Maud Diver (born Katherine Helen Maud Marshall; 9 September 1867 - 14 October 1945) was an English author in British India who wrote novels, short stories, biographies and journalistic pieces primarily on Indian topics and Englishmen in India. Maud Diver published her first novel, Captain Desmond, VC, in 1907. This and several subsequent books were successful and charted on the bestseller lists of the time. She specialised in the imperial romance genre which was popular at the time. However, unlike her contemporary, Kipling, Diver has been forgotten by later generations. There has been recent interest in her books as a source of information for studies on Anglo-Indian culture.

"The Karen are a group of Indo-Chinese tribes living principally in Burma, the easternmost province of the British Indian Empire, in the Indo-Chinese peninsula, and in the adjoining country of Siam to the east. They are found between the tenth and twenty-first degrees of north latitude and between the ninety-fourth and one hundredth degrees of east longitude. The greater part of this territory they occupy in connection with the other peoples of the country, namely, the Burmese, Shan, Siamese, and Chin. The only exclusively Karen country is the hilly region of the Toungoo district and the Karenni subdivision, where the Karen chiefs of five states, comprising 4,830 square miles and a population of 42,240 are still in power under the Advisory Council of the British Government."

John Richard Green (12 December 1837 - 7 March 1883) was an English historian. he was educated, first at Magdalen College School, and then at Jesus College, Oxford, where he is commemorated by the J. R. Green Society, which meets several times a term and is run by students from the undergraduate body. He grew up in a high-church Tory family from which he rebelled as early as 1850, being "temporarily banished from his uncle's house for ridiculing the uproar over 'Papal Aggression.'"He entered the church, being ordained to the diaconate in 1860, and served various cures in London, under a constant strain caused by delicate health. Always an enthusiastic student of history, the little leisure time he had was devoted to research.

Domestic Manners of the Americans is a 2-volume 1832 travel book by Frances Milton Trollope, which follows her travels through America and her residence in Cincinnati, at the time still a frontier town. The text now resides in the public domain. The book created a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic, as Frances Trollope had a caustic view of the Americans and found America strongly lacking in manners and learning. She was appalled by America's egalitarian middle-class and by the influence of evangelicalism that was emerging during the Second Great Awakening. Trollope was also harshly critical of slavery of African Americans in the United States, and by the popularity of tobacco chewing, and the consequent spitting, even on carpets.

Un Kozer tiene lana, un Perlongher. Y hay dunas. Si alguna hay. Entonces mi sexo, este niño de cabeza, me será chupado. Vean alejarse una playa, como una antorcha el niño despertado. Se vive en esa ilusión, en esa Tierra: mi joven túmulo. Mas, uno se enfría cuando algo, una cosa de la Naturaleza (a mi lado una puesta) parece fingir.En países viviera, en países que uno hace (pero tantos edificios). En países como este, me dicen, lo mejor es tomar, tomar el sol. Una fogata, creo. Este es el mundo, especialmente en Nassau, cuando todo termina. (Ezequiel O. Suárez)

Joseph Furphy (26 September 1843 - 13 September 1912) is widely regarded as the "Father of the Australian novel". He mostly wrote under the pseudonym Tom Collins and is best known for his novel Such Is Life (1903), regarded as an Australian classic. In his youth Furphy had written many verses and in December 1867 he had been awarded the first prize of £3 at the Kyneton Literary Society for a vigorous set of verses on 'The Death of President Lincoln'. While living at Shepparton, he was encouraged in his writing by Kate Baker, a schoolteacher who boarded with his mother.

The Tusculanae Disputationes (also Tusculanae Quaestiones; English: Tusculan Disputations) is a series of five books written by Cicero, around 45 BC, attempting to popularise Greek philosophy in Ancient Rome, including Stoicism. It is so called as it was reportedly written at his villa in Tusculum. His daughter had recently died and in mourning Cicero devoted himself to philosophical studies. The Tusculan Disputations consist of five books, each on a particular theme: On the contempt of death; On pain; On grief; On emotional disturbances; and whether Virtue alone is sufficient for a happy life.

Quem sou eu? Por que eu estou aqui? Que importância eu tenho?Todos temos nos feito essas perguntas alguma vez. À medida que passamos pela vida nós buscamos entender quem somos, por que fomos criados, e qual é o nosso propósito nesta vida. Para responder essas perguntas precisamos entender qual é a nossa identidade.Sem conhecer nossa identidade nós não podemos viver da maneira com que fomos criados para viver. É fácil definir nossa identidade pela nossa família, carreira, amigos, passatempos ou nacionalidade. Nós geralmente determinamos nossas identidades por nossas ações, palavras ou reputações. "Portanto, se alguém está em Cristo, é nova criação. As coisas antigas já passaram; eis que surgiram coisas novas!" -2 Coríntios 5:17Em Cristo, apenas uma identidade importa. Embora possamos nos definir de muitas maneiras, nossa identidade em Cristo permanece a mesma. Ele nos resgatou do pecado, nos livrou das trevas e nos redimiu da vergonha. Ele nos chamou de filhos de Deus, nos adotando e nos dando cidadania no Seu Reino. Em Cristo nós somos salvos, selados, perdoados, escolhidos, abençoados e empoderados. Quem Você É em Jesus: Entendendo Sua Identidade em Cristo é um estudo bíblico de quatro semanas sobre a nossa identidade em Cristo. Ao focarmos na verdade de quem somos em Jesus, no que Ele nos tem dado por meio do Seu sacrifício e como somos selados como Filhos de Deus, podemos entender nossa verdadeira identidade. À medida que crescemos em fé nós também aumentamos nossa segurança e confiança de quem nós somos Nele. Junte-se a nós neste estudo de quatro semanas. Você encontrará conteúdo correspondente no nosso blog, assim como um olhar mais profundo sobre este tema nos nossos devocionais diários, e uma comunidade amorosa que irá animá-la enquanto estudamos juntas sobre o que significa ter nossa identidade enraizada em Jesus.
