The Nazi Hydra in America Suppressed History of A Century by Glen Yeadon

Provocative and highly controversial, The Nazi Hydra in America reveals the dark secrets of the fascist influence in the USA. While Eisenhower's troops defeated The Third Reich on the battlefields of Europe, the war against fascism was lost on the home front, to the very cadre of American plutocrats who built and paid for Hitler's war machine.

The SF I write was always "not mainstream"—YA then singularity stuff but not the way many in the genre showcased SV's toxic tech religion...

But since I've been writing #solarpunk, it's the clearest rebuttal to this history of fashy SF.

This is a fresh analysis of what Austen novels are appropriate for what circumstance you find yourself in. Honestly? The article is not wrong. (It also includes Austen's unfinished works in the list!)

#OTD in 1773.

Oliver Goldsmith's comedy She Stoops to Conquer is performed for the first time, at the Covent Garden Theatre in London.

Initially the play was titled Mistakes of a Night and the events within the play take place in one long night. In 1778, John O'Keeffe wrote a loose sequel, Tony Lumpkin in Town.

"Ce n'est pas une cause
Que j'attaque ou que je défends
Et ceci n'est pas autre chose
Que l'histoire d'un pauvre enfant."

#OTD in 1900.

Sarah Bernhardt stars in premiere of Edmond Rostand's l'Aiglon. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle).

#OTD in 1920.

The Blue Flame, a four-act play by George V. Hobart and John Willard after Leta Vance Nicholson, opens at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway before a year's U.S. tour. Though described by a critic as "one of the worst plays ever written," it is a commercial success, largely due to Theda Bara as the central character of a vamp.

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced contemporary thriller set in northern Scotland.

Dornoch, on the east coast of Sutherland, features in the book several times as the story develops and an important meeting takes place in the graveyard of Dornoch Cathedral, shown here at dusk.

Weather and Climate Experiments by Pamela Walker, 2009

Study of the weather and climate helps students understand weather conditions and the science behind weather research. Temperature, barometric pressure, wind, and precipitation are just a few of the types of data routinely collected and analyzed by meteorologists. By studying weather, students can understand more about what is going on in the world around them.
