Farage on Friday: EU referendum is our modern day Battle of Britain
I'VE lived nearly all my life in the shadow of Biggin Hill, the most celebrated fighter station of the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Nigel Farage since a young age has been fascinated by the Battle of Britain
As children we would scour the woods and often find pieces of planes, empty cannon shells and we even once brought an unexploded incendiary bomb home, much to my mother's displeasure.
Every year there was a Battle of Britain display at Biggin Hill and I met and bought books from many of the heroic pilots. The stories of 'the few' absolutely fascinate me.
I was delighted one day to discover by chance, in a nearby village, a grave of a 46 year old RAF officer who had won the George Cross.
Strangely, his name did not appear in an otherwise excellent book called Biggin on the Bump.
I researched Squadron Leader Moxey and discovered that he had flown Sopwith Camels on the western front in the First World War.
He volunteered for active service again in the Second World War, but was deemed too old to fly and so became a bomb disposal officer who died on the air field attempting to disarm a German bomb.
I am pleased to say that he is in the second edition of the book.
A RAF flypast with three Spitfires and two Hurricaines marks the Battle of Britain 75th anniversary
The battle marked a turning point in that it stopped a German invasion that undoubtedly would have crushed us
My further interest in this battle is that my school Dulwich College produced 13 pilots who were among 'the few'. A pretty remarkable achievement for one school.
Now only a couple of dozen of 'the few' remain, soon there will be none.
If anybody wants to read, what I think, is the most gripping account of a teenager fighting in the Battle of Britain from Biggin Hlll, they should buy a copy of Geoffrey Wellum's 'First Light'.
Pages turn fast, and the atmosphere he generates is electric.
As we all know the battle marked a turning point in that it stopped a German invasion that undoubtedly would have crushed us.
A man holds a Greek flag during an anti-austerity rally in Athens
I can quite understand that in the 1950s there were many that thought that if a means could be found to prevent conflict between nations it must be pursued.
Certainly Edward Heath's wartime experience convinced him of this aim.
However, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions.
And the European project's architects mistakingly believed that by abolishing nation states and forming a larger bloc there would be peace, love and harmony forever.
We can now see that the major problem with this idea is that none of the citizens of the countries involved were ever asked.
You cannot form a federal state without the consent of its peoples. What I have seen in the last two weeks in Brussels and Strasbourg is a return of some of the old enmities.
The Greeks are now openly disobliging about the Germans and those feelings are reciprocated.
I'm not for one moment pretending that we're about to have another European war. But I do see a Europe of huge disharmony and social disruption.
I believe, though many will criticise me for this, that in many ways this referendum on EU membership is our modern day Battle of Britain.
It's about about reclaiming the very principles that were fought for seventy-five years ago.
If we succeed, not only will our country be a free, self-governing democracy but I believe the rest of Europe will follow too. It is a high prize.

Beautiful Morgan D'Amici wakes in her meager home with blood under her fingernails. Paintings come alive under Ondine Mason's violet-eyed gaze. Haunted runaway Nix Saint-Michael sees halos of light around people doomed to die.
At a secret summer rave in the woods, these teenagers learn of their true origins and their uncertain, intertwined destinies. Riveting, unflinching, and beautiful, Betwixt shows a world as complex and compelling as any ordinary reality.
I wonder to myself, how could I have never heard of this novel before? Betwixt was released in 2007, somehow I wasn't given the memo!! I found Tara's book online. The story had a very mysterious and intriguing appeal to it. After I had contacted Tara she so kindly went above and beyond and mailed me the novel all the way from Germany! I can't express to her my deepest gratitude and appreciation in doing so.
Of all the characters in the story, I believe my favorites would have to be Nix, K.A., Ondine & Moth.
Nix I think I liked because of our mutual Native American heritage. There also seems to be a sense of aloofness, yet hidden maturity that he doesn't find the most convenient ways to use for his benefit. K.A. just was such a cute character. The whole little brother aspect, his genuineness and ability to see the good in almost everyone. Ondine was just a mystery for me, even up until the end. Moth was a very weird character. There were so many things about him that just weren't right. Yet when it comes down to it, he is one of the more appealing, stand-out characters throughout the novel, for me! I would like to say I liked Morgan. At first I did. As the novel progressed she took a downward spiral in my top fav's.
This book was simply unparalleled (sp?) to any prior YA novels I've read, when it comes to the way the characters speak. The speech was written with such precision- in that you can read the book and in reality hear teenagers and kids talk with the exact phrases and mannerisms she (Tara) has written. In part one things slowly began to roll and you know you're set for a big adventure. Although the feeling of adventure in part one was small, it was known.
Part two catapulted into that adventure without hitting the brakes. If a book could get a speeding ticket, Betwixt should. The adventure was one that I very happily didn't expect. (It wasn't predictable...in any sense!) Part three was more of a clarification of Nix & Ondine's circumstances. Part four was almost like a preparation for an unforseen but possible battle? As for part 5, I was so intent and enthralled in finding out what happens next. Besides, it's the last section of the book it's not fair to give the "ending" away. This is definitely another book, hands down, that I can't wait to start the sequel.
Favorite quotes:
"They'd never had jobs. They didn't know what five hours of wiping steamed milk off every conceivable flat surface, including the ceiling, felt like. Cleaning toilets stuffed with tampons, making a macchiato four times for an eleven-year-old punk and his yuppie Medusa of a mother because he 'hadn't gotten it the way he likes it at home.' Spoiled brats."
"Neither brother and sister, nor Romeo & Juliet, but lovers all the same. It was as if they had found their other half, the wing that allowed each to fly."
"Yes, Dorothy, there are good witches. And bad witches. And ones who are fucked up."

