The structure of DNA is that of a double helix. Similar to a spiral staircase, DNA is twisted and coiled so that it can be packed into our : Regina Bailey. DNA Structure 3' 5' 3' 5' Anti-parallel orientation A. The Concept DNA has a regular structure. It's orientation, width, width between nucleotides, length and number of nucleotides per helical turn is constant. All of these features were described by Watson and Crick. Adenine is always opposite thymine, and cytosine is always oppostie Size: 2MB.
From the library of seminal developmental geneticist L.C. Dunn. Accompanied by print illustrating DNA structure, signed by both Crick and Watson and handsomely framed. This very scarce volume contains the first publication of Watson and Crick's revolutionary paper, The Structure of DNA (), delivered at the June Cold Harbor Symposium. DNA Structure. Watson and Crick proposed that DNA is made up of two strands that are twisted around each other to form a right-handed helix. The two DNA strands are antiparallel, such that the 3ʹ end of one strand faces the 5ʹ end of the other (Figure 6). The 3ʹ end of each strand has a free hydroxyl group, while the 5ʹ end of each strand.
DNA is a record of instructions telling the cell what its job is going to be. A good analogy for DNA as a whole is a set of blueprints for the cell, or computer code telling a PC what to do. It is written in a special alphabet that is only four letters long! Unlike a book or computer screen, DNA isn't flat and boring - it is a beautiful curved Reviews: Now let’s consider the structure of the two types of nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, which are made up of three parts: a deoxyribose (5-carbon sugar), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (Figure ). There are four types of nitrogenous bases in DNA Author: Charles Molnar, Jane Gair, Molnar, Charles, Gair, Jane.

Commentary on how the early teachings of Krishnamurti were beginning to impact the world, showing the radical nature of the content of his teachings as well as the excitement that it brought among his followers.
Dr Heber also wrote a follow-up volume, titled Krishnamurti and The World Crisis (Allen & Unwin, 1935; originally published in 1933 in Norwegian as Krishnamurti og var tids krise). In a review of Mrs Heber's second volume the Sydney Morning Herald wrote on 6 July 1935: "It appears that the egotism and selfishness of mankind have led to all our ills, and the thing to do is to rid ourselves of the 'I' illusion. There is obviously nothing new in this doctrine, merely in the application of mystical conviction to practical matters."
In the second volume the author announces (on p.19) a third volume, Krishnamurti and Modern Man which, however, never materialized.

Keynote speaker – Dr Helen Wheatley (University of Warwick)
Haunted landscapes: trauma and grief in the television ghost story
Maria del Pilar Blanco, writing about North American literature, proposes that to ‘ghost-watch implies a vigilant perception of the landscapes depicted within it’ (2012: 1) and suggests that ghosts are always ‘embedded in the story about a place’ (ibid: 8). This paper explores these suggestions in relation to recent television narratives of haunting (Marchlands (ITV1, 2011), The Secret of Crickley Hall (BBC1, 2012) Lightfields (ITV1, 2013), Remember Me (BBC1, 2014) and The Living and the Dead (BBC1, 2016)). I argue that in these ghost melodramas, landscape carries a great weight of signification, enabling an exploration of themes of grief, loss, trauma and the search for truth and reconciliation. This work on the ghost story is part of a broader project I am pursuing on television and death, that thinks about the centrality of the medium in working through our thoughts and feelings about death and dying.
Helen Wheatley holds a BA in American and English Literature from the University of East Anglia and an MA and PhD in Film and Television Studies from the University of Warwick. Helen has taught at the University of Warwick since 1998, with a brief sojourn to the University of Reading as Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the AHRB-funded project Cultures of British Television Drama, 1960-82 between 2003 and 2005. Helen was recently co-investigator on the AHRC-funded project A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947-89. She also serves on the editorial boards of the following journals: Screen, Critical Studies in Television, Intensities, Revenant.
Her book Spectacular Television: Exploring Televisual Pleasure (IB Tauris, 2016) won the BAFTSS Award for Monograph of the Year in 2017.
Dr Helen Wheatley has published work on popular genres in television drama in the UK, US, including her monograph Gothic Television (2006). Helen has an ongoing interest in issues of television history and historiography, the topic of herHel edited collections Re-viewing Television History: Critical Issues in Television Historiography (IB Tauris, 2007) and Television for Women: New Directions (Routledge, 2016, with Rachel Moseley and Helen Wood).
Helen’s monograph Spectacular Television: Exploring Televisual Pleasure was published by IB Tauris; this combines research on the history of particular television technologies as spectacular, with analysis of the ways in which, for example, landscape, bodies (both human and animal), and action are rendered visually pleasurable or spectacular on the small screen. Dr Wheatley was recently Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded project ‘A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947-1989’, running between Warwick and De Montfort University, 2010-2014, with Rachel Moseley (Warwick) and Helen Wood (Leicester University). The project brought together archival and audience research methods in order to map this untold history and explore women viewers’ memories of the television that has been addressed to them. The project was awarded the 2012 Arts Impact Award for public engagement with its Pop-Up TV Pop Shop in Coventry City Centre.


Based on a true story. A journey halfway across the world. Two people determined to remain on their chosen paths. But life doesn’t always go to plan…
Captain Robert Crawford is proud to have achieved his first command. Despite his taciturn manner, he loves his ship, and those who serve under him are loyal and steadfast. Passengers, however, are another matter – troublesome, unpredictable and the bane of his life. The shipping company’s other edict is no better; he must marry, and the sooner the better. Even his best friend cannot understand why this troubles him so much. How could he when Robert has never confided in anyone about his past?
Miss Agnes Dinwiddie is still grieving one year on from her father’s death. Seeing no future for herself in her old home, she accepts her brother’s invitation to be his housekeeper in America. Accepting a position as companion for the duration of the journey, she expects the trip to be the perfect balm to take her away from her heartache and help her to heal. What she wasn’t expecting was to meet an infuriating, complicated captain.
Confined on board with demanding passengers and a young woman who seems to challenge him at every turn, and who he can’t stop thinking about, Captain Crawford wonders what the devil he has done to deserve such a trial. One thing’s for certain, he’s never experienced a journey like it before.
The Spinster’s Captain is a Victorian Romance, topped with a generous amount of humour, action and tears. If you like simmering chemistry, compelling but complex characters and fast-paced action, then this is the perfect book for you. For lovers of Regency or Victorian romance.

