Charlotte Mary Yonge (11 August 1823 - 24 May 1901) was an English novelist known for her huge output, now mostly out of print. Life: Charlotte Mary Yonge was born in Otterbourne, Hampshire, England, on 11 August 1823 to William Yonge and Fanny Yonge, n e Bargus.She was educated at home by her father, studying Latin, Greek, French, Euclid and algebra. Her father's lessons could be harsh: He required a diligence and accuracy that were utterly alien to me. He thundered at me so that nobody could bear to hear it, and often reduced me to tears, but his approbation was so delightful that it was a delicious stimulus... I believe, in spite of all breezes over my innate slovenliness, it would have broken our hearts to leave off working together. And we went on till I was some years past twenty. Yonge's devotion to her father was lifelong and her relationship with him seems to have been for her the standard for all other relationships, including marriage. His "approbation was throughout life my bliss; his anger my misery for the time."She was born into a religious family background, was devoted to the High Church, and much influenced by John Keble, Vicar of Hursley from 1835, a near neighbour and one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement. Yonge is herself sometimes referred to as "the novelist of the Oxford Movement", as her novels frequently reflect the values and concerns of Anglo-Catholicism. She remained in Otterbourne all her life and for 71 years was a teacher in the village Sunday school.In 1868 a new parish was formed to the south of Yonge's home village of Otterbourne; the parish was to contain the villages of Eastley and Barton. Yonge donated 500 towards the parish church and was asked to choose which of the two villages the parish should be named after. She chose Eastley, but decided that it should be spelt 'Eastleigh' as she perceived this as being more modern. Yonge died in her hometown of Otterbourne on 24 May 1901. Her obituary in The Times said: Her friends, and especially her poorer neighbours, knew both the strength and the winning charm of her character. Thus the late Archbishop Benson noted in his diary her 'odd majesty and kindliness, which are very strong'. But it is of course as a writer that Miss Yonge will be remembered. She had an inventive mind and a ready pen, and a bare list of the books written or edited by her would probably occupy nearly a whole column of The Times. She wrote chiefly for young people, especially young girls, and her books are the result not only of a strong ethical purpose, but also of her firm devotion to the High Church view of Christian doctrine and practice. William John Hennessy (July 11, 1839 - December 27, 1917) was an Irish artist.William John Hennessy (originally hAonghusa) was born in Thomastown, County Kilkenny in 1839. His father, John Hennessy, was forced to leave Ireland in 1848 as a result of his involvement in the Young Ireland movement. He landed in Canada and settled in New York City. William, his mother Catherine, and brother joined their father there in 1849. He gained admittance to the National Academy of Design in 1854 and exhibitioned his first works there. Hennessy developed a skill in wood engraving and was hired to illustrate the works of renowned poets, including that of Tennyson, Longfellow and Whittier. As an American he became the co-founder of the Artists' Fund Society, and an honorary member of the American Society of Painters in Watercolours. In 1870 he moved to London where he became a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1902. Between 1879 and 1907 the Royal Hibernian Academy displayed eight of his paintings.

W.I.S.D.O.M. tells the story of the perpetually reluctant mother, as she enters her twenties with her own pessimistic views on children and parenthood, only to discover that in the words of Ian Malcolm, "life, uh...finds a way." Through bitingly honest humor she navigates through a multifront effort to pursue her own life goals, fight against mommy culture, and, oh yeah, raise a child. Through clever acronyms, W.I.S.D.O.M. guides the reader on a chronological journey to overcome the challenges faced throughout child-rearing. The reader will learn how to prepare for a baby while averting the insidious baby industry and their devious corporate marketers, and champion judgment-free parenting with the metric of, "what is easiest for me?" Most importantly, this book speaks to mothers striving to retain own goals outside of parenthood by giving career advice such as, "A great way to answer the typical interview question, 'What has been a challenge in your life and what did you do to overcome it' is to begin with 'Before the accident...' and then describe how you overcame those challenges to get where you are today. Just don't mention that 'accident' means pregnancy." In the end, every reader can comfortably rest knowing that, like the author's ancestors, who upon reaching the Midwest over one hundred years ago, decide that sometimes we just have to settle for good enough.
