Victoria-based author Erin Frances Fisher is a writer’s writer. With imagery that would make a poet jealous, characters rich enough to sustain entire novels, and dialogue that communicates a lot in few words, Fisher constructs stories so intricate they threaten to put her less committed readers to sleep. That Tiny Life is gorgeous and slow, memorable if you can summon the will to get through it.
Fisher has an expansive vision of what a short story can contain and the wealth of research and imagination to explore that vision fully. While she prefers first-person narration, her settings and subjects range from revolutionary France to a resource-extraction outpost on Saturn’s largest moon.
In “Valley Floor,” an Old West surgeon amputates a man’s leg in the middle of the desert. The story is short enough that Fisher’s attention to detail – her inventory of the surgeon’s tools, her all-too-plausible description of “the wet rasp of sawed bone” – enriches the action without getting in its way. In longer stories, the pacing is encumbered by the author’s overabundant research. “Argentavis Magnificens,” which features two paleontologists trying to convince a headstrong oil baron to finance a dig in the Andes, has passages so dense with technical jargon they’re almost incomprehensible.
Though not much actually happens in many of these stories, the stories take place at such pivotal moments that every small development is consequential. In “The White,” the novella that rounds out the collection, a character learns that the decades he’s spent selectively breeding gyrfalcons have begotten an immaculate white bird that can barely fly. Like a lot of Fisher’s characters, he tried in vain to decouple creation from destruction – it “took him a lifetime to breed out the brain.”
The collection’s central theme is the nature of progress. Is it linear or cyclical? Is the evolution of life (individual and societal) a story of improvement or just change? To address these questions, some of Fisher’s stories need to be slow. The aptly titled “Da Capo al Fine” is a long letter written by an 18th-century craftsman recounting how he went from detailing instruments for the royal court to helping Charles-Henri Sanson, the infamous executioner of France, perfect the guillotine. As the narrator minutely describes the action mechanism of a fortepiano, one can’t help but reflect on the baroque meticulousness that diminished as the world lurched violently toward industrialization and mass production.
Fisher is better at setting a scene than setting it into motion, but this is less a failure than a matter of preference. That Tiny Life will appeal most to readers who seek complexity over action.
That Time I Loved You, the debut collection by Toronto-based Carrianne Leung (author of the novel The Wondrous Woo), features better pacing but less nuance. In 10 linked stories – all set in a seemingly idyllic 1970s subdivision in Scarborough – Leung explores what lurks “on the other side of doors, behind the friendly faces, underneath the polite chatter across the fences.” The families in these stories come from a variety of racial and class backgrounds, but they share a dissatisfaction with suburban life that surfaces when several parents kill themselves in a short span of time. June, a precocious Chinese-Canadian adolescent, narrates several of the stories; the rest are third-person narratives, each focusing on a different neighbourhood resident.
Suburban ennui, Leung’s preoccupation here, is timeless and true but also common enough that any new book-length treatment must take extraordinary measures to sustain intrigue. Leung’s writing is funny and unadorned, many of the characters are interesting, and the stories are peppered with Easter eggs for fans of late 20th-century Canadiana. The plot developments, however, are circumscribed by a paradigm that invariably sees unhealthy behaviour as the product of a predictable range of circumstances: a schoolyard bully is abused at home by his alcoholic father; a young woman pushed to marry stumbles into infidelity; the subdivision’s unofficial matriarch, a generous and eminently practical person, gets a rush from stealing useless objects.
In “Things,” a Black student is unfairly accused of cheating by his racist teacher, and a memory flashes into his mind of something his mother told him: “When you grow up … it won’t happen slowly, like it does for other kids. It will happen all at once. On that day you will change, and you will remember that day, that moment, for the rest of your life.” Nothing about this passage is unbelievable, but its interjection into the climax of the narrative reflects a heavy-handedness that plagues the entire collection.
Leung’s attention to the ways unjust socio-political realities determine people’s identities is commendable, however a lack of subtlety in her approach makes it difficult to become fully immersed in the stories. That Time I Loved You ultimately feels more like a collection of pathological case studies.

Item #: G-9928
Eng. tr. Constance Bache, 1846–1903; adapt. and additional text Doreen Rao
Taken from a collection of medieval folktales, the Hansel and Gretel libretto was based on an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. The story features two quick-witted and capable children—a brother and sister who face many difficult times, including hunger and abandonment. Looking for food to eat, the children get lost in the forest and wake up only to meet more danger in disguise. In the happy ending, Hansel and Gretel are found in the forest by their parents. All together, they sing thanks and praise, expressing joy and gratitude for their good fortune. The ancient story of Hansel and Gretel is a fairy tale with true relevance in the world today.

Wombwell Rainbow Interviews
I am honoured and privileged that the following writers local, national and international have agreed to be interviewed by me. I gave the writers two options: an emailed list of questions or a more fluid interview via messenger.
The usual ground is covered about motivation, daily routines and work ethic, but some surprises too. Some of these poets you may know, others may be new to you. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.
Dr Steve Nash
is a writer, lecturer, and musician from Yorkshire. He won the 2014 Saboteur Award for Best Spoken Word Performer from a shortlist that included Kate Tempest and Hollie McNish, and his first collection, Taking the Long Way Home, is available from Stairwell Books.

