text: Education Rethinking Attention Deficit Disorder: A Look at Diagnosis, Treatment, and Education By The Exchange • May 9, 2016 ihaveadreamorgeon / Flickr/CC With the number of diagnoses and prescriptions on a twenty-year rise, these days, having a kid with ADHD is no longer outside the norm. Still: there's plenty of disagreement over the nature of the diagnosis itself, when medication can help kids, and when other approaches might be better. This program was originally broadcast on January 19, 2016. UNH, Faculty Union Reach Five Year Labor Deal By Brady Carlson • Mar 24, 2016 Brainlesssteel via Flickr CC After about a year of negotiating, the University of New Hampshire has reached a new five-year labor agreement with the university chapter of the American Association of University Professors – Tenure Track. The Opt Out Debate: Should Students Have to Take Standardized Tests? By The Exchange • Mar 23, 2016 Osair Manassan / Flickr/CC It's a growing group nationally: parents who refuse to let their children take statewide assessments such as those aligned with Common Core. Now, New Hampshire lawmakers are considering a bill allowing parents to do the same without fear of penalty, arguing these tests do more harm than good. But test-backers say they provide valuable information. In Londonderry, Middle Schoolers Launch A Lunchroom 'Revolution'... For Corn Dogs By Brady Carlson • Mar 12, 2016 Mary via Flickr/CC - http://ow.ly/ZnDmU What happens when a school takes one of those lunchroom staples off the menu? Something big – at least if you look at recent events at schools in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Hampton Academy Eyes $25 Million Renovation By Jason Moon • Mar 4, 2016 Voters in Hampton will decide whether a proposed 25 million dollar renovation of Hampton Academy middle school will proceed. The plan calls for an extensive renovation of Hampton Academy, including a new gymnasium and overhauls of the existing building's interior. The total cost of the project is 24.9 million dollars. Hampton School District Superintendent Kathleen Murphy says the renovation is long overdue. Study: Urban Schools in N.H. Suspend, Expel Students More Often By Jason Moon • Mar 2, 2016 Indiana Public Media via Flickr Creative Commons Students in New Hampshire's urban school districts are more likely to be expelled or suspended than students from non-urban districts, according to a new study from the UNH Carsey School of Public Policy. Manchester and its Suburbs Continue to Drift Apart on Education Issue By Ted Siefer • Feb 12, 2016 Ted Siefer / NHPR Next month, residents of Candia will vote whether to pull their high schoolers out of the Manchester school district and send them instead to Pinkerton Academy in Derry. If the agreement goes through, Candia would be the last town in the greater Manchester area to remove its students from the city's school district – the largest in New Hampshire. Lawmakers Reject Bill to Fund All-Day Kindergarten By Jason Moon • Feb 11, 2016 Woodley Wonderworks via Flickr CC Lawmakers in Concord yesterday killed a bill that would provide money for full-day kindergarten programs in the state. The vote of 157-200 was along party lines. Currently, the state provides adequacy funding for half-day kindergarten programs only. While the bill would not have required districts to offer full-day programs, it would have provided additional state dollars to those districts that already provide them. Sponsors of the bill argue the state should fund kindergarten at the same level as other grades. Opponents of the bill cited cost. School Lunch in N.H.: The Challenges of Getting Healthy Food in Front of Kids By The Exchange • Jan 28, 2016 USDA / Flickr/CC As stricter nutrition regulations go into their fifth year, some New Hampshire students and schools, continue to push back against these federal guidelines to make meals healthier. But the rules have many supporters too who say that serving food with less sodium, fat, and calories is a necessity in an era of childhood obesity. 1.21.16: What Does "Progressive" Mean, School Assemblies, & 10-Minute Writer's Workshop By Word of Mouth • Jan 21, 2016 City of Boston Archives via flickr Creative Commons / https://flic.kr/p/bnwScM Labels get thrown around willy-nilly during primary season...among them? Progressive. However candidates Clinton & Sanders use the term, its history is not so straightforward. On today's show, the rise and fall of progressive politics. Then, from anti-bullying seminars to the dare to keep kids off drugs program, ushering a gaggle of students into an auditorium or gymnasium for an all school assembly is a time honored tradition. But sometimes the educational value of the message is questionable. Where They Stand: Democrats Focus on Lowering College Tuition, Though Tactics Differ By Emily Corwin & Sara Plourde • Dec 18, 2015 After Bernie Sanders announced his proposal to make college free, college affordability has been front and center in the Democratic primary. When it comes to broad goals, the candidates agree. But as for the best way to get there, that's where they differ. Where Are the Women in Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math? By The Exchange • Dec 2, 2015 Lehigh University / Flickr/CC Over the last decade, high schools and universities have adopted programs encouraging female students to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering and math, and there's been a lot of talk about closing the gap. But now, this divide is changing, with women dominating in some stem fields and men in others. We're getting the latest picture. Guests: Manchester Schools Debut New Start Times By NHPR Staff • Nov 30, 2015 meridiannh.com Students in Manchester schools are heading back to classes this morning at new times. The school district is changing hours based on its new contract with the Manchester Education Association. The high schools will start at 7:45 this morning, the middle schools at 7:35 and elementary schools in the city will begin at 8:45. New State Law Complicates Classroom Recording For N.H. School Districts By Rick Ganley & Michael Brindley • Nov 11, 2015 www.audio-luci-store.it on Flickr Creative Commons A new state law limiting when schools can record in classrooms is having unintended consequences for some New Hampshire school districts. The law was aimed at protecting the privacy of teachers and students, but school officials say the added regulations have made it more difficult to film classrooms for legitimate reasons. Priscilla Morrill is a reporter for the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript. N.H. Ranks High in Math, Reading Scores - But Maybe Not as High as You Think By Dan Barrick • Oct 30, 2015 When the Department of Education released its latest round of state-level reading and math scores this week, it was cause for cheer in New Hampshire. The state ranked in the top two or three states in every category and grade-level tests. Those kind of high marks have been common in New Hampshire for years. But a recent report suggests the state's status as one of the nation's top test-takers should come down a few notches. National Assessments Place N.H. Students Among Highest Achievers By Associated Press • Oct 28, 2015 Thomas Favre-Bulle / Flickr Creative Commons The latest batch of national assessment tests shows New Hampshire students remaining among the highest achievers in math and reading. The 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress shows the average scores for reading in New Hampshire holding steady compared to 2013 for both fourth graders and eighth graders. For the younger group, only one state had a higher average score than New Hampshire. For eighth graders, New Hampshire was tied with four other states at the top of the list. N.H. Attorney General Refuses to Defend Cap on State Aid to Schools By Jason Moon • Oct 27, 2015 rickpilot_2000 / flickr cc The Attorney General's office has refused to defend the law that caps state aid to schools in a case brought by the city of Dover. It's the latest in a long string of battles over education funding in the state. New Hampshire's Charter Schools: A Growing Choice By The Exchange • Oct 26, 2015 Jaddie Dodd / Flickr/CC New Hampshire now has 25 of these alternative public schools, after a spate of rapid growth. We'll look at some of the themes raised in NHPR's recent series, A Growing Choice. These include how charter schools are funded, who their students are, and what overall role they play in public education. Guests: Job Corps Center To Open In Manchester By Brady Carlson • Oct 19, 2015 Ryan Lessard / NHPR Governor Maggie Hassan and New Hampshire's congressional delegation will be among those on hand for the opening of a Job Corps center today in Manchester. The facility will provide vocational training to 300 students ages 16 to 24. The effort to build the center began in 2001, but construction stalled several years ago over contract language that would have required that it be built by union labor. The agreement was later lifted, and construction began in 2013. Rise in Homeschooling: New Approaches, and Fewer Regulations By The Exchange • Oct 12, 2015 Patrick / Flickr/CC The number of homeschooling families in New Hampshire and nationwide continues to grow, and they're more diverse: including families with a wider range of political, religious, and educational approaches. But even as this group expands, it is less regulated by the states, sparking debate on how much oversight is needed. The show was originally broadcast on September 22, 2015. GUESTS: Gatsas, Craig Paint Different Pictures Of Manchester's Education System By Ted Siefer • Oct 2, 2015 Brady Carlson / NHPR The candidates for mayor of Manchester squared off in their first face-to-face forum Thursday night. Incumbent three-term Mayor Ted Gatsas is being challenged by Joyce Craig, a veteran alderman. The two presented starkly contrasting visions for the state's largest city. The forum took place at an elementary school — an appropriate setting considering that education was a running theme through the evening. Craig, a Democrat, faulted Gatsas for large class sizes and other problems in Manchester's schools. Custodial Staff Could be Laid Off By Nashua School District By Ted Siefer • Sep 28, 2015 File Photo Custodians in Nashua and their supporters are expected to hold a rally Monday evening ahead of a school board meeting to protest the board's decision to end their union contract. In a move that took many by surprise, the board voted 7-1 earlier this month to seek bids from private contractors to take over the district's custodial services — and union members aren't taking the move sitting down. Who Are The 'Gifted And Talented' And What Do They Need? By Anya Kamenetz • Sep 28, 2015 Ron Turiello's daughter, Grace, seemed unusually alert even as a newborn. At 7 months or so, she showed an interest in categorizing objects: She'd take a drawing of an elephant in a picture book, say, and match it to a stuffed elephant and a realistic plastic elephant. At 5 or 6 years old, when snorkeling with her family in Hawaii, she identified a passing fish correctly as a Heller's barracuda, then added, "Where are the rest? They usually travel in schools." Manchester Preschool Teacher Named New Hampshire Teacher Of The Year By Associated Press • Sep 22, 2015 Manchester School District A preschool teacher in Manchester has been named the 2016 New Hampshire Teacher of the Year. Ashley Preston, who teaches at Parker Varney Elementary School, becomes the state's candidate for National Teacher of the Year. Preston has been teaching for nine years, all of them in the Manchester School District. The Department of Education says the selection committee recognized her ability to help her students be curious, critical thinkers and problem solvers. 9.20.15: Student Debt, Mindfulness in Schools, & the Song of the Fall By Word of Mouth • Sep 18, 2015 Paul Townsend via Flickr CC / flic.kr/p/vyKPHC Harvard, like other prestigious Ivy League schools, is a non-profit. Still, its 36-billion dollar endowment is bigger than the GDP of Jamaica. So why does it remain tax free? Then - meditation, sitting, mindfulness: whatever you call it, it's springing up everywhere, from Google's corporate offices to high school classrooms in the Bronx. But can techniques developed to help hospital patients really improve the lives of low-income students? We find out why mindfulness has a place in the classroom.

