Forty Years of Graceby Pastor Bob Burridge ©1997
Grace in the 50's
By February of 1958 the group began meeting at the D & D Missionary Homes under the direction of Mr. Thomas Waldecker. They looked carefully to find an effective area for ministry in Pinellas County and, by November, they settled on the Skyview Development in the Pinellas Park region. On the 13th of that month Rev. Thomas Waldecker was ordained to serve as the founding pastor.
In December Rev. Jay E. Adams, General Secretary of National Missions visited them to help select a location for building a place of worship, and to organize officially into a mission church.
At a meeting in the home of Miss Elizabeth Shoemaker the new congregation met to constitute itself officially and to adopt the name Grace Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Adams helped them select a property on 58th Street where 110th Avenue North intersected. It was planned at that time that US 19 would likely use that as the main North-South road connecting St. Petersburg with Clearwater. Four lots were purchased with an option on a fifth. A loan was received from National Missions in the amount of $1,300 to purchase the four lots. The first public baptisms took place on December 28th placing the sign of the covenant upon four believers.
1959 began with the church's first Lord's Supper being served on the 4th of January. By March, 18 charter members were officially received. In May the church voted to purchase the remaining fifth lot bringing the total acreage to 1.5.
That December the plans were finalized to move their meeting location to the Skyview Recreation Building and a new pulpit was custom built and donated by Mr. and Mrs. Payerl. That pulpit is kept today in the library of the church in memory of those historic early days. The first church piano was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Allen.
Grace in the '60's
In 1961 a farewell party was held for Walter and Mary Cross who were returning for service in Chile. They had served there from 1949 to 1956. While in the states they had been ministering to migrant workers here in Florida.
A congregation meeting was held on January 15th, 1964 electing the church's first elders: James Barbee and Clyde Schrum. Elder Schrum was elected as the first Clerk of Session. At that same meeting the church voted to be a part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church as the organization of American Presbyterian denominations were going through changes. In 1965 that group completed its merger with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America General Synod to form the Reformed Presbyterian Church Evangelical Synod.
In January 1966 Walter Scott, James McGee and James Fagan were elected to become the church's first deacons.
In God's providence Pinellas County decided to route US-19 toward the Southeast to connect with 34th Street rather than using the 58th Street corridor. This left the church property in a somewhat isolated and quiet neighborhood.
Grace in the 70's
When Rev. Taylor left, the pulpit was filled by Mr. Bob Burridge who had just graduated from Seminary. While he taught full time at Skycrest Christian School, the church searched for its next pastor. By March of 1964 Rev. George Birchler was installed to lead the congregation. The layout of the church interior was changed and remodeled into its present configuration to create a better worship area and more classroom space.
Grace in the 80's
In 1985 the sanctuary seating was changed from wooden pews to the present chairs to allow for an increased number of worshippers. The session established three committees in 1986 to help share the increasing responsibilities of ministry. The committees were charged with the work of Christian Education, Youth and Activities, and Missions and Evangelism. In June of 1986 Pastor Easterling left to take another charge and Mr. Bob Burridge, who was now a ruling elder and candidate for the ministry under the Central Florida Presbytery, again became the stated supply preacher. During this time the church began recording its morning sermons, a computer was added for the pastor's use and a maintenance shed was added to the property.
In June of 1987 Pastor Burridge was ordained and installed as the church's fifth pastor. The first copy machine was purchased and an in-house printing ministry was started to produce the bulletins and various booklets authored by the pastor for use by the congregation. A Worship committee was established to help the pastor with bulletin preparations and to help with worship music.
In 1988 the church held a 30th anniversary dinner to commemorate its first three decades. Founding Pastor Tom Waldecker spoke and Pinellas Park Mayor Cecil Bradbury presented the church with a certificate of commemoration from the city.
In the last years of the 80's the church offered some special programs which included; special speaker Dr. John Skilton, seminars in education for Sunday School workers, the showing of the Francis Schaeffer film series How Shall We Then Live?, and some Moody Science films. Pastor Burridge was the guest of Dr. James Kennedy on his radio program to discuss his booklet The Truth About Christmas. That program has been rebroadcast nationally a number of times seasonally.
Grace in the 90's
This same year Central Florida Presbytery divided and the Southwest Florida Presbytery was formed. Pastor Burridge was elected to serve as the first year's moderator for 1991. He has since served two other one-year terms as moderator and between moderatorships served several terms as chairman of the Minister and His Work committee which advises churches with pastoral matters and examines all pastors entering our presbytery.
In 1991 Pastor Soeng Je Kim was called as Assistant Pastor to serve a Korean mission work that began meeting in the Grace Presbyterian facilities. That work was able to reach several Koran families before Pastor Kim was recalled to Korea due to immigration problems.
In the 90's the church family settled into having a monthly church fellowship time organized primarily by the Women In the Church (WIC). They also worked very closely with the local Pregnancy Center taking part in its fund raising activities, volunteering at the center and having the pastor serve on the board of directors over which he served a term as chairman of the board.
In 1992 the fellowship area was remodeled and later carpeted. A new sign was placed on the property with a flower box to improve the church's public presentation.
In the mid 90's Dr. Skilton was again invited to speak and Dr. Jay E. Adams presented a question and answer time about Christian counseling. An operations handbook was produced by the session to help direct its work toward the primary goals previously adopted. A playground was added for the children and the kitchen and nursery areas were remodeled.
The mid 90's also saw the birth of The Genevan Institute for Reformed Studies. It began with classes on Wednesday nights to provide a study showing the biblical foundations for the church's convictions. It was oriented for those interested in a more in-depth study than the regular worship services and Sunday School classes are able to offer. The study was arranged around the contents of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
In these latter years of the 90's, as the fourth decade of Grace Presbyterian drew to a close, the church suffered another setback as the economy of Pinellas County changed and several leading families were transferred out of the area due to job transfers and promotions. Again the session had to adjust the ministries to continue to provide all that God calls a church to do for its communing families. Hard challenges have always brought deeper commitments and have in many ways expanded the outreach of the church, though sometimes in ways not expected.
A Presbyterian Men's Training Program was begun by the pastor which continues to be used in preparing men for leadership in the home, church and community. It has been used as part of a training program for new groups of church leaders.
The Genevan Institute has drawn some new members into the fellowship of Grace, brought in several winter visitors, and has helped prepare some men for the ministry. There are now students attending who are candidates for the ministry and licentiates in the Southwest Florida Presbytery.
The Institute outreach became world wide with the introduction of a website at www.girs.com which continually draws hundreds of visitors from all over the world. It distributes articles on biblical issues into places where little true Christian education is available. Through this ministry, several of the pastor's booklets, prepared for this congregation in the past, are being distributed and used in churches all around the world. A chat channel was established on the DALnet system which is open for fellowship on a continual basis. The chat channel is called #Calvin'sCorner. It is attended on Sunday nights for live internet fellowship and Bible discussion.
Grace in the Years to Come
Pray for the families that make up Grace Presbyterian Church. The children are the future of this work. Some who are parents in the congregation now were once the children of the church. God's grace has brought this work to this point in time and has placed it where it can shine brightly. But God has always worked by means of the prayers of his saints who love him dearly and who work sacrificially to serve their King according to the ways in his Sacred Word.
Grace is a wonderful name for a church. As the hymn writer
John Newton wrote in 1779,
To be sure -- this has been a work of God's Amazing Grace!
Author's note: This history was reconstructed from what information was available in the church files. It is mostly taken from session records, newspaper clippings, denominational magazine notices, collections of church news letters and bulletins. Some periods were hard to fill in. This does not mean that little was done during those times. It just reflects what was placed in the records available to this author.


