Author: Brant & Fuller (1893)
DR. THOMAS L. QUILLIAN, physician and surgeon, of Honoraville, was born in
Habersham county, Ga., in 1830. He is a son of Henry K. and Aley (Hancock)
Quillian, the former a native of Franklin county, Ga., born in 1808, and the
latter born in North Carolina in 1805. When a girl Mrs. Quillian came with her
parents to Habersham county, Ga., where she was raised and married. Both she and
her husband received a common school education, and when Dr. T. L. Quillian was
twelve years old they removed to Macon county, Ala., and still later to Auburn,
where Mr. Quillian died in December, 1873. The subject's mother had died in
1853. Both of these people were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was a tanner and shoe manufacturer many years at Auburn and at Society Hill. He
was postmaster at Auburn some years, was for a short time a justice of the
peace, and was the first sheriff of Gilmer county, Ga. He was a Mason a good
many years, and was a liberal supporter of all public enterprises. He was a whig
until the war came on, but was never a politician. He was one of a family of six
sons and two daughters, he being the oldest. Their father, Clemonds Quillian,
was probably a Virginian, but spent the greater part of his life in Whitfield
county, Ga. He was a farmer, and was at one time tax collector of Murray and
also of Whitfield county, Ga. For a good many years he represented Gilmer
county, Ga., in the legislature. He was of Scotch parentage, and was probably of
the first generation born in this country. The maternal grandfather of our
subject, William Hancock, removed from North Carolina to Georgia when Mrs.
Quillian was an infant, and died in Habersham county, as also did his wife. Dr.
Quillian was the youngest of a family of two sons and one daughter, viz.:
Parmelia A., deceased wife of W. K. Jones, and William Clemonds, who was a
harnessmaker by trade, and was in the late war with Bragg and died in northern
Alabama in 1874. Thomas L. was raised partly on the farm and partly in the shop
with his father. He was principally educated at Auburn and at Dahlonega, Ga.,
receiving a good academic education, and then read medicine with Dr. James E.
Ellison, of Macon county, Ala., and in 1854 graduated from the Augusta Medical
college and practiced in Hamilton county, Tenn., one year. He then went to
Dalton, Ga., and in 1856 came to what is now Crenshaw county, Ala., five miles
northwest of where Rutledge is situated, and has since then practiced in this
vicinity. He has lived for twenty-five years on the present farm, ten miles
northwest of Rutledge. He is one of the oldest physicians of the county, and one
of its most prominent planters. He owns 353 acres of fine land. He was married
in 1860 to Sarah A. Bozeman, who was born in Lowndes county, Ala., and who was a
daughter of Eldred and Jane Bozeman, who came from Georgia to Alabama at an
early day. Mr. Bozeman died in what is now Crenshaw county very suddenly while
attending church. He was a resident of Butler county at the time. Dr. Quillian
had three children by his first wife. They were Mary Beulah, wife of E. J.
Pollard; Henry Etheldred, of Montgomery; Frances Clements, wife of W. H. Dry, of
Butler county. In 1881 the doctor married Sarah W., daughter of James and Mary
Daniel, a cousin of his first wife, who was born in Lowndes county. In January,
1862, the doctor joined company I, First Alabama cavalry (Clanton's), and
operated in north Alabama and Mississippi, fighting at Shiloh and in minor
engagements in that part of the country, but on June 7, 1862, at Saltillo,
Miss., he was discharged on account of ill health. Since that time he has been
continuously engaged in the practice of medicine. He is a prominent member of
the Crenshaw county Medical society. He is a member of Camp Creek lodge, No.
251, F. & A. M., having been a member since 1864, and secretary many years. He
was worshipful master several times. He has been a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, for a good many years, while his wife is a member of
the Primitive Baptist church. Both stand high in social esteem, and strive to
advance the community in all religious and educational matters to the extent of
their ability.

Section 1: Definition and Purpose of Biographies

**Definition:** A biography is a written account of a person's life, usually by someone who is not the subject.

**Purpose:** The purpose of a biography is to tell the story of a person's life, highlighting their achievements, challenges, and character traits. Biographies can inspire readers, provide role models, and help us understand the lives of people from different times and cultures.

