This is a short story about three of this writer's heroes, Steve Biko, Ken Saro-Wiwa and Chris Anyanwu. The three were natives of Africa, Biko from South Africa, Saro-Wiwa and Chris Anyanwu from Nigeria. Sadly, the men, Biko and Saro-Wiwa were tortured and murdered by the authorities in their countries, because they tried to bring about change, campaigned for human rights for their people, using what this writer regards as legitimate democratic means. The story is about their lives and legacies. The key to understanding what both Ken Saro-Wiwa and Steve Biko were aiming for is best explained in Steve Biko¿s Black Consciousness initiative, the detailed explanation of which is provided towards the end of this short story. The film ¿Cry Freedom¿ dramatically portrayed the story of Steve Biko. Ken Saro-Wiwäs mission is explained in his poems and other writings, some of which are discussed in this short story.The cover image: Steve Biko depicted in a stained-glass window in the Saint Anna Church in Heerlen, the Netherlands.

This short story, ¿Alexandra David Neels¿ is the fourth in this writer¿s series of short stories about great women in history. The previous short stories now in published form, were; the story of Sophie (Mary) Pierce (Lady Heath) ¿ in the publication ¿The Silver Lining¿, ¿Tina Turner¿, ¿Sinead O¿Connor¿ (Sinead).This story is primarily about Alexandra, as she was the inspirational influence as a result of which I set out to write her story. However, when travelling in her footsteps the writer discovered many other ¿treasures¿ in the form of indigenous beliefs, major religions and their motivations designed by wise men and women in order to make matters of life and death more meaningful and lifestyles more perfect. This writer has included aspects of these so that the reader can be better informed with regard to the beliefs and the aspirations not only of Alexandra but also of those that she encountered and studied. The research involved, led to the outlining, and summarising of, some very complex belief systems. Alexandräs personal journey and mission focused mainly on the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan region.

The present writer felt that he was well-placed and qualified to write about Monto and the phenomenon of brothels and prostitution in Dublin. Firstly, he is a qualified Sociologist and Town Planner and in his studies and work and as a professional City Planner and Sociologist gained very considerable expertise to enable him to gain a deep understanding of what had happened in Dublin¿s areas of poverty and accompanying sexual depravity. This writer had the good fortune to work as a town planner in Dublin Corporation (Dublin City Council), north and south of the River Liffey. Firstly in the Planning Department located at the edge of Monto in Talbot Street and, following that, working in the Civic Offices Wood Quay. In his work and in his leisure time, he became familiar with every road lane way nook and cranny in Monto and the corresponding area south of the River Liffey, which had the ¿nickname¿ 'Hell'.The title of this short story is ¿Monto and all the Mollies¿. The reason for this is the fact that there were many other areas of brothels besides Monto, where prostitution ¿flourished¿ at different times, both north and south of the Liffey.

When this writer decided to write a short story about Sinead O¿Connor, he literally did not know where to start, but, in spite of that, he decided ¿to begin the begin¿. Sinead was a very complex character/ personality, fearless, and at times reckless, caring, larger than life, talented beyond belief. She herself listed the psychological problems she experienced, like the fact that she was diagnosed as bipolar. Although this she later on denied being the case. In the course of this story, the writer hopes to clarify some aspects of Sinead¿s life so that the readers can have a more accurate picture. Many aspects of her life have been documented, like the fact that she was abused as a child, by, of all people, her mother.Sinead tore up a picture of the Pope to draw attention to the facts of the widespread clerical abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. She sang what is perhaps the world¿s greatest love song ¿Nothing Compares to Yoü a cover version of ¿Prince¿s¿ original. Sinead had several ¿marriages¿, which are well documented. She changed her religion a number of times.

""Rainfall and Evaporation in St. Helena"" is a scientific book written by John Haughton in 1862. The book explores the climate and weather patterns of the small island of St. Helena, located in the South Atlantic Ocean. Haughton, a renowned Irish geologist and mathematician, conducted extensive research on the island's rainfall and evaporation rates, using data collected over several years. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the island's climate, including the influence of ocean currents, the effects of altitude on rainfall, and the impact of winds on evaporation. The book is written in a highly technical and scientific style, and includes numerous charts, graphs, and tables to support Haughton's findings. Overall, ""Rainfall and Evaporation in St. Helena"" is an important contribution to the field of meteorology and climatology, and remains a valuable resource for scientists and researchers studying weather patterns in the South Atlantic region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Walter Macken has produced a vast array of works covering the widest possible range of issues, causes, historical records interpersonal dialogues, dealing with the taboo subjects whether ethical, political, religious or philosophical. It is not possible in a short story to do justice to the diversity of the works and subjects covered by this great and wonderful Irish writer. The writer of this short story has on his desk fourteen volumes of Walter Macken¿s work as well as his son Ultan Macken¿s biography, ¿Walter Macken Dreams on Paper¿ and ¿Walter Macken Critical Perspectives¿, the work of a series of critics edited by Sandra Heinen and Katharina Rennhak. This writer proposes therefore to take a representative but short extract from some of the fourteen volumes referred to above so that the reader can get a representative flavour of the subject. Walter Macken was a writer of short stories, novels and plays written and inspired by his home-land, the West of Ireland, the Galway and Connemara area in particular. Originally an actor, principally with the Taibhdhearc in Galway, which had been set up to promote the native Irish language in writings and dramatic productions.