Of course, everyone makes mistakes, and a few may slip through no matter how meticulous you are. Scholarly history, in contrast, seeks to discover new knowledge or to reinterpret existing knowledge.
If the line is long, or if the circle around the antecedent is large, encompassing huge gobs of text, then your reader probably will be confused. The text elucidates the image by saying the boys are feeding one another in the fatal final stages of hunger.
Have someone else read your paper. You do need to establish what your source is, when and why it was produced, by whom, and what form it takes — as well as the basic content, the central message and perhaps the structure of the source — to give you a platform for the following commentary.
Many articles on the Web are little more than third-rate encyclopedia entries. Reading the draft aloud may also help. Thus, you want to form a topic sentence that each subsequent sentence relates to. As always, the best approach is to ask: You write too much in the passive voice.
How does that affect the source? Note also that the two clauses are now parallel—both contain transitive verbs. However, I would advise against using the term bias. This means that a source can be written in a completely subjective manner and still be considered reliable, as all facts are accurate.
It has a restrictive relative clause that limits the subject World War I to the World War I fought between andthus implying that there were other wars called World War I, and that we need to distinguish among them. How does the author try to get the message across?
This page only offers suggestions for focused short writing assignments of about two pages. But if you are footnoting encyclopedias in your papers, you are not doing college-level research.
These are not easy-option assignments and the most common reason for students being surprised by a low mark, especially early on in their studies, is simply not working as hard on this as they would for an equally-weighted essay. Families of eligible men were also targeted to encourage their family members to volunteer.
All sources a useful whether or not they are reliable. Where would they be likely to view this? Attend carefully to the placement of this limiting word. Usefulness — is this a useful source of information? Academic jargon and pretentious theory will make your prose turgid, ridiculous, and downright irritating.
This means asking three questions, each of which will mean drawing upon your wider reading: The verb to be is the most common and most important verb in English, but too many verbs to be suck the life out of your prose and lead to wordiness.
Initially, write as many as you think of. A campaign speech or the posthumously published diaries of the same politician, for example. Not only does it fail to recognize some gross errors, it also falsely identifies some correct passages as errors.
Words of hesitation—Try to eliminate words that connote a sense of hesitation e. What facts were missing? We piece together our wider understanding one source at a time.
How are the figures positioned? Think about the purpose of the source. The nature of trench warfare and life in the trenches dealing with experiences of Allied and German soldiers How useful would Sources E and F be for a historian studying the impact of total war on civilians in Britain and Germany?
There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources--whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies--that people from that period left behind.If you have never written a source analysis paper for a university History class before, it would be a good idea to first examine the Reading Primary Sources study aid in order to figure out how to read the sources you will use in your source analysis paper.
However, a Source Analysis should be like any other MH essay you write; building a thesis. What helps to establish the perspective of the individual writing the source? Things like the content of the source, the tone of the source, the type of person that they were.

