![]() ![]() ![]() Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall make them afraid Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division. That we'll forever be tied together victorious. Let the globe, if nothing else say, this is true. We seek harm to none and harmony for all. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. To compose a country, committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man.Īnd so we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us We are striving to forge our union with purpose. ![]() ![]() We, the successors of a country and the time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one.Īnd yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that it isn't broken, but simply unfinished. We've learned that quiet isn't always peace.Īnd the norms and notions of what just is, isn't always justice.Īnd yet the dawn is ours before we knew it. When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never ending shade? Amanda Gorman's "The Hill We Climb" Poem Transcriptĭr. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The Last Thing He Told Me hums along at a steady pace, with twists that drop at regular intervals and reveals that dial up the craziness one notch at a time. The deeper they dig into who Owen really was and what he was really up to, the less the pieces seem to add up. This being a miniseries with seven hour-long episodes to fill, of course they’re right. By all appearances, he’s on the run from a federal investigation into an Enron-level fraud orchestrated by the tech firm he works for - and yet Bailey and Hannah cannot shake the suspicion that there’s more to his flight than meets the eye. On a day that starts out seeming like any other, Owen disappears, leaving no clues as to where he’s gone and only a few hints about what’s to come: a pair of cryptic notes to Hannah, now his wife of one year, and Bailey (Angourie Rice), his teenage daughter from a previous marriage, along with a fat bag of cash. ![]() Cast: Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice, Aisha Tyler, Augusto Aguilera, Geoff Stults, John Harlan Kimįaithfully adapted by Laura Dave and Josh Singer from Dave’s own bestselling novel, The Last Thing He Told Me begins with an irresistible mystery. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It gives a voice to people who tried to "transition" by changing their bodies, and found themselves no better off. This book exposes the contrast between the media's sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria. Drawing on the best insights from biology, psychology, and philosophy, Ryan Anderson offers a nuanced view of human embodiment, a balanced approach to public policy on gender identity, and a sober assessment of the human costs of getting human nature wrong. When Harry Became Sally provides thoughtful answers to questions arising from our transgender moment. Can a boy be "trapped" in a girl's body? Can modern medicine "reassign" sex? Is our sex "assigned" to us in the first place? What is the most loving response to a person experiencing a conflicted sense of gender? What should our law say on matters of "gender identity"? ![]() ![]() ![]() He and his wife, Edwina, were influential figures in London society in the 1920s, mixing with the royal family and Hollywood stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire. Mountbatten, who was born to the German Battenberg family, became one of the most trusted advisers to the royal family and was a mentor to Prince Charles. It’s an absolutely disgraceful interference by the government and Mr Lownie should be paid back his costs.” Lord David Owen, the former foreign secretary who has left his own archive of papers to Liverpool University, said: “This has been a grotesque abuse of public money. His legal team says a “conservative estimate” for the total legal costs for the Cabinet Office, university and the Information Commissioner’s Office is £300,000. ![]() Lownie’s legal costs for the case and an appeal hearing due to be heard next week are now at about £350,000. The Cabinet Office and the university are still fighting Lownie in an information tribunal over the material not yet released. Lownie, author of a 2019 biography of the Mountbattens, has successfully forced the release of the vast bulk of papers. ![]() The university initially blocked the release of the diaries and correspondence between the Mountbattens covering historical events from the abdication of Edward VIII to the independence of India, after seeking advice from the Cabinet Office. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I watched as the spoken words were written down to become like caged birds, caught forever by my clever baap. When I was a small girl, he would sometimes let me stand beside him. Often from the goodness of his heart Baap would write the letter for only a rupee or two. He sat all day in his marketplace stall hoping to make a few rupees by writing letters for those who did not know how to write their own. It will be no easy task, he said with a sigh. My baap, like all fathers with a daughter to marry off, had to find a dowry for me. I had known the day was coming, but the regret I saw in Maa’s eyes made me tremble. The day I left home, there would be a little more for everyone else. It’s one of my days to fast, she would say, as if it were a holy thing, but I knew it was because there was not enough food to go around. There were days when my maa took only a bit of rice for herself so that the rest of us-my baap, my brothers, and I-might have more. Koly, you are thirteen and growing every day, Maa said to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Featuring creatures found in the author?s native Ontario, this always sharp, sometimes head-scratchingly bizarre collection of comics offers a view into the secret, surprisingly insightful world of blue jays, squirrels, geese, wolves, and rabbits.

Deploying multiple appendices referring to other pertinent writings by Marx, Heinrich reveals what is relevant about Capital, and why we need to engage with it today. Suddenly, such seemingly gnarly chapters as “The Labor Process and the Valorization Process” and “Money or the Circulation of Capital” become refreshingly clear, as Heinrich explains just what we need to keep in mind when reading such a complex text. Paragraph by paragraph, Heinrich provides extensive commentary and lucid explanations of questions and quandaries that arise when encountering Marx’s original text. Until, that is, we pick up Michael Heinrich’s How to Read Marx’s ‘Capital’. ![]() Central concepts, such as abstract labor, the value-form, or the fetishism of commodities, can seem opaque to us as first-time readers, and the prospect of comprehending Marx’s thought can be truly daunting.

While Bede spent most of his life in the monastery, he travelled to several abbeys and monasteries across the British Isles, even visiting the archbishop of York and King Ceolwulf of Northumbria. Both of them survived a plague that struck in 686 and killed a majority of the population there. Bede ( / b iː d/ BEED Old English: Bǣda, Bēda 672/3 – 26 May 735), also known as Saint Bede, The Venerable Bede, and Bede the Venerable ( Latin: Beda Venerabilis), was an English monk at the monastery of St Peter and its companion monastery of St Paul in the Kingdom of Northumbria of the Angles (contemporarily Monkwearmouth–Jarrow Abbey in Tyne and Wear, England).īorn on lands belonging to the twin monastery of Monkwearmouth–Jarrow in present-day Tyne and Wear, Bede was sent to Monkwearmouth at the age of seven and later joined Abbot Ceolfrith at Jarrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister.
