![]() ![]() Alcohol is mentioned again when the groundskeeper at Misselthwaite manor, Ben Weatherstaff, talks about another man being "drunk as a lord" and beating his wife. With no one to care for her, Mary becomes thirsty, drinks an abandoned glass of wine from her parents' dining table, and goes to sleep. Early in the novel, Mary's parents and many servants in the household die of cholera, leaving 10-year-old Mary alone. Mary also takes an unkind, superior attitude toward servants and recalls losing her temper and slapping her Ayah (Indian nursemaid). Indians are referred to as "natives" and "blacks," and Mary is angry and insulted when she's compared to them. That said, it includes some racist ideas about class, colonization, and Indian people. For generations, this 1909 novel has inspired a love of nature and simple pleasures in young readers. Friendship and the restorative powers of nature help the children gain good spirits and health. Jeffrey Masson considers it, "one of the greatest books ever written for children".Parents need to know that Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden is a beautifully written book about two selfish, disagreeable English cousins - Mary and Colin - whose lives and dispositions are transformed when they find their way into a locked, walled garden. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children." It was one of the "Top 100 Chapter Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. ![]() In 2003, the novel was listed at number 51 on the BBC's survey The Big Read. The book is often noted as one of the best children's books of the twentieth century. With the rise of scholarly work in children's literature over the past quarter-century, The Secret Garden has steadily risen to prominence, and is now one of Burnett's best-known works. Lundin noted that the author's obituary notices all remarked on Little Lord Fauntleroy and passed over The Secret Garden in silence. Tracing the book's revival from almost complete eclipse at the time of Burnett's death in 1924, Anne H. The Secret Garden paled in comparison to the popularity of Burnett's other works for a long period. Marketing to both adult and juvenile audiences may have had an effect on its early reception the book was not as celebrated as Burnett's previous works during her lifetime. The psychoanalytic school in particular continue to emphasize the power of mind over body. The same fundamental struggle continues today though, especially in the area of psychology and mental distress where differing 'schools of thought' prevail. This struggle also existed in the Christian Science movement that Burnett followed. The children, by their own observations, strengthened by the common-sense of Dickon's family, break free of the imposed regime and triumph. Servants and father are seen to do harm by getting caught up in false ideas that come from the doctor who espouses medical practices of the day, though another doctor does take a different view. Wells's short story 'The Door in the Wall' described a similarly transforming secret garden.) The story constitutes a struggle between common sense and the accepted wisdom of the day, in which common sense wins. 2] Using the garden motif, Burnett explores the healing power inherent in living things. 1] The secret garden at Misselthwaite Manor is the site of both the near-destruction and the subsequent regeneration of a family. The garden is the book's central symbol, inspired by Burnett's interest in Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science theories. She is sent to Yorkshire, England to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven at his home called Misselthwaite Manor. She is discovered alone but alive after the house is empty. Later, there is a cholera epidemic which hits India and kills her mother, father and all the servants. Spoiled and with a temper, she is unaffectionate, angry, rude and obstinate. She was taken care of primarily by servants, who pacify her as much as possible to keep her out of the way. Mary Lennox is a sour-faced, sassy, 10-year-old girl, who is born in India to selfish wealthy British parents who had not wanted her and were too wrapped up in their own lives. Several stage and film adaptations have been produced. ![]() ![]() It is now one of Burnett's most popular novels, and is considered to be a classic of English children's literature. It was initially published in serial format starting in the autumn of 1910, and was first published in its entirety in 1911. The Secret Garden is a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. ![]()

