As a father, Dad led us on adventures in skiing, sailing, playing cribbage, canoe tripping and very long road trips across the country. His many stories included curling with homemade rocks on frozen Saskatchewan ponds, flying across the country in cargo planes with the Air Cadets and terrifying his grandmother by building jumps for his bike. Although he suffered years of health challenges that took away his independence and vitality, his family will remember the twinkle in his eye, his razor-sharp mental arithmetic and how much he cared for all of us.īorn in Saskatoon, Lorne was an active and confident boy.

The Chalk Man is totally engrossing from start to finish. Thirty years later and Eddie has his life together (mostly), that is until he gets an envelope through the post, containing a stick of chalk and the drawing of a figure. ![]() On this fateful day, during a horrific fair accident, Eddie meets Mr Halloran - the Chalk Man. He gave Eddie the idea for the drawings: a way to leave secret messages for his friends and it was fun, until the chalk men led them to a body. It begins in 1986, 12 year old Eddie and his friends meet up as the travelling fair arrives in their town. While it has a voice all it's own, The Chalk Man is a perfect accompliment to Kings' work. I picked up The Chalk Man purely as a result of Stephen King recommending it on twitter after he said If you like my stuff, you'll like this. He isn't wrong. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Sickening by john abramson![]() ![]() For example, one of pharma’s best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. ![]() John Abramson-one of the foremost experts on the drug industry’s deceptive tactics-combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals. ![]() ![]() The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries-yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world.

(themes: feminism, race, relationships, healing) Mouthful of Forevers by Clementine Von Radics ![]() ![]() ![]() It focuses on how various go-betweens mediated political, cultural, religious and linguistic boundaries in the encounters between Ottoman grandees and European diplomats. In conclusion, the article directs readers to reconsider Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Paşa’s ambitious undertakings – especially the siege of Vienna – as a combined outcome of the decision-making patterns established by the first two Köprülüs, coupled with the self-assurance that Kara Mustafa Paşa had attained long before his appointment as the sultan’s ‘absolute deputy’.īy drawing on documents from European archives, this article addresses everyday aspects of diplomacy in sixteenth-century Constantinople. Further, I illustrate that Kara Mustafa Paşa had already established himself as a self-assured individual in Ottoman bureaucracy long before he became the grand vizier. ![]() ![]() I demonstrate that, by the time Kara Mustafa Paşa assumed the grand vizierate in 1676, the achievements of Köprülü Mehmed Paşa and, more remarkably, his son Fazıl Ahmed Paşa, had elevated the post of the grand vizierate to a practically unrivalled status in the Ottoman decision-making process. ![]() In response to the recently expanding ‘renewal of faith’ literature and religion-based approaches to the Ottoman seventeenth century, this article sources the many available Ottoman chronicles and European diplomatic reports to shed light on the accumulation of full executive power in the hands of Köprülü grand viziers, starting from 1656. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Citizen by claudia rankine![]() ![]() Then why are you pulling me over? Why am I pulled over? Put your hands where they can be seen. I wasn't speeding? You didn't do anything wrong.

I become obsessed with Sebastian, arguably the first literary manic pixie dream boy, and obsessed with the strange trajectory that his life takes in Waugh’s book. Had my friend known when she inscribed that note that she was giving me one of the queerest books I would ever read? Is it possible that that’s actually why she gave it to me, her little budding lesbian friend? Also, he carried around a teddy bear named Aloysius. Sebastian’s demons had to do with his family, his god, and his alcoholism. Or at least it was more complicated than that. The book was published in 1944, and, with Sebastian, Waugh had created this incredible gay man, who yes, was tortured, but not for his sexuality. The most surprising thing to me about the book was the character of Sebastian, Charles’ best friend at Oxford and the tortured object of his tortured affections. ![]() |