A Game of Thrones is the first novel in the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by American author George R.R. Martin. A Game of Thrones was first published by Bantam Books and Voyager in 1996, however it was over a decade before it gained the readership it has today, following the very successful TV adaptation, Game of Thrones, in 2011. This in turn changed the initial target audience of the book from mature readers to young adults. The work of fiction focuses on four powerful families on the continent of Westeros, and their battle to win the coveted Iron Throne. Take away the swords/ occasional incest and each house would be like any other dysfunctional family; there’s sibling rivalry, family leaders and pets (albeit dragons and direwolves).
The novel begins in Winterfell where young Brandon Stark is about to witness the beheading of a deserter of the Night’s Watch. Martin’s choice to write such a morbid chapter from the point of view of an eleven year old is harrowing, but the American author starts as he means to go on. A Game of Thrones is an epic 780 pages of struggle, sex and scandal, yet it is a book that is almost impossible to put down. The tales of war reflect the teen angst of many of the protagonists’, coming of age in a time of conflict and tension where “when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.” However, what makes the book a real treasure, in my opinion, is that it is not based around one age group, region or family; allowing for a richer reading experience and the chance to see the situation from various sides.
Each chapter focuses on the intertwining stories from a different character’s point of view. Even though the book is in third person, Martin manages to capture the essence and thought process of each character as if they were narrating the story themselves; from a rich dwarf to a young maiden married off as a pawn in her deluded brother’s selfish schemes. Although the characters may seem rather eccentric at first, readers begin to relate to them, this is largely due to their underdog status alongside Martin’s informal lexical choices. This also means that there is no black and white in terms of characters, each are their own unique shade of grey with their own endearing qualities and pitfalls.
A Game of Thrones is often associated with highly sexualised taboo subjects and violence. These are minor aspects to the book compared with the relationship building between the characters, and the unavoidable linking of their seemingly independent narratives. They are handled in such a manner that they do not seem shocking to the mature reader, rather they are realistic inevitabilities in a restless kingdom written by a brilliant author who does not view the world through rose tinted glasses.


Pining For My Books
I love to read. I have always loved to read. I used to climb up into our backyard tree or hide in a fort I had constructed with sheets and settle in with a good book. Sometimes I would ride my bike to the park at the end of our street in Detroit and sit inside a group of old shrubs that had grown wild and formed a secret tunnel-like space just for me (or so I thought). There I would read my favorites – Caddie Woodlawn, Nancy Drew, Little Women, Henry Huggins, and the Little House on the Prairie series.
I have only spotty memories of my early childhood, but I clearly remember our neighborhood library and I can picture the exact shelf I would run to every week and choose a different Madeline book.
When I started Kindergarten I found a copy of The King’s Stilts by Dr. Suess in the school library and it became my constant companion. When I left Emerson Elementary in the second grade, our neighbor, Mrs. Dixon, a teacher at the school, gave me the yellowed cloth copy to keep. I had that book forever until it got lost when I moved to NYC.
When my children were young I got to revisit these treasures all over again, and experience wonderful new ones along with them. Some of my most precious memories are those spent curled up with my kids (and usually a dog or two) reading a good story.
I think that if I could choose just one solitary activity that gives me the greatest pleasure, it would be lying in a hammock with a good book (usually fiction).
If that hammock is beside a lake or the ocean, well that’s just icing on the cake.
Lately though, I’ve noticed that the books are piling up while I’m reading less and less. I blame the Internet, or rather my inability to stay off it long enough to get through a big meaty novel. I spend more time at my computer than I know is healthy, and it seems like the time just evaporates and those pleasure-filled hours spent reading become few and far between. Pining For My Books!
For a while I switched to reading on an e-book device (sounds so cold), but in the end, went back to the real thing. I love the feel of the pages, I like to flip back and forth, underline, circle, comment. I know you can do this on an e-book, but it’s just not the same.
And nothing beats the library or a bookstore. Heaven on earth. I have to limit my time in them these days, until I do some catching up on the piles in my own apartment.
I’ve ventured into the world of audio, listening to stories or lectures while walking in the city, riding the train, or sitting by the river. I don’t remember much storytelling going on in our house when I was growing up, and I’m loving experiencing books in a new way. On a recent trip, I downloaded Khaled Hosseini’s And the Mountains Echoed and was mesmerized.
Of course I have shelves and shelves of books on spirituality and holistic health. I could probably open an Ayurveda library. 🙂 And my art books are precious friends that I look to for inspiration. But nothing gives me that reader’s rush like a good piece of fiction.
Around Christmastime I bought myself a book called The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have by Mark Nepo. It’s a gem of a book with a page or two of insight and inspiration dedicated to each day of the year. The book was published fourteen years ago and I have seen it on the bookstore shelf many times. For some reason, this time, it leaped out at me, begging to be taken home. Wayne Muller, founder and president of Bread for the Journey and author of How, Then, Shall We Live? has this to say:
“Mark Nepo is an astonishing poet and teacher. He generously comforts us while guiding us toward the deep, quiet river of wisdom that saturates each and every day of our lives.”
While I might not be reading stacks of novels these days, I have started this new year by reading each daily entry in The Book of Awakening with my morning tea. Each day these little poetic gems of wisdom get me thinking, inspire me and ignite my own creativity. I want to share one with you here. This one is from the entry on January 8th.
Feeding Your Heart
“No matter how dark,
the hand always knows
the way to the mouth.”
– Idoma Proverb (Nigeria)
Do you love to read? What book has inspired you lately?
“Even when we can’t see, we know how to feed ourselves. Even when the way isn’t clear, the heart still pumps. Even when afraid, the air of everything enters and leaves the lungs. Even when clouds grow thick, the sun still pours its light earthward.
This African proverb reminds us that things are never quite as bad as they seem inside the problem. We have inner reflexes that keep us alive, deep impulses of being and aliveness that work beneath the hardships we are struggling with.
We must remember: the hand cannot eliminate the darkness, only find its way to the mouth. Likewise, our belief in life cannot eliminate our suffering, only find its way to feed our heart.” – Mark Nepo

