Helena Jane “Nell” Shepherd, born January 19, 1821, was the only child born to Norman (1798-1836) and Abigail (1800-1826) Shepherd in Bottesford, England. A distant cousin to the Baron Bastable, Nell was placed in his custody at the age of 5. Her parents had succumbed to consumption. Cecil Bastable (1790-1844) and his wife, Henrietta (1796-1844) graciously welcomed Nell into their home and raised her as their own. Unfortunately, their son, Horace (born 1812) did not take to Nell with any kindness. In fact, upon the moment that the mourning of his parents ended in 1844, Horace proposed to Nell.
Fleeing Horace Bastable’s incessant and forceful proposals, Nell stumbled into the position of governess. She worked for a handful of rich families before agreeing to meet with Viscount Anthony Bridgerton to discuss a possible place of employment. Nell was officially hired by the Bridgerton family in April of 1846 as the governess to the five youngest children of Mr. Gregory and Lady Lucy Bridgerton’s nine children. Ant, Ben, Colin, Eloise, and Frannie Bridgerton were intense children, who had run off a series of previous governesses. However, they didn’t scare off Nell. In addition, Nell also befriended the eldest daughter, Katharine, who was 18 and nearing her first season.
June of 1846 saw Nell meeting the man who would capture her heart, Dr. Charles “Charlie” Bridgerton. They married in late 1846 and had five children together: Norman, Sophia, Meg, Franklin, and Linus. Their eldest son, Norman Benedict, was born in January of 1848. Their eldest daughter, Sophia Abigail, followed a few months later in June of 1849. Their youngest daughter, Margaret Helena “Meg,” was born in 1851 with their middle son, Franklin Charles, being born three years later in 1854. Their youngest son and child, Linus Edmund, was born in 1858, four years after Franklin and a little over ten years after Norman.
Nell is of average height, about 5’6”. She has an average, albeit slightly lean, build which is mostly due to her struggles with finding consistent employment. Her eyes are hazel, often becoming darker in low light and greener in bright light. In addition, Nell has curly black hair, inherited from her mother, which she keeps at an average length. She also has a small splotchy birthmark on her right shoulder, which is rarely visible to the public’s eye. She keeps a simple and functional yet elegant style, although it’s generally much simpler during her employment as a governess.
Nell is a reserved person. She’s very private, rarely sharing her thoughts with others. Despite this, Nell is very intuitive and thoughtful. She’s thoughtful and considerate and caring. In addition, Nell is compassionate and empathetic which comes to be very helpful in her chosen profession of governess. In addition, Nell is quite intelligent and well read. She’s charming, principled, idealistic, and sensitive. She thinks through quite a bit, sometimes even overthinking her every action. Nell is also a perfectionist and is very organized with hopes of everything going exactly to plan. She’s often found reading, working on embroidery, or playing the piano.

Emma Catherine Rutledge, born January 24, 1824, was the fifth born child to the duke and Duchess of Ashbourne, Lady Catherine (1792-1824) and Lord George (born 1787) Rutledge. She had four older siblings: Susannah (born 1814), Charles (born 1816), Laurence (born 1818), and Giles (born 1820). Her mother died of childbed fever, shortly after Emma was born and as such, Emma has no memories of her mother. Shortly afterwards, her grandmother, Lady Arabella Rutledge, the dowager duchess, moved in with the family to help supervise the children as Emma’s father refused to consider marrying again. He had loved his duchess, and couldn’t stomach marrying another. In 1836, Emma’s sister, Susannah, married Bernard Fitzhugh (born 1809). They had three children: Dudley (born 1837), Maria (born 1839), and George (born 1843).  Of her four siblings, Emma was closest to her eldest brother, Charles.
Emma had a pretty good childhood. Everything was fairly simple until she began preparing for her debut into the ton. Her grandmother had high expectations for Emma, which included the fact that Emma was not supposed to wear her spectacles. She felt like a fool without them, especially on the dance floor. In addition, her grandmother had strict ideas about who it was appropriate for Emma to interact with, given that she was the daughter of a duke. Luckily, Emma’s father held the power of final approval and he kept Emma’s opinions in mind.
In 1847, Emma was introduced to Alexander Bridgerton, an architect who had gone to school with her brother, Giles, by the dowager viscountess Bridgerton. Her grandmother fiercely disapproved, but Emma found herself falling for the young Mr. Bridgerton. He was handsome and kind and swoon worthy. After a lot of convincing and promising to her grandmother, Emma eventually married Alexander. They had two children, identical twins named Vincent Charles and Beckett Nicholas, in 1857.
