Anne C. Miles, an award-winning author, was born in Chicago Heights, Illinois, fifty years ago. She successfully avoided writing fiction for years by blogging and extensive journaling. However, one day, she logged into a writing site and scribbled. She kept going, and now cannot stop. Her book, Sorrowfish, was named Best Fantasy of 2019 by Indies Today. Anne lives near Louisville, Kentucky with her husband, Rodney. When Anne isn't working or writing, she plays violin badly and spoils her four grandchildren. She is hard at work on the next book of her series, The Call of the Lorica. https://www.annecmiles.com/sorrowfish/
When Anne was ten, she walked onto the school playground and a girl spat in her face after calling her ‘a dirty, Arab Muslim'. To her shock, her teacher did nothing. The incident changed how she saw the world, and helped set her on the path to becoming the first Australian Muslim woman elected to parliament (R)
Today we celebrate a beloved English novelist and poet. We'll also learn about an intrepid plant explorer remembered most for the little yellow fruit he brought back from China. However, his most significant impact is likely in the soybean specimens that became a valuable economic crop for America. We hear a fun excerpt about a pressed flower book - you’re really going to enjoy it. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book about Plants that Kill - and there are more deadly plants in the garden and your home than people realize. And then we’ll wrap things up with a bit of garden advice from a distinguished and excellent gardener and writer who wrote about using silver foliage in the garden on this day back in 1967.