Props for the President at His State of the Union Address
Jan 26, 2010, 02:01 ET
NEW YORK, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama will need several props to get him through his first State of the Union address, including lifejackets, a box of teabags, a paper shredder, and a new "No Fly" list. Here's why:
"The President should begin the address by taking the 2,074 page Senate health bill and stuffing it into a paper shredder. Then he should promise the public a 20-page bill in plain, honest English," says Betsy McCaughey, a critic of the current health legislation. "Twenty pages should be enough," says McCaughey. "The framer of the Constitution established the entire federal government in just eighteen pages." The public is outraged over the backroom deals, payoffs, and deliberately inscrutable language hidden in the 2,074 pages.
In the last year, tea partiers have delivered a clear message that the President needs to embrace in his speech: Don't let big government take our wealth and freedom away. They understand that the more of a country's goods and services are consumed by government, the fewer choices are left for individuals and families to make. In France, well over 50% of GDP is taken by government. In Britain, government's take of GDP is soaring perilously to that same level. Americans don't want to be Europeanized. They didn't want it in 1773, when they threw the tea overboard, and they don't want it today. Obama better show that he gets the message. No more stimulus bills, no new middle class entitlements for retirement and college, and no new taxes.
National security is an American president's top responsibility, and this President needs to make up for his delayed and tepid response to the near-tragedy aboard a commercial jet on Christmas Day over Detroit. Under the federal policy in place then, nearly all known or suspected terrorists are allowed on flights. Less than 1% of the 540,000 or so names on the suspected terrorist lists are put on the "no fly" list, and less than 3% even have to undergo additional screening before boarding a plane. "That means you and I are unknowingly sharing flights with these dangerous people, and we don't even have the choice to get off the plane," says McCaughey. The top goal should be to identify terrorists and keep them off planes with a new, highly inclusive "No Fly" list.
And the lifejackets? The President should be ready to toss them to fellow Democrats in Congress. He may not mind being a one-term president, but many Democratic members of Congress are worried about their re-elections because of Obama's radical policies.

Viet Nam, RoK sign free trade pact
Viet Nam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) have officially signed a free trade agreement (FTA) after over two years of negotiations, which will help Viet Nam's exports to enjoy new opportunities thanks to strong commitments from the RoK to open its market.
The transparent and open legal environment created by the FTA is also expected to encourage investment from the RoK in Viet Nam, alongside high technology, advanced management capacity and opportunities to approach third-party markets.
With 17 chapters, 208 articles, 15 appendices and one agreement specifying commitment delivery, the deal was signed by Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang and RoK Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Yoon Sang-jick in Ha Noi yesterday. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung witnessed the signing ceremony.
The agreement covers commodity and service trade, investment, intellectual property, food hygiene and plant quarantine, rules of origin, customs facilitation, trade protection, technical barriers in trade, e-commerce, competition, economic co-operation and legal regulations.
Under the agreement, the RoK will help Viet Nam to develop and enforce policies and competitiveness in agro-forestry-fisheries, electronic technology, petrochemical and oil refineries and support industries.
The Viet Nam – RoK FTA is expected to have positive repercussions across Viet Nam, including generating jobs, especially for low skilled labourers, and reducing poverty and hunger in rural areas.
The two countries will proceed with the ratification of the agreement following the legal system in each country.
PM meets RoK minister
On the same day, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung met with RoK Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Yoon Sang-jick.
Dung appreciated the efforts made by the two delegations and said the agreement would promote the relationship between the two countries across economics, trade, investment and tourism.
Co-operation was vital to the smooth and effective implementation of the agreement, he said.
He hoped the RoK would provide technical support for Viet Nam in the implementation of the agreement and create favourable conditions for Vietnamese agro-products to enter the RoK market and reduce the widening RoK surplus.
The co-operation potential between the two countries was still very large, the PM said, adding that the Vietnamese government attached importance to the relationship and was willing to work with the RoK government to deepen the relationship, making it more practical and effective for the benefit and development of both countries.
He also asked both countries to work together to accelerate the tech start-up park project in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho.
The RoK minister said that the signing of the agreement was the result of great efforts by the two delegations under the direction of the two governments.
He committed to working closely with the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade to promote trade exchange, especially exports of Vietnamese agro-products to the RoK and the implementation of the tech start-up park in Can Tho.
The RoK is currently the biggest investor in Viet Nam with pledges totalling US$38 billion in more than 42,000 projects as of March 2015, according to government data. The two countries target $70 billion in trade by 2020. The 2014 figure hit $30.3 billion.

text: Went up to Strawberry to observe the river residence and the DNR facility where the egg harvest is done. Unfortunately no harvest was done on this day but facility was opened for viewing the brilliant color of the fish. I saw a couple of brutes that could be near if not a new record swimming around but its a hard judgement to call. There are 6 pens, 2 of which holding males and 4 for females. There are more males vs female. For every 10 females eggs harvested 2 males are for fertilizing. Both Strawberry & Flaming Gorge are the primary supply of Kokanee to be stocked in Utah. The quota fill harvest has been filled this year. Each female holds an average of 1200 eggs.

The remains were identified as belonging to George Owen Smith, who went missing at the school in 1940. Right: Glen Varnadoe is overcome with emotion as he speaks at his uncle Thomas Varnadoe's funeral in November, 2014. Thomas died while a ward of the state of Florida at the Florida School for Boys in 1934 and was buried in an unmarked grave. Researchers from the University of South Florida located his remains and were able to return them to his family. Varnadoe estimates he spent $200,000 of his own money trying to locate Thomas' remains.

