Prince of Persuasion by Scarlett Scott6/12/2023 Like many authors, writing is something that she has been doing for years. Scott loves to call herself a farm girl at heart as she loves traveling, gardening, and anything to do with the outdoors whenever she is not writing or reading. Scarlet also loves to engage with her readers through the newsletter on her website. When she is not writing her novels, she can often be found wrangling her children, reading, writing, and indulging in an inappropriate sense of humor. She currently divides her time between Pennsylvania and Maryland, where she lives with her Canadian husband, two spoiled dogs, and adorable identical twins. She is a self-professed nerd and literary junkie loves reading anything from Middle English verse, to poetry, and romance novels. Scarlett Scott is a USA TODAY bestselling author of steamy Regency and Victorian historical romances that come with sexy alpha heroes and intelligent and strong heroines. Rats saw god6/12/2023 When I combine the look with a doo rag, I'm a regular pirate." As with his other novels- Doing Time and Slave Day-Thomas proves his thorough grasp of young adult issues and emotions. With Steve, author Rob Thomas has taken a teenage outsider and given him a funny, intelligent voice: "There are those males who merely fill ear holes with tiny studs hardly big enough to offend a Marine. No matter where the finger of blame ends up pointing, it's a wild ride of self-enlightenment as Steve discovers that not all relationships are permanent, and that some-like the one with his dad-can be mended with a little work. Or it could be because his "heart had been run through frappé, puree, and liquefy on a love blender" by his ex-girlfriend, Wanda "Dub" Varner. Maybe it was when he discovered that he really couldn't relate to his father, the Famous Astronaut. What sounds like a run-of-the-mill writing assignment, however, becomes an excuse for Steve to reflect on the last four years (from Texas freshman to California senior), and figure out where it all went wrong. In order to pass English class and graduate, 18-year-old Steve York has to write a 100- page essay about his life. Lombard street bagehot6/11/2023 18th-century map of the area.ġ829, the General Post Office was located here and in 1691, Edward Lloyd moved After the expulsion of the Jews, the Lombards (mostly merchants from Genoa, Lucca, Florence, and Venice) were invited by Edward the 1 st to provide banking services and given land in the vicinity of this street, which was thus named. The name, which most likely is also linked to that of the Ward of Langbourne, dates to the 1300s. Cornhill, Lombard Street and King William Street, looking east, 1837.

Originally a “gently meandering”, narrow street it leads from the Mansion House towards Gracechurch Street where it overlays an ancient Roman road that continues into Fenchurch Street). Lombard Street (and Cornhill) looking east before 19th-century changes in the street plan. Up to the 1960s, many major banks were still headquartered there. Bagehot wrote that “ The briefest and truest way of describing Lombard Street is to say that it is by far the greatest combination of economical power and economical delicacy that the world has ever seen.” A Bankers Almanac of 1895 counts no fewer that 27 separate banking institutions with offices registered at Lombard Street. Lombard Street is perhaps the single most iconic address in the City of London, synonymous with banking and providing the title for Walter Bagehot’s seminal 1873 work on the money market.

Keeper of the lost cities lodestar6/11/2023 These kind of attributes are what I look for in middle grade, young YA fantasy and this series continually delivers. I love the fierce friendships and loyalty to themselves. You feel the struggles of 14/15 year-old’s who have way too much on their plates, but also the love and support from parents and caregivers around them. I LOVE that these are written so well for this age group, and yet appeal to older audiences too. I don’t know why I haven’t swung back around to moving through these books but with a new one out soon I want to get caught up! This is definitely a new favorite of this series.

Remy katy evans6/11/2023 I’m still wearing a knee brace when I run due to a previously torn ACL, but I truly don’t feel like I need it anymore. “Ouuuuuuch,” I cry as loudly as I can, stopping and bending over to rub my knee. But he’s a natural born protector and I know my man down to a T. His body is made for running, fighting, and MORE. He’s a trained fighter who not only fights like a beast unleashed, he trains like one too. It’s not easy to catch up with my husband. He chuckles because that easy move-blinding me-gives the devil a head start, and it takes me a moment to shake the hood back and start running, pumping my arms to catch up with him.

Once Upon a Time by Hungarian folk6/10/2023 But RCDs only grant exclusive rights for a limited period, up to 25 years from the filing date. They succeeded in obtaining a European community design (the so-called "RCD") for the whole of the European Union in 2007 2. Given the new and individual shape of the Gömböc, the creators clearly needed to obtain design protection. This ultimately led to a lengthy and turbulent procedure that even reached the European Court of Justice and was recently decided by the Supreme Court of Hungary (Curia). It is possible to balance the body in this position, but the slightest disturbance makes it fall.Īs with any other invention, the creators of the Gömböc have sought to give it the fullest possible industrial property protection. The Gömböc also has one unstable equilibrium. The Gömböc always returns to its single stable equilibrium point no matter how you put it down, without using any weights. They developed the first convex, homogeneous, mono-monostatic object, which they named the "Gömböc" after the famous Hungarian folk character. Once upon a time, two eminent Hungarian scientists made a mathematical breakthrough. "Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro. Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, "is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type." And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of The Guardian, "lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds." Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town her weakling husband and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender center of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find music, cosmology, fascism. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumors. The Melancholy of Resistance, László Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. Knowledge that is not discovered is simply information. This withholding, which is one element of narrative tension, is what enables a feeling of discovery when the reader arrives at a disclosure of knowledge. A powerful, surreal novel, in the tradition of Gogol, about the chaotic events surrounding the arrival of a circus in a small Hungarian town.