Important Events May 28, 1849 Today is the anniversary of the death of English novelist and poet Anne Brontë. Today we remember the Brontë sisters for their writing, but their lives were one of hardship. Their mother, Maria, died a year and a half after giving birth to Anne - the youngest Brontë children. By then, the family had already lost two older siblings - girls named Maria and Elizabeth. When Anne was older, she wrote a little verse on the subject of losing a loved one, saying, Farewell to thee! but not farewell To all my fondest thoughts of thee: Within my heart, they still shall dwell; And they shall cheer and comfort me. The result of these early losses in the family was a tight-knit connection between the four surviving Brontë children: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and their brother Branwell. Growing up, Anne and her older sister Emily were very close. They two peas in a pod. In Anne’s poem about the Bluebell, she writes about her moments of childhood happiness - at finding pretty wildflowers and enjoying a carefree existence. Of the bluebell, Anne wrote, O, that lone flower recalled to me My happy childhood’s hours When bluebells seemed like fairy gifts A prize among the flowers, Those sunny days of merriment When heart and soul were free, And when I dwelt with kindred hearts That loved and cared for me. The author Emma Emmerson wrote a piece called the Brontë Garden. In it, she revealed: “The Brontës were not ardent gardeners, although… Emily and Anne treasured their currant bushes as ‘their own bit of fruit garden.’" In her book The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne wrote about the resilience of the rose. “This rose is not so fragrant as a summer flower, but it has stood through hardships none of them could bear: the cold rain of winter has sufficed to nourish it, and its faint sun to warm it; the bleak winds have not blanched it, or broken its stem, and the keen frost has not blighted it... It is still fresh and blooming as a flower can be, with the cold snow even now on its petals.” The year 1848 proved to be a brutal year of tuberculosis for the Brontë children. Branwell died of tuberculosis at age 31 in September. Emily would also die from tuberculosis in December. She was 30 and had just released her book Wuthering Heights. Losing Emily was too much for Anne, and her grief negatively impacted her health. By the time Anne died from tuberculosis on this day at 29, her remaining older sister Charlotte had lost all of her siblings in just under ten months. Anne had wanted to go to Scarborough, thinking that the sea air would help her. Charlotte worried the trip would be too much for her. But when the family doctor agreed Anne could travel, Charlotte and her friend Ellen Nussey accompanied her. Along the way, Anne wanted to see York Minster. When the little trio reached Scarborough, Anne had two days left to live. Knowing the end was near, Anne asked to stay in Scarborough instead of heading back home. When the end came, Charlotte decided to bury Anne in Scarborough - instead of at their Hawthorne Parish alongside their mother and siblings. Charlotte wrote of her decision, saying she would "lay the flower where it had fallen.” And so that is how Anne came to be buried in Scarborough. May 28, 1918 On this day, the intrepid Dutch-American botanist and USDA Plant Explorer, Frank Nicholas Meyer, boarded a steamer and sailed down the Yangtze River - starting his long return journey to America. Sadly, after Frank boarded that steamer ship on this day back in 1918, he died. His body was found days later floating in the Yangtze. To this day, his death remains a mystery. His final letters home expressed loneliness, sadness, and exhaustion. He wrote that his responsibilities seemed “heavier and heavier.” Early on in his career, Frank was known as a rambler and a bit of a loner. He was more enthusiastic about plants than humans - even going so far as to name and talk to them. Frank once confessed in an October 11, 1901 letter to a friend, "I am pessimistic by nature and have not found a road which leads to relaxation. I withdraw from humanity and try to find relaxation with plants." Frank worked in several nurseries and took a few plant hunting assignments before connecting with the great David Fairchild, who saw in Frank tremendous potential. Frank was also David’s backfill. David had just gotten married and was ready to settle down. Once in China, Frank was overwhelmed by the vastness and rich plant life. A believer in reincarnation, Frank wrote to David Fairchild, in May 1907: “[One] short life will never be long enough to find out all about this mighty land. When I think about all these unexplored areas, I get fairly dazzled… I will have to roam around in my next life.” While the potential of China was dazzling, the risks and realities of exploration were hazardous. Edward B Clark spoke of Frank’s difficulties in his work as a plant explorer in Technical World in July 1911. He said, “Frank has frozen and melted alternately as the altitudes have changed. He has encountered wild beasts and men nearly as wild. He has scaled glaciers and crossed chasms of dizzying depths. He has been the subject of the always-alert suspicions of government officials and strange people's - jealous of intrusions into their land, but he has found what he was sent for.” Frank improved the diversity and quality of American crops with his exceptional ability to source plants that would grow in the various growing regions of the United States. Frank was known for his incredible stamina. Unlike many of his peers carried in sedan chairs, Frank walked on his own accord for tens of miles every day. His ability to walk for long distances allowed him to access many of the most treacherous and inaccessible parts of interior Asia - including China, Korea, Manchuria, and Russia. In all, Frank sent over 2,000 seeds or cuttings of fruits, grains, plants, and trees to the United States - and many now grace our backyards and tables. For instance, Frank collected the beautiful Korean Lilac, soybeans, asparagus, Chinese horse chestnut, water chestnut, oats, wild pears, Ginkgo biloba, and persimmons, just to name a few. Today, Frank is most remembered for a bit of fruit he found near Peking in the doorway to a family home - the Meyer Lemon, which is suspected to be a hybrid of standard lemons and mandarin oranges. Unearthed Words “Janie ran to my side, where she tugged at the book eagerly as though she'd seen it before. "Flower book," she said, pointing to the cover. "Where did you find Mummy's book?" Katherine asked, hovering near me. Cautiously, I revealed the book as I sat on the sofa. "Would you like to look at it with me?" I said, avoiding the question. Katherine nodded, and the boys gathered around as I cracked the spine and thumbed through page after page of beautiful camellias, pressed and glued onto each page, with handwritten notes next to each. On the page that featured the 'Camellia reticulata,' a large, salmon-colored flower, she had written: 'Edward had this one brought in from China. It's fragile. I've given it the garden's best shade.' On the next page, near the 'Camellia sasanqua,' she wrote: 'A Christmas gift from Edward and the children. This one will need extra love. It hardly survived the passage from Japan. I will spend the spring nursing it back to health.' On each page, there were meticulous notes about the care and feeding of the camellias - when she planted them, how often they were watered, fertilized, and pruned. In the right-hand corner of some pages, I noticed an unusual series of numbers. "What does that mean?" I asked the children. Nicholas shrugged. "This one was Mummy's favorite," he said, flipping to the last page in the book. I marveled at the pink-tipped white blossoms as my heart began to beat faster. The Middlebury Pink. ― Sarah Jio (“Gee-oh”), New York Times bestselling author, The Last Camellia Grow That Garden Library Plants That Kill by Elizabeth Dauncey This book came out in 2016, and the subtitle is A Natural History of the World's Most Poisonous Plants. In this gorgeously illustrated book, Elizabeth introduces us to the most poisonous plants on the planet - from hemlock to the deadly nightshades to poppy and tobacco. Elizabeth also helps us understand how many of these plants have been used medicinally and culturally across the globe. Toxicity has been used for good and evil, with some plant compounds used in murders and chemical warfare. In terms of evolution, some plants turned more toxic to deter getting eaten or harmed by wildlife. Concerning humans, plant toxins can profoundly affect parts of the body - from the heart and lungs to our biggest organ, the skin. This book is 224 pages of a fascinating and authoritative look at the natural history of highly toxic plants, including their evolution, survival strategies, physiology, and biochemistry.

