Book on sackler6/10/2023 As Stat describes, in the late 1980s Sackler, who was then assistant to his father, the president of Purdue Pharma, concocted a scheme by which to circumvent the company's bestselling opioid painkiller, MS Contin, going off-patent. According to The New Yorker, Arthur passed on the belief to the younger Sacklers that they should "Leave the world a better place than when you entered it." In the second half of the 20th century, the Sackler name became synonymous with philanthropy and patronage of the arts, while they expanded their wealth to become one of the richest families in America.īut the actions of Richard Sackler would see the family rebranded in the 21st century as "the family that built an empire on pain," per The New Yorker. Both were doctors, and the two shared options in the company with their older brother, Arthur, a psychiatrist. Sacker's father, Raymond, bought Purdue Pharma in 1952, along with his brother, Mortimer. Ender in exile6/10/2023 Anyway, Ender in Exile mostly focuses on Ender as he deals with the impact of what happened in Ender’s Game while journeying to become the governor of the first human colony outside of our solar system. Technically, most of the book happens between two paragraphs in chapter 15 of Ender’s Game, but that’s a fairly meaningless distinction. So I picked up a copy of Ender in Exile at the library and read it in two days.Įnder in Exile takes place after the majority of the action in Ender’s Game. In particular, I’d heard that it would tie up one of the loose ends from the Shadow series, and that sounded great. When I heard about a book that functioned as a direct sequel to Ender’s Game, I thought that sounded pretty cool. You can find his other posts on the Ender’s Game series here. Editor’s Note: This is the ninth in Stephen Olson’s series of posts reviewing, contemplating, considering, and discussing Orson Scott Card’s award winning Ender’s Game novels.

Persepolis 26/9/2023 Premiering at Cannes on (and released in the U.K. Telling an Autobiographical Story Through the Animated Documentary Genre Waltz with Bashir was banned in Lebanon, though not in Beirut’s Hamra district. The Iranian state-run Farabi Foundation, for example, protested to the French Embassy in Tehran over the screening of Persepolis at the Cannes Film Festival. They narrate images of the Middle East while arousing political debate over their complex representations of Palestinian and Arab culture. Staging encounters with the historical real, Persepolis and Waltz with Bashir engage spectators through their status as animated memoirs of sorts. In both films, animation is made to bear the weight of social reality, with its images not simply loaded with claims to the real but anchored to stark memories of national trauma. Released almost exactly a year apart and both premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud, 2007) and Waltz with Bashir (Ari Folman, 2008) both exploited the animated medium’s expressive potential to ‘work through’ and provide access to an objective historical truth that remains frustratingly unobtainable. The horrible bear6/9/2023 The horrible bear shot doesn’t affect the bear’s vital organs because they are positioned more toward the center of their body. Settling then chest pain goes worse from the region of heart and lungs and the bear loses low blood trails that are not good.īelow given images openly share the locations of vital organs that are also important to know before. Many hunters use the near legs and shoulders as the reference point which is their first big fault. Many hunters try to harvest the organs in the same way as the deer whitetail but there is a need to consider that the vital location is imperatively different and worse off. Hunting the bear species is uniquely different and its main reason is its dark color. Bear Hunting Shot Placements (Vital Locations & Other Parameter) Besides the helpful guidance, you will also know the best broadheads used for harvesting the bear. If you are a recurve bow user and hopeful for the first bear hunt then this is all that you need to consider with placements on any big or small bear. Hunting the black bear is really a big challenge especially when you are in the big bear species. Mousetraps by Pat Schmatz6/9/2023 Bill Hauser's cartoon drawings show how Maxie deals with life through her art, revealing her immaturity and general naivete about life. Unfortunately, this weighs down the story and interrupts the narrative flow to the extent that subplots take on more importance and interest than the primary story of Maxie and Rick. Though the primary theme of the book is supposed to be bullying, author Pat Schmatz attempts to include most of the major issues of modern young adult literature: drug use, truancy, homosexuality, homophobia, school violence, domestic violence, friendship, romance, racism, biracial kids, adoption, and middle class privilege. Suddenly Maxie is dealing with old feelings of guilt, and the pull of the past prevents her from navigating the maze of the very complicated present. until Rick shows up in her eleventh grade chemistry class.

Her artistic skills brought his clever inventions to life, and his specialty was mousetraps. Maxie Hawke was once best friends with Roderick Nash, back when he was Roddy, the target of school bullies. But in other waysfrightening oneshe's very, very different. In some ways he's the same person she once knew. Years later, he shows up at Maxie's high school. Then something terrible happened to Rick, and he vanished from her school and her life. Rick would design crazy inventions, and Maxie, the artistic one, would draw them. Back in grade school, Maxie and Rick were best friends. Doctor Who by Jonathan Blum6/8/2023 While it's only open Memorial Day through October, it serves as a valuable touchpoint for consumers to interact with the brand and for Bad Martha to get feedback, said Blum. The barn, which was built in an Amish community in Pennsylvania before being transported and raised on the island, quickly became one of the leading tourist locations on Martha's Vineyard with 75,000 to 100,000 visitors last summer. It gives beer lovers a place to sample Bad Martha brews in a relaxed environment. To better showcase the beer to the island's many visitors, Blum built Bad Martha Farmer's Brewery and Tasting Room, a barnyard brewhouse with a seven-barrel brewing system. "I'm going from fast food, which is more processed and is a global business, to slow beer, which is handcrafted and just the absolute opposite of the fast-food concept," said Blum. In every batch, it uses wild grape leaves that grow on the island, and whenever possible locally farmed ingredients. The brand tries to stay true to its roots, although most of Bad Martha beer is contract-brewed in Ipswich. The homage to Martha's Vineyard begins with the brewery's name itself, which refers to an island legend involving a ship captain looking to brew beer for his crew and a mermaid named Martha. With this beautiful hybrid text, Willis Barnstone illuminates and exalts this love in transformational ardor. Habibi, Maestro Willis, I salute you again!"-Khaled Mattawa, "English and French may not, as Wallace Stevens once averred, 'constitute a single language,' but they are without doubt two languages madly in love. Resonant with the poet's passion for a great city, Barnstone's Cafe de l'Aube a Paris tests the veracity of memory with facts of the poet's time in two languages, and he, in turn arrives at dual, inseparable truths, united by his generous heart's reason and harmonized with diverse rhymes. With this remarkable, moving, highly entertaining, and utterly unique self-translation, we now have further proof that Barnstone ranks high among the wizards of song.
