Word after Word after Word by P. MacLachlan
Authors: Sulz David 
Published: April 2016

MacLachlan, Patricia. Word after Word after Word. New York: Katherine Tegan Books, 2010. Print. Ms. Mirabel, a famous writer, starts visiting a grade four class regularly and has a profound impact on a group of five friends by encouraging them to write, even if it means breaking the rules that their teacher believes are essential (such as creating an outline). Ms. Mirabel’s core message that writing “word after word after word” can change your life strikes a chord with the five friends and, as their daily discussions under a lilac tree suggest, there is a lot they would like to change. Lucy’s mom has cancer, Evie wants desperately to find a new woman for her recently-separated dad, a new baby is entering May’s family, and Russell not only has to babysit his younger brother every day but also deal with the recent death of his dog. In contrast, Henry discovers writing helps him not to change anything but to “save everything I have.” The last scene, an open-house highlighting the children’s writing brought a lump to my throat as the parents read their child’s inner-most feelings and realize how their actions as adults and parents have unexpected and powerful effects on their children. I have to admit, Ms. Mirabel annoyed me. She dresses flamboyantly to grab attention; she is sensitive, creative, and wise in a way no ordinary teacher could ever be; and she even encourages Russell’s annoying questions that make the real teacher sigh. Perhaps I am little sensitive about the stereotype of real teachers as boring, rule-bound, and uncreative. On another note, there is something about the kids that does not ring quite true; they come across more like how an adult might romanticize that time of life rather than what real grade four kids are like. To be fair, the real author (Patricia MacLachlan) notes she visits many classrooms and receives letters from young readers of her other books, so perhaps she has a different insight into the thoughts and emotions of that age group. In fact, as she tells us in the author’s notes at the end, this book was written to address the many questions she gets about the hows and whys of being a writer in a more entertaining way. Overall, this is an inspiring book about the joys and power of writing.

Not My Girl by C. Jordan-Fenton & M. Poliak-Fenton
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: April 2016

Jordan-Fenton, Christy and Margaret Poliak-Fenton. Not My Girl. Vancouver: Annick Press, 2014. Print.When Margaret Poliak-Fenton was eight years old, she was sent to a residential school at Aklavik, NWT. Poliak-Fenton and Christy Jordan-Fenton have told her story of going to Aklavik in Fatty Legs and the picture book version, When I was Eight. They told the story about coming home in A Stranger at Home. Not My Girl is the picture book version of A Stranger at Home and the sequel to When I Was Eight. The story is a poignant one of a child returning home to her Inuvialuit village after two years’ absence to find that her mother rejects her and she no longer fits in. She knew how to "recite verses and make [her] bed", but did not know how to "set traps, skin hares or pluck geese". The first person presentation of the story makes it easy to identify with Margaret as she struggles to re-adapt to her family and community's hunting and fishing way of life. While the text is not complex, it is probably more appropriate for the upper end of the recommended Grade 1 – 4 reading level. The story is tightly written and includes a parallel story in which Margaret takes a puppy from its mother, who rejects it later because he "no longer carries his family's scent". Gabrielle Grimard's brightly coloured images support the story. They provide both suggestion and detail. For example, backgrounds and landscapes are often broad swaths of colour, while the decorative hems and cuffs of clothing are quite detailed.This is an excellent volume that should be included in public and elementary school collections across Canada and also in academic collections that include Canadian children's literature.Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4 Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines.