Frances fell in love with gardening as a young girl after her mother, Isabella, took a ten-year-old Francie to see the Chelsea flower show. She married a local nurseryman’s son named Amos Perry, Jr. In 1945, the Perry’s oldest son, Marcus Perry, was killed by a lorry when he was just 13. He’s remembered by the oriental poppy named the Marcus Perry. France’s father-in-law, Amos Perry Sr., bred the poppy. Regarding her column about plants with silver foliage from this day in 1967, Frances wrote, “A touch of silver (or gold) brings light to dark corners, highlights other plants, and makes a particularly delightful foil for anything with pink or blue flowers. Many silver-leaved plants are of Mediterranean origin, and the majority are sun-lovers, accustomed to well-drained soils; they stand up well to extremes of weather provided they are not waterlogged… There are a number of silver-leaved plants suitable for small gardens. Artemisias bring a whisper of the past into the gardens… several were well-loved plants in our great grandparents' time. A. abrotanum is the Southernwood, sometimes quaintly named Old Man or Lad's Love... because the ashes were once used to encourage hair growth (on bald heads and young faces). It is pleasantly aromatic ... I like to dry the leaves for potpourri and herb pillows; they also ward off moths. For a key position before dark foliage, grow Verbascum bombyciferum (Giant Silver Mullein)… a really stately plant. Reaching 4-5 ft tall from a flat, leafy rosette, its stout stem is entirely covered, as are the leaves, with cotton wool-like tufts of hair, through which the soft yellow flowers gleam like watery suns. Although biennial, the plant reproduces freely from seed; the seedlings can be transplanted when they are about the size of a penny. The late Constance Spry used to under carpet crimson roses with Stachys byzantina (syn. S. lanata), the plush-leaved Lamb's Ear. [She complained] about the need to remove the flower heads because they spoilt the effect. She would have loved the new variety [of Lamb’s Ear known as] Silver Carpet, which is flowerless.” Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
This special episode departs from the usual schedule, as there's a particularly pressing aspect to this one. Dr Anne Poelina is a Nyikina Warrwa (Indigenous Australian) woman who belongs to the Mardoowarra, the lower Fitzroy River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. She is also Chair of the esteemed Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council. When Anne and I last spoke for the podcast, in Broome a few years ago, I said this: “If anywhere epitomizes the critical time we're in, it's in the spectacular cultural and natural landscapes of her homeland. Almost incredibly, there are 40,000+ fracking wells slated for this area, along with the damming of the Fitzroy River, and more ‘old-model' industrial agriculture. Yet the next economy is also in tow here, and this is where Anne is currently focusing her extraordinary breadth of cross-cultural knowledge and experience.” Three years on and a power of work has been done. This includes the forming of Regenerative Songlines Australia. It's to launch in NAIDOC Week. And while that ‘old industrial model' lurks in the Kimberley, a profound new film screened last week called The Serpent's Tale. It documents the creation of Martuwarra, the National Heritage listed Fitzroy River. And its launch draws attention to an important state government submission process on now, while invoking deeper connection with the River and Country generally. This episode was recorded on 20 May and released on 24 May 2021, the anniversary of the exploding of the Juukan Gorge last year, which destroyed a 46,000-year heritage site. A reminder that the stakes couldn't be higher, in terms of staving off disaster, but also ushering in the emerging new story of connection and regeneration. For those less familiar with Anne, she is also an international award winner, Managing Director of Madjulla Incorporated, a qualified nurse, traditional midwife, has multiple postgraduate degrees, and over 30 years' experience in Indigenous health, education, language and community development.