Proposals for redeveloping the decommissioned diesel plant site include a mixed-use event center, housing and a hotel. The building on the site was previously used by the Grand Haven Board of Light and Power, and the bid solicitation process started in fall 2020. ![]() The city is also wrapping up a public input process to determine redevelopment plans for city-owned property at 518 Harbor Drive, less than a mile west from the Stanco property along the Grand River. The development received a Michigan Community Revitalization Program loan for $4.75 million along with $1.38 million in brownfield incentives. The project is planned at the former Stanco Metal Property at 105 Fulton St. Redevelopment of a couple vacant properties is also in the works with the planned 124-unit Peerless Flats apartment project, which was recently approved by the city. “Our goal is not to have a seasonal downtown, so it all really ties together as you’re developing a plan and supporting those local businesses.” Developing vacant properties “We pride ourselves in being a year-round economy because we have a very strong manufacturing base,” Gaasch said. The master plan includes details about an all-seasons structure that could house the farmers market, as well as opportunities for public-private partnerships to occur that will result in revenue generating businesses or facilities to help the city pay for the cost of maintaining the waterfront, Gaasch said. “It’s refreshing this plan can take that into consideration.” “Moving forward, as we look at things that can bring a vibrancy to the waterfront that will impact the economic vitality of the community, everyone’s focused in that direction,” Gaasch said. “It’s always been a really vital part of attracting visitors and it’s really a vital part of the continued renewal of our community and of placemaking.”Īn attractive downtown with updated waterfront amenities will help market Grand Haven, Gaasch said. ![]() “The redevelopment of that piece of the waterfront is a critical part of the draw to the waterfront in the Grand Haven area,” Gaasch said. to fund the planning and design process for redeveloping the waterfront. The planning project was propelled by a $1.5 million grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. “We had to tear it down and start from scratch and decided to find out what the community wanted to see there.” “It was something beyond our control,” McGinnis said. A couple of shops also moved into storefronts downtown. High water levels caused the mold, leading shops to be demolished and tenants moved into the Grand Trunk Depot on Harbor Drive. The waterfront redevelopment process surfaced after mold was discovered in late 2019 in the structure that housed the shops along Chinook Pier. “Now we’re looking at how feasible this plan is, how likely it is and we’ll do some additional design work and see about engaging with private partners,” McGinnis said. The municipality gathered public feedback over the summer about redevelopment concepts for the waterfront, which include constructing an all-seasons farmers market area, green space, play structures and shops.ĭespite the pandemic, city staff gathered public comment on the waterfront master plan concepts by setting up outdoor town hall meetings and displays outside where people could leave comments, said City Manger Pat McGinnis. The city is going through a master planning process to redevelop its waterfront along the Chinook Pier and beyond, with a goal of increasing the connectivity between downtown and the riverfront. “It’s been important that we’ve been able to engage people in the discussions, and certainly city staff has been phenomenal in keeping on top of these projects and making sure that people are informed and engaged.” “This has been a year to do some good planning,” Gaasch said. Grand Haven Chamber of Commerce President Joy Gaasch looks at the most recent redevelopments as a critical way to draw visitors to and retain talent in the community - and something that will help with a post-pandemic economic recovery, she said. The city also just approved a planned 124-unit housing development on the former Stanco Metal property near downtown. Grand Haven is going through a large-scale master plan update for its Grand River waterfront, as well as determining the future of a decommissioned diesel plant on city-owned property.

Is Zigzag Plant Lucky There is no one answer to this question as it depends on who you ask. If you cut numerous stems, your plant won't need as much water. Because of its easy propagation and fast growth, this plant can be grown in water and is easily propagated from a cutting. Many songbirds consume small amounts of goldenrod seed, while grouse and other gamebirds eat the leaves. Let cutting dry several days before setting in rooting medium. The Zig zag cactus (selenicereus anthonyanus) is a very special tropical flowering cactus native to Mexico and South America. Diseases and pests The houseplant is extremely robust. The shoots form roots quite reliably at a soil temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius under a foil hood. The Chippewa chewed zigzag goldenrod root for a sore throat, the Haudenosaunee took a compound decoction of the plant to treat billiousness, the Menominee made a snuff of the dried leaves for headaches, and the Potawatomi treated fevers with whole-plant infusion.