When is a box not a box?
Well, to Grade 5 students at HKIS , possibly all the time.
Channeling creation, innovation, and engineering Todd Hollett, the new Tech Coach at UPS, kicked off the school year with lesson using a book and a box. He visited Grade 5 classrooms and read aloud the picture book, Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. They explored how a discarded box holds much more possibilities than a transport medium for new library books.
The book captures what students and inventors of all ages see when they see something the rest of the world views as ordinary. The author’s simple drawing of a rabbit and her box set the stage for the reader’s start of a creative journey. We move from box to Race Car to Rabbit Peak to FireRescue and end up on a Spaceship. Imagination is a powerful learning resource that needs exercise, dreams, and possibilities. At only 15 pages, the book is a quick read yet, serves as a springboard for introducing the Maker culture in the classroom.
Students partnered-up, received a box donated from the library’s new book shipment, and received only the simple instructions to create their own “Not-a-box.” Impressively, partners moved quickly through an informal design cycle process. They spent time ideating possibilities, gathered resources, and started planning their ideas. Within five minutes, they were creating their own works of art, clothing, race cars, or houses for their family pets; truly showing that a simple box hold endless possibilities and hours of enjoyment to all those that see it as a “not-a-box.”
Here’s to the creative ones. We need you “not-a-box” thinkers! Please continue to to think outside the box and create opportunities for our students to explore, create, innovate, and engineer their imaginations into realities. We are all in this together and we cannot do it alone. Please share your own “not-a-box” moments and creation in the comments below or by tweeting #HKISengage and #notabox.


This project is born within the fight of a small group of mums from the Public Nursery & Primary School "Europa" in Montequinto, Dos Hermanas (Seville), reclaiming a lunch-room for the school.
For eight years, children have been eating in the school library, as an interim solution; but the library is so small that children have to do lunch shifts, the last of them over four o´clock in the afternoon. In addition to this, the library cannot be used as such and books cannot be kept elsewhere.
To face this situation, the mums of the school set up the "Plataforma Pro-Comedor" [Lunch-room Proponents"], in order to seek support and make the project known, with the enduring support of the school headship, the AMPA [Alumni's mothers and fathers association] and the whole educational community. Thanks to this, they have successfully generated greater awareness of the problem and, above all, of the community's ability to take part in the solution, by using and managing its own resources.
Thus, the self-building and the recycling of the materials have become for the school not only means to achieve a lunch-room, but also a tool to teach the students some fundamental values such as the force of teamwork or the importance of the public service system, and so lay the foundations of the committed citizens they want their children to be in the future. Committed citizens which will participate in the making of decisions and the searching of solutions.
After some meetings, the Dos Hermanas City Council decided to sponsor the project by extending the new facility to a wider range of use, scheduling different activities apart from the lunch-time service, not only for the school but also for the neighborhood. Some funds have been specifically allocated to self-building, making the project possible and sustainable. Step by step, the lunch-room project has become a social project able to involve the whole local community.

The computer, writes Peter Lunenfeld, is the twenty-first century's culture machine. It is a dream device, serving as the mode of production, the means of distribution, and the site of reception. We haven't quite achieved the flying cars and robot butlers of futurist fantasies, but we do have a machine that can function as a typewriter and a printing press, a paintbrush and a gallery, a piano and a radio, the mail as well as the mail carrier. But, warns Lunenfeld, we should temper our celebration with caution; we are engaged in a secret war between downloading and uploading--between passive consumption and active creation--and the outcome will shape our collective futures.
In The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading, Lunenfeld makes his case for using digital technologies to shift us from a consumption to a production model. He describes television as "the high fructose corn syrup of the imagination" and worries that it can cause "cultural diabetes"; prescribes mindful downloading, meaningful uploading, and "info-triage" as cures; and offers tips for crafting "bespoke futures" in what he terms the era of "Web n.0" (interconnectivity to the nth power). He also offers a stand-alone genealogy of digital visionaries, distilling a history of the culture machine that runs from the Patriarchs (Vannevar Bush's WWII generation) to the Hustlers (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) to the Searchers (Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google fame). After half a century of television-conditioned consumption/downloading, Lunenfeld tells us, we now find ourselves with a vast new infrastructure for uploading. We simply need to find the will to make the best of it.
GenText is a powerful and innovative interactive text application that allows readers to access arguments at three levels – short abstract, single screen synopsis, and full selection – with the dynamic interaction offered by pinching and reverse pinching literalizing the metaphor of "zooming" between the levels in a text.
GenText recounts the history of how the computer became our culture machine, and is adapted from “Generations,” the last section of The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading. GenText offers a leading-edge interface for reading on portable touch screen devices such as the iPad and GenText exploits the affordances of our “print plus” moment. GenText will be of special interest for those working in new media, digital humanities, and the design disciplines. The app was developed by media artist Chandler McWilliams with input from Peter Lunenfeld.
The Directorate offers an alternate mode of accessing The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading. Not recommended for those with carpal tunnel, weak fingers, or short attention spans.
Interface by Jon Gacnik from a concept by Peter Lunenfeld, Chandler McWilliams, and Brian Roettinger.
“Written in sharp, fast-paced prose, Peter Lunenfeld's provocative new book implores today's creative citizens to make more and consume less. In a culture glutted with slick, Teflon-coated downloads, we need to push ourselves to upload our own content. If our work has sticky surfaces and rough edges, it will bond with other ideas in the network and contribute to an ongoing dialogue. The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading is a ready-to-use manifesto for contemporary media practice.”
—Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and author of Thinking with Type
“'Cultural diabetes,' 'plutopian meliorism,' and 'Teflon objects' are only a few of the extraordinarily vivid concepts Peter Lunenfeld points out in this fascinating and impressionistic journey of the key cultural and technological events—from the atomic bomb to the ubiquity of Google—that have landed us in our brave new networked, searchable, and data-filled world.”
—Judith Donath, Faculty Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University
“It is formally impossible to write a book that is more of-the-moment than Peter Lunenfeld's The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading.”
—Bruce Sterling, futurist, science fiction author, and net critic


Regional journals often face constraints that threaten their growth, calling for novel coping strategies. This paper outlines the problems and challenges in editing and publishing the SQU Journal for Scientific Research: Medical Sciences, the only peer-reviewed medical journal in the Sultanate of Oman. These included the absence of secretarial support and the consequent need to reduce paperwork, the fact that most papers required substantial editing even after peer review, and the lack of a single workflow for creating documents for the press and the Internet. These challenges were successfully met by creating an unconventional all-electronic workflow that catered to both the print and the online versions. The paper describes this workflow and offers suggestions for journals wishing to streamline theirs.
High quality medical journals can be produced by cash strapped editorial offices.Some 12 years ago while I was working in Sultan Qaboos University, we had a meeting of academic editorial staff from Arab countries. During the question-answer session the followed my presentation, editor of a struggling Iraqi medical journal told me, "We do a lot of research, but we need funds and infrastructure for running a journal. We don't have any." I lifted my presentation laptop and said, "Madam, this is my publishing office."
Therefore after a year (in 2003) when WHO EMRO conducted their first ever conference for medical editors of the Eastern Mediterranean region I presented a paper there which attracted many queries during the presentation and by email. I published a paper in January 2004 incorporating replies to these queries (PDF link above).
In 2003, my claim that my laptop was my publishing office drew skepticism from the delegates, but nowadays it is an acknowledged fact. Publishing workflows and printing technology have evolved so much that it has become much easier to publish. Time permitting I shall be writing an updated version of the article.
Importance of typography
Typography of a scientific article in a professional journal such as BMJ, NJEM or Nature may look simple, but a lot of meticulous work would have gone into it. The aim of the professional research journal typographer is not to show off his brilliance but to render the type as invisible as possible, so that the readability is enhanced. Too often typography is ignored by regional scientific journals, which affect their readability -- and ultimately credibility.
Samples of research papers I edited and designed:


Tolkien’s famous straightforward writing style and good use of syntax is as present as ever in this classic children’s fantasy novel. The tale begins with a wealthy old hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, reluctantly succumbing to his ‘Tookish’ side when Gandalf the wizard, Thorin and his dwarves arrive on his doorstep speaking of adventure!
The dwarfish treasure of old, guarded now by the fearsome and cruel Smaug the Dragon, has waited long enough to be claimed. The dwarves are reclaiming what is theirs, regardless of the exhausting journey. The band set off for Lonely Mountain in the western wilderness coming across no less than enraged Goblins, deranged Ogrs, heroic Eagles, dim-witted Trolls, the mentally unstable Gollum and gigantic Spiders!
Tolkien’s character development is very successful bringing each of the characters to life like a good friend or a well known enemy. Tolkien has very successfully avoided the ‘Mary Sue’ trap that many authors fall into by giving each character notable flaws and strengths.
The storyline has enormous potential, filled by the subsequent sequels in the series giving the reader a sense of knowledge about the ways and characteristics of ‘Middle Earth’.
Overall the Hobbit is a most successful classic book proved further by its continued success almost 70 years after first publishing. A highly recommended read.
Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson is an adventurous tale about pirates, their treasure, betrayal,and discovery.
Many of the exciting adventures in this book take place in the gray colored woods of the Island.
Of the many quotes that could be taken from this book I think the the most universally known and recognized would have to be “fifteen men and a dead man’s chest yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.”
Adventures though exciting can be dangerous for all involved…
Many people will do anything, even murder, for treasure.
The problem in the story is that though there is a large amount of money, it is not enough to satisfy the pirates greed, and they must take the others portion as well!
The story begins with Jim Hawkins running his father’s tavern/inn, the Admiral Benbow, when a man who makes himself known as “Captain” enters the house and asks for room and board.
Handing Jim a goodly sum he heads to his room.
After some exciting adventures Jim is off to Treasure Island!
The story ends in the usual way, that is the good people always win.
I would recommend this book for boys of all ages…(and girls too) because it accurately portrays the greed of mankind.

Challenges of Command in the Civil War: Generalship, Leadership, and Strategy at Gettysburg, Petersburg, and Beyond, Volume 1: Generals and Generalship
by Richard J. Sommers
SOPO’s Take: Richard J. Sommers, author of the excellent Richmond Redeemed: The Siege of Petersburg, which covers the Fifth Offensive at Petersburg, returns to Savas Beatie with a two volume series on generals, leadership, and strategy. This set is a collection of independent essays from the legendary Civil War scholar. The first volume focuses on Generals and Generalship, with six of ten essays focusing on or featuring Petersburg in some way along with maps of the Third through Ninth Offensives at Petersburg. More to come as I get the chance to read through the Petersburg portions.
Other essays focus on corps commanders at Gettysburg and Antietam, as well as civilian Corps commanders, and how certain Revolutionary War leaders had equally famous descendants in the Civil War.
BTC Siege of Petersburg Book Notes:
BTC Siege of Petersburg Book Sources:
Dr. Richard Sommers’ Challenges of Command in the Civil War distills six decades of studying the Civil War into two succinct, thought-provoking volumes. This first installment focuses on “Civil War Generals and Generalship.” The subsequent volume will explore “Civil War Strategy, Operations, and Organization.” Each chapter is a free-standing essay that can be appreciated in its own right without reading the entire book.
Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee stand out in Volume I as Dr. Sommers analyzes their generalship throughout the Civil War. Their exercise of command in the decisive Virginia Campaign from May 1864 to April 1865 receives particular attention-especially during the great Siege of Petersburg, about which the author has long ranked as the pioneering and pre-eminent historian.
Five chapters evaluating Grant and Lee are followed by five more on “Civil War Generals and Generalship.” One of those essays, “American Cincinnatus,” explores twenty citizen-soldiers who commanded mobile army corps in the Union Army and explains why such officers were selected for senior command. Antietam, Gettysburg, and Petersburg are central to three essays on Northern corps and wing commanders. Both Federals and Confederates are featured in “Founding Fathers: Renowned Revolutionary War Relatives of Significant Civil War Soldiers and Statesmen.” The ground-breaking original research underlying that chapter identifies scores of connections between the “Greatest Generations” of the 18th and 19th Centuries-far more than just the well-known link of “Light Horse Harry” Lee to his son, Robert E. Lee.
From original research in Chapter 10 to new ways of looking at familiar facts in Chapters 6-9 to distilled judgments from a lifetime of study in Chapters 1-5, Challenges of Command invites readers to think-and rethink-about the generalship of Grant, Lee, and senior commanders of the Civil War.
This book is an essential part of every Civil War library.