Steve is the editor of Flicks.co.nz. Listen to the audio above as he joins Francesca Rudkin to talk about the latest in entertainment news, including the release of Oscar-nominated film, The Father.Below, read a review of The Father by Wenlei Ma from news.com.auThe Father is not flashy. It doesn't have gunfights, a rousing monologue or an epic historical moment to memorialise. But it is an incredible film.It's incredible in a low-key way in that it's difficult to pinpoint one particular element that bursts through because this is a movie where everything is working at its peak to create a spectacular whole. It's a symphony of cinematic arts.From the production design and the editing to the screenplay by director Florian Zeller and famed scribe Christopher Hampton, plus the powerhouse performances from Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, there is no weak link in The Father.It balances anguish and sorrow with humour and farce, a tragicomedy that could have graced the most hallowed of stages.In fact, it did. French playwright Zeller adapted The Father from his stage production. (It had a run in Sydney with John Bell as the lead.) It's Zeller's movie directorial debut, working in collaboration with Hampton who had translated the play, La Pere, to English.The transition from stage to screen – often a staid misadventure – has served The Father well. Zeller maintains the dynamism of the emotional and psychological beats while Yorgos Lamprino's effective editing plunges audiences into the fractured mind of its title character.Hopkins portrays Anthony (a character that was previously unnamed in its stage iterations), an older man who has lived in the same apartment for many years. He likes to sit in his chair and listen to his records.His daughter Anne (Colman) visits daily but on this day, she brings with her two pieces of news. The first is his latest in-home helper has quit after a recent, blazing row. The second is that Anne is moving to Paris.Anthony insists he doesn't need another helper, especially ones he suspects of thieving his watch.The next day, Anthony finds a man (Mark Gatiss) he doesn't recognise in his apartment, but the man tells him his name is Paul, Anne's husband. When Anne comes home, Anthony is even more confused – as is the audience because instead of Olivia Colman walking in the door, it's now Olivia Williams.The Father plays with the audience's perspective by putting us in the shifting world of Anthony, throwing us for a curve every time Anthony is confused, belligerent or paranoid.This masterfully crafted film tells the story of dementia and memory loss in a way that makes it so visceral, triggering deep emotional reactions from anyone who has encountered the insidious disease in their family and friends.The staging of Anthony's apartment, subtly transformed from sequence to sequence is a rare example of a production design that doesn't just set the scene but is integral to the story and the character arc. Peter Francis' work here is superb and deserves to win the Oscar he's nominated for, one of six nods the film is vying for.The Father has been the quiet achiever of this year's awards season, unable to grab the headlines its competitors have been dominating but has been gathering nominations across various bodies as it's released globally.It risks being overlooked because an intimate family drama starring two acclaimed British actors doesn't have the pizzazz or excitement of some of the other rightly lauded titles this year, and the heaviness of its subject – the pain and indignity of ageing – can be confronting or off-putting.While it seems unnecessary to point out at this stage in his long career that Hopkins is an outstanding performer, it's in roles like he has here, where he can stretch his range without being asked to chew scenes, that it's profoundly undeniable.Watching him and Colman interact is an absolute gift while every supporting role, including Williams, Gatiss, Imogen...

This week, Anne Lipcsey shares the story of her after-hours ceremony in the Hub at Magic Kingdom and reception at East Plaza Garden. When Anne and Robert’s May 2020 Sea Breeze Pointe wedding was postponed due to COVID-19, they rescheduled for November 2020. About a month before the event, their planner suggested they switch to an after-hours theme park wedding to avoid the mask requirement for outdoor resort venues, and Magic Kingdom was one of the available locations! Today, Anne discusses the COVID-19 safety protocols in place for her wedding, her top menu picks, and her favorite memory of the whole event. And for those who think they can’t have an after-hours Disney theme park wedding because guests will be too tired, she shares how not one of her guests—not even the 6-year-old—fell asleep or left her 11pm–3am wedding early!

In Chapter 33 of Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, Anne is reciting "The Maiden's Vow" at a concert at the White Sands Hotel. Diana helps Anne get ready at Green Gables, and the girls ride over with Jane Andrews and her brother Billy. When Anne gets to the performers' dressing room, she suddenly is struck by how wealthy many of the performers are, and is paralyzed by stage fright -- until she notices Gilbert Blythe in the crowd.Will Anne be able to recite her poem? Will the audience be as critical as she fears? Will Anne be so dazzled by all the "wealth and culture" that she is no longer content with her life in Avonlea? After the chapter reading, stick around for reflections with Lauren Burke, host of the podcast Bonnets at Dawn (this part of the episode begins at 19:06). Lauren and I talk about what makes Montgomery such a good writer; themes of imposter syndrome, shame and class in this chapter; and why Lauren wants to read this chapter to her daughter someday.

