The research question was asked again but in a different context. 68 respondents chose the Internet-only subscription, while the remaining 32 respondents chose the Internet + print subscription. In a study, 100 respondents were asked to choose one of three kinds of subscriptions to The Economist magazine - Internet-only for $59 or Internet + print for $125. This is “relativity.” It is how we “know” that a 6-cylinder car model is more expensive than the 4-cylinder version. Our minds take decisions within specific contexts, comparing and weighing the advantages of one thing or option over the other. We don’t know what we want unless we see it “in context.” For example, our role models and our mentors inspire our life and career choices. Predictably Irrational - The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely 1. 5/22/2023 0 Comments A little life near meBecause of their heads’ broad shape, hammerhead sharks are more easily able to sense prey like stingrays that are buried in the sand. Scalloped hammerhead sharks have a head that looks like, well, a hammer, with one eye located on each end. Rininger / Courtesy Monterey Bay Aquarium A hammerhead shark may look ominous, but in the wild they have no beef with humans. But the afternoon I spoke to her, Fodor would be helping with the aquarium’s hammerhead sharks. Which would mean one thing if she would be diving into a tank of octopuses or cute little clownfish. In her job, she monitors animals’ health, cleans their exhibits, and feeds them, which can include diving into their tanks. “An aquarist is someone who is responsible for taking care of the fish and invertebrates at the aquarium,” Fodor explains – it’s another word for an aquarium keeper.

He is currently studying Applied Computer Science while working as a freelance Graphic Designer and Marketing Assistant.Īside from his studies, Michiel is an up-and-coming author, having started out writing short Sci-Fi stories on various online platforms before finally taking the next step.

Michiel Werbrouck was born in Oxford, UK but grew up in the Belgian city of Leuven. The characters in Asylum are far too one dimensional. However, the book itself is not strong enough to hold them there for long. That cover is sure to pull in any horror fan. Feeling a strange connection to the building's history and suffering from nightmares that don't always come at night, Dan and his new friends begin to explore the bowels of the building and find that there are some secrets that should stay buried. He soon discovers that the dorm in which they are to spend the summer is actually Brookside, a former asylum that featured drastic experiments meant to cure the criminally insane. At New Hampshire College Prep, a summer program for teens, he is excited to spend his days with students that share his thirst for knowledge and geeky tendencies. The Gist: Dan Crawford has finally escaped the opression of his foster home and high school. Asylum is just far too common - a Goodreads search provides 837 results. Although, I do wish they had given the book a more stand-out name. The shadows draw your eye into the frame and the blurring coupled with the lace adds the perfect spooky factor. I believe this is the final cover and it is a great change. The first one that I saw had similar shading but just featured a set of keys. This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesĬover Impressions: This cover is awesome. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Piet oudolf landscapesAround 30,000 plants will be used, among which are examples with such enigmatic names as Persicaria amplexicaulis, Echinacea pallida or Molinia caerulea. The same can be said of the basic outline of Oudolf's project for the Vitra Campus. This requires meticulous organization, a very precise timetable and an exhaustive search for the right plants and their possible suppliers, apart from a plantation project that, in the case of Piet OudoIf, is a work of art in itself.Ī new garden by Piet Oudolf, on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. Rather, he strives for a balanced composition or, as he calls it, A "community" of plants with different strengths and weaknesses and different flowering periods and life cycles, so that the garden offers a sensory experience throughout the year and maintain its beauty both in the months of splendor and in those of decline. However, its gardens are not wild at all. "I'm just trying to make people's fantasies come true," he said. His designs play with certain social ideas about the concept of "the wild". What Oudolf's projects have in common is the idea of a landscape that seems wild and untamed, but that in reality could not exist without meticulous planning and equally careful maintenance. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Here be sexist vampires seriesTASTE OF TORMENT: It’s been five months since vampire Sam Parker Bound herself to Jared Michaels, her powerful co-commander within the Grand High Master vampire’s personal legion. On the upside, things couldn’t possibly be any worse, could they? There’s a guarded fiancé to crack, a complicated assignment to deal with, Jared’s ex to alienate, and a bunch of snobbish Master Vampires to win over – or offend, whichever. Unfortunately, she seems to be asking too much of fate, because suddenly she’s lumbered with a number of distractions that have the potential to postpone, or even cancel, the Binding. THE BITE THAT BINDS: It’s just over a week until Sam will be Binding with Jared, and the only thing she wants is to spend that time relaxing and preparing for the ceremony. Most refuse to take her seriously, especially a Pagori commander named Jared who she craves in spite of herself. She finds that not only has the army never included a woman, but it has never included a Sventé vampire a breed that is regarded by the super strong Pagori breed and the hypnotically beautiful Keja breed to be too tame and human-like. HERE BE SEXIST VAMPIRES: Sam Parker is a vampire with a gift so strong and substantial that she is invited to partake in a test for a place in the Grand High Master Vampire’s private army. When I first picked up this book I believed it was going to be of a YA nature as it is likened to Trudi Canavan and Sarah J. We mainly follow Mehr's third person point of view perspective although there are three other interludes that are presented from another two views that bridge small gaps within the progression of the narrative. Unfortunately for Mehr, who can perform magical dances and rites during the tempest, the Emperor's feared mystics are searching for anyone who can wield magic for reasons unbeknown to most but these shamans are normally taken away never to be seen again. As the cover says: 'Magic is in her blood.' The Daiva, ancient Daiva and worse creatures known as nightmares are currently behind the veil of reality but when the frequent storms arrive the otherworldly beings come with it. Mehr's mother's clan were outcasts who worshipped the spirits of the sands and some have a form of magic beneath their skin. Mehr has dealt with these beings before and knows that an offer of blood will guarantee them peace well, at least for a limited amount of time. It begins when a Daiva which is sort of a winged and taloned spirit invades the castle and infiltrates Mehr's younger sister's room, who is terrified as a young child would be. In Empire of Sand, the original and excellent South Asian influenced fantasy debut of Tasha Suri's we follow the action of Mehr who is an illegitimate but highborn daughter of a governor of the Ambham Empire. I received an uncorrected proof copy in exchange for an honest review. So the idea is that you’re being interrogated and being probed for why you’re doing what you’re doing, why you believe what you believe. Part of that verse is to always be ready to give an answer when asked. Within the context of 1 Peter, it’s actually when Christians undergo suffering. And so it is in meaning to provide a reasonable defense with connotations of a legal case for why the Christian believes what the Christian believes. Now, Peter picks up that language in his epistle, in 1 Peter 3:15, which is sort of the classical apologetics verse where he says, “Always be ready to give an answer.” And that word to give an answer is an apologia. And so I think the first place we see the word used is in Plato’s Apology, where he’s telling the story of Socrates to give essentially a legal defense, which he calls an apology. In part one of this conversation, we talked about the “why” behind apologetics.Ĭhris Queen: What’s a good quick definition of apologetics?Įvan Posey: I guess to be a little bit historical, the word “apologetics” has a biblical basis, but it also has sort of a Greek philosophical basis. I’ve known Evan and his family for years, and he has given apologetics seminars at my home church.