1. What inspired you to write poetry?
Originally I think it was something I got interested in at school and it never really left me. Even when I got a little older and started writing music, it’s clear looking back that the lyrics were all part of that same interest in words and what they have the potential to do.
2. Who introduced you to poetry?
I don’t know if this was the first person to introduce me to it, but a school teacher I had made a massive dramatic deal out of poetry. We were given very special notebooks that we were only allowed to write in once a month. We had to plan and draft, and edit a poem – one poem per month – and then once it was absolutely finished, we were allowed to write them up as neatly as possible into the notebook (and even then, only in pencil in case we made a mistake). It’s strange because now I find all the pompousness that can be ascribed to such things really off-putting, but it certainly had the desired effect on my wee young brain.
3. How aware were you of the dominating presence of older poets?
I’m not sure I was ever aware of a dominating presence. I did have a habit of seeing their names just as names though. Like they were something mythological and not real people. I have continually been staggered by the down-to-earth nature of the vast majority of established poets I’ve met, and their willingness to give advice, even to hyperactive weirdo like me.
4. What is your daily writing routine?
Due to the rather chaotic nature of my work life, there’s no real opportunity to designate any kind of routine in terms of setting aside a particular time to write. I try to make sure I’ve always got a couple of projects on the go though, so I have somewhere to focus my energies while I’m wandering around, and I always have a notebook with me. So, I guess, rather than a routine, it’s a sustained attempt to keep open to any ideas or sparks that might whip by.
5. What motivates you to write?
This is something I’ve often wondered myself. There are extreme moments that come along in life that of course give you the urge to reach for a pen to, in some small way, respond to or manage the emotions or concerns that are shaken up. Honestly though, it is just something I have always done, for as long as I can remember. I wrote terrible stories that I’d make my older sisters or my parents read when I was a child, and it’s an urge that has morphed over the years but never really gone away. At present I’m writing because I’m lucky enough to have a couple of places want to publish more collections of my work, so I’m highly motivated to get some shiny new stuff ready for those.
6. What is your work ethic?
My work ethic is to push myself to try to write something every day, even if it’s not an actual poem, story, or contribution to a larger narrative. Sometimes it can be lists, sometimes gibberish, but something. These little word doodles, or broken bits of lines help to keep me focused on those projects so they don’t fall too far into the distance, and I’ll often find they can provide me with answers when I’m struggling to complete a line or paragraph elsewhere.
7. How do the writers you read when you were young influence you today?
Probably more acutely than I realise. I remember we had an enormous collection of the old Point Horror novels when I was young, and I thought they were the coolest thing in the world. I remember being looked at as a bit of a weirdo by some kids at school because I was always reading about vampires, ghosts, murderers, and werewolves, but I do now still get described as being slightly obsessed with the macabre and horror themes. In addition to that some of my favourite poems and stories from when I was really young would still be in my list of favourite books now. ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go’ by Dr Seuss is still in my mind an absolute tour de force of a poem, and stories like ‘Not Now Bernard’ or ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ still seem to me remarkable works of imagination.
8. Who of today’s writers do you admire the most and why?
There are so many that I almost don’t want to answer for fear of the inevitable leaving someone out. That being said, Helen Mort is a writer who repeatedly and consistently breaks me with her ability to craft words and stories in startling but grounded ways. I cannot wait to read her debut novel. I’m currently reading Zaffar Kunial’s ‘Us’ and it really is a remarkable piece of work. He’s lives locally and by all accounts is a super lovely chap, but my anxiety and lack of faith in my own status as a real human being has always made me too afraid to actually chat to him properly. I’m really fortunate to be able to call some of my favourite contemporary writers friends, such as Helen, but also Oz Hardwick, John Foggin, Kate Fox, Gen Walsh, and so many others. These are all huge inspirations to me.
9. Why do you write?
I’ve never known why, but I just have for as long as I can remember. I suppose now it’s because it has become my way of engaging with the world in a way that makes sense to me. I’ve always been better with words than with any other medium, and being an awkward sort of guy, the ability to think about and shape what I say before it just comes galloping out of my mouth in a messy scattered way (no seriously you should ask my students) is a real gift.
10. What would you say to someone who asked you “How do you become a writer?”
I would say – you take this pen and you take this paper and away you go. I know that’s a really facetious answer, but it’s true isn’t it? What is stopping anyone becoming a writer? Becoming a writer worth reading I guess would be the trickier part, and I genuinely don’t know if I would put myself in the category (yet), but read others’ writing, listen to criticism, be open to ideas, and never believe that your way is the only way of doing something. Equally, if anyone ever tells you there is one single right way to write a poem, a story, a screenplay, whatever it might be, ignore them. Read widely, see what interests you, but be yourself. Write the things that only YOU could write.
And don’t let anyone stop you.
11. Tell me about the writing projects you have on at the moment.
I am working on a children’s poetry collection (mostly about monsters, and spooky things), and I have the beginnings of a collaboration that I’m pretty excited about, but that one’s in the very early stages at the moment.


A poet whose words still matter‘If the language survives, so will the civilisation.’
Prime Minister Juddha Shumsher banned any use of Nepal Bhasa for business or literary purpose between 1932 to 1945. Shumsher even sanctioned admonitions and fines—some were sent to prison and others forced into exile. This provoked a group of Newar litterateurs to defy government policy—planting a seed for a literature renaissance of their native tongue.
It was then the phrase once used by Mahakabi Siddhidas Mahaju, “Bhasa mwa sa jaati mwai” (“if the language survives, so will the civilisation”) became a mantra for the language movement, and has been a staple slogan for the language rights advocates.
Mahaju, however, wasn’t a political person during his lifetime. He was a poet, essayist and linguist. He often shared his verses in private—with family and friends. But during the Rana regime, the era in which he lived, even that was a dangerous pursuit, says Sharad Kasa, librarian at Asa Saphu Guthi, a public library of ancient Nepali manuscripts. Many writers were also imprisoned during the time, including Yogbir Singh Kansakar, one of Mahaju’s friends.
But a private approach to his literary works led its immortality. Throughout his life, Mahaju steadfastly distributed copies of his poetry among friends, therefore his work survived a time where in literary works were destroyed. His surviving work is still being celebrated within the Newar community—on September 12, Nepal Academy organised an event marking the anniversary of Mahaju’s birth, where contemporary Nepal Bhasa litterateurs recited his poems and celebrated his contributions.
In 1996, following many political transitions, the government of Nepal set up a taskforce to address the indigenous issues in Nepal. It identified a total of 61 different ethnicities as indigenous groups of Nepal, and defined janajatis as “a community having its own mother tongue and traditional culture.”
The relevance of Mahaju’s remarks regarding language became a canon for more than just the Newar community, but for all indigenous nationalities.
“Even in the recent Gorkhaland protest in Darjeeling, where Nepalis fought for their identity, to include Nepali language in schools, they were affirming the same as what Mahaju had said years earlier—if there is no language, there is no identity,” says Kasa.
Although Mahaju is regarded as one of the four great proponents of Nepal Bhasa, along with Nisthananda Bajracharya, Yogbir Singh Kansakar and Jagat Sundar Malla, he had a humble beginning—in life and literature. At 16-years-old, when he came back from Calcutta where he engaged in menial work to survive, he returned with Hindi newspapers and books. He also learned about bookbinding and started penning his own works.
Mahaju was born into a working-class family, and struggled for economic stability for the rest of his life. “He managed to write with the knowledge he had, and kept building on his understanding through his peers,” says Laxmi Mali, chief of mother language literature at Nepal Academy. “For him, his difficult life was his inspiration.”
The poet’s mother passed away when he was still a child and when his father later died, Mahaju was forced into the bread-winning role of the family. Despite the fact that he wanted to focus on writing and publishing his works, Mahaju also had a clothing business for a brief period. The business failed because his passion lied in poetry.
He was one of the first Nepali writers to create fictional worlds and characters to tell stories. In 1910, he published Shiva Vilas Bakhan—in which the main character awakens to understanding why it’s important to expand one’s knowledge and keep sharing it with near and dear ones. It’s as though Mahaju was spurring readers to oppose the Rana rulers’ authority, and to educate themselves.
More than any other writers of his time, Mahaju has altogether written 44 books. He was given the title of ‘Mahakabi’, or ‘Great Poet’, for translating Sanskrit epic Ramayana to Nepal Bhasa as Siddhi Ramayana—it is considered one of his greatest contributions to Nepal Bhasa literature. Mahaju’s works therefore are compared with Adikabi Bhanu Bhakta Acharya, who translated the same piece to Nepali.
The Mahakabi is also recognised as a progressivist because he endorsed equal education and equal rights, on top of his language advocacy.
“He was quite progressive for his time,” says Mali. “He advocated for equal treatment of sons and daughters; and that people shouldn’t be left poor because they wouldn’t be able to grow intellectually,” says Mali. Mahaju also urged that if girls were to be given dowry for marriage, they should be presented with productive items to help them generate income.
When he was working with fellow writer Yogbir Singh Kansakar, as part of his clothing business, Mahaju once again found himself immersed in writing and sharing his poems. Kansakar organised private poetry sessions in his shop, where poets—such as Chakrapani Chalise, Lekhnath Poudyal and Baburaram Acharya—recited and discussed their work with the idea to encourage creativity and critical analysis. They believed without an audience, poets lose the significance of their creation.
Later, he travelled to Birgunj as a trader. There, he wrote the renowned Sajjan Hridayabharan (pictured), a collection of moral poems, while bed-ridden with malaria. Upon returning, he started working at Bhu Dharananda Vaidya’s Wasa Chhe, an ayurvedic medicine shop near Durbar High School, as a medicine miller. But, even there, according to librarian Kasa, Mahaju wrote poems on pieces of paper meant to wrap medicines.
Mahaju used to distribute those scrap paper poems to school students who enjoyed listening to him recite poems.
“One among those students was Siddhi Charan Shrestha [another prominent Nepali writer]. People also say he might have learned to write ‘chhanda kabita’, metric poems, with Mahaju,” says Kasa. “In fact the ‘Mahaju’ title was given to him by people out of respect—his real name was Siddhidas Amatya.”
Kasa says that the Kathmandu Metropolitan City is planning to publish a book that will bring together all of his works later this year. Some of his most notable works include Satyasati, Sukhasagar, Bijuli, Sambad, Sanatan Dharma, Samachar, and Siddhibyakaran.
In 2015, to celebrate his contribution to Nepali and Nepal Bhasa literature, a statue of the man was erected in the memorial park in Ratnapark, but many still have no idea about his works. Despite all the activities to commemorate his works, Mahaju still remains unheard of by many Nepalis.
“I think because I’m from Kel Tol, from where Siddhidas Mahaju is, I heard of him many times during cultural protests. But not many younger people know him and it could be because his work largely remains limited to a small group of Newar community, “ says Pabitra Kasa, a member of Nepal Lipi Guthi, who recited a poem to commemorate Mahaju’s work at the event. “Like other Nepali poets, his works are not read in schools and many of his works haven’t been translated yet,” adds Pabitra Kasa.
“His untiring passion for poetry is what makes him so inspiring,” says Mali of Nepal Academy. “Despite all the hardship, he kept pursuing his love for poetry and, through it, inspiring many Nepalis and Newars to preserve and value their culture.”