Emma stands at 5’3” and has an average build. She has light auburn hair that’s kept to a fashionable length and often styled in the simplest fashionable style available. She has green eyes, which are often obscured by spectacles. Emma’s eyesight is quite poor, therefore she wears spectacles whenever possible. In addition, Emma’s style trends towards whatever’s most fashionable at the time but she has no qualms about picking simpler styles. She generally wears blues and greens, as she feels like those colors complement her appearance best.
Emma is a private and thoughtful person. She prefers to keep to herself, only suffering through balls and such to please her grandmother as Emma also has some people pleasing tendencies. She’s reluctant to open up to most people. Often, her only confidant was her eldest brother, Charles. In addition, Emma is creative and principled and kind. She’s also quite stubborn and sensitive. She can take criticism to heart. In addition, Emma feels like she’s under a lot of pressure to live up to her “perfect” sister, Susannah who married an earl and never needed spectacles. Emma is also very supportive and organized. She will often struggle with decisions, before ultimately giving into what her heart is telling her to go with.

Róisín Mary O’Connolly, born May 2, 1824, was the only child born to John (1797-1830) and Mary (1800-1830) O’Connolly on their small farm in County Donegal, Ireland. From an Irish Gaelic speaking family, Róisín did not learn English until the age of three, when her parents were forced to relocate from their farm to the small village. At the age of 6, Róisín was orphaned after her parents fell ill and moved to Galway, where her father’s elder brother, Michael (1794-1847), and his wife, Ellen (1798-1846) lived. This arrangement lasted until the 1840s. In 1845, the potato crop failed and poor Irish farmers fell into a deep famine. Róisín’s Aunt Ellen fell ill first and with little money, there was nothing that either Róisín or Michael could do. Then, Michael fell ill and passed away as well, leaving Róisín to weather the year known as “Black ‘47” alone.
In late 1847, Róisín received correspondence from a distant cousin. Margaret Bolton, the countess of Fotherby, had written to Róisín with an offer to sponsor her for a season amongst the ton. Reluctantly, Róisín accepted and shortly after, traveled to London. Raised Catholic and devoted to her identity as an Irish Catholic, she refused to attend the same Anglican masses that Margaret and her husband, Peter, earl of Fotherby did. Instead, she found a Catholic church to attend and did so religiously. In addition, she continued to use her first language of Irish Gaelic. 
It was early in the season of 1848 when Róisín met the quiet William Bridgerton. With chestnut hair and green eyes, William immediately captivated Róisín. But after their first meeting, she had never believed that she’d actually see him again. She did, though, and as they came into a deep acquaintance, love blossomed. A much more forceful personality than William, Róisín also found herself struggling to stay silent when she heard the pompous and spoiled lords discussing the famine in Ireland. In fact, she was rarely able to stay silent. Her people were suffering and they deserved help. Róisín herself had donated the majority of her pocket money to those working to alleviate the effects of the famine. Altogether, it was an interesting season that had a stranger conclusion. Róisín married William that fall of 1848. Together they had four children: Maeve, Kathleen, Ivy, and Oscar. A daughter named Maeve Sophie was born in 1850 followed by another daughter, Kathleen Mary, in 1852. Two years later in 1854, their third and final daughter, Ivy Róisín, was born. Finally, their only son, Oscar William, was born in 1857. 
Róisín stands at 5’5” and holds a lean build, that during the famine years in Ireland was an unhealthy lean. She has black hair that’s as short as fashionably allowed for women. Her eyes are a dark green, a sharp contrast to the light green of William and his sister, Violet. In addition, Róisín has freckles all over her face. The sun brings them out more, but she’s always had a smattering of freckles dotting her face. Róisín prefers a simple style with a fondness for blues and greens, similar to her sister-in-law, Lady Emma.
At first glance, Róisín appears to be very outspoken, and in some ways, she is. However, she also has a more reserved nature. It’s only the things that she’s passionate about that can get her to be outspoken. She can also be argumentative, especially when it comes to her beliefs. She holds steadfast to her beliefs, and can be reluctant to change those. In addition, she is very stubborn and intelligent. Róisín has good practical skills and she’s quite hardworking. She also can be compassionate, although the extent of her compassion can depend on several different factors. She can take things personally and tends to keep her innermost thoughts private.

Jonathan Frederick “Jack” Fullerton, born April 6, 1821, was the fourth child born to Lady Josephine (1792-1835) and Tom (1791-1831) Fullerton in London England. He had three older siblings, Henry “Harry” (1812-1831), Anne (born 1815), and Isabel (born 1818). Jack was ten years old when his father and older brother passed away in a carriage accident, and four years later, his mother passed away from an illness. For the next few years, Jack was raised by his unmarried sisters and insisted on helping the family make money. Anne married an upcoming merchant by the name of James Clarke in 1838 and they had three daughters: Martha (born 1840), Frances (born 1842) and Thomasina (born 1845). His sister, Isabel, married a shopkeeper by the name of Benjamin Moller in 1842 and they had two children: Joseph (born 1845) and Elizabeth (born 1847).