Nishat Bagh, considered to be second only to the royal Shalimar Gardens in size and significance, is found on the eastern side of the Dal Lake in the vicinity of Srinagar within the Vale of Kashmir.
Nishat Bagh ("Garden of Joy," "Garden of Gladness," "Garden of Delight,") is reputed to be the work of Nur Jahan's elder brother, Asaf Khan. Although it was not commissioned by a Mughal emperor, and therefore not a royal garden, its beauty received wide attention, including from the emperor himself.
There is a story highlighting the garden's magnificence: when
Shah Jahan visited the Nishat Bagh in 1633, he was much taken by its splendor. He told Asaf Khan how much he admired the garden on three subsequent occasions, expecting to be offered the Nishat Bagh as a gift. He was disappointed; Asaf Khan remained silent. In his displeasure, Shah Jahan ordered the water supply to Nishat (which was supplied by the same source as the royal Shalimar Bagh), cut off. The garden remained dry and desolate until one of Asaf Khan's servants disobeyed the imperial orders and restored the water supply. The imperial court, and the servant himself, were left in surprise when Shah Jahan received this news positively, going so far as to express his admiration for the servant's act of devoted service and then granting Asaf Khan the official right to draw water from the garden's source.
Nishat Bagh is an adaptation of the traditional Persian chahar bagh (four gardens). The chahar bagh takes its inspiration from the Quranic description of heaven as having four rivers, of wine, honey, milk, and water. The traditional chahar bagh is uniformly shaped, with a water source in its center and four (chahar) radiating streams which divide the garden (bagh) into four sections.
Similar to other gardens in the Dal Lake region, Nishat Bagh is not located on flat ground. The typical chahar bagh design had to be altered to fit the site's topography, as the source of water shifted from the traditional center of the square garden to the highest point of the garden. In this manner, one axial stream is emphasized and the other streams were minimized or even removed from the design. The garden is rectangular in shape, 544 meters long by 329 meters wide, and is oriented east-west; its eastern side is higher in elevation, and its western side touches the edge of Dal Lake.
As Nishat Bagh was not an imperial garden, its design was less hierarachical than royal Mughal gardens. It is divided into only two sections, the public pleasure garden and the private zenana (harem, or women's) garden. When the garden was created, the zenana garden was used by the women of Asaf Khan's household.
Within the two sections, the garden has twelve terraces, each related to a zodiac sign. The terraces begin from the public street level, which connects the garden's water stream to Dal Lake, and the twelfth terrace is located in the zenana garden. However, the early continuity of the first terrace was disturbed when the first terrace was later turned into a road.
A central water stream, nearly 4 meters wide and 20 centimeters deep, flows down from the top of the garden through a channel decorated with fountains and occasionally divided into fountain pools. Chadars, stone ramps engraved with wave patterns to render the flowing water more beautiful, transfer water between the various terraces. In several places, stone benches cross the axial water stream near a chadar, and serve as seating platforms for the visitor's enjoyment. The garden was originally planted with cypress and fruit trees.
The Nishat Bagh is best approached by water taxi from Dal Lake. On the first terrace (street level), the visitor finds a pool collecting water from a water chute that emerges from the garden's enclosure wall. Entering through the wooden gates to the second terrace, one finds a pool with five fountains that receives water from the third terrace and delivers it to the first terrace pool. The water chute on the third terrace is on top of a wall projection with five arched wall niches on its front side and one arched niche on either side.
A two-storey wooden baradari (pavilion) was originally located atop this projection, but was later removed to improve the view. Moving up to the third terrace via one of the two side staircases, the visitor would find a square pool (formerly located under the removed baradari) containing five fountains.
Progressing further east (upwards) along the axial water channel, one sees two small chadars between the two staircases (each with four treads) leading to the fourth terrace. The fourth terrace contains two levels: the first holds the water channel, and the second contains a small square pool with one fountain. A small chadar connects the water channel to the pool. A larger chadar, flanked by a staircase with seven treads, leads up to the fifth terrace. Right above the large chadar, a stone bench/viewing platform straddles the water channel. The fifth terrace begins with a square pool containing five fountains.
Similar to the fourth terrace, the sixth terrace also has two levels; however, its fountain pool has five fountains, compared to one on the fourth level.
Like the fifth terrace, the seventh terrace also begins with a pool of five fountains and ends with a small chadar that rises to the eighth terrace. At the beginning of the eighth terrace, one sees only the axial water channel; at the end of the eighth terrace, one sees the chadar rising to the next level, capped by an octagonal bench.
A set of two staircases takes the viewer to the ninth terrace.
The ninth terrace begins with the axial water channel, which leads to a large pool decorated with nine fountains. A large chadar, capped by a large octagonal bench, delivers water into this fountain pool from the tenth level. From the ninth terrace, the visitor can access the tenth terrace via stairs on side of the retaining wall. The tenth terrace contains no pools, but rather only the axial water channel decorated with fountains. An engraved chadar rises up to the eleventh terrace, where the viewer is greeted with a pool containing twenty-five fountains, fed by the chadar leading to the twelfth terrace.
On the eleventh level, one faces the retaining wall of the twelfth terrace, a 5.5-meter-high wall with blind arches. The wall marks the beginning of the private zenana garden on the twelfth level, which is accessed through a staircase in one of the arches. The zenana level is densely planted, containing a two-story baradari. Two small octagonal towers flank the retaining wall of the zenana terrace, looking down onto the eleventh level.
It is noteworthy that the Nishat Bagh has historically received attention from several provincial governors. At the time of the Maharaja Ranbir Singhji (1830-1885), the Nishat Bagh was restored, and the baradari on the third terrace removed. Today, Nishat Bagh is a public park.

March 2015 dawns here bright and sunny. Only three days to go until this year's festival launches and there was a real buzz amongst the StAnza team and volunteers at our pre-festival meeting yesterday in St Andrews. And we've news on a new event and some information about a couple of small programme changes.
One of this year's festival themes is on islands, and we're also teaming up with Green Week in St Andrews. At last year's climate change summit at the UN, a poet from the Marshall islands read a poem about the threat to small islands from rising sea levels, so in solidarity for those at risk from this and as a surprise additional short event, from 12.40pm to 12.50pm at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews on 7th March, we too shall read a poem about the threat to small islands from rising sea levels and some of the islands at risk. This new event is scheduled not to clash with any other ticketed events and will only last 10 minutes, in the Byre garden if the weather is fine, otherwise in the theatre.
Here are a couple of small updates on events in the programme. We're glad to say that the delay in publication of the new Luath Press anthology, Like Leaves in Autumn, will not affect the planned event on Saturday 7th March. It's a free event with wine kindly donated by the Italian Cultural Institute in Edinburgh, and the editors of Like Leaves in Autumn and a selection of the poets who feature in it will be reading poems from the book.
Also on 7th March, for those looking forward to our Saturday morning Past & Present event, this will feature readings of selected Russian poetry from the past two centuries from poet and translator Peter Daniels and Boris Dralyuk, co-editor of the new Penguin Book of Russian Poetry. Alas Robert Chandler will not now be able to join them or the many poets, performers and artists – well over 100 by now – not to mention the publishers, translators, editors and other festival directors who are packing their bags and getting ready to head for St Andrews. Some of the furthest travelled are already on their way and I hope you will be here as well. If you still need to book your festival tickets, you can do so online or by telephoning 01334 475000. If you haven't yet booked your accommodation, check out our accommodation page and if you're looking for information on how to get here, see our travel page.


text: Although we have already received over 100 applications for my office team's Front Desk/Constituent Services Specialist opening, additional submissions are still welcome. Details here. Applications received by 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 7 will be considered first. Please be sure to include a cover letter telling me why you want to work with my staff and me, and a resume that includes your current and past volunteer community service.

