Q & A with Jonas Klein
Tell us a little about yourself, from whence
do you hail?
I haileth from Roxbury and Newton, MA, the second
child of Magda & Bela Klein, Hungarian trapeze performers. My parents
changed their names to Mary and David, and my father gave up the Big Top
for dentistry. They never flew again. As a juvenile during WWII, I passed
my time excelling at baseball against the stairs (stoop ball), knitting
blankets for England, and scanning the skies for German dive bombers. (See
Mother Wore a Helmet and Other Tales of Lasterday Chapters 1 &
What's your favorite anectdote from the old
Unquestionably, it was the time I was arrested
for grand theft auto by Officer Lawless of the Cambridge, MA Police Department
along with 3 co-conspirator friends at the age of 14. This true tale is
hilariously related in Mother . . . Chapter 4, "My Night
in the Slammer." What started as a juvenile prank ended as a .
. ., well, it's so well told in the book I'll leave it at that. I should
add that I have been completely rehabilitated.
When did you first learn of Campobello Island,
and what drew you to it as a vantage point on the lives of the Roosevelts?
I first knew of Campobello in early studies of
Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt. My Master's thesis was on FDR and I learned
that Campobello seemed important in their lives but was given bare notice
by other biographers. I was determined to study the Roosevelts more deeply
and, perhaps, write about them. A visit to the island several years ago
made a deep impression and I resolved to use Campobello as the focus of
a Roosevelt biography keying on their island home as an important element
in their personal development that had, essentially, been all but ignored
in the legions of Roosevelt biographers and historians.
Why write a book? I imagine it took a little
chutzpah to throw your hat in along with the many historians who have written
about the Roosevelts - where did you get the nerve?
Why write Beloved Island: Franklin & Eleanor
and the Legacy of Campobello, you ask? Why not, I reply. Not only had I
found a "hook" that others had neglected, I felt need for some
personal accomplishment. I wanted to write, I wanted to write about the
Roosevelts (my personal heroes), my primary goal was fun and not profit,
and I had the time and energy to make the attempt. I was convinced that
I could prepare a decent manuscript although I was clueless to any promise
that someone would publish my work. I loved the challenge and the process.
It didn't take nerve, because I honestly believed that the work was its
Do you have a "beloved island" of
I do have a "beloved island." I live
on a Maine island and quickly sensed that much of the intense love that
the Roosevelts had for Campobello was much the same that I felt for my home.
Island life springs, to a large extent, from unique rhythms of tide, light,
and pace. It is the surrounding sea that in many ways sustains and energizes
our souls. Campobello had a profound effect on both Franklin and Eleanor,
although in different ways and in different stages of their lives, and I
both understood and related to that premise. That is, essentially, the "why"
and the "what" of Beloved Island.
Has the experience of writing and promoting
the book changed you?
The experience has not made me wealthy, but it
has helped make me healthy and wise. It has been exhilarating and in every
way emotionally rewarding. And, most important, it has been great fun. In
addition to book signings, talks and appearances, the book created for me
a new persona to go along with the old tired one. I'm a folk hero to my
neighbors, an expert to audiences as a teacher and lecturer, and a source
of amusement and pride to my family and friends. To some, Stephen King is
referred to as "that other Maine author." My granddaughter is
in wonder in her belief that I'm the oldest person to ever write a book.
It's added a little hop to my gait, a prideful entry to my resume, and some
adventure to my tax return. But, beneath it all, I'm still the same modest
retired IBM aide that is beloved by family and friends, and now esteemed
in the book department of L.L. Bean.
Were you surprised by anything in your research?
Did the experience bring you closer to Franklin and Eleanor?
My research developed new insights into the Roosevelts
and reinforced my understanding of certain themes while altering others.
The most surprising revelation was the depth and significance of the relationship
that developed between Eleanor and Louis Howe, Franklin's closest friend
and advisor. Not only did Howe encourage, help kindle and develop Eleanor's
skills as a political person, there grew a mutual understanding and warm
friendship between two lonely people who had much in common in addition
to their mutual affection and support of FDR. My research brought me closer
to both Roosevelts, and heightened my admiration for both and my affection
for Eleanor. Their mammoth contributions aside, I came to evaluate them
as individuals, mates, parents, friends, and citizens. Franklin came short
in most, Eleanor in few.
Franklin and Eleanor were both great communicators,
certainly FDR was an innovator in his use of radio to reach out to the public.
If Franklin and Eleanor were alive today, would they be bloggers? More importantly,
would you invite them over for dinner? What would you serve?
Franklin remains to this day, in my estimation,
the greatest communicator the American presidency has known. To be fair,
Martin Van Buren might have exceeded FDR, but we have no sound bites to
judge. Reagan, the actor, was good, but FDR was welcomed by radio into living
rooms and kitchens as the reliable uncle who looked after our best interests,
and who seemed very much to care. Only Walter Cronkite comes close. Eleanor,
not nearly as effective at the lectern or microphone, was great in small
groups and in a one-on-one. She was an effective writer, and a good listener.
FDR was neither. An outstanding editor and synthesizer, he might have blogged
with the best of them. I'd enjoy having them for dinner and try to get a
word in edgewise. Not a chance. Serving them a meal would be a challenge.
FDR enjoyed mostly the childhood mush served him in his mother's home, and
that of the witch that terrorized the White House kitchen. Eleanor seemed
to have little interest in food, and was known gastronomically only by serving
huge portions of scrambled eggs always presented in a silver tureen. Lois
would set for them an elegant table, and I would select a wine in a corked
bottle . . . no screw caps for the Roosevelts!
As a conversationalist and correspondent you
are known for your sense of humor, "Beloved Island" has its charm, but comedy
it isn't, did you feel that a lighter tone would have been disrespectful?
Or did it just not fit the project?
I had thought of writing "Fun with Frank
& Ellie," but thought better of it. There's little funny about the
Roosevelts, neither was known to have a sparkling sense of humor. FDR constantly
regaled captive audiences with anecdotes, but guffaws never echoed from
the Oval Office. Eleanor was known to laugh at the humor of others, but
she was a chronically earnest person who had little time for much laughter.
Perhaps a scholar will one day study humor in the White House. I've heard
that William Henry Harrison (Tippecanoe) was a cut-up, and maybe Tyler too!
Beloved Island didn't really seem to call out for humor. It would not have
been a question of disrespect, it just wasn't there. Perhaps "Saturday
Night Live" could lampoon the Roosevelts, but it's a stretch.
Have you considered any writing projects that
would leave more room for humor?
You apparently have not yet read Mother....
Tell us about your latest project: "Mother
Wore a Helmet and Other Tales of Lasterday." Can you tease us with an excerpt?
I'll let you decide. Chapters on Mother, Dad's
Last at Bat, Smooching and Gimmee a "B" tug at the heart, What's
My Name and Who Said That are just for fun, Good Boy is introspective .
. . they're all gems. Your call. [editors note: I've requested the "Smooching"
Anything new cooking on the word processor?
Two more personal essays are being tooled. One
is an ode of sorts to my father, and the other has a working title of "I
Can't Sing any More." Lightweights both. On the more serious side,
I've done significant research for journal articles (or small books) on
Eleanor & Howe, and on the Bonus March of 1932. My Beloved publisher
has retired, and North Bay Books is a mighty slim operation. I've had articles
published in national and regional magazines, and that's a potential route.
Or, I may write only for my own amusement. Those who know me best are aware
that I'm my own best audience, although a highly discriminating one
You've written two books now, so clearly it
was no fluke, you're a REAL writer - any advice for aspiring scribblers?
And just what's so great about digital publishing anyway?
Although it is enormously helpful to have some skill, writing is an exercise
in personal communication. The trick is to find an audience, but the joy
is in the process. Whether it's research, story telling or reportage,
writing is merely chronicling a physical manifestation of a thought process,
invention or study. It will work on some level if it brings enjoyment
to its creator (or someone else). If it's tedious, it won't ever work.
The world is full of lousy books, and a few very good ones. The odds are
extremely long on financial success, but short on personal satisfaction.
As to digital publishing, it's an economically feasible way to create
short runs by printing only what you need (or are able to sell). Mother...
would not have seen the light of day any other way. By my own twisted
sense of justifiable criteria, it allowed me to make Mother...
a roaring success. You can hardly beat that!
[another note: I've asked Jonas to let me know how folks can order a
copy of his latest book, Mother Wore a Helmet, and other Tales of Lasterday....
I'll let you know when I know.]


