![]() ![]() ![]() During Hugh's tenure, Cluny provided money and spiritual support for the First Crusade. At his death, close to 1,500 Cluniac monasteries and 10,000 monks could be found scattered throughout England, France, Spain and Germany. In particular, Mullins provides an intimate portrait of Hugh the Great, whose administrative and political skills as well as his theological sensibilities fostered the dramatic rise of Cluny. Traces the abbey's history from its inception in 910 to its ultimate destruction in the late 18th century. By turns prosaic and lively, this loving paean to Cluny by Mullins, a former art correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, ![]() By the end of the 12th century, however, the abbey's fortunes had begun to decline, thanks to external challenges to the authority of the church and internal conflicts about Cluny's mismanagement of financial resources. An architectural marvel, the abbey also served as the headquarters for a steadily growing monastic movement directed by the Rule of Benedict of Nursia. During the Middle Ages, the abbey at Cluny, in southern France, towered over every other church in Christendom, both physically and spiritually. ![]() ![]() ![]() What? You mean sneaking a flask on the plane is illegal?Īll these years, I was violating federal law by carrying those 2 ounces onto the plane. “As a reminder, it’s against federal regulations to bring and consume your own alcohol on a flight.” When I was in super-dad mode, I was a safety guardian.īut after all the “blah blah” commentary, the attendant said something that absolutely stopped me. Please put your personal bag underneath the seat and larger carry-on in the overhead bin…” If you’re a frequent traveler, these words are white noise, and I haven’t paid attention to what they’re saying since I took my first-born on a flight. As I boarded the plane to Las Vegas, the flight attendant started his usual pleasantries: “Thank you for flying with Southwest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Relying on the materialist assumption that how people live, how they are exploited (or how they exploit), how they resist (or how they submit) are the true “points on which history turns” – and supplementing this with insights into how people are organized into communities and nations beyond the workplace (“the ‘sensuous’ reality of human society”) – Settlers retells the history of White America from the perspective of its victims. It does not purport to be a “cultural history” (don’t we have several bookshelves too many of those already?) or a metaphysical inquiry into “agency” or the “dissonance between belief, location and action” – instead, it provides a class analysis of US history. Settlers is a remarkably easy book to read, a down to earth economic and political history of White America that uses Marxist concepts and “movement lingo” while dodging the twin traps of academic mumbo jumbo and lefty jargon. Sakai’s Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat cover to cover! His review, published in your last issue, raises some interesting questions, but tackles Sakai’s argument in an almost bizarre “apples and oranges” fashion. I am honestly wondering if Tyler McCreary read J. ![]() ![]() ![]() With a league-worst 17.6 assists per game, the bulk of their point production came from isolation plays, midrange jumpers and individual scoring - particularly from Rhyne Howard (16.2 ppg) and Tiffany Hayes (16.2). ![]() They averaged 78 points per game (11th) on 42 percent shooting (11th). Last season, the Dream were at the bottom of the league offensively. Can the Atlanta Dream be more effective on offense? Like seasons past, there will be no shortage of drama, action, fierce competition, eye-popping individual performances and exceptional basketball to take in this year. For this edition, I posed one key and relevant question for each team heading into the regular season. But before it tips off Friday night, I’m rolling out the first 12 Questions of the summer. The 2023 WNBA season has finally arrived. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For Daredevil, this is the best way forward as he feels that he has done all that he can in the city at the moment, not that crime will stop but he needs to do what he does on a larger scale, he needs to save the world and to do that may just be as the head of The Fist with Elektra. The Take – Continuing off of their incredible run in Vol.6, Chip Zdarsky and Marco Chechetto are back and they pick right up where they left off in Devil’s Reign with Daredevil set to leave the city with Elektra, his brother Mike dead and his personal identity of Matt Murdock effectively buried and gone. The Story – Daredevil is going to save everyone and will do so with a little help from Elektra. The Players – Daredevil, Elektra, Spider-Man, Butch Pharris, Stick The Creators – Chip Zdarsky – Writer, Marco Chechetto & Rafael De LaTorre – Artists, Matthew Wilson – Colours, Clayton Cowles – Letters ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel like it’s hard for Muslim authors to get recognition in some areas of literature, including Young Adult. But first, can we take a moment to appreciate Hafsah Faizal. (Once again, SPOILER ALERT! I don’t reveal too much information but still BEWARE.) On their journey they will find a greater evil stirring, and a risk that comes with finding their reward. ![]() When Zafira is offered the opportunity to restore magic back to their land by retrieving a long lost artifact, Nasir is ordered to follow her to the prize and kill “The Hunter”.