Between the ages of 14 and 23, Jack held many different jobs. At the age of 23, he found a position as an apprentice in a printshop. He was content to work there until December of 1847 when Lady Christina Worthington, the dowager marchioness of Insley — and Jack’s aunt — appeared. She had spent the previous year searching for Lady Josephine and her children, as an old loophole stated that the Insley marquessate could pass down to the son of the most recent female relative as long as she held the blood of the marquessate in her. Her husband, Martin (1790-1844) was Lady Josephine’s elder brother and the second son. Their eldest brother, Frederick (1784-1838), had died unmarried with no heir. Thus, Lady Christina had deduced that Jack was the marquessate’s heir… much to his own confusion. But there was no turning down the dowager and Jack found himself entering a world that was completely foreign to him, a world that was scandalized by his existence. After all, his mother had been the daughter of a marquess and his father had been her brother’s valet… and to make matters even more surprising (and scandalizing), his mother had jilted an earl to marry his father, a lowly valet. 
As his first season begins in 1848, Jack feels more and more adrift. But a chance meeting with a Miss Violet Bridgerton changes everything. She’s made it her mission to help him acclimate to the ton. She’s kind and pretty and dear lord does Jack want to know her better. And while there’s a lot of unexpected things that occur during Jack’s first (and only) season, by the end of the season, he’s found his marchioness in Violet. Together, they have four children: Thomas, Levi, Josie, and Leo. Eldest son Thomas Benedict was born in November of 1850, with their second child, Levi Jonathan, being born about two years later in July 1852. Their only daughter, Josephine Sophia “Josie,” followed in January of 1855, with their youngest, Leopold Harry “Leo,” being born in September of 1856. 
Jack stands at 6’3” with a lean and athletic build. His hair is dark blonde, which is so dark that it’s almost brown. His eyes are a dull blue, almost unremarkable. Jack also has freckles across his nose and cheeks, which come out more in the sun. In addition, he has a small scar by the left corner of his lip. He tends to dress very understated and very simple. Jack is not a fan dressing ostentatiously or in bright colors. He prefers to stay under the radar, with navies, browns, blacks, and the occasional green. 
Jack is a reserved, generally level-headed man. He’s practical, responsible, dutiful, and an organized planner, all traits that one would think would help Jack in his transition from print shop apprentice to marquess. However, Jack’s also very awkward in situations where he’s uncomfortable and unfortunately, he’s very uncomfortable with the ton. He can be quite direct in these situations as well, which doesn’t help him with his fellow aristocrats. He’s also quite intelligent and logical. He prefers when things can be thought through and Jack’s not known for making impulsive decisions. In addition, he’s also fairly private and prefers to keep his cards close to his chest. To deal with his stress and anxiety about assuming the responsibility of the Insley title, Jack takes up running, boxing, and fencing. He also spends quite a bit of time with his nieces and nephew.

Please let me know what you guys think of this story. I feel like Dora hardly gets written on fan fan fiction and I wanted to poke into Dora’s head and see how she felt about moving to Green Gables and meeting Anne, Marilla, and even Gilbert. Dora has a story she wants to tell and I’m going to try and write this one for her.
Please tell me your thoughts on it and if you have any ideas on what I should put in the story, please feel free to share them!
Thank you!
Summary:
This is Dora Keith's story on the day she moved into Green Gables. Dora is a shy, scared, quite little girl who has been through a lot. What does Dora think of Anne? What does Dora think of Gilbert? What does Dora think of Marilla and Rachel? Anne tires her hardest to get Dora to open up to her. Anne wants to be Dora's friend. Anne wants Dora to have a fun childhood like Anne did growing up at Green Gables and in Avonlea. Will Dora loosen up and learn to be a child again? Anne will help with that.
Work Text:
Author’s note: A special note to my friend Nell Lime for giving me ideas and helping edit my chapter. I am writing a different story this time and it's about Dora’s intake on her arrival of Green Gables and what she thinks of Anne and even GIlbert I feel like Dora doesn’t get enough credit and i thought she has a story that wants to be told, so I am going to write it. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Please check out Nell Lime’s stories as well. She is a fantastic writer. Check out her newest story. Our Own Little Family. Thank you Nell Lime.
Chapter1:
Dora Keith of Green Gables, still remembered that vivid, horrible day back at her old home in East Grafton. She never would forget that day. She didn't think her twin brother Davy would forget it
either. The memory was so real for the both of them to this day.