I know this is called "ExOilfield"... but it’s not because everyone in these interviews is no longer in the industry. ExOilfield alludes to many of the listeners, too. The idea is to expand your horizons and look outside of the traditional oil and gas roles. This conversation could not come at a better time. If you’re in college, a new graduate, or just looking for some inspiration, you will gain a lot from our discussion. When I graduated in 2011 and started my traditional career path at ConocoPhillips, the thought of going into Sales or Business Development in the Tech space out of school didn’t even show up on my radar… and now I’m in Business Development outside of Exploration and Production companies (E&Ps). I wish I had heard this story 9 years ago. I learned so many things from Annie during our conversation. Anne's original career projection upon graduating with her Masters in Geoscience was to become an exploration geologist and help find the next great oilfields. As we all know, not everything always works out as you initially plan. And as you’ll hear, that can be a great thing! . Anne had several oil and gas internships learning the conventional oil and gas fields in Louisiana. She wanted to carve her own path and live in a city that fit her personality and lifestyle, ultimately targetting Austin, TX. So, she started looking for "Geologist-esque jobs” of all kinds. She never went into a traditional petrotechnical role and is extremely happy in her position as an internal trainer on the sales success team.-----As Anne started her career in her business development / sales role, Enverus was growing rapidly.

Anne Beiler was 40 years old when she came up with the Auntie Anne’s brand for her famous soft pretzels. The company, now owned by private equity firm Roark Capital Group, has over 1,800 stores worldwide and annual sales of $800 million. Growing up in an Amish community, Anne Beiler did not think about pursuing a career. She wanted to get married and raise a family. In her 20s, Anne married Jonas who was a mechanic and they were both lived happily on a farm. But on September 8, 1975, Anne was 26 years old when her second daughter Angie was killed in a tractor accident. Anne eventually sought counsel from a well-respected pastor in their community, but this would soon turn into seven years of sexual and religious abuse from him. When Anne finally had the courage to “confess” to her husband, Anne and Jonas got help through counseling. Out of that experience, Jonas wanted to change his career to become a counselor to help others in the community. Anne soon realized that she may need to find a job to support Jonas. So, in her late 30s, Anne started working at a farmer’s market making pretzels. Starting her own franchising business had a set of challenges Anne never imagined. But she took it one day at a time. Anne shares how she borrowed $6,000 to buy the first store, how they came up with the secret recipe for Auntie Anne’s pretzels, and how she relied on her faith to get through the challenges of franchising the business and expanding the business nationwide. Anne also shares nuggets of wisdom on how she overcame the insecurity of having an 8th grade education as the CEO of Auntie Anne’s. She also gives insight on how and when she came to terms with selling the business. And most importantly, she opens up on how Jonas’ commitment to love her during their toughest days has made her into the women she is today. Anne Beiler is now 71 years old, living each day with hope and freedom from her past. She wants the world to not just be inspired by the story of her starting Auntie Anne’s, but to also be encouraged by how she was able to break free from the most confusing, dark and depressing time of her life. Her latest book “Secret Lies Within” shares the details behind her abusive past, and more importantly, it provides an outlet for anyone who can relate. ______ Get a digital or paper copy of Anne Beiler’s books from the links below (to support Faith Collides): Secret Lies Within: https://amzn.to/39TlhUY Twist of Faith: https://amzn.to/38XOkoS Special thanks for this episode: Anne Beiler, Gentry Lusby, Jennifer Phelps and Patricia Robson Love Anne’s story and want to know more?

Selling the Dream: A Podcast for Resort & 2nd Home Real Estate Agents
Have you ever thought about starting over? Maybe leaving everything behind, and starting in a new place. Perhaps a resort market; the place you’ve always dreamed of. On this podcast, we talk a lot about selling the dream to our leads and clients: but we are living our own dream! We’ve chosen to live a more flexible job where we can set our own hours, do the work that we want to do, and the only thing that stops us from making limitless income is the number of hours in the day and our drive to do the work! So what if you were to go to an entirely new market? What would happen? What could you expect? It will be an adventure for sure - and that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of the Selling the Dream podcast! Anne Eliason made the move from Arizona to Hawaii, and she’s here to share the details. She’s been through so many major changes during her real estate career, and has not only survived, but she also has thrived. I’d like to challenge you to listen to this episode, and think about how she’s adapted and changed throughout her career, and what you can implement in your own career as you embrace change and unpredictability.