Itandje wants Reds start
Liverpool's new goalkeeper Charles Itandje has vowed to put pressure on Anfield first-choice Jose Reina.
By Peter Fraser
Last Updated: 18/08/07 2:45pm
French goalkeeper eyes No.1 spot
Liverpool's new goalkeeper Charles Itandje has vowed to put pressure on Anfield first-choice Jose Reina.
The former France Under 21 international recently joined the Reds after having been forced down the pecking order at Lens.
Reina is the current No.1 at Liverpool and Itandje is aware of the Spaniard's standing, but he intends to make his new team-mate work hard.
"At Liverpool there is a very good keeper who has been there three years," Itandje told L'Equipe.
Big club
"I am clearly going to be No.2. But, there are 60 matches a season and it is planned that I will play the League Cup and FA Cup.
Itandje has revealed he snubbed La Liga new boys Almeria, where he was offered a starting XI role, in favour of Liverpool.
"I could have signed in Spain with Almeria, as No.1, but I didn't choose the easy way," he added.
"I preferred to join a very big club. It is up to me to create a doubt in the coach's mind.
The former Lens man has also set his sights on earning a place in the France national team.
"My objective remains L'Equipe de France. I am not saying that I already see myself in blue, but I am thinking of it." Itandje concluded.

So what's the story morning glory?
In a most dashing way, this issue of Daredevil – called 'Bruiser Beatdown!' – is a three-strand story with a couple of questions pitched in at the end for panache.
Part One – A WATERY QUANDARY – Criminal Mastermind, Mr Zachary, thinks that he has it all. His henchman, Bruiser, has disposed of Daredevil, by throwing him in the sea, and he has managed to capture the blind interpreter, Austin Cao, as well. Plus, in addition to this, Mr Zachary has Randall in his clutches, whilst holding court with five different crime representatives upon a submarine.
Who can stop him now?
Part Two – A BATTLE WITH BRUISER – Now you just cannot keep a good blind-lawyer down, especially when the blind-lawyer in question is none other than Matt Murdock himself! And why is that? Well, in fine fashion, Daredevil saves himself from his submerged sticky situation, then he saves
and Randall, before he finally swaps slaps with Bruiser. Austin
Fair dues, none of this is an easy thing for him to do – but he finds a way.
Part Three – KNOWLADGE IS POWER – With the bad guys on the run, plus the good guy on the attack, what can make this situation even more sweater? Knowledge my friend, or to be more specific about it, a data disk Daredevil snatched from Mr Zachary, just before the 'five representatives of crime' kills this corporate kingpin and then allow his captors to get away.
Now – THE QUESTION'S – Will Austin like his new job working with Matt? Where will Randall go now that he is allowed to flee the country? And what will Matt do with the data disk which he has stolen from the crime syndicates?
What is the most memorable sentence spoken in this issue?
I liked the conversation between the two henchmen after Bruiser asks them for directions and Daredevil pops up.
Henchman One: He wants to fight the Hulk [referring to the Bruiser]
Henchman Two: The Hulk.
Henchman One: But he knows that he is not there yet, so he moves his way up the ranks one hitter at a time, learning all their tricks. Man, Bull, Ox, it's all on his web page.
Henchman Two: Web Page
Henchman One: Man has a dream. Who knows?
Pure vaudeville shtick – class.
Was the story any good?
Hell yes – Mark Waid does it again – and this time it comes across as if he's not even trying. Seriously, Marks Daredevil tale is so jaunty and relaxed in prose, it's as though he just jotted it down on a back of a napkin whilst he was at a burger joint.
Please note – this is not a slur by any stretch of the imagination. If anything, it is a complement as to how Mark just produces these very charming stories, which are just a joy to read.
And it is a story – one full of adventure and imagination, with a touch of humour too.
OK, please allow me to state for the record, that I do not have a problem with Marcos Martins art. It's fresh – its bold – and it has a simple quality about it, that is very modern looking overall.
However, where the colour pallet used on this book is concerted – err – I am no too sure really? On the one hand, I feel that Munsta Vincente's hues are too simple and child-like. Whilst, on the other hand, his pastel shades' do give an extra something to Marcos' work.
What do you chap and chap-ettes think?
What is the best thing about this issue?
I liked the conclusion myself – because I found that it was wrapped up very nicely, with hardly no 'additional business' thrown in for the sake of drama. Also, I did like the idea that Matt now has that data disk – thus making a very intriguing future. Plus, I am happy to see
join the legal ranks – I am sure that he will become a fine addition to the
team. Austin
What is the worst thing about this issue?
I did not really like the idea of the five crime bosses hanging around in their brightly coloured jump suits, all waiting to see who would win between Daredevil and Bruiser. OK, maybe it is just me, but I found this a bit too 'Austin Powers' within this tale, and it also made it appear as if they were part of the furniture – too staged.
If you could sum up this issue in a phrase or saying, what would that phrase or saying be?
To quote the seventies television / music combo, the Monkees, I would have to use the phrase 'I Am a Believer' as an appropriate saying for this tale.
If this issue were a movie, an object, or a piece of music, what would that be and why?
So this story is simple, cleaver, and vibrant, in its execution – plus – it involves a search and rescue ploy on a sub. Therefore, in my most humble estimation, I would have to say that this comic is – 'Austin Powers 3', correct? (click here for the review)
What do you think would have made this issue better than it was?
A free happy meal coupon for McDonalds? Nah – not McDonalds – maybe a Chinese restaurant – that would be nice.
Oh! This comic. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of Foggy in this issue – but never mind – I am sure I will see him next issue instead, huh?
Final thoughts...
I really enjoy the way that each issue of Daredevil seems to build up towards something else, because I find that this tactic really adds to the overall flow and style of Waid's narration. Moreover, I hope that some of the future projects could clarify what Matt's standing in the Marvel Universe is at the moment – because I am not really sure post 'Reborn'.
Marks out of 10? 9.5

