![]() ![]() ![]() This was the life.Inside the office, Sergeant Hanks's superior, Inspector Sussworth, was not enjoying himself. As the curved nail of his index finger dug into something soft and spongy his eyes closed with the joy of an exquisite physical pleasure, and when, at last, the moist and luxuriant bogey was pulled reluctantly away from its tenacious root and coaxed out into the light, Hanks just half opened a single eye and examined his trophy with a close and professional interest.'Hmm,' he said, 'first class that one, looks like a well-fed whelk.' And he stuck it under his chair and crossed his fat ankles in utter contentment. He had excavated very successfully for ten minutes in the left nostril and he was now delving in the right one. 1Sergeant Hanks of the Metropolitan Police and second in command of the Special Borrible Group sat on a chair outside the office of the District Assistant Commissioner and picked his nose in a state of unalloyed rapture. ![]() ![]() "My mother, my mother - where would my stories be without her?" she has said of the rich vein of humor she has mined from her family. She very early found pleasure in telling lively stories to others about her own experiences, many of them humorous, and many focused on her often embarrassing but always endearing mother. In the chaos of the Cuban Revbolution, she and her family emigrated to the United States and settled in Decatur, Georgia, where she grew up. And in 2010, her book "14 Cows for America" was chosen for inclusion on the Georgia Center for the Book's list of "25 Books All Young Georgians Should Read."Ĭarmen Agra Deedy was born in 1960 in Havana, Cuba. ![]() Her work now appears in English and Spanish editions simultaneously to the delight of tens of thousands of readers. ![]() ![]() She serves as an unofficial but passionate and witty ambassador for Spanish culture.

By skilful misdirection he drew the attention of readers away from weaknesses in the project. He had used the science of the day to construct a literary conjuring trick, a hoax, one of the most successful in all history. Curiously, however, Verne is unlikely to have thought it possible that a manned projectile could actually be fired out of a giant cannon, rising higher than the Moon, swinging around it, and then landing safely back on Earth. Directly inspired by Verne’s story, enthusiasts worked successfully at overcoming the practical difficulties, and within a century, human beings did indeed fly to the Moon. In From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, Jules Verne turned the ancient fantasy of space flight into a believable technological possibility – an engineering dream for the industrial age. The popularity of his novels led directly to modern science fiction. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was internationally famous as the author of novels based on ‘extraordinary voyages.’ His visionary use of new travel technologies inspired his readers to look to the industrial future rather than the remote past for their dreams of adventure. He was one of the first authors to write science fiction. Readers of Jules Vernes early science-fiction classic From the Earth to the Moon (De la terre à la lune) which left the Baltimore Gun Clubs bullet-shaped projectile, along with its three passengers and dog, hurtling through space had to wait a whole five years before learning the fate of its heroes. ![]() Jules Verne (Febru March 24, 1905) was a French writer.

What TV shows are affected by the writers strike? Talk shows, late night, 'SNL' go dark What does that mean for the TV shows and movies you love to watch? Here's how the strike will impact network TV, streaming series and movies. While the labor dispute goes on, work in Hollywood is grinding to a halt. The strike comes 15 years after the guild walked off for 100 days in 20, and in that time the entertainment industry has been upending by the rise of streaming services like Netflix. The strike comes after weeks of negotiations failed to generate a contract between the guild and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which bargains on behalf of the nine largest studios. Looking for a Hollywood writer? They're probably on the picket line.Īt 12:01 a.m., the Writers Guild of America, the union representing most writers for film and TV in the U.S., went on strike, bringing production to a screeching halt. ![]() ![]() ![]() I love that even though he seemed so perfect for Amy, Heather Davis made him have problems too. Henry is that good, respectable, country boy that EVERY girl dreams about. She goes to get away from things and ends up meeting Henry. ![]() She is a realistic girl who is going through real and painful things. ![]() The character of Amy is just so relate-able. It seemed different though, and I like different. When I read the synopsis of this book, I thought it sounded really strange. I don’t even know how to begin this review. But when the past and present come crashing together, both of them must find the courage to face what is meant to be, even if it means losing each other forever. Henry and his world become Amy’s refuge and she begins to learn that some moments are worth savoring. In the clearing at the back of Aunt Mae’s property, she makes an amazing discovery-Henry, a boy stuck in the endless summer of 1944. Synopsis: Amy, a sixteen-year-old recovering from an abusive relationship, moves to the country to start a new life with her aunt–all she wants is for everything to be different. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kahn wasn’t the first rich businessman to be seduced by this new technology (which was exclusively expensive). Autochrome plates, which produced the first-ever full-colour photographs, had only recently been made available commercially by their inventors, the Lumière brothers. On his return to Paris the following year, Kahn attended a magic-lantern projection of slides showing scenes from Algiers and other parts of North Africa in dazzling colour. The trip was, in a sense, a trial run for what was to come. ![]() The trio’s journey from France to the United States, Japan and China and back via Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean was recorded in 3,500 stereoscopic plates and 1.5 hours of film. He also sent him to Pathé Studios for lessons in moving-image making. In the months leading up to their departure, Kahn had sent Dutertre to train with a specialist in taking photographs and developing photographic plates. But this was no ordinary business trip and his young chauffeur, Albert Dutertre, wasn’t there to drive. Accompanying him were his business manager and his chauffeur. In November 1908, a wealthy French banker named Albert Kahn set off on a trip around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I do keep some garden “frost blankets” on hand in case of need. Our cold spells are rarely so cold that outside plants are actually threatened, as long as one takes some simple measures. I also clustered pots on the ground together as a small measure of protection. I’m thankful that we were able to get some needed masonry done in our garden before the cold temperatures and precipitation and I was able to run around and add mulch to the root zone of some precious plants. ![]() Today is Friday, January 21, and we had snow a few days ago!

Here is a story of unlikely friendships and how they can change our lives forever. Sugar soon realizes that she must be the one to bridge the cultural gap and bring the community together. As she befriends young Beau and elder Master Liu, they introduce her to the traditions of their culture, and she, in turn, shares the ways of plantation life. The older River Road folks feel threatened, but Sugar is fascinated. Sugar has always yearned to learn more about the world, and she sees her chance when Chinese workers are brought in to help harvest the cane. Thankfully, Sugar has a knack for finding her own fun, especially when she joins forces with forbidden friend Billy, the white plantation owner's son. Slavery is over, but laboring in the fields all day doesn't make her feel very free. ![]() Ten-year-old Sugar lives on the River Road sugar plantation along the banks of the Mississippi.