The book has two primary themes. The first is the keepsake theme of the book with pages to record the financial dreams of parents, grandparents and others. Clear pockets are included to store baby’s first dollar and state quarter. There are pages dedicated to others first’s such as savings account, bond, stock investment and financial advisor.
The second theme is what makes it truly a book more than just a keepsake journal. Organized into chapters such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and college savings the keepsake pages are accompanied by easy to understand text about the different investments and concepts. The goal is to present the value of starting early in a new and unique way rather than with complicated terms and ideas often found in financial books.
The book also shows different examples of compound interest over a lifetime and allows parents to track the balance of an account with a “Munny Mountain” chart and photo pages to be used as the child grows.
The journal has inspirational quotes separating the chapters and is beautifully illustrated with original artwork by Krista Brand. Shelby Ronnestad served as creative director overseeing design and layout. Rich Ronnestad contributed text, charts and calculations.


The dream of a “Fountain of Youth” dates back to writings of Herodotus (Book III:23) who lived between 484–425 BC. The tale of such a fountain has been recounted across the world now for thousands of years. The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks its waters. Juan Ponce de Leon, the explorer and first Governor of Puerto Rico, dreamed of this Fountain of Youth and searched for it on a 1513 exploration of what is now Florida.
In 450 BC Herodotus spoke of the longevity, physical prowess, beauty, and general youthfulness of a group he called the Macrobians. The Macrobians were a people that thrived during the first millennium B.C. Herodotus attributes no magical qualities to a fountain of youth and paints no portrait like the one of modern fantasy. He suggests, rather, that given their strength and longevity, the Macrobians likely reaped some unique nutrition from their waters. The Macrobians most likely lived in the vicinity of the Rift Valley of what is now Ethiopia.

With my oldest son Wyatt heading from Kindergarten to First Grade this year I see the importance of keeping up with sight words and reading over summer break. We spent many nights practicing through the school year and I would be sad to see it go to waste. At the beginning of summer break I made flash cards for their sight words and a calendar to keep track of all of the reading programs at our local library. I have allowed both of my oldest boys to play learning games online as well as encouraging lots of reading at home.
This summer Borden milk is encouraging reading too by featuring Judy Moody from the Judy Moody children’s book series. Judy and her brother Stink are joining Borden’s Elsie the cow on the label of all Borden half gallons of milk. When you purchase a half gallon of milk it will have a code which can be entered online to unlock prizes and stories about Judy and Stink.
With more than 17.5 million books in print the Judy Moody book series, targeted at 6-9 year olds, is about a feisty and independent-minded girl who finds herself on a new adventure in each book of the series. This makes these books perfect for my two boys who are in that age range and enjoy any book with a bit of adventure or mystery.
Borden dairy produces best-in-class milk products for foodservice and retailers. There are a total of nine codes to be found on the Borden half gallons which can be redeemed for downloadable prizes. There is also a ‘Way Cool’ sweepstakes you can enter to win prizes! The grand prize winner will receive a complete library of Judy Moody and Stink signed by the author/illustrator! Join in on the ‘Moo-dy Summer Mania’ fun and encourage reading habits without your kids even realizing!
What books are you reading with your kids this summer?
I have been compensated for this post. This post is sponsored by Scholastic and Borden but all opinions are 110% my own.

