Gilead Marilynne Robinson Setting: America, Iowa in 1956 and earlier Main character: John Ames The Plot: Gilead is a story about fathers and sons.

A letter which his son would get to read as a grown-up. It is just like John would write down his biography. John puts down words of advice and wisdom for his son and tells him about the life of a minister and a preacher
Clothing of 18th century in England 1750 The middle of the century marked what is perhaps the highest point of rococo style. The stiffness of the earlier years had been abandoned, and the extravagances of the seventies and the neo-classical negligence of the nineties were alike unthought of. The most typical characteristics of the century were at their most charming stage. The wig was neat and becoming. The three-cornered hat was of medium size - it had been ridiculously large in Marlborough's time, and became ridiculously small in 1790; coats and waistcoats were both dignified and graceful, the cut was good and the embroidery elegant. There was a tasteful moderation in the use of lace.

and landscape of a particular region. American Literary Regionalism has been the subject of scholarship for the past several decades and has been a central site for scholarly debate on a variety of methodologies including Feminism and New Historicism. This subfield of American literary studies has been traditionally located in the latenineteenth century. Local Colorism or Regionalism as first appeared in the late 1860s and early seventies in America. Hamlin Garland defined local colorism as having "such quality of texture and background that it could not have been written in any other place or by anyone else than a native." The ultimate aim of the local colorists is, as Garland indicates, to create the illusion of an indigenous little world with qualities that tell it apart from the world outside. Local colorists concerned themselves with presenting and interpreting the local character of their regions

In 67(I think?) the overall plan for ARPAnet was published, the first packet-switched computer network and the ancestor of today’s Internet. By 72 ARPAnet had grown from four to fifteen nodes and the first host-to-host protocol was completed. Since the latter was created, it was possible to begin developing applications. 1972-80 The initial ARPAnet was a solitary, closed network. To communicate with a host one had to be physically connected to another ARPAnet IMP. In the mid-seventies, other packet switching networks were created - ALOHAnet, DARPA, Telenet etc. The number of networks was growing, but they still weren’t connected. Internetting is the fancy-pansy term used to describe forming a network of networks. These principles were embodied in TCP (differs greatly from the one used nowadays). The early versions of TCP combined a reliable, sequenced data delivery (still part of TCP now) and forwarding functions (now performed by IP)
That is what they are here to teach. The surrendered state of consciousness opens up the vertical dimension in your life, the dimension of depth. Something will then come forth from that dimension into this world, something of infinite value that otherwise would have remained unmanifested. Some people who surrendered to severe limitation become healers or spiritual teachers. Others work selflessly to lessen human suffering or bring some creative gift into this world. In the late seventies, I would have lunch every day with one or two friends in the cafeteria of the graduate center at Cambridge University, where I was studying. A man in a wheelchair would sometimes sit at a nearby table, usually accompanied by three or four people. One day, when I was sitting at a table directly opposite me, I could not help but look at him more closely, and I was shocked by what I saw. He seemed almost totally paralyzed. His body was emaciated, his head permanently slumped forward.
centimeter from the center of the lane. He drove one-handed, holding my hand on the seat. Sometimes he gazed into the setting sun, sometimes he glanced at me -- my face, my hair blowing out the open window, our hands twined together. He had turned the radio to an oldies station, and he sang along with a song I'd never heard. He knew every line. "You like fifties music?" I asked. "Music in the fifties was good. Much better than the sixties, or the seventies, ugh!" He shuddered. "The eighties were bearable." "Are you ever going to tell me how old you are?" I asked, tentative, not wanting to upset his buoyant humor. "Does it matter much?" His smile, to my relief, remained unclouded. "No, but I still wonder..." I grimaced. "There's nothing like an unsolved mystery to keep you up at night." "I wonder if it will upset you," he reflected to himself. He gazed into the sun; the minutes passed. "Try me," I finally said.
