REF Of the books on female aviators, aeronauts, and astronauts currently in print, few match the geographic and chronological scope of this work. Welch, a former high school teacher and current story editor for the television series Touched By an Angel, has compiled 280 entries covering individuals as well as organizations, events, objects (safety belts/safety harnesses, space shuttles), and places having something to do with women and flight. It is impossible, however, for a work of this sort to be truly comprehensive, and a statement of the criteria used for selection would have been useful. The alphabetically arranged entries vary considerably in length and detail, and cross references are used inconsistently and are occasionally erroneous. Although not an essential purchase, this might find a place in women's studies or aviation collections.

A Textual Analysis of the Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21St Century Television
A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE CLOSER AND SAVING GRACE: FEMINIST AND GENRE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY TELEVISION Lelia M. Stone, B.A., M.P.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

“JESUS IS GREATER THAN ANGELS” Hebrews 1:1-14 (NLT) Based on Pastor Love Saquing’S Sermon on October 4, 2020
“JESUS IS GREATER THAN ANGELS” Hebrews 1:1-14 (NLT) Based on Pastor Love Saquing’s sermon on October 4, 2020 Through this devotion series written by Pastor Jim and Pastor Love, we invite the Brookdale family to focus on the promises of God’s Word together. We reflect on the previous Sunday’s sermon and provide thought-provoking questions to help you apply the lessons to your daily life. As we each read it from wherever God has planted us in this season, we pray that He will bring you a new sense of hope, clarity, and peace. Do you believe that angels exist? When I was a boy, my dad, younger brother and I went on a bike ride down Broad Street. My dad and brother were riding on my dad’s bike, and I was behind them on my little blue Schwinn bike. Suddenly, my dad’s 10-speed bike hit a deep pothole that caused my dad to crash his bike, tossing my brother onto the pavement and throwing my dad onto the blacktop. He hit the left side of his face on the road and got a deep gash above his left eye and forehead. I remember my brother lying on his belly in the middle of the road, crying in shock and fear. When I saw the accident happen in front of me, I stopped my bike but, as a little kid, I didn’t know what to do. My dad told me later that another “biker” came out of nowhere, stopped and then rang the doorbell of someone’s house right next to the street, who in turn called 911 and got the police and EMT to come.

Drew Carey Jumps to Top of List As the Nation's Favorite
The Harris Poll A Service of Harris Interactive THE HARRIS POLL #75 FOR RELEASE: DECEMBER 15, 1999 DREW CAREY JUMPS TO TOP OF LIST AS THE NATION’S FAVORITE TV PERSONALITY He moves ahead of Oprah Winfrey (#2), Bill Cosby (#3), Jerry Seinfeld (#4) and Kelsey Grammar (#5). _____________________________________________________ by Humphrey Taylor While primetime game shows such as Greed and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire seem to be captivating America these days, the stars of sitcoms and talk shows are most popular. Drew Carey tops the list of the nation’s favorite TV personalities, and Oprah Winfrey ranks a close second. These are the results of a Harris Poll of 1,011 adults surveyed by telephone between October 27 and November 2, 1999. Both sitcoms and talk shows provide America with a comforting diversion from reality. Both also offer well-publicized celebrities. This may explain why stars of these shows, and only these shows, comprise the list of America’s top 10 TV stars. While Drew Carey is #1, he is followed by several of his sitcom colleagues: Bill Cosby (#3), Jerry Seinfeld (#4), Kelsey Grammer (#5), Jennifer Aniston (#6), Tim Allen (#7), and Helen Hunt (#9). Interestingly, no stars from television’s most popular dramas such as Touched by an Angel or Law and Order rank anywhere on the list. Harris Interactive Inc. 111 Fifth Avenue NYC (212) 539-9600 In addition, the stars of TV talk shows, while rumored to be on the decline, capture several of the top spots: Oprah Winfrey (#2), Rosie O’Donnell (#8), Jerry Springer and Johnny Carson (tied for #10).