With The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Dark Knight Rises all hitting the big screen this year, 2012 will undoubtedly go down in history as an epic year for all geekdom. But as much as I love the Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman franchises, I can't help but feel there's room for improvement with comic-book-to-film adaptations as a whole. And being a selfless cinephile, I'm offering free advice. I even persuaded the talented artists at the Comics Factory, based in Hollywood, Florida, to draw up a prototype. So what if it has my face? The rest is up to you, filmmakers of the future.
The Costume
Someone get on the phone with Andre Leon Talley, because there is a famine of beauty in the superhero costume department. For starters, it's time to lose the cape. This isn't the Ren fair. The only imposing figures who need swaths of cloth hanging from their necks are the santos at Hialeah botanicas.
Building a Better Superhero
We need a postmodern, deconstructionist outfit that is inspired and inspiring — think Rei Kawakubo meets Alexander McQueen. Let's not merely hint at the chiseled chest and pecs; lets show those babies off. And if you really want to intimidate your foes, wear anything ABBA donned in the '70s. Nothing is scarier than gigantic biceps wrapped in metallic polyester.
The Love Interest
Why shouldn't our ideal crime fighter be of the homosexual persuasion? After all, superheroes are muscular, wear tight clothing, and know how to make an entrance — doesn't that just scream gay to you? Hey, it worked for the Green Lantern.
The City
Maybe I'm biased. But on the list of cities just begging to be saved, Miami is at the top. And it's time comic fans had a superhero who lives in a colorful setting, some place practically lifted directly from the pages of a comic book. Doesn't Lincoln Road or Little Havana sound like a welcome change from the drab cityscapes of Gotham and Metropolis?
Plus, a superhero could enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle here, because he'd be truly inconspicuous. Would any real Miamian blink if he or she saw a pumped-up, bulged-out man in über-tight clothing dashing across town in a ridiculous sports car? Hell, that vision is one of the first things tourists encounter on the way from the airport to their hotel. And think of all the possible locations for his secret lair. It could be one of those big houses on Old Cutler Road that no one has ever been to. Or better yet, an underground hideout beneath the home-run sculpture at Marlins Park. Nobody wants to look at that thing, so slipping in and out unnoticed would be a snap.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Miami New Times's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Miami's stories with no paywalls.

The Hero
I've described the look, the love interest, the enemy, and the home base — the roadwork has been set. But it took a team of artists to bring our hero to life. Happily, that's exactly what the folks at the Comics Factory do every day: create studly comic-book versions of superhero geeks like me. The process starts at $99 and involves a week of waiting; all they need is a photo of you and an idea of the kind of hero you'd like to be. But if you want a Batman-ized drawing of yourself, you better act fast — graphic artist David Babich says demand swells with every new superhero movie release.
In a year like this, that means Miami could soon have all the heroes it can hold.

Company's life
Dec 26. 2018
How do we celebrate the New Year?
The New Year is slowly nearing, and we are starting to prepare to drink a bottle (or ten) of Champagne, to eat Slovak Cabbage Soup (or "Kapustnica" as it is called) and to celebrate this unique moment.
Where & how do we spend New Year's Eve?
New Year's Eve is a celebration during which we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the New Year. And with whom do we would celebrate this moment? With family and friends. Of course! Most of us spend the New Year's Eve with their friends in the pub or family at home. Where do you spend this evening?
What do we really enjoy about New Year's Eve?
Whether we are talking about Christmas or New Year's Eve, our answers are the same. In both cases, the best thing is the time spent with our family & friends. It's great to forget all the worries about school or work and just to do what we like the most and with whom we love the most.
Do we make New Year's resolutions?
New Year's resolutions are the perfect opportunity for all those who have failed to start making the changes that they said they would make next week, next month, or perhaps when winter starts. Only a few of us make a resolution, but at the end they often don't keep it. So, most of us don't worry about something like that and enjoy the beginning of the new year without a pressure. :)

Recipe for 100 % Phosphoric Acid
1) The ingredients and equipment you will need for this procedure are:
A: Ingredients needed:a. Four 500 gm. bottles of P2O5 (Phosphorous pentoxide).
b. 4300 gm. (~5/8ths of a 4 liter bottle) of 85% H3P04 (Phosphoric Acid).
c. 250 mg. Cr03 (Chromium trioxide).
d. 3 ml. of 30% H202 (Hydrogen peroxide).
B: Equipment needed:
a. 1 heater I stirrer (lower cabinet below the water chiller) and a large diameter glass magnetic stir bar (located in C514 in the cabinet next to the drying oven).
b. a glass encased (0-360C) thermometer. Note: Use a thermometer with the scale encased inside a glass sheath. The phosphoric acid will dissolve the scale markings on the thermometer if not protected.
c. two 4 liter clean glass beakers.
d. a scale to measure 4 kg. (Marine Analytical lab has a Mettler balance which measures to 2kg).
e. A cylinder of argon or nitrogen gas. Usually you can run an Argon tube from the mass spectrometer room argon cylinder.
f. a ring stand and three pronged clamp.
g. glass stir rod ~18" long.
h. aluminum foil.
i. thermally insulating tape ( Waletex 1" heat protective tape found in a drawer below the Dionex in C514).
j. Hydrometer (able to measure specific gravity = 1.92 g/cm3).
2) In the acids fume hood, set up a 4 liter beaker on a heater/stirring plate and add 4300 gm. of 85% H3P04 (Phosphoric Acid). Use the scale in the Marine Analytical lab to weigh. Since the scale only weighs to 2kg, you will need to weigh out three aliquots to get 4.3kg. Use a ring stand and a clamp and suspend the 0-360¡C thermometer into the beaker. Place the glass thermometer such that it will not be broken while adding and manually stirring in the Phosphorous Pentoxide during the next step.
3) Dissolve 2010 gm. of P205 in 4300 gm. of 85% H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid). Adjust glass magnet stir bar speed such that the magnet spinning and able to continue as the viscosity increases. Stir in P2O5 slowly allowing each bottle to be mostly dissolved before adding the next bottle. Initially adding heat will facilitate dissolution for the first bottles. However, be careful!, the reaction IS EXOTHERMIC! The temperature will rise to roughly 185C and then start cooling.
4) Once the P205 has completely dissolved, add about 250 mg. of Chromium trioxide (CrO3), as an oxidant to drive oxidize organic matter. Caution: Chromium oxide is a poison.
5) Cover the beaker in foil and insert the thermometer, which is held by the ring stand.
6) Heat the solution to 200 plus/minus 5¡C for seven hours (IMPORTANT STEP). Obey the timing and temperature requisites, the temperature should not get as high as 220C. The temperature will take time to reach 200C and will oscillate for many hours until it finally reaches equilibrium. This requires several hours of monitoring at intervals of every 15 minutes.
7) After the seven hours, add 3 ml. of 30% H202 and increase the temperature to 220C. Heat at 220C for four hours. Note: in order for the heater to raise the temperature to 220C it will be necessary to wrap the 4 liter beaker with Waletex heat insulating tape.
8) After 4 hours, cool the acid to room temperature while flowing argon or nitrogen gas on top of the surface. The breaker should still be covered with foil. This step can be left overnight.
9) Measure the specific gravity, which should read 1.90-1.92 g/cm^3 @25¡C if done correctly.
10) Store in sealed 250 ml containers, sealed with parafilm.
11) Optimally, the acid needs to age for about 60 days before it is usable.