Section 2: Structure of Biographies

**Introduction:** The introduction provides basic information about the subject, such as their name, birthdate, and place of birth.

**Body:** The body of the biography covers the subject's life, including their childhood, education, career, relationships, and accomplishments.

**Conclusion:** The conclusion summarizes the subject's life and highlights their legacy or impact on society.

Section 3: Reading and Interpreting Biographies

**Reading:** When reading a biography, pay attention to the following elements:

- Chronological order of events
- Important dates and places
- Significant relationships and accomplishments
- Challenges and setbacks

**Interpreting:** After reading a biography, you should be able to answer the following questions:

- Who was the subject of the biography?
- What were their most significant accomplishments?
- What challenges did they face, and how did they overcome them?
- What character traits did they exhibit?

Section 4: Examples and Practice

**Example:** Let's read a brief biography of Albert Einstein, one of the most famous physicists in history.

```
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany. He developed the theory of relativity, which revolutionized the field of physics. Einstein also made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and cosmology. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.

```
Thomas Edison was an American inventor and businessman who played a crucial role in the development of many forms of energy, including electricity. Born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, Edison received little formal education but was a voracious reader and developed a strong interest in science and technology. He is best known for his invention of the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical incandescent light bulb. He also played a key role in shaping modern America, having created the first industrial research laboratory and holding over 1,000 patents for his inventions. Edison passed away on October 18, 1931, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and entrepreneurship that continues to shape our world today.
```

- Who was the subject of the biography?
- What were their most significant accomplishments?
- What challenges did they face, and how did they overcome them?

Lesson Title: Maori Health

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about Maori health, which is an important aspect of the Maori culture. We will explore the traditional Maori concept of health, known as "Te Whare Tapa Wha," and how it has evolved over time. We will also discuss the impact of colonization on Maori health and the steps being taken to improve it.

Section 1: Traditional Maori Concept of Health

Topic 1: Te Whare Tapa Wha
- Te Whare Tapa Wha is a traditional Maori concept of health that emphasizes the importance of balance between four aspects of life: tinana (physical), hinengaro (mental), wairua (spiritual), and whaunau (family and community).
- This concept recognizes that good health is not just about the absence of disease but also about the presence of balance and harmony in all areas of life.
- The four sides of the whare (house) represent these four aspects of health, and each one is equally important for overall well-being.

Topic 2: Wairua
- Wairua refers to the spiritual aspect of health, which is closely linked to the concept of mana (power or authority).
- In traditional Maori culture, wairua was believed to be the source of life force and energy that flowed through everything.
- Today, many Maori people still believe in the importance of spiritual health and may seek out traditional healers or spiritual leaders for guidance and support.

Topic 3: Hinengaro
- Hinengaro refers to the mental and emotional aspect of health, which is closely linked to the concept of mana.
- In traditional Maori culture, hinengaro was believed to be the seat of wisdom and knowledge, and was highly valued.
- Today, many Maori people recognize the importance of mental health and may seek out traditional healers or spiritual leaders for support and guidance.

Topic 4: Tinana
- Tinana refers to the physical aspect of health, which is closely linked to the concept of mana.
- In traditional Maori culture, tinana was believed to be the source of strength and power, and was highly valued.
- Today, many Maori people recognize the importance of physical health and may engage in traditional activities such as hikoi (walking) or waka ama (outrigger canoeing) to stay active and healthy.

Section 2: Colonization and its Impact on Maori Health

Topic 1: The Tohunga Suppression Act (1907)
- The Tohunga Suppression Act was a law passed by the New Zealand government in 1907 that targeted traditional Maori healers, known as tohunga, and made it illegal for them to practice their craft.
- This act had a devastating impact on Maori health, as it disrupted the cultural practices and traditions that had been used to maintain good health for generations.
- Today, many Maori people are working to reclaim their cultural traditions and promote the importance of holistic health and well-being.

Topic 2: Loss of Land and Resources