To find out whether your printer supports duplex printing, check the printer manual or contact the printer manufacturer. Manual duplex printing requires two separate printing passes: one to print the front side, and another to print the back side. To print booklets, your printer must support either automatic or manual duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper). When you collate, fold, and staple the double-sided pages, the result is a single book with correct pagination. Each page is automatically centered on the sheet, and large pages are scaled (shrunk) to fit the printable area. The second page prints on the same sheet as the second-to-last page, and so on. The first page prints on the same printed sheet as the last page.

Some are only available to journalists, such as asking for media access to databases or contacting a journal’s or university’s press office. I read papers all the time as part of my work, and I access them through a dizzying patchwork of methods that I’ve found over the years. Fees for papers aren’t always included, or may not be enough to pay for all the papers that result. When they plan a set of experiments, they usually get the money by applying for a grant to cover their expenses (supplies, salaries, and a hefty chunk of change paid to their institution to cover rent and such). Scientists sometimes struggle to find the money to pay these fees. Their papers are free to read, but the authors have to pay a fee ” say, $4000 ” so that the publisher still gets paid. Open-access journals work a little differently. I suspect the journals’ business model here is for the $50 fee to be a barrier to entry, something that makes you go away if you’re not serious, and find a university library subscription if you are. If you read papers as part of your job or classwork, you’ll quickly go bankrupt paying $50 for every paper you need to skim. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who pays per-article fees. (The authors are employed by institutions such as universities and hospitals, and expected to put out papers as part of their job.) Not at a university library? The website is happy to put up a little shopping cart button to take your money ” often around $50 for a single paper.Įither way, the money goes to the publisher, not the paper’s authors. Libraries would buy subscriptions, of course.īut now that everything is digital, libraries pay subscription fees to provide access to their patrons. This model was solidified in the days when journals were all printed on paper and you had to buy them. ![]() Traditionally, no money changes hands between the scientists and the journal. These journals are publications that exist to publish scientific papers, and they’re typically peer-reviewed: When the journal receives a paper from a scientist, they send it to other scientists and ask whether the paper is worth publishing. Scientific journal articles aren’t the same as news stories in magazines or newspapers. Fortunately, there are ways to get your eyeballs on some of these journal articles without resorting to outright piracy ” and without paying exorbitant per-article fees.

If you want a game similar to Stonehearth but with a distinct spin of its own, check out AOE 2. The Definitive Edition has been remastered to 4K, so it comes with enhanced graphics that can run on the best graphics cards today. Or you can resort to an all-out war against other players once you have armies in place. So if you are someone who just wants to build, try not having enemies on the map. Since the AI in AOE can actually be smart, there is a fair bit of strategy mixed in. Moreover, players can progress their cities through different ages, including Dark, Feudal, Castle, and Imperial to unlock newer structures and units. Once you get building, you will see the extensive variety of buildings you can make, including popular Wonders of the World. That is combined with different civilizations that come with their own cultural history, including military units. Maps in AOE are divided across different biomes, and each has its own specialties. For that, make sure to employ the farming system for a nice meal for everyone in your city. Your villagers will also have kids, so make sure to keep them happy and well-fed as well. Since Founders’ Fortune relies on colonist psychology, you will need to manage their moods, expectations, and even their health.

So yeah, ANNO 1800 is a game similar to Stonehearth that expands on city building and takes it closer to the Age of Empires. If you make friends out of the opponents, you can even establish trade routes for profit.

While this game is similar to Stonehearth, Frostpunk is also one that might haunt you later on. While a decision might seem small, it might turn out to be damning later.

At one point or another, you’re given a chance to explore the surrounding areas for more information.įrostpunk does an excellent job of letting players manage resources but also throws in scenarios that require conscious emotional decisions that might hinder them. Frostpunk enables the player to develop existing technologies and make a world that is modern and futuristic. Like before, you must manage various aspects, including healthcare, food, work, and more. As the ruler of this city, it is up to you to not only build the city from scratch but also protect the people from certain elements and keep their spirits up.