In a small city of the new American South, we find an unexpected world of haves and have nots, families and outsiders, old hatreds and first loves that unfold in eight imaginatively rendered stories. As these characters rush into circumstances where everything changes, we watch them make bad choices for good reasons, or good choices for bad reasons – with aftershocks that ripple through the lives of everyone around them.
Stark and funny, brutal and tender, Ludwick’s stories are rooted in hope, in human kindness, and an ability to find beauty everywhere. Originally the inspiration for an award-winning design collaboration, The First Time She Fell emerges on its own as an ambitious debut collection that is, in the words of one character, “as beautiful as the world is sharp as the world is sweet.”
Visit the publisher's site, at CRPress.org.
“Ludwick’s stories don’t feel limited by an author’s hand, but open to change and consequence and the whims of the universe. In other words, they feel real. And in their plumbing the depths of the human soul – the child’s soul, the priest’s, the criminal’s – they remind us that ‘at heart, anyone is capable of anything.’ The First Time She Fell is surefooted and quietly sublime.”
The First Time She Fell || Book Trailer
“Poignant meditations on the economic, religious and ethnic diversity that is the New South… even at their most brutal, these stories deliver beauty and promise through Ludwick’s sharp yet graceful prose and keen compassion for his characters.”
– Sybil Baker, author of Into this World
The First Time She Fell debuted as a collaborative art project — a collection of short stories written by Caleb Ludwick, and visually interpreted by eight graphic designers: Nick DuPey, Beth Joseph, Michael Hendrix, Ben Horner, Roby Isaac, Mandy Lamb Meredith, Joseph Shipp, and Liz Tapp.
Made possible by a grant from the Lyndhurst Foundation, it was recognized as a “Most Creative Project in the Southeast” by PRINT magazine.
In 2013, the eight stories in the book were picked up and published by C&R Press, with a revised cover by Paul Rustand.
“The real heavy hitters are Ludwick’s skillfully conceived characters and their lingering voices. You find yourself imagining the character’s moment of redemption… You hope. You cross your fingers.”

The Journal of Latin American Communication Research (JLACR) is a six-monthly peer-reviewed scholarly journal, published by the Latin American Association of Communication Researchers (ALAIC) and its partners in the region. The main focus of the journal is to analyze and promote the studies that are being held about communication processes in Latin America. In this sense, the journal includes general topics of media and mass communication, as well as interpersonal and digital communication, seen from different disciplines. JLACR accepts mainly original articles derived from social research, and other proposals like theoretical disquisitions, literature reviews and analysis of previous research.
CALL FOR PAPERS VOLUME 4, ISSUE 1, (JAN-JUN, 2014) DEDICATED TO “Social digital networks: nodes, vertexes and awns of our culture”
The Journal of Latin American Communication Research invites interested and specialized scholars to send in their original innovative papers to be included in Vol. 4, Nr. 1, which will address the topic of the complex phenomena of social digital networks. Based on practical observations and theoretical analysis, it has been considered that interactions and activism within digital networks are a democratizing communicative promise, whereas there is also a perspective from which they are seen as nothing but distracters and disturbances in the public sphere. Among those who consider it an uprising positive phenomenon and those who perceive it in a more negative way, a series of questions worth answering comes up: which are the reasons of their great magnitude and influence? What is it that has got them to have such tremendous impact in a very short period of time? Are they actually playing a role in agenda-setting and public policies? Where are they standing when thought as part of contemporary culture? Fulfilling this debate with well-grounded positions and providing empirical data is fundamental to build theory that can suitably explain these phenomena. These are the goals pursued by the Journal of Latin American Communication Research in this space of theoretical and practical analysis.

Ever since I became convinced of the tremendous value of reformed theology, it has become part of my vision for online ministry to gather together and share reformed resources. I’ll continue sharing reformed resources right here on ReformingChristianity blog, but you may find my other websites of value in this regard:
ReformingChristianity- Resources for the reforming Christian– This is a regularly updated collection of amazing, high-quality reformed resources, that are available on the web for free. It uses “Netvibes”, a Web 2.0 platform that helps one collect and organize web content to create personal or public pages. To further investigate and study reformed theology, this vast collection of reformed theological teachings, sermons, blogs, podcasts, free books, free seminary courses, is an excellent resource. Feel free to contact me via my contact page if you want to suggest a new resource!
Jordan’s View– This was my first blog, started in 2005. At the time I began the blog I was not yet reformed in my theology, but soon thereafter became convinced of reformed thinking, and the blog began to reflect the theological change. Jordan’s View has many articles and also a large number of reformed resources available via the sidebars.