- Colonization led to the loss of much of the Maori people's land and resources, which had been used to sustain their culture and traditions.
- This loss had a significant impact on Maori health, as it disrupted the connection between people and their land, which is seen as an integral part of well-being.
- Today, many Maori people are working to regain control over their land and resources, and to restore the connection between people and the environment.

Topic 3: Impact on Identity
- Colonization also had a profound impact on Maori identity, as it challenged the traditional ways of thinking about oneself and one's place in the world.
- This challenge to identity had a significant impact on Maori health, as it disrupted the sense of belonging and connectedness that is essential for well-being.
- Today, many Maori people are working to reclaim their cultural traditions and promote the importance of identity and self-worth.

Section 3: Improving Maori Health

Topic 1: Recognizing the Importance of Culture
- Many Maori people recognize the importance of cultural traditions and practices in promoting good health and well-being.
- Today, there are many initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting Maori culture, including the establishment of Maori health providers and the development of culturally appropriate health services.
- By recognizing the importance of culture in promoting good health, Maori people are taking steps to improve their own health and well-being.

Topic 2: Addressing Health Inequities
- Despite progress in some areas, there are still significant health inequities between Maori and non-Maori people in New Zealand.
- These inequities can be attributed to a range of factors, including poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and systemic racism.
- Many Maori people are working to address these inequities by advocating for better health services, promoting cultural awareness, and supporting community-led initiatives.

Topic 3: Promoting Self-Care and Resilience
- Many Maori people recognize the importance of self-care and resilience in promoting good health and well-being.
- Today, there are many initiatives aimed at promoting self-care and resilience, including the development of culturally appropriate health education programs and the provision of support services for those affected by trauma.
- By promoting self-care and resilience, Maori people are taking steps to improve their own health and well-being.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, Maori health is an important aspect of the Maori culture that emphasizes the importance of balance and harmony in all areas of life. Colonization had a significant impact on Maori health, but today many Maori people are working to reclaim their cultural traditions and promote the importance of holistic health and well-being. By recognizing the importance of culture, addressing health inequities, and promoting self-care and resilience, Maori people are taking steps to improve their own health and well-being.

4. What action do I want the recipient to take?

Answering these questions will help you stay focused and ensure that you include all the necessary information.

Step 2: Use a Clear and Concise Subject Line
The subject line is the first thing the recipient sees, so it should be clear and concise. Avoid using vague or misleading subject lines. Instead, use specific language that tells the recipient what the email is about.

Example: "Request for Meeting Time Change" instead of "Urgent Meeting Request"

Step 3: Write a Professional Greeting
Start your email with a professional greeting, such as "Dear [Recipient's Name]" or "Hello." This shows respect for the recipient and sets a formal tone for the email.

Step 4: Use Polite Language

Step 5: Be Concise and Clear
Keep your email concise and clear. Avoid using long sentences or jargon that can confuse the recipient. Instead, use simple language and break your message into short paragraphs.

Step 6: Use Formatting to Your Advantage
Use formatting to make your email easy to read. For example, use bullet points to list items, bold or italicize important words, and add numbered lists where appropriate.

Step 7: Proofread Before Sending
Before sending your email, proofread it carefully to ensure that there are no spelling or grammar errors. Also, check that all links or attachments work correctly.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, writing an effective email requires planning, clear communication, and professionalism. By following these steps, you can ensure that your emails are clear, concise, and effective.

Long-lasting gene expression by particle-mediated intramuscular transfection modified with bupivacaine: combinatorial gene therapy with IL-12 and IL-18 cDNA against rat sarcoma at a distant site.