Tips to make your money go further this summer!
Summer is a strange time of year. There are more long weekends between May and September than December and March, but the lighter evenings and warmer weather hits all of our wallets where it hurts. To make your money go further this summer, try a few of our tips and tricks to have maximum fun on a minimal budget!
Free festivals
As free spirited as most festivals are, most of them aren't free (or cheap for that matter). However, there are loads of local festivals that don't charge admission or ask for a small donation to help keep them going. They don't necessarily have big name headliners, but if you are into music and have a good crowd to go with they can be good fun. There are a few local festivals that do break the mould:
• Festival Too is a free event held in King's Lynn over a series of weekends. Headliners this year include Busted and KT Tunstall
• Feel Good Festival in Rochdale, Greater Manchester is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a performance by headline act Razorlight
Work for your music
If you want to get into some of the big festivals and be a part of the experience without paying, you can try volunteering.. Most of the main festivals including Creamfields, Reading & Leeds and Bestival work with stewarding companies who supply volunteers with tickets in exchange for litter picking, ticket scanning and numerous other tasks. A few hours labour for all the music you want. If this is music to your ears, then Festaff is a great website to try.
Holiday on the cheap
Are you thinking the only way you'll get a tan this summer is by lying on the communal garden patio? Think again. Holiday's don't have to cost the earth if you do them right. Ditch the travel agent and get online to find the best deal. There are great deals on flights, hotels and packages on Airbnb, Trivago, Student Universe and STA Travel.
House sit
One way to get some R & R in a foreign country is to house sit. Websites like Mind My House and Trusted House Sitters work to connect home owners with house or pet sitters who are willing to come and look after the house whilst the owners holiday. The best part is you get a holiday out of it too with all the comforts of home.
Stop coughing-up for your coffee
We are all spending too much on coffee. A latte for £3.75, a frappe for £4, it goes on. Do yourself a big favour, go out and buy a coffee press and a bag of ground coffee or capsules, or if you are feeling particularly lazy get it delivered to your door by a mail-order coffee company like Old Spike Roastery. The money you will save will add up so quickly. If you need to convince yourself you have made the right choice, get a jar and put all the money you would have spent on coffee in it – you'll be surprised how much you will save.
Happy hour at home
Another way to over pay for something you can do just as well yourself is going out drinking. Skip the trendy rooftop bars and overpriced clubs, and host your own drinks party. You can serve whatever you want and you don't have to have any awkward bar chats.
Invite your favourite crowd, put on your best tunes and create your own signature cocktail recipe. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out the Student Money Saver's list of cheap cocktails to spice-up your pre-drinks.

