Horizons Collide is a heart-wrenching coming of age story about Billy, a young man wrestling with his faith as he moves into adulthood, and his accidental trip to the distant past that causes a collision of customs, emotion, and faith. As a child, Billy’s life is wrought with the loss of loved ones, and he begins to wonder why a loving God would allow such things to happen. Raised in a devoutly spiritual family and amidst his deep internal angst, Billy is granted the unusual opportunity to travel back in time and correct the horror that ruined his life. But an accident during the transition puts him face to face with the one he blames most for everything. While Jesus can return him, Billy is told he must first grow in faith and soften his heart. He must find the innocence of his childhood and release his anger before he can begin his journey to return … to save his family … to save himself.

At the height of his career, J.E.H. MacDonald’s paintings and oil sketches reveal a mastery of colour mixing, a sureness of brushstroke, and a deep understanding of compositional design. His striking landscapes and views of nature are an important artistic legacy and confirm his essential place among the Group of Seven painters. J.E.H. MacDonald Up Close provides a fresh interpretation of MacDonald’s artistic development and sheds new light on questions of authenticity and dating surrounding MacDonald’s paintings. Here art conservation experts Kate Helwig and Alison Douglas combine rigorous scientific analysis with a close visual examination of MacDonald’s work to focus on his materials and techniques. Exploring the interface between art history and science, Helwig and Douglas use excerpts from MacDonald’s diaries, letters, and lectures to provide socio-historical context to their in-depth reading of the paintings as physical objects.Helwig and Douglas’s fascinating text is accompanied not only by reproductions of key artworks, but also by never-before-seen photographs taken through a microscope. These unique, close-up views of MacDonald’s working methods reveal the texture of his brushstrokes and the characteristic ways he layered and mixed his paint.

Lee's army moved into Pennsylvania in June 1863, Stuart's cavalry screened his movements, thereby engaging in the more traditional cavalry roles, but it's widely believed he was hoping to remove the negative effect of Brandy Station by duplicating one of his now famous rides around the enemy army, much as he did to McClellan's Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign in 1862. This time, however, as Lee began his march north through the Shenandoah Valley in western Virginia, it is highly unlikely that is what he wanted or expected. Before setting out on June 25, the methodical Lee gave Stuart specific instructions as to the role he was to play in the Pennsylvania offensive. As the eyes of the army, the cavalry was to guard the mountain passes with part of his force while the Army of Northern Virginia was still south of the Potomac River, and then cross the river with the remainder of his army and screen the right flank of Confederate general Richard Stoddert Ewell's II Corps as it moved down the Shenandoah Valley, maintaining contact with Ewell's army as it advanced towards Harrisburg. Instead of taking the most direct route north near the Blue Ridge Mountains, however, Stuart chose a much more ambitious course of action. Stuart decided to march his three best brigades (under Generals Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee, and Col. John R. Chambliss) between the Union army and Washington, north through Rockville to Westminster, and then into Pennsylvania, a route that would allow them to capture supplies along the way and wreak havoc as they skirted Washington. To complicate matters even more, as Stuart set out on June 25 on what was probably a glory-seeking mission, he was unaware that his intended path was blocked by columns of Union infantry that would invariably force him to veer farther east than he or Lee had anticipated. Ultimately, his decision would prevent him from linking up with Ewell as ordered and deprive Lee of his primary cavalry force as he advanced deeper and deeper into unfamiliar enemy territory. According to Halsey Wigfall (son of Confederate States Senator Louis Wigfall) who was in Stuart's infantry, "Stuart and his cavalry left Lee's] army on June 24 and did not contact his] army again until the afternoon of July 2, the second day of the Gettysburg] battle." According to Stuart's own account, on June 29 his men clashed briefly with two companies of Union cavalry in Westminster, Maryland, overwhelming and chasing them "a long distance on the Baltimore road," causing a "great panic" in the city of Baltimore. On June 30, the head of Stuart's column then encountered General Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry as it passed through Hanover, during which they reportedly captured a wagon train and scattered the Union army before Kilpatrick's men were able to regroup and drive Stuart and his men out of town. Then, after a 20 mile trek in the dark, Stuart's exhausted men reached Dover, Pennsylvania on the morning of July 1. H.B. McClellan would point out in his book about Stuart that Lee's orders meant the army commander "was aware that under the most favorable circumstances Stuart must be separated from the army for at least three or four days." However, Stuart's cavalry would be gone for 7 days, and Stuart was too far removed from the Army of Northern Virginia to warn Lee of the Army of the Potomac's movements.
Et gadekryds mellem ugebladsnovelle og avangardeEdith Rode havde en ballast af dannelse, og herværende J.e.d. opbyder i al sin tilsyneladende uskyld alt, hvad man kan drive ud af en sådan dannelse. Det er avantgardens principper, Edith Rode arbejder med, der er frit valg på alle hylder, men i en folkelig udgave. Det er det, der kommer til udtryk i den mageløse J.e.d.: Jeg elsker dig.– Og brevformen: den naturlige skrifts form, hvis en sådan findes, kendt og brugt af enhver. Altså en familiær form. Hvor afsender og modtager kender hinanden, eller i hvert fald ved, hvor hinanden bor, og således også ved ret præcist, hvad der tales om. Hvilket betyder, at man kan springe lige ud i det. Hvilket igen giver dette overskud. En leg med alle mulige tricks, et festfyrværkeri.Det er kulørt. Man kan synes kærlighedshistorien i J.e.d. er noget søgt, handlingsudviklingen er aldeles triviel, først er han i offensiven, så er hun, men det er præmissen, den må man tage eller lade være, men tager man den, får man til gengæld også alt det andet i tilgift.Et sandt overflødighedshorn af muligheder stillet til rådighed af denne meget dannede stillist.