Today, the author of a new book on the science of autism gives us a primer on the neurodiversity movement. Then, Miranda July may be known for her quirky role in the 2005 film Me and You and Everyone We Know but the actress and artist has since written a debut novel which borrows heavily from her personal life. 9.07.15: A World Without Work, The American Vacation, & In Defense of the Office By Word of Mouth • Sep 7, 2015 lungstruck via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/rQmjb3 Machines will soon take over for humans and slog through the dirty work, leaving people free to do whatever they choose in a world without work. We talk about what a post-job society might look like, and how we might prepare for it. Then, from 9 to 5 to The Office, we've got plenty of examples of cookie-cutter cubicles where workers toil away in soul-crushing boredom and fatigue. On today's show: in defense of office life. Plus, we discover a class that brings a serious approach to leisure. Playing Youth Sports Takes A Lot More Green Than It Used To By Patti Neighmond • Sep 7, 2015 You could say 36-year-old Matt Ray works in paradise — on a barrier island off the Florida's southern coast. As athletic director of the Anna Maria Island Community Center, Ray is doing what he loves. "I grew up playing sports," he says. "I actually played two years of college basketball. So sports have pretty much been my entire life." 9.03.15: A Global History Of Sex Education & The Trouble With Eyewitness Testimony By Word of Mouth • Sep 3, 2015 Nathan Rupert via flickr CC / flic.kr/p/aEtJLV As schools across the country struggle to meet the new national common core standards, one controversial aspect of education is not part of the curriculum: sex education. On today's show: the evolving debate around sex ed, and why it's not strictly an American phenomenon. Plus, from false confessions to inadequate defenses, wrongful convictions can happen for many reasons. We'll look at faulty eyewitness testimonies, the number one contributing cause of wrongful convictions. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