Wow, what is the deal? Seriously, first Bernie Mac now Issac Hayes. R.I.P. to the legend and pioneer Issac Hayes. Two legends in two days. We at The Cincinnati Monster.com send our condolences out to the family of Issac Hayes AND Bernie Mac. Wow, just wow.
Here's the scoop from AHH.
oul music icon Isaac Hayes was found dead in his Memphis home early Sunday morning (August 10).
The pioneering R&B singer was found laying on the floor near a tread mill in his home.
Hayes, 65, was rushed to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead, around 2:00 am.
One of the main creative forces behind soul music in the 60's and 70's, Hayes made his name as an in-house producer and songwriter for Stax Records with formidable partner David Porter.
He became a recording artist and released the influential albums Hot Buttered Soul (1968) andBlack Moses (1970).
The former featured the seminal "Walk On By," which has been sampled by numerous artists including the Notorious BIG ("Warning"), Tupac ("Me Against the World"), Faith Evans ("No Other Love"), and Compton's Most Wanted ("Hood Took Me Under)."
One of the most popular Hip-Hop anthems, The Geto Boys' 1991 classic single "Mind Playing Tricks On Me," was powered by Hayes' track "Hung Up On My Baby," from his 1974 album, Tough Guys.
The loss hit Geto Boys' founding member Scarface particularly hard.
"Wow, this is some cold news to get," a shaken Scarface told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. "I knew Isaac Hayes personally, I actually got a chance to go into the studio with him."
Scarface continued, saying, "'Mind Playing Tricks On Me' was originally my solo song. I wrote three verses. I wrote my verse and then Bill took my last verse. Then Willie D. wrote his verse. I produced that song. I can't believe this s**t. I been f**king with Black Moses forever. I grew up in a music household. That's all we jammed."
Also a respected film composer, Hayes earned an Academy Award for his work on Shaft (1971), which stands today as his most accomplished and well-known work.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of Isaac Hayes, a true historic world music figure. Isaac Hayes was the first African-American to win an Oscar for a music score but never lost sight of his commitment to his community and the betterment of mankind," Reverend Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, told AllHipHop.com. "He was more than an artist he was a trailblazer, He was an innovator. He was a creative genius. I shall never forget how in the height of his career he still had time to work and lend his celebrity to those of us much younger and at that time who were totally unknown. Even in his later years he never hesitated to appear for a cause or endorse something that he felt was for the good of mankind. He will be sorely missed."
Rev. Sharpton will dedicate his radio program tonight to Isaac Hayes at 9:00p.m. on KISS 98.7 FM in New York, where Isaac Hayes was the morning DJ in the late 90's.
As an actor, Hayes has appeared in over 20 films including Truck Turner(1974), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), Posse (1993), and Hustle and Flow (2005).
An important figure in Hip-Hop due to sampling, his songs such "The Look of Love" have provided the musical foundation for Jay-Z ("Can I Live"), LL Cool J ("Hollis to Hollywood"), Mary J. Blige ("I Love You") and many more.
"First condolences to Ike Dirty his son and his entire family," Atlanta rapper Killer Mike told AllHipHop.com referring to Hayes son and producer Ike Dirty. "Thank God we were blessed with his music and his incredible work. He truly made Soul music bare to the bone. I'm a better artist because of my mama playing his music."
In later years, he became known to a new generation of fans through the Comedy Central series South Park, where he voiced the role of the affable but raunchy Chef.
Hayes would leave the show in 2005 due to differences with the creators over their religious satire.
Hayes was scheduled to celebrate 50 years of Stax Records on Friday (August 15) at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, where he headlined a bill that included performances by William Bell, Eddie Floyd, The Bar-Kays.
Wow, this is the news that I wake up to. Bernie Mac dead, today. Black Hollywood truly lost one today. Wait a minute not just BLACK Hollywood but Hollywood period. Bernie Mac was the man. Hands down the funniest person ever. He was my favorite comic. Wow, I can't even write this. I'm really in total shock. I had read the reports that he was in the hospital because of (I know I'm not going to spell this right so don't judge) phenomonia. But, I ignorantly thought he was going to pull through. R.I.P. to the Mac Man. he had so many classic roles, to Kings of Comedy, to his own show. He was a pioneer and will truly be missed. Here's the report from AHH. Check it out.
Comedian Bernie Mac has died at the age of 50 after an extended bout with pneumonia, according to sources with AllHipHop.com.
Mac was in Northwestern Memorial hospital when he died on Saturday morning. No official cause of death has been announced by his family.
After rumors of his death, his condition seemed to improve. Mac's publicist stated that he was "responding well to treatment" and that he expected to leave the Chicago-area facility in a few weeks.
The family has reportedly convened at the Mac household.
He passed away at approximately 5:45 am on Saturday, according to sources.
"Bernie Mac will not only be missed by his family members and close friends, he will also be missed by the thousands of people he touch through his laughter. Please keep his family in your prayers," said Kendra G, a Chicago bred radio host that now resides in Philadelphia.
Mac also lived with sarcoidosis, an immune system disorder that results in swollen, inflamed lymph nodes, causes ulcers on the skin and also makes breathing difficult.
Representatives for Bernie Mac said previously that he was not hospitalized for complications associated with sarcoidosis.
"I've had sarcoidosis since 1983, and it has not altered or limited my lifestyle. No one knows where sarcoidosis comes from or where it starts, and there's no known cause for this condition that effects primarily minorities," Mac said in 2005.
Bernie Mac will be remembered for his brash, but frank comedic style that was a staple in the Black community. His on-stage musings quickly went mainstream through his television sitcom, "The Bernie Mac Show" and a storied music career.
Mac appeared in movies like "Who's the Man?" (1993), "House Party 3" (1994) and "The Walking Dead" (1995), Spike Lee's Get on the Bus (1996) and 1999's "Life" with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
The movie of "Ocean's Eleven" (2001) put him in a movie that catered to middle America.
Bernie Mac was born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough in Chicago in 1957. He was reared in a rough neighborhood with a large family that would eventually be the backbone to his comic routine. His professional career started in 1977, when he was 19, and he refused to alter his style to accommodate critics.
AllHipHop.com will continue to furnish details as they develop.
There is nothing "lucky" about Kelvin 3rd-Shift Brown. Luck is simply when hard work meets opportunity. No stranger to hard work Kelvin adopted the name 3rd-Shift as a metaphor of working when his competition sleeps. And, because of that his efforts are beginning to pay off. Kelvin 3rd-Shift Brown is a producer who is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. He began producing music at the age of 17. He began producing because the rap group he was in couldn't afford any beats. Brown fell in love with production so much; he stopped rapping and solely focused on music. He went to college and began to produce for several Midwest artists including: Akron, Ohio's Lil Bossy, Detroit, Michigan's Oba Rowland and began to send his music off to Damon Eden, then A&R for Atlantic Records. Damon liked his sound but not good enough to place him on any of his projects. Not taking one defeat to the heart, 3rd-Shift worked harder to hone his skills and master his craft. He relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana and transferred to Loyola University where he currently majors in Music Industry Studies. Instead of focusing on becoming an employee, 3rd-Shift wants to be the boss. In September 2007, 3rd-Shift formed his production company 7874 Productions to begin contracting work to outside artists. Multi-Platinum recording artist B.G. was the first artist to work with 3rd-Shift under his new company. After B.G. came the Chopper City Boyz, G-Eazy a fast rising independent artist from Oakland, California, 5th Child from Jackson, Mississippi and J-Leach from Long Island, New York. In the midst of building his own discography, Kelvin founded his own label 7874 Recordings in February 2008 and began to put his own records out. Through digital distribution he began selling his production mixtapes and started garnering a buzz online. His online distributor ranked 39th in their Top 100 selling songs. From his first production mixtape titled: The 3rd-Shift Project: Redefining the Remix, 3rd-Shift has amassed over 9,000 downloads of all of his songs. He was also ranked as a top label on EMUSIC.com another digital retailer. Becoming more and more independent from the conventional model of releasing records, Kelvin bought a domain THE CINCINNATI MONSTER.COM and began distributing his music through his own website truly becoming a worldwide beacon for Hip-Hop. Amassing over 1,600 a day, 3rd-Shift's blog has become one of the fastest growing blog on Word Press.com and cementing his credibility. Kelvin 3rd-Shift Brown is a new breed of music executive. Not relying on anyone to give him a break, he makes his own lanes and executes his own plans to the T. With a focus and a vision like his, the top is his only destination.
Back on Father's Day I released a track for FREE on THE CINCINNATI MONSTER.COM for all the people who were supporting my website. I was at 2,000 hits then. Now, I'm pushing close to 5,000. The track I released was "Lollipop 2.0" the remix I made for Lollipop with a teaser of Oba Rowland's new single DADDY in there, plus the verse from Kanye and the new one from Wayne. i released it to Amazon. And, it has become one of my most populare tracks on the digital retailer. Out of all the tracks currently being sold on Amazon.com Lollipop 2.0 is currently, 4,194. Pretty damn good considering the fact that Amazon is the #2 digital retailer behind Itunes. It's the fastest growing digital medium out there. If you don't have it download it from the FREE DOWNLOADS SECTION!!!!!!
G-Eazy's I'm Focused is now available in the FREE DOWNLOAD section of The Cincinnati Monster.com!

