The iliad book 26/6/2023 Your chance of capturing the Trojans’ town with its broad streets has come the immortals that live on Olympus no longer divided on that issue. He tells you to prepare your long-haired Greeks for battle at once. Listen to me now and understand that I come from Zeus who, far off as he is, is much concerned on your behalf and pities you. It is not right for one in potency who has an army in his charge, a man with much on his mind, to sleep all night. “ You sleep, son of wise horse-tamer Atreus. Zeus sends a dream to Agamemnon that promises victory over Troy if Agamemnon attacks his men. He then decided that the best way would be to send Agamemnon, son of Atreus a destructive dream. He was wondering how to honor Achilles and have the Greeks slaughtered in multitudes by their ships. The other gods and the fighting men slept through the night, but Zeus had no such soothing sleep. He warned her to sit down and keep quiet unless she wants to be hurt. The first chapter of “The ILIAD” by Homer ended with the rage of Zeus to the ox-eyed Hera.

Steve nison books6/6/2023 Journalist Charles Dow (1851-1902) compiled and closely analyzed American stock market data, and published some of his conclusions in editorials for The Wall Street Journal. In Asia, technical analysis is said to be a method developed by Homma Munehisa during the early 18th century which evolved into the use of candlestick techniques, and is today a technical analysis charting tool. Some aspects of technical analysis began to appear in Amsterdam-based merchant Joseph de la Vega's accounts of the Dutch financial markets in the 17th century. The principles of technical analysis are derived from hundreds of years of financial market data. The efficacy of technical analysis is disputed by the efficient-market hypothesis, which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable, and research on whether technical analysis offers any benefit has produced mixed results. As a type of active management, it stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory. In finance, technical analysis is an analysis methodology for analysing and forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. With Child by Laurie R. King6/6/2023 I was never so happy in my life as when there were two versions on television and one in theaters. In the 56 stories Conan Doyle wrote, the man who knew everything about everybody, who could deduce 17 things from a bit of mud and a cigarette end revealed so little of himself that he became the greatest mystery of them all. There’s a reason Holmes is the most oft-adapted character in literary history. I regularly re-read the ragged paperback boxed set of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous tales that I got when I was child, and from the moment I saw “The Seven-Per-Cent Solution” (at age 10, in a theater), I have wandered far and often among the Holmesian pastiche. I can’t wait to see Millie Bobby Brown play Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister. Can someone please explain to me how Enola Holmes got a movie before Mary Russell did?ĭon’t get me wrong. Come fly the world6/5/2023 Woodstock author Julia Cooke has a personal connection to their story: Her father was an attorney at Pan Am until 1992. It also came with considerable danger, as planes flew in and out of war zones, not to mention blatantly sexist regulations regarding female employees' age, appearance and marital status. The coveted job with the exclusively international American airline afforded women financial independence and freedom to travel. While this certainly was part of the job, the stewardesses working for Pan American World Airways were, in fact, breaking ground for other women flight attendants of the future. What image comes to mind when you think of an airline stewardess from the 1960s or '70s? Maybe it's a conventionally beautiful woman in a trim uniform, smiling as she serves coffee to men in suits.

Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams sets out to uncover the science behind nature’s positive effects on the brain.

The Lost Crown by Sarah Miller (Atheneum, 2011) Lately, I have been picking good books so it’s been good reading times for me.

The silmarillion 1st edition6/4/2023 Tolkien was a professor at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford for almost forty years, teaching Old and Middle English, as well as Old Norse and Gothic. He illustrated many scenes from The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, sometimes drawing or painting as he was writing in order to visualize the imagined scene more clearly. He excelled at landscapes and often drew inspiration from his own stories. Tolkien was an accomplished amateur artist who painted for pleasure and relaxation. Through this secondary world Tolkien writes perceptively of universal human concerns – love and loss, courage and betrayal, humility and pride – giving his books a wide and enduring appeal. Tolkien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples. His creativity, confined to his spare time, found its outlet in fantasy works, stories for children, poetry, illustration and invented languages and alphabets. Known to millions around the world as the author of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien spent most of his life teaching at the University of Oxford where he was a distinguished academic in the fields of Old and Middle English and Old Norse.

Rose szabo what big teeth6/4/2023 As a teen, I can remember meeting other young queer women who were in the closet and we always bounced off each other in these really horrible ways. If you'd met Eleanor as a teen, would you have been friends? I ended up really using that idea to flesh out how I thought about the characters, considering what their relationships were to assimilation since all the grandparents in What Big Teeth are immigrants. And one of the things that came up a lot was the idea that Dracula was frightening because he was a monster who could assimilate-that he was rich, spoke perfect English, and had a country estate outside of London. I read Dracula, and then I read a bunch of essays about Dracula. What's the most interesting thing you learned while researching What Big Teeth ?