Une fausse note par F. Giguère
Authors: Gomez Leticia 
Published: April 2016

Giguère, François. Une fausse note. Québec : Éditions Vents d’Ouest, 2014. Imprimé Une fausse note est le premier livre de François Giguère, un jeune retraité qui s’est lancé dans l’écriture après avoir gagné le concours littéraire Cerrdoc en 2000. Ce roman jeunesse qualifié de réaliste se situe entre le drame et la romance et se destine aux ados. Pour écrire cet ouvrage, l’auteur s’est inspiré des histoires vécues par ses quatre enfants lorsqu’ils étaient adolescents. Ainsi, ce livre traite entre autres de l’école et des premiers amours avec toutes les difficultés et les joies que cela peut comporter.Le titre Une fausse note est un jeu de mots faisant référence au thème principal du livre, la musique, et à la relation tendue entre Audrey et Sébastien. Audrey, personnage principal fait partie de l’ensemble musical de son école avec son amie Maude et son pire ennemi Sébastien. L’histoire débute avec la fin des vacances et par conséquent la rentrée. Julie St-Laurent, le professeur de musique prévoit pour cette nouvelle année scolaire un projet original qui consiste à faire jouer en duo ses élèves et ce avec un instrument différent de celui qu’ils utilisent dans l’harmonie. Ironie du sort, Audrey et Sébastien se retrouvent à travailler ensemble. Audrey, jeune adolescente au caractère bien trempée impose des limites très strictes à Sébastien qui l’aime en silence depuis si longtemps. Cependant, au fil de l’année scolaire, les choses évoluent et les deux coéquipiers finissent par s’avouer leurs sentiments. Mais les obligations professionnelles du père d’Audrey viendront chambouler leur relation. Le récit est donc une alternance d’événements dramatiques et romantiques qui tient le lecteur en haleine jusqu’à la toute dernière page.La typographie utilisée, la présence de minces interlignes et le nombre de page, soit 180, sont le signe d’un roman qui vise un lectorat âgé d’au moins 12 ans. Il faudra compter une dizaine d’heures pour qu’un bon lecteur puisse terminer ce roman passionnant. En ce qui concerne l’écriture, le style est plutôt classique, même dans les dialogues qui mettent le plus souvent en scène de jeunes ados.Si dans ce roman tout tourne autour de la musique, l’auteur aborde aussi le thème de la famille tel qu’on la connait aujourd’hui. Étant donné que cette histoire est très proche de ce que vivent les jeunes, le lecteur sera aussi amené à réfléchir sur sa relation à l’autre. Cela le fera sans aucun doute évoluer de manière positive. La véracité de certains éléments permettra également au lecteur de se reconnaître et ainsi vivre en héros le temps d’une lecture. Ce livre est donc parfait pour le lectorat adolescent qui s’intéresse à des textes en phase avec la vie actuelle.Note: quatre étoiles Critique: Leticia GomezLeticia étudie au Campus Saint-Jean depuis trois ans où elle effectue un baccalauréat en éducation secondaire avec une majeure en littérature. Elle écrit également des critiques littéraires pour le Franco, un journal francophone local.
Celebrating Beautifully Illustrated Children’s Books
Authors: Desmarais Robert 
Published: April 2016

Dear Readers,The number of books arriving on my desk every year is large, and it may be no great surprise to know that I see many attractively illustrated children’s books. I wish we could review them all, but alas the amount of space in our journal is limited. Ever since the publication of our first issue, I have been wondering what it would be like to be a child today with scores upon scores of beautifully designed and illustrated books available for enjoyment and acquisition at public libraries, bookstores, and online retailers. Of course, I had access to beautifully illustrated books when I was a child, just not nearly as many. It’s this bounty of riches in high quality book illustration that could signify that we are witnessing another golden age of children’s book illustration.Many scholars, critics, and avid readers will point to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as the first “golden age” of children’s book illustration largely because this is when so many imaginative and attractive books were published, many of which are now regarded as classics. Delightful pictures alone do not make a book exceptional, they must complement an excellent story and innovative design. But as you read the reviews in this issue and future issues it may be worthwhile to notice how many times our reviewers comment upon the fresh and innovative illustrations, and then ask yourself if we are indeed witnessing a new golden age in children’s book illustration. Enjoy our new issue!Best wishes,Robert DesmaraisManaging Editor
The Lonely Book by K. Bernheimer
Authors: Desmarais Robert 
Published: April 2016