Unlocking God's Design for the Sexes
As a pastor, I care about how men and women view themselves and how they relate to one another in marriage, in the workplace, and in friendships. God created us to serve a purpose as individuals and in each other’s lives. The principles in Keys of Truth are straight from God’s Word and are crucial for teaching us how to connect and relate to one another the way He designed us. They will also help us live with and honor our spouses in a godly way.
Keys of Truth is a phenomenal depiction of the distinct gender differences that allow us to function in our God-given roles. Cristie Penn gets straight to the heart of the matter when it comes to relationships and makes understanding them very simple, yet allows for significant introspection and reflection. These gender-specific communication concepts are essential for every person to be successful in any type of relationship. Keys of Truth is such a delight to read and makes applying these deep concepts simple and understandable. I love that Cristie’s heart is to see people walking freely in their true identity and as the best version of themselves. I will use this book with clients and in teaching students how to effectively counsel those they encounter, as well as in my own relationships. This is an excellent resource!
What a fascinating read! Cristie has so eloquently outlined the core variances between male and female and how these differences affect every relationship we have. This book will revolutionize the way you interact with the opposite gender and will have a profound impact on your relationships
Cristie Penn’s desire to see honor restored between men and women shines through. Her book attends to building successful relationships, and she has drawn a picture of how men and women can ‘dance,’ work, love, protect, collaborate and thrive together. In bringing her insight and understanding, she encourages the body of Christ in the practical keys of living in dignity, wisdom, and grace while partnering with one another.
Keys of Truth is a Holy Spirit–inspired lesson that will enlighten you, challenge you, and change you. Read it knowing it’s not too late to change. I’m thankful Cristie was obedient and allowed the Lord to use her to share truths that will help and heal. The life-changing keys in this book are straight out of God’s Word.
I first heard snippets of this message on the other side of the world while serving orphans with Cristie Penn in Zambia, Africa. My husband and I were struggling through some marriage issues, and Cristie spoke life to us. God has entrusted a powerful message to this mighty woman of God!
What a breath of fresh air Keys of Truth is. In a time when the world around us seems lost in confusion in relation to gender roles, this book brings clarity and hope. Keys of Truth is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply to our lives.
Hopeful and empowered. That’s how you’ll feel when you spend time reading Keys of Truth. If you take to heart these truths and use them, even some of them, your marriage, friendships, and even work relationships will be transformed. I commend Cristie for being authentic enough to listen to the Lord and then translate what she’s learned onto paper for all of our benefit!
My wife and I have been doing marriage counseling for the last 17 years, and the material in this book will definitely become a major part of our counseling going forward. Cristie has truly unlocked the keys of truth about men and women. Everyone interested in having a significant covenant relationship with his or her spouse will love this book.
I’ve known Cristie Penn for 10 years and have seen the love she has for people and the desire God’s given her to see men and women thrive in their relationships with one another. When I first heard her share about the keys of truth, I knew it was a fresh word that every man and woman across the globe needed to hear. As a pastor who’s been ministering to women for more than 25 years, I am so thankful she’s now put this information into a book for everyone to read.
As a product of an unsuccessful marriage and two relationships, Keys of Truth has given me stable, Christian-based guidance on how to understand a man. It has also shown me the art of maneuvering around my insecurities with men. This book has mesmerized me. I’ve read it over and over and each time a new enlightenment is revealed. I cannot put it down and want to keep it near me for quick reference. It’s a must read for every woman looking to have a successful and loving relationship, a manual for every marriage! Cristie was God inspired to reach women of all ages and backgrounds with words of encouragement for a better life. It has certainly moved and touched my soul, and I look forward to the day God gives me another opportunity to use what I’ve learned.
This book will certainly add Cristie Penn to the bibliographies in many books to come on the topic of biblical gender understanding. With creativity, she combines the wisdom of experience and the knowledge of valued research to equip men and women for more meaningful relationships. This is a book that you will not only read but will use for reference and recommendation frequently.
Passionate, determined, beautiful, humble, and full of compassion is how I would describe Cristie. I am not surprised about her desire to obey God’s calling to write Keys of Truth. This book offers powerful insight to people who are married, single, and engaged and those who are seeking a relationship according to God’s original design. This is an opportunity to rediscover and reposition your heart to unveil and reveal redemptive and practical truths about yourself and the majesty of God’s love to restore and heal relationships.
Today we face a crisis regarding the definition of marriage. Many have become confused and surrendered their dreams of one man and one woman for life to the lies and schemes of an enemy who wants to destroy biblical marriage. Now more than ever, we need strong mentors and clear voices that can communicate God’s plan and purpose for healthy marriages. In Keys of Truth: Unlocking God’s Design for the Sexes, Cristie Penn takes the discussion of gender to a new level. She serves as the master mentor, transparently sharing from her own life stories, offering keys to greater understanding of our identity in Christ and teaching us how to grow in our value and respect for the opposite sex. I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to communicate more effectively, love more deeply, and build a lifelong love affair with his or her spouse.
Keys of Truth offers new insights into the multifaceted challenge of communication between men and women. This message offers powerful lessons that will transform your relationships with the opposite sex and enhance your ability to communicate more effectively with both men and women.