Mon Corps est un trésor, by Hélène Romano and illustrated by Germain Barthélémy
Bully Free is the story of a young child who takes part in perilous games to be accepted by a new group of friends at school. The consequences are terrible: the child puts his own life in danger and ends up losing one of his friends.
The issue of bullying is made that much more difficult to address by the fact that children may find themselves alternately victim, witness and ringleader. Hélène Romano’s incisive tale concludes with a page offering practical advice to help parents talk to their children about these types of games and the
danger they pose for themselves and those around them.

This society is going through an awakening where the sociopathic parasitic aspects are being exposed for what they are. People will defend their natures like a emotionally damaged person clinging to the victim role and defending their wounds.
This is only natural addict behavior and this is partly related to the effect of stockholme syndrome by those who perceive themselves as victims in this society and have been conditioned to treat their oppressors as their lords and saviors.
Then there is the actual addiction to power, lust, greed, violence, aggression, all these imbalanced aspects of an unawakened individual which came to fruition when people with the reptilian complex activated over their higher-brain functions came into advanced technology which allowed them to replicate themselves into technological immortality and overlordship.
When this all comes to the public, this whole false-paradigm, forwards and backwards, comes to an end and that is the “End of Days”.

IL-18 expression in active CD is heterogeneous, only a minority of patients expresses elevated levels. Further treatment strategies targeting IL-18 expression in active CD should be concentrated on this subgroup of patients.It has been suggested that Crohn''s Disease (CD) is associated with an elevated T helper 1 response as manifested by increased production of interleukin-18 (IL-18). Local concentrations of neutralizing IL-18 binding proteins (IL-18 bp) may counteract biological functions of mature IL-18 in mucosal inflammation. Therefore, we investigated the IL-18/IL-18 bp system in a large group of patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to identify patients that could respond theoretically to IL-18 neutralizing treatment strategies.IL-18 and IL-18 bp messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in colonic mucosa from patients with active CD (n = 72), active ulcerative colitis (UC; n = 32), and non-IBD controls (infectious colitis or diverticulitis; n = 19) and normal, non-diseased controls (n = 20) were measured by reverse-transcribed real-time polymerase chain reaction. Mature IL-18 protein and IL-18 bp expression in inflamed mucosa were assessed by Western blotting.Although IL-18 mRNA was increased in some patients with CD, the increase was not statistically significant. Densitometric evaluation of IL-18/alpha-actin ratio in patients with active CD (n = 20) and patients with UC (n = 10) demonstrated an increased ratio of IL-18 protein in CD when compared to UC (1.04 vs 0.72 [median]). On closer inspections, only 7/20 CD patients had an increased IL-18 protein expression in inflamed areas compared to noninflamed mucosa.

