taking from black Muslims.")

Also, case 2 produced a P the of 141 kW, η coll of 62% and η o of 0.25% which are with an enhancement of 73.3%, 48.44% and 72.4%, respectively. Higher updraft velocity (about 38.5% rise) was observed due to the provision of fillet in case 2. Comparative analysis was done between Case 1 and Case 2 on various performance characteristics such as turbine power ( P the), collector and overall efficiencies ( η coll, η o). Two models of the SUT plant were developed Case 1 having no fillet, Case 2 having a 45° square fillet. The real SUT plant (Manzanares, Spain) dimensions were considered for this three-dimensional analysis. The present work provides an in-depth numerical investigation and thereby enhancing the thermal performance of the SUT plant. However, a conventional SUT plant is not economical due to its lower thermal performance. Solar updraft tower (SUT) plant is one of the potential technologies for carbon-free power generation. ![]() ![]() Staff member stationed at the east entrance can also help any patrons who do not have a cell phone.Library staff member stationed at the east entrance will deliver materials to assigned table where patron will pick them up.Library staff member will answer the phone, checkout items to patron and bring out items to a table outside our east side entrance.Call the phone number on the signs in parking lot, 30.Drive or walk up to Library at the east side/Emery St.For faster service, bring a cell phone and your library card number with you to the Library.Patrons may place holds on any materials currently available through our online catalog.Curbside delivery is available during open hours of the Library.Curbside delivery is available for all patrons. ![]() The Library building is OPEN and we are still offering Curbside Delivery. ![]() Visit Engage Longmont and click on what interests you, and get started today.