A legend reborn
The story of the La palina brand of cigars
Back in the 19th century there was a young Ukrainian man who found his way to Chicago. He worked hard and lived the American dream starting as a cigar factory lector and moving up over time to a roller and then master blender. This man eventually opened his own cigar shop and had his own factory. He was Samuel Paley the grandfather of William (Bill) Paley owner of La Palina Cigars. During this year’s IPCPR I stopped at the La Palina booth to have a chat with Bill and boy did he take me on a journey. Every cigar has a story and every manufacturer has a dream. Bill Paley’s dream was to give a rebirth to the famed La Palina cigar line. Here is his story:
SP: Where did La Palina Start?
WP: Back in the 1800s my grandfather, Samuel Paley, arrived in the United States from the Ukraine, he found work in a local cigar factory as a lector. A lector is one who reads to newspapers, novels, and magazines to the cigar rollers in the factory. He eventually was promoted to a roller and then eventually master blender. My grandfather wanted to learn all he could about cigars. In 1896 he left the factory and opened his own shop and factory known as Congress Cigars.
SP: Why the name La Palina?
WP: The first cigar my grandfather sold was named La Paliina. It was named after my Grandmother Goldie Paley. The La Palina line of cigars was doing very well and by 1910 the Congress Cigar Company sold a million cigars which was the second largest in the country. By the 1920s my Grandfather relocated his family and the Congress Cigar Company to Philadelphia. My father William Paley Sr. graduated from the Wharton Business School and joined Congress Cigars as Vice President of Advertising. My father had a passion for advertising media and radio. He sponsored a radio show on a station in Philadelphia and called it the “La Palina Hour”. Eventually he purchased 5 stations in the Philadelphia area. Calling it the Columbia Broadcasting System or as we know today CBS.
SP: So cigars to radio?
WP: Yes, when my Grandfather retired in 1926, they sold the shares in Congress Cigars and my father continued on with CBS eventually selling it in the 1930s but staying on a member of the Board of Directors for CBS. The Congress Cigar Company changed hands and eventually died off including the La Palina.
SP: What got you back to your roots?
WP: I was exploring my family history and decided since I love the finer things in life, I would revive the La Palina brand. I was determined to create a cigar emblematic of my Grandfathers La Palina. In 2008 I bought back the La Palina name and started the journey. I worked with some of the best in the industry, like Willie Herrera and I looked for the best source of tobaccos, blenders, and rollers. The result was a top 25 cigar 5 years running.
SP: Tell us about your newest Black Label Line
WP: The Black Label is a rich blend with a complex flavor. It has a double binder and filler each made from Dominican and Nicaragua tobacco. The wrapper is from Brazil.
As we were closing out the interview, Cigar and Spirits magazine come over to present Bill and LA Palina Cigars the 2013 trophy for best Cigar of the Year.

War, Economic and Political Reform in Marco Polo’s Venice
Marco Polo was born in 1254 and was part of a rich merchant family who held positions in the Grand Council which epitomised the high position they held in Venetian society during the 12th and 13th Centuries.
There has been an emphasis to discuss his achievements of exploration into the unknown lands of the orient between 1271 and 1295 and how this helped enrich the Venetian Republic during the 14th Century. However, the focus of this article will focus more on the impact on political reforms that took place during Marco Polo’s lifetime which also helped the Venetians become one of the most powerful city-states in Italy. It will also focus on Marco Polo’s role in the war between Venice and Genoa who were rival city-states who were intent on building a maritime Empire and how he was taken prisoner. It was while he was in prison that he told the story of his travels in which he write later on in 1295.
This will be exemplified by the impact of political changes that took place within the Republic of Venice during the lifetime of Marco Polo. For example the gradual change from the dominance of the Great Council into an oligarchy during the time of Marco Polo’s Venice which became stable and efficient in its governance and a system that was envied by the other mainland Italian states. During Marco Polo’s time in prison, Doge ‘Pieruzzo’ Gradenigo and his supporters finally established heredity as the only qualification for membership of the Grand Council and its members increased from less than 400 in 1295 to over 1000 by 1311.
Venice also continued its rise as a major player in international trade especially with the East, through the Polo family’s relationship with the ruling elite of the Mongol Empire.
Also the power and influence they had over trade within Constantinople made the Venetian merchant class very rich.
The political reforms and the rise of Venice as a major player in international trade in Marco Polo’s era culminated in the rise of a merchant oligarchy that dominated its political system throughout the early modern period.
The major political rival to Venice’s power and influence in Eastern Europe was the Republic of Genoa who has a similar political system and like Venice wanting a maritime Empire. This war had a major effect on Marco Polo who supplied ships for the Venetian and his high position in the Great Council was an important factor in supply the Venetian navy in its war against Genoa. During the war, Marco Polo was taken prisoner by the Genoese during their victories in either the battle of Curzola or the earlier victory at Ajas, and the victories of the Venetians in Eastern Europe epitomised the sea-sawing nature of the war.
Marco Polo was a prisoner until May 1299 when a truce was mediated with Genoa in which Marco Polo was released.
The war against Genoa continued on and off until the final victory of Venice at the end of the 14th Century which is considered as the beginning of the early modern period.

Over the two centuries since his appointment, commentators have been as surprised at the choice of Arthur Phillip as some were at the time (the First Lord of the Admiralty, to mention only the most distinguished critic). But was it really so surprising? What did the Home Office and the Admiralty expect of a man who was to navigate a fleet to the antipodes, and when he got it there unload its cargo of unregenerate criminals and forge them into some sort of a working colony? Apart from the necessary seamanship, they needed a man with a cool head who understood men and how to control them, a man capable of governing himself, possessed of calm and understanding and a thorough grasp of reality, with complete loyalty to the Crown and Government and a determination to plan and carry through an enterprise unlike any other within living memory. Fortunately, there were one or two men at the Admiralty who understood that Arthur Phillip possessed all these credentials. This new biography covers Phillips whole life, but has a particular focus on his selection for the role of Governor, the preparation of the first fleet, the journey from England, the establishment of the colony and Phillips governorship.

