Jeanette Winterson - Jeanette Winterson Jeanette Winterson's first novel was "Oranges are not the only fruit" written about Jeanette's childhood (although she does not refer to it as wholly autobiographical), being raised by evangelical parents somewhere in the north of England. Being a subject close to Jeanette's heart, "Oranges" also delves into Jeanette's teenage relationship with a young woman - a relationship that finally causes her to leave the church. "Oranges" became a successful BBC mini-series. Much of her work is said to be written in the style of magic realism - although Jeanette herself denies this. More of her works include: The Powerbook - a plotless novel about a woman who writes the heroic stories of other people Gut Symmetries - a strange combination of interpersonal relationships and.

Accrington - the butt of many (largely affectionate) jokes. The team's name is often invoked as a symbol of British sport's legion of plucky but hopeless causes (much like British ski-jumping's 'heroic failure' Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards). The original Accrington Stanley, having gone into enforced liquidation, were ignominiously ejected from the Football League in the 1960s. The current club plays in the 'non-league' Nationwide Conference divisions. Accrington's famous sons & daughters include Jon Anderson of rock band Yes, author Jeanette Winterson (whose Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is an account of her childhood in the town) and composer Harrison Birtwistle. Geography Accrington is located at 53°46'00" North, 02°21'00" West (53.7667, -2.3500)1..

Jennie Jerome - Jennie Jerome Jeanette (Jennie) Jerome (January 9, 1854 - June 9, 1921) was an American society beauty, best known to history as the mother of British prime minister Winston Churchill. She was born at 8 or 197 Amity Street, in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn, New York, (the exact address differs between sources). She was the eldest daughter of financier Leonard Jerome and his wife, Clara Hall. A noted beauty—an admirer said that there was "more of the panther than of the woman in her look"—Jennie Churchill also worked as a magazine editor and bore a fashionable tattoo of a snake twined around her left wrist. Hall family lore insists that Jennie Jerome was part Iroquois, but no evidence of any Native American ancestry has yet been.

Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand - left-wing economics, progressive social policies, and pacifism are also prominent in its platform. The party has two leaders: Jeanette Fitzsimons and Rod Donald. Policies The Greens generally focus primarily on environmental issues. In recent times, they have been particularly concerned about genetic engineering, being strongly opposed to its use in New Zealand. They have also spoken out against the military operations conducted by the United States of America in Afghanistan and Iraq.