This is my penultimate Wheel of Time series highlights post, where I pull out my favourite lines and reflect on some of the themes or writing style that I observed.
I read through book 13 of the Wheel of Time with a near insatiable hunger. I normally read on my daily commute but also found myself reading in every spare minute I had (including, when I should have been doing other things). I read with great anticipation. It felt as though I had journeyed so long through the series, and the end of the journey was in sight. For twelve long books the story has been reaching slowly toward a climax and now I knew it was just around the corner. The prophecies would be fulfilled, the Last Battle would finally come. With anticipation (and a tinge of sadness) I looked forward to finishing the journey with the myriad of characters who I’ve spent the more than half a year with.
There were two other things I particularly liked about this book (especially now that I consider them in hindsight). I’ll be a little vague so as not to spoil it. The first is the treatment of the character of Noal Charin. This elderly – and yet surprisingly spritely and dangerous – senior citizen first appears in book 7. He pops in and out for a while, until he begins traveling with Matt. Noal is very suspicious and we’re used to seeing assassins and Darkfriends hiding in plain-sight, so it’s no surprise that the reader assumes he’s somehow nefarious. Not until Towers of Midnight do we understand who he really is. He has a secret, only it’s not the one we think it is. At least that’s how I felt.
The second is the fulfilment of the prophecy where Matt would have to trade “half the light of the world” to rescue Moiraine. I always wondered what that meant, and how it would be achieved. Now I know, and it was excellently plotted. And of course, finished off with some trademark-quality Matt irreverence:
Mat stepped back and tipped his hat to the creatures. ‘Looks like the game can be won after all,’ he said. ‘Tell the foxes I’m mighty pleased with this key they gave me. Also, you can all go rot in a flaming pit of fire and ashes, you unwashed lumps on a pig’s backside. Have a grand bloody day.’ (page 897).
Now onto my highlights:
Dull green moss hung from the branches, drooping like shreds of flesh from rotting corpses. (Page 22)
I love some good descriptive phrases; words that really paint a picture that flourishes in the imagination. What’s particularly great about this one is more than just the vivid description: the phrase reinforces the theme and setting. One wouldn’t use a description like this to describe trees at a wedding, but trees in a world that is literally ‘spoiling’ fit it perfectly.
Like an old friend. A dear, beloved old friend that you were going to stab through the eye, open up at the gut and consume by handfuls while drinking his blood. That was the property way to treat friends. (Page 36)
This block starts off one way, making you think about a friend; and then pivots 180 degrees to show that it’s actually the opposite. (It is a terrible block. For context: it’s an evil villain who has been entirely corrupted by darkness. The thought-process also reveals the character’s warped madness. At the time I didn’t really understand this passage. Only now with hindsight – having finished book 14 – do I understand it. I guess it was foreshadowing and my memory may be foggy – perhaps it does play a bigger part in book 14?)
Continuing the theme I’ve mentioned before about a character understanding and relating to what they are familiar with: Faile comes from a culture noted for their cavalry and adeptness with horse bows.
Faile was actually a perfect complement to Perrin. Where he was a blunt and leveled lance at charge, she was a subtle cavalry bow. (Page 123)
And, Androl a master craftsman who worked with leather:
Logain was a hard man, broken around the edges, like an old scabbard that hadn’t been properly lacquered. But that scabbard still held a deadly sword. Logain was honest. A good man, beneath the scuff marks. (Page 746)
Also, taking what is a cliche for us, and bending and twisting until it’s different enough so as not to be boring. ‘A face only a mother would love’ becomes “Berg had a face ugly enough to make his own mother wince.” (Page 149) and the ‘long arm of the law’ becomes
There were many who would think to exploit a lone wanderer at night, particularly outside the city walls, where the arm of the law was a little on the flabby side. (Page 377)
Some gender-based humour, where men and women looked askance at one another:
- She was not there at the wagon, fortunately for Mat. She would complain at him again for not having gotten her a bellfounder. She seemed to think him her own personal messenger boy. An unruly one, who refused to do his job properly. Most women had moments like that. (Page 259)
- there was nothing a woman liked better than finding men who were relaxing, then giving them orders. (Page 266)
- Nothing was more dangerous for the sanity of men than a woman with too much time on her hands. (Page 266)
‘Nobody walks a difficult path without stumbling now and again. It didn’t break you when you fell. That’s the important part.’ (Page 208)
Besides, I can only fight in one place at a time. What is coming will be grander than that, grander and more terrible than any one man could hope to hold back. I will organize you, but I must leave you. The war will be yours.’ (Page 554)
This passage explains what we should expect in the final book. Rand will face the Dark One, but the cosmic battle between good and evil will not be the only battle. The forces of darkness are many, and the full cast of characters will be used to hold-back the enemy.
Truth, veiled in fiction:
- But also because it was for the best. If two bards tried to play different songs at the same time, they both made noise. But if one stepped back to give harmony to the other’s melody, then the beauty could be greater than either made alone. (Page 626)
- The men who don’t want titles should be the ones who get them, it seems. (Page 681)
- Small things were important. Seconds were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man’s life. (Page 746)
Some great repartee:
‘I don’t like this,’ Birgitte said.
‘You don’t like anything, lately,’ Elayne said.
‘I swear, you’re becoming more irritable by the day.’‘It’s because you’re becoming more foolhardy by the day.’
‘Oh, come now. This is hardly the most foolhardy thing I’ve done.’
‘Only because you’ve set a very high benchmark for yourself, Elayne.’ (Page 833)
Mat just shook his head. ‘Well, we’re out, one way or another. But Thom, next time I want to do the bloody negotiating, sneak up behind and hit me on the head with something large, heavy and blunt. Then take over.’
‘Your request is noted.’ (Page 907)
Just great phrases:
- Eventually, the wind encountered another continent, this one quiet, like a man holding his breath before the headsman’s axe fell. (Page 46)
- He was a young man, but the way he stood – relaxed, yet poised, hand on the pommel of his sword – indicated he was a practiced soldier. Too bad he had such a pretty face. A life in the military would probably end up wrecking that. (Page 303)
- at night, the holes and scars on the White Tower were patched with a bandage of darkness. (Page 361)
Some interesting words that I’d either not heard before, or seldom:
- whelp – A young offspring of a mammal, such as a dog or wolf. (Page 85)
- succor – To give assistance to in time of want, difficulty, or distress (Page 95)
- expurgations – purging, cleansing from anything noxious, offensive, sinful or erroneous (Page 316)
- fecund – Capable of producing offspring or vegetation (Page 429)
- bittern – a type of wading bird (Page 721)
- superlatively – Of the highest order, quality, or degree; surpassing or superior to all others. (Page 784)
- sonorous – Having or producing a full, deep, or rich sound (Page 895)


This also fits in with the recurring struggle theme since enlisting is a equally risky proposition. Then is this poem not about the query âHow to make a difference in the world? If nothing else, readers are left with the impression that our narrator, who instructions beautiful verse, profound imagery, and time itself (âages and ages henceâ) places value on striving to make a difference. The striving is reconstituted and sophisticated right here in reflection, but our hero wants to make a distinction and so ought to we. That is why this may be a nice poem, from a basic or shut reading perspective.
Strong photographs of sunshine and dark that will help students perceive the theme. When we are saying poetry is âcondensed language,â this poem is an ideal example of that. Common Things by Christopher Kondrich â Is it a statue or a commentary on gun laws?
Poets employ apostrophe when they communicate to the dead or to a protracted lost lover, but in addition they use apostrophe when writing an Ode to a Grecian Urn or an Ode to the Women in Long Island. Copy it onto a half-slice of paper and use the other half for writing an analysis. I thought I knew tips on how to analyze a poem, however it wasnât until I realized tips on how to annotate a poem that I actually mastered it. And it wasnât until I taught students the method to annotate a poem that I really realized the means to do each. Itâs true that poems maintain so much extra which means than the â usually â brief quantity of words they comprise. Helping students to unpack that which means could be challenging.
This is a common enough poetic technique that it warrants its personal step within the analytic course of. Nearly each sonnet contains a flip in the ultimate two lines of the poem, but numerous different types of poems comprise some sort of shift. A significantly stunning and well-crafted poem only becomes extra gratifying the more you increase your understanding of the decisions the poet made to craft it. The following steps define the sorts of questions to ask yourself while writing a poem analysis. Unlike some poets, who match right into a poetic movement like metaphysical or baroque poetry, Thomas is difficult to categorise.
During the Victorian period, the segregation of class was prominent, as society divided into social courses. The rich enjoyed a leisure life, however poorer individuals had a rough life, oftentimes working exhausting labour resulting in early deaths . Dickensâ model of Victorian society together with his exaggerated idiosyncratic characters have effectively evoked emotional responses in readers as there was a relatable component of reality to his poems and novels. âTreesâ by Mark HaddonMany younger people will recognize Mark Haddon as the writer of the favored novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which is part of the rationale why I selected him. âTreesâ is a poem that offers with problems with self-identity â what makes a person a person, and how does an individual match into the world.
Even he, I suspect, will change his list over time. Marie December thirteen, 2016 It was my first time reading the poem and I thought it meant the mournfully excessive number of people that say such things. We may consider the whole poem as a clarion call to do great issues, nonetheless insignificant they may seem in the present and on the empirically observable floor. Thus, the greatness of this poem lies in its capability to so clearly prescribe a technique for greatness in our modern world. The final three stanzasâwhich, having damaged free from science by this level within the poem, learn extra smoothlyâsuggest that this acting for lofty purposes can lead to greatness and may help our fellow man. In this nine-stanza poem, the first six stanzas are somewhat vague since every stanza seems to begin a model new thought.
In âLayovers,â the recollections of misplaced love and the goals of https://learnigbolanguage.com/why-is-it-important-to-learn-a-foreign-language-essay/ renewal function a reprieve from Bukowskiâs encounters with demise. Serving an identical operate are encounters with the sudden, as in âExperience,â and anarchistic protests such as the one depicted in âWhat Seems to Be the Trouble, Gentlemen? Bukowskiâs first four chapbooks correctly acclimate the reader to his twin visionâ his rawness and his compassion. They also reveal the risks inherent in this kind of personal, reportorial poetry.
Although the âangel voicesâ imagery within the seventh line of the third stanza is metaphorical, the connotation used is concrete and sense-related . The speaker imagines his âabsolute certaintyâ because it simply emerges from a partly unconscious psychological course of . The chorus connotation can be discovered on the finish of every stanza, bringing about a level that the feelings that the persona skilled never dies. Also, there are plenty of rhymes such as âyouth, truthâ plus âcry, dieâ in stanza 1, âneed, indeedâ plus âhigh, dieâ in stanza 2 and âdo, trueâ plus âhigh, dieâ in stanza three (âThings that never die,â n.d.). Metaphor may be found by way of âruins oldâ in stanza one as it referred to mortality. âOak Treeâ in this poem referred to death in stanza two.