GM LS-series engines are some of the most powerful, versatile, and popular V-8 engines ever produced. They deliver exceptional torque and abundant horsepower, are in ample supply, and have a massive range of aftermarket parts available. Some of the LS engines produce about 1 horsepower per cubic inch in stock form--that's serious performance. One of the most common ways to produce even more horsepower is through forced air induction--supercharging or turbocharging. Right-sized superchargers and turbochargers and relatively easy tuning have grown to make supercharging or turbocharging an LS-powered vehicle a comparatively simple yet highly effective method of generating a dramatic increase in power. In the revised edition of How to Supercharge & Turbocharge GM LS-Series Engines, supercharger and turbocharger design and operation are covered in detail, so the reader has a solid understanding of each system and can select the best system for his or her budget, engine, and application. The attributes of Roots-type and centrifugal-type superchargers as well as turbochargers are extensively discussed to establish a solid base of knowledge. Benefits and drawbacks of each system as well as the impact of systems on the vehicle are explained. Also covered in detail are the installation challenges, necessary tools, and the time required to do the job. Once the system has been installed, the book covers tuning, maintenance, and how to avoid detonation so the engine stays healthy. Cathedral, square, and D-shaped port design heads are explained in terms of performance, as well as strength and reliability of the rotating assembly, block, and other components. Finally, Kluczyk explains how to adjust the electronic management system to accommodate a supercharger or turbocharger. How to Supercharge and Turbocharge GM LS-Series Engines is the only book on the market specifically dedicated to forced air induction for LS-series engines. It provides exceptional guidance on the wide range of systems and kits available for arguably the most popular modern V-8 on the market today.

About the Library
The Library of JTS is one of the greatest Judaic studies libraries in the world. In addition to its 400,000 circulating volumes, the Library has an exceptional collection of rare materials, including the world’s largest collection of Hebrew manuscripts, 43,000 fragments from the Cairo Genizah, extensive archives, and much more.
The Library of JTS serves JTS students and faculty, as well as scholars and researchers around the world. Whatever your position or interest, we are happy to serve you.
History of the Library
Founded in 1893, the nucleus of the Library was formed by contributions from outstanding private collectors and philanthropists, including Cyrus Adler, Mortimer L. Schiff, Felix Warburg, Louis Marshall, Mayer Sulzberger, Elkan Nathan Adler, and Hyman G. Enelow.
Alexander Marx, who served as chief librarian for 50 years (1903–1953), was responsible in large part for collecting the material and making it available to readers. His devoted leadership created what is recognized today as the greatest Jewish library in the Western Hemisphere.
In the 1930s, recognizing that European Jewry was threatened and that America offered Jews and Judaism a place to grow, the Library made its goal to become the National Museum of the Jewish Book. It adopted a policy of collecting and preserving the totality of the Jewish cultural experience. The books that were acquired during this period remain in the Library’s collections. The Library’s objects became the foundation of New York’s Jewish Museum.
The Library suffered a disastrous fire on April 18, 1966. The fire occurred on the upper floors of the Library tower, where most of the books were housed. Seventy thousand volumes were destroyed, and every other book in the tower was damaged by fire, smoke, or water. Fortunately, rare books and manuscripts were kept in another area and were spared the damage.
Thanks to the exceptional leadership of Seminary Librarian, Professor Menahem Schmelzer, service to readers was resumed in September 1966. A temporary, prefabricated building was erected to hold some of the books, while others were housed in a warehouse at a distance from the campus. The staff struggled in these improvised quarters until July 5, 1983, when a new building was completed and opened to the public. This facility served the JTS community and the public until the summer of 2015.
On September 1, 2015, the Library opened in temporary quarters on JTS’s campus, anticipating the construction of a new and much improved Library for the 21st century. As libraries, services, and technologies have changed, so has the JTS Library. Despite challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, the new Library opened in 2021—and its new Rare Book Room and exhibition gallery in 2022—providing access to users far and wide. The new Library is an active hub for classes, researchers, tour groups, and many more, all while protecting and preserving the rare gems in its collection.

Prince of Jerusalem
The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Degrees of Scottish Rite Masonry are sometimes referred to as the historical degrees and constitute an allegorical narrative presenting the story of a captive people who “wept beside the rivers of Babylon.” When liberated they were consecrated to the task of building the second temple or rather of rebuilding the original temple of Solomon. The entire pageantry and symbolism of Freemasonry revolves around the construction of the four temples of Jahweh, by a brotherhood dedicated to the erection of a perfect edifice at Jerusalem and later to building a temple in the hearts of men. Contrasted with the hauteur of imperious monarchs is humility of the little group of those born to bondage pleading for the redress of an ancient wrong. The lessons in the fifteenth and Sixteenth Degrees are from these elements of the historical drama which transpired during the reigns of the Great Kings, Cyrus and Darius. The Dispensation for Zerubbabel Council Princes of Jerusalem was granted on July 19, 1909 and the Charter was received from the Supreme Council, A.A.S.R., N.M.J. on September 22, 1910.