Bernheimer, Kate. The Lonely Book. Illus. Chris Sheban. New York: Random House, 2012. Print.This charming story about a well-loved book will not easily be forgotten. It’s the sort of picture book I would have loved to discover during my childhood visits to the public library. The tale begins in a classic fairytale style, “Once there was a brand-new book that arrived at the library.” As the story unfolds, young readers learn all sorts of details about the inner workings of a public library, including the custom that many of the newest books are placed on a special shelf in a high traffic area.The “lonely book” of this story initially had a popular and fulfilling life on the new book shelf but eventually it is relegated to the children’s section, along with countless other well-loved titles. Years pass, the book becomes a little tattered and worn, and is now checked out all too infrequently. Then, one morning, a little girl named Alice discovers it and falls in love with the story about the girl and her life under a toadstool, and so she takes it home. “The book had never felt so beloved.” Readers will discover how lonely it becomes when Alice forgets to renew her old book, and especially so when it begins a new life in the library’s storage basement. In time, Alice longs for her favourite book and despairs that she may never see it again. The story ends on a cheerful note, however, when Alice is reunited with her once cherished book at the library’s big book sale.For those of us who understand what it is like to cherish a book from our childhood, this book will bring back fond memories. The soft watercolour illustrations complement the story beautifully and they evoke a magical time when children fall in love with books, read them late into the night, fall asleep with them under their pillows, and dream sweet dreams about favourite characters and events.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Robert DesmaraisRobert Desmarais is Head of Special Collections at the University of Alberta and Managing Editor of The Deakin Review of Children’s Literature.

Learn to Speak Dance: A Guide to Creating, Performing & Promoting Your Moves by A.-M. Williams
Authors: Chatterley Trish 
Published: April 2016

Williams, Ann-Marie. Learn to Speak Dance: A Guide to Creating, Performing & Promoting Your Moves. Toronto: Owlkids Books, 2011. Print. Following on the success of Learn to Speak Music by John Crossingham, dancer and dance teacher Ann-Marie Williams has compiled a second volume in the Learn to Speak series that explores the many and varied aspects of dance. The book begins with an explanation of what dance is and why we do it, then takes the reader through the stages of starting out in dance, setting up your own dance group, developing choreography, performing, and promoting your work. It ends with a brief description of a small sampling of dance styles including belly dance, Bollywood, and Broadway. Scattered throughout are quotes from current professional dancers and dance judges (mainly Canadians!) representing a wide range of styles, as well as recommendations for movies and dance videos to watch that each provide excellent examples of different elements of the dance world. The book is packed full with fun illustrations with simple, rotating colour schemes. Jeff Kulak’s drawings are sometimes abstract, sometimes cartoonlike, but unfortunately sometimes display very awkward-looking body positions and odd-looking faces. If readers are expecting a how-to guide about how to dance, they will be disappointed. Books are not the best format for learning how to move anyway. Instead, they will find more of a focus on the business side of things such as how to work well in a group, what happens backstage with lighting and sound, tips on developing a website and putting together a press release. The target age range of 9 to 13 might therefore be a bit young for this type of information. The content might be better suited for those in their upper teens who are setting up dance crews after school and are more likely to want to start organizing their own dance programs. The book aims to make dance accessible, and encourages kids with or without any experience to explore the various facets of dance. It takes a very supportive tone, and includes good suggestions for building confidence and finding your personal style. The author is definitely knowledgeable about dance and has a lot of excellent and informative advice to share. Young readers will likely require adult help, though, if trying to follow many of the recommendations.

Integrated Methodology to Optimizes Production and Performance of Electrosubmersible Pump System in Shushufindi Field
Authors: Nuñez Gustavo , Rodriguez Juan Carlos , Carmona Fabiola , Esquivel Alfonso , Larez Ana , Dutan Jorge 
Published: April 2016

