Study Questions from Chapter Three of “Queen Elizabeth Tudor: Student-Teacher edition.”

Of all the monarchs in English history, Queen Elizabeth I Tudor is undoubtedly the most famous. The daughter of Anne Boelyn her life was wrought with scandal as she loved, but did not marry, Robert Dudley. This is the story of Elizabeth’s life from age 7 when she first met Robert (1540) until 1587 when she put her cousin Queen Mary Stuart to death. It includes Queen Mary’s trial and therefore continues Mary’s story — from the English point of view.

Here are the study questions that fo...

Study Questions from Chapter two of “Mary Queen of the Scots: Student-Teacher edition.”

Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland is one of the most famous women in European History. Remembered perhaps more for the way she died than the way she lived, she was hated by Scottish nobles profiting from the violent Scottish Reformation while beloved by the poor.

In this biography I highlight her reign, showing why the people loved her along with her private, personal losses that far too many women today find all too familiar.

Here are the study questions that follow and relate to chapt...

Defaulting add-ons. Dominos tricks customers into paying more.

In general, I like Dominos pizza. The quality is reliably good and the points system is relatively fair. Not a great value, but good enough to continue to order from them.

On 25 June 2025 I ordered a delivery from them. My standard fare: 2 medium 2 topping pizzas. 1 is pepperoni and tomato. 1 is chicken with half tomato and half mushroom. Normal everything. Sounds normal, right? Nothing out of the ordinary. 2 medium pizzas for $6.99 each offer.

Except now when you place yo...