Allopurinol is an FDA -Approved xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which is effective in the
treatment of gout, hyperuricemia and uremic kidney stones in patients with an increased level of
uric acid excretion. Xanthine oxidase acts by converting hypoxanthine and xanthine into uric acid,
and therefore its inhibition results in decreased production of uric acid. The most common side effects
of this medication are as follows: maculopapular rashes, hives, itching, headache, dizziness,
abnormal hair loss, fever and hypersensitivity reaction.
Case Presentation: This report represents a case of drug-induced meningitis of a senile man who
ended up in the ICU due to the remarkably reduced state of consciousness.

I was reminded recently that it concerns both. The Bible, in my opinion, is a factual history, excluding such parts as Psalms and the obviously poetic and symbolic parts (for me Genesis is not included in these). Yet, when we see the Bible only in this aspect, we lose a good deal of its meaning. It becomes a thick volumed dusty history book not too different from others. But in reality, it is a living book that is immediately applicable to our lives. When we begin to look this way we begin to see ourselves in the characters of the Bible, both the wicked and the good, the weak and the strong. We notice they have faults like our own and they take on life and it is no longer a stretch to believe that they truly existed. Seeing them a symbolic of ourselves, does not seem to detract from their historicity, but instead seems to confirm it. The Bible is not a book of the dead, but of the living. It is not of the fake, but of the real.
One book which I have found insightful in this is Peculiar Treasures by Frederick Buechner, it has a couple pages of thoughts or a little less on an A through Z listing of many of the characters throughout the Bible.

...To love God is not a goal we have to struggle toward on our own because what at its heart the Gospel is all about is that God himself moves us toward it even when we believe he has forsaken us.
The final secret, I think, is this: that the words "You shall love the Lord your God" become in the end less a command than a promise. And the promise is that, yes, on the weary feet of faith and the fragile wings of hope, we will come to love him at last as from the first he has loved us-- loved us even in the wilderness, especially in the wilderness, because he has been in the wilderness with us. He has been in the wilderness for us. He has been acquainted with our grief. And, loving him, we will come at last to love each other too so that, in the end, the name taped on every door will be the name of the one we love.
This hopeful promise is a beautiful truth. Even in the happy times we do not love God truly and completely. In fact as Buechner says early it may be only in the hard times that we truly understand what it means to love him. Yet, even still there remains the hope that even though we fail to perfectly love God now, our hearts are still struggling against Him, there will be a time in which we will know what it means to truly love God as he has loved us, then it shall be our constant desire of our hearts to delight in Him. No more struggling against the one who is trying to save us because He will have led us on the journey through the wilderness and we will have found ourselves home--in our true home.

Living in a dorm room also teaches something about the necessities of life. I have all this stuff in my room in addition to all the stuff I brought home (a third of which I probably didn't use) and my room is at least twice the size of my dorm room but only for me. What do I need all this stuff and room for? I lived with the amount of stuff I had at college for a year. I have seen others who were happy and grateful with even less. It makes me really wonder if a well-paying job is what I should be seeking after so that I can get all the stuff that makes for a "happy" life.
Jesus said to"lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Light therapy is a way to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and certain other conditions by exposure to artificial light. SAD is a type of depression that occurs at a certain time each year, usually in the fall or winter.
During light therapy, you sit or work near a device called a light therapy box. The box gives off bright light that mimics natural outdoor light.
Light therapy is thought to affect brain chemicals linked to mood and sleep, easing SAD symptoms. Using a light therapy box may also help with other types of depression, sleep disorders and other conditions. Light therapy is also known as bright light therapy or phototherapy.