Title: Bookish and the Beast (Once Upon a Con #3)
Author: Ashley Poston
Publisher: Quirk Books
Release date: August 4, 2020
My rating: ★★★
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills.
On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he’s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read.
When Rosie and Vance’s paths collide and a rare book is accidentally destroyed, Rosie finds herself working to repay the debt. And while most Starfield superfans would jump at the chance to work in close proximity to the Vance Reigns, Rosie has discovered something about Vance: he’s a jerk, and she can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual.
But as Vance and Rosie begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for a finished copy!
I absolutely loved Geekerella and The Princess and the Fangirl! They are two of my favorite books. Needless to say, I thought Bookish and the Beast was going to be another love of mine, but unfortunelty, it was just an okay read for me. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t quite live up to the hopes that I had for it.
First off, Bookish and the Beast is the third book in the Once Upon a Con series! These books are companions so no, you do not have to read Geekerella or The Princess and the Fangirl to read this book. It can stand on its own just fine. However, I personally feel like you will have a better experience with this story if you read the other books first. There are several references to prior events and characters so you may get a little confused if you don’t. Also, this series is a lot of fun so I highly recommend Geekerella & Princess any way!
As you can probably tell, this is a Beauty and the Beast retelling! Ashley Poston did a wonderful job taking the classic tale that we all know & love and she put a bookish and geeky spin to it!
Rosie is our Belle! When Rosie chases after a dog, she ends up in an abandoned house….so she thinks. There she finds a huge library full of the Starfield books. After being caught in the house and damaging an expensive book, she must organize the library to pay off her debt. I really loved Rosie. She is a total book nerd. She loves the look of books, the smell of them and getting lost in th pages. My favorite type of character! Rosie recently lost her mother, the person who helped her to fall in love with books and Starfield. She is trying to navigate life without one of her parents while also trying not to be the “girl with a dead mom.”
Vance is our Beast. He is Hollywood royalty and oh, he plays the villain, General Sond in the Starfield movies. After many slip ups with paparazzi, Vance’s parents send him away so he can try to see the error of his ways. Vance can be pretty annoying and almost unlikeable at times. He is has that *I can do anything I want because I’m rich* thing going on and it drove me crazy. Of course, I still wanted the best for him though. He struggles with trust. He thinks that everyone is out to get him. He also feels like he isn’t good enough. It was interesting to see his character changes & learns. By the end of the book, he isn’t the same person we see in the beginning.
What I loved most about Geekerella & The Princess and the Fangirl is that they were very fandom centric. Being the nerd that I am, I really enjoyed the convention settings, cosplays and all the other geeky things that those books had. I was hoping for something very similar with the third book, but sadly that wasn’t the case. Bookish and the Beast went in a different direction and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. We still get to see the wonderful word of Starfield, but it’s through books. Obviously being a bookworm, I loved that, but I always found myself missing the fun of the ExcelciCon! Compared to the first two books, there wasn’t enough fandom related things for me to nerd out to.
As far as the romance goes, it wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t hate it by any means, but I didn’t find myself rooting for it either. The chemistry between the two seemed to fluctuate. At times I could definitely see the sparks between the characters and then others times I was almost cringing at the awkwardness.
My favorite part of Bookish and the Beast was the adults that surround Rosie and Vance! They were incredible. Vance’s guardian, Elias is a total gem. He was always there to support Vance, especially when his parents weren’t. Yes, Vance has his troubles, but Elias saw the best in him. He believed in him when Vance needed it the most! Rosies dad was the coolest! I’m not even kidding, I loved him. He is a 90’s rock band loving, ear gauge wearing, queer librarian. Total perfection! His relationship with his daughter as very special. It’s just him & Rosie. They take care of each other no matter what. He is so supportive and gives amazing advice! Space dad is the best!
This may not have been my favorite book in the series, but it was still a fun & quick read. The Once Upon a Con series will forever have my fandom loving heart!

The best collection of children’s literature around.

I bought this for some children I know because my daughter really liked the book when she was young. Their mother says they really like the stories in it. The book was in great shape considering it was used.

I purchased this in college around 1969 and used it with my children and later my students in elementary school. Loved it.

Haven't opened the package yet, but as long as it's still in good shape I'll love it. It's the content not the cosmetics.


Abstract and Manuscript Submission
Discuss authorship at beginning of the project. Different disciplines have different rules regarding the first or last author. The order may be alphabetical or is determined by the contribution of the co-authors. Keep in mind that things can change during the course of the project. Every journal has authorship guidelines and there are institutional guidelines. https://vp.research.msu.edu/michigan-state-university-guidelines-authorship
Discuss target conference/meeting early in the process. Figure out abstract deadlines/requirements. Some meetings are linked to their own respective journals. If you are presenting at one of these meetings, you might be required to submit to their journal.
Identify a target journal early. Who is your audience? What is its impact factor? Is the journal open access? Is there a publication fee? What is their acceptance rate? How many issues do they publish a year? Do they publish online ahead of print? How long does the review process take (check whether papers in that journal list a submission and an acceptance date)? Typically, most manuscripts are returned for at least one round of revisions before acceptance. The whole process from submission to publication can take anything from 3 months to a year. Be patient! These questions will give you a rough idea of how long the process will be.
The target journal you choose will also determine how to structure your manuscript, the format required, typical tables and figures, and reference style. If you write your manuscript in Word, learn how to use EndNote or Zotero or another reference manager. Use the reference manager to save relevant articles you want to cite in your manuscript.
Version control! Keep records of each version of the abstract and manuscript. Learn how to track changes in Microsoft. Consider OneDrive or another sharing mechanism so that all co-authors can edit the same manuscript. Otherwise you'll be stuck with trying to sync edits in multiple manuscript drafts. Be prepared for numerous revisions.
Figures There may be limit imposed by the journals how many tables and figures are allowed (outside the supplement). Figures and table/text supplement each other.
A figure can be a powerful tool to bring your point across. Spend quality time on producing good data visualizations. CSTAT statisticians can help with that. There are good statistical graphics principles to illustrate the main point and avoid optical illusions. A website with interactive graphics can be a great tool (e.g Hans Rosling, Gapminder or Dianne Cook's publications)
Consider submitting your protocol, initial data analysis, your programming code, details on the statistical analysis, your programming code in the supplementary material.


Theme: Rainbow Fish is a wonderful story about Friendship.
Rainbow Fish is a wonderful, award winning, children's book series, as well as a television show after the books became such a hit.
In the original book, Rainbow Fish, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the deep blue sea. However, just because you're because you may be beautiful on the outside, does not mean you have a beautiful spirit on the inside. Rainbow Fish's scales were so beautiful, sparkling with colors of purple, green, and blue, that everybody wanted at least one. All of the other fish would ask Rainbow Fish to come and play with them, but Rainbow Fish wouldn't even acknowledge they were there. Even though Rainbow Fish was beautiful, he he was unhappy because he had no friends. One day, one of the fish he swam by everyday asked for one of his beautiful, shining scales. Rainbow Fish's scales were the most important thing in the world to him. So he refused and the other fish ignored him every time he swam past. One day, he received some very good advice from a wise Octopus and he finally decided that the friendship of the other fish were of greater value then his beauty. He gave each fish one of his shining scales.
- Discuss Friendship with your students. Create a Friendship web as a class. Discuss what makes a good friend and what your students look for in a friend.
- Use the template shown below and have students (Grade 1) write what they think a friend is. Provide them with the sentence starter: "A friend is..."
- After reading, brainstorm what a friend is and write students responses on chart paper.