I'm ready for you. If it's going to be cold, you might as well come. Please oh please stick around for awhile next time?
dear Mommy,
Thank you for stringing my room with lights. I kinda sorta love it.
dear odd dreams about bad performances, plastic bag skirts, and muffins,
Uhm, you're odd.
dear candles,
I wasn't supposed to be one of those candle ladies like my mom. Okay, let's get this straight--I'm really not one of those crazy candle ladies like my mom. But still, I really like the way you smell when I burn you and when I extinguish you, especially when you are peppermint scented.
dear candy canes,
I adore you, just adore you. Why are you only around this time of year? You are so spectacular.
dear pine and little red berries,
We're best friends forever, right?
Talking to you about how I wanted to be an astronaut as a little girl brought back good memories. I love listening to you sing your heart out to the piano roll playing an oldie you've probably never heard of. Baking cookies and writing letters with you is fun. You're cute. I want to keep you.
dear m&m cookies,
Oh, you know I love you to pieces...but then I will eat all the said pieces.
dear Brooke,
When I randomly wrote the lyrics "dog days are over" on a sticky note, I was not expecting to find the reply "duh they're over" (spelled "daaaa their over") written next to it. Thanks for making my day.
dear future house,
If you just contain a deliciously large library, I will be happy. That's all I ask.
dear tea,
Well, my friend, you've done it again.
dear Christmas tree,
I was rather sad when I didn't get to be a part of putting you up, and I was also sad that my little sisters decorated you while I was gone. But I was happy that "cleaning the house" gave me an excuse to put up the remainder of the ornaments and re-situate ones that were about to fall off, thus redeeming my part in the process. You're pretty, and I like you.
|entering this in jess's photo challenge--because I love the lights of the season, and consequently, the bokeh ♥
dear ornaments,
Please be careful--you break easily when I'm not paying attention. Also, I love how every single one of you is linked to a memory, and how we have the tradition of getting a new special one of you each year.
|entering this in kelsey's photo challenge--my favorite ornament for sure.
dear Josh Groban,
Thank you for existing.
dear gee gullifers,
I'm pretty sure you're not even a legitimate expression. So why do I find you stuck in my head? I'm too embarrassed to use you in public, so I think I'll just stick with "gee" for now, thank you very much.
dear Grant,
Believe it or not, I am indeed surviving your attempts to learn guitar.
dear bokeh,
You're all kinds of wonderful.
dear peppermint mocha,
I usually don't like peppermint and chocolate together, but you are like Christmas in a cup.
dear Christmas shopping,
Why are you always so difficult for me? I was not blessed with the love language of gift giving you see, so you must take it easy on me in the future.
dear people who compliment me on good hair days,
Aw shucks. You aren't too bad yourself.
dear fire,
Lighting you for the first time this year made me very, very happy. You are warm and cozy and extraordinarily close to my heart. I would also like to remind you that I am not in fact a pyromaniac.
dear Christmas break,
You're incredible. The end.

User Interface to Add Images to Theme Templates
Hi, hope someone can help. This may been covered but I have searched through the forums but have been unable to find an answer.
I am doing a website for a client and being a WordPress fan decided to use it as the cms. Have used it on a few of my sites and other customers for this purpose so am pretty familiar if not an expert.
A couple of the pages have images beneath the navigation and above the main information (the content) on the page. So these images will not be directly within the post area on the page when editing and currently these are hard coded into the page template. How can I make these editable through the dashboard for the end user to change.
I feel as though I am missing the obvious here and there may be a plugin to do this for me but I am yet to find it. Is custom fields the way to go with this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Mackay quick to expose Millwall defence
Millwall 0 Norwich City 2
NORWICH CITY kept alive their hopes of squeezing into the Nationwide League first division play-offs for a second successive season last night when first-half goals from Malky Mackay, their inspirational captain, and Zema Abbey gave them a comfortable victory over Millwall, whose season is fading away.
Millwall reached the play-offs themselves last year, but they have been so ravaged by injury and illness this season that their only remaining objective, according to Mark McGhee, their manager, is to finish as the top London club in the division.
Even that modest ambition looked well beyond them as a highly motivated Norwich team soon left them exposed and on the way to their sixth defeat in eight matches. As early as the eighth minute, Steven Reid, a…

Nielsen Media Research will begin limited tracking this week of what the nation's television audience records on digital video devices for later viewing.
Nielsen Media Research will begin limited tracking this week of what the nation's television audience records on digital video devices for later viewing.
Nielsen, whose TV viewership ratings affect the flow of advertising dollars, is monitoring digital video recorder (DVR) use to better reflect viewer habits as more of the devices make their way into U.S. homes.
The company will initially have measuring equipment in 60 homes that have DVRs, with plans to increase the number by 100 a month until the Nielsen survey is representative of the national use of the devices. Nielsen said about 7 percent of the U.S. households with television have DVRs.
A critical issue in the use of DVRs is the option to fast-forward through ads. The Nielsen meters will provide a minute-by-minute account of viewers' activity, including whether ads fall victim to the fast-forward button. A decline in the viewership of ads could limit what networks charge advertisers.Lenovo Group
Hire expected to aid
bid to topple Dell
Lenovo Group, seeking to usurp Dell as the world's largest computer maker, just hired itself some inside knowledge.
William Amelio, Dell's president for Asia-Pacific and Japan, joined the Chinese company as chief executive officer, Lenovo said. The 48-year-old replaces Stephen Ward.
Lenovo, which bought IBM's PC business in April, is turning to a longtime IBM executive who helped Dell's sales in Asia double in the past four years. Lenovo shares recorded the biggest gain on Hong Kong's benchmark index this year as a successful integration of the IBM business enabled profit to grow in the two most recent quarters.Apple Computer
Web growing fast,
thanks to iTunes
Driven largely by the popularity of the iTunes music service and software, Apple Computer's Web site was the fastest-growing last month among the major brands, according to a study by Nielsen/NetRatings.
The site drew 30.8 million unique visitors last month, a 57 percent jump from the 19.6 million a year earlier. Google saw a 29 percent growth in visitors while Amazon.com had a 16 percent boost.
Yahoo! remained the Web's leading brand with 104 million visitors, a 10 percent increase from November 2004. But among the Web's top 10 brands, Yahoo's growth ranked only seventh.
Comparing all sites with at least 1 million visitors last month, the PhotoBucket photo-sharing site saw the largest growth — a 16-fold increase to 15.6 million visitors, from 983,000 last year.
Social-networking sites MySpace and Facebook had the second- and third-highest growth, respectively. Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that lets volunteers add and change entries regardless of their expertise, was ninth on the list, nearly quadrupling its traffic.Warner Music Group
Subpoena issued
in industry probe
Warner Music Group has been subpoenaed by the New York attorney general in an antitrust investigation into pricing of digital music downloads, the company said in a securities filing Friday.
Warner said it received the request for information Tuesday.
"As part of an industrywide investigation concerning pricing of digital music downloads, we received a subpoena from Attorney General [Eliot] Spitzer's office as disclosed in our public filings. We are cooperating fully with the inquiry," said Warner Music Group spokesman Will Tanous.
The New York Attorney General's Office could not be reached for comment.
A music-industry source said the current probe appears to center on the way music companies set wholesale prices for digital downloads.
4th-quarter profit
to surpass forecasts
Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of memory chips and liquid-crystal displays, said fourth-quarter profit from both products will exceed its forecasts on demand for televisions and video-game players.
Earnings from the two businesses beat projections made in October, Chu Woo Sik, head of investor relations at Samsung, said in an interview, without disclosing either forecast. Chips and LCDs account for about 70 percent of operating profit.
Rising demand for LCD TVs in the run-up to next year's soccer World Cup, coupled with higher sales of chips used in Microsoft's Xbox 360 game consoles, may bolster Samsung's profit. Samsung's shares rose for a fifth day to a record.
"When you look at recent relevant data, they all point toward the fourth quarter looking pretty good for LCDs and chips," said Kim Seong Ki, who oversees the equivalent of $1.4 billion, including Samsung stock, as chief investment officer at Chohung Investment Trust Management in Seoul. "The fun should carry over to next year."Qualcomm
Joint venture set up
with firm in Japan
Qualcomm, the world's No. 2 maker of processors that run mobile phones, and KDDI agreed to form a venture to using the U.S. company's television-program-transmission technology in Japan.
The companies will set up the venture Tuesday, KDDI said. KDDI, Japan's second-largest phone company, will own 80 percent of the new company and seek possibilities to offer Qualcomm's "MediaFlo" service in Japan.
Qualcomm is looking abroad to spread its "MediaFlo" service, which can transmit a single broadcast, such as a World Series baseball game, to millions of cellphones at the same time. Qualcomm plans to offer the service in the U.S. with Verizon Wireless next year.
The new technology is in contrast to the terrestrial digital TV programs for mobile phones, which will be available in Japan beginning in April, said KDDI spokesman Haruhiko Maede.

