'A diary is an assassin's cloak which we wear when we stab a comrade in the back with a pen', wrote William Soutar in 1934. But a diary is also a place for recording everyday thoughts and special ...occasions, private fears and hopeful dreams. The Assassin's Cloak gathers together some of the most entertaining and inspiring entries for each day of the year, as writers ranging from Queen Victoria to Andy Warhol, Samuel Pepys to Adrian Mole, pen their musings on the historic and the mundane.Spanning centuries and international in scope, this peerless anthology pays tribute to a genre that is at once the most intimate and public of all literary forms.This new updated edition is published to mark the twentieth anniversary of the book's original publication.
These two diaries, by the nineteenth-century novelist Elizabeth Gaskell and her cousin Sophia Holland, provide us with uniquely personal and revealing accounts of Victorian womanhood and motherhood.
Criteria for distinguishing between correspondences, diaries and notes are soft. Almost all elements to markup letters are needed for the description of diaries or notes and vice versa. So these ...document types can be grouped as personal writings and explored together rather than separately. The essay argues in favor of the similarities rather than the differences between the material and for a markup that in a portal allows scalable reading to help find new research questions and answers.
Aims A vital component of the management of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is strict control of dietary intake whilst ensuring sufficient nutrition to prevent deficiencies. Surprisingly however there is ...very limited data in the literature surrounding this. Our observational study sought to describe mean caloric intake, proportion of energy contributed by macronutrients and identify common micronutrient deficiencies. Method PWS children attending our specialist multidisciplinary clinic complete weighed 3 day food diaries as part of their routine assessments. Analysis is completed using a specific computer package with results expressed as % of intake against UK reference nutrient intakes (RNI’s) adjusted for age and sex. Data was retrospectively reviewed from case notes. Abstract G473(P) Figure 1 Results 35 food diaries were returned from 11 PWS children (age range 1.1–12 years) 5 males and 6 females between August 2002 – March 2013. Mean caloric intake was 69.5% RNI (Range 38–103%). A mean lower caloric % of RNI was seen in the younger children (<_ 5 years, n = 20) 66.8% compared to the older children (6–12 years n = 15) 73.1%. There was no obvious difference in the intake between males and females (68.8% vs. 70.8%). The mean proportions of % energy from fat, carbohydrate and protein (compared to UK recommendations) were 25% (35%), 58.8% (50%) and 15.8% (15%) respectively. 4 patients contributing a total of 10 food diaries over the collection period showed <20% total energy from fat. A Spearman correlation co efficient showed a significant (r = –0.57) inverse trend for greater micronutrient deficiencies with greater caloric restrictions. Incidence of <100% RNI for calcium and iron was 20% and 31% respectively. Insert graph Conclusion Mean caloric intake in our PWS children was on average 30% less than the RNI’s. The contribution proportions of macronutrients identified some concern of over restriction of fat (<20%) associated with increased risk for inadequate intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids. A reasonably strong correlation between caloric restriction and micronutrients intakes below the RNI should be noted and all results highlight care is required to carefully balance the restricted diets of nutritionally vulnerable PWS children.
Rękopis Dziennika, prowadzonego przez Helenę Modrzejewską od 1 stycznia do 16 lutego 1893 roku, przechowywany jest w kolekcji J. I. Paderewskiego w Bibliotece Narodowej w Warszawie. Publikowany ...kilkukrotnie w różnych wariantach w całości bądź we fragmentach (m.in. w „Czasie”, „Kierunkach”, „Teatrze” oraz monografiach M.M. Coleman oraz J. Szczublewskiego) obrósł w liczne nieścisłości edytorskie i redakcyjne. Zamieszczone w „Pamiętniku Teatralnym” teksty są zestawieniem trzech głównych edycji Dziennika – oryginału drukowanego za rękopisem, wraz z uwzględnieniem późniejszych uwag i poprawek, pierwszej polskiej publikacji w „Czasie” w 1910 roku oraz edycji w j. angielskim, zamieszczonej w Fair Rosalind: the American Career of Helena Modjeska M.M. Coleman (1969).