Growing in Knowledge
- The early church was birthed with opposition. Jesus was killed (but raised!) the church was being persecuted and people were running the apostles out of town. What made them keep pushing forward with passion and zeal?
- Talk about faith, hope and love. Are these attributes or virtues of the soul? Or are they actions of the soul? How does the apostle relate these terms to what God was doing in and through the Thessalonian church. How can faith, hope and love give impetus to our mission now?
Feeling Life Deeply
- Discuss how the terms “loved by God” and “chosen” make you guys feel? Discuss the difference between “believing” these things and intimately knowing them. What difference does it make to your identity to know these wonderful truths.
Living with Courage
- The gospel came to the people in Thessalonica with the power of the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. We just celebrated baptisms at Jacob’s Well. Who will you begin praying for by name and speaking to about Jesus this year?


STALIN & THE BOMB
464 pages, 49 photographs
For forty years the Soviet-American nuclear arms race dominated world politics, yet the Soviet nuclear establishment was shrouded in secrecy. Now that the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union has collapsed, it is possible to answer questions that have intrigued policymakers and the public for years. This book traces the history of the Soviet nuclear policy from the development of physics in the 1920's to the testing of the hydrogen bomb and the emergence of nuclear deterrence in the mid- 1950's.


Book me, Dano!
Rick Cockrum, of Shards of Consciousness tagged me with a book meme. Okay, Rick. Here you go:
How many books do I have? A couple hundred.
What is the last book I read? Strategy and the Fat Smoker, by David Maister. It doesn't officially ship until January, but I'll be putting up a review soon! Quite possibly the only book on management you will ever need...
What is the last book I bought? A Crack in the Edge of the World, by Simon Winchester, one of my favorite authors. The story of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, as only the author of Krakatoa can tell it.
Five Meaningful Books:
- Are You Ready to Succeed, by Srikumar Rao. Incredibly powerful book that will change the way you look at life and the world.
- Critical Chain, by Eli Goldratt. You have probably read The Goal, but this (and It's Not Luck) are better. You will never look at a project plan the same again!
- Influence, by Robert Cialdini. If you can only read one of these books, get this one! It will change the way you look at how your brain works.
- The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles. I'm partial to this free audio version of a book that lays it out plain and simple. It's like Strategy and the Fat Smoker in that respect!
- Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. A ripping yarn, magnificently written! Wonderful for all ages.
I don't tag people, but feel free to create your own answers to the questions!

Here’s what people are saying:
Kim’s passion for honest conversation between adults and young people about sex and health comes through loud and clear in her writing. TeenWorldConfidential inspires parents everywhere to keep the lines of communication open with their children, and to do it with openness and humor. I can’t recommend Kim’s book highly enough!
Founder of The Founding Moms, Professional Speaker, and Co-Host of the Breaking Down Your Business Podcast
“Kim Cook has written a book that could not be more relevant, more illuminating, and more important, not only to parents, but to society as a whole.
As she says in a voice that is both authoritative and humorous: ’Sexual health is not only about penises and vaginas, it encompasses so much more.’
Indeed. Teen World Confidential is an essential read that encompasses the very act of coming to terms with what is perhaps, the most powerful force on Earth, human sexuality.”
Peter Himmelman, Grammy and Emmy nominated musician, author and CEO of Big Muse
Teen sexual health can be a scary topic, but now it’s been made easier! This book has been researched and written by a woman who is passionate about the subject! She is a wife, a mom, a nurse and a certified health educator. Delve into the pages of this book to find ideas of how to guide your own teen through the often tumultuous and angst filled years of adolescence.

“It’s like having a best friend to talk to over coffee. A fresh and honest new voice… this is not your mother’s sex ed manual.”
TWC…factual, informative, always on top of the current health concerns… Kim Cook …eager to engage in even the most delicate issues and be a voice in the world of health!
Mother of three
As my daughter started slipping away somewhere in her 12th year, I met Kim Cook and started reading what she had to say. In a world of uncertainty for our kids, Kim’s way of communicating in Teen World Confidential opened my eyes as a parent, to the “What” to discuss with our kids today and importantly the “How”. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Through Kim’s insight, experience as both a mother and educator and her easy to digest quick read blog, I have found more doors opening in conversation with my daughter and have begun dialogue with my son on topics I never would have thought. Little by little, I see my daughter returning. I am so thankful to Kim Cook and Teen World Confidential. No parent should be without this resource, for the sake of our kids.

What a great tool for communicating with teens and all the challenges that come with those sensitive topics!!! Kim gives great ideas for opening conversations as well as valuable facts and smart ideas for keeping your children engaged and talking to you! I certainly wish I had this book in my arsenal when I was raising my kids!!! I can’t recommend this book enough!

In The Old Ways Macfarlane examines the routes that mark - and in many cases lie submerged within or beneath - the British landscape. And not just the British landscape, but Spain and Palestine too. He draws out the connections between pathways and stories, reflecting on the different kinds of thinking and writing there have been inspired by travelling on foot.
Macfarlane is a lyrical, eloquent writer, whose portfolio of interests encompasses art, geology, map-making, poetry, environmentalism and adventure. As he goes about this he is guided by the spirits of many who have gone before him; perhaps the most significant of these is the poet Edward Thomas, with the artist Eric Ravilious another.
This is both a book about journeys and a journey in its own right - into the past, but also into the self. It is scholarly, informative, moving and thought-provoking. All I can say really is wow, what a beautiful and inspiring book, makes me want to get off my arse and go for a walk. The beer was good too :)


The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla GroupsGebonden Engels 2023 9783110757484
The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla Groups discusses the most important ethical dilemmas associated with the fight against terrorist organizations and guerilla groups by providing readers with a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of how these forms of violence can be justified and how they ought to be fought by entities targeted by groups resorting to these strategies. It will be valuable to anyone interested in understanding the main ethical questions associated with these forms of political violence and the way they can be addressed.
After providing conceptual clarifications that will allow the reader to distinguish between terrorism and guerrilla warfare, it explains and discusses what the criteria are that can justify resorting to lethal violence on the part of the latter group as well as the criteria that can determine the identity of those who can legitimately be targeted by these groups.
The book analyzes when terrorists ought to be targeted and how this can be done, focusing on the inherent problems associated with the solutions that are normally used against state actors in order to prevent attacks on their part, namely what can be coined as "non-violent alternatives to war", such as economic or diplomatic sanctions, arm embargoes and non-violent resistance and, on the other hand, preemptive attacks.