Mainly focused on the study of esoteric traditions within the three monotheist Revelations, La R gle d'Abraham is a periodical founded and directed by Patrick Geay since April 1996. This special edition in English, with 20 rare Masonic illustrations, is dedicated to an important article by Marsha Keith Schuchard on Masonic esotericism and politics: the "ancient" Stuart roots of Bonnie Prince Charlie's role as hidden Grand Master Research into Charles Edward Stuart's alleged affiliation with Jacobite or Ecossais Freemasonry has long been hampered by the misleading assumption, which became academic "conventional wisdom," that Freemasonry virtually began in England when the Grand Lodge of London was formed in 1717. Moreover, it was generally characterized as non-political and rationalistic, devoted to the Protestant succession, the Hanoverian government, Newtonian science, and latitudinarian religion. However, the recent international expansion of Masonic and Jacobite studies makes possible a more credible and documented study of the Stuart prince's political and Masonic activities, within a context of anti-Hanoverian, politically-active, diplomatically-diverse, and spiritually-oriented Masonry that draws upon the early Scots-Irish traditions maintained by the Stuart kings in Greater Britain and by the exiles in the Jacobite diaspora. Ranging from the 1590s in Scotland to the 1780s in Italy, the Stuart-Masonic themes of Jewish mysticism, Lullist illuminated knighthood, Solomonic architecture, and religious toleration sustained the military and political campaigns of James II, James III, and "Bonnie Prince Charlie" in their struggle to reclaim the thrones of their ancestors.

J rgen W. M llemann war ein popul rer Ausnahmepolitiker, der ber Jahrzehnte die Geschicke der FDP und der Bundesrepublik ma geblich mitbestimmte und bis zuletzt wie kaum ein anderer Politiker polarisierte. F r die einen war er das political animal, das im kleinen Finger noch mehr politisches Gesp r hat als andere im ganzen Kopf. Anderen dagegen galt er als Beispiel f r den Niedergang des Politischen, als Prototyp des karrieregeilen Opportunisten. Mit Christoph Greiners neuestem Buch liegt nun endlich eine Biographie des Politph nomens M llemann vor. Greiner schildert das politische Leben des M nsteraners detailliert und unvoreingenommen und legt mit Pr zision offen, wie M llemann fernab aller Klischees und ffentlichen Bilder war. Er beleuchtet alle Etappen des in vielerlei Hinsicht au ergew hnlichen Lebens: Kindheit und Jugend; der kometenhafte Aufstieg in der FDP; die Zeit h chster Staats mter bis hin zum Amt des Bundeswirtschaftsministers und Vizekanzlers; die Briefbogenaff re, die ihn um das Regierungsamt und den FDP-Bundesvorsitz brachte; M llemanns Rebellion gegen die FDP-Bundesspitze und sein Sturz als NRW-Parteichef; sein fulminantes Comeback als Landesvorsitzender nur 1 1/2 Jahre sp ter; schlie lich "Projekt 8" und "Projekt 18," der Antisemitismusstreit, die Parteispendenaff re und sein tragischer Tod. Nach dem Wahlerfolg mit 14,6 Prozent bei der Bundestagswahl 2009 ist die FDP M llemanns 18-Prozent-Ziel n her denn je gekommen - allein das ist schon Grund genug, sich des Ph nomens M llemann mit all seiner Popularit t und Polarisierung zu erinnern und den Mister 18 Prozent noch einmal in genauen Augenschein zu nehmen. Wer sich dar ber hinaus mit M llemanns Lebensleistung auseinandersetzen m chte und dabei politische wie pers nliche Fehler neu zu bewerten bereit und gewillt ist, die Klischees vom Karrieristen und Medienexperten, vom Opportunisten, Populisten und gar Antisemiten einer objektiven berpr fung zu unterziehen, f r den hat Christoph Greiner eine F lle an Material ausgewertet und packend und gut lesbar bereitgestellt.
