  • JOHN BULL's OTHER ISLAND by BERNARD SHAW ACT I Great
    JOHN BULL'S OTHER ISLAND by BERNARD SHAW ACT I Great George Street, Westminster, is the address of Doyle and Broadbent, civil engineers. On the threshold one reads that the firm consists of Mr Lawrence Doyle and Mr Thomas Broadbent, and that their rooms are on the first floor. Most of their rooms are private; for the partners, being bachelors and bosom friends, live there; and the door marked Private, next the clerks' office, is their domestic sitting room as well as their reception room for clients. Let me describe it briefly from the point of view of a sparrow on the window sill. The outer door is in the opposite wall, close to the right hand corner. Between this door and the left hand corner is a hatstand and a table consisting of large drawing boards on trestles, with plans, rolls of tracing paper, mathematical instruments and other draughtsman's accessories on it. In the left hand wall is the fireplace, and the door of an inner room between the fireplace and our observant sparrow. Against the right hand wall is a filing cabinet, with a cupboard on it, and, nearer, a tall office desk and stool for one person. In the middle of the room a large double writing table is set across, with a chair at each end for the two partners. It is a room which no woman would tolerate, smelling of tobacco, and much in need of repapering, repainting, and recarpeting; but this is the effect of bachelor untidiness and indifference, not want of means; for nothing that Doyle and Broadbent themselves have purchased is cheap; nor is anything they want lacking.

    Lambertville Historical Society’s The Quarterly Newsletter Nugget James Wilson Marshall House Museum Volume 9, Number 3 Summer 2020 www.LambertvilleHistoricalSociety.org Congratulations to Rylee Bordwick for winning the Lambertville Historical Society's $500 scholarship! A South Hunterdon Regional High School senior, Rylee will be studying at Lafayette College next year. For the application, Rylee interviewed longtime Lambertville resident Sharon DiSalvi about her first job. St. John Terrell’s Music Circus - Rylee Bordwick Imagine being able to see today's most talented artists in your hometown on a weekly basis. Imagine world famous bands and popular Broadway musicals drawing in crowds from all over to come see their shows in your backyard. This is what life was like in Lambertville. The St. John Terrell’s Music Circus opened in Lambertville in 1949 and lasted until 1970. It featured some of the biggest entertainers known at the time. Stars like Louis Armstrong, Johnny Mathis, and Mahalia Jackson came to Lambertville to give performances inside of the legendary giant circus tent that held around 2,000 people. If you were lucky enough to land a job at this unique music circus then you were in for the experience of a lifetime. During high school, from 1960-1964, Sharon DiSalvi worked at St. John Terrell’s Music Circus. To work at the music circus you had to be a jack of all trades. Sharon had to learn how to be an usher, a concession stand worker, she had to work the box office and the parking lot, and she even had to dress in a chicken outfit and serve chicken dinner to important performers and guests.

Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapter 29 Chapter 30 About Louis Sachar Imprint g Introduction This book contains thirty stories about the children and teachers at Wayside School. But before we get to them, there is something you ought to know so that you don’t get confused. Wayside School was accidentally built sideways. It was supposed to be only one story high, with thirty classrooms all in a row. Instead it is thirty stories high, with one classroom on each story. The builder said he was very sorry. The children at Wayside like having a sideways school. They have an extra-large playground. The children and teachers described in this book all go to class on the top floor. So there are thirty stories from the thirtieth story of Wayside School. It has been said that these stories are strange and silly. That is probably true. However, when I told stories about you to the children at Wayside, they thought you were strange and silly. That is probably also true. g g Chapter 1 Mrs. Gorf Mrs. Gorf had a long tongue and pointed ears. She was the meanest teacher in Wayside School.

  • The 7-Minute Workout
    The 7-Minute Workout If you’ve ever promised yourself that you would get back in shape just as soon as you could find the time, then the 7-Minute Workout may be for you. It’s a short, rapid-fire series of JUMPING JACKS exercises that use your own body weight. The order of exercises does matter: You should alternate working opposing muscle groups, and follow exercises that crank your heart rate up with those that cool it down a bit. Check with your doctor before taking on any new exercise routine, to make sure it is right for you. There are 12 exercises. Each should take 30 seconds, with a 10-second “break”. It’s called the “7-Minute Workout,” but you really get maximum benefit from repeating the circuit at least three times. WALL SITS If you’re new to exercise, or it’s been a while, it’s a good idea to get a gym instructor or other fitness pro to help you with proper form. JUMPING JACKS Start with something you learned in elementary school: jumping jacks. Stand up with your legs spread and your hands touching overhead. Then as you jump, bring your legs back together and put your arms to your sides. You can speed these up or slow them down to suit your fitness level. Do this for 30 seconds, take a 10-second break, and go right to the PUSH-UPS next move. WALL SITS Stand with your back to a wall, feet hip-width apart and slightly in front of you.
