Ghost Ship
Ghost Ship The Mary Celeste was the only unsolved mystery that I got into. I hate unsolved mysteries. They give the creeps and make me wanna hide under the covers and never see the light of day again. Mary Celeste was one that interested me and since it happened in 1872 I should be fine. That was a long while ago, unlike some mysteries that happened in 2016 or something along those lines, it was a while ago, so it doesn’t scare me as much. I will now explain what happened to The Mary Celeste and why it is an unsolved mystery.

A Prodigy, Stifled.
William James Sidis. Born to Boris and Sarah Sidis in 1898, William’s fate was perhaps written for him before he was even born. His Ukrainian parents were intellectual refugees who’d fled to the USA to escape political persecution; they were Jewish, so they were vulnerable to the pogroms. They were truly a power couple of the day — Boris was an eminent psychologist who attained four degrees from Harvard and would become known for his pioneering work in the realms of hypnosis and psychopathology. His mother was one of the few women of the time to attain a medical degree and be a practising doctor.

Nazis in our classes: Examining Society 50 Years After The Third Wave Experiment
Why did the German people let the holocaust happen?'. This question is one often asked of history teachers by their inquisitive students. It's a valid question and doesn't have a simple soundbite answer. The reasons sit deep in the complexity of human psychology.

Jane Austen The Novelist
Jane Austen is known as a novelist, but for me she was also an historian. Her novels go deep into detail about how life was at the end of the 18th Century --- for the British landed gentry. The plots within her novels explore how women were, how they thought and their dependence on marriage in order to get some sort of social standing and economic security. Jane questions the ‘sensibility’ of this Century and her use if biting irony, along with her realism, humour and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics, scholars and popular audiences. Her novels are part “of the transition to 19th Century literary realism.”

Chanute Field
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker has flown. Lord to God I wish it was not true, but now I have to tell his story. After all, he left me $20,000. And a stamp collection, a Boy Scout Handbook from the 1930s, a metal-encased pocket bible from WWII, and a little black book that looks its age -- eighty years, if it was eighteen years younger than he.

The Golden Thread
It was the middle of March in North Carolina and pine cones were tightly wound with expectation that the spring equinox would usher in some much needed Sun to aggregate the flora and fauna that grace the landscape with complexions of green only the inhabitants could fathom. The local species, both existing and emerging, await the spillage of colour onto the ground, and thusly overhead, and so forth all around as the lush nature will have added warmth to the woods by the time spring spirals into summer. Like spring cleaning, this rolling out of the leaves make it a chore to celebrate the simultaneous endings and new beginnings happening during the juxtaposition of this season, even if it were the pre-existing notions of Solace's 13th birthday. It was Wednesday and all seemed the same when the Matriarch of Solace's immediate family descended the spiral staircase of their mystical home with a gift in one hand and cigarette in the other, she typically did not practice but the thought of falling behind on the bills, a missed menstrual and only being able to afford to give her son the gift she swore to her father that she would give to Solace on his 13th birthday made for a haphazard display of emotions that could only be met with silence. There he was, fully dressed and awaiting breakfast followed by a sequence of events that would commemorate yet another revolution around the Sun. He was astute in nature, gifted for his age and well read to be an only child, due in part because he was homeschooled by the scholars in his family and spent summers being mentored by the family linguist, the family florist, the family neurologist and this summer he was due to meet his Aunt Carole, she was the family member most fluent in bookkeeping. Although, aside from beekeeping, it was uncertain how he would keep busy an entire season until summer vacation reconvened. His mother sat this matte black box with gold trim in front of him and wished him well on this day where his pubescence as a young man has made her so proud yet she cannot spare the showcase of emotions. She leaves him with the box and heads for the outdoor gazebo, a new routine she has picked up since the holidays. His eyes would follow her anytime she maneuvered out of his presence without a word from him. He seemingly manages to redirect his attention back to this box, daunting the lack of presentation to wonder what could be inside. There was no cake, no candles, only the resounding silence right before making a wish, no flame to extinguish and no smell of cooling candle wax mingling with icing. One of his hands managed to slip from his knee to initiate contact with the box; the other hand naturally meeting the box with curiosity. He would remove the one-time golden seal that ensured the box was securely fastened and opened only by the recipient to find a card made of pure gold implanted into the velvet fabric. Now that the card was dislodged from the cardholder of a box, it read: 'Freeman Library' but what would he do with a library card when he has the liberty to read from his expansive home library in which he has made a successful dent, purchase books online, or at the very least, anticipate any of the many books sent in the mail year-round at the expense of generous relatives that "want nothing but the best" for him? Solace had an idea. He would fully immerse himself in apiology and ecology to curb, and account for, the lack of bees that did not make it to their farm last year to produce enough hives for harvesting the honey that would financially cushion their family until his mother's divorce from his father were final. He had become observatory throughout the legal process but, nonetheless, aware of the legal concept of marriage, or divorce for that matter.