The debate started in May last year when Maharashtra FDA acted against e-commerce giant Snapdeal as it was found selling prescription drugs. Identifying the need for regulating these trades, the union government formed a task force to work on formulating these laws under the leadership of Dr Harshadeep Kamble, commissioner of FDA Maharashtra.
"We have been able to provide evidence that the e-pharmacies have been involved in unfair trade practices. MTP kits, narcotics and habit forming drugs, some of which are banned and others that go through strict vigilance when sold in a store, are being sold online without much caution," said Anil Navandar, the general secretary of Maharashtra State Chemists and Druggists Association. He said he was upset that while a licensed trader was put through hell for even a small, unintentional mistake, a serious offence was being allowed to happen.
Trade bodies, specifically All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD), have been raising the issue with FDA. They had even called for a national bandh in October when the government seemed like softening its stand by allowing the sale through Internet. A PIL was also filed in the Bombay High Court, following which the court ordered the state to take action to curb online trade of medicines as well as spread public awareness about it.
While several pharmacists believe that despite the order of the DGCI, FDA is not cracking down on the offending firms, joint commissioner (law) of FDA Maharashtra OS Sadhwani disagreed. "The whole issue was brought to the fore by us when we first acted against Snapdeal. Online sale of medicine does not come under the purview of the Drugs and Cosmetic Rules, 1945. However, there are several contraventions that need to be controlled. FDA is doing its bit, and if anyone brings some of these practices to our notice, we won't hesitate to take action," he said.
Saying that Big Pharma were having their influence on decisions being taken, Harish Ganeshani, an executive member of the state pharmacy council, said, "We were told by some members of the expert committee that the public was demanding the service. The fact that the service was playing with the health of the nation as its distribution chain and working methodologies were not scrutinized by any government authority was ignored." However, he was hopeful that with Dr Kamble at the helm, FDA Maharashtra would be among the first to crack the whip.
- Orders may be based on the basis of web searches rather than actual prescriptions
- Pharmacovigilance, which is a practice that ensures drugs are used justifiably, is rendered useless by online sales
- In case of a faulty batch of medicines, drug recall becomes a big problem
- No authority to regulate record keeping, safe storage conditions and distribution chain of the trade
- Provides easy access to banned medicines, narcotics and habit forming drugs
- Makes consumers vulnerable to cheating through sales of counterfeit medicines, fraud companies or other unfair practices
- An alert pharmacist can often notice mistakes made in prescriptions that is not possible in an online service
- Licenses should be made compulsory for those wishing to sell medicines online
- Establishment of an authority to overlook proper record keeping of all sales
- Ensuring that warehouses, stocks and distribution chain in the physical world are linked to the service provider to establish authenticity
- Regular and surprise checks of all of the above by FDA, like done for medical shops
- Regualtions needed for dangerous drugs that can't be sold without prescriptions

Ibibio Sound Machines debut album at No. 8 in Time Outs Best Albums of 2014
We delighted that Ibibio Sound Machines self-titled debut is number eight in Time Outs Best Albums of 2014.
Ibibio Sound Machine released their debut back in March on Soundway Records. Fronted by British/Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, disco, post-punk & psychedelic electro soul. From the banging sub-bass of 'Lets Dance' to the spiritual, gospel-tinged notes of the album's opening track 'Voice of the Bird', the band have turned in a dynamic and, at times, beautiful take on modern afro-soul music.
Time Outs Oliver Keens says of the debut album:
It's hard to imagine the eight diverse members of this group coalescing anywhere but London, and they drew on lead singer Eno Williams's south-east Nigeria heritage for this outstanding debut, sung mostly in the regional dialect of Ibibio. All combined with the brassy flair of Afrofunk, the sass of Grace Jones and the machine groove of deep house.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, Scottish
The surname Marshall is a name of ancient Norman origin. It comes from the Old French "mareschal," which is in turn derived from the Germanic elements "marah," meaning "horse" and "scalc," or "servant." Thus the name was originally used for a person who tended horses. Around the same time that surnames were being formed, the marshall was one of the most important servants in the houses of the nobility.
Marshall Early Origins
Lothian, where the Clan is said to be descended from Robert, an early Chieftain of the Catti tribe, and possibly one of the earliest settlers in Scotland. Robert joined King Malcolm II at the battle of Panbridge, in 1006, against Camus, leader of the Danes. Robert slew Camus for which King Malcolm granted Robert the hereditary title of Marshall of Scotland, with a barony in Lothian and the island of Inskeith in the gulf of Edinburgh. It is for this title that the Keiths are sometimes known as the Marshalls, and many Clansmen adopted that name.

