  • An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King
    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King Compiled by Frances B. Krechel AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO: Mrs. L. H. Holyfield (Beulah Boggan) (Electronic version prepared by NP Computers for Mendenhall Public Library, Lu Ann Bailey Librarian) Due to her life-long (b. 1893) interest, and being a native Mississippian, Miss Beulah has gathered together many historical articles and books, and it is basically from this remarkable and vast collection that the enclosed material has been taken, her love of Mississippi history proved to be contagious. So it is with deep appreciation and a sincere “Thank You” for the special help and encouragement, that another chapter has been added to the extensive recording of the state’s heritage. Miss Beulah has also meticulously and lovingly chronicled the names and dates of her Boggan and related families and it is through this mutual family connection that the compiler became interested in the events concerning the early days. All of the stories have been selected from a series of articles written by the late Bee King, who was a well- known lawyer, historian and writer. The Simpson County News began running the series in their weekly newspaper in 1937 and continued until 1948. Mr. King’s writings are a graphic presentation of the life and times of early Simpson County. He interviewed the elderly citizens through out the area and uniquely recorded for posterity the experiences of the people in day to day living. The picture shows Mr. King in his office when he was Mayor of Mendenhall, the county seat of Simpson County.

  • Dear Bookstore Owner, February 16, 2021 Hello! My Name Is Capt
    Dear Bookstore Owner, February 16, 2021 Hello! My name is Capt. Christopher German and I would like to introduce you to Whither We Tend. ​ ​ Whither We Tend is a new novel that was released earlier this month by IngramSpark that I wrote at the ​ close of last year, during the political strife that gripped our nation. The winds of political change inspired me one night in October, in a dream I had, where I envisioned what a second civil war might look like for the United States. It no doubt came to me in light of the current events of the end of 2020, especially with what appeared to be the eventual outcomes that have indeed occurred since that time. What came from that dream was a pair of men who represent some of the perspectives of modern Americans, as well as a President who is so committed to saving his America, that he is willing to stomp on the Constitution and the necks of Americans to do it. Here is an excerpt from the description, “Simon Gates is a mild-mannered insurance agent from Stratford, Connecticut. Major Gus Spiros is a war-weary ex-contractor for the US Government. The two men meet by accident and start a series of events that will lead them both toward a war that will attempt to reclaim America. ….Just as Lincoln asked of the people in his House divided speech, Whither We Tend asks the question, whether we are heading towards a war that will tear us apart or a war that will unite us as a stronger and better Nation.

Melissa took our photograph outside, with Bobbi smoking and me self-consciously holding my left wrist in my right hand, as if I was afraid the wrist was going to get away from me. Melissa used a big professional camera and kept lots of different lenses in a special camera pouch. She chatted and smoked while taking the pictures. She talked about our performance and we talked about her work, which we’d come across on the internet. Around midnight the bar closed. It was starting to rain then, and Melissa told us we were welcome to come back to her house for a drink. We all got into the back of a taxi together and started fixing up our seat belts. Bobbi sat in the middle, with her head turned to speak to Melissa, so I could see the back of her neck and her little spoon-like ear. Melissa gave the driver an address in Monkstown and I turned to look out the window. A voice came on the radio to say the words: eighties … pop … classics.

    WHEN ATOMS BEHAVE AS WAVES: BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION AND THE ATOM LASER Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2001 by WOLFGANG KETTERLE* Department of Physics, MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, and Re- search Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, 02139, USA. INTRODUCTION The lure of lower temperatures has attracted physicists for the past century, and with each advance towards absolute zero, new and rich physics has emerged. Laypeople may wonder why “freezing cold” is not cold enough. But imagine how many aspects of nature we would miss if we lived on the surface of the sun. Without inventing refrigerators, we would only know gaseous mat- ter and never observe liquids or solids, and miss the beauty of snowflakes. Cooling to normal earthly temperatures reveals these dramatically different states of matter, but this is only the beginning: many more states appear with further cooling. The approach into the kelvin range was rewarded with the discovery of superconductivity in 1911 and of superfluidity in helium-4 in 1938. Cooling into the millikelvin regime revealed the superfluidity of helium-3 in 1972. The advent of laser cooling in the 1980s opened up a new approach to ultralow temperature physics. Microkelvin samples of dilute atom clouds were generated and used for precision measurements and studies of ultracold collisions. Nanokelvin temperatures were necessary to ex- plore quantum-degenerate gases, such as Bose-Einstein condensates first realized in 1995. Each of these achievements in cooling has been a major ad- vance, and recognized with a Nobel prize. This paper describes the discovery and study of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in atomic gases from my personal perspective.

