![]() It's likely that the president's backstage visit with the magician, and his subsequent eagerness to participate in a hair-raising stunt, holds a clue to his unexplained death a few hours later in a San Francisco hotel room. ![]() The dissolute president, leading an administration that is sinking into unprecedented corruption and greed, has appeared anxious and frightened during a 1923 train trip to the West Coast, designed as an escape from the political anxieties of Washington, D.C. The victim - here Gold goes for high stakes - is none other than the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. The novel's sleuth, on the other hand, is a bumbler: Jack Griffin, a retirement-age Secret Service agent despised by his younger colleagues. The apparent murderer is glamorous and appealing: Charles Carter, a well-known magician from a wealthy family of San Francisco eccentrics. Like a veteran illusionist, first-time author Glen David Gold puts his audience off balance immediately. Set in the early 20th-century world of vaudeville magic, Carter Beats the Devil is as fascinating - and also as frustrating - as a conjurer's act. ![]() ![]() Review | Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The deficit myth![]() ![]() As debt is in its own currency, such countries can always overrule market sentiment on interest rates. #3: The truth about national debt and “crowding out”. An economy becomes inflationary when combined public and private spending brings it to “full employment”. Governments with monetary sovereignty should use inflation as the measuring stick for overspending, and not the deficit. A country with monetary sovereignty cannot spend without limit but should not be confined by the same budgetary ideas as a household. Where the state issues its own currency, the federal budget is not the same as a household budget because it is a currency issuer, not a currency user. #1: Distinguishing currency issuers and currency users. ![]() Instead of focusing on self-imposed budget constraints, Kelton suggests we should instead use inflation and real resource limits as the measuring stick for public spending. It seeks to explain why for countries with monetary sovereignty the federal budget is fundamentally different to the household budget, and why deficits are generally good for the economy. The Deficit Myth is an introduction to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), an economic school of thought that is growing in popularity. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Shoeless joe author![]() ![]() And mythology is sort of a hanging curveball for writers and film-makers.īorn in Pickens County, South Carolina, around 1888, give or take a year (the Jackson family Bible, which recorded such events, was destroyed in a fire) Joe Jackson, by all accounts, was a remarkable natural athlete.ĭonald Gropman’s 1979 biography Say It Ain’t So, Joe! contains most of the details of Jackson’s life, although it is scarcely an unbiased account. The name, Shoeless Joe Jackson the actual historic figure born in the rural South his bat, Black Betsy, and his role in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal the wounded plea of a small boy on the courthouse steps and baseball itself-are all the stuff of mythology. There is a mythic quality in both of these poems. The other is a phrase Say it ain’t so, Joe, delivered sadly, with its final rhyme. Read it aloud and feel the assonance and alliteration. ![]() One is simply a name – Shoeless Joe Jackson. Two of the poems I most admire are very short. ![]() ![]() ![]() She also wonders when the poison will take effect and if he is a boy… Jamie Kelly doesn’t know who Jim Benton is and wonders why he is even being mentioned in connection with her diary. They do not have a dog, and they especially do not have a vengeful beagle. ![]() Jim Benton lives in Michigan with his spectacular wife and kids. He’s created a kids TV series, designed clothing, and written books. You may already know his properties It’s Happy Bunny!, or Just Jimmy, and you are about to get to know Dear Dumb Diary. He is the creator of many licensed properties, some for big kids, some for little kids, and some for grown ups that, frankly, are probably behaving like little kids. He has managed to make a living out of being funny anyway. Can you believe the pain he’s in? His suffering? The crushing heartache he endures every time he sees me? Gosh, it just makes me so happy!’ ABOUT JIM BENTON: JIM BENTON is not a middle school girl, but do not hold that against him. ‘Dear Dumb Diary, I got another poem today from You Know Who! ‘She is the fairest blossom, true, She blooms in any weather. And crazy doesn’t even begin to cover it. ![]() Middle school may be grim, but it’s no fairy tale.

Rare natterjack toads have been struggling due to changing weather patterns, with populations devastated.Įmily Lake, who looks after the toads at the Cheshire Wildlife Trust, said: “Changing weather patterns and lack of rain means we are seriously worried for the long-term survival of the natterjack toad colony at Red Rocks nature reserve on the Wirral. We think that the variable climate patterns, with warmer winters but then cold well into the spring months, when they would migrate to the ponds, is having an impact on their behaviour patterns.” ![]() “We have noticed a steady increase in low numbers being reported by the public over the past few years. We are also getting reports from our toad patrollers of lower numbers migrating, but we will not know for definite until later in the year when we have all of their data.

She meets Shug Avery, her husband's mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepson's wife, Sophia, who challenges her to fight for independence. The letters, spanning twenty years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women.

Meanwhile, her capricious and free-spirited semi-estranged birth mother keeps telling Phronsie to STOP, that the universe is sending her signs not to do it. Phronsie’s father and stepmother couldn’t be more delighted. One day, Judd hatches a plan… they should get married! They are above all of that love stuff… and since they have the foundation of friendship, they’ll be able to spend the rest of their lives together, raise children, and so on and so forth. (her other book, Matchmaking For Beginners, is still one of my all-time favorite books.) Phronsie and Judd have been best friends forever, bonding over their (many) bad dates in New York (relatable!!!). I love how Maddie Dawson writes… her books are all so magical. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Cupid and psyche charlotte craft![]() ![]() Says Kirkus Reviews, "Every detail of her work-the flowers by a spring, a red cloak unfurled against a blue sky, moonlight on a tiger's back-is beautifully rendered."