Suggested Readings for the name Marshall
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Semper virescit virtus
Motto Translation: Virtue always flourishes.
Marshall Clan Badge
Marshall Clan Badge
A clan is a social group made up of a number of distinct branch-families that actually descended from, or accepted themselves as descendants of, a common ancestor. The word clan means simply children. The idea of the clan as a community is necessarily based around this idea of heredity and is most often ruled according to a patriarchal structure. For instance, the clan chief represented the hereditary "parent" of the entire clan. The most prominent example of this form of society is the Scottish Clan system...More

Richard and pam's Review
Born again.
We had Kitchen and Bath Experts totally gut the kitchen, remove everything, and start from scratch. From the electrical work to the dry wall, we redid everything. The demo was the only thing we weren't totally happy about, and that was because we weren't sure about when they were coming.
The installation process was very good. We got the floors from someone else, so after the floors were done everything moved along very well. They were very skillful at what they did, from lining the cabinets up to putting in the appliances. The man who did our backsplash did an excellent job. The entire crew was very professional and did a very good job. They were very easy to work with.
You do have to be patient. Of course, as a customer we want everything done right away, but it doesn't work that way. They end up getting it done, and doing it very skillfully, so be patient. The kitchen is just beautiful. We absolutely love it. It is like stepping into a whole new world because it is so cozy and comfortable.

Doctor : Welcome to Ask The Doctor. Thanks for trusting us for your health issues. We are here to help you our best on this me dical platform. As per details, you seem to be having Fungal infection. Tight fitting shoes especially for long time in hot humid weather precipitate it very easily. In such cases, topical antifungals like clotrimazole cream and tablet fluconazole is started. Decision for duration of the treatment is based on the severity of the lesion and effect of the treatment. You should try to keep the area clean and dry and preferably wear open sandals or loose broad shoes from front. You should also get your blood sugars tested as diabetes can also precipitate it. Share my opinion with your doctor before acting upon it. I hope it helps. Stay Healthy

Paper Towns received mostly positive reviews. Publishers Weekly said that "the title, which refers to unbuilt subdivisions and copyright trap towns that appear on maps but don't exist, unintentionally underscores the novel's weakness: both milquetoast Q and self-absorbed Margo are types, not fully dimensional characters." They also commented that the novel is "another teen pleasing read".[29] Meanwhile, Kirkus Reviews praised the novel as "a winning combination."[30] Similarly, School Library Journal said that "Q is a great social outcast main character who sometimes thinks a little too much, but is completely relatable. Though we only really see Margo for the first third of the book, the clues really create her character and give us the feeling she's a complex person. Finding out who Margo is through the things she left behind was a really great way to develop her character."[31]
Furthermore, Rebecca Swain of Orlando Sentinel stated: "Paper Towns has convinced me that jaded adult readers need to start raiding the Teen's section at the bookstore. Green, who grew up in Orlando and uses the city as a backdrop for the story, taps into the cadence of teenage life with sharp and funny writing, but transcends age with deeper insights."[32] Similarly, Chelsey G.H. Philpot, editorial assistant of The Horn Book Guide, commented that "the end breaks your heart, and yet it feels right."[33] Meanwhile, Rollie Welch called Paper Towns "Green's best work" up to that point.[34] Critics, such as Michael Cart, praise John Green for his symbolism and ability to synthesize imagination and reality: "Green ponders the interconnectedness of imagination and perception, of mirrors and windows, of illusion and reality."[35] Nevertheless, there has been some criticism and objection towards the text. Robert Corwin of Arizona State University argues that "some readers may find the author's use of language and sexual content objectionable."[35]

Gwendolyn's StoryMay 01, 2011 by Victoria Strong
Gwendolyn DeBard Strong was born perfectly healthy October 4, 2007 following a picture perfect pregnancy. Her cry was faint in comparison to other newborns, but she fed immediately and passed all newborn screenings with flying colors. We proudly took her home to begin our new life as a family.
At 8-weeks-old, we began to notice Gwendolyn wasn't reaching out for toys and she started to fuss through feedings. We met with our pediatrician for a routine check-up and we were immediately hospitalized. That morning, before the doctor's appointment, Gwendolyn had been smiling and mimicking sounds, but by that night, while in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), she became completely paralyzed, could no longer smile, and was having difficulty breathing. Because she seemed to be a thriving baby, Gwendolyn was initially misdiagnosed with Infant Botulism, a serious but treatable illness. We spent a month in the hospital and Gwendolyn seemed to slowly, but steadily build up strength. We were hopeful. After three months of only moderate improvement, the simple Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) DNA blood test was ordered. We now know that with the prevalence of SMA, the test should have been ordered the first day she had been hospitalized three months prior. In the weeks it took to receive the results of the test, we began to see the SMA symptoms in Gwendolyn. On March 31, 2008, just before her 6-month birthday, we received the results and the worst news any parent can learn -- Gwendolyn had SMA Type I. Regardless of how long, our time with her would be tragically limited.
We quickly learned that we didn't have much time to come to terms with her diagnosis. Gwendolyn's SMA had progressed rapidly and she needed respiratory and feeding assistance immediately before it was too late. We spoke with many SMA specialists and within two weeks of her diagnosis, we traveled to Stanford, the nearest hospital with SMA expertise, to have the G-Tube with Nissen Fundoplication surgery for non-oral feeding, began using a BiPAP breathing machine, and learned how to administer respiratory treatments in the hopes of keeping her healthy for as long as possible. Gwendolyn spent another month hospitalized at Stanford, but with this new assistance she regained strength and we were able to take her home -- this time to begin our life and journey with SMA.
It was during those difficult first few months that Gwendolyn showed us how very determined and spirited she is and how much she loves being part of the world! While she cannot form words, she makes it very clear that she wants adventure, loves being social with other children, and wants to do all the things able-bodied children love to do. Gwendolyn now proudly attends elementary school where her favorite activities include playing with the other children, reading, and dance class. She is a dare-devil and has been sledding, jumped in bounce houses, and loves anything that lets her go fast. She loves music and regularly attended music class as a toddler and has been to multiple live theater performances (her favorites were Disney Playhouse Live, Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street Live). She has been to aquariums, museums, zoos, Disneyland and Sea World. She adores animals and has had special encounters with many, including getting to touch a penguin and a baby fox, feed a giraffe and a dolphin, and has weekly visits with a miniature therapy horse named "Little Star." She has been to several national parks and we took her on a month-long 5,000-mile cross-country RV journey in June 2009 to meet her 104-year-old great-grandfather, having family experiences all along the way. She' has a passion for running and, using a specialized wheelchair with Dad, has completed two half marathons and multiple 5Ks.
SMA doesn't make any of this easy and we usually have to do things a bit differently, but we try as hard as possible to give Gwendolyn the life that she wants; full of rich experiences and surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. She has been our guide and continually lets us know that SMA isn't going to stop her from living life to the fullest.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment will team up with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and Westar Energy for the fourth annual "Keep it Clean Kansas" state park cleanup event, which runs from 8 to 11 a.m. April 22 at various state parks.
Meade, Glen Elder, Kaw River, Fall River and Hillsdale state parks all were selected for the cleanup. Volunteers can register for the event at www.kdheks.gov/waste/earthday.html to receive a T-shirt and breakfast for their efforts.
"We are excited to get communities across Kansas involved in preserving the natural beauty of our state parks," said Bill Bider, Bureau of Waste Management director, in a news release. "The event was a success last year and we've selected five more parks for the cleanup this year. By selecting five or six different parks each year, we can ensure that every one of our state parks is cleaned on a five-year rotating basis."

