And instead of being impressed that we’d been invited to one of Holt Calson’s infamous penthouse parties, she took one look at his beautiful high-rise and started searching for the nearest bus stop. She’s been mad fretful about lying to her crazy strict mom since I picked her up. Turns out, she really wants to hold on to our status as the biggest nerds at Beaumont even though we graduated last Sunday. She will keep you on task and encourage you until next thing you know, you’re staring down at a report card stuffed with A-pluses.īut partying? Yeah, so not one of her strong suits. And girl, if you want a study partner-Sylvie’s got you covered. I lived on campus full time, and Sylvie was a day student on full scholarship, and I never cared that she only got into Beaumont because her dad was one of the groundskeepers. After 14 years spent exclusively with narcissists and hustlers, there’s a reason I picked a sheltered Jamaican girl as my best friend during our first year at Beaumont, an exclusive Connecticut boarding school. With only the tiniest fraction of guilt, I pretend not to hear Sylvie call my name as I disappear into the crowd at Holt Calson’s party.

But even with these additions, we have only about 3 per cent of what she wrote. Then, around the turn of the 20th century, some scraps of papyrus from an ancient rubbish tip at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt turned out to contain fragments of poetry – including substantial chunks of Sophocles, Euripides and Sappho. Until the end of the 19th century, these two poems were practically all that was known from the work of the poet Plato called ‘the tenth Muse’. A few longish passages from other poems have been preserved in other authors: the most famous is Fragment 31 (‘He seems to me equal to gods’), quoted at length in On the Sublime. We have some tantalising scraps, single lines and short quotations, but only one complete poem – the ‘Ode to Aphrodite’ (Fragment 1), which is quoted by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Some time around the ninth century, Sappho’s nine books were irrecoverably lost. Moody was skeptical about reincarnation until undergoing hypnotherapy, during which he discovered that he had had nine past lives. seeing one’s life pass before one’s eyes and, he says, finding it all so wonderful that one doesn’t want to return to one’s body. He has compiled the list of features many consider typical of the near-death experience: a buzzing or ringing noise a sense of blissful peace a feeling of floating out of one’s body and observing it from above moving through a tunnel into a bright light meeting dead people, saints, Christ, angels, etc. Moody is a parapsychologist with a medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia and doctorate degrees in philosophy and psychology from the University of Virginia. His other books include Reunions, the result of research into facilitating the apparitions of deceased family and friends as a way to help people recover from grief, The Light Beyond, and Life After Loss. He is author of the groundbreaking book Life After Life. Moody, Jr., MD, PhD, researcher and teacher, has studied near-death exeriences for almost 50 years and continues to research methods for the rational investigation of life after death. In a journey spanning two decades in journalism, it was a year-long Knight fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology early on in Seema Singh's career that brought her the realization that science and its handmaiden, technology-driven stories are the coolest ones. In Mythbreaker, author Seema Singh brings alive Mazumdar-Shaw’s three-decade journey through a motley cast of characters - scientists, ministries, pharma rivals, FMCG giants - who came together to produce a narrative that is remarkable for its randomness, luck and relentless pursuit of the next scientific breakthrough. To some extent, she has also plugged the brain drain of Indian scientists, making them collaborators in the fight against diabetes and cancer, and creating a space for research in India. Without a supportive academic ecosystem for biotechnology and in the absence of sound policymaking, Mazumdar-Shaw has tirelessly sought out global alliances and resources in her quest for ideas and molecules. And the accidental entrepreneur, Mazumdar-Shaw, is today a tough negotiator and a habitual dealmaker, casually breaking several myths about Indian women in business. Thirty-seven years on, Biocon is India’s largest research-driven biotech enterprise. Armed with just a degree in beer making, this move to industrial enzymes and commodity small molecules was as audacious as it was far-sighted. At the age of twenty-five, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw partnered with an Irish entrepreneur, Leslie Auchincloss, to start Biocon India in a garage in Bengaluru. She offers not mere self-promotion, but an opportunity to change the world for the better while giving you the ultimate job insurance.

To make a name for yourself, you have to capitalize on your unique perspective and knowledge and inspire others to listen and take action. Too many people believe that if they keep their heads down and work hard, they will be lauded as experts on the merits of their work. A guide to becoming a recognized expert in your field. The King/Queen, as the ruler of our own inner world, represents the 'ordering of the realm', choosing what will/will not be in your personal domain. The King (Sol) and the Queen (Luna) are the masculine and feminine personifications of the archetype of the Self which represents the sovereign energy of the psyche, the transpersonal aspect, or higher self. The Conjunctio is the union or ‘sacred marriage’ of solar and lunar energies necessary to move from a lesser to a higher state of being as symbolized by the alchemical process of turning lead into gold. In the individuation journey to wholeness, the Sun King (Solar or Yang energy) and Moon Queen (Lunar or Yin energy) have to be recognized as archetypal polarities within the soul. Jung used symbolism from the alchemical text Rosarium Philosophorum to demonstrate the transformative process of reconciliation of opposites. “Just as all energy proceeds from opposition, so the psyche too possesses its inner polarity, this being the indispensable prerequisite for its aliveness, as Heraclitus realized long ago” (Jung, 1965, p 346). Warm and inviting, this buoyant tale is hopping good fun. The background surroundings seamlessly blend, maintaining focus on the central characters, and soft curves convey maternal love as Joey's mother supports his maturity. Rich colors, mostly in orangey-browns, golden yellows and rustic greens, evoke an earthy atmosphere. Here are some activities and visuals to support comprehension. The bold, white hand-lettered dialogue predominately placed against the vignettes expresses the toddler's fledgling growth. Leaves is a delightful book about an adorable young bear learning about the seasons of fall, winter and spring. Succinct phrases maintain playful pacing and provide a fluid read-aloud. Punchy dialogue zings during the kangaroo's brief interactions, and repetition successfully accelerates the story. When Joey meets another joey, though, he gains courage with his newfound friend. With a few hops, Joey greets each creature he meets with a forceful, "who are you?" Their one-word responses alarm him Joey quickly cries "Pouch!" as he returns to his mother's side. Ready, more or less, to venture forth from his mama's pouch, this tenacious tyke now explores the world around him. "With each vivacious bounce, a baby kangaroo seeks independence-bit by bit.

For the completionist’s sake, we’re also including sequels like 102 Dalmatians in this list, and well as movies whose stories haven’t necessarily been told before, but which re-purpose old animated characters, like Christopher Robin. We’ve seen critical hits ( Cinderella), box office bonanzas ( The Jungle Book), and even a dud or two according to the Tomatometer ( Dumbo).

Mary’s an unlikable heroine, obsessed with Travis (with whom she spends an oddly sexless interlude in a barricaded house) even as everything she knows is destroyed. Fences fall before the onslaught of this super-powered zombie and Mary finds herself one of only six survivors, desperately searching for safe haven. When a visitor arrives from another village, the ascetic Sisterhood who control every aspect of village life secretly imprison the visitor, then (inexplicably) turn her into a super-fast Unconsecrated and set her loose among the rest. Her miserable village life won’t last much longer, though. Penned in by fences keeping out most of the flesh-eating Unconsecrated, destined to marry the brother of her beloved Travis, Mary dreams of the ocean her mother’s told her of. In this overly introspective zombie tale, Mary despises her circumscribed life. It’s been generations since the zombie apocalypse, and the people of Mary’s village know they are the only living people left. |