Several weeks ago, I talked about how to get useful feedback on your writing from others. Some of those others are likely authors from your writing group, and if you’re asking for their reviews on your work, it’s only fair that you return the favor.
Here are a few suggestions on making sure your peer reviews are actually useful.
Besides, reading and thinking critically about the work of others will serve to make you a better writer as well.
There are so many services out there offering to help you become a better writer, from master classes with acclaimed authors to professional writing coaches. But one of the most valuable resources for aspiring writers is at the same time one of the most readily available and one of the most overlooked.
All you need is a library card and a bit of free time for research.
I’ve read the writings of and listened to interviews with numerous experts, whether published authors or publishing professionals, and one of the most common pieces of advice they give is to read.
But what does that entail?
Rebecca has a passion for helping you fill the world with great literature and making sure said literature doesn't get passed over for the lack of a little editing.


I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year has gone by so quickly. The holidays are only about a month away, and that means figuring out what to buy people. Buying gifts for loved ones who love books is about to get a whole lot easier.
With the help of my fellow bookworms, I’ve compiled a list of some of the items that would be most appreciated as holiday gifts that aren’t books. Here are some of the things we came up with, but I’d love to hear if you’ve got more ideas!
A true book lover needs something to hold their place in a book, and there are some really beautiful bookmarks available. When asked for feedback, my people overwhelmingly responded that they wanted bookmarks, so that is why this holds the number one spot. Some specific types were wooden bookmarks, custom wire bookmarks, anchor bookmarks, and even book darts. There are so many beautiful choices, and I’m always partial to checking out etsy.com first in order to support small businesses.
Scented candles are always nice to light while reading a book. There are a lot of companies that actually make candles with scents inspired by various books. While I haven’t tried any of these, a simple Google search for bookish candles will bring up a ton of sites.
3. Gift box subscriptions
This is something I’ve seen a lot of recently, and people absolutely love these boxes. You can order one box or an ongoing subscription. Depending on which box you order, it contains either books or books and various book-related goodies. Some of the more popular ones include OwlCrate, Illumicrate, and Fae Crate (which all include books and other stuff), and if you’re just looking for books, you may want to consider Book of the Month Club.
4. Library card coasters
These are super cute coasters are based on the due date cards that used to be in the back of library books, and are the perfect coffee table addition for a book lover. A word of advice – you will want to make sure that the one you choose is waterproof.
5. Book page wreaths
This is a super cool item that is exactly what it sounds like. Rather than a traditional wreath, this one is made out of pages! You can find a ton of these by looking up the term on Google, but there are a lot of gorgeous choices on etsy.com too.
6. Personalized bookends
Having shelves of books always comes with a problem – the books don’t stay where we put them. This is where bookends come into the picture. Personalized bookends are a great gift for any book lover, and there are endless ways to customize them. Letters, engraved crystal, quotes, scenery, and anything else you can think of can be put on a bookend.
As bookish people, we are often lovers of quotes and may struggle to stay organized. Calendars are often invaluable for us. I personally cannot function without my calendar to keep track of when things need to be posted, along with tracking my appointments. There are some really awesome bookish calendars out there.
8. Book themed mugs with some coffee or tea
For people who drink coffee or tea, a mug with a bookish theme and some of their favorite coffee/tea is the perfect gift. Plus the caffeine helps us stay up and read more!
9. Kindle or Nook e-readers
Although many of us still enjoy reading actual books, it’s hard to beat the convenience of e-readers. They can hold thousands of books in a tiny little handheld device, read in the dark (especially helpful if you share a bed with someone who is sleeping while you’re trying to read), and download books from your library/Amazon/Barnes & Noble without ever having to leave your house.
This post uses affiliate links and I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my links at no additional cost to you.
10. Shelves or other cool storage for books
Another problem of book hoarding is where to put them all. Book shelves or cool storage spaces will always be appreciated by the book lover in your life.
11. A cozy blanket to cuddle under
Especially in the colder months, the only thing better than having a great book is having a cuddly blanket to curl up in while reading. This is another gift that you can’t go wrong with.
12. A tub caddy for people who like to read in the bath
Some people absolutely love to read in the bath and find it more relaxing than anything else. There are tub caddy reading racks that fit over the sides of the bathtub, and have a spot to prop up the book (so the pages don’t get wet), along with a place to put a wine glass or other beverage of your choice.
13. A book light
For people who are purists and adore actual books over e-readers, a book light can make it a lot easier to read in conditions with low light. This also helps not to disturb a partner who wants the lights off.
14. Headphones for people who love audiobooks
Audiobooks are another hot trend. For people who don’t or can’t read traditional books, whether it’s due to a disability, lack of time, or just because they don’t like to read, audiobooks are a lifesaver. They allow people to read books while doing other things, like chores or other boring tasks. A pair of headphones, especially wireless/Bluetooth headphones can be the best possible gift, since they allow the user to have both hands free to do other things without being tethered to a phone.
Bookish pendants or other jewelry can be a lovely gift for the bookworm in your life. There are so many different options out there, and once again, etsy.com is always my first choice for jewelry. Many sellers can customize their offerings to your needs, and are usually really affordable.
16. Fairy lights
Fairy lights is probably one of my very favorite trends right now. It’s such a beautiful way to showcase bookshelves (or anything else) without being overwhelming. If your loved one is a bookstagrammer (takes photos of their books and posts them on Instagram), fairy lights will definitely be appreciated. Plus, they look super festive in any season!
17. Book pillows
There are some really cute throw pillows that you can find with books as a theme. Lots of them have cute or funny sayings on them – my favorite is “Go away, I’m reading,” but there’s so many different ones to choose from. I also saw some that are actually shaped like plush, velvety books.