Del Norte's Hoffman is now the all-time leading receiver at Brigham Young
The receiving records at Brigham Young University have fallen like dominos over the Cougars' last three games.
Each week, Cody Hoffman, a 2008 graduate of Del Norte High, has supplanted a BYU football great at the top of the school charts.
On Oct. 19, Hoffman etched his name into the record books when he surpassed Dennis Pitta's career receptions record of 221. Hoffman currently has 239 catches.
The following week against Boise State, Hoffman bested Austin Collie's career touchdown record of 30. Hoffman has 33 touchdowns now.
On Saturday, Hoffman took control of the school's final major career receiving record. Against Wisconsin, Hoffman surpassed Collie's record of 3,255 yards receiving. He ended the game with 3,355 career receiving yards.
Although the BYU faithful will likely remember Hoffman long after he leaves Provo, Utah, he arrived on campus without a lot of fanfare.
In high school, Hoffman was a three-year varsity starter and was named to the Humboldt-Del Norte Big 5 All-Conference team all three years. Hoffman also helped the Warriors win HDN Big 5 league championships in 2006 and 2007.
As a senior, Hoffman was especially dominant, catching 50 passes for more than 1,000 yards, including seven 100-yard receiving games.
"I always had that feeling that he could excel to a whole different level than what we have seen here in a while," said Hoffman's football coach at Del Norte, Lewis Nova. "Obviously, he has height, but he did the things he needed to do to get better each year."
Offers were few
Still, when it came time to pick a college, only BYU and Sacramento State were ready to give him a scholarship.
Hoffman was not available for an interview this week, but one of his longtime teammates talked about what it's been like to play beside the former Del Norte Warrior.
"I have known Cody for five years now, we came in together in '09," said BYU senior tight end Richard Wilson. "He is a pretty quiet and reserved kid. When I first met him, I never would have expected him to turn out to be the way he is. He was so shy and quiet."
It wasn't long before the quiet kid from Northern California started turning heads.
After a year on the scout team, Hoffman caught 42 passes as a red-shirt freshman. That was the second-most on the team in 2010 and the most of any BYU wide receiver.
'Our main target'
It wasn't just the Cougar fans who began to take notice of Hoffman. Opposing defenses quickly began keeping an extra close eye on him, but with limited success.
"For the past four years, I would say he has been our main target in the offense," Wilson said. "Even though defenses focus on him, he just continues to make plays."
Hoffman has also put up the record-breaking numbers without the benefit of much offensive stability. He has gone through multiple offensive coordinators and receiver coaches, and the Cougars have had a different starting quarterback every year he has played.
"The amazing thing is, all those records that he broke were held by wonderful receivers who had consistent quarterbacks throughout the three or four years that they played," Wilson said. "Cody has had different quarterbacks every year. That just goes to show that he is just a play-maker with whoever has been there. He has really been the spark of our offense for the past two or three years."
For Wilson, it is plain to see what makes Hoffman such a formidable offensive weapon.
"For one thing, he is massive at 6 feet 4 inches," Wilson said. "The good thing about him is he has awesome hands. He catches almost everything in practice and in games. Anything that is thrown close to him, he is going to go get. He has gained our quarterbacks' confidence and they know he can make a play when it matters."
Headed for NFL
Beyond filling up the stat books, Hoffman has built a reputation as a go-to guy at BYU over the past four seasons.
"Obviously, he has put together some incredible numbers here," said first-year BYU wide receivers coach Guy Holliday. "I would say he is a primary target. More importantly, when we need a big play, Cody always seems to be the person that comes up with it. That is not always by design either. It is just Cody being Cody. He is a great play-maker."
That is high praise coming from Holliday, a college coach for 23 years who has seen his share of talented players.
"I have coached 21 receivers that have gone on to the NFL and I think (Hoffman) is as good as any of them that I have coached," Holliday said. "So I am excited to see what the future holds for him."
That future will almost certainly include the NFL. Hoffman is projected as a first-day draft pick in the upcoming 2014 NFL Draft.
First, Hoffman will try to finish his senior season at BYU strongly. The Cougars have three regular-season games remaining and are currently 6-3 after a 27-17 loss to No. 17 Wisconsin.
Hoffman will finish his college career in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco on Dec. 27 against a team to be named from the Pac-12.

