  • The Founder Effect
    Baen Books Teacher Guide: The Founder Effect Contents: o recommended reading levels o initial information about the anthology o short stories grouped by themes o guides to each short story including the following: o author’s biography as taken from the book itself o selected vocabulary words o content warnings (if any) o short summary o selected short assessment questions o suggested discussion questions and activities Recommended reading level: The Founder Effect is most appropriate for an adult audience; classroom use is recommended at a level no lower than late high school. Background: Published in 2020 by Baen Books, The Founder Effect tackles the lens of history on its subjects—both in their own words and in those of history. Each story in the anthology tells a different part of the same world’s history, from the colonization project to its settlement to its tragic losses. The prologue provides a key to the whole book, serving as an introduction to the fictitious encyclopedia and textbook entries which accompany each short story. Editors’ biographies: Robert E. Hampson, Ph.D., turns science fiction into science in his day job, and puts the science into science fiction in his spare time. Dr. Hampson is a Professor of Physiology / Pharmacology and Neurology with over thirty-five years’ experience in animal neuroscience and human neurology. His professional work includes more than one hundred peer-reviewed research articles ranging from the pharmacology of memory to the first report of a “neural prosthetic” to restore human memory using the brain’s own neural codes. He consults with authors to put the “hard” science in “Hard SF” and has written both fiction and nonfiction for Baen Books.

  • The Neurotic Superhero
    THE NEUROTIC SUPERHERO From Comic Book to Catharsis There’s a historical pattern around the popularity of the superhero—he or she is most needed during dark times in the real world. In Captain America: The First Avenger, when Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) visits the US troops to boost morale, it’s more than mere fiction; it’s art imitating life. Sales of comic books actually increased during the Second World War. Service men and women needed such stories of bravery and triumph as an inspiration, to which they could also escape. Comics were portable, easy to share and inexpensive. The Golden Age of Comics began during the Great Depression, and it’s perhaps no coincidence that the game-changing movie for our current generation of superheroes, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, was released in 2008—the same year that saw the worst global economic crisis since the 1930s. We needed a hero; 2008 also happened to be the year that President Obama was first elected into office. The Dark Knight paved the way for the superhero shows and movies we’re still watching, a decade later. Of course, it wasn’t the first edgy, darker iteration of !1 the comic book superhero—Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man series and Tim Burton’s version of Batman had started to push the boundaries, together with the X-Men franchise, which focuses on the persecution and genocide of minority “mutant” superheroes. But it is Nolan’s Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) who crosses that line: he’s not just heroic but deeply flawed.

Understanding SJW logic and why it is destroying John Ringo science fiction Chattanooga, Tennessee April 28, 2015 at 7:00pm Various people during the whole Hugo/Sad Puppies kerfuffle have remarked 'I don't understand the logic.' This is an attempt to explain it. Because there is a logic. It's not even Notes by John Ringo a complicated logic and here's the fun part: I sort of agree with the logic. All Notes The first point that has to be recognized as historically valid: White males have dominated the planet's art, music, culture, politics and wars for centuries and often deliberately at the Get Notes via RSS expense of non-European, non-white, etcetera. This is historically unquestionable and Embed Post unassailable. The sole exception to that might be music but even there various 'persons of color' who were excellent musicians were relegated to second class status purely for reasons of color. (There's also the issue of 'why could white males, who were always seriously outnumbered and almost always seriously outgunned do all that?' but let's not get into that.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019 to Our Bay Scholars Community
    BAY SCHOLARS ANNUAL REPORT 2019 To our Bay Scholars Community s I reflect on the past year for Bay Scholars, I find myself grateful to be in community with our Scholars, partner schools, and community partners. I am delighted to share the 2019 annual report for Bay Scholars. This report is compiled as the twelfth—and largest—class of Bay Scholars settles into their respective high school communities, beginning their journey to higher education. Over the past decade, Bay Scholars has grown to serve 500 students at 14 schools across five counties in the Bay Area. The work of Bay Scholars focuses on identifying talented students who face significant socioeconomic challenges, and connecting them with high-quality educational opportunities to support their academic, social-emotional, and personal development. To help their success, Bay Scholars actively engages students on their educational journey. Opportunities such as mentorship, college campus visits, summer leadership programs, and professional and community events enrich student development as they prepare for college. From its inception, Bay Scholars has aimed to be a hub for change. By maintaining a focus on college matriculation and completion, this goal is materializing. One hundred percent of Bay Scholars students have matriculated to college. In the pages ahead, you will meet some of our students, like Simone Fernandez, Bay Scholars Class of 2019, and learn what drives them. You will see the impact they are beginning to have in their communities—impact made possible by access to education. The growth of Bay Scholars is exciting for our community, and we recognize this would not be possible without the generous investment of our donors.