The immune response is modulated by genetic adjuvants using plasmid vectors expressing cytokines. Skeletal muscle can express a foreign gene intramuscularly administered via a needle injection, and the potential of muscle as a target tissue for somatic gene therapy in treating cancer has been explored. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of particle-mediated intramuscular transfection modified with a local anesthetic agent, bupivacaine, on luciferase and green fluorescent protein. The results indicate that these proteins are more efficiently expressed and persist longer in muscle modified in this way compared with the needle-injection method. Using an established rat sarcoma model, particle-mediated intramuscular gene-gun therapy with a combination of IL-12 and IL-18 cDNA was conducted. Growth of the distant sarcoma was significantly inhibited by particle-mediated intramuscular combination gene therapy, and the survival rate was also improved. Furthermore, the combination gene-gun therapy maintained significant levels of interferon-gamma and induced a high activity of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. These results suggest that the sustained local delivery of IL-12 and IL-18 cDNA using intramuscular gene-gun therapy modified with bupivacaine can induce long-term antitumor immunity, and can provide the great advantage of inhibiting the disseminated tumor.

Lesson: Introduction to Gene Therapy

Gene therapy is a medical technique that modifies the genes inside our body to treat or prevent diseases. It involves introducing new genetic material into cells to replace abnormal genes or to add new functions. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of gene therapy, its applications, and how it works.

**Section 1: What is Gene Therapy?**

Gene therapy is a type of treatment that uses genes to treat or prevent diseases. It is a relatively new field, but it has shown great promise in treating many diseases, including cancer, genetic disorders, and viral infections.

**Section 2: How does Gene Therapy work?**

Gene therapy works by introducing new genetic material into cells to replace abnormal genes or to add new functions. This can be done using viruses, which can carry the new genetic material into cells, or by using other methods such as electroporation, which uses electric fields to introduce the genetic material into cells.

**Section 3: Applications of Gene Therapy**

Gene therapy has many potential applications, including:

1. Treating genetic disorders: Gene therapy can be used to replace missing or defective genes that cause genetic disorders. For example, it can be used to treat cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system.

2. Treating cancer: Gene therapy can be used to kill cancer cells or to stop them from growing. This can be done by introducing genes that make the cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy or radiation, or by introducing genes that stop the growth of new blood vessels that supply tumors with nutrients.

3. Preventing viral infections: Gene therapy can be used to protect against viral infections by introducing genes that make cells resistant to viruses.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of gene therapy, its applications, and how it works. We saw that gene therapy has great potential in treating many diseases, including cancer, genetic disorders, and viral infections. By understanding the basics of gene therapy, we can better understand how this powerful tool works and how it can be used to improve our health.

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. It involves transforming a flat sheet of paper into a sculpture by folding it in a specific manner. This art form has been popular for centuries and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. In this lesson, we will learn how to make a simple origami crane.

### Materials
- A square piece of paper
- A pencil
- A ruler

### Step 1: Choose the Right Paper
The first step in making origami is choosing the right paper. The ideal paper for origami should be lightweight, easy to fold, and able to hold its shape. You can use any color or pattern you like, but it's best to avoid using glossy or thick papers that may be difficult to fold.

### Step 2: Fold the Paper
Once you have chosen your paper, fold it diagonally in half to create a triangle. Unfold the paper and fold it in half again, this time horizontally. Open the paper and fold it one more time vertically. Now, unfold the paper and you should have a square shape.

### Step 3: Create the Base
Take one corner of the square and fold it towards the center line, creating a diagonal crease. Repeat this step for all four corners, so that you now have a diamond shape.

### Step 4: Make the Wings
Fold the top two corners down towards the bottom of the diamond, creating two triangles. Then, fold the bottom two corners up towards the top of the diamond, also creating two triangles. These folds should be done on both sides of the diamond.

### Step 5: Finish the Crane
Finally, fold the top point downwards, and then open up the wings by pulling the top down. Your origami crane is now complete! You can decorate it with markers, stickers, or other craft materials if you'd like.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to make a simple origami crane. Origami can be a fun and relaxing hobby, and there are many different designs and levels of difficulty to explore. By following these steps, you can create your own origami sculptures and express your creativity through paper folding.

Sunflower oil cake-derived cellulose nanocrystals: Extraction, physico-chemical characteristics and potential application.