It was a gray, dull morning when our story started. Dora Keith had gotten up early when the neighbor's rooster started its noise at the crack of dawn. Dora got out of her warm bed she had shared with Davy and slowly and quietly she got herself dressed.
The young doctor that has been staying with the Keith family, Doctor Franklin had fallen asleep in the chair by her mothers beside. He slowly woke up when the old rooster crowed next door and quickly checked Dora's mothers pulse.
Dora couldn't watch, she mumbled that she was going out to gather the few precious eggs the hens had managed to lay for them. Dora went to the little wooden table to grab her basket. She'd grabbed it just as Doctor Franklin got up and knelt down before her so he could be at Dora's eye level. He put a tender, caring hand on Dora's shoulder and her eyes slowly went to look at the ground.
"Please." Dora whimpered. " Please tell me she'll be alright. I- we have no place to go."
Doctor Franklin gently squeezed her shoulder and that's all she needed to know.
"You're a doctor! You're supposed to help people get better! Help Momma get better! You can't let her die. Please don't let her die, Doctor Franklin. I'll sell everything in the house we own to pay you without mommas permission. Please save her." Dora begged.
"Dora. I've done all I could, child. You've got to believe me. I may be fresh out of medical school, but I've done my best. Your momma was the first patient I have had and it's been an honor. I'm sorry sweetheart. I-I don't have anything left to offer her. Her body is too weak." Doctor Franklin tried to tell her.
Shaking her shoulder free, she grabbed her basket to get ready to collect the eggs for breakfast. But, before she left, she took a glance at her twin Davy. He was still sound asleep. He would be up as soon as breakfast was starting to cook. He was always hungry
.
Then she looked at her mother. She was so thin, almost a skeleton. She hasn't eaten in days or even weeks. Dora and even Davy tried to get her to eat. From eggs, to dry toast and soup. Whatever Dora could get her hands on from friends and neighbors.
Her hair had mostly fallen out now and Dora cried when it did. She remembered when she was younger, her mother had long, beautiful, blond hair. Just like Dora's. But that has long been gone. Her hair was just thin and scraggly and ready to fall out even more.
Her mother's face was thin and hollow. Her eyes almost sunken in. Her body was turning a grayish color. Death was slowly eating her mother alive. Dora knew it, so did Davy.
Davy -
Davy was terrified of going near their mother. He wasn't used to seeing her like this. But slowly, he did get used to it and would sometimes crawl on the bed with her and talk about his day with the neighbor kids. What games they played and what they did in town. Keeping his promise, he stayed out of trouble. Then other days, he would sit in the rocking chair looking so defeated, miserable and sad looking, he didn't have the heart to do anything bad the rest of the night.
Dora knew her momma was going to die today. Even in the early morning. Her mother deserved peace by this point. She has been suffering for so long. She was tired. She was ready to go home. Dora knew it.
Dora may be only 6 years old, but when you live in a town like East Grafton, you need to learn to be a grownup quickly. That is what she had to do. Now, she needed to be a grown up and take care of Davy.
Dora bit her lip to keep it from trembling. But it was the tears that gave it away. Dora put the basket back down that she was going to use to collect the eggs.
"Should I wake Davy?" Dora asked.
Doctor Franklin nodded his head yes.
Dora went over to the bed that she and Davy shared. Davy was still sleeping. Dora gently shook his shoulder and turned around to look at her with his sleepy eyes.
"Dora?" Davy mumbles.
"It's Momma, Davy. We-we need to say our goodbyes now. Doctor Franklin thinks we don't have much time left with Momma. Less than an hour." Dora said softly.
Davy gave a soft whimper, and he slowly got out of bed. Dora puts her hand out so Davy can hold it. She knew he was going to need her support. Davy took her little hand and together they both walked towards their mothers bedside to say goodbye.
————————
Dora and Davy quietly and slowly walked up to their mothers bedside. Dora sat down in the old rocking chair that Doctor Franklin usually sits in. Dora took her mothers frail, tired, worn hand into her own and brought her hand up to her cheek.
Sniffing a little bit, Dora said, "I promise to look after Davy and do my best to try and keep him out of trouble Momma. I'll try my best to have us not be separated and kept together. You have been a good Momma. Thank you for always taking care of us before you got sick. I love you Momma. You deserve peace and free of pain. Rest peacefully Momma. I love you."
Dora wasn't sure if her mother even heard a word she said. Dora took a peek at her mother. Her mother looked almost soulless. It shocked Dora to the core. She never had seen anyone like this. She has seen her mother fading this since she was sick yes, but she had always been afraid to truly look at her. She figured she would take a quick glance at her now before it was too late. Dora almost regretted it. She quickly gave her mother a little kiss on the cheek and then she went over to Davy.