  • The Science of “Fringe”
    THE SCIENCE OF “FRINGE” EXPLORING: HYPOTHERMIA A SCIENCE OLYMPIAD THEMED LESSON PLAN EPISODE 402: One Night in October Overview: Students will learn about hypothermia and its effects on the body. Grade Level: 9-12 Episode Summary: A serial killer “Over There” has killed numerous victims via a technique that involves lowering their brain temperature while he extracts certain memories from them. The suspect’s doppelganger “Over Here,” a professor who teaches Forensic Psychology, is enlisted to help and taken “Over There” to attempt to profile the suspect, without initially being informed of the nature of the assignment. He quickly discovers the truth, and escapes in an attempt to find the suspect and convince him that he doesn’t need to succumb to his dark temptations. Related Science Olympiad Event: Thermodynamics - Teams must construct an insulated device prior to the tournament that is designed to retain heat. Teams must also complete a written test on thermodynamic concepts. Learning Objectives: Students will understand the following: • Hypothermia is a decrease in the body’s core temperature below the normal range of 95-100°F. • Symptoms include confusion, blue skin, shivering, and decreased heart rates. • Rewarming techniques such as hot water bottles or warmed intravenous fluids can often successfully reverse the effects of hypothermia. Episode Scenes of Relevance: • John with his first victim (1:00:25 ‘who took that’ – 1:01:37 (victim freezes)) • “Over There” John with “Over Here” John (1:33:31 ‘how did’ – 1:34:38 ‘so dark’) © FOX/Science Olympiad, Inc./FringeTM/Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.

    The original "unsoiled" version of this book is available from http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~altemey/ I have taken the liberty of creating this "Commented" version to make it easier to understand my Comments in context. In short, this book addresses the biggest political Elephant In The Room that nearly all other "authorities" ignore - The problem of Authority itself. What Altemeyer's research has conclusively demonstrated is that most Authority, whether in the form of Leadership or Followership, is a psychotic condition which we ignore at our peril. Harry Stottle Nov 2008 The Authoritarians Bob Altemeyer Associate Professor Department of Psychology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada Copyright ©, 2006 by Bob Altemeyer Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgments Dedication Introduction Chapter 1 Who Are the Authoritarian Followers? Chapter 2 The Roots of Authoritarian Aggression, and Authoritarianism Itself Chapter 3 How Authoritarian Followers Think Chapter 4 Authoritarian Followers and Religious Fundamentalism Chapter 5 Authoritarian Leaders Chapter 6 Authoritarianism and Politics Chapter 7 What=s To Be Done? Preface I realize that my making this book available for free on the internet raises questions about my judgment, especially since I am a psychologist. The well-known theory of cognitive dissonance says that people will value something more if they pay a lot of money to get it. So how much will people value what they get for free? Also, if somebody can make money off a book, how much common sense can he have if he gives it away? Why should you read a book written by someone who has so little common sense? There=s a lot of convincing evidence that dissonance theory is right, and so I am running the risk of your saying, AIt can=t be any good if it=s free.@ But there is another psychological principle which says if people experience something that meets a need, it will be a rewarding experience.

  • Lonnie Holley in the New York Times (PDF↓)
    Holley also says he dug graves, picked trash at a drive-in, drank too much gin, was run over by a car and pronounced brain-dead, picked cotton, became a father at 15 (Holley now has 15 children), worked as a short-order cook at Disney World and did time at a notoriously brutal juvenile facility, the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children in Mount Meigs. Then he celebrated his 29th birthday. And shortly after that, for the first time in his life, Holley began making art: sandstone carvings, initially — Birmingham remained something of a steel town back then, and its foundries regularly discarded the stone linings used for industrial molds. Later, he began work on a wild, metastasizing yard-art environment sprawling over two acres of family property, with sculptures constructed nearly entirely from salvaged junkyard detritus like orphaned shoes, plastic flowers, tattered quilts, tires, animal bones, VCR remotes, wooden ladders, an old tailor’s dummy, a busted Minolta EP 510 copy machine, a pink scooter, oil drums rusted to a leafy autumnal delicateness, metal pipes, broken headstone fragments, a half-melted television set destroyed in a house fire that also took the life of one of Holley’s nieces, a syringe, a white cross. His work was soon acquired by curators at the Birmingham Museum of Art and the Smithsonian.