Coincidences are funny old things; a few are amazing, some are funny or not so funny and most are really insignificant and barely flutter a synapse in passing. There are some, however, that open up dusty, cobwebby passageways to memories long locked away for one reason or another or simply lost in the mists of time.
Anyway, back to the present and my little string of coincidences. A few weeks back I was reading the psychedelic ramblings of a certain blogger whose story weaving skills I thoroughly enjoy. She was writing about soldiers tales and mentioned the title of a book about her grandfather who had emigrated to New England but returned to Scotland and enlisted at the outbreak of WW1. The book was titled ‘A Tale of Two Captains’ and had been co-written by her uncle. Curious, I searched out the book on my favorite independent second-hand booksellers site, learned a little about the leading characters and their connection with The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). I can’t tell you exactly what it was but something ‘Cameronians’ clicked in the archive department way down in the basement of what passes for my brain these days. I saw that one copy was signed by the author and, although a tad more expensive, on impulse bought it. Meanwhile, I emailed my blogger friend and was made privy to some family history and political matters that have no place here – they did, however, help to pad out the picture.
Today my book arrived.
On the cover are old photos of the two captains in question – one of them clearly displays a belt and cross-belt with the distinctive badge of the The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). That name again! I couldn’t pin it down. Then I opened the book and inside, signed by the author was written ‘For General John and Jean Frost, with every good wish’, and the penny dropped.
I’d joined the Paras less than 20 years after the end of WW2; John Frost was a living legend to everyone associated with the regiment. The Commanding Officer of 2 Para (2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment), Frost and his 747 men were the only unit to succeed in reaching the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem during Montgomery’s ill-conceived Operation Market Garden. Their task was to hold the bridge for 48 hours until relieved by the British armoured column led by XXX Corps. That relief never arrived!
Frost and his men were surrounded by the German 2nd SS Panzer Corps, all veterans of the Eastern Front, and what followed was described to me by a survivor (still serving when I joined) as an ‘abattoir’. Eventually the survivors ran out of ammunition – there were less than 100, including a wounded John Frost. The 9000 strong British 1st Airborne Division, of which 2 Para had been a part, existed in name only, some units were wiped out. Five Victoria Crosses were awarded for actions during what became known as the Battle of Arnhem. In 1978 the Dutch re-named the bridge ‘John Frost Bridge’ (he was not amused but eventually was persuaded to go along with it) to commemorate the stand by 2 Para.
As a young parachute soldier I was required to learn the history and personalities of this time inside-out and backwards, and here’s the murky memory, the coincidental link – John Frost’s parent regiment was The Cameronians!
So, there you have it – The Cameronians – two captains – a book – John Frost – the Paras – Arnhem – New England – blogging – a blogger (with more going on in her head than most of us can imagine). A little row of little coincidences that led to the bubbling up of loads of dusty memories – ‘old soldiers never die, we just get boring!

Dad! Listen to me! I can read!" It's one of the most triumphant moments
for any child--and any parent.
Now, of course, your new little
reader wants to practice all the time. When children start reading, it
takes time for their reading vocabulary to match their spoken vocabulary.
They need books with easily recognizable words to encourage their sense of
achievement. They need simple sentences. Because they can't yet keep track
of complicated thoughts on paper--even though they may speak and
understand long, complex sentences. And finally, children also need some
words they don't know already, to challenge them to further efforts.
Stories with these elements draw children into reading independently.
Richard Scarry’s Best Read-It-Yourself Book Ever provides all
these things. The vocabulary is carefully chosen and monitored to blend
familiarity with challenge. Simple sentences, with a few complex ones
mixed in, make reading easy and interesting for all children, whether they
are getting ready to read, are beginning to read, or are already reading
on their own.
Yet reading involves more than just words and
sentences, and Richard Scarry's Best Read-It-Yourself Book Ever is far
more than that. Richard Scarry's humorous characters, situations, and art
come to life for children. They'll pick up this book over and over again
to follow Smokey the Fireman's adventures with Katie Kitty. They'll enjoy
Sniff the Detective's mystery-solving abilities and laugh with Harry and
Larry the Fishermen as they struggle to get dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Dr.
Doctor juggle their parenting and their careers, as so many real parents
must. Children will wonder just what Frances Fix-It is going to repair
next, and they'll love Farmer Patrick Pig's predicaments.
Lively, interesting characters and situations combined with ease of
reading and a bit of challenge are irresistible to young readers. Your
child will return to these stories until every word had been mastered-and
after that, too, for the pleasure and comfort of familiar old friends. In
the end, that's what Richard Scarry’s Best Read-It- Yourself Book Ever
will become: a beloved old friend.

Hello, World是由 Brian Kernighan 创建的。1978年，Brian Kernighan写了一本名叫《C程序设计语言》的编程书，在程序员中广为流传。他在这本书中第一次引用的Hello World程序，源自他在1973年编写的一部讲授 B语言的编程教程：
Hello, world was created by Brian Kernighan. In 1978, Brian Kernighan wrote a programming book called C programming language, which was widely circulated among programmers. The Hello world program he first quoted in this book comes from a programming course for teaching B language written by him in 1973:
putchar (a); putchar (b); putchar (c); putchar ('!*n');
putchar (a); putchar (b); putchar (c); putchar ('!* n');
b 'o, w';
b 'o, w';
但是非常不幸的是，当 Forbes India 杂志采访他的时候，他自己对这段传奇故事中一些记忆已经有点儿模糊了。
But unfortunately, when Forbes India magazine interviewed him, some of his own memories of this legend were a little blurred.
当他被问及为什么选择『Hello, World!』时，他回答说，『我只记得，我好像看过一幅漫画，讲述一枚鸡蛋和一只小鸡的故事，在那副漫画中，小鸡说了一句‘Hello World’』。
When asked why he chose "Hello, world!" He replied, "I only remember that I seem to have seen a cartoon telling the story of an egg and a chicken. In that cartoon, the chicken said 'hello world'".
Given the widespread popularity of the computer program Hello world, this cause seems quite appropriate.
那个时候，无论是 Kernighan，还是他的同事 Dennis Ritchie - C语言之父，都无法想象C语言以及这本教程书将会在今天如此之流行。
At that time, neither Kernighan nor his colleague Dennis Ritchie - the father of C language could imagine that C language and this tutorial book would be so popular today.
Their work was just a research project of Bell Labs, which was only a technical research and development organization of at & T at that time.
尽管没人能够科学地解释为什么Hello World如此地流行，但是，Hello, World程序的确在计算机发展历史上成为了一个具有重要意义的里程碑。我们一起来回顾一下当时的历史环境。
Although no one can scientifically explain why Hello world is so popular, Hello, world program has indeed become an important milestone in the history of computer development. Let's review the historical environment at that time.
Change in infancy
It may be hard for you to imagine now, but before Hello world and Kernighan's programming book were published, computers almost implied a negative meaning to the public.
In the 1970s, computers in the mainframe era not only ran slowly and bulky enough to occupy an entire room, but also needed a full-time scientist or researcher to maintain it.
In fact, before the late 1970s, computer scientists used a lot of punch cards when programming!