THE 30-TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NUCLEAR SAFETY INSTITUTE OF RAS: KEY MILESTONES IN RW MANAGEMENTJOURNAL: 2018, ¹3, p. 7-15
AUTHOR: L.A. Bolshov, I.I. Linge, S.S. Utkin, M.V. Vedernikova
The Nuclear Safety Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBRAE RAN) was established with the aim of
advancing basic research in nuclear and radiation safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. Over
the years, development of a modern radioactive waste management system was added as another goal to the list of
state tasks raised before the Institute. The paper overviews the historical background of IBRAE RAN activities in RW
management covering a period of over 20 years and presents the main areas of its research on this topic. Consolidation
of scientific expertise and research to address cross-cutting challenges associated with the establishment and further
development of a unified radioactive waste management system, as well as the development of strategic master plans
providing for the long-term safety of nuclear legacy facilities is viewed as a pillar of IBRAE RAN success.
Keywords: The Nuclear Safety Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, radioactive waste, the establishment of a unified
state system for radioactive waste management, research areas

Missing Madeleine McCann's mother, Kate, is to publish a book about her daughter's disappearance titled 'Madeleine'. Dr Kate McCann assures us this book will be "an account of the truth". From this statement we can assume, then, that there is more than one account of the truth - one of which she obviously didn't tell the Portuguese Police when she (and Madeleine's father) were made arguido's following an official police interview during which Kate refused to answer the police's 48 questions...otherwise why the need to write a "fundraising book" to be published four years after the event?
Whilst we are all waiting to, finally, read the truth in Kate McCann's new book we are informed that the former Portuguese police investigator, Gonçalo Amaral (who was removed from the investigation by Prime Minister Gordon Brown), will also publish a new book as a sequel to his first book - 'Maddie: The truth about a lie' - that was banned by the McCanns (then recently unbanned and is back on sale).
Enlightening times ahead.
Again, whilst we are waiting for the publication of these two books to enlighten us as to what may have happened to Madeleine McCann, I have listed some articles here written by former lawyer, Tony Bennett, Secretary of the Madeleine Foundation, who has been analysing this mystery for the past four years:
50 facts about the Maddie case that the British media are not telling you
Jon Clarke's role in 'Maddie in US' claim
ROBERT MURAT'S ROLE
ROBERT MURAT'S ROLE
Much more information can be found on the research and analysis forum, such as:
What questions must the McCanns' forthcoming book answer? - A chance for us all to ask the McCanns to clear up lots of unanswered questions
Letter to Transworld from The Madeleine Foundation inviting the McCanns to answer 163 key questions in their forthcoming 'very truthful' book
If you are interested in Maddie's plight, then please register with the forum and help search for the real account of the truth about what happened to this little girl.

Jamie Martin & Legacy of Robert L. Calico Sr.
Tri-State Defender contributing writer Roquita Coleman shares her late father’s legacy with readers. Her generational story includes memories of Robert L. Calico Sr. and his relationship with grandson Jamie Martin. Jamie is an international traveler, student at the University of Memphis and intern at One Step Initiative. Jamie had the opportunity to travel to Ghana West Africa with the Spring 2018 cohort as a travel group coordinator.
My father was a proud LeMoyne-Owen College undergraduate alum. He attained his Masters degrees from Trevecca Nazarene University and was a passionate mathematician who devoted his life to educating our next generation, first as a Memphis City Schools teacher, then higher learning at the University of Memphis and Southwest Tennessee Community College.
My father’s book gifts were widely known in the family. When Jamie was 10 years old, his grandfather gave him a volume of College Algebra books. With hours of tutoring with his grandfather, he had everything he needed to excel. One of my father’s proudest moments was the day Jamie left for a one-year international exchange program in France.
In lieu of flowers, Coleman invited supporters to help high school students from underserved communities study abroad saying “education is my father’s legacy.” OSI is grateful for Roquita’s support, thoughtfulness during such a hard time, and unique contributions from her family and friends in honor of her father’s legacy.


Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname. It is also spoken in several African regions colonized by the Netherlands. This BibleMax free module features the Staten Vertaling (States Translation) Dutch version of the Bible. It is the first Dutch version translated directly from the original Hebrew and Greek texts and was first published in 1526. Unlike the original, printed version of this Bible, the BibleMax module does not contain the Apocrypha, that is, those books not considered as canonical by most Protestant denominations. The Apocrypha were published in the Stater Vertaling in an Appendix with a warning to readers. Thus, if you expect to find an exact reproduction of this Dutch version, you may be disappointed.
To correctly run this module, you will need BibleMax core software, which can be downloaded at the developer's website. If you like this program and want to get more Bible versions, as well as commentaries, references, maps and other materials, you can order the free CD-ROM by paying only a symbolic P&H fee.
- Useful for study and comparison purposes
- It only works with BibleMax software


