The woman who mapped Labrador : the life and expedition diary of Mina Hubbard
\"As Anne Hart's biography shows, Mina Benson Hubbard's life (1870-1956) was an adventure of frequent reinvention. Raised on an Ontario pioneer farm, Mina Benson was a shy nurse in New York when she married Leonidas Hubbard, an ambitious American journalist. Following his death during his 1903 attempt to cross Labrador, the devoted housewife set out to complete his expedition. While in England to finish her now-famous book, she met and married Harold Ellis, the scion of a landed North Country family. Mina became an enthralling public speaker, part of intellectual London circles, and involved with women's suffrage and other burning issues of the day.\"

A biography of ulpian fulwell and a critical edition of the art of flattery(1576)
The thesis consists of a biography of Ulpian Fulwell (1546-1586) and a critical edition of The Art of Flattery (1576). The biography contains new material derived from documents at the Public Record Office and the Gloucester Diocesan Registry, giving new information on Fulwell's family background and his career as a clergyman. It is argued that the conflict between the townspeople of Wells and the Cathedral clergy provides the background and impetus for Fulwell's satire in The Art of Flattery. The critical edition of The Art of Flattery outlines the printing history of the book and discusses the variants between the first and second editions, and between the two copies of the first edition. The identification of the Archdeacon of Wells attacked in the Fifth Dialogue is attempted. The Literary Introduction sets Fulwell's satirical dialogues in the context of Lucian, the colloquies of Erasmus, and the English Renaissance dialogues of More, Elyot and Ascham. A critical analysis of the work traces its form to the bipartite structure of classical verse satire, with its confrontation between Author and Adversarius.
Dissertation
Many people ensured safety of SCITS students
Thank you to the staff of SCITS. We should indeed be proud of the willingness of the teaching staff to assist with both the lockdown and the evacuation of the students. No teacher hesitated to come forward to help during this potentially dangerous situation. The parents of SCITS students can be assured that their children are in caring, compassionate hands. Most importantly, I would like to thank the students of SCITS. These young people were co-operative and showed great maturity as they sat patiently in their classrooms with their teachers, then in an orderly fashion evacuated the school. The students at SCITS are truly a remarkable group of young people.

Personal words: writing a journal: Some years ago, Memorial University English professor Roberta Buchanan learned the value of keeping a journal. She shares some thoughts on capturing your life story, one day at a time
Then one day I read an article in Psychology Today about Ira Progoff's journal workshops. He claimed that his series of journal- writing exercises helped break through those psychological blocks. I was skeptical, but I went to one of his workshops in the U.S. Progoff suggests that we also write a list of the significant people in each stepping-stone period (Significant Others) and choose one of them to write a dialogue with. We begin by trying to reconstruct the Stepping-Stones of the Other, then imagine them sitting opposite us, their expression, what they are wearing, and then we start to speak to them and allow them to answer. There's also our Hall of Champions, those who have encouraged us. I could immediately think of a Monster: Geoffrey, a fellow graduate student who trashed my writing. Our Monsters are the source of our lack of self-confidence: \"acknowledge creative injuries and grieve them,\" [Julia Cameron] urges. \"Otherwise they become creative scar tissue and block your growth.\"
