If you’ve read and loved Anne of Green Gables you will surely be delighted to follow Anne’s further adventures in Anne of Avonlea. In this sequel, we find Anne Shirley teaching in Avonlea School though she continues her studies at home with Gilbert Blythe. Lucy Maud Montgomery first published the best selling Anne of Green Gables in 1908. Enthused by the amazing success of this account of a young orphan girl who arrives by mistake on Prince Edward Island, Canada, the author followed it up with five more sequels, tracing Anne’s career and life. Three other books and a couple of collections also feature Anne, her family, children and friends. The series has remained one of the firm favorites of children and older readers. Anne of Avonlea was published in 1909, immediately after the first book. It contains several of the characters present in the previous book, so readers get a feeling of comfortable continuity as they follow Anne in her new role as a student teacher. She is now officially a grownup person and part of the adult society of Avonlea village and soon plunges into a series of situations in which dismay and delight have equal share. The book has a blend of old and new characters. Her best friend, Diana Barry, her foster mom Marilla Cuthbert, Jane Andrews her favorite teacher, Gilbert Blythe her enemy turned friend and Priscilla Grant an old classmate are people the reader would have met in the earlier book. New characters like the crotchety Mr. Harrison, who owns a rude parrot appropriately called Ginger, the twins Dora and Davy Keith, Paul Irving and a few more provide lots of fun and entertainment. Anne remains as delightful as she was in the earlier book, getting in and out of various scrapes of her own creation, imaginative, gutsy and full of spirit and joie de vivre. Towards the end of the book, we find her and Gilbert charting out their future careers and planning to start university life in Redmond College which of course keeps readers eagerly awaiting the next book in the series! Touches of romance, flashes of Montgomery’s typical tongue in cheek humor, a lively and interesting heroine, wonderful descriptions of the Canadian landscape and the idyllic Prince Edward Island countryside and a host of memorable characters make Anne of Avonlea a great read especially if you’re continuing on with the entire series!

Peter has always had an interest in History, whereas Louis used to think Alexander the Great was a king of England a few hundred years ago. Join this unlikely pair as they go over key moments from history to find out just how little it’s possible for a human being to know about our past. First we’ll see what Louis thought happened, then, after we’ve finished laughing at his expense, he’ll get a crash course on the reality! We hope you have as much fun as we do! Disclaimer from Peter: I’m no historian, it’s just a hobby. So apologies if I’m ever wrong about anything I tell Louis presented as a fact. Do please contact us if I’ve gone astray and I’ll do my best to correct any mistakes.

We are just two brothers with beards who enjoy good conversation, coffee and debating the great mysteries of the world. This includes but is not limited to Politics, Aliens, Reality, Human Control and Manipulation through many outlets. Are you sure your reality is real, are you sure what you believe to be truth is true? Will we be a multi planet species soon? Will A.I. rule the world in the next ten years? Will we be able to live through our consciousness being downloaded for hundreds of years to come? Are we already part cyborgs and unaware? These among many other things will be discussed with a light hearted and open minded process that focuses on facts when they are available. Obviously with the fringe topics there will be mainly hypotheses and facts where they present themselves. Proceed with caution, you may not be able to handle the truth.

The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. It announced that the thirteen American colonies, who were at war with Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War, no longer considered themselves part of the British Empire. They now called themselves a new nation, The United States of America. This famous document went on to become a well-known keystone of the human rights movement. However, the newly formed state had no real identity or philosophy and were merely a loose collection of states that had freed themselves from colonial rule. The Continental Congress was considered to be their governing body and by 1777, this congress decided to bring the colonies together via the articles of confederation. Individual states could come together on a common platform whenever issues that affected all of them arose, but inside each state, there was freedom to conduct affairs independently. In time, the states realized that there was no centralized power which became necessary to maintain unity and uniformity. In 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia led by George Washington established a strong central policy with a federal system for states and the three branches: the judiciary, the executive and the legislative. The delegates to the convention became known as the framers of the constitution. The US Constitution is the work of many combined intellects and sought to include various different viewpoints. They included famous Americans like Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, George Washington, George Mason and many others. The average age at the convention was about 38 – which was appropriate for the founding and the birth of a young nation. After nearly four months of intense debate and discussions, the final document was agreed upon. Since then, there have been nearly 27 amendments to the constitution, the most important being the Bill of Rights. This famous document, which begins, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility….” has become the template for many countries which became independent in later years. It is an interesting and insightful document that records the history, aspirations and hopes of the New World. Benjamin Franklin admitted that it was not perfect, but felt it was necessary to establish a central government. The original document, written on parchment is on display at the National Archives, Washington DC. Modern day readers will indeed find it a fascinating and impressive read.