All About Robbie Why is Burns so popular today?
He has a national day named after him on the 25th January each year. Burns suppers are celebrated on this day with traditional dishes of haggis and whisky and recitals of his best-loved work. At New Year all over the world, his poem ‘Auld Lang Syne‘, a sincere expression of friendship is sung. His face has featured on banknotes and his books have been translated into over forty languages.
Although he died over 200 years ago in 1796, why has Burns become a poster boy for the Scottish identity and why is he more popular than ever today?
So who is this national bard? He was a farmer’s son who could speak to the common man. His life growing up among the ordinary people of Scotland meant he could write about nature and hardship as well as love and family. He also led a colourful and varied life which exposed him to different sections of society.
He was born in a small town in Ayrshire in 1759, the son of a tenant farmer. He was well-read and was educated both at school and at home. He began writing while working on his father’s farm and his first works were songs declaring his love to local girls.
Burns’ first collection of poetry, ‘Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect’, was published in 1786 and includes favourite ‘To A Mouse’. It became known as the ‘Kilmarnock Edition’ after the town in which it was published and all copies were sold within a few weeks.
Burns had been planning to emigrate to Jamaica but, encouraged by the success of his book, he stayed in Scotland where he took the Scottish literary world by storm. He published a second edition of his poems but his popularity did not make him wealthy. He liked a drink and frequented the Globe in Dumfries and due to his lifestyle, the money made from writing did not last long.
By 1787, he was working as a farmer again and built Ellisland Farm in 1788. Despite Burns’ increasingly radical views, he took a job in the Excise Service in Nithsdale. The hard work this job entailed and his dissolute lifestyle took their toll on Burns’ health and he died on 21 July 1796 aged 37 on the day his son Maxwell was born.
Ellisland is a national treasure as it is so unchanged and shows us exactly how he and his wife, Jean lived during the peak of their wealth and the height of his poetical inspiration – Robert Burns described Ellisland Farm as “the poet’s choice” he experienced his most creative and fruitful years here at Ellisland. He found great poetic inspiration in the beauty of the surrounding countryside, the various people he met and the events he witnessed whilst living here.
Although Nithbank was built some years after Burns death, there is one account of his association with Nithbank’s family of the time.

Beneath the skyscrapers and bustling streets of contemporary New York City lies a rich tapestry of colonial history waiting to be unraveled.
As visitors traverse the city, they may unknowingly walk past pivotal sites that bore witness to the birth of a nation. From the cobbled streets of yesteryears to the echoes of historical figures, Colonial New York City holds stories that have shaped the very fabric of American society.
Join in on this exploration to uncover a past that continues to influence the present, offering a deeper insight into the foundations of this vibrant metropolis.
Dutch Settlement and English Conquest
The Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam was swiftly overtaken by English forces in 1664, marking a pivotal moment in the city's colonial history. Despite the change in leadership, the spirit of freedom and resilience continued to thrive among the inhabitants.
The transition to English rule brought about new opportunities and challenges, shaping the city into a diverse and dynamic hub of trade and culture. As the streets of New Amsterdam transformed into New York City, the principles of liberty and independence remained ingrained in the hearts of its people.
This shift in power laid the foundation for a future where the pursuit of individual freedoms and democratic ideals would flourish, defining the essence of this historic metropolis.
NYC as the Nation's Capital
During its tenure as the nation's capital, New York City served as a pivotal center of power and governance. As the heartbeat of the newly formed United States, NYC witnessed the birth of American democracy firsthand.
The city pulsated with political fervor, hosting the first President, George Washington, and Congress as they laid the foundation of the nation. The Federal Hall on Wall Street became the nucleus of American politics, where crucial decisions were made, and the principles of liberty and democracy were enshrined.
New York City's role as the capital was a beacon of freedom and unity, symbolizing the beginning of a new era for the country, where the voices of the people were heard and respected.
Colonial Trading Hub on the Hudson
Positioned strategically at the mouth of the Hudson River, Colonial New York City emerged as a bustling trading hub during the 17th and 18th centuries. Its prime location facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures, shaping the city's identity as a melting pot of commerce and innovation.

1. Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. You'll actually feel for this "monster."
2. The Witch's Life by Anne Sexton. Great imagery, great word choices. And, if I'm reading it right, this poem is saying that kids make lovely, sain women turn into grumpy old witches.

4. The Skeleton at the Feast: The Day of the Dead in Mexico by Elizabeth Carmichael and Chloe Sayer. This informational book explores the culture in Mexico and how Dia De Los Muertos (my favorite holiday) is celebrated. Get a used paperback from around $5.
5. The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. The follow-up novel to Interview With a Vampire, this novel follows Lestat (Tom Cruise's character) as he goes on a search to discover his own origins.