Davy sat down in the chair just like Dora did and gently took his mothers hand. He was sniffing quietly trying not to be heard. He was trying to be the "man of the house."
"I'm sorry you got sick Momma. You have been a good momma. I'm going to miss you telling us stories and tucking us in at bedtime. I promise to keep Dora safe and make sure she will be taken care of. Goodbye Momma. Have a good sleep." Davy mumbled.
Dora saw the look of surprise on Davy's face as their mother squeezed his hand ever so slightly, before going limp in his hand. Davy peeked over to Dora waiting for a nod before leaning over to quickly give his mother a tender kiss on her cheek. Then he lifted himself up, and ran over to Dora to be with her. He wrapped his little arms around her, and together they sat on the bed.
————————
Dora felt like she had been waiting for a long time. She felt like she should be making breakfast or getting Davy dressed for the day. But instead, she and Davy were waiting with Doctor Franklin.
Doctor Franklin sat with the twins as they waited. He kept checking their mother's pulse, listening to her heart and lungs between glancing at the small clock they kept on the mantle. He'd tried to make small talk, sharing about what he'd liked so far since graduating and coming to help his mother's brother with his practice there in East Grafton. How he had a girl in Charlottetown he meant to marry. He'd let them listen to her heart beat, it grew weaker and weaker each time.
Davy was starting to get antsy at just sitting and waiting. He was dressed by this point and so was Dora. Dora had Davy go play with some blocks and his train set quietly in the corner. Davy didn't need to be told twice. It gave him something to do.
Dora got out her sewing project she was working on. Her apron had a big hole in it. Dora was outside one day in the little yard they had. There was a rose bush and her apron got caught in it. A big hole was made and she was heartbroken. That was her best apron and she couldn't afford another one. She asked her neighbor Mrs. Janie if she could help her get started on it.
That was a few weeks ago and Dora hasn't spent much time on her apron as she has hoped. She had been too busy. But, she got out her apron and little sewing kit and started to work on it.
Dora wasn't sure how long she had been working on her apron. A half hour, hour? But she was making some progress on it and Davy was being good at playing with his toys in the corner.
Dora was about to make another stitch in her apron when Doctor Franklin came up to her. She looked startled because she was concentrating so hard on her work, she didn't see or hear him approach her.
Davy noticed Doctor Franklin come up to Dora too and he quickly ran over to her. He sat on the bed with Dora and clutched her hand.
"I'm so sorry children, your mother passed away."
Dora turned pale and felt sick to her stomach. Davy let out a shriek and took off running outside.
Dora didn’t try to stop him. She looked at Doctor Franklin. “ Davy and I are orphans now, We have no family, no one to take us in. It's your fault Doctor Franklin. It's your fault if Davy and I are split up.”
Dora’s cold words hurt Doctor Franklin. Surprised him. At the moment, he didn’t have time to deal with his own feelings. He had the children to deal with. He knelt down to be at Dora’s level and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“ That's what I wanted to tell you, Dora. You and Davy won't be split up. I took the matters into my own hands and wrote to a relative, you and Davy. A woman named Marilla Cuthbert. She adopted a girl herself and has raised her. Marilla and the young women that she adopted will help raise you and Davy. She is a well respected woman from where she comes from. You and Davy won't have to be split child. Marilla and her adopted daughter will be here this afternoon, with her adopted daughter's friend. A young man. You don’t have to worry about being taken away from more little one. You and Davy will be safe.” Doctor Franklin said.
Dora felt her legs collapse underneath her.

Carole King
Tumblr media
Carole King, la cantautrice e compositrice di maggior successo della seconda metà del Ventesimo secolo, è stata un modello per diverse generazioni di musiciste e musicisti.
Le sue canzoni sono state riprese e interpretate da artisti come Quincy Jones, Rod Stewart, Bee Gees e Manhattan Transfer.
Cento diciotto sue canzoni sono entrate nella Billboard Hot 100 e sessantuno nella classifica inglese.
Con la sua fortunatissima You’ve Got a Friend è stata la prima donna della storia a vincere il Grammy nel 1972.
Nata col nome di Carol Klein, a New York il 9 febbraio del 1942, ha mostrato un precoce talento come pianista e autrice. Era alle scuole superiori quando ha formato il quartetto vocale Co-Sines. Poi è passata ai Tokens, la band del suo fidanzato di allora, Neil Sedaka che aveva scritto una canzone che porta il suo nome.
