In her latest novel, Lumina, North Carolina author Mary Flinn takes readers on a journey back in time. Lumina was a beautiful beach pavilion where dances were held every Saturday night for the first half of the twentieth century in Wilmington, North Carolina. Now Flinn returns us to the days of the Roaring Twenties when young ladies wore beaded skirts and young men covertly sipped whiskey when the dance matron wasn't looking. It was an era of cultural change, marked by the first real sexual revolution, Prohibition, the introduction of jazz, and a time when music formed a bond for many whites and African-Americans. Readers of Mary Flinn's former novels will enjoy this chance to be enmeshed once again in her world. Although Lumina is her first historical romance, old Favorite characters make their appearance in the form of Elle McLarin and some of her friends-Nate, Anne Borden Montgomery (AB), and Mr. May-from A Girl Like That. The story begins when Anne Borden finds a novel ...

 Throughout the classical period and into modern times, fencing masters have divided the foil target into four specific areas. These are commonly termed lines, and sometimes lines of attack, lines of defense (Rondelle 1892), or lines of parry (Cass 1930). The result is a division of the target into high and low, outside and inside lines, creating four quadrants. How you understand these quadrants depends on how they are described and illustrated. The illustrations are key to how many fencers, even today, think about the target. They have appeared in multiple texts, and fall into two categories: Illustrations that show the lines as subdivisions on the chest of the fencing jacket. Illustrations that show the lines with the fencer holding a weapon. The difference is significant. The illustrations based on as subdivision of the chest, such as Colomore Dunn's (1891), show the target divided laterally and vertically into four similar areas. The vertical division is down the centerline of...

 When shopping for diamonds, many today are still undecided about if it's best to buy their diamond online or physically in a retail store. I have decided to make this comparison to help determine if shopping online is best for you or not. There are several factors that influence if it's the best choice or not, with some advantages and disadvantages for each. In this post, I will explain as best as I can the benefits and downsides of the two. Certification Most online retailers only sell certified diamonds, either by the GIA, HRD or IGI. In many physical retail stores, a majority of the diamonds will not be certified. This is normal, as jewelers themselves are almost always certified graders, but it does not inspire confidence for some consumers. In all cases of a trusted jeweler, there should be no doubt about the quality of the diamond. However, certification costs money, and an advantage of buying certified diamonds vs non-certified diamonds is that you will often find them ...

  Acid reflux, also known as heartburn, is the result of the lower esophageal sphincter either not closing at all or closing inadequately and allowing the acid produced by the stomach to go up into the esophagus. Common causes of acid reflux include: the presence of a hiatal hernia, being overweight, and having unhealthy eating habits. The common symptoms experienced during acid reflux include: a sensation of bloating, burping, nausea, and dysphagia or narrowing of the esophagus. Acid reflux can be treated with lifestyle changes such as adopting a more healthy style of eating as well as healthy choice of foods. This acupuncture is also known to provide relief and target at the root cause of acid reflux. Treatment of the Root Cause People suffering from GERD often have indigestion along with symptoms such as acid regurgitation and frequent burping. Medications offer some symptomatic relief, but over a period of time, it may worsen symptoms or the patient may suffer side effects such...

 When the author refers to analytical English, she means that teachers can do more than teach rudimentary grammar and speaking. Reading with literary analysis can be employed at any stage/level to improve speaking skills. Analytical-English teachers explore literary elements including plot, setting, conflict, crisis, characterization, rising action, symbolism, foreshadowing, theme, tone, subplots, resolution, and more. These concepts are intertwined with grammatical analysis. Their students embark on a journey that entails investigating the mystery that makes a story great. Conducting such an analysis stimulates the mind to help pupils learn to think analytically in a way that might be applied to other domains, including science, social studies, and more. Students formulate their questions and participate in the construction of the curriculum, along with their teachers. It is of most importance that students ask questions along with their teachers and that analysis apply to real li...

 Is seems like the more connected we get the more privacy we lose. In a report and investigation from "Consumers Report" they found that some smart TV's can track what you watch. The newer Smart TV from LG, Samsung, Sony, Vizio and others might be doing just that. It seems like they were trying to compete with Nielson in an attempt to do a better job at ratings. Most of us watch Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, RoKu and others. All of these need a Wi-Fi connection to operate. So just how do they do it? They all have what is called Automatic Content Recognition (AGR) which monitors what you watch. And of course, you must be connected to the internet via hard wire or Wi-Fi. The AGR is turned on by default. The next thing you should ask, can my TV be hacked? Can someone hack into my smart TV and take control of it or do something else? The answer to both is yes. How difficult this is depends on the TV manufacturer or the maker of the Ruku, Hulu or other hardware devices connected to...

 A sexy bra is like as best friend to women since it is the first layer of clothing to our skin. If you are a woman who pays attention to your appearance, you should not ignore the beauty of your breasts. And wearing a sexy bra is a fundamental step of it. Why should women wear bras? What are the benefits that we can get from wearing them? Many women might have thought of such a question before. It is not a difficult question to answer actually. And all the women can realize how helpful the bra is through the daily wearing experience. 1. Wearing a bra enables women to move more comfortably freely. Wearing a bra can reduce the up and down shocks that bodies of women suffer from walking, doing sports and other fierce movements by holding the breasts. All sides' force can be balanced around the breasts when a woman put on a fitting bra. If one side of breasts is dispersed under a force, a bra will provide a good protection for them closely, then the women can take care of different oc...

  One thing that we have all begun to appreciate since the arrival of the Corona-virus Pandemic has been the importance of scientists and those that support them. It is clear to the world that until there is a vaccine there is no real chance of bringing the situation under control. Governments have endeavored to wrestle with the need to minimize risk and deaths, and social distancing has become a key aspect of those efforts. Progress is being made, but it is often fitful and patchy, and there is always the ever present danger of further peaks of infection if we ease up too quickly, or simply resume life as it used to be before the arrival of COVID-19. The reality is that the ways of behavior, of interaction and doing business need to change and already there are signs of a new normal emerging, one that is predicated on the need to be cautious, vigilant and aware of the fact that anyone can catch the disease, and that anyone can spread it. Yet for all that, there is a pressing ...

 There is little doubt that most are waking up to the threats of climate change and human activity on the planet. While young people demonstrate against it and beg world leaders to do more to reverse the trend the question is can anything change? The deniers who hold positions of leadership have the power to override public opinion. That being the case do any of them really care what happens to the world? Can they resist pressure from the Business World to do anything different? While strongly behind any demonstration bringing awareness surely the young people who are most concerned must start with parents and relatives and urge them to vote against putting such people into power. As they won't change leaders who are unwilling to take notice there has to be a better way. In the western world it's only through the ballot box that such effect happen. During recent elections in Australia and elsewhere fear campaigns against parties promising such action have dominated while these ...

  Within Britain, badgers are particularly numerous in much of the south-west of England, and also in parts of the south-east and Wales. The Eurasian badger occupies a wide range of habitats. In Britain, numbers are highest in areas where there is a lot of old, well-grazed cattle pasture, but they also occupy mixed and arable farmland, forests, moor lands and coastal habitats such as sand dunes and cliffs. In addition, they also live in urban areas. A large part of the badger's diet consists of earthworms and grubs which they find in areas of short turf such as cattle pastures. In dry conditions during the summer, or in hard weather in winter, badgers may turn to gardens, Golf greens and fairways as substitute pastures, and excavate numerous holes in them as they dig for earthworms, leatherjackets, cockchafer grubs or other insect larvae. Sometimes the damage can be quite serious, with lengths of turf rolled back like carpets and left looking like giant brown and green Swiss rolls....