6. Wicked by Gregory Maguire. The play is good. The book is even better (books are always better because you get to use your own imagination.)

Doing Good Better: How Effective Altruism Can Help You Make a Difference
by William MacAskill
William MacAskill does a fine job explaining effective altruism, a fairly recent social movement that applies research data and logic to all altruistic actions, rather than basing decisions solely on emotion. He explains that one can make the greatest positive impact by considering data and using reason.
The author provides various scenarios to illustrate how this concept works. For example, a randomized controlled study in a developing country's school system ascertained that providing deworming medication to students increased school attendance more than providing free school uniforms and supplies. Without taking the time to do this research, any donated school supplies would ultimately not make an impact if the children were sick and unable to attend school. MacAskill urges readers to consider how they might utilize effective altruism in their own lives.
Plastic Purge: How to Use Less Plastic, Eat Better, Keep Toxins Out of Your Body, and Help Save the Sea Turtles!
by Michael SanClements
St. Martin's Griffin (2014)
In "Plastic Purge," SanClements provides an analysis of plastic, including its history, how it's made and the products made from it. While he touches on the benefits of plastic, he focuses mainly on the detriment of overuse and lack of recycling. The author provides tips on how to use less plastic, which results in less waste in our landfills and oceans and fewer toxins in our bodies.
The tips in this book can be implemented by anyone. Choosing to drink non-bottled water, purchasing BPA-free plastic products, and making an effort to recycle is easy to do -- yet, collectively, it makes a big difference for our environment.
If the titles above pique your interest, you may also like these: "29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life" by Cami Walker offers daily actions that may seem simple on the surface but make a big difference in others' lives; in "The Most Good You Can Do: How Effective Altruism Is Changing Ideas About Living Ethically," world-renowned philosopher Peter Singer provides attainable life changes one can make to give more to those in need; and "Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the World" by Mattieu Ricard examines the component of empathy in altruistic actions.
All of these titles and thousands more are available for checkout at the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library.

Bridgerton Season 1 ซับไทย
Bridgerton season 1 ซับไทย ความมั่งคั่งตัณหาและการทรยศที่เกิดขึ้นกับฉากหลังของอังกฤษในยุครีเจนซี่ซึ่งมองเห็นได้ผ่านสายตาของตระกูลบริดเจอร์ตัน ผู้มีอำนาจ
In 1813, households are preparing for the social season of arranging matches for marriage. Among the debutantes presented to the queen are the three Featherington sisters and the eldest Bridgerton daughter Daphne, whom Queen Charlotte praises highly, giving her an edge over the other young ladies. A new scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown circulates London, promoting Daphne as the season’s “Incomparable”. A distant cousin of Lord Featherington, Miss Marina Thompson, comes to stay for the season under the supervision of Lady Featherington.
Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, returns to London to see to the affairs of his late father. Simon’s confidante, the indomitable Lady Danbury, pressures him into joining the season. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton deems all suitors unsuitable for his sister Daphne. Anthony’s off-putting behavior drives away all potential suitors except the detestable Lord Berbrooke. Miss Thompson picks up the slack, to the delight of Lady Whistledown and the anger of the queen. Lady Danbury and Lady Bridgerton conspire to bring Simon and Daphne together. Anthony breaks up with his mistress, Siena Rosso. Lady Featherington deduces that Miss Thompson is pregnant. Simon and Daphne agree to pretend to court, so that Daphne will enjoy the attentions of suitors eager to steal her away from a duke while Simon will have respite from ambitious young ladies and their mothers.
Flashbacks reveal Simon’s tragic childhood. After his mother died in childbirth, Simon was left under the control of his cruel father, who refused to accept that his only son was less than perfect.

Apart from the raw information in herbaria and the forest, field guide writers should be aware of the full spectrum of botanical information that has been published.
Field guide writers should always check published data about species against their own specimens and plants in the field. Because much field information is not physically available in herbaria, it is often copied and not checked independently, leading to more errors than with more standard botanical characters.
Existing field guides
Other field guides are useful for inspiration, when choosing style and content, and sources of specific information about particular groups of plants.
The 'newspapers' or periodicals of the scientific world, where information is published bit by bit, as it is discovered. All new species have to be published and described when they are first discovered, and most of these publications today are in a limited range of journals, each of which tends to specialise in plants from certain regions.
Many journals are published regularly by the large herbaria, such as:
- Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden
- Adansonia (Paris herbarium)
- Angiosperm Phylogeny Group website
- Internet Directory for Botany
- Kew Bulletin (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew)
- Systematics and Geography of Plants (Formerly Bull. Jard. Bot. Nat. Belg.)
- Systematic Botany (America Society taxonomists)
Review of taxonomic and other information for a given plant group.
American plants, to 1969.
Many botanical publications are listed by Harvard, Kew and other herbaria. The Kew bibliographic database, for instance, includes Kew Record, "a bibliography of over 200,000 publications published since 1971 and relating to the taxonomy of flowering plants, gymnosperms, and ferns".
For a definition of a Floras in the context of other publications, see here.
For anyone needing to identify plants in the tropics, the first stop for information has been the Guide to the Standard Floras of the World by David Frodin (Frodin, 2002: C.U.P.). It concentrates on floras, but also covers major checklists and identification guides, listing them by the major regions of the World (e.g. South America) and the component countries.
For a list of online Floras see e-Floras.