Nasir Ghameq is the crown prince of the Arawiya, better known as the “Prince of Death”. If she is revealed to be a female, all of her accomplishments will be turned against her. ![]() She does so using a male persona, “The Hunter”. Seventeen-year-old Zafira bint Iskander ventures through the Arz, cursed forest of the kingdom of Arawiya, to hunt animals and bring home food for her people. SPOILER ALERT! Set in an Arabian-inspired setting, We Hunt the Flame tells the tale of Zafira and Nasir, and what happens when their lives intertwine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Suddenly she finds herself at the same school as her three tormentors, who rule the school. But the torment that started when she was a little girl hasn't let up. Now she's older, and doesn't take any sh*t. The immediate object of dislike from Neo, and his two best friends that followed suit. Growing up, she was the one on the outskirts of the group. This is a tough as nails FMC that isn't afraid to stand up for herself. Scarlett is a heroine that I immediately liked. “You are a dirty-talking wh*re, you know that?” I carry her back to where she belongs-back pressed to the shelf. If you worked your fingers inside my p*ssy as well as you do around my neck, I might be coming right now.” And boy am I glad I did! Because this seriously hit the spot I didn't even know I had. I tried and DNFd several until I somehow landed on a recommendation for this book on my Amazon KU list. ![]() I have been desperately looking for an academia, bully, why choose romance that would hit the spot just right. She’s the only girl in the world who makes me wanna slap her and fuck her at the same time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Therefore, in 1998, Adam went to South Kensington, where he joined and attended Imperial College in London for six years. At this age, he didn’t give this thought a great deal of inspection because it constantly felt like he was fated to follow the paths of his dad, who was a doctor. Just like every other British 16-year-olds kid, Adam Kay had to choose what his main area of study for the whole of his academic career will be. A caution before we start: Chapters 2 and 4 explain a graphic injury and a particularly disgusting scene and really have sensitive or possibly triggering content.ġ – New doctors are obliged to immediately learn on the job after their medical school. Stories from Adam Kay’s time as a junior doctor confirm that things can get really weird at a hospital. ![]() Also, they also need to frequently face some despicable patients and medical cases that may seem really -bizarre-to-be-real. They work like 100-hour per week and decide on life or death choices each day while barely earning more than your normal bank teller. However, for the most aspect, those people who work at the National Health Service (NHS) hospitals all through the UK, are really hard-working people who only get small rest and even less respect for the hard work they do. You may reason that the life of a doctor is a leisurely one, with a lot of games of golf, expensive cars, and payments from the pharmaceutical industry. ![]() ![]() In a new village full of strangers, Jimmy has to be careful who he shares his secrets with. Jimmy can’t wait to go home – but when he finds a mysterious skull in a tree, he and his brother are compelled to unravel its story. ![]() After the hustle and bustle of London, it’s a bit of a shock – people say lots of things that are hard to understand, the food’s unusual (but very delicious), and the woman who’s taken them in insists Ronnie and Jimmy call her ‘Auntie’ – even though they’ve never met before. It’s 1939, and Jimmy and his little brother Ronnie have been evacuated to a tiny, quiet village in Wales. ![]() |
