Good Lord, this has been forever since I've written an update. Oh well, as I said last time, there's nothing that poignant or relatively memorable to mention lately. I finished up my submissions and editing and judging on submissions duties for my school's lit magazine. I have a handful of stories I sent in (yes, I voted for myself) and a couple of book reviews. Even if one story gets added to this Spring/Summer edition, that will be one small step for my writing kind. At least I got everythi
How much did Churchill make?
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 02:50:53 -0700
Churchill received a military education. When he was in the army he found out that his pay was not enough to maintain himself and his horses. He was extremely well connected but not rich. He had been working on a book, and his connections allowed him to be attached to the British military as a war correspondent. He was caught and interned, and suddenly he became famous because he escaped from prison and rode to safety by boarding a cargo train and hiding under the potato bags. A reward

Politics and poetics of Romanticism
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 02:49:38 -0700
The era of Romanticism brought with it the mingling of politics and poetics in a way that was unprecedented. This paper aims to trace the significant changes of this era in the social and political arena and how they affected the works of the romantic poets mainly Percy Shelley and William Wordsworth. In the romantic poets Shelley and Keats sought beauty, Byron sought exotic glory and adventure, Wordsworth tried to express a love of nature and Blake railed against the establishment. The

More Opening Pages
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 02:44:31 -0700
Every speaker addressed the topic of opening pages in provocative, engaging, and always thought-provoking ways. Arthur A. Levine talked about essential knowledge, taking us through his gaining of it via certain opening pages of his life. He talked of being asked what he wanted most. And what Arthur realized he wanted most was to be understood. I’m still thinking about what I want most. Fellow Newbery Committee members Kathy Isaacs and Martha Parravano and I did a session on the award, focusi
Ghatothkacha - As seen by Bhasa
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 02:36:02 -0700
O father, who is this? His eyes are like planets! His chest is fleshy and broad, his hair is tawny gold, he is wearing a broad silk cloth, his complexion is that of dense darkness, white teeth protrude from between his lips. He looks like a new, rain-bearing cloud with a ray of moonlight peeping from behind it. [Note; This is an extract from a Bhasa play.

Five years on - are we half way there? from Diabetes UK suggests that half way through the ten-year plan, the NHS’s progress in achieving person-centred, co-ordinated care that aims to ensure fewer people develop diabetes and better care for those who have the condition will fail to deliver on the standards it set itself five years ago if it doesn’t refocus NHS efforts. It finds that while some people with diabetes in some parts of the country receive excellent care, many are still not benefi

Hello all, this is Adibah! It’s a great change to be here, outside of an environment suffused with Lit texts, thoughts, and criticisms. Interests for me are centred by a (practically-) religious devotion to the arts in all its forms of manifestation – books, films, performances. I watch quite a number of documentaries and other programmes on the telly, most especially American Idol, I Shouldn’t Be Alive, The Apprentice – seemingly inane stuff, but nonetheless strangely satisfying.
