Ballard’s High-Rise (1975) is a fascinating yet relentlessly mono-thematic novel inspired by the effects of class conflict and urbanization on society drawing on some ideas explored in earlier SF masterpieces such as John Brunner’s Stand on Zanzibar (1969) and Silverberg’s The World Inside(1971) (both of which I prefer to High-Rise). ![]() ![]() ![]() “Diversification is a risk management strategy that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. ![]() Trust that the market will do what you know it should do and then wait for it to do its thing.

This might mean that you’re playing the long game with your investments, but the intelligent investor understands that the long game is highly profitable. But the investors who bought shares in Facebook at that stage were later rewarded by its spectacular growth. ![]() When it first started out, Facebook might not have looked like a very big deal to prospective investors. But before it became the Facebook we know and love today, it was a little social media platform started in one guy’s college dorm. Today, the social media network is an international sensation. To put this into context, just imagine investing in Facebook before it was Facebook. ![]() ![]() ![]() When George Washington introduces himself, he says he is “The model of a modern major general/ the venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all/ Lining up, to put me on a pedestal.” Miranda has called this, with typical hip-hop braggadocio, an improvement on Gilbert and Sullivan’s own patter song from The Pirates of Penzance, saying, “ I always felt like ‘mineral’ wasn’t the best possible rhyme.” Similarly, when Aaron Burr cautions his contemporaries against joining the revolution, he says, “I’m with you but the situation is fraught/ You’ve got to be carefully taught,” quoting from South Pacific. ![]() There are also Miranda’s winking allusions to Broadway. Of course, not all the references are to rap and R&B. ![]() And there’s also its referentiality: The show borrows liberally but always makes sure to pay tribute to hip-hop’s own forefathers. There’s the show’s casting, which has America’s founding fathers played by people of color. There’s the way the musical, about the immigrant and founding father Alexander Hamilton, tells the Jay Z-, Biggie-, or Nas–like story of how one man used his way with words to rise up from the bottom. ![]() There are many ways in which Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking new musical Hamilton is quintessentially hip-hop, and many of them don’t have a thing to do with rapping or beats. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hell, I didn’t even have hair on my nuts five years ago.”įrom the moment Fallon O’Neil and Benton James Kessler’s eyes met in a busy LA restaurant, they knew nothing would be the same again. ![]() Who knows what could happen between now and then.

In her true fashion, Ms Hoover has given us another terrific page-turner, a multifaceted storyline built entirely on the evolving relationship between its two charismatic key players, and the fated ties binding them to each other. ![]() There’s a very rare feeling I get every time I open a Colleen Hoover book, a cross between trepidation and elation, because I know she is not only going to run my heart over with the plotline itself, but also blow my mind with its uniqueness. ![]() ![]() ![]() Me: I’m working on a sequel called DANGEROUS DEPTHS.

My love began with Sea Wee dolls and Madison from the movie SPLASH, but Daryl Hannah never answered my request to meet up and sign my book. And I’m thrilled to sign beside one of the stars who deepened my love for mermaids. So, it’s no big surprise that I asked my friend Ariel (aka The Little Mermaid, most famous mermaid EVER-in my humble and professional opinion) to help me with a giveaway for the Mermaid Splash.Īs you can see from the photo, she happily signed a copy of TANGLED TIDES. ![]() Now, we live so close to Disney World that we can go whenever we want. ![]() I grew up in a house filled with Disney collectibles, and we went to Disney World or Disneyland every year (sometimes more than once a year) since as far back as I can remember. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nail Salon Near Me: Find Best Nail Salons Closest to ….

The Lost Apothecary was an amazing dual timeline narrative that will take you deep into the past then jump back to the present. As she deepens her search, Caroline’s life collides with Nella’s and Eliza’s in a stunning twist of fate-and not everyone will survive. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she can’t resist investigating, only to realize she’s found a link to the unsolved “apothecary murders” that haunted London over two centuries ago. ![]() In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husband’s infidelity. ![]() But when her new patron turns out to be a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, an unexpected friendship sets in motion a string of events that jeopardizes Nella’s world and threatens to expose the many women whose names are written in her register. Once a respected healer, Nella now uses her knowledge for a darker purpose-selling well-disguised poisons to desperate women who would kill to be free of the men in their lives. One cold February evening in 1791, at the back of a dark London alley in a hidden apothecary shop, Nella awaits her newest customer. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was in dialogue with history, learning from and building on his activist and literary forebears. Tim was a lifelong instigator, with sincere faith in personal transformation and communal agency. Tim embodied his roots, but he was also an anomaly, “a city kid born in a country body.” In 1975, he left for New York on a Greyhound bus to study Conceptualism at the School of Visual Arts. “Born and raised in the hills of central rural Maine, American pragmatism is built into my DNA,” he’d say.