It's hard to imagine a time when bananas were an exotic fruit. Today, the average American eats 27 pounds of bananas every year, more than apples and oranges combined. Yet in the 1940s, Chiquita Banana developed their now famous jingle to show Americans just how to eat and store this exotic yellow fruit.
At its peak, the song graced the airwaves of the United States 376 times a day. In 1999, the company even updated the lyrics (while retaining the original tune) to highlight the nutritional benefits of bananas. Like many sequels, it just can't beat the original.
There's only one thing you need to remember – never put bananas in your refrigerator.

The bracelet is approximately 8 inches long, but it was made using stretchy jewlery wire so it will stretch to accomodate a wider wrist. It features a charcoal colored lobster clasp. Would make a great gift! All of my jewelry comes in a jewelry gift box.

I wish I had the patience for a 12 step cleansing routine..
Yes you heard me right, 12 steps! Korean women are well known for their crazy cleansing regimes and even though it's evident it works I just can't commit to that kind of time. Recently I've got on board with a two step cleansing regime from the Korean brand Erborian and I'm loving it.
I start off by using the Cleansing Crème aux Herbes which is absolutely beautiful in texture. There's something I love about using a creme, it's not as heavy as a balm nor as light as an oil - it's a great inbetween. I massage this into a face full of make up and it pretty much breaks down everything. I've also been using Erborian's Charcoal Konjac Sponge, I didn't know the benefits of using this sponge but honestly it's amazing at improving the texture of your skin. I run it under warm water and the sponge becomes super soft, it's incredible at removing any make up whilst at the same time lightly exfoliating the skin. I remove the Cleansing Creme using this sponge and once my face is fully clean I go in with step two the foaming cleanser. I don't know what it is about using a cleansing foam but my skin feels squeaky clean afterwards and this one is fab because it doesn't dry out the skin.
Both of these products smell divine and have really worked well at improving my skins radiance over the last few months. I didn't know much about Erborian skin care but I have to say what I've tried I've loved and I can't wait to try more from the brand.
Have any of you tried anything from Erborian? They're well known for their BB and CC cremes, which are also really worth checking out. What does your current cleansing regime consist of?
Lots of Love

After his last brew, and actually on the tail end of while it was still being enjoyed, Rob (a.k.a. StubbornMan) mentioned that he was brewing a bitter. Having rushed to get clean bottles back to him so he could bottle everything on time, I was anxious to taste another example of a bitter. I gave him plenty of 22 oz. "bombers" this round of filling so he wouldn't have to collect as many (and I figured that would mean more home brewed beer for me, HA!). With every chance I have to try one of his brews, I get closer and closer to buying my own set of home brewing equipment to give it a try myself.
From BeerAdvocate: "The Bitter style came from brewers who wanted to differentiate these ales from other mild brews, enter pale malts and more hops. Most are gold to copper in colour and are light bodied. Low carbonation. Alcohol should be low and not perceived. Hop bitterness is moderate to assertive. Most have a fruitiness in the aroma and flavor, diacetyl can also be present. These are traditionally served cask conditioned, but many breweries have bottled versions."
I don't think he has a name for it yet, but that doesn't matter… Lets just cut to the chase, shall we? [Read more…]

My Celebrity Buddies: We're Just Friends.
Jeremiah is convinced that if I like an actor or musician it means that I want to sleep with that person. I don't ever think about all the different sexual things I would do to the famous people I like (I'm assuming automatically connecting sexual acts with members of the opposite sex is a common thing? What's wrong with you people?), I rather think about how awesome it would be to hang out with them.
Here are some of my famous 'friends'-
Dennis Quaid. I think Jeremiah is suspicious that I have a crush on him. But to set Jeremiah's fears to rest, having sex with Mr. Quaid is not on the list of things I would like to do with him. Playing ping pong is. Can you imagine how fun it would be to play ping pong with Dennis Quaid? He has such an awesome laugh and a enigmatic smile. I'm all about smiles. Oh AND Cranium. I bet Dennis Quaid would be an excellent Cranium partner!
Crispin Glover. Ok. I know he's creepy. But if you look back throughout your childhood and teenage years, some of your best and most loyal friends were probably also a bit creepy. I saw Crispin on Chelsea Lately the other night and though it was an uncomfortable encounter, I saw definite potential in him as a bud. He's definitely a video gaming friend! Or! Even better! A karaoke video gaming friend. I think I nailed that one down perfectly.
Ben Folds. I know, I know. I talk about him a bit. He would definitely be the type of friend you'd go on bike rides with. When you took a break from the bike rides you could wax philosophic about your childhoods, your historical theories about Hitler or the existence of Giants in Ancient Gaul, he'd be thoughtful and make fun of you at the same time.
Marlon Brando. I know Brando died in July of 2004, I've just always felt that he would have been a friend of mine. Sure, he seemed tortured, self absorbed, kind of ego maniacal in nature...but I can see beyond all of that. He'd fly you to some beach, but you wouldn't be afraid he was trying to get in your pants...I have a feeling he'd screwed himself out of commission by the time I was born. He'd talk about his amazing life, the movies he's made, the people he has known and the tragedies he's experienced. He wouldn't listen to a word you would say in response, he would just go on and on and on. And I know I would love every second of it, how about you?
Falcor. You have to believe me on this one, right Jeremiah? I would not want to have sex with Falcor from The Neverending Story. I would, however, want him to fly me all over the world, perched high atop his glorious white and scaly back. FALCOOOORRRRRRRRRR!
Gabriel Byrne. I heard him tell a story about a huge scar he has on his right side on some late night talk show. He said he was in some dive bar on the coast in Ireland and got in a brawl with a bunch of sailors. Whoever was interviewing him said something like, 'I guess you lost the fight.' Gabriel Byrne looked at the interviewer completely seriously and said, 'You should have seen the other guys.' So that right there explains why he would be a good friend. He'll take a shiv for you in a bar fight and keep on going at it! Plus, he's Irish.
If you enjoyed this post and it's pop-culture-ness, check me and the other writers at SPROCKET INK. We're here to amuse. And not just because 80% of us are kind of weird looking.

this is the first time i've ever noticed the similarities between falcor and my old pup, kosmo (seen here).
it's uncanny, actually.

Okay, Jeremiah knows about TV Boyfriends, right? Because long-together people have 'em and are able to laugh about 'em. For the record, last summer during the Tour de France I announced to my Dear Old Person (to whom I've been married more than 20 years)that bike racer Fabian Cancellara was my TV boyfriend. This meant I thought he was cute. It meant he might be my Gabriel Byrne (though admittedly less cranial). And because we have been together so long, he rolled his eyes indulgently and laughed. Jeremiah should laugh. It's so obvious that you love him as deep as the road is long.
Love, love.