Tina turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on the morning of the 26 November 1939 at Brownsville¿s Memorial Hospital and lived at Nut Bush on Highway 19. Her father was Floyd Richard Bullock resident overseer on the Poindexter farm. Richard was a deacon of the Woodlawn Baptist Church. Tina as a child witnessed constant conflict between Richard and his wife Zelma Bullock. In her autobiography ¿I Tinä, Tina wrote that Richard and Zelmäs fights,¿ real wall rattlers¿ were the dominant feature of the domestic landscape. At the time of Tinäs birth her sister Alline with whom she formed a lifelong bond of friendship and mutual support, was three years old. Tina says that Alline greeted her sister as an ally ¿in the parental war zone¿. Tinäs mother was a black Indian and down the hill from Tinäs house and across Forked Deer Road lived the Indian branch of the clan: Zelmäs parents were Josephus (Pappa Joe) and Georgianna Corrie.

The proximate cause of the Irish Great Famine was the fungal disease Phytophthora infestans, known at the time as ¿blight¿. Transported from the US where it had been present in previous seasons, the blight 1st appeared in Belgium in June 1845 and spread from there across Northern & Central Europe. It was 1st observed in Ireland on August 20 of that year by Dr.Moore of the Botanic Gardens in Dublin¿s Glasnevin.

I'd thought of titles like 'Return to Innocence', based on the fact that in my experience my innocence was taken away from me in my youth. My mother had guided me as far as she could, like the good shepherd guides her sheep. That she could not guide me later in life, through the crises that deflected me from the path that she'd chosen for me, and in one sense believed it was for me, is no reflection on her skills or understanding.

Woody Guthrie family and friends, a short story by John Haughton.This is the story of Woody Guthrie, who for me is one of the most important people that ever lived on this earth. His story is truly awesome and unique in many respects, and in a sense I worship at his feet. Life threw the most horrific tragedies in his path and he succeeded in managing them until he was a victim of the dreaded Huntington's disease, which was responsible for his mother¿s death also. Members of his family were victims of fire tragedies, car accidents and of course Huntington's disease, which took some of Woody¿s siblings and some of his children but thankfully not all and his son Arlo with other members of the family has kept the singing and the tradition of folk musical performance in the spotlight. The question might be asked, and rightly so, why another Woody Guthrie tribute when every aspect of his life down to the last ¿t¿ has been fully documented many times. But this is my resounding tribute to him, who I, in a sense, worship, for what he represented, what he achieved, and his resilience in the face of multiple tragedies that fate inflicted on him and his family.

This story is primarily about how a young person, Aayla, deals with aspects of resolving her sexual identity. This young person, Aayla, is one of three identical triplets, born to Carl and Maya Bradley, a married couple living in the Richmond area of south west London. The short story is totally one of fiction and is not based on any persons in reality. The story, Aayläs Secret, deals with how she resolves aspects of her sexual identity. It deals with the issues in a way, which enables Aayla to come to terms with them firstly with her councilor, then later with her parents and finally communicates them with her siblings. By means of discussions the matters raised are dealt with sympathetically by all and the supports in terms of family and professionals are readily available, so that the matters are resolved in a satisfactory way. It is not intended to be a blueprint of how to handle the kind of issues raised and the situation, for one family can be very different from another. Furthermore, the resources available to the individual and the family and the levels of community and professional support systems can vary greatly.

Ireland was once the ¿Island of Saints and Scholars¿ and educated the children of the European elite in their monasteries and other places of learning. Their missionaries went all over Europe and their work can be evidenced in many of the cities of Europe. The names of the saints are legion and there has been a tradition of educating young men and women for centuries ever since. Ireland¿s educators went all over the world and the Redemptorist order brought the messages of Christianity far and wide. I had the opportunity to be a missionary in that traditional sense and this is about how it went. No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it. The saying is adapted from a line in ¿To a Mouse,¿ by Robert Burns: ¿The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.This is a short story about my journey towards the priesthood in the Redemptorist religious order. It is the story of part of and aspects of that journey, my journey the ups and downs the doubts, the love of the solitude I found there at certain stages in the journey and the reasons why I felt I had to withdraw and discontinue the journey...