Is Rizal an American Made Hero?
The rationale for naming Rizal as the Filipinos’ national hero by the American administration was articulated by US Governor General W.
Cameron Forbes in his book, “The Philippine Islands,” also cited by Constantino.
But in truth it was the Filipinos and not the Americans who first chose Rizal as their national hero..
How come that there was a term mestizo?
Etymology. The Spanish word mestizo is from Latin mixticius, meaning mixed. Its usage was documented as early as 1275, to refer to the offspring of an Egyptian/Afro/Hamite and a Semite/Afro Asiatic. This term was first documented in English in 1582.
Is Jose Rizal a Chinese?
José Rizal was born in 1861 to Francisco Rizal Mercado y Alejandro and Teodora Alonso Realonda y Quintos in the town of Calamba in Laguna province. … On his mother’s side, Rizal’s ancestry included Chinese, Japanese and Tagalog blood.
What are mestizos in Philippines?
In the Philippines, Filipino mestizo or colloquially tisoy, are people of mixed Filipino and any foreign ancestry. The word mestizo itself is of Spanish origin; it was first used in the Americas to describe only people of mixed Native American and European ancestry.
Why did the Chinese migrate to the Philippines?
Most of the Chinese who opted to settle in the Philippines came from the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong in Southern China (Guldin 1980). They sought refuge in the islands because of the economic and political hardships in their own land.
When did the Spaniards colonized the Philippines?
1521The Philippines were claimed in the name of Spain in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, who named the islands after King Philip II of Spain. They were then called Las Felipinas.
What made Jose Rizal the greatest Filipino hero?
José Rizal (1861-1896) is one of the most revered figures in Philippine history. He was a multifaceted intellectual and a political activist, best known for his political writings that inspired the Philippine revolution and ultimately led to his execution by the Spanish colonizers.
When was Manila open to foreign merchants almost without restriction?
1830sImportant as a stimulus to trade was the gradual elimination of the monopoly enjoyed by the galleon to Acapulco. The last galleon arrived in Manila in 1815, and by the mid-1830s Manila was open to foreign merchants almost without restriction.
What were Rizal’s greatest and weakest attributes?
In your point of view, what were Rizal’s greatest and weakest attributes? Greatest: His devotion to his country. Weakest: He chose not to join the revolution.
Are Filipino Chinese?
Chinese Filipinos, often referred to as Filipino Chinese (and in Filipino as Pilipinong Tsino, Tsinoy, [tʃɪnoɪ] or Pilipinong Intsik, [ɪntʃɪk]), are Filipino citizens of Chinese descent, mostly born and raised in the Philippines. Chinese Filipinos are one of the largest overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia.
When Did Chinese came to Philippines?
The world’s first Chinatown was established in the Philippine capital Manila in 1594. Manila, Philippines – In 1861, a villager from the Chinese province of Fujian, sailed across South China Sea to start a new life in the Spanish colony of the Philippines.
What conditions led to the emergence of Chinese mestizos as important members of Philippine society?
in the market industry, the other conditions that made the Chinese mestizos important in the Philippine society was their formation of Filipino identity. This event occurred latter part of the 19thcentury when the Chinese mestizos started giving opinions regarding the Spanish colonial rule.

Hell isn’t fire and brimstone. It’s the monsters lurking in your soul.
Dahlia ‘Daa’ Brewer’s entire life had been laid out for her. As one-half of the famous identical Brewer twins, she was dubbed the Perfect Twin. A title she never wanted, but one she felt obligated to live up to. She was the perfect daughter. The loyal sister. The devoted fiancée.
To the world, it was the perfect life. To Dahlia, it was the perfect façade.
However, that illusion shatters when the ultimate betrayal sends her life crashing down around her. Picking up the pieces, Dahlia vows to live her life on her terms — without regret.
Clark “David” Holcomb is a walking contradiction. Cruel, yet compassionate. Powerful, yet gentle. Arrogant, yet humble. And from the moment he set his eyes on her, he wants her — come hell or high water.
But when what was purely physical turns into something neither of them bargained for, he wonders if he made a mistake.
He is everything she wants but couldn’t have. She is everything he needs but shouldn’t want. They were playing with hell, and the monsters were ready to pounce — but hell had never felt so good, and neither wanted to stop.
They both hold secrets that can destroy. Dangerous secrets. Deadly secrets. And when they collide, it won’t be a matter of if they can come out unscathed — but if they can survive at all.
Note: This book can be read as a STANDALONE in the Sin and Sinuosity series.

What the fuck is Vue?
Vue or VueJS is classified as a reactive library. Most other tools and libraries required you to proactively change the user interface when data changes. Vue, and other reactive libraries, “react” to data changes and update the interface automatically.
There are a number of reactive type libraries and frameworks available (like Angular and React). Vue is sort of a middle child between React and Angular. It has more configuration and less flexibility than React, but is not as rigid in configuration and usage as Angular. This tightened way of doing things allows programmers to spend less time reinventing the wheel and more time focusing on improving the core library. Oh, and where Angular and React are created and managed by big companies (“The Man”), Vue is a community-driven project.
Vue is often used with, but not limited to, open source projects. (That sounds like something a fucken lawyer would have wrote.) Similar to React, Vue has spawned a number of side projects that allow a programmer to program with Vue but create other products besides browser-based interfaces.


TCLP libraries host an ever-growing membership in excess of 4000 readers & thinkers.
Membership starts from 4 years and is organized into 4 groups :
Non-adult members can borrow 1 book each circulation day while adults can borrow 2 books. Non adult members can start borrowing 2 books on circulation days once they enter the 200 Book Club.
Circulation Desk: All Are Welcome
The circulation desk is a welcoming space that embodies pyaar se. It is a judgement-free zone where all are welcome to interact with library staff and library leaders, seek suggestions about books and gather information about library activities.
This is where librarians learn the most about our members and their likes and dislikes. It’s a great place to build a new reader’s confidence as they grow stronger with every book. It is also a wonderful interface to encourage readers to try something different or get to the next level in their reading journeys.
Open Shelf Policy
We have an open-shelf policy, where members are free to walk in and pick a book of their choice from open shelves and boxes.
Any member can read, browse and issue any book of their choosing (except reference books, which are for reading in the library only). Librarians can recommend but the choice is left to the member.
TCLP's Honour Roll
The Honour Roll celebrates reading milestones of each TCLP member.
The first 10 books read and returned mark their entry on the Honour Roll board. They get a star against their name, a new book to keep forever and a packet of chocolate cookies as encouragement.
For every 10 books read and returned thereafter, a star is added to their name. At 40 books, they recieve another reward of a new book to keep forever.
At 80 books, the member can choose to read and review 20 books in the Book Report Clinic. At the end of their Book Report journey, they have read, returned and thought about 100 books. They now gain entry into the 100 Book Club and then the 200 Book Club.
TCLP has found this to be an exceptional practice to boost first-generation school-goers in their reading journeys. After 100 books, they are well on their way to becoming independent readers and thinkers.
Lost or Damaged Books
At TCLP we encourage children to care for library books in a safe and trusted environment, where a sense of ownership, rather than punitive damages, is the key. When a book is lost or torn, members make good by assisting in the work of librarians, volunteers and Student Council members.
‘Repair Tuesdays’ are when members come in for 2-3 hours to help us mend books, bring order to shelves and learn how to handle books in a more careful manner. This practice makes them more caring of books and reiterates their sense of belonging to the library. It reinforces responsibility, without instilling fear.
All TCLP libraries use the automated circulation platform provided by KOHA. Automation increases the speed & efficiency of the circulation desk, allowing us to track our daily circulation statistics as well as other member data. Circulation statistics give us insight into the child's growth as a reader, his or her book choices , number of books read and makes it easier to track books or catalogue them.
Our objective at The Community Library Project is to encourage free thinking and questioning in the minds of young readers through easy access to books and magazines. We provide a safe, comfortable and beautiful space for them to connect with books and one other.