Although there is no legal problem rephrasing, reinterpreting, repackaging published information, providing due credit is always given to the source, it is not usually legal to scan people's images and include them in your field guide without permission. It is legal to scan and resuse pictures more than 70 years after the author's death. This means there is an underutilised treasure trove of old, often beautiful illustrations in old monographs and early floras - for a list of examples.

A festive Cinco de Mayo celebration.
A Mexican hairless cat with a prophecy.
A murder most foul amid the fiesta.
As the small town of Tablerock, Texas prepares for its annual Cinco de Mayo festival, Ellie and Evie Rockwell were counting on a day filled with tacos, perhaps a pinata or two, and a fiesta of feline fun at Silver Circle Cat Rescue. Instead, they’re served a stiff dose of reality when the town’s eccentric tarot card reader Luna Espinoza is found face-down in her award-winning margarita mix.
What’s more, Silver Circle’s newest feline resident, the reader’s mysterious Mexican hairless cat named Mystico, has some chilling messages from Luna in the great beyond—and the tarot reader insists her murder won’t be the last.
As Cinco de Mayo turns from a celebration into a murder investigation, Ellie and Evie must use their unique ability to communicate with the cats of Silver Circle to unravel the mystery. But with so many potential suspects who wanted the tarot reader out of the picture, they’ll need more than a deck of cards to identify the killer.
Can Ellie and Evie reveal the murderer before they strike again? Or will the killer’s future remain hidden in the cards?


The Great War
When the sound
of gunfire echoed
round our village
TODAY we have posted the final parts of our series about The Great War with an article, specially researched by Bill Flentje, about a huge rifle range which existed at Wormald Green between 1915 and 1918. There is, however, nothing left of it today to remind us of the time when the sound of rifle fire resounded around Bishop Monkton almost on a daily basis.
Also posted is our Conclusion to the series, with additional material provided by some of our readers.
These and all other items in the series can be accessed by going to the navigation column on the left of this page and clicking on THE 1914-18 WAR and then on the item which is of interest to you.

All the facts and figures behind recreational angling’s most amazing catches are now available in the 2018 edition of IGFA World Record Game Fishes published by The International Game Fish Association.
The IGFA World Record Game Fishes is the world’s definitive publication of recreational angling records. The 2018 edition includes comprehensive information on all freshwater, saltwater and fly-fishing world records for all-tackle, line classes and length-based catch and release records, including new world records set in the last year.
“We’re excited to fulfill our longstanding role as the angling world record keeper through the release of our iconic annual publication,” said IGFA President Nehl Horton. “Angler recognition, game fish conservation and education are the cornerstones of our association. With the latest edition of IGFA World Record Game Fishes, we aim to inform, educate and inspire those who are interested in our sport by celebrating the achievements of anglers around the globe.”
The 2018 edition is also available online as a digital magazine, providing IGFA members with access to the entire list of IGFA records and valuable content about freshwater and saltwater fishing techniques, personalities and conservation topics.
Since 1939, the IGFA has set international angling rules and maintained world records for saltwater game fish. In 1978, its global rules and record-keeping mandate expanded to include freshwater species and fly fishing records when Field & Stream magazine, the Salt Water Fly Rodders of America and the International Spin Fish Association turned over their record-keeping responsibilities. In 1979, the IGFA first published freshwater, saltwater and fly-fishing records together in its iconic annual world record book.
The 2018 world record book also includes information on IGFA member clubs, captains, weigh stations and discount programs designed to help recreational anglers connect with each other and access a wealth of relevant and timely information.
As part of their membership, IGFA Lifetime and Corporate members receive a printed copy of the annual 2018 IGFA World Record Game Fishes as a valued keepsake and easy offline reference resource. The publication is available for purchase through the IGFA’s online store and IGFA Premium members are sent a promotional code for purchasing books at a discounted rate.
