I bet that picture shows him e-mailing CNN, trying to get his own show.įollowing Vindman’s bullshit opinion masquerading as testimony before the House, he was removed from his National Security position at the White House but retained his rank in the U.S. My family and I look forward to the next chapter of our lives. Today I officially requested retirement from the US Army, an organization I love. He just announced his retirement from the Army, citing bullying from Trump for his decision. In other words he betrayed his Commander-in-Chief to help a partisan coup attempt. His testimony, that had Adam Schiff and company creaming their jeans, was that it was his opinion that Trump made improper remarks to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky but brought no new or relevant evidence. Alexander Vindman was the star witness for democrats in their impeachment effort against President Trump.

Moreover, through walking the Shin path, Jeff comes see that each of us (himself especially included) are truly ''foolish beings,'' people so filled with endlessly arising ''blind passions'' and ingrained habits that we so easily cause harm even with our best intentions. Shin emphasizes an ''entrusting heart,'' a heart that is able to receive with gratitude every moment of our mistake-filled and busy lives. And so he turned to Shin Buddhism-a path that is easily the most popular in Zen's native land of Japan but is largely unknown in the West. But in Jeff's case, rather than freeing him from his suffering, he found those Zen practices made him nothing short of insufferable. Jeff Wilson started his walk on the Buddha's Path as a Zen practitioner-taking up a tradition of vigorous self-effort, intensive meditation, and meticulous attention to rectitude in every action.

Brief Summary of Book: Ark by Veronica Roth In Veronica Roth’s Ark, the first in the series, scientists are cataloging plant life a few days before the literal end of the world. They weren’t even able to properly relish in the memory of a burning ring of light against the grayish blue of the clearing sky. No one wanted to look into those cold blue eyes and ask forgiveness. Each one wanted to say something, maybe they should say sorry, or that they didn’t realize what an awful thing it was at the moment, but no one said those things. They all felt guilt heavier than ten tons of uranium tossed on their shoulders. The other children wouldn’t look into her eyes. Then she would open her eyes and realize for the millionth time that Venus was her home, and that for another seven years, she would never see the sun hidden behind the devastating clouds. All she thought about was the smell of cut grass lawns in the summer time, warm sun beating down on her face, blue skies, and a soft tickling breeze. She no longer tried to tame the desperate longing that her heart desired to feel the sun. Though no shadow was darker, no darkness blacker, no deeper shade of loathing and pain was reflected, than those of that in the eyes of Margot. The shadows that lurked outside crept into every crack on the inside. Even the rain probably knew that it was doing something wrong by never stopping to fall, destroy, and rebuild in its endless cycle. Nothing was exactly the same after that day. " shows us true lovetwo teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordealsand it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach." - New York Times Book Review He writes for youth, rather than to them, and the difference is palpable .You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book." - NPR "Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization.

Boys and girls come to Momo’s amphitheatre to play, knowing that each game they invent while Momo is there will be better than the last.īut then the gray men come, men with gray cars, gray suits, gray briefcases, and gray cigars. Grown-ups come to her, pouring out their problems and their conflicts, and – without Momo saying a word – go away knowing what they have to do. Momo is so good at listening that it almost qualifies as a magical gift. And all she gives them in return is a listening ear. Her only food and home furnishings are things other people have brought her. In fact, Momo lives in the space under the stage of an old, ruined amphitheatre outside an unnamed Italian city. She does not live in an orphanage or foster home. Momo is the name of a little girl who has no parents or guardian. And third, its setting and characters have the warmth and vitality of Italy and Italians viewed through the eyes of love. Maxwell Brownjohn, whom I take to be the same as John Brownjohn, translator of Mimus (by Lilli Thal) and other German-to-English marvels. Second, it comes to us in English through the very gifted J. First, it is a beautiful, thrilling, and thought-provoking fantasy conceived by a great storyteller. This tells you three very special things about this story. The author of The Neverending Story wrote this book in the German language, while living in Italy. Despite those dark, satanic malls, England delights him. Bryson also has an eye, unsurpassed by that of Prince Charles himself, for nasty architecture, especially shopping centers. "Bradford's role in life," he notes, "is to make every place else look better in comparison, and it does this very well." "Blackpool's Illuminations," he says, "are nothing if not splendid, and they are not splendid." British Rail and the ubiquitous Marks & Spencer are not favorites, either. Of course, not all he encountered was wonderful. And who wouldn't smile broadly wandering through the environs of Horton in Ribblesdale or Giggleswick or journeying to Milton Keynes (which is, be assured, a place, not an economist)? The main trick to successful hiking, the author knows, is to take a bus or train or rent a car frequently between the beds and breakfasts-the latter being full English and full cholesterol. As always, he found most of the towns and the hummocks very much to his liking, indeed. Before returning to his native America, Bryson launched himself on a seven-week peregrination through the hills and dells, the High Streets and hedgerows of England, Wales, and Scotland. After two decades as a resident of England, Bryson (Made in America, 1995, etc.) bids a very fond farewell to that sceptered isle, to that promontory of clotted cream. Speaking with Blake, he agreed and while getting back to the playoffs was good and closing the gap in the series was good, the Kings now need to find a way to win the series, not just compete in it. That firmly changed this year and a first-round exit now, or at any point moving forward, is not an acceptable outcome in the eyes of this group. There’s never a feeling of being content that comes with an exit in Round 1, but last year for example, there was still some of a “happy to get in” mindset. The players made their voices clear yesterday that they believe the Kings are entering a window in which they believe they can compete for a championship. McLellan signed a five-year contract with the organization back in 2019, with comments from both parties in yesterday’s story, available HERE.įor now, we’ve got the full interviews with both Blake and McLellan embedded below for your viewing pleasure and a few of the takeaways I found to be the overarching themes pulled out with relevant quotes and comments. First things first, Blake indicated that McLellan will be the team’s Head Coach next season for the fifth year of his contract. Sharing exit interviews with General Manager Rob Blake and Head Coach Todd McLellan. Beckett never dated her paintings and this has made the dating of her work very difficult for art historians and curators. Across this period, she created only oil paintings and the changes in her painting approach and subject matter are very subtle. Spanning sixteen years, Clarice Beckett’s active professional career was relatively brief for a major artist. The curator may choose to include drawings, photographs, prints and oil paintings, along with other interpretative material including music, video etc. In some instances different genres may also be included, such as still life, portraiture or landscape. Sometimes the curator may give greater emphasis to a particular period in the artist’s career or highlight certain processes, ideas or media. They usually follow a chronology to demonstrate the shifts and developments that evolve across an artist’s body of work. These are also called monographic exhibitions. Retrospective and survey exhibitions assess a large body of work by a single artist. The Three-Body Problem was originally serialized in Science Fiction World in 2006 and published as a standalone book in 2008. The title refers to the three-body problem in orbital mechanics. The series portrays a fictional past, present and future where, in the first book, Earth encounters an alien civilization in a nearby star system that consists of three sun-like stars orbiting each other in an unstable system. The trilogy's second and third novels are The Dark Forest and Death's End, respectively. It is the first novel of the Remembrance of Earth's Past ( Chinese: 地球往事) trilogy, but the whole series is often referred to as Three-Body.