[PLACES AND NAMES] contains many insights into the purpose of war and how it damages all parties involved. . . . Any fan of Ackerman’s previous novels, memoirs on the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, and valuable outlooks on the nature of war and its combatants will find this phenomenal.” —Library Journal, starred review
“The power of this memoir comes from [Ackerman’s] illumination of paradoxes and contradictions that provide a common emotional denominator for soldiers who previously found themselves in wars where they discovered more than two sides. . . . A profoundly human narrative that transcends nationality and ideology.” —Kirkus, starred review
“[A] searing, contemplative, and unforgettable memoir-in-essays. . . . Deeply personal yet never losing sight of the big, historical reasons for recent events, this collection recalls Michael Herr’s classic Dispatches as well as William T. Vollmann’s voluminous ruminations on violence in Rising Up and Rising Down, and is perhaps the finest writing about the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts that has been published to date.” —Booklist, starred review
“Elliot Ackerman fought the Long War, and now, with Places and Names, he gives us a searingly honest record of his ongoing effort to make sense of that war. This is, literally, a book of wanderings; Ackerman's sojourns to conflict zones, old battlefields, and muddy refugee camps recall the wanderings of that earlier soldier, Odysseus, as he struggles to come home from war, and, no less than his predecessor, Ackerman finds himself journeying through the shadow world of ghosts and spirits that go by the name of memory. Vivid, profound, restless, and relentlessly probing, Places and Names is destined to become a classic of the Long War.”—Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk
“What a great, honest book - the kind that makes one feel lucky to have in one's hands. Ackerman has served his country twice: first as an infantryman in our nations wars, and then as a guide—wise beyond his years—who helps us understand what we've done. His prose is easy and comfortable like an old jacket. His understanding of war is so profound that one feels like secrets have been revealed—truths—information that one day may be necessary for our survival. Well done.” — Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe
"Places and Names is its own profile in courage: the story of how a Marine turned reporter struggled with the polemics of desolation in the Middle East. Elliot Ackerman is a man of both action and thought, and his book is closely observed, rigorously lived, and clarifying for all of us who have not understood how U.S. policy in the Islamic world went so terribly wrong." —Andrew Solomon, author of Far and Away, Far From the Tree, and The Noonday Demon
"Places and Names is a brilliant and gripping account of the aftermath of failed wars and revolutions, and of the still burning idealism that smolders in the wreckage. Elliot Ackerman brings a novelist's skill with language, a reporter's eye for detail, and his life experience as a highly decorated Marine veteran of five deployments to bear in this unique and powerful meditation on violence, heroism, and the fracturing of the Middle East." —Phil Klay, author of Redeployment, winner of the National Book Award
"Elliot Ackerman’s voice scares me. It's a bit too close for comfort. He sees too much and he knows too much, and that makes him a great guide to today’s post-everything Middle East. Read him at your own risk—but ignore this book at your own peril." —Thomas E. Ricks, author of Making the Corps, Fiasco, and Churchill and Orwell
“In Places and Names, Elliot Ackerman, a soldier turned writer, seeks out his former foes and confronts his own memories on battlefields where the killing continues. The result is one of the most profound books I have ever read about the real nature of war and the abstract allure of the ideas and the bloodshed that fuels it.” —Jon Lee Anderson, author of The Fall of Baghdad and Guerrillas: Journeys in the Insurgent World
“Elliot Ackerman writes beautifully about war—especially the new wars of the Middle East through fiction and now non-fiction. His exceptional memoir is really a double memoir of his own experiences as a Marine and those of a jihadist fighter he befriends in a refugee camp. The result is an superb, unique, and unforgettable story of war and death, fear and cruelty, above all the horrors and allure of combat.” —Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The Romanovs
“Places and Names is an extraordinarily beautiful and insightful work of memoir and journalism by a writer who deserves to be read widely. Elliot Ackerman is as adept at describing the strange cocktail of emotions that accompany the moments preceding combat as he is unraveling the Gordian Knot of contemporary geopolitics.” —Kevin Powers
“Ackerman’s honest searching to come to terms with his war experience helped me better understand my own. This book is a gift that should be shared with every American who helped pay for people like Ackerman to fight their wars for them.” —Karl Marlantes, prize-winning author of Matterhorn and Deep River
A memoir of the war you can't leave behind.
For Ackerman (Waiting for Eden, 2018, etc.), a former Marine who earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart, and so many of the others he met during his return to the battlefronts of the Middle East, there was no good reason for them to be drawn back there other than the feeling that war had given their lives purpose and that civilian life offered no fulfilling substitute. "If purpose is the drug that induces happiness," he writes, "there are few stronger doses than the wartime experience." The equation of war with happiness may jolt readers who haven't seen combat, but the power of this memoir comes from the author's illumination of paradoxes and contradictions that provide a common emotional denominator for soldiers who previously found themselves in wars where they discovered more than two sides. "For a moment we sit, three veterans from three different sides of a war that has no end in sight," writes Ackerman of his bonding with two friends who might have been categorized as Muslim terrorists, one of whom would later ask him to be best man at his wedding. "Not the Syrian Civil War, or the Iraq War, but a larger regional conflict," one in which they discovered "a unifying thread between us: friendships born out of conflict, the strongest we've ever known." Throughout the poignant narrative there is a sense that the Americans for whom the author has fought have misunderstood the Muslims that he has fought against and that the boundaries dating back to the colonial era have never reflected the ethnic geography of those who inhabit the region. A story in which Ackerman made new friends and confronted old ghosts culminates in a flashback to the Battle of Fallujah and his memories of what took place.
A profoundly human narrative that transcends nationality and ideology.
Former Marine Ackerman (Dark at the Crossing) crafts his memoir in a unique and entertaining format. Rather than writing chronologically, he begins in the present day with his travels to Syria and Iraq. He befriends a man named Abed who saw the start of the democratic revolution in Syria and introduces Ackerman to another man named Abu Hassar, who was himself involved with ISIS. Hassar and Ackerman realize they were combatants on opposite sides of war, both dealing with the effects of the conflict, the deaths of friends, and the memories of harsh battles. Throughout, Ackerman goes back and forth between his visits to today's Syria and Iraq and his five tours of duty. The account contains many insights into the purpose of war and how it damages all parties involved. The bookend meeting with Hassar and the conclusion help to solidify the beauty of the work. VERDICT Any fan of Ackerman's previous novels (Waiting for Eden), memoirs on the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, and valuable outlooks on the nature of war and its combatants will find this phenomenal. [See Prepub Alert, 12/3/18.]—Jason L. Steagall, formerly with Gateway Technical Coll. Lib., Elkhorn, WI


Exploring Factors Influencing Students' Entrepreneurial Intention in Vocational Colleges Based on Structural Equation Modeling: Evidence From China.Front Psychol. 2022; 13:898319.FP
With the proposal of "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation" and other ideas, the demand for entrepreneurial talent in China is increasing, but the supply of entrepreneurial talent is far insufficient. Consistent with theory of social cognition and planned behavior, this study outlines a conceptual model including entrepreneurial intention (EI), emotional competency (EC), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), entrepreneurial attitude (EA), entrepreneurial education (EE), and subjective norms (SN). A structural equation model was applied through a questionnaire survey of 382 vocational college students in Jiangxi province to test the relationship between the constructs in the model. The results show that, firstly, EA, EE, ESE, and EC have positive effects on EI, while the positive effect of SN on EI is not supported. Secondly, a mediating role is played by ESE and EA in the association between EI and EE. Thirdly, ESE and EA play mediating roles in the relationship between EI and EC. Some implications of EI for schools and students were discussed.


A Study on the Dominance of Ethical Driving for Corporate Social Responsibility
Download as PDF
For the hot topic of corporate social responsibility, scholars have carried out their research on the economic relationship between economic driving, institutional driving and corporate social responsibility. Nevertheless, there is a gap between the current practice and the cognition of the importance of corporate social responsibility. In order to promote the practice of corporate social responsibility and enrich the current research on corporate social responsibility motivation, this research analyzed the internal relationship of three driving forces of corporate social responsibility, which contains economic driving, institutional driving and ethical driving, by starting with the philosophical issues of firm nature, enterprise genetics and corporate mission. And then, the research discovered and distinguished the different levels of effect and status that the three driving forces had in the process of business development and, after analyzing, found that the ethical driving force is dominant among the threes. Finally,this research reveals that it is important to value the core function of ethical driving, driving the corporate social responsibility to be more sustainable at a higher level.

It’s sunny and mild right now, a perfect morning to hang laundry out on the clothesline and go for a long walk, both things I’m going to do after writing this post. But for now, I’m enjoying my steaming cup of chai and a delicious Date Bar from City Café - yummy!!
Last weekend I needed to find a book to read and an audiobook to listen to, and I chose one of each without knowing much about either one. What are the chances that I would choose a book and an audiobook on the same day that each had a main character named Jones (first name, that is)? So even though I wasn’t sure how much I was enjoying either one, I felt destined to stick with them. I just finished the book, A Sudden Light by Garth Stein (you may be familiar with this author’s name associated with his most popular novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain, told from the point of view of a dog). I’m not quite sure why I had A Sudden Light on my shelf, but I picked it out along with a pile of other books I know nothing about. I decided that I needed to weed out some books, so I read the first few pages of each and either kept it or brought it to the Little Free Library that is at the end of my street. This one I stuck with, and finished reading last night. It is told from the point of view of Trevor, an adult looking back on the summer he was fourteen, when his father took him to his Grandpa Samuel’s estate just outside of Seattle, an estate that seemed to be suspended in time, having never moved beyond the night Samuel’s wife, Isobel, passed away, leaving their son Jones and daughter Serena motherless and in the care of Samuel. But sixteen-year-old Jones is sent away to school shortly thereafter, leaving eleven-year-old Serena to care for drunken Samuel, causing her to feel trapped and embittered. Nearly twenty-five years later, she wants to sell the North Estate, a crumbling mansion surrounded by 200 acres of pristine forest, and develop it into 20 lots of 10 acres each for the newly-rich to build their McMansions on, making her rich and allowing her to travel the world. But Jones’ ancestors, in particular his great-grand-uncle Ben, had other ideas: they wanted to return the estate to its natural state and preserve it, a repayment for the rape and pillage of so much land, as well as the exploitation of the men they employed, that made the family rich in the timber industry in the early 1900s. Grandpa Samuel is suffering dementia, and Serena needs him to sign over power of attorney, which is where Jones comes in. Jones and his wife Rachel are experiencing marital problems after their personal bankruptcy, and are in the midst of a trial separation, and all Trevor wants is for them to get back together and be happy again. He believes that money is the solution, but can money truly buy happiness? Through letters and diary entries, Trevor pieces together the intentions of his ancestors, and must struggle to reconcile his desire to stay true to his dead family's wishes and his need to try to bring his living family back together. This sprawling, multigenerational story exploring the consequences of wealth and greed and the search for redemption, with a supernatural twist, is totally not my type of book, but it had me hooked! Stein’s exploration into the motivations of Trevor, Serena, and to some extent Jones, was riveting, and this book reminded me in some ways of The Hunger of the Wolf by Stephen Marche, also about a wealthy, powerful American family with dark secrets, although Marche’s book was more literary, more of a “Lee Valley” book, than Stein’s “Canadian Tire” bestseller. Still, it was an enjoyable read, and while I felt it dragged a bit, I still wanted to find opportunities to read and get to the end to find out how things are resolved. There were also times, particularly in the first half of the book, when it reminded me of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig, probably because both books involved a father and son on a quest to discover the true meaning of value and integrity. I would definitely recommend this book to just about anyone, as it defies categorization: it’s part historical fiction, part ghost story, part domestic fiction, part psychological fiction, and so much more. I didn’t love it, but I enjoyed it.
That’s all for today. Oh, the audiobook with the character named Jones is Darkness, my old friend by Lisa Unger. I’m still listening to it, and will write about it when I’m done. Get outside and enjoy the day!Bye for now…