Arrivata al Queens College aveva conosciuto una serie di promettenti artisti, tra cui Paul Simon e Gerry Goffin, che sarebbe diventato suo marito e co-autore con cui ha sfornato pezzi che hanno fatto la storia della musica,
Il loro primo successo Will You Love Me Tomorrow, composto per le Shirelles, raggiunse la vetta della Billboard Hot 100 il 1˚ gennaio del 1961 quando Carole King doveva ancora compiere 19 anni.
Insieme hanno prodotto hit per i nomi più grandi dell’epoca, dagli Animals ai Byrds e i Monkees, fino al capolavoro ‘You Make Me Feel (Like A Natural Woman)’, realizzata per Aretha Franklin.
La costruzione musicale dei loro successi si discostava dagli stereotipi dell’epoca per il loro stile nelle armonizzazioni, che hanno ispirato anche i primi Beatles.
Dopo il divorzio da Goffin, nel 1968, si è trasferita a Los Angeles con le due figlie per vivere in una comune creativa dove ha conosciuto Joni Mitchell, James Taylor e la sua compagna Toni Stern con cui ha scritto It’s Too Late, una tappa fondamentale nel percorso per divenire una songwriter in autonomia. È stato un periodo difficile della sua vita, ma che le è servito per acquisire consapevolezza delle sue capacità e potenziale.
È stato in quella fase che ha composto molti dei brani finiti nell’album Tapestry, inclusa You’ve Got a Friend, ispirata a un verso della canzone di James Taylor Fire and Rain. Il disco, posizionato dalla rivista Rolling Stone al 36º posto nella classifica dei 500 migliori album di tutti i tempi, ha venduto ventidue milioni di copie in tutto il mondo e le ha portato ben quattro Grammy per miglior album dell’anno, migliore canzone, migliore composizione dell’anno e migliore interprete femminile, facendole detenere per 20 anni il record femminile di permanenza in classifica.
Questo disco dal successo strepitoso ha contribuito a rendere un genere popolare il cantautorato confessionale e le donne del rock hanno trovato un modello da seguire.
Superando gradualmente la sua timidezza e insicurezza a mostrarsi in pubblico, ha suonato capolavori come It’s Too Late e I Feel the Earth Move davanti a platee sempre più grandi, fino al mega concerto gratuito a Central Park del 26 maggio 1973, quando si è esibita davanti a una folla di 70000 persone.
Oltre alla musica, passione di una vita, Carole King ha sempre avvertito una forte attrazione per la natura incontaminata e la libertà.
Dopo l’esperienza della comune californiana, si è trasferita in una piccola città di montagna, nell’Idaho, e da questa dimensione è cominciato così il suo attivismo ambientale, più volte si è recata a Washington con l’Alliance for the Wild Rockies.
Nel 1990, è stata inserita, insieme a Goffin, nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nella categoria non-esecutori per il suo successo come autrice musicale.
Nel 1996 è stato realizzato un film ispirato alla sua vita, Grace of my heart.
Ha riscritto la canzone Where You Lead (I Will Follow) per adattarla al telefilm Una mamma per amica, cantandola con la figlia Louise Goffin. È anche apparsa in qualche episodio, nel ruolo della proprietaria del negozio di musica.
Ha prodotto diversi altri dischi, mai uguagliando il successo di Tapestry, ma ha continuato a suonare, adorata dal pubblico e dalla critica.
Tanti i premi che le sono stati riconosciuti nella sua carriera, tra i quali spiccano la stella col suo nome nella Hollywood Walk of Fame, il Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song conferitole da Barack Obama e il Kennedy Center Honors.
Nel 2014 ha debuttato a Broadway il musical sulla sua vita, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
La timida figlia dei fiori newyorkese che si è imposta sulla scena internazionale, con la sua voce limpida e la delicata sensibilità, pregna delle utopie degli anni Settanta, non si è fatta mai travolgere dallo star system, conservando integra la sua grazia iniziale intrisa di grandi ideali.
Negli ultimi anni si esibisce poco, mentre è rimasto immutato il suo impegno per l’ambiente.