AbstractShushufindi is a mature oil producer field located in Ecuador; it was discovered in December 1968. For 20 years was development by foreign oil industry and then was transferred to national oil company. In February 2012 a contract was signed between Petroamazonas and Consorcio Shushufindi. Since this date until now the production has been incremented from 34800 bopd to 75000 bopd.The main Artificial Lift system applied to the field is electro submersible pump (ESP). High water cut, scale, low pressure, gas production, corrosion and other are problems that have presented in the wells affecting the run life of ESP.A Multidisciplinary team has been created to work on a plan to improve the artificial lift system performance and increase production through the application of a monitoring and optimization process.Initially failure frequency was reported due to tubing casing communication, cable failure or motor failure. Therefore some optimization studies on these wells to use 12 and 18 pulses variable speed drive (VSD) instead of 6 pulses in order to minimize the harmonic distortion from the input side of the VSD. Where realize that, it is a common petroleum engineering practice to produce the oil with minimum operating cost, while maintaining the facilities to serve efficiently for its design life time. In the meantime the production rates of the well should be convenient to their capabilities. Any fault in the design of the proper production equipment for each well reduces the equipment life, increase maintenance cost, and workover need and, therefore, increase the total oil production cost.Performance indicators were established to evaluate the performance of electrical submersible pumps from the beginning of the contract. The ESP average run life is 669 days.On 2013 the percentage of indirect failures was 89.3% and direct failures 10.7%. Tubing Casing Communication failure is the most important which represents 49.7%.Actually there are 140 producers wells completed with ESP of which 64% has remote monitoring. Optimization studies on production parameters and operating conditions of ESP are continuously evaluated to perform increase of frequency, amperage consumption optimization, recommended operating range for ESP, downhole equipment replacement, equipment deeping, and others are done in order to increase production and ESP run life.
Saudi Aramco Trailblazing New ESP Monitoring Technology
Authors: Mutairi Khaled M. , Winarno Mulad Budi , Ledezma Fernando Diaz , Rafie Majid M , Chahid Raji 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Downhole gauges for ESP systems typically use the motor power cable for communicating data to surface. This type of gauge technology, also known as “Comms on power,” has been in use for many years and has become a reliable method for monitoring pump and well performance. Downhole data acquisition also delivers benefits in reservoir management where continuous data from the well is required. Any loss of this downhole data has a significant impact to accurately understanding the well performance and reservoir recovery.
Current gauge technology is susceptible to problems when the insulation on the motor cable ages or is damaged. This means that the gauge signal will be lost when a ground fault occurs, even if the ESP motor continues to drive the pump and the gauge itself is undamaged. Current ESP gauges also typically provided slower data rates than permanent gauges that have dedicated instrument lines to surface.
In such situations there are two options to recover the downhole data; conventional data acquisition using wireline or workover to repair the ground fault. Both required additional operational cost. Furthermore, any opportunities to obtain improved ESP monitoring and continuous data acquisition for reservoir management are gone.
Saudi Aramco has been engaged in several years of technology trials carried out in Saudi Arabia leading to a successful field trial of a new downhole sensor system. Saudi Aramco's drive for continuous data when the ESP has experienced a ground fault has been the catalyst for the support given to this system. The system was installed in April 2013 in the Khurais field and is currently still running today — the system was confirmed to be fully functional in ground fault conditions. This paper presents the new technology, the history of trails and the installation, outlining the potential for future use.
Agreement of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy Classification in People With Extremity Conditions
Authors: Takasaki Hiroshi 
Published: April 2016

Abstract

Background
In the McKenzie system of mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MDT), a reliable system for the management of spinal problems, classifications are used to guide management strategies. For the classification of extremity disorders, interexaminer agreement has not been investigated with patients.

Objective
The study objective was to investigate interexaminer agreement for provisional MDT extremity classification with patients.

Design
This was a reliability study with examiner masking.

Methods
A therapist with an MDT credential observed the assessments made by 2 therapists with MDT diplomas, who successively performed MDT assessments for 33 patients with extremity pain on the same day. Immediately after each evaluation, all 3 therapists assigned the most appropriate MDT classification from 15 categories; they were unaware of each other's selection. The observed agreement and the Cohen kappa were calculated for the MDT classifications.

Results
The observed agreement for the 15 MDT categories of classification between the therapist with an MDT credential and the first therapist with an MDT diploma was 78.8%. The Cohen kappa was .72 (95% confidence interval=.54, .89), indicating good agreement. However, the observed agreement between the 2 therapists with MDT diplomas when the patient was assessed separately was 42.4%. The Cohen kappa was .21 (95% confidence interval=.01, .41), indicating poor agreement.

Limitations
Study limitations included convenience sampling of patients, the small number of examiners, and the limited extremity experience of the therapists with MDT diplomas.

Conclusions
Interexaminer agreement for provisional MDT extremity classification was good when the examiners were seeing the same patient concurrently but poor when the patient was seen successively. Further studies are needed to establish which factors, including study method, are responsible for the divergent results of the MDT assessments of extremity disorders.