When there was an economic downturn, Anne sold EVERYTHING - she did whatever deal came her way. Got someone you want to work with? Consistently reach out to them! Anne wrote hand-written notes weekly to a company that she wanted to work with. It took 3-4 months, but they went to HER when they had a need because she had been consistent. If you’re going to reach out, be strategic - find out who the decision makers are and connect with them. When you’re chasing a client - especially a big client, like working with a bank and foreclosures - know your strengths and how to leverage them. Be ready to say NO if it is completely draining to you! Big clients often require that you play by their rules: so you have to know if you’re willing to do that; if it’s your style. “Regardless of the market, there’s something for everyone.” Anne found herself with an opportunity to change after a breakup: she decided to move to Hawaii from Arizona, and rebuild her business. When Anne started working in her new market, the pipeline was longer because it was a resort market: keep that in mind if you ever change markets! If you’re moving to a new place, reach out to old clients! Update them, tell them where you’re going, and ask for referrals. You also never know when someone is ready to buy a new home and wants to work with someone they trust: YOU. Know what you have to offer, and ask clients if that is what they want! Anne chose to focus on open houses: for two years, she had an open house almost everyday. When starting over, you will need to build a strong web presence. That was one of the first things that Anne focused on. In the beginning, she spent roughly $2000 a month on advertising. That did bring in a lot of leads. There are so many ways to run your business: the key is to be adaptable and do what works best for you, whether it be advertising, working in your database, or referrals. Important: if you’re going to pay for leads, understand the funnel! Get to know the system. You may have a very long gestation period with clients. You just have to stay patient and connected. Your brand is your reputation. Focus on the value you provide. Do the right thing and the money will follow. Tom shares briefly why he moved from Joliet, Illinois to Maui.

When Anne and her husband became Christians, Anne prayed for a financial idea, leading to a business that took off.
When Anne was ten, she walked onto the school playground and a girl spat in her face after calling her ‘a dirty, Arab Muslim’. To her shock, the teacher did nothing. The incident sparked Anne's ongoing passion for justice
Anne O’Boyle Vlahos resides in Vermont with her husband and near their two children. She is still inspired today by her mother’s love of gardening and cooking and her father’s curiosity and love of nature. Her dog Moose is usually by her side when she’s home. Death was never an event Anne’s parents sheltered her from as she grew up. They took her to a wake for the first time at the age of two. Though only one of two children, Anne is from a large family with an abundance of opportunities to see that many struggled with loss for many reasons. When Anne finally lost Baba, her maternal grandmother, it was the beginning of her journey to develop a personal understanding of death, spirituality, and life’s meaning. This event, when she was twenty and starting her junior year in college, started deep conversations with her friends, intensive reading, classes, and sessions with several spiritual teachers and intuitives. As Anne explored, she was also aware that her intuition and inner guidance grew, as well. The first time she connected with someone who had passed was in 1992 at the age of thirty, following the death of Evelyn Isadore. Though not with great frequency, she has, since then, been visited by close relatives upon and after their passing. She learned that anything from action to acceptance to stillness can allow you to see the gifts that only a loved one’s departure can bring. She welcomes you to explore what gifts you too may find in that loss. Anne was born in Pennsylvania and raised in New Jersey by her parents, along with her sister. She attended the University of Delaware and Hunter College, receiving a BS and MS in Nutrition, which led to a thirty-year career in sales, marketing, and business development in the food industry.

Join JoAn and Kathy with DeW Life magazine Editor and Publisher, Anne Duffy. They all agree, Dentistry is a lifestyle and that's why it takes more time and energy from both people in any marriage! Many times it takes a Dew and a DeWd. Whether it's a female dental professional supported by a male spouse or as in Kathy and JoAn's case a female spouse who supports a practicing dentist in the practice and/or community. Anne's feelings (and actions) of collaboration and abundance drive her passion to give back.

