Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() “Or we learned one set, and then somebody switched them out.” The absurd mess of American health insurance confounds every effort to get Willa’s father-in-law the care he needs. “It’s like the rules don’t apply anymore,” Willa says. Upheavals in publishing and higher education have knocked their income back to starting-level salaries. Willa and her husband, a college professor, worked hard their entire lives but are now close enough to retirement to realize that no retirement awaits them. As the novel opens, this extended family has just moved to Vineland, N.J., into a collapsing house that serves as their precarious shelter and a very sturdy metaphor. The heroine, Willa Knox, is a freelance journalist burdened with the care of her baby grandson and her right-wing father-in-law. The contemporary story in “Unsheltered” offers a collage of Democratic talking points acted out in the lives of a middle-class family slipping down the ladder of success. ![]()

And these are divided into the Zeybek dances of the 9/4 Zeybekika and the 9/8, which include the faster Karsilamas, Aptalikos Karsilamas and the Kamilierikos. Rhythm Patterns The Zeybek rhythm pattern types fall into two categories - 9/4 Zeybekika and the 9/8 Zeybekika. Even today new Zeybek dances are written by the newer generation of composers and are danced in clubs by the younger generation. ![]() ![]() When the phonograph recording units were available in Athens older musicians from Smyrni started to record traditional dances on record, while as a popular dance they started to record new Zeybek dances from the ’30s. In the ’70s it became acceptable for women to dance it too. As it was an exclusively male dance it became a trademark for the males to dance and show their dancing abilities in public. Their dances spread to the Greek Islands of the Aegean coast, and then, later, after the Greeks left Asia Minor, to the rest of Greece. The Zeybek Rhythms and Dances of Greece and Lesvos Island By Panagiotis Agiakatsikas The Greek Zeybek dances (Zeybekika) derive directly from the Zeybeks of Minor Asia. ![]() Caught on Camera by Meg Maguire6/29/2023 ![]() The next time she got close to a guy, she hoped to heck he smelled like a gentleman. Steph had sampled enough of each to last a lifetime. Sweat and concrete-the scents of laboring men. A thick sheet of rubber flaps hung over the would-be door, but dust still escaped. In the workers’ corner-shouted questions and directions, the squeal of a band saw or sander from inside the space that would become a second locker room in a couple weeks’ time. ![]() In the fighters’ corner-the sounds of gloves whacking and men grunting, the bass din of the hip-hop that fueled their drills. ![]() The cardio equipment and mats and the boxing and octagonal rings were crowded to one side, the other half overtaken by milling contractors and stacks of cinder block. It wasn’t how she remembered it from her last visit, in November. STEPH PAUSED AT THE BOTTOM of the steps, gym bag in hand, and gave the space a long study. ![]() There Is a God by Antony Flew6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() God was the conclusion of a rather long argument, then. But in There is a God, we find that it was actually a very gradual process-a “two decade migration,” as you call it. The following is an excerpt from the interview:īenjamin Wiker: You say in There is a God, that “it may well be that no one is as surprised as I am that my exploration of the Divine has after all these years turned from denial.to discovery.” Everyone else was certainly very surprised as well, perhaps all the more so since on our end, it seemed so sudden. Paul Center for Biblical Theology and the author of four books. In his comment on my post on There Is a God, John left a link to an interview with Antony Flew conducted by Benjamin Wiker on October 30, 2007. ![]() ![]() ![]() As well as introducing students and researchers to the beauty of dragonflies on their island, the guide provides a basis to study them and use them in biodiversity studies supporting the conservation of freshwater habitats. ![]() Over 400 copies will be donated to universities throughout New Guinea. It will doubtless stimulate people to explore the streams and standing waters of New Guinea and to appreciate the wonderful diversity of dragonflies and damselflies to be found there. With it the reader can identify the approximately 175 species presently known from New Guinea, its satellite islands and the Bismark Archipelago. This book is a companion to the ‘Field Guide to the damselflies of New Guinea’ published in 2013 by the same authors and covers the ‘true’ dragonflies, or Anisoptera. ![]() Albert Orr - Vincent Kalkman - Field Guide to the dragonflies of New Guinea ![]() The rose from concrete6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The poem, The Rose that Grew from the Concrete, is about a rose that grows from a crack in the concrete. Analysis: Symbolism: Symbols or symbolism is an artistic expression used in poetry to express mystical ideas, emotions and states of mind. In the last lines, the poet expresses support by saying 'long live' and he claims that as the rose focused on keeping his dreams, it was able to live a long life. The lack of care and surrounding did not prove to bring hindrance to the rose's growth. ![]() Although it seems funny, but by focusing and realizing his dreams, it finally learnt to survive by breathing the fresh air around him. Refuting the laws of nature, the rose has learnt how to walk without having feet. Summary: The poet begins the poem with a question that whether we have heard about the rose that has grown out from a crack in the concrete. The poem is highly inspirational and motivating the readers to focus and realize their dreams to make them come true. The Rose that Grew from the Concrete by American rapper Tupac Shakur is about reaching our goals in life despite the hardships and conflicts that we face on the way. ![]() Heart of darkness6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He uses Marlow’s inner voice and thoughts to portray the beliefs people held of Africans at the time, Marlow often speaks of the European men as dignified and civilised people in comparison to the Africans which he sees as “nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation”. Conrad’s depiction of his society at the time is reflective in Heart of Darkness. Hawkins believes despite Conrad creating a racist and bigoted character in his own image, he doesn’t necessarily believe the views Marlow holds and intact Conrad challenges these ideas. Readers and scholars such as Hunt Hawkins somewhat disagree with Achebe’s contention that Conrad himself is a racist. However what Achebe fails to mention in his critical review is that Conrad provides Marlow with moments of confusion, as his beliefs of the Africans are often challenged and proved wrong. One of these readers is the African, post-colonial scholar, Chinua Achebe, who is deeply offended by Conrad’s text on what he sees as an invasion, because Conrad did not give the Africans in the novel a voice. ![]() Star wars jason aaron omnibus 26/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The editors who oversaw the Star Wars series (and continue to do so for all the comics) include Jordan D. He was joined by editors and artists (and the Story Group), all of which affected the stories being told in their own ways, so not all of the below can be hoisted solely on Aaron, good or bad. Having read the series since its inception, it’s time now to look back at Aaron’s legacy as this retrospective discusses what I feel has been the good, the bad, and the in-between of his nearly three year run.īefore I go any further, I’d like to note that while Jason Aaron was the writer, he was not alone over these 37 issues. And after 37 issues, stretching from January 2015 to October 2017, Jason Aaron’s run has come to an end. His stories contained everything from big surprises were you least expected them to character moments big and small. ![]() At the helm of the series since the start has been writer Jason Aaron, who has taken us on anthology-lite arcs of story between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, filling in what’s becoming quite the crowded era. ![]() Since Marvel’s new beginnings with the Star Wars license, the Star Wars mainline series has been the backbone of the comics, providing adventurous tales about the Big Three: Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo. ![]() |
