Clown crime princes often use deadly laughing gas, and the Green Goblin’s serum can literally turn people into super criminals, giving them enhanced powers and masking their minds with magical powers. The effect of the goblin serum alone was much lower than the Joker’s usual calling card. Fortunately, the baby was eventually revealed to be Harry’s, not Norman’s, and Spider-Man was able to cure her leprechaun’s illness for Lily, despite the events that had haunted her for so long. Menace then allied with Norman, who attempted to fertilize her with his offspring to create more spawning elves.

The eagerly awaited sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Way of Kings. Sanderson said that the book in hardcover would be 1088 pages the maximum printable size of a book for his publisher, Tor. However, the name was changed after the editor commented "Uh, are you sure you want to name a very long, very thick fantasy book The Book of Endless Pages?" Initially, Sanderson planned that this volume would be named after the tome Shallan is given at the end of the first volume (i.e., The Book of Endless Pages). Additionally, Interludes from the points of view of Ym and Lift are included herein. Interludes from the points of view of Taln, Taravangian, Eshonai and Rysn were confirmed by Sanderson prior to the novel's release. However, in this volume, the focal character is Shallan. ![]() With this volume, the epic continues the story of Kaladin from the first volume, The Way of Kings.

My conclusion: there are a couple strong points to the idea of a more egalitarian Neolithic society that had possible elements of a religion involving numerous goddesses. Gimbutas is a highly controversial figure in archaeology, and I tried to wade a bit into the debate around her by reading a number of articles, to better weigh Eisler's argument. ![]() The first half is in large part a summary and popularizing of the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, who argues that before the spread of Indo-European civilization there existed a matrifocal, peaceful, egalitarian society, that practiced a predominately female-oriented polytheism that also involved a single Goddess figure. I read it because I know a number of people who claim this book fundamentally shaped their worldview (and a number of others who don't make that claim, but are certainly influenced by the popularity of Eisler's ideas). Three stars because it was a pretty interesting read, and she covers, well, all of human history. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “I’m unbearable.”īut she doesn’t come across as annoying or unbearable, just inquisitive. “And then when we landed, I was like, ‘You guys know that it was the first Greek outpost in France?” Kuang laughed.

![]() ![]() Therefore, I will examine other approaches that I find more suitable I will look into Weingarten’s human Interconnectedness views about hope and ‘doing hope’, as a key to understand the emergence of the It Gets Better movement and its role in mobilizing the LGBTQ+ community to help the young generation to vision hope, future, life. It should be linked into a broader context of family, community, and nation. I believe that in order to understand these tragic fatalities of suicide, it is not enough to examine hope on the individual level. I will question Snyder’s (and group) Hope Theory in relation to the social negative conditions experienced by LGBTQ+ youth at that time and today. I will analyze Seligman’s learned helplessness and aversive stimuli concepts (Maier & Seligman, 1976) in regard to the community in concern. In this paper, I will briefly tell the story of the It Gets Better movement and their hope campaign as a response to the eleven teen suicides in the Fall of 2010. The It Gets Better movement – led by Dan Savage, an author, columnist, and a journalist – emerged in the United States in late 2010 as an attempt to bring the LGBTQ+ adolescents’ suicide ‘epidemic’ taking place in the social media to an immediate halt. ![]() ![]() The creative team behind "Crazy Rich Asians" is set to return for "China Rich Girlfriend," with Jon M.

It also helps that, even though he manipulates Prudence with more deliberate, elaborate intent than John from The Marriage Bed, Rhys is also a lot more accessible and human than John, and I can tell from the start that his fall is inevitable, if not imminent. ![]() He’s a consummate actor and crafty plotter, so I was more impressed by his evil skills than scandalized. ![]() ![]() One part fascinating, two parts horrible - not out of any moral sensibilities outraged by the hero's blatantly devious machinations. A right sneaky bastard, no? The first half of the book - the wooing part - was kind of like watching a train wreck for me. He takes advantage of her and encourages her love, all the while keeping his own heart inviolate. Cyres, impoverished and debt-ridden, pursues Prudence Bosworth, a former working girl turned million dollar heiress. In effect, Rhys de Winter, the Duke of St. The Wicked Ways of a Duke returns to familiar territory for Guhrke - at least for a long while it seemed a lot like The Marriage Bed to me - only here we get to see the whole sad story of betrayed love and lost innocence enacted before our very eyes, rather than having it considered in retrospect as the characters recover from the lies ten years down the road in an attempt at reconciliation. ![]() ![]() ![]() One showed that using a weighted hula hoop every day for six weeks helped reduce waist size, while another compared a group of people who used a weighted hula hoop daily and walked 9.9k steps a day, to a group of people who only walked the 9.9k steps. Studies have also proven there to be benefits. ![]() In one video, a TikTokker explained how a weighted hula hoop had toned her waist more than any other waist exercises, and while I’ve never exercised for aesthetic reasons, I couldn’t help but wonder whether something that is essentially an adult toy could really yield results. When I came across the nascent weighted hula hoop trend on my ‘For You’ page, however, my interest piqued. As I’m sure you all know, TikTok, or more specifically, FitTok, is full of fitness trends – there’s the 12-3-30 workout, the Stairmaster challenges, and all the walking workouts, but I’m not one to buy into them. Of all the things TikTok has made me buy over the years, a weighted hula hoop is probably the most unexpected. ![]() |
