She continued: “But I always have to look at the silver linings-they are trying. Where I’m not sure it could have helped us over here, it doesn’t really matter, it still feels like a gut punch." She told her Instagram followers: “Yesterday I read that Wave Life Sciences ended their clinical trial that could potentially treat frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The 68-year-old retired actor is suffering from frontotemporal dementia, a progressive neurological disorder that impacts cognition and behaviour.Īnd his 44-year-old wife has shared how gutted she was to learn that a clinical trial for a potential treatment for the condition had concluded, but she is keeping the faith that a cure will be found. Emma Heming Willis is hopeful for a cure for the devastating disorderĮmma Heming Willis will "never lose hope" that scientists will find a cure for Bruce Willis' type of dementia. And I find it dehumanizing to women because I think that surely we have to have something more than male benevolence as the basis for a woman's wellbeing. It means raising a girl to believe that she is inferior to a man, but that the man is expected to be good to her that women are somehow naturally subordinate to men, but men have to treat women well. but I realized I didn't actually have a concrete map of the particular, specific things that I think will help if we do them differently." Because I have talked a lot about these things and I care very much about them and I get very passionate. "Yes, I wrote it for my friend, but I think to a large extent it was also my way of mapping out my own thinking. It's called Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, and it talks about everything from how to choose toys to teaching self-reliance to challenging traditional gender roles.Īdichie says writing the letter was useful for her, too. Now, that letter has been published as a book. A few years ago, Chimamanda Adichie received a message from a childhood friend asking for advice: She wanted to know how to raise her newborn daughter to be a feminist.įor Adichie - a best-selling author who has also made a name for herself as a leading feminist voice - the question was a bit daunting, but she wrote a long letter back to her friend. She feels compelled to follow Vess and help free Ariel, taking a clerk's car. Chyna secretly watches Vess boast to the gas station clerks that he is holding a young girl, Ariel, prisoner in his basement, before he kills them and drives away. When Vess stops at a gas station, she sneaks out of the motor home and looks for a payphone. Before she can escape, Vess drives away.Ĭhyna hides in a back room, planning to escape at the earliest opportunity. Unaware Laura is dead, Chyna sneaks aboard the motor home and finds her friend's corpse. Chyna hears Laura screaming and runs upstairs, intending to attack Vess with a knife. Before she can intervene, Vess kills Laura and takes her to his motor home. After discovering that Laura has been tied up and raped, Chyna leaves, promising to return. This comes to a violent end when serial killer Edgler Vess breaks into the house in the night and methodically kills all of the occupants except Laura and Chyna. Chyna, who was abused and neglected by her mother as a child, finds that the Templeton house provides something she has yearned: acceptance. Chyna Shepard is a college student visiting the family of her friend, Laura Templeton, for a long weekend. But with a single cylinder, you can enter and exit through the ends, preferably along the axis where there’s no pseudo-gravity. In order to keep the outer shell and the inner cylinder from touching, we place magnetic bearings in the gap. We make it non-rotating and separate from the cylinder so that it doesn’t place a load on the cylinder. So stick a non-rotating shell around the cylinder, made of rock or other friable material, to absorb meteor impacts. And like Johanssen said in The Martian, we need air to not die. One good meteor punch and all the air drains out of the cylinder. That’s great, but possibly a little exposed. There are different designs for introducing light into the cylinder, but the one used in Heaven’s River is a fusion-powered light source on a structure that runs down the center of the cylinder. An O’Neill cylinder, at its most basic, is just a large drum, rotating around its axis to create centrifugal pseudo-gravity on the inside surface. I’ve seen a few comments that Heaven’s River is not sufficiently well described in the book, so I’ve put together this post to describe it in more detail.įirst, let’s start with an O’Neill cylinder, something most people are far more familiar with. If you haven’t read the book yet, best stop now. The loss of the nation-state in imperialism spelled doom for the Jewish people. With the decline of the nation-state, the influence of the Jewish elite also declined significantly, but at the same time the influence of antisemitism as an ideology inexplicably seemed to grow. This exceptional position put them outside of class society and seemed to connect them to the state, making them a target of hatred whenever a class or group came into conflict with the state. To do this, Arendt studies their roles as financiers to the state and a special group in society that was not fully integrated into the nation-state. Arendt argues that it is not mere coincidence that they were chosen as the victims of the horrors of totalitarianism, and that by investigating their relationship to society as a whole, one might learn