Synopsis of woman at point zero6/25/2023 Yet Sill’s work, as the general has been explaining to Wala Kitu, the professor, is not just a game. No-the latest zany masterpiece from the novelist Percival Everett-there have been all we would expect from a spy novel: pointless submarine chases, private flights to secret compounds in the Mediterranean, and sexually available women, including one with a comically literal name. Another is a professor of mathematics who studies the nature of zero, or “nothing.” The latter is feeling a bit in over his head he is starting to think maybe he wants, well, nothing to do with any of this.īy this point in Dr. One is a general, the commanding officer at Fort Knox. John Sill, a Black billionaire with a maniacal desire to be a Bond villain, has gathered his appropriately eclectic cast of accomplices. Not exactly a boxed lunch, but this is not your typical work meeting.

Valentine princess meg cabot6/25/2023 So she has some hilarious lines about Michael being the Brad to her Jennifer, and other references to "made-for-each-other" couples that weren't exactly made for each other.Definitely a must-read for all Princess Diaries fans. Remember, although this was published in 2006, it's supposed to take place roughly around 2002. Meg Cabot proves how hilarious she is by throwing in some ironic statements by Mia that are supposed to prove how much she and Michael are meant for each other. This was a short book, but I laughed throughout the entire thing, and I couldn't put it down. It's been a couple of years since I finished the series, and having Mia back in my life is wondrous. When reading the series, I opted to skip the companion books and read them later. Mia is freaking out because it's her first Valentine's Day as a couple with Michael, and she wants to do something special, but Michael isn't a fan of the "holiday," since he sees it as a way for companies to exploit money out of people.

A villain makes things easy one of the reasons World War II history remains so popular is that it has an archvillain in Hitler, a genuinely bad person pursuing a wicked agenda justifying himself with evil ideas and attitudes. A good narrative needs a protagonist - the answer to that shrewd editor's question, "Whose story is this?" - but it needs an antagonist as well. Narrative history is a tricky business, fitting all those recalcitrant facts into the form of communication human beings love best. China cry by nora lam6/24/2023 While short, the album makes adequate background material for other tasks, but falls short of the dynamism that would qualify it as interesting listening material rather than just atmosphere. FULL China Cry, The Nora Lam Story, Christianity During China's Cultural Revolution. Overall, it's a basically OK score, but nothing particularly special or original (except, perhaps, in the use of real live players rather than sampling keyboards). Much of the music is broken down into two thematic structures - "No One But You" ( Irene Cara turns in her usual sterling work on the vocal version) and "Spirit In the Wind," both of which are merged and crossed in various suites and cues. China Cry The story of Sung Neng Yee (Nora Lam) who calls out to God in her persecution and sees miracles happen. China Cry is the amazing true story of Nora Lam or Sung Neng Ye as she was called in China. The soundtrack album is fairly typical in that the music leans toward simple anthems as thematic material, building most of the score on straightforward Western musical ideas with sweeping strings, soaring brass fanfares and dynamic piano. China Cry is a Christian-oriented movie based on the survival story of Nora Lam, who fled Communist China after the government in power destroyed her family and her life. The undoing project sparknotes6/23/2023 One obvious implication of the work, therefore, is to think for yourself, and not just to know what you believe, but to honestly and skeptically scrutinize the belief system that led to those ideas. One of the main analytical take-aways of this principle from a moral point of view is that people should become more familiar with heuristics, or the study of their own motivation, because it's dangerous for people to feel deep loyalties to an ideology or belief when these things are true of our minds. The main idea is that people feel their motivation is one way, but scientific testing has shown that actually, humans are incredibly easy to influence. What does it mean that Michael Lewis picks these two dynamic scientists, Tversky and Kahneman? Well, firstly it means that the book is basically about the intersection of behavioral psychology and marketing.

She's pretty, a looker, hot stuff, smokin'… the play is full of references to just how sexy Yelena is, and it drives all the country folk wild. VOYNITSKY: But how lovely she is!

The lady in the lake by raymond chandler6/23/2023 Before he died, it seems, Felix Vodyanov was linked to a passenger ferry that sank in 1994, an even earlier U.S. But the hints of other crimes Tempe’s identification uncovers, particularly crimes against children, spur her on to redouble her efforts despite the new M.E.’s splenetic outbursts. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. Nettled by several errors in Heavner’s analysis, and even more by her willingness to share the gory details at a press conference, Tempe launches her own investigation, which is not so much off the books as against the books. Showboat Medical Examiner Margot Heavner makes it clear that, breaking with her department’s earlier practice ( The Bone Collection, 2016, etc.), she has no intention of calling in Tempe as a consultant and promptly identifies the faceless body herself as that of a young Asian man.
