I Love Panto - Oh No You Don't!
Pantomime is a uniquely British tradition with a history stretching back over 100 years. It features on many peoples' 'to do' list, and gives those with children an excuse to indulge in a bit of escapism and joviality, although unaccompanied adults have also occasionally been spotted in the audience at Panto productions! Children's favourite stories such as Aladdin, Puss in Boots, Cinderella and Peter Pan are perennial panto favourites.

A Look at Heroines in Epic Fantasy
In the early days of epic fantasy women were often characterized as damsels in distress and nothing more than window dressing for heroes to rescue. This didn't last long as a host of writers created memorable female characters that were skilled swords women, capable world conquerers, and adventurers in their own right - yet still alluring. This article introduces you to some of the best heroines that have appeared in epic fantasy over the past several decades.

Jane Austen's Sardonic Wit
There are times when I think Jane Austen and her character Lizzie Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) are more similar than one might at first think. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane reveals instances of caustic observations and remarks (aimed at provoking a few gleeful snickers) which are reminiscent of Miss Bennet, and almost downright nasty. Jane was not only a family wit, however, but subscribed to THE " family wit" - the justification behind the tongue-in-cheek observations that we...

A Brave New World Discovered - Touring, Reading, Studying, Discussing And Exploring the USA
I had the opportunity of deepening my understanding of U.S. society, culture, and values through examining contemporary American Literature amongst other scholars from 16 countries from all over the world in 2006. We were a varied group unified by our varying levels of interest in American literature. But then we realized, the diversity of the American landscape as well as mindscape and saw the need for the re-definition of contemporary American literature to include those...

Passing On The Tradition of Service in a Think Tank
Perhaps you have traced your ancestry and discovered that you have some public servants, military generals or famous politicians in your family tree. Maybe you have some industrial capitalists in there some where as well. If you do indeed have some strong family names with a lot of history behind them, shouldn't you do the family name some honor?

Equiano Working Towards Acquiring his Freedom
Having been acquired by Robert King, a Quaker merchant from Philadelphia who traded in the Caribbean, Equiano was set to work on King's shipping routes and in his stores. In 1765 King promised him that for forty pounds, the price he had paid for Equiano, Equiano could buy his freedom. King taught him to read and write more fluently, educated him in the Christian faith, and allowed Equiano to engage in his own profitable trading as well as on his master's behalf, enabling Equiano to...

John Looser Builds Extreme Birdhouses
John Looser doesn't make houses for big birds, he makes really big bird houses. The largest "condominium birdhouse" so far has been 9 feet across and had 70 bird apartments. Yup, that's 70 pairs, mind you, of birds and their babies. And because of the way he mounts the houses, they look like they've actually been carved out of or built on top of trees. That's quite a monstrous nest. John sets a post 4 feet into the ground, then mounts the birdhouse...
