The woman in cabin 10 about6/7/2023 Very late that night, after a drunken Lo has fallen asleep, she’s awakened by what she thinks is the sound of a scream, soon followed by a loud splash. She’s struck by the apparent youth of yacht owner Lord Richard Bullmer, as well as the sickly appearance of his wife, Anne Bullmer, who’s been fighting cancer. The woman seems flustered and abruptly shuts the door in her face after giving her the mascara.ĭuring the first night’s networking dinner, Lo meets a number of fellow journalists, including her ex-boyfriend, Ben Howard, but she doesn’t see the girl again. She’s greeted by a surprised young woman wearing a ratty Pink Floyd T-shirt. On the first evening of the cruise, Lo knocks on the door of the neighboring cabin to borrow some mascara. She also uses alcohol to help her manage her anxiety. Before leaving for the cruise, she argues with her boyfriend, Judah, because she’s hesitant to move forward in their relationship, despite Judah waiting for months and turning down a New York job offer to stay with her.īy the time she’s welcomed aboard the Aurora, Lo is severely sleep-deprived and still suffering flashbacks to the burglary. After breaking her way out, she struggles with flashbacks and insomnia, but she’s determined not to miss her big break: covering the Aurora, a luxury yacht cruising the Norwegian fjords to see the northern lights, for the travel magazine Velocity. Laura “Lo” Blacklock, a 32-year-old travel journalist, is trapped in the bedroom of her London flat one night while a burglar ransacks her belongings. There is no god antony flew6/7/2023 Historically, many Christians have understood God’s transcendence to imply God’s properties categorically differ from any created properties. The primary focus is on Bertrand Russell, though other analytic philosophers such as Ayer, Neurath and Flew are also extensively discussed. Most analytic philosophers are atheists, but is there a deep connection between analytic philosophy and atheism? The paper argues a) that the founding fathers of analytic philosophy were mostly teenage atheists before they became philosophers b) that analytic philosophy was invented partly because it was realized that the God-substitute provided by the previously fashionable philosophy - Absolute Idealism – could not cut the spiritual mustard c) that analytic philosophy developed an unhealthy obsession with meaninglessness which led to a new kind of atheism that dismissed talk of God as factually meaningless (neither true nor false) rather than meaningful but false but d) that this new-fangled atheism (unlike the old-fashioned atheism of the founders) is false, since it relies on theories of meaning – verificationism and falsificationism – which are themselves false.

The choice of prototype will vary greatly depending on goals of the testing, completeness of the design, tools used to create the prototype, and resources available to help before and during the usability tests. static (requiring a person to manipulate different pages and act as a “computer”) multipage with enough menus, screens, and click targets that the user can completely finish a task There are many types of prototypes, ranging anywhere between any of these pairs of extremes: The most straightforward way to test this hypothesis is to watch users work with it. A user interface prototype is a hypothesis - a candidate design solution that you consider for a specific design problem. Bloodsounder's arc6/6/2023 This is the first entry in the aforementioned series chronologically. His debut book has since been expounded to form the Shadow Ops series. Myke Cole has penned several series of books. Another pastime is writing furiously, especially when he is seething with anger. To wind down, he reads fantasy and comic books, and plays late-night role-playing games. His career might sound illustrious, but it has been nerve-wracking for Myke Cole. Lastly, he is among the cast on a TV program running on CBS. Third, he has been a security contractor. Secondly, he served in the military wherein he was dispatched to Iraqi battlefields thrice currently, he holds the rank of a lieutenant in the US Coast Guard and resumed active service during disasters such as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon marine oil spill and past natural disasters such as hurricanes. For instance, he has been a federal law enforcer with the New York Police Department. Myke Cole, whose writing career is illustrious, juggles different jobs. Cole was born in New York, the US, and presently resides in Brooklyn upon New York. Myke Cole is an American penman whose literary works have been greatly inspired by his military service, working for intelligence agencies, and stint as a law enforcer. It is during one of these that Hal reveals his plot to the audience - he is playing the part of the foolish prince so that people will not expect much of him that way, when he finally reveals himself as the great thinker and fighter he is, he will look much better by comparison.