"We were constantly going to Paris' house," Nick Prugo, one of the robbers, says in the trailer. ![]() BTW: A new Netflix series, The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist, gives viewers get an inside look into the group that decided to help itself to Paris’s riches. In fact, she’s so wealthy that a group dubbed “The Bling Ring” repeatedly robbed Paris in a string of high-profile celebrity burglaries during the early aughts.

The Michi Saagiig oral tradition has within it stories of Wendat and Rotinonhsesh:ka /Haudenosaunee coming to us and asking to hunt or farm in our territory during times of famine. In times of hardship, we did not rely to any great degree on accumulated capital or individualism but on the strength of our relationships with others. My Ancestors didn’t accumulate capital, they accumulated networks of meaningful, deep, fluid, intimate collective and individual relationships of trust. Watching hunters and ricers harvest and live is the epitome of not just anticapitalism but societies where consent, empathy, caring, sharing, and individual self-determination are centered. ![]() ![]() There is an assumption that socialism and communism are white and that Indigenous peoples don’t have this kind of thinking. ![]() ![]() ![]() There was a blinding light.Īnd then all was quiet. "Lizard, lizard, could you change Willy into a mouse like me?" "The moon is round, the pebble found," said the lizard. The leaves rustled and there stood the lizard. "Lizard, lizard, in the bush," he ( Alexander) called quickly. ![]() but when a box full of throwaway toys threatens to separate them forever, it takes a wily lizard and a full moon to set the story right. Said toy mouse (Willy) and real mouse (Alexander) meet and mutual sparks of admiration fly. A Velveteen Rabbit/Toy Story-ish tale about a real mouse and a fake mouse and a psychedelic lizard that used to scare the bejesus out of me. ![]() So, without further chitchat, I give you one of the books that I most remember from my own youth. Even when the selection might seem pretty obvious to me, lots of folks out there might not have the same feeling and posting a book like this could reunite it with a long lost love. ![]() Though I do try and stick with obscure finds and books readers might not have seen in a while, every now and again I have to give props to the classics. ![]() ![]() Many decades ago, Reid suffered an accident while in the Navy that left him with a bum shoulder, a condition that, while not acutely painful, became increasingly bothersome as he aged. Based on his own experience and research, "The Healing of America" is both readable and informative. ![]() Reid has done a service to his nation by showing in his latest book just how uninformed this conventional wisdom is. "They do it by rationing care, by long waiting lines, and by limiting, or I should say eliminating, a patient's choice." T.R. ![]() "These countries that say they provide universal coverage - they pay a price for it, you know," Giuliani told his audience. From The Washington Post's Book World/ Reviewed by Phillip Longman During last year's Republican presidential primary season, candidate Rudy Giuliani succinctly captured what millions of Americans think about health care abroad. ![]() ![]() ![]() If kids can’t explore hard truths in books, where can they explore them?Īnd crucially, this story provides a safe place for that exploration. ![]() The book is honest, at times brutally so, for good reason. ![]() Transgender and nonbinary people, told that we don’t exist, and don’t deserve the same rights as everyone else.” Black people like me, arrested and killed because of the color of their skin. Moon appreciates that adults try to shield kids from reality, but argues that “there isn’t any point in hiding from the truth when I see it everywhere. (Bree Barton’s “Zia Erases the World” and Christine Day’s “The Sea in Winter” are also great examples.)Ĭallender is unflinching, too, in how they write about the intersection of Moon’s mental health and racial and gender identity. “Moonflower” addresses childhood depression without flinching, contributing to a small but growing space in children’s literature. In little over a decade, the number of adolescents who’ve reported a major depressive episode has risen by 60 percent, bringing it to more than one in 10. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Is he visionary or madman, patriot or traitor? Dead or alive? Or, somehow, all of the above? Because the reader perceives the Colonel (as he is reverently known) through the eyes of other characters, he shimmers like a kaleidoscope of shifting impressions. There are echoes here of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (particularly as transformed by Francis Ford Coppola into Apocalypse Now) and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, yet Johnson’s achievement suggests that each generation gets the war-and the war novel-it deserves.Īt the center of Johnson’s epic sprawl is Colonel Francis Sands, the novel’s Captain Ahab, a character of profound, obsessive complexity and contradiction. Tree of Smoke is less concerned with any individual war than with the nature of war, and with the essence of war novels. Yet Denis Johnson has bigger whales to land in his longest and most ambitious work to date. Within the current political climate, the reader might expect a new novel about the war in Vietnam to provide a metaphor for Iraq. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gilman was writing out of her own agonising experience: five years earlier, and felled by postnatal depression following the birth of her daughter, she had been sent for treatment to America’s leading expert in women’s mental health, Dr Silas Weir Mitchell. In line with fashionable medical practice, “John” has prescribed a radical rest cure that involves separating the narrator from her small baby and confining her to the top-floor nursery of a rented country house: “I … am absolutely forbidden to ‘work’ until I am well again.” Actually, the diagnosis has been made by her husband, who also happens to be “a physician of high standing”. ![]() ![]() The short story takes the form of a secret diary written by a young married woman who is suffering from a “temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency”. “T he Yellow Wallpaper” by the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman created feminist fireworks the moment it appeared in the January 1892 edition of the New England Magazine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Junto a un equipo de investigadores, ha estudiado durante más de cuarenta años la comunidad de chimpancés del Parque Nacional de Gombe, en Tanzania, por lo que se la considera la mayor autoridad mundial en el estudio de estos animales. Please help me save the little pangolin.” Ma’s ground-level views of fuzzy-looking forest creatures with wide, expressive eyes add visual appeal to the narrative’s moral one, and along with notes on pangolin anatomy and behavior, the afterword includes an extensive list of multimedia resources and a set of suggested activities for motivated young eco-activists. Jane Goodall es una de las principales activistas para la conservación de nuestro planeta. ![]() Someone who would pull off all my fingernails to use for no-good medicine. Other than adding unexpected nuance by claiming that the trafficker “just needs to make money so he can feed his children,” the author doesn’t expend much effort developing her scenario-trotting in a captured civet to explain to Pangolina in her cage that her scales are going to be pulled off for “Human medicine,” and then cranking up reader indignation with a human child who enacts a timely rescue: “Suppose it was me being sold for someone to eat. ![]() ![]() Gr 2-4–Boldly designed to alert younger readers to the plight of the world’s most trafficked mammal-or, as she posits in her factual afterword, species of any sort-Goodall has a young Chinese pangolin describe early days riding the tail of her termite-eating mother, her capture and rescue, and later life in a sanctuary. ![]() |