“The European Correspondence to Jacob Burckhardt” led by Prof. Ghelardi at the Scuola Normale Superiore is one of the finalists of the Digital Humanities Awards 2015, Best DH Data Visualization section. Voting closes on Saturday, February 27.
The Digital Humanities Awards are annual prizes in the field of Digital Humanities, organised by an international committee chaired by James Cummings, University of Oxford. This year the finalists of the Best DH Data Visualization section counts also the project “The European Correspondence to Jacob Burckhardt” led by Maurizio Ghelardi at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The winners, chosen by the public through online vote, will be announced after the voting deadline (February 27).
The platform “burckhardtsource.org”, final outcome of prof. Ghelardi’s and his team’s work, is a Digital Library collecting the entire corpus of the letters to Jacob Burckhardt, i.e. approximately 1100 manuscripts. The semantic Digital Library conceived and developed by the EUROCORR ERC Advanced Grant Project provides access to an extremely remarkable correspondence of the XIX Century. Jacob Burckhardt has been one of the most important historians of the century: critical spirit, he developed an autonomous historiographical approach, known as Kulturgeschichte (history of civilization), intended to reconcile the various dimensions of the political-historical, spiritual and cultural phenomenon within a single framework. His most important works were dedicated to the analysis of critical periods or important transitions, including the now classic The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy. The correspondence collected on the platform covers a time span from 1843 to 1897, a crucial period in European history and culture, marked by serious civil conflicts in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, as well as by the Franco-Prussian War and the birth of Italy and Germany as nation-states. The archive therefore represents a valuable source shedding light on the birth of a new European identity and testifies how intense the exchanges within the scientific community of the time were, particularly among historians and Burckhardt.
The platform is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Access to the letters is guaranteed both by the metadata search, t.i. through year, sender, departure and arrival place, but also by semantic contents, sorted by people, places, art and bibliographic references. The section ‘Collections’ suggests a thematic navigation through the digital library. Eventually, a special section is dedicated to the Highlights, pointing out particularly relevant letters, while the “Metadata” share offers a large number of information about the letter context. So far, 700 letters are visible, while others will be added periodically: indeed, the remaining letters will be published once every two weeks.