Una Tesla che guidava da sola ha salvato la vita a un uomo nel North Carolina
Una Tesla che guidava da sola ha portato al pronto soccorso il suo proprietario per cure mediche urgenti. Ma facciamo un passo indietro, perché Elon Musk - sempre roboante ed estremo nelle sue promesse - non ha lesinato entusiasmo sulla guida autonoma delle sue Tesla. Ne parla dal 2016 e il suo obiettivo era quello di rendere pienamente funzionale il sistema Full Self-Driving (FSD) entro il 2019 o il 2020. Cosa mai avvenuta e che ha causato anche guai a Tesla, come nel recente patteggiamento per la morte di un ingegnere Apple alla guida di una Tesla con FSD inserito. La storia di MaxPaul Franklin, produttore televisivo della Carolina del Nord, segna tuttavia una vittoria per Musk e sembra mostrare le capacità molto evolute dell'ultimo aggiornamento del sistema Full Self-Driving (FSD) nella sua versione V12. Proprio lo scorso 1 aprile, Tesla ha fatto cadere la parola "beta" dal suo sitema di Guida autonoma completa (FSD) per tutti i suoi veicoli negli Stati Uniti, consentendo anche un periodo di prova di un mese. Poche ore dopo, nella notte tra il 1 e il 2 aprile, Franklin si è trovato ad affrontare una situazione di emergenza che ha messo alla prova le funzionalità più avanzate della sua Model Y. L'uomo era alle prese con una grave disidratazione e un pericoloso sbalzo dei livelli di glicemia, arrivati a toccare il valore di 670 a causa di un malfunzionamento della pompa per l'insulina. In preda a questi gravi problemi, e colpito anche da un lieve infarto, Franklin ha deciso di affidarsi completamente alla sua Tesla. È salito a bordo, ha attivato la guida autonoma FSD V12, fresca di installazione (il sistema è un'evoluzione a pagamento dell'Autopilot, che viene fornito di serie su tutti i veicoli Tesla). L'auto ha percorso autonomamente circa 20 chilometri fino all'ingresso del pronto soccorso del Charles George Medical Center di Asheville, un centro medico per veterani delle forze armate, in North Carolina, senza richiedere alcun intervento da parte del proprietario. Il racconto di Franklin «Senza alcuna mia interferenza, l'auto ha abilmente affrontato il viaggio di 20 km dalla mia abitazione al pronto soccorso dell'ospedale per veterani, offrendosi di parcheggiare in autonomia una volta arrivati così da permettermi di ricevere immediata assistenza medica» racconta Franklin in un post su X (l'ex Twitter), con tanto di foto, che Elon Musk ha poi condiviso regalandogli una visibilità enorme. Una volta giunti a destinazione, la Model Y ha effettivamente proposto di cercare un parcheggio in modo autonomo, mentre Franklin veniva accolto dai medici. Grazie alle cure del personale ospedaliero, l'uomo si è rimesso rapidamente dalla crisi glicemica e dall'attacco cardiaco.  Su X e altri social, molti utenti hanno commenta che, in casi di emergenza come questo, sarebbe sempre preferibile chiamare i soccorsi. Ma altri ricordano che il tempo di intervento medio di un'ambulanza negli Stati Uniti è di 8 minuti, e che per zone rurali come quelle dove vive Franklin, questo tempo si può dilatare a 20-25 minuti e che quindi un'auto a guida autonoma permetterebbe di risparmiare minuti preziosi. Tuttavia è anche importante ricordare che - anche se Tesla continua a parlare di «guida completamente autonoma» (FSD) - le norme prevedono che l'umano al volante sia sempre pronto a intervenire e a riprendere il controllo, cosa che con è verosimile con un attacco cardiaco in corso.  Nelle ultime due settimane, chi ha potuto provare l'ultimo aggiornamento del FSD ha sottolineato gli ingegneri Tesla abbiano compiuto un significativo balzo in avanti con questa tecnologia. Oltre a numerosi tester che hanno riferito di non aver più dovuto intervenire durante tragitti complessi in città, altri indizi di un possibile punto di svolta sono l'email inviata da Elon Musk ai dipendenti nordamericani, in cui richiede che le dimostrazioni complete di FSD siano parte integrante delle consegne dei veicoli, e soprattutto l'annuncio della presentazione del Robotaxi, previsto per il prossimo 8 agosto (cosa che motiva l'entusiasmo con cui Musk ha condiviso la storia a lieto fine di Franklin). Lo stesso MaxPaul Franklin, il cui entusiasmo è comprensibiule, paragona il balzo in avanti compiuto dalla guida autonoma Tesla con all'avvento degli smartphone rispetto ai precedenti telefoni cellulari.  «Autonoma» ma supervisionata Nel momento in cui Tesla ha sbloccato a tutti i proprietari statunitensi l'accesso all'ultima versione della guida autonoma, il sistema Full Self-Driving (FSD) V12 ha perso l'etichetta "beta", diventando "Supervised" ovvero "supervisionata". Il conducente deve sempre poter riprendere il controllo del veicolo, anche se l'auto è autonoma in accelerazione, frenata e sterzo. Le note di rilascio chiariscono che - sotto supervisione umana - FSD può guidare ovunque, ma che questo non rende il veicolo completamente autonomo. Diversi enti ed esperti del settore hanno criticato Tesla per il nome "Full Self-Driving", definendolo fuorviante e irresponsabile. In alcuni casi, come già ricordato, l'azienda è stata persino citata in giudizio per questo. È possibile che il cambio di nome sia finalizzato al lancio globale della funzionalità. Tesla ha anche attivato un'opzione in abbonamento (99 dollari al mese) per attivare le funzioni software di FSD. Read the full article