why they became the object of so much hatred. The first section, "Antisemitism," investigates why antisemitism and the figure of the Jew played such an integral role in Nazi and totalitarian propaganda. The first two sections are devoted to the historical developments in modern society from the 19th century until the crisis of the first World War that marks the beginning of totalitarian success in Europe. It is split into three parts: Antisemitism, Imperialism and Totalitarianism. The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt is an in-depth analysis of the historical circumstances surrounding the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century. Something throbbed in my hand: the beating pulse of the Witchwood arrow. “How was it ‘supposed’ to go? What did you come here to do? Show me, Meghan Chase.” “Show me, then.” Machina opened his arms wide. “No,” I muttered, struggling against the iron net. My head throbbed and I tried backing away, but the cables held me fast. Nor did you come for the Unseelie prince you claim to love. “You did not come for your brother, Meghan Chase. “No.” Machina shook his head, moving closer. “You kidnapped my brother, Ethan, to draw me here. What did I want? What had I come for? “My brother,” I answered, remembering. I shivered, keeping my hands at my sides as the tentacles caressed my skin. “Meghan Chase,” Machina murmured, running a hand through my hair. I stepped forward to meet him as the iron cables wrapped gently around me, drawing me close. Like an avenging angel, he floated toward me, hand outstretched, a sad, tender smile on his lips. Lightning flickered in the depths of his jet-black eyes, and the steel tentacles running the length of his spine and shoulders coiled around him like a cloak of wings, glinting in the light. His long black coat billowed behind him, accenting the pale, angular face and translucent skin, the blue-green veins glowing beneath the surface. The Iron King stood before me, magnificent in his beauty, silver hair whipping about like an unruly waterfall. But it is Rainbird, Number 67’s clever and elegant butler, who sees through her facade and resolves to help his mysterious mistress in whatever way he can. Furthermore, his ward, Fiona, though a dazzling Highland beauty, does not seem to possess one bright idea in her head. Sinclair is a terrible miser who is planning no parties. The staff is overjoyed - until they find that Mr. Salvation seems to come in the form of Roderick Sinclair who confirms he wishes to rent the house for the current season. The police have no leads, and her brother Ren discovers just how much he didn't know about her. Rainbirds begins with the funeral of Keiko Ishida, a young teacher that was brutally murdered late one night. Could it be that it is associated with ill luck and even death? Something must be done so that the servants of this house don’t lose their livelihood. This debut novel by Clarissa Goenawan is a book that will stay with you when you finish. Is Number 67 Clarges Street the unluckiest house in Mayfair? Every season the beau mondes of the Regency would hire a house in the heart of London’s fashionable West End at disproportionately high rent for often inferior accommodation and yet Number 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, remains vacant from year to year. Thanks to all the graphs, charts, and data pages that Hickman enjoys to use, you can probably go into X of Swords without knowing much about it. This includes the official reading order, background reading, release dates, and heaps more. Luckily, this handy reading order checklist has everything you need to make it easy to read. A story of that scale can be intimidating. In true X-Men fashion, X of Swords will touch all of X-titles to tell a 22-part epic. Although, what we do know is that it will heavily involve Apocalypse and a whole lot of swords! Marvel is keep keeping details about this Hickman and Tini Howard headed epic close to their chest. We are now one year into this exciting new era and we are now seeing it’s first comic book event – X of Swords (pronounced Ten of Swords). Jonathan Hickman rocked the status quo of the X-Men, introducing dozens of brand new concepts. I argue that the lengths Ali goes to in order to establish the distinctness and individualisation of Nazneen’s experience, combined her depiction of fringe characters, such as Chanu and Razia, as they interact with London and British culture absolves Ali from the “burden of representation”. Rather, Ali seeks to create a more nuanced portrayal of how London uniquely shapes the life of a few immigrants and how in doing so, she evades totalisations of the immigrant experience in London. In this paper, I will argue how it is fruitless to interpret the inclusion of Hasina’s life in Dhaka as a foil intended to project certain messages about the ability of London to enrich an immigrant’s life through providing them with the tools to emancipate themselves. What critics tend to overlook, however, are the subtle ways in which Ali subverts or complicates both Nazneen and Hasina’s characterisations. The epistolary form of Hasina’s narrative – and its role in Nazneen’s life – is an issue that often perplexes readers and critics alike, especially given the seemed stereotypes that litter Hasina’s narrative. Monica Ali’s portrayal of London and Nazneen’s experience as an immigrant is, to a great degree, inflected by a comparison to which Ali repeatedly returns – Hasina’s experience in her homeland of Bangladesh. |