Literacy is not just an education issue. It is an economic, workforce, and quality of life issue. In Georgia, 68% of fourth graders do not read proficiently.* Research shows that children who can’t read proficiently by the end of third grade are more likely to experience poor health, have discipline problems, and drop out of high school. As adults, they are more likely to spend time in prison, struggle with unemployment, live in poverty, and experience poor health outcomes.
The Mayor’s Reading Club program launched in August 2022. The goal of this new program is to improve the literacy skills and overall success with early reading of children and youth in Georgia cities through encouragement, support, and leadership from city mayors. The reading club is a simple concept designed to serve as a “building block” to a future Literacy Improvement Strategy Cohort to assist communities in developing and implementing a locally based literacy improvement strategy.
The program is flexible and can be delivered virtually, in-person, on-demand, year-round or at specific times and promotes partnerships and collaboration between the city, county, local nonprofits, schools, libraries, and the business community. In addition to mayors being featured readers, “guest readers” can be incorporated into to the program to promote engagement from other city elected officials, city staff, youth, and the community. The program can be expanded to incorporate a companion activity, such as art, that provides an experiential learning opportunity.
As part of the program, Georgia City Solutions has commissioned a children’s book series to teach young readers about local government. The first book in the series titled, Georgia Caroline Visits City Hall, follows Georgia Caroline and her classmates on a field trip to City Hall in their hometown of Happyville, Georgia. They are excited to meet Mayor Joneson and find out what a mayor does and what happens in City Hall.
Each participating city will receive a Mayor’s Reading Club starter-kit with a program implementation and resource guide, suggested book list, and a copy of Georgia Caroline Visits City Hall book. As part of the program, GCS will convene a forum twice per year of all mayors participating in the program to exchange program ideas, share best practices for successful reading programs and report on the impact of the program in their community.

Creator of Percy the Park Keeper Inspires Future Authors at Colchester High School
Pupils from Nursery to Year 6 were extremely fortunate yesterday to meet the top British children’s author and illustrator, Mr Nick Butterworth. Mr. Butterworth, who wrote and illustrated such favorites as Percy the Park Keeper and Qpootle 5 visited the School as part of an initiative to encourage more children to not only read more books but also to try writing their own stories. He shared his inspirations and thoughts on how to start writing in a very humorous and personal manner which thoroughly engaged all the children. Mr Butterworth later spoke to parents on how they can help inspire a love of reading in their children.
Here are just a few quotes from the children and staff:
‘He was an energetic as a 7-year old and I am inspired to write more stories.’
‘His presentation was good because he didn’t just talk, he showed us lots of pictures to inspire us.’
‘I wanted to read more as he made me realise there are many more books to discover.’
“He taught us how to plan a story and how to get a good idea out of nothing.”
“The children absolutely loved it! His enthusiasm and manner have very much left an impression and the children are enthused and inspired. I think some budding young authors have been created. “
Thank you to Mrs Roberts and the CHSA for organising the visit and to Mr Butterworth for his enthusiasm, energy, inspiring personality and engaging lessons in creativity.

This is My Story. This is My Song.
Sunday, January 19
2:00 p.m. Matinee
Frances Jane van Alstyne, more commonly known as Fanny Crosby, was an American mission worker, poet, lyricist, and composer. She was one of the most prolific hymnists in history, writing more than 8,000 hymns and gospel songs, with more than 100 million copies printed, despite being blind from shortly after birth.
Dr. Shellie O'Neal, Director of Theatre at Navarro College presents her amazing one-woman show and brings Fanny Crosby's remarkable life to the HCPAC stage on January 19th - a Sunday Matinee at 2p. Tickets are on sale at hcpac.org or by calling the office at 903-675-3908. Tickets are $10.00 (this special event is not part of the regular Season Ticket package).
Dr. O'Neal has long been inspired by the life and work of Fanny Crosby: she first learned of Mrs. Crosby in a Sunday School class when she was 7 years old. Thirty-one years later, while Shellie was writing a children's religious play, she encountered Fanny's story again and felt God leading her to write a play she could perform about this remarkable woman. O'Neal penned this play after conducting research which culminated in a trip to New York City, where she visited the New York Institution for the Blind where Crosby received her education and served as a teacher. She also visited the New York Public Library and viewed Crosby's personal scrapbook; the Bowery Mission where Crosby did social work; and Plymouth Church, where Crosby listened to her favorite preachers. O'Neal has written 24 plays, two of which have won Texas state playwriting competitions. This is her first one-woman show.
Dr. O'Neal received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Theatre from The University of Texas at Tyler and her Ph.D. in Theatre from Louisiana State University. She taught for three years at U.T. Tyler and for the past 15 years has served as Director of Theatre at Navarro College in Corsicana, where she has directed over 50 productions. She is a member of St. John's Church in Corsicana where she sings in the choir.
Shellie has performed her play about the life of Fanny Crosby in a variety of venues and locations in Texas, including Corsicana, Carthage, Frost, Gilmer, Turnertown, the Woods and Snap communities, Lampasas, Kerens and Troup. She celebrated her fortieth birthday by performing this play at the Bowery Mission in New York City, a mission where Fanny often ministered to those less fortunate than she.

Usage with Inferno
Inferno is a modern React-like UI library which ships an almost identical API, but claims to be much faster. Due to the fact it is really similar to React's API, the Inferno bindings for Fela(new tab) are basically the same as the React bindings for Fela(new tab).
yarn add inferno-fela
Instead of providing duplicate documentation, we therefore want you to check out the Usage with React instead. Just "replace" React with Inferno and you should be fine. There are only some differences which we are listing below.
Note: Similar to the usage guide, the API reference for react-fela works identical with preact-fela.

More about Winston Churchill
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer (as Winston S. Churchill), and an artist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough, a branch of the Spencer family. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.
At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before the First World War, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary, and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of Asquith’s Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign caused his departure from government. He then briefly resumed active army service on the Western Front as commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air. In 1921–1922 Churchill served as Secretary of State for the Colonies, then Chancellor of the Exchequer in Baldwin’s Conservative government of 1924–1929, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-war parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy. Also controversial were his opposition to increased home rule for India and his resistance to the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII.
Out of office and politically “in the wilderness” during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about Nazi Germany and in campaigning for rearmament. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider surrender helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the war when the British Commonwealth and Empire stood alone in its active opposition to Adolf Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory over Nazi Germany had been secured.
After the Conservative Party lost the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition to the Labour Government. He publicly warned of an “Iron Curtain” of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity. After winning the 1951 election, Churchill again became Prime Minister. His second term was preoccupied by foreign affairs, including the Malayan Emergency, Mau Mau Uprising, Korean War, and UK-backed coup d’état in Iran. Domestically his government laid great emphasis on house-building, and introduced safety and sanitation regulations for housing and workplaces. Churchill suffered a serious stroke in 1953 and retired as Prime Minister in 1955, although he remained a Member of Parliament until 1964. Upon his death aged ninety in 1965, Elizabeth II granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of world statesmen in history. Named the Greatest Briton of all time in a 2002 poll, Churchill is widely regarded as being among the most influential people in British history, consistently ranking well in opinion polls of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom.
