And just like that, I was one of the four million newly registered voters who will be determining the country’s future for the next six years. We went on the last day of registration.ĭespite the long drive to the municipal hall, seemingly endless lines, and irritating warm weather, I tried to be patient in completing the process until they handed me the registration receipt. No words could describe my excitement about the idea of voting right just after turning legal. ![]() I could vividly remember the joy that sparked within me when I was told that we could already register for the coming elections in October last year. It definitely took me to where it all began. I then decided to ponder and look back on what happened over the previous months in hopes of answering my own question, to see where this feeling of hope sparked. And eventually, I got tired of feeling that way. However, nothing could stop it.įor several days, I felt like a dying ember trying to muster the remaining hope and energy within me in order to function correctly. I desperately tried to seek that hopeful warmth that embraced me for several months by talking to some of my friends, taking some time off from the news, or focusing on other things that needed to be done. “Did the burning hope within me die off?” was the question that came to mind as my blood ran cold upon hearing the recent election news. ![]() ![]() ![]() Multiple Languages Editions of Half Girlfriend Book He also tells us about his close friend, who inspired him to learn English so that he could get into St. The story then moves on to Madhav’s past, where his father had died when he was a child and how his mother worked hard to make ends meet.

Also employed by the Tribune as a feature writer was Maud Hart from Mankato, Minnesota. ![]() In 1915, he began working as a reporter and copy editor for Harry Wakefield, the city editor of the Minneapolis Tribune. More about this friendship and Delos’s writing career in the next post. Here he met and became friends with another reporter, Merian C. Guild.ĭelos moved to Minneapolis in 1914 to attend the University of Minnesota and work as a reporter for the (Minneapolis) Daily News. ![]() After graduation in 1913, Delos was hired as a reporter for the Fargo Courier News by managing editor Lewis T. In early 1911, Josephine moved to Fargo where she continued to work as a dressmaker and Delos attended high school. He also worked in the harvest fields in northern Minnesota. To help the family financially, Delos delivered newspapers and, spent his summers working on his uncle’s farm in Michigan.

I recommend reading book one of the 2014 series, one of my favorite books of all time, and then skipping to the fantastic 2016 series. A new writer and artist continued the series with book 2 and book 3, but I can't recommend them like book 1. The first book of the 2014 series of Moon Knight is the greatest action comic I have ever read ( followed closely by the 2016 Black Widow series ). In time, his mind fractured under stress and the various secret identities he used to infiltrate the criminal underworld, exploit the world of high finance, and fight crime head-on slowly became their own divergent personalities in his mind. Marc Spector was a ruthless mercenary driven by visions of Khonshu, Egyptian god of the moon, to make up for his bloody past in foreign lands by fighting crime at home. ![]() ![]() We’re just supposed to see him as a wonderful guy because he thinks rape is wrong? What a low bar. And we weren’t given any indication that his views on women and sexism had changed. He didn’t believe Grace until he saw an actual movie of the rape. ![]() “Don’t girls know that there’s a fine line between being raped and asking for it?” And there are gray areas when it comes to rape.? This guy was so problematic. And the so-called hero also holds some incredibly misogynistic views, like the ever so popular “she dresses like that, so she must have been asking for it”. ![]() “How can I be a slut, don’t sluts like having a lot of sex?” is something she asks at one point. Grace herself doesn’t seem to have any issues with women being called sluts, only with the fact that she’s being called one, cause she isn’t one. Absolutely everyone in this story, including the protagonist and the so-called hero, has some despicable views on women. ![]() *spoilers* So disappointed with this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary-how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her? Coriane recounts her heady courtship with the crown prince, the birth of a new prince, Cal, and the potentially deadly challenges that lie ahead for her in royal life.Ĭaptain Farley was raised to be strong, but being tasked with planting the seeds of rebellion in Norta is a tougher job than expected. ![]() Two women on either side of the Silver and Red divide tell the stories no one else knows.ĭiscover the truth of Norta’s bloody past in these two revealing prequels to #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller RED QUEEN. ![]() ![]() ![]() "For the population, up until the pandemic, there had been a marginal improvement in living standards," said David Butter, an Associate Fellow on London-based think tank Chatham House's Middle East and North Africa Programme. Many economists believe they will have to go much higher still, all of which will feed a problematic economic narrative for next year's presidential elections. The Egyptian pound now changes hands at more than 40 to the dollar on the streets, nearly 25% below the currency's official rate EGP= despite the repeated devaluations and interest rates jumping to 18.25%. ![]() And like that example, a lack of dollars in Cairo's local currency markets is biting the economy. The rating agency, which downgraded Egypt's credit rating again on Friday, highlights that only default-stricken Sri Lanka would need to pay more. Its debt-to-GDP ratio is fast approaching 100% and three major currency devaluations totalling 50% in little over a year means the interest payments on its debt alone - a large slab of which is borrowed in dollars, euros or yen - will soak up over half of the government's revenues next year according to Fitch. ![]() ![]() ![]() These books offer the alluring prospect of gaining an unfettered, if subjective, glimpse into a world ordinarily sealed off by stringent codes of propriety and ideology and, somewhat perversely, the chance to be absorbed without consequence into a society governed by zeal. This is evidenced by the popularity of memoirs like Deborah Feldman’s Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots (2012) and Leah Vincent’s Cut Me Loose: Sin and Salvation After My Ultra-Orthodox Girlhood (2014). ![]() ![]() There can be a certain voyeuristic pleasure in reading accounts of those who’ve left extremist religious sects. ![]() ![]() ![]() While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike.
