![]() ![]() I travell’d on, seeing the hill, where lay So to celebrate the first of them here is R. Once again thanks are due to Lancia Smith for the image which accompanies this week’s poems. ![]() We should see Sundays as little islands of vision in the midst of Lent, or perhaps as little oases or pools of reflection and refreshment on our Lenten Journey and that is how I shall treat them in this anthology. But first we have a poem for the first Sunday in Lent. Properly speaking, all Sundays are exceptions to Lent, for every Sunday is a commemoration of the first day of the week, the day of resurrection, and so really part of Easter. We will reflect on maps and mapping, on how outer journeys and inner ones are linked, on what it is we learn from the landscapes through which we walk. In this first week in Lent Word in the Wilderness introduces poems about pilgrimage itself and our life as pilgrimage. I am continuing, each Sunday in Lent, to post the poems for the coming week, from My Word in the Wilderness anthology, for those who are following that. ![]()

When she disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally forget her and move on.įeeling disconnected from her work and increasingly unhappy, she’s trying to find her way back to something real. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon: social media influencer Evelyn St. So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is … confused. But Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He’s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he’s officially a man distracted.

Her works generally fall into one of several categories of genre fiction, including historical murder mysteries and detective fiction. Her first novel, The Cater Street Hangman, was published under this name in 1979. She changed her name to "Anne Perry" after serving a five-year sentence. ![]() In 1954, at the age of fifteen, she was convicted of participating in the murder of her friend's mother. Anne Perry (born Juliet Hulme) was an English author of historical detective fiction, best known for her Thomas Pitt and William Monk series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A life where the threat of Ares’ influence upon the world of Man spurred her to leave her home, never to return. A life where she was the sole child on the island home of The Amazons, and thus the daughter of all as well as their princess. Yet Diana has memories-half-formed dreams that speak to her of another life.Ī life where she was forged of the clay of Themyscira and a mother’s wish, with life breathed into her by the goddesses and blessings bestowed upon her that made her more powerful than any other Amazon. That she was merely the latest in a long line of demigods spawned to protect humanity from the evils of the world. That her powers came from her status as a daughter of Zeus. That she was one daughter among many on Themyscira. That is the truth as Diana has always understood it. Trained by Ares in the art of war at a young age, Diana would go on to become The God of War herself. Born of a tryst between the God-King Zeus and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, Diana of Themyscira was marked from birth with the power of the divine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This can be expressed by the RAP index, which is based on the correlation between the amplitude of the ICP pulse wave and mean ICP. Intracranial compliance is the ability to compensate for increases in intracranial volume, i.e., cerebrospinal compensatory reserve. Children have several anatomical and physiological differences compared with adults, e.g., regarding optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) levels, cerebrovascular pressure reactivity, and intracranial compliance. It is important to gain more knowledge about the intracranial pressure dynamics in pediatric TBI when BCT is used. In a recent study we found that high-dose BCT in children with RICH was effective without causing unacceptable concomitant side effects and that the long-term clinical outcome was relatively favorable. ![]() In children BCT is not as well established as in adults. Barbiturate coma treatment (BCT) of refractory intracranial hypertension (RICH) is an established treatment option in adult TBI patients. TBI is also common in children who require particular concern in many respects. Despite modern neurointensive care (NIC), traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a worldwide cause of mortality and morbidity, and treatment strategies remain challenging. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Where competing hypotheses exist he picks one and runs with it, rather than detailing the academic debates and different schools of thought. What that means is that, though everything is grounded in fact, Halliday does not get lost in the details*. ![]() Stylistically, Otherlands is a narrative non-fiction book. Far more interesting are the little-known eras and places such as the Italian promontory of Gargano during the Miocene Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.3 mya), the sweltering warmth of Seymour Island in Antarctica during the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (41 mya), or the underwater life around the Silurian Yaman-Kasy vent in Russia (435 mya). Halliday includes well-known sites such as end-Cretaceous Hell Creek (66 million years ago, or mya) and the Carboniferous world of Mazon Creek (309 mya) or Lagerstätten (sites of exceptional fossil preservation) such as the Cambrian Chengjiang biota in China (520 mya) and the Australian Ediacara Hills during the Ediacaran (550 mya). ![]() The 16 chapters in Otherlands, each accompanied by a gorgeous illustration from Beth Zaiken, step back in time by millions or even tens of millions of years to visit a place on Earth and describe its ecosystems and organisms.

Will knows something fishy is happening, too-it isn't just us. Then Will is given a horse, which takes him to a random set of doors in the woods. Will's hungry but he's also suspicious, so he doesn't take it. Before long, a mysterious woman comes up to him and offers him bread. There's no time to sort this out, though, because Will notices snow outside, and lots of it, too, so he starts playing outside. ![]() When he wakes up, though, something weird has happened: Will can see all of his family members… but they can't see or hear him. He goes about his daily chores on the farm and then goes to bed, hoping for snow. You'd think the fact that his birthday is right around the corner would make him happy, but the guy's annoyed-all he wants for his birthday is for it to snow, and he's pretty sure that won't happen. It's the most wonderful time of the year. ![]() ![]() ![]() The native Californian says, “My grandparents were immigrants and they always made art a focus in our family growing up”. The heart of Spirits of French Lick is the energetic, copper-haired Jolee.

It seems that everyone had plans, hopes and dreams that were delayed, down-sized or otherwise destroyed last year. ![]() But on that good side…2020 was the Year of Spirits of French Lick. It was a year marked by a worldwide pandemic, economic upheaval, riots in American cities and extraordinary political divisiveness. The year 2020 will be chiseled in our memories for many things few of them good. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first book was wacky and weird as hell. This is supposed to be a 6-book series and I’m now waiting for the last 2. I ended up reading all 4 of the books released. Why not add to it? So I read the first one. I was on a book slump and I’ve read my share of screwed up books. It focuses mostly on its paranormal plot. There isn’t even one sex scene in the first book. But she said something that intrigued me – This series is not an erotica. So when a friend whose recommendations I trust in told me to read this series, I was not on board. I got to know about the genre of Reverse Harem first when I saw a lot of people on my Goodreads rave about the series Curse of the Goddess. Nobody can ever convince me to read that. But there are genres even I’m on the fence about. You should know that I’m pretty indiscriminate about the books and genres I read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods-a powerful family in the Colonies-and the servitude he's known at their hands.