A young woman prays at her husband's bedside as he lies in a coma with a bullet in his neck. From outside come the sounds of tanks, gunshots, screaming and, most terrifying of all, silence. Inside, her two frightened daughters call to her from the hallway. As she tries to keep her husband alive, the woman rages against men, war, culture, God.

That's a good and tough question. In the beginning of the novel, Candide simply learns that the world is not what he had thought it was—that it was more, and more rugged. He starts naïve, and sees the world.
He then learns fate and mercy, when he is forced into the military, and then saved from a whipping.
He learns that there are more complex ways to view the world when he talks with the philosopher, and, more generally, that there are many views of the world.
His final lesson, which may not be the book's lesson, comes in the end of the novel, where he learns that this is, as Pangloss taught, the best of all possible worlds, and that we must all "cultivate our garden."
i think that candide throught the book learns that there are many diffucult situations and that it is not always for the best like pangloss says.
Through the book, Candide learns that all is not for the best. In the beginning, he thinks that Pangloss's idea of "all is for the best" is true, but as he suffers more and goes through more difficulties, he starts to change is mind and thinks that what he is experiencing is not the best thing that could happen.


How many times have you dedicated yourself to a purpose or made a sacrifice for someone, only to feel unappreciated or undervalued? How in the world could that have happened? Surely, it’s a direct lack of respect shown by the other party(s) involved.
Perhaps they just didn’t know. Or even more, perhaps they knew and just didn’t care. You see, we are so conditioned (myself included) to feel that our mission is shared by all of those around us, even those not closely associated with us. Social media has given us all a voice, one that truly matters. My social badges and friend count show how important I am and why my viewpoints should be shared by all. Right? Wrong!
Last year, as I was beginning my journey in personal development, I went to a speaker’s convention in AZ. A good friend saw the passion I had for developing myself as a speaker, and he had the means to gift me a spot at the event. The value of that trip, and his selfless act, will last a lifetime.
The most valuable piece of information I took home from that event was this: S.T.A.Y. (Stop Thinking About Yourself). In the grand scheme of things, our opinions matter a lot less (to a lot less people) than we think. Stop thinking about what you can do to make yourself happy. Stop thinking about your crusade. Focus on something else. Start thinking about how you can make someone else happy, how you can make their lives better.
I do a lot of things – blog, write book(s), train, teach, speak, research – the list goes on. BUT, now more than ever, I am focusing on living my life in a way that provides value to others. And sometimes those ideas are home runs, sometimes they’re singles, and sometimes they’re big whiffs. Regardless, the intrinsic value I feel from making someone else feel good is equal to or greater than the greatest night of my life, the Rick Story fight…I mean my wedding…I mean the birth of my daughter…
It’s late. I’m going to bed. And please, S.T.A.Y.

"Mezze" is a middle-eastern custom similar to "tea" in the United Kingdom or "happy hour" in the United States. A variety of little foods for snacking at the end of the day. My Capstone offers a variety of short stories for one's reading pleasure.What I like about fiction writing is the guilt free, guileless freedom to tell a little lie and then grow it into a really big one! My sole purpose as a fiction is to entertain. the reader may smile or chuckle. I certainly hope that one's heart will be lighter and that one will feel a bit more comfortable in their own skin than they did only minutes before. "Minutes" being the operant word here...ergo the short story.This semester of Capstone has been one of personal revelation. As a writer long hours of solitude and isolation have led me to an internal resonance previously unknown to me.My Capstone adviser, Tony Grooms, described my way of writing is known as "intuitive" writing. Events and characters develop on their own as the story falls onto the page. These four stories in my Capstone are fiction, developed from my imagination.


16 the Goddess and the Gaiety Girl
4.00 · 1 ratings · Published: Aug 18th, 2012 |
Katie King is a girl with big dreams for the future! A dancer in the heart of London's theatre land, Katie is awaiting her big break, when her name will finally be in lights above the Gaiety Theatre. Fun-loving, cute and adoring of her charming boyfriend, the enigmatic Harry Carrington, Katie is sure that her unusual crowning glory of wild auburn curls will help catapult her out of the chorus line and into the leading roles she deserves. But Katie's dazzling smile masks a tragedy - she is desperately ill and her enforced absence from the stage means that she does not have the money for the private healthcare she so badly needs. A few streets away, illness has touched the life of another young woman with distinctive Titian hair, Larentia. She is nursing her sick father, the eminent historian Professor Braintree, and suffers similar horrors when he is diagnosed as incurable. Whilst brilliant and an expert in his field, the Professor's books gain him respect, not money and they too cannot afford the surgery needed. At first it seems that the only two things that the girls have in common are their astoundingly beautiful hair and a desperate need for money to employ the services of the pioneering surgeon Mr. Curtis Sheldon. However, the sudden death of the 4th Duke of Tregaron, a cad of the first order, whose unwanted attentions and lewd behaviour caused a naive Katie such pain in her first year in London, results in Harry coming up with a daring plan to capitalise on their short lived relationship. If Larentia agrees to play her part, and the new Duke, Justin Garon, believes their story there is just a chance that they can raise enough money to save both Katie and the Professor. But can an innocent young woman, with no experience of the darker side of life, be able to trick everyone? And what will be the ultimate cost of the deception if she fails? For this final curtain call Katie must sit back stage as Larentia prepares to give the performance of a lifetime.