Įventually, the political tensions come to a head and the two sides face off in the Battle of Shrewsbury. Hal's best friend is the old, fat, wily Sir John Falstaff, a bombastic drunk who provides much of the play's comedy.Īs King Henry and the Percy family wage a tense political battle, Hal and Falstaff get themselves into a number of comic situations. His son, Prince Harry (known as "Hal"), is a seeming good-for-nothing lout who surrounds himself with drunkards and rogues and rejects the royal life, preferring to play pranks and chase women. Looming war isn't King Henry's only problem, though. It is not to be, as some of his former allies plot to overthrow him- chief among them the Percy family, whose son Harry (known as "Hotspur") is one of the greatest warriors in England. It actually also relates to two other Shakespearean plays- Richard II (which it follows) and Henry V (which it precedes).įollowing the events in Richard II, Henry Bolingroke, now King Henry IV, wishes to wage a crusade to cleanse himself of the sin of Richard's death. It is the first in a duology, the second being Henry IV, Part 2. The miniaturist story6/6/2023 Yes, it's a zombie novel, but it's like nothing you've ever read.īen H. The only catch: they have to avoid herds of "hungries" along the way. Cast out of their secluded barracks after an attack by a rebel faction, unlikely compatriots-a handful of soldiers, a teacher, a doctor and a young girl named Melanie-flee across what was once England, hoping to find refuge near the former London. Carey's The Girl with All the Gifts just want to survive. Where Lepucki's characters aim to build a utopia, the people in M.R. And it worked! Lepucki's novel takes place in a California devastated by natural disasters, with a cast of characters aiming to build a utopian society, and is complex, multilayered and downright compelling. And while we wait eagerly for the final volume in Justin Cronin's Passage trilogy, a dose of new dystopia can't possibly hurt.Įdan Lepucki's California made headlines when Stephen Colbert urged his viewers to make it a bestseller in the midst of the Amazon-Hachette battle. Some authors are doing incredible things in this genre, inventing worlds strikingly like our own and yet terrifyingly different, worlds that capture the imagination in new and interesting ways. Think dystopian novels are played out? Think again. Lost at Sea follows Raleigh, a shy and introverted 18-year-old Canadian high school student stranded in California while meeting a guy she met online. Either way, the coming-of-age story arc is a relatable testament to the good aspects of the picture and is a motif deeply rooted in its graphic novel predecessor, Lost at Sea. Whether those lessons stuck with him is still up for debate because even after beating Gideon Graves and running off with Ramona Flowers, he doesn't defeat "Nega Scott" and instead opts to get brunch with him later. As a result, it isn't until Scott learns something from his mistakes and gains some self-respect that he can overcome his limitations and atone for the wrongs he committed to his friends and ex, Knives Chau. Its shout-outs to the music floating around Toronto at the time and the nerdy Easter eggs that speak to geek culture developed the "cult following" that doesn't seem to let this film and its characters go, especially with the inclusion of a narrative predominantly focused on growth. However, despite Scott Pilgrim's problems, the way it communicates the essence of the era through an imaginative and bizarre video game and comic-fueled lens makes the movie work.

Wake the Wicked by Christian Baloga6/5/2023 Confusion ensues: is he being threatened? Is this imagination? Are they one in the same? The music swells with a swirling cut to a darkened room where the vagrant now leers toward the camera. “I filmed, edited the video, did the special effects makeup, and wrote the script/storyboard,” he said when asked about the nuts and bolts of the project.Ī man walks alone in the forest, and encounters a strange looking vagrant. Shot by Baloga himself at nearby locations, the trailer speaks to his passions and diverse résumé. Wanting to share a bit of the process with horror fans, I contacted author Christian Baloga who was happy to discuss why he made it, and how it came about. If I liked the title I might scan through a terrible trailer to the last frames for the newsy information. Too many trailers I turn off at fifteen seconds. I made it through of course, then watched it again. So, of course I checked out the trailer and was impressed. Perhaps it is a no-brainier title for a single author collection, but the hammer ‘Wake the Wicked’ I liked even more. I love twisted things, and tales even more so. The title alone sparked instant adoration. While hunting for great book trailers, this one really caught my eye. “On December 21, 2012, Baloga fulfilled his lifelong dream of writing, designing, and publishing his first book, “Wake the Wicked: Thirteen Twisted Tales,” edited by Michael Garrett, editor for the most successful writers of our time: Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, Richard Matheson…” from |
