![]() I've received plenty of strange looks on public transport before for giggling at books madly (step forward My Family and Other Freaks by Carol Midgley and Have a Little Faith by Candy Harper) but I don't think I've ever got looks quite like the ones I did earlier today when I got to a particular point and without realising it must have said Oh good grief just tell her, tell her! out loud. However I decided to give this a go this evening on the way back from the theatre (just a week after buying it!) and absolutely devoured it, racing through it in around a couple of hours. With 90% of books I buy for Kindle, it takes me at least six months to get round to reading them. ![]() I picked this up on Kindle because it was only £1.99 and it looked fairly interesting. ![]() But Payton's realised she thinks of Kendall as more than a friend - does Kendall feel the same way about her, and can their feelings survive the craziness of Hollywood life? ![]() Flying the other girl out to keep her company in LA and help teach her music seems like a sensible thing to do.

The third volume of his six-volume fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire, A Storm of Swords continues Martin's vigorous account of the civil wars which follow the death of King Robert - the usurper who deposed a dynasty gone mad and dangerous - and the judicial murder by his widow and heir of Ned Stark, the man who made him king. ![]() ![]() ![]() While that term typically designates small, adorable book cabinets stationed along neighborhood sidewalks, the Book Nook is an inviting space of its own, furnished with a thick-cushioned chair, a roomy couch, soft lighting, and décor featuring Marton's own motivational quotes and poetry. Davis Center, the Book Nook is not your average Little Free Library. Located in a comfy corner of Brennan's Pub on the first floor of the Dudley H. Marton's recent retirement marks a new chapter for the Book Nook, the transformation from one man's passion project into a community-run endeavor. Jacques-Paul Marton joined the staff of the University of Vermont in 2007 as a custodian - a word the dictionary defines as "one that guards and protects or maintains." Marton, 66, has lived up to that definition on many levels: As the founder and steward of UVM's Book Nook since 2010, he cares for, protects and maintains a Little Free Library that has made a big mark on campus. ![]() ![]() ![]() Davila of California’s Northern District said he planned to declare a mistrial.Įach count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, terms that are likely to be served concurrently.

A jury of eight men and four women took 50 hours over seven days of deliberations to reach a verdict, convicting her of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud by lying to investors to raise money for her company. Holmes, who had once promised to revolutionize health care, was the most prominent executive to field fraud accusations in a generation of high-flying, money-losing start-ups. Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the failed blood testing start-up Theranos, was found guilty of four of 11 charges of fraud on Monday, in a case that came to symbolize the pitfalls of Silicon Valley’s culture of hustle, hype and greed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.

Sorting through my feelings over that breakup required a lot of introspection, because I blamed myself for not seeing the light sooner, and I was angry that someone would treat me the way she had.

In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth. The good news is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. It's not about carbon - it's about capitalism. Forget everything you think you know about global warming. Summary: Naomi Klein, author of the number 1 international bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, returns with This Changes Everything, a must-read on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political change. ![]() ![]() ![]() This unique addition allowed the image to be viewed with minimal obstruction of the objective mirror. He added to his reflector what is the hallmark of the design of a "Newtonian telescope", a secondary "diagonal" mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image at 90° angle to an eyepiece mounted on the side of the telescope. He chose a spherical shape for his mirror instead of a parabola to simplify construction: he had satisfied himself that the chromatic, and not the spherical aberration, formed the chief faults of refracting telescopes. He devised means for shaping and grinding the mirror and may have been the first to use a pitch lap to polish the optical surface. To create the primary mirror Newton used a custom composition of metal consisting of six parts copper to two parts tin, an early composition of speculum metal. The telescope he constructed used mirrors as the objective which bypass that problem. He had concluded that the lens of any refracting telescope would suffer from the dispersion of light into colours ( chromatic aberration). Isaac Newton built his reflecting telescope as a proof for his theory that white light is composed of a spectrum of colours. 19th century drawing of Newton's reflector ![]() ![]() ![]() When Derek begins to fall for the lovely Maya, he knows there's no future. ![]() The last thing he needs is a relationship with a beautiful, smart, complicated woman who will be leaving soon.