Storia e segreti dell’ora legale
Nella notte tra il 30 e il 31 marzo torna in Italia l’ora legale, con il vantaggio di avere più ore di luce nelle sere estive e primaverili. L’ora legale nacque  da un’idea di Benjamin Franklin, che pubblicò nel 1784, sul Journal de Paris, il progetto di spostare un’ora avanti le lancette dell’orologio con l’arrivo della primavera, per approfittare delle giornate più lunghe e risparmiare così le…

La FAO: storia e simbolo
La FAO, acronimo di Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per l'Alimentazione e l'Agricoltura, è un'agenzia delle Nazioni Unite dedicata a questioni legate all'alimentazione, all'agricoltura e allo sviluppo rurale. Fondata il 16 ottobre 1945, la FAO è divenuta un'organizzazione di riferimento a livello globale per la promozione della sicurezza alimentare, la lotta contro la fame e la sostenibilità agricola. In questo articolo, esploreremo la storia e il simbolo della FAO, analizzando il suo ruolo chiave nella tutela del diritto a un cibo sufficiente e di qualità per tutti. Storia della FAO La storia della FAO inizia alla fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Nel 1943, il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Franklin D. Roosevelt tenne una conferenza sull'alimentazione e l'agricoltura a Hot Springs, in Arkansas, in cui venne esposta la necessità di un'organizzazione internazionale per affrontare le questioni legate all'alimentazione e all'agricoltura in un mondo ancora segnato dalle carestie e dalla fame. Questa idea prese forma nel 1945, quando 44 paesi si riunirono a Quebec, in Canada, per creare la FAO. La FAO è diventata operativa il 16 ottobre 1945, con l'obiettivo di alleviare la fame e la malnutrizione, promuovere la crescita economica nelle zone rurali e sostenere lo sviluppo sostenibile dell'agricoltura. La sua sede centrale è a Roma, Italia, una scelta simbolica in quanto l'Italia era uno dei paesi che aveva sofferto di gravi carestie durante la guerra e aveva bisogno di un nuovo inizio nella produzione alimentare. Nel corso degli anni, la FAO ha lavorato per raggiungere una serie di obiettivi ambiziosi, tra cui l'eliminazione della fame, la promozione dell'agricoltura sostenibile e la riduzione della povertà rurale. Ha svolto un ruolo chiave nella promozione della sicurezza alimentare a livello globale, coordinando sforzi, fornendo assistenza tecnica ai paesi in via di sviluppo e conducendo ricerche per migliorare la produzione alimentare. Il Simbolo della FAO Il simbolo della FAO è noto come "il simbolo dell'aratro e delle spighe". Questo emblema incarna il mandato e la missione dell'organizzazione. Raffigura un aratro d'oro posto su uno sfondo azzurro, circondato da due spighe di grano dorate. Il simbolo è un'icona riconoscibile a livello mondiale che rappresenta l'impegno della FAO per l'agricoltura e l'alimentazione. - L'aratro simboleggia il lavoro dei contadini e l'importanza dell'agricoltura nel fornire cibo per l'umanità. L'uso dell'oro per raffigurare l'aratro è un segno di rispetto per il duro lavoro dei contadini. - Le spighe di grano rappresentano le coltivazioni di base che costituiscono la base dell'alimentazione umana. Il grano è uno dei cereali più coltivati al mondo ed è una fonte essenziale di cibo per molte persone. - Il colore azzurro dello sfondo simboleggia il cielo, l'acqua e la pace, richiamando l'idea di un mondo in cui la fame e la malnutrizione sono debellate. Questo simbolo è un richiamo costante alla missione della FAO di garantire che l'agricoltura sia sostenibile e che il cibo sia disponibile in quantità sufficienti per tutti, senza compromettere le risorse naturali del pianeta. Il ruolo dell'organizzazione La FAO ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale soprattutto nella promozione della sicurezza alimentare e nella lotta contro la fame nel mondo. La sua storia è una testimonianza dell'importanza di affrontare le sfide legate all'alimentazione e all'agricoltura su scala globale. Il suo simbolo, con l'aratro e le spighe, incarna soprattutto l'impegno dell'organizzazione a garantire che tutti abbiano accesso a cibo di alta qualità e che l'agricoltura sia sostenibile per le generazioni future. La FAO rappresenta un faro di speranza nella ricerca di un mondo in cui la fame non sia più una realtà. Read the full article