Lady Karame wanted to scare this guy and she managed to do it with a smile on her face. She did not have to talk much. Her scare did most of the work for her and it was a mean look but peppered with a smile here and a few words there. He got scared shitless as he knew she meant every word she said. He had to beg her not do what she told him she would do to him.
Lady Karame was out to scare this guy and she did it with her feet. The mistress made sure that her feet were smelly before she used them for that purpose. The guy could not believe what she wanted to do to him and she verbalized it to make it even more graphic. He got even more scared and he begged her not to do it. He begged while shaking like a leaf.
Lady Karame had an issue with how this employee was always absent. She did not like that and she felt that punishing him would be a good way to punish him. And that is why she went out of her way to dominate and humiliate him. She did so to the employee and by the time she was done with him, he had learned his lesson. And he was never absent again.
When it comes to humiliating those who piss them off, these mistresses do not spare any effort. Today lady Karame and her friend used smelly socks to dominate. The loser had to lick them and then do what the mistresses instructed him. They sat back to watch what he did and he was promised a painful punishment if he did not follow the instructions to the last detail. He had to.
Lady Karame is the kind of person who loves to dominate and to degrade which is what she did to this guy today. She wanted to make the guy learn never to anger her as he had done so she used her trampling fetish to punish him. She first of all described what she wanted to do to him and then went ahead to do it exactly as she had described it.
Mistress Kat knows that many people love her big tits and since she wanted to turn this guy into a paypig, she used them to lure him and to turn him into a financial slave. The mistress flaunted them to him and made him feast his eyes on them and in no time, she had managed to dominate him financially but even more importantly, she had managed to recruit him as her latest financial slave.
Lady Zora wanted to get some financial favors from her colleague and she remembered that he had a thing for her so she used that to tease him and to make money from him. He could not resist her as she teased him and that is how he happened to open his wallet for him. He did not even know how much he lost to her that way when all was said and done.
Mistress Harley has one thing going for her and that is her big tits. Besides her big tits, she also has a nice ass. But it is her huge tits which she uses as bait for findom. And it works all the time as guys can never resist her hot tits and they want to bury their faces in her tits. Those are the guys she turns into her financial slaves.
Lady Karame was taking a walk to clear her mind. As she continued walking, she felt like she needed to use her boots to punish the loser for what he had done. She took the walk on dusty and dirty surfaces and then went back to have her shoes licked clean by the slave. She had a great time punishing him and she knew it was worth it by the time she was done with him.
Lady Karame likes guys who are obedient. Anyone who is not is automatically punished and that is what she did with this loser. She forced him to lick her boots. The boots were dirty but by the time he was done licking them, they were clean. She had warned him that if they were not clean, she would use them to trample him and he did not want that to happen.

Love Your Enemies
“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.”
Greetings, fellow believers!
In a world often filled with conflict and division, Jesus gives us a radical command in Luke 6:35: “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
These words challenge us to rise above our natural inclinations and extend love even to those who may oppose us. It’s a call to embody the very character of our Heavenly Father.
Loving our enemies is no easy task.
It goes against our human nature, which tends to retaliate or hold grudges.
Yet, when we choose to love our enemies, we participate in a transformative act of divine grace. It is a powerful demonstration of the love that God has poured into our hearts.
Consider this: when we love our enemies, we are imitating God Himself. He is kind to ungrateful and evil people. His love knows no boundaries or conditions. He extends mercy and compassion to all, regardless of their actions or attitudes.
As children of the Most High, we are called to emulate His love and extend it to those who may not deserve it.
Loving our enemies does not mean condoning or accepting their harmful behavior.
It means responding with kindness, forgiveness, and genuine care, even when it’s difficult. It means praying for our hearts to be softened, that we may see them through God’s eyes and understand the brokenness that may drive their actions.
Prayer becomes a powerful tool in our pursuit of loving our enemies.
We can pray for our hearts to be transformed and aligned with God’s heart of love. Ask Him to give you the strength and grace to extend love and forgiveness, even to those who have wronged you. Surrender your hurts, anger, and resentment to Him, allowing Him to heal and restore your heart.
When we choose to love our enemies, something incredible happens within us.
We experience a freedom that transcends our circumstances.
The weight of bitterness and animosity is lifted, and in its place, we find peace and joy. We begin to see the humanity in our enemies and recognize their need for God’s love, just as we do.
My friends, let me assure you that loving your enemies is not an easy journey.
It requires daily surrender and reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit.
But when you accomplish it, you will experience the most amazing feeling the profound sense of walking in alignment with God’s heart and fulfilling His commandment.
Today, I encourage you to reflect on Luke 6:35.
Examine your heart and ask yourself if there are any enemies or people you struggle to love.
Take time to pray for a softened heart and a greater capacity to extend love, forgiveness, and kindness to them.
Trust that God will equip you for this transformative journey.
And now, let’s join in prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You are acknowledging the challenge of loving our enemies. We confess our own struggles and limitations in this area. Lord, we ask for a supernatural outpouring of Your love within us. Soften our hearts and enable us to see our enemies through Your eyes. Grant us the grace to extend kindness, forgiveness, and compassion, just as You have shown us. Empower us by Your Spirit to love unconditionally, even when it’s difficult. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, my friends, that loving your enemies is a testament to the transformative power of God’s love within you. As you embark on this journey, seek His guidance and rely on His strength.
Share the message of love and forgiveness with others, inviting them to experience the freedom and joy that comes from obeying God’s commandments. May you be filled with His love and grace as you strive to love your enemies and reflect the heart of your Heavenly Father.
Heavenly Father, we humbly come before You, recognizing the weight and challenge of loving our enemies. We confess that, in our own strength, it is impossible for us to do so. But we know that with You, all things are possible. So, Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in our hearts and minds.
Father, soften our hearts towards those who have hurt us, wronged us, or opposed us. Help us to see them through Your eyes, not as enemies to be defeated, but as individuals in need of Your love and redemption. Grant us the wisdom to discern the root causes of their actions and the empathy to understand the pain they may be carrying.
Lord, we surrender our hurt, anger, and resentment into Your hands. Take away the bitterness that has settled in our hearts and replace it with Your peace and forgiveness. Fill us with Your love, which knows no bounds and extends to all, regardless of their actions or attitudes.
Holy Spirit, empower us to walk in obedience to Your command to love our enemies. Give us the strength to overcome our natural inclinations and respond with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Help us to let go of the desire for revenge and instead seek reconciliation and restoration, even in the face of difficulty.
Lord, we ask for the courage to extend a hand of friendship and reconciliation to those who have caused us pain. Give us opportunities to demonstrate Your love through acts of kindness and mercy. May our actions and words reflect Your grace, drawing others closer to You.
In moments of weakness and weariness, remind us of Your example of love. You loved us while we were still sinners, demonstrating Your kindness and forgiveness. Help us to extend that same love to our enemies, knowing that Your love has the power to transform hearts and bring about reconciliation.
Father, we pray for protection and strength as we navigate the complexities of relationships with our enemies. Shield us from bitterness, resentment, and any desire for vengeance. Fill us with Your Spirit, so that we may respond with wisdom, grace, and love in all situations.
Lord, we trust in Your promise that when we love our enemies, our reward will be great. Help us to fix our eyes on the eternal perspective, knowing that our actions have a far-reaching impact beyond what we can see in the present. May our love for our enemies serve as a testimony to Your transforming power in our lives.
We commit ourselves to this journey of loving our enemies, knowing that we cannot do it in our own strength. We rely on Your grace, Your guidance, and Your love to sustain us. Use us, Lord, as instruments of reconciliation and agents of Your love in a world that so desperately needs it.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
May you be filled with the courage, strength, and compassion to love your enemies, knowing that in doing so, you reflect the character of our Heavenly Father. May your love be a testimony to His transforming power and draw others into His embrace. Trust in His guidance and share the message of love and forgiveness with others, inviting them to experience the freedom and joy that comes from obeying His command. God bless you abundantly as you embark on this transformative journey.