In this work, sunflower oil cake (SOC) was identified as bio-sourced material for cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) production using chemical treatments followed by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The hydrolysis was performed at 64% acid concentration, a temperature of 50 °C and at two different hydrolysis times, 15 min (CNC15) and 30 min (CNC30). It was found that CNC exhibited a diameter of 9 ± 3 nm and 5 ± 2 nm, a length of 354 ± 101 nm and 329 ± 98 nm, a crystallinity of 75% and 87%, a surface charge density of ~1.57 and ~1.88 sulfate groups per 100 anhydroglucose units and a zeta potential value of -25.6 and -30.7 mV, for CNC15 and CNC30, respectively. The thermal degradation under nitrogen atmosphere started at 225 °C (CNC15), which is relatively higher than the temperature for sulfuric acid hydrolyzed CNC from other sources. Due to a high importance of CNC application in aqueous systems, the rheological behaviour of CNC suspensions at various concentrations was evaluated by the steady shear viscosity measurements and the oscillatory dynamic tests. The results showed that the CNC suspensions exhibited a gel-like behaviour at very low CNC concentrations (0.1-1%) wherein a strong CNC entangled network is formed. Polymer nanoreinforcing capability of the newly produced CNC was also investigated in this study. CNC filled PVA nanocomposite films were produced at various CNC contents (1, 3, 5 and 8 wt%) and their mechanical and transparency properties were investigated, resulting in transparent nanocomposite materials with strong mechanical properties. The study suggested other possibilities to utilize agricultural wastes from SOC for CNC production with potential application as reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites.

1. Preparation of sunflower oil cake: Collect sunflower oil cake, which is a byproduct of sunflower oil production. Dry the sunflower oil cake in an oven at 105°C for 24 hours to remove moisture.
2. Chemical treatment: Mix the sunflower oil cake with sulfuric acid (64% concentration) at a weight ratio of 1:10 (w/v) for 30 minutes. This step will help to break down the lignin and hemicellulose in the sunflower oil cake, making it easier to extract cellulose nanocrystals.
3. Hydrolysis: After the chemical treatment, hydrolyze the mixture using sulfuric acid (64% concentration) at a temperature of 50°C and a hydrolysis time of either 15 minutes (CNC15) or 30 minutes (CNC30). This step will convert the cellulose in the sunflower oil cake into cellulose nanocrystals.
4. Isolation and purification: After hydrolysis, isolate the cellulose nanocrystals by filtration and washing with distilled water. Purify the cellulose nanocrystals by precipitation with ethanol and centrifugation.
5. Characterization: Analyze the physico-chemical properties of the cellulose nanocrystals using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta potential analysis.
Results:
- The cellulose nanocrystals produced from sunflower oil cake had a diameter of 9 ± 3 nm and 5 ± 2 nm, a length of 354 ± 101 nm and 329 ± 98 nm, a crystallinity of 75% and 87%, a surface charge density of ~1.57 and ~1.88 sulfate groups per 100 anhydroglucose units, and a zeta potential value of -25.6 and -30.7 mV, for CNC15 and CNC30, respectively.
- The thermal degradation under nitrogen atmosphere started at 225°C (CNC15), which is relatively higher than the temperature for sulfuric acid hydrolyzed CNC from other sources.
Discussion:
The extraction method used in this study is a promising approach for producing cellulose nanocrystals from bio-sourced materials. The physico-chemical characteristics of the cellulose nanocrystals produced from sunflower oil cake were found to be similar to those produced from other sources. However, the thermal degradation temperature of CNC15 was higher than that of other CNC, indicating that sunflower oil cake may be a suitable source for producing cellulose nanocrystals with improved stability.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study demonstrates the feasibility of extracting cellulose nanocrystals from bio-sourced materials, such as sunflower oil cake, and their potential applications in various fields such as nanocomposites, coatings, and drug delivery systems. By understanding the extraction process and physico-chemical characteristics of cellulose nanocrystals, we can apply this knowledge to other bio-sourced materials to produce high-quality cellulose nanocrystals for various applications.

Greening coal: breakthroughs and challenges in carbon capture and storage.
Like it or not, coal is here to stay, for the next few decades at least. Continued use of coal in this age of growing greenhouse gas controls will require removing carbon dioxide from the coal waste stream. We already remove toxicants such as sulfur dioxide and mercury, and the removal of CO₂ is the next step in reducing the environmental impacts of using coal as an energy source (i.e., greening coal). This paper outlines some of the complexities encountered in capturing CO₂ from coal, transporting it large distances through pipelines, and storing it safely underground.