When Anne forms a completely inexplicable friendship with a Russian h-mule, she and Richie land squarely in the cross hairs of the immortal Kirstov--- a mediocre drug dealer that pushes even worse art. The Rewatchers lose count of the number of times the work "Cossack" is used, hock fat loogies on the photos of their enemies, and (for the tenth time) ask for more Richie.
Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family hide from Nazis in Amsterdam. Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 to parents Otto and Edith Frank. After Anne and her older sister Margot were born in Germany, the family moved to the Netherlands in 1933 to escape Nazi prosecution. Unfortunately, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands in 1940 and caught up with the Franks two years later. When served notice that they would be deported to a labour camp, Margot and Otto gathered the family together and went into hiding on July 6, 1942. There, in an annex of Otto’s business at 263 Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, they huddled with another Jewish family, the van Pels, for 25 months. In August 1944, someone betrayed the group, and they were arrested. The two families were sent by sealed cattle car to Auschwitz on September 3, 1944. Hermann van Pels was gassed at Auschwitz three days later. Anne and Margot died within days of one another a few months after that at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Otto was the only one to survive. Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday, just days before the family went into hiding. In it she kept a journal of their daily life. When Anne’s broken-hearted father found her diary, he had it published. Little did he imagine how widely it would be read and what an influence it would have on the world. The Diary of Anne Frank has been published in more than 55 languages around the world with exhibits and even Broadway plays telling her story.

When Anne first thought of starting a podcast, her bookstore-owning friend Holland Saltsman was one of the very first people she wanted to have on. And she was one of the first people Anne interviewed for the show. And the audio quality on that recording was so poor Anne was terrified to give it another go for almost a full year.Holland is one of Anne's favorite people to talk books with, because she's smart, and funny, and tells it like it is. She's been excited about this one for a long time.

This is a story is a glimpse into his relationship with his daughter Anne. When Anne wrecked the car on her way to her high school graduation, she wasn’t sure how her dad would respond. Find out what Billy Graham did.
Timing is important. When Anne and I met we were in college, we were both single, and we were both open to being in a romantic relationship. We sometimes joke that had we met in high school we would not have dated. A few years in college had transformed us from the people we had been in high school. Jesus didn’t begin his ministry until John had completed his ministry. The first thing that Jesus said, was to make the claim that the timing was right. Jesus proclaimed that at that moment, God was doing something new. The kingship of God in the world was being revealed through Jesus. Everything that follows in this story of Jesus is built around this idea, it’s time for good news to come from God; good news that God’s kingship of the world has begun.

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: The Stanley Springs Matter, Scenes 6-8 Photo by Bigstock Photo: Quality Stock ArtsJOHNNY DOLLAR: I’m going to get word out. I’m going to call the nearest Treasury Department office.ANNE: Oh, no, Johnny! This is Stanley Springs. The company owns everything and Stager has thought of everything. There’s only one telephone in town. That’s in the company office. A surprising tip: Johnny is having a hard time finding his supposed whistleblower, Phillips. When Anne gets off work at 4 in the morning, he talks to her. He takes the risk of blowing his cover to earn her trust. He lets her know who he really is and why he’s there. By doing this, he finds out what Anne knows. Phillips is, indeed, the whistleblower - the one who sent the mysterious note. Surprisingly, it is through a tip from Childs that he finds Phillips. Why does the company seem to want him to find some things out? It's a real 'cat and mouse game' that the Stanley Springs company is playing with Johnny - letting him think he's getting close to rescuing Phillips, getting word out, and escaping from Stanley Springs, but all the while controlling how much Johnny can really do. Steger and the company believe that, in the end, they will crush Johnny and prevent him from reaching his goal. Have fun learning the keywords with English-Chinese Flashcards and Games.DL022 Keywords on Quizlet Johnny knows for sure that Phillips is the whistleblower, but he isn’t able to protect him. Phillips is dead and Anne is likely the next target… or is she really the ‘femme fatale’? Have you figured that out yet? When Johnny found Phillips dead, he also found something that proved to him that it wasn’t suicide. But he called it a worthless piece of evidence. What could it be? What did the killer leave behind at the crime scene? And if it proved to Johnny that it wasn’t suicide, why does he call it ‘worthless’ — of no value? Any guesses? Leave your comments below.