I knocked Tom Cruise down in a bar in moab, his bodyguards are scary.
I get quizzed all time about actress types, and honestly.
I would rather ride falcor.

You're too damn cute! Ping pong? PERFECT! Cranium? So fluffy I'm gonna die!
I'd be all like Honey from Notting Hill if Drew Barrymore walked into the store I work at.

Danny Trejo returns to the world of Machete Cortez in Robert Rodriguezs new sequel, Machete Kills. Jessica Alba (Santana Rivera) and Michelle Rodriguez (Luz) also return for the second time. Joining them are Mel Gibson (Luther Voz), Demian Bichir (Mendez), Amber Heard (Miss San Antonio), Sofia Vergara (Madame Desdemona), Charlie Sheen or Carlos Estevez (President Rathcock), Vanessa Hudgens (Cereza), and Alexa Vega (Killjoy). Playing El Camaleon are Walton Goggins, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas.
Simply put, Machete Kills is violently funny and cartoonishly provocative! Much like the first one! This time, our favorite vigilante must work with the U.S. government to take down an intriguing nemesis.
I sat down with Trejo and Vega (yes, the Spy Kids girl is all grown-up now!) to talk about the movie (see interview below). Here are some of our highlights:
*** Why return to the world of Machete Cortez?
*** What made Vega want to join the cast?
*** The fantastic and surreal weapons used in the movie
*** Sword fighting with William Wallace aka Mel Gibson
*** Why do actors line up to work with Robert Rodriguez
Have fun!

Alfonso Cuaron makes his first full-feature film after 7 years. His last movie was 2006s Children of Men. In Gravity, he co-wrote the script with his son, Jonas, to come up with the intriguing tale about a medical engineer (Sandra Bullock) and an astronaut (George Clooney) who must work together to survive an accident that leaves them floating in space. The film is getting major Oscar buzz but is it worth all the hype? Take a look at my review (with interviews with Bullock and Cuaron) of Gravity.
[ 21 comments ] ( 1223 views ) | permalink | ( 3 / 925 )
I love, love, love Sandra Bullock! Shes one of the few, big-name stars who reached out and gave both of her hands to shake mine. Shes a humble, down-to-earth human being and thats why good karma keeps on giving! In Gravity, the star is poised for another Best Actress Oscar nomination (its a tough call between her and Cate Blanchett from Blue Jasmine), and perhaps a win! Bullock single-handedly carried the film from start to finish with a little help from George Clooney, of course! She adds gravitas to the movie!
In the movie, Bullock stars as Dr. Ryan Stone, an engineer on her first shuttle mission. But things go awry.
Writer/director Alfonso Cuaron created an eye-popping film with emotional weight! Gravity opens nationwide on Oct. 4th, go watch it!
In this interview, we talked about:
*** She loves whiz bangs!
*** The films deep emotional pull
*** What got her interested in making Gravity?
*** What was the most daunting task of bringing the character to the forefront?
*** How George Clooney helped shape the big reveal?
*** Her breathing is another character in the movie!
*** Why she said, were all gonna be hit with sh&t!
*** What she wants people to do after watching the movie!
Have fun!

Alfonso Cuaron is one of those rare directors who can jump from genre to genre and does not miss a beat! From drama with Y Tu Mama Tambien, to fantasy with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (he changed the tone and course of the Harry Potter saga), to dystopian sci-fi thriller with Children of Men, Cuaron is consistent in becoming this generations cinematic storyteller. Now, with the upcoming Gravity, Cuaron challenges himself and his crew (and cast Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) to create a visually compelling movie that has a lot of emotional weight. But wait, theres more, he teamed up with J.J. Abrams to come up with a new TV show that will blow your mind, the upcoming NBC series, Believe.
In this interview, we talked about:
*** How he broke technical and creative boundaries to create Gravity
*** It took him 4 ½ years to make the movie!
*** What was his interest in making Gravity?
*** The metaphorical possibilities of space outer space is also the inner space of the characters
*** The films theme you have to go through adversities to be reborn
*** The films central female character rarely seen in this genre
*** Nurturing with Mother Earth in the background
*** Working with J.J. Abrams in NBCs Believe
Have fun!

Leave it to James Franco! The prolific actor/director has created a new feature film about the last day in the life of "Rebel Without A Cause" star Sal Mineo from a script by Stacey Miller.
The film is called "Sal" and is set to premiere on-demand on Oct. 22nd with a debut at the Sundance Sunset Cinema in Los Angeles on Nov. 1st. Val Lauren (who also appeared in Franco's "Interior. Leather Bar.") stars in the title role.
Franco stars as Milton Katselas in the movie. Katselas was an American director and producer, as well as a Hollywood acting instructor and coach.
Just in 2013 alone, Franco has made "As I Lay Dying," "Interior. Leather Bar," "Child of God," and "Venice 70: Future Reloaded." On top of that, the actor has also appeared in "Spring Breakers" (fantastic performance, I might add), "Oz The Great and Powerful," "This is the End," and "Palo Alto."
What a busy guy! Here's the trailer for "Sal," which incidentally, looks intriguing even with its own indie sensibilities.

Fifteen brilliantly potted biographies of the Renaissance era's most creative and vivid figures, fascinating individuals who embody the hopes, discoveries, and struggles of an age that gave birth to the modern world. Their stories make us see anew the profound transformations of an entire era that took for its name a word meaning "rebirth."
A companion volume to a PBS TV series, this collection of biographies examines the lives of 15 Renaissance personages and their accomplishments in relation to the enormous social upheavals that took place from the mid-1300s to the mid-1600s. Rabb ( The Struggle for Stability in Early Modern Europe ) has combined excellent scholarly research with splendidly crafted writing to provide accounts of both well-known and obscure Renaissance figures. Each life story highlights one facet of the transformations in religion, philosophy, the arts and the sciences that took place during this era. Theologian Jan Hus (1370?-1415) represents religious dissent; painter Titian (1487?-1576) and astronomer and physicist Galileo (1564-1642) were symbolic of the changing views of art and science; and the life of Gluckel of Hameln (1646-1724), a female Jewish merchant, reflects the economic revolution taking place. Enlightening and accessible. Illustrated. (Jan.)