Babesiosis, 2012
Babesiosis is a malaria-like illness caused by the protozoan Babesia microti or other Babesia organisms. B. microti is transmitted to humans by bites from I. scapularis (the blacklegged tick or deer tick), the same vector that transmits the agents of Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, one form of human ehrlichiosis, and a strain of Powassan virus. Babesia parasites can also be transmitted by blood transfusion.
In 2012, 41 confirmed and probable babesiosis cases (0.77 per 100,000 population) were reported, a 43% decrease from the 2011 record of 72 cases. The median number of 29 cases (range, 9 to 72) reported from 2004 through 2012 is considerably higher than the median number of 2 cases (range, 0 to 7) from 1996 to 2003. Twenty-four (59%) babesiosis cases reported in 2012 were male. The median age of cases was 57 years (range, 1 to 82 years). Onsets of illness peaked in the summer months, with 22 (55%) of 40 cases with known onset occurring from June through August. In 2012, 18 (44%) cases were hospitalized for their infection, for a median duration of 5 days (range, 2 to 26 days). At least 1 reported case died from complications of babesiosis in 2012.

Sharp, Thomas (1693-1758) (DNB00)
SHARP, THOMAS, D.D. (1693–1758), biographer and theological writer, younger son of John Sharp [q. v.], archbishop of York, was born on 12 Dec. 1693. At the age of fifteen he was admitted of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1712, M.A. in 1716, and was elected to a fellowship. He became chaplain to Archbishop Dawes; prebendary of Southwell; a member of the Gentlemen's Society at Spalding; prebendary of Wistow in the church of York on 29 April 1719; rector of Rothbury, Northumberland, and archdeacon of Northumberland on 27 Feb. 1722–3 (Hutchinson, Durham, ii. 225). He was created D.D. at Cambridge in 1729. On 1 Dec. 1732 he was installed in the tenth prebend of the cathedral at Durham, and in 1755 he succeeded Dr. Mangey as official to the dean and chapter of that cathedral. He died at Durham on 16 March 1758, and was buried at the west end of the cathedral in the chapel called the Galilee. Portraits of Sharp are prefixed to his collected 'Works,' 1763, and his life of his father, 1825 (cf. Bromley).
He married, on 19 June 1722, Judith, daughter of Sir George Wheler [q. v.] (she died on 2 July 1757), and had fourteen children. His eldest son, John Sharp, D.D., was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, became a prebendary of Durham, archdeacon of Northumberland, vicar of Hartborne, perpetual curate of Bamburgh, and senior trustee of the estates of Nathaniel, lord Crewe, bishop of Durham, whose charities he was indefatigable in promoting; and died on 28 April 1792. His ninth son was Granville Sharp [q. v.], and another son, William, was a surgeon at Fulham.
His chief works are: 1. 'A Vindication of Bishop Taylor from the injurious misrepresentation of him by the Author of the Letter to the Clergy of the Church of England in the county of Northumberland,' 1733. 2. 'An Enquiry about the Lawfulness of Eating Blood. Occasion'd by Revelation examin'd with Candour. … By a Prebendary of York,' London, 1733, 8vo. 3. 'A Defence of the Enquiry about the Lawfulness of Eating Blood,' London, 1734, 8vo. 4. 'Opinion on a Proposal for instituting a Protestant Convent,' 1737; printed in his 'Life' of Archbishop Sharp, ii. 281. 5. 'Two Dissertations concerning the Etymology and Scripture-Meaning of the Hebrew words Elohim and Berith. Occasioned by some Notions lately advanced [by J. Hutchinson and A. S. Catcott] in relation to them,' London, 1751, 8vo. This elicited replies from J. Bate and B. Holloway, and these two writers were answered by G. Kalmár, who defended Sharp. The latter issued a 'review and defence' of the dissertations (pt. i. 1754, pt. ii. and iii. 1755). 6. 'The Rubric in the Book of Common Prayer and the Canons of the Church of England, so far as they relate to the Parochial Clergy, considered,' London, 1753, 8vo; 1787, 8vo; Oxford, 1834 and 1853, 8vo. 7. 'Discourses touching the antiquity of the Hebrew Tongue and Character,' London, 1755, 8vo. 8. 'Mr. Hutchinson's Exposition of Cherubim, and his Hypothesis concerning them examined,' London, 1755. W. Hodges published a reply. 9. 'Sermons on several occasions,' 1763, 8vo. 10. 'Discourses on Preaching; or, directions towards attaining the best manner of discharging the duties of the Pulpit,' 3rd edit. London, 1787, 8vo. 11. 'The Life of John Sharp, D.D., Lord Archbishop of York. … Edited by Thomas Newcome, M.A.,' 2 vols., London, 1825, 8vo. A collected edition of Sharp's 'Works' appeared, with a portrait prefixed, in 1763; his correspondence with Mrs. Catherine Cockburn on moral virtue and moral obligation was published in 1743, and he left in manuscript 'Catalogus Episcoporum, Priorum, Decanorum, Canonicorum Ecclesiæ Dunelmensis. Cui præmittitur Series Episcoporum Lindisfarnensium. Subjiciuntur Catalogi Archidiaconorum Dunelmensium et Northumbriæ, et Cancellariorum Temporalium et Spiritualium Dunelmensium,' and 'An Account of Hexham' (Nichols, Lit.

MS. 5880 f. 194; Bromley's Cat. of Engraved Portraits, p. 280; Byrom's Journal, i. 206, 361, 368, 399, 422, 630; Mrs. Catherine Cockburn's Life prefixed to her Works, p. xliv, vol. ii. pp. 311, 312, 353; Collinson's Somerset, iii. 563; Cooke's Preacher's Assistant, ii. 300; Hutchinson's Durham, ii. 211; Jones's Life of Bishop Horne, pp. 81 seq.; Prince Hoare's Memoirs of Granville Sharp, 1820; Wrangham's Zouch, ii. 206; Letters of Eminent Literary Men (Camden Soc.); Lowndes's Bibl.