A History of the Atkins – Paynter and Allied Families
Researched by R. MILTON AND LUCY W. ATKINS
Written by R. MILTON ATKINS
(From 1980 to 1989)
I can remember, many years ago, my grandmother, Adelia Jackson Paynter Atkins, taking me on her lap and telling me stories. Her favorite beginning: was, “A LONG TIME AGO”. It is to her memory that I dedicate this book.
Researching the Atkins family and its numerous branches has been very time consuming and tedious undertaking but, at the same time, a most rewarding experience. It all began in 1980. With a total lack of family records, handed down from one generation to the next, it was begun with an absolute blank. I had previously talked with my father, Rev. Robert A. Atkins, before his death in 1977, at which time I asked if he would, as he could recall, make notes of anything he could remember concerning the older members of the family. All he knew was that his grandfather was called Pat and that his grandmother was known as Pliny. He thought she was Pliny Watkins. This we later found to be incorrect. We definitely know she was Paulina (Pliny) Lawson. This lack of information made me more determined than ever to solve the mystery of who we were and where we came from.
Knowing that before Joseph Henry Atkins moved his family to Richmond in 1912. Mecklenburg County, we began to retrace the Atkins footsteps. What we were able to learn in Mecklenburg County led us over into Charlotte County. Charlotte County records proved to be a goldmine of information. It was at this point that we decided to follow wherever the trail led. This meant following the trail from Charlotte County to the counties of Amelia, King and Queen, Gloucester, Charles River (York County) and eventually James City County and Jamestown itself.
Only after we had gotten into our research did we realize how ill-prepared we were in “know how” for the job that lay ahead. As a result we entered into a learning process which entailed the study of old laws, legal terminology, the use of unfamiliar words and phrases used in the early days of Virginia, as well as how to find and use old court records. Some of the difficulties we encountered were the lack of some records in all counties, and in the case of “The five burned counties” (New Kent, William, King and Queen, Hanover and Caroline) there were very few records prior to 1864, all early records having been destroyed during the Civil War. Therefore, in these counties we had to rely on Minister’s marriage, death and baptismal records.
Then we discovered other problems: There were no official requirements for marriage, birth and death records prior to 1853. Census records did not give names other than that of the person giving the information, before the 1850 census. In very early wills the first son was considered the lawful heir, therefore, names of other children were often omitted. Very often the wife’s name was not used, only to be referred to as “my wife”. Therefore, it was necessary to reconstruct families from wills, deeds and other court records involving other members of the family. We often found names of members of our family by studying other family lines. Early ship passenger lists were used. Hundreds of books were searched for the slightest clue. Old church cemeteries were also visited.
As a result of this research the various branches of the family began to emerge and fall into place. When we had finished, we had traveled approximately sixty thousand miles here in Virginia and North Carolina. Searched the records in forty-three counties, returning to as many as ten or twelve times, and spent seventy or more days at the Virginia Historical Society Library and the State Library in Richmond. Not only have we searched for our family lines, but, in addition, have located the lands they owned and many of the houses they lived in, as well as the graves in which they were buried. One of the greatest rewards was being able to personally visit many of these places.
Along the way we discovered many relatives we never knew existed. The real delight was in meeting these people, visiting in their homes and forming new family ties.
In all, there have been twenty-eight branches of the family researched. Each will be dealt with in separate chapters. All came into the Colony in the very early stages of it’s formation. Many were actively involved in this formation. In a letter from John Rolfe to the King in 1615/1616 are found listed as among the first families of Virginia, the names of Atkins, Myrick, Rivers and Graves. Not included in this letter, but according to record, the Yeardleys, Buckes and Lawsons were also here. All of these were in our direct family lines.
The early colonists endured many hardships. In 1609 a group of nine ships, which made up the third supply, sailed from England. They were caught in a terrific storm at sea. Some ships were lost. One, the Sea Venture, was so badly battered by the heavy seas that it ran aground on the reefs of the Bermuda Islands. Ten months later, after having converted the material salvaged from this ship to two smaller ships, it’s passengers finally reached Jamestown. While waiting for the third supply to arrive, this period became known as “the starving time”. The settler’s crops had been poor. The Indians were a constant threat. Disease was prevalent. In some instances some of the settlers had resorted to cannibalism.
This was not the only trying time the colonists experienced. It is said, that from the time the first ships left England in December of 1606, to February of 1624, that out of a total of 7,298 immigrants to Virginia, 6,040 had succumbed, or six died for every one that lived. There were only 1249 persons left in 1624. As late as 1633 it is estimated that only twenty percent of new arrivals survived the first year.
In may of 1610, when the third supply finally reached the mouth of the James River, the small band of colonists had abandoned Jamestown and were headed back to England on crude ships they had built. Upon meeting this group of ships, laden with new supplies, they returned to Jamestown with new hope and determination, never to turn back again.
From the time the first settlers landed at Jamestown in 1607 the threat of the Indians had been constant. Because of their treachery, the colonists had to be continually on guard. The leader of the colony did much to educate and convert the Indians to Christianity. One of the leaders of this movement was George Thorpe, one of our direct ancestors. For awhile it appeared the Indians were accepting this new-found peace. They worked closely with the settlers, showing their friendship in many ways. Feeling safe, the Indians were allowed to roam freely about the plantations and villages, such as Jamestown and Berkley Hundred, often sharing meals in the white settler’s homes.
Then on Good Friday. March 22, 1622, tragedy struck again. This was the day of the great Indian massacre. In many instances seemingly friendly Indians, in the act of eating breakfast with the colonists, suddenly rose up, with table knives, kitchen utensils, the settler’s own guns, or anything else they could lay their hands on, murdered men, women and children as they ate. Before the massacre, there were only 1240 people living in Virginia. Of these, 347 were killed, leaving only 893. At least six of those killed were our ancestors. It is possible there were more but these are all we have been able to find record of. These six are named in section three in military records. For awhile, after the massacre, peace prevailed once more.
In 1644 another massacre occurred. This time it was centered on the next peninsula to the north in the present counties of Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex. There had been settlers on the north side of the York River for some time but after the massacre, they were moved to safer areas. Only after 1649 was it safe to renew the settlement of this area.
Our ancestors, having survived the hardships and playing the part they did in the formation of this country, have left us a heritage of which we can be justly proud. The chapters which follow, of the various lines of our family will give, in detail, the place each member occupied and the part they had in the total story.
Until we began this research, I had no special feeling about our family. It was as if our particular segment of society was just drifting around in space. A feeling of being unattached, living in our own small world. After losing yourself, which you actually do, in the hours upon hours of research and study, the miles of travel, the searching through records dealing with the intimate parts of their lives, discovering and talking with members of the various branches, you come to feel that you know each person mentioned in this history personally. When you walk on the soil they tended, visited the houses in which they lived and even stood beside the graves in which they were buried, over three hundred years ago, a feeling of awe surrounds you. Such was the experience of looking down upon the tomb of George Yeardley in the church at Jamestown, or standing beside the graves of Patrick Atkins, Paulina his wife and Dosha his mother, in the little cemetery at Mt. Auburn Church. It gives one a feeling that is indescribable. A feeling of attachment, of belonging. There is no better way of describing such feeling than to use the one word, “Roots”.
Every effort has been made to bring to the reader a true and accurate account of the history of the Atkins and related families. It has been our policy, from the very beginning of our research, not to accept anything which could not be proved. Information on numerous other branches of the family has been discarded due to the lack of recorded and sufficient proof. Any discrepancies which may be found in this writing would be due to errors in the records we searched or in previously published accounts concerning the various branches of the family. Several mistakes have been discovered and corrected as a result of our research.
This book will be divided into three sections. Using the marriage of Joseph Henry Atkins and Adelia Paynter as the dividing point. Section ONE will deal with the Atkins side and its branches. Section TWO will be devoted to the Paynter side. This has been done in order to make it less confusing to the reader in the event they are interested in only one side of the family.
After our research was completed, certain groups of statistics began to emerge. They are included in the individual family lines. However, it is easy to overlook them as you go from one line to another. We felt it would be more interesting and meaningful if they were grouped in one separate category. These will be presented in Section THREE.
NOTE – The wording, in some instances, as well as the spelling, throughout this book, may seem to be incorrect. However, it is purposely being used in this writing just as it appeared in the original documents, or of the time this information was written.

The Context of The Philadelphia Negro: Du Bois in his collection of essays, The Souls of Black Folk, which is a seminal work in African American literature, speaks about his perspectives on the effects of racism and addresses the problem of institutionalized racism as a veil which has segregated the Blacks from the Whites like a wall and has prevented the human nature of the Blacks to be seen by the Whites.
An example would be when Tom Robinson was taken to court he was still put in jail even though he was not guilt of doing anything.
The prominence are always much likely to work better as a community without having to have outcasts with them. It is basically because there are some things that adults can do and that children cant do and there are somethings that children can do but adults can.
She is the first African American admitted to the state school. Bringing Lorraine Hansberry into the subject, she did not relate as many people into her story as Lee did. Although both stories are fictional, they are very if not completely realistic because they relate to things that happened in real life and people that lived in real life.
Blacks, indeed, wants to eradicate their inferiority to the Whites and be as equal as them. This judge went against public sentiment in trying to protect the rights of the African American defendants.
Therefore, Cultural, social, and racial superiority has been a kind of instrument to oppress the inferiors. Calpurnia, who is a Negro, trains the children kindly or even fight with them when they do something wrong. It happens in the state of Alabama in a fictional town named Maycomb, where its people are racist, selfish, and fanatic.
Calpurnia has grown up among the Whites since her childhood, but she was still a Black who lives with them too. She is six years old when the Scottsboro trials are widely covered in national, state and local newspapers. To begin to understand this time of racial separation, you will embark on a WebQuest.

In the book, Tom is charged with rape but was very innocent. In the trial of the harmless Tom Robinson, the white people in the jury have power over the black man, and choose to exercise their power poorly, declaring him guilty simply because he is black.
