![]() “White Fragility,” a book published in 2018 that gained immense popularity amid the protests following George Floyd’s death in May, examines the phenomenon of white fragility, defined as white people’s resistance to admitting they have racial biases and privileges. She doesn’t think so in short, she thinks you are racist. ![]() The answer is, in keeping true to ideologies of individualism and in light of DiAngelo being a white woman herself, you can’t. ![]() “How can I say that if you are white, your opinions on racism are most likely ignorant, when I don’t even know you?” diversity consultant and author Robin DiAngelo asks in the opening chapter of her wildly popular book “White Fragility.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality (pp. Because mind was an illusion and action at a distance was impossible, genuine psi phenomena were also impossible. The concept of mind, then viewed through the fledgling discipline of psychology, and especially its rising fad of behaviorism, was regarded as an illusion created by the clockwork mechanisms of the brain. It was taken for granted that reality existed in an absolute sense, independent of observers, and it was an additional token of faith that action at a distance was impossible. Radin’s multi-disciplinary background as well as personal experience may have given him a bit more insight to begin proposing a mechanism behind the magic.īasic physical concepts like time, space, energy, and matter were imagined to be fixed, absolute, and fundamentally different substances. ![]() What most impressed me about Dean Radin is that he goes beyond the now thoroughly established, if not well publicized, conclusion that PSI is real. I have read a number of other books that also review the large body of rigorous, repeatable lab studies that have demonstrated a measurable effect of PSI interaction over the last hundred years. I recently read the book Entangled Minds by Dean Radin. ![]() ![]() Casino Royale would be the one that got away from Eon productions, and after the success of four Sean Connery films, Charles K.

Meanwhile, while Fleming’s books grew in popularity he negotiated a better deal for the rights to all his other books with Albert R. ![]() These rights to Casino Royale eventually moved on to Gregory Ratoff and then Charles K. CBS paid Fleming $1,000 for the rights to bring Casino Royale to the screen in the Climax! episode. ![]() The second novel, ‘Live and Let Die’ actually came out about a month before the TV episode aired, which just shows how quickly everything happened in those first two years. This episode was aired only a year after Casino Royale, the first Bond novel, had been published, which goes to show how much of an immediate success Fleming had with the books. ![]() was the first Eon productions movie and the first ‘proper Bond movie’ in most people’s eyes, there had been an on screen appearance of the James Bond character earlier, in a 1954 TV episode of Climax! entitled ‘Casino Royale’. It will take time but I’m going to thoroughly enjoy the process.Īlthough Dr No. But I then added in reading all the original Ian Fleming novels for the first time too. ![]() I wanted to rewatch all the Bond movies in order, and rank them. At the start of the year, I gave myself a James Bond challenge. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, she also suffered from a rare form of OCD which wasn’t diagnosed until she was much older. For Traig was no “ordinary” teenager.įrom the ages of 12 to 18, Traig suffered from a slew of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD): the most common being the obsessive hand washing and several stints with anorexia. Yet in her debut memoir, Devil in the Details, Jennifer Traig makes a conscious decision to return to her California adolescence of the late 70s and early 80s – an adolescence that is at turns harrowing and humorous. But, invariably they do – with the former pubescents from Hell moving on to productive adult lives. It’s a wonder sometimes how both the teenagers and the parents survive. Endless hours on the telephone, picky eating habits, emotional outbursts. CLR Devil In DisguiseĪll parents of adolescents despair of them, particularly those with teenage daughters.

And when their captor implants a device in Liddi's vocal cords to monitor her speech, their lives are in her hands: One word, and her brothers are dead. Her older brothers have been caught as well, trapped in the conduits between the planets. Liddi escapes, only to be pulled into an interplanetary conspiracy more complex than she ever could have imagined. So when a group of men shows up at her house uninvited, she assumes it's just the usual media-grubs. But as the only daughter in the most powerful tech family in the galaxy, it's hard to escape it. Sixteen-year-old heiress and paparazzi darling Liddi Jantzen hates the spotlight. ![]() ![]() ![]() I could better believe a deity chose to hide a message inside the Fine-Structure Constant than in π.ĭid Carl Sagan ever provide an explanation for how a deity would embed hidden messages deep inside the value of π? Math itself must precede both the universe and anything or anyone that created it. Somebody as smart as Carl Sagan should know that the creator(s) of the universe can no more change the value of π than they can change any other fact. This not only provides evidence of her journey, but suggests that intelligence is behind the universe itself. When Ellie looks at what the computer has found, she sees a circle rasterized from 0's and 1's that appear after 10^20 places in the base 11 representation of π. ![]() Near the end of the book, Contact, by Carl Sagan, the main character is told there are messages hidden deep in the base-11 digits of π.Īcting on the suggestion of "Ted", Ellie works on a program to compute the digits of π to heretofore-unprecedented lengths. ![]() ![]() ![]() Damug kills Byral through treachery and takes over control of the army, which he commands to move inland.Īt Redwall Abbey, the inhabitants discover that the south wall is mysteriously sinking into the ground.

However, his father, Cornspurrey De Fformelo Tussock, will not hear of it. Tamello De Fformelo Tussock (or Tammo), a young hare who lives at Camp Tussock, longs to be part of the Long Patrol at Salamandastron. ![]() ![]() As the essayist Richard Rodriguez put it in Days of Obligation, “Indians must be ghosts,” for “Indians represented permanence and continuity to Americans who were determined to call this country new.” It’s not uncommon for Americans to claim Indigenous ancestry, often with no more evidence than a great-great-grandparent with “high cheekbones” - an epidemic of self-identification that some Indigenous scholars have called “ Cherokee syndrome.” Time and distance are key here: They allow for the distinction between native and settler to be collapsed, while preserving as much racial purity as possible. ![]() In the 1960s, countercultural movements adopted Native American dress and customs like peyote as markers of pre-industrial, pre-urbane simplicity. ![]() In horror movies, the trope of the Indian burial ground is deployed as a threat to the fantasy of white suburban innocence. Save some recent wins, like the Hulu series Reservation Dogs, Indigenous people have more often appeared in the American imaginary as relics of a conveniently distant past. popular culture could assume Native Americans were extinct.

Hannah doesn’t even think of Fox as a romantic possibility: He’s unbelievably handsome and effortlessly self-confident, while she often feels like a supporting actress in her own life. They bonded over a shared love of music when her sister fell in love with his best friend, and Hannah and Fox continue their friendship via text after she returned to Los Angeles, where she works as a production assistant. Imagine his surprise when he strikes up a friendship with Hannah Bellinger. He’s the life of the party and has convinced everyone-even himself-that he’s not capable of anything more.
