He attended the flagship high school of the Rabbinical Seminary of America (RSA) in Queens during the early 1970s. After completing high school he studied for a year at the Seminary's affiliate in the Sanhedria Murchevet section of Jerusalem, Israel. While there, he learned with Rabbi Avrohom Kanarek and Rabbi Shia Grodzitski, both students of Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz, the dean of the pre-World War II rabbinical seminary, which was known as Kaminetz.

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Never convincing, drama delivers heavy-handed ironies along with alternately witty/hackneyed dialogue, plus too much in-joke cineaste referencing."
Eric D. Snider of DVD Talk rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote, "Bill's Gun Shop is a truly bad movie that has, somewhere deep beneath its odd subplots and sidetracks, a reasonably good idea."
Justin-Nicholas Toyama of Home Media Retailing wrote, "Underdeveloped character relationships discredit a cogent, though thin plot. The romantic interest is grossly underplayed and superfluous."

# Takrut

Takrut (Thai: ตะกรุด) is a type of tubular amulet that originated from Thailand. It is also known as "Tangkai" in other cultures. The takrut is similar to a talisman (Arabic: طلسم / transliterated: tilasim). The word Takrut, is used for both Singular and Plural, although many people do add an 's' (Takruts). However, the proper way to refer to takrut when in plural, is 'Takrut'.
They are worn by Thai people as a protective amulet and have existed for centuries. They are the most commonly mentioned form of amulet in the Khun Chang Khun Phaen, a Thai epic. They have an elongated scroll-like shape, and are usually made of metal or palm leaf and tied to the body with a cord.
Yant (ยันต์, yantra) are incantations and sacred geometric designs with Pali gatha and Buddhist prayers (invocations and empowerment spells), usually, but not always inscribed using the ancient Khom Pali script (a variant of Khmer script used in Thailand). In Northern Thailand, they use Lan Na Tai Tham script. The takrut is used for all purposes from Maha Sanaeh (attraction), Metta Mahaniyom (business success and popularity), Mercy Charm, Maha Pokasap/Lap (riches attraction), and Kong Grapan (invincibility).
Potential takeouts include gems, especially engraved gems, statues, coins, drawings, pendants, rings, plants and animals; even words in the form of a magical spell, incantation, to repel evil or bad luck.
Takrut has been part of Thai culture even before buddhism arrived in Thailand. After Thai Buddhism take roots, the takrut become the earlier form of buddhism amulets made by monk in 1200-1300A.D.
In ancient Thailand, takrut was very popular as there are constant warfare and poor security conditions. Takruts are mainly blessed for safe keeping (invulnerable) purpose, to bless end user for safety their daily work or business trips or going to war.

## Variations of traditional takrut

Takrut are usually put inside a special type of case and worn with a chain around the neck at chest level. They are also worn about the waist but can also be worn as most pieces of jewelry. They are worn about the body to protect specific parts of the body or to grant power to those body parts. But whether it is worn at the chest or the waist, its purpose is still the same: to give protection to its wearer. Some smaller takrut can be kept between the teeth to allow the carrier to be a more powerful speaker. This power is called sariga, a golden tongued celestial magpie, featured in Vedic and Thai Buddhist Legends.

# Barlin Acres

Barlin Acres (or the Keyes-Dakin House) was an historic house located on what is now East Temple Street in Boylston, Massachusetts. Built in 1734 and eventually transformed into a summer estate house, it was home to a founder of Boylston, and a good example of colonial and Federal period architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 26, 1982. It was subsequently demolished to make way for the clubhouse of the Cyprian Keyes Golf Club, which now stands on its site. The clubhouse contains architectural elements recovered from the house, including some flooring and the 19th century Music Room.

## Description and history

Barlin Acres was located in central southern Boylston, on the north side of East Temple Street. It was a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, covered by a truncated hip roof with a balustraded center, and sheathed in wooden clapboards, except for its original side walls, which are brick. The main facade was five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around a projecting center entrance. The entrance was framed by a Federal style surround, with pilasters rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable. The rear of this block was sheltered by a two-story columned portico. Ells, most added in the 20th century, extended to both sides.
The area was first settled in 1718, while it was part of Shrewsbury, by Thomas Keyes, whose son Cyprian built a house on the property in 1734. Cyprian Keyes was a deacon the Shrewsbury North Precinct (later Boylston) Congregational Church, and a town selectman when Boylston was incorporated in 1743. Keyes' property was eventually acquired by George Sumner Barton and his wife, Elizabeth Trumbull Lincoln. They named the property "Barlin Acres" by combining parts of their last names, and expanded the house. One of their notable additions was a room that was disassembled in England, brought to the estate, and reassembled as part of the house, and used by them as a music room. The property was acquired in 1973 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester, which established a retreat on the grounds. The property was later sold for conversion to the golf course. As part of that conversion, the house was largely demolished, with some portions retained for use in the clubhouse.
# Vasily Mikhaylovich Alekseyev

Vasiliy Mikhaylovich Alekseyev (Russian: Василий Михайлович Алексеев, January 14 [O.S. January 2] 1881, in Saint Petersburg – May 12, 1951, in Leningrad (ibidem)) was an eminent Soviet sinologist and a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In 1902 he graduated from the Saint Petersburg University and became a professor. He also worked in the British Museum, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Museum für Völkerkunde, Musée Guimet etc.

## Life

In 1907, he travelled along with Édouard Chavannes through several Chinese provinces, describing ancient sculptural monuments previously unknown to international scholarship, in particular the Song monuments of Henan and Tang monuments of Shaanxi. ln addition to his Professorship, Alexeev became the Curator and Senior Researcher at the Asiatic Museum. In that role, he contributed a paper on Chinese folklore to a 1918 Museum symposium, published by its parent group, the Russian Academy of Sciences. Alexeev's situation at this time, though perilous like everybody else's, had great potential, which he quickly proceeded to realize. His position at the museum gave him a realia basis: he had custody of artifacts for the study of Chinese popular tradition, including a large trove of Dunhwang documents brought back from a Russian expedition of 1914–1915. In 1919, Alexeev became associate editor, and chief of the Eastern division, of the newly founded Publishing House for World Literature. This provided a publishing outlet. Under his direction, the museum's Sinological library was expanded, catalogued, and systematically employed in research, by a team of young persons Alexeev gradually gathered around him, among them the brilliant Shchutsky.

## Work

Alekseyev has produced an acclaimed translation of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. The first volume was published in 1922 under the title Fox's Wiles. According to Tatyana Tolstaya, "academician Alekseyev has found a special way of selecting and connecting Russian words which creates a distinctive brand of the Russian language, the one with a unique crystal grid, so to speak. The substance has not changed but has obtained new properties. While reading his texts, you get an illusion of reading a text in Chinese". Alekseyev's translations from the World War II era were collected as The Chinese Classical Prose (Китайская классическая проза) in 1958.

## Notable works

* Lisyi chary (Fox's Wiles, 1922)
* Monakhi volshebniki (The Wizard Monks, 1923)
* Kitayskaya ieroglificheskaya pis'mennost' i ee latinizatsiya (The Chinese Character Script and Its Romanization, 1932)
* Rasskazy o lyudyakh neobychainykh (Stories About Extraordinary People, 1937)
