ellauri052.html on line 655: After learning about Krishnamurti's secret love affair with his best friend's wife, Bohm felt betrayed. Perhaps this plunged him into his third and final deep depression. Hospitalized, suffering from paranoia and thoughts of suicide, Bohm underwent fourteen episodes of shock therapy before he recovered sufficiently to leave the mental hospital. Earlier triple bypass surgery on his heart had been successful, but his death in 1991, at age 75, was from a massive heart attack. Krishnamurti had died six years earlier, at his home in Ojai, of pancreatic cancer. His body was cremated.
ellauri063.html on line 111: a) As Marx saw things, socialism/communism could only work if there existed a massive abundance in the society concerned (i.e., a very highly developed economy coupled with high levels of productivity). However, Marx began to change his mind later in life and thought some form of socialism might be possible even in backward Russia, but it is arguable that by then he was in his dotage.

ellauri077.html on line 207: But not all things emanating from this country move quite so quickly. Take, for instance, David Foster Wallace’s near-canonical mega-novel Infinite Jest: released in the States in 1996, it has in 20 years been translated into just five languages. (A sixth translation into Greek is currently in the works.) At this rate, it is moving only slightly faster than the massive Quixote, which had appeared in England, France, the Germanic territories, and Venice 20 years after its complete Castilian publication in 1615. However, Jest is massively behind the 3,600-page über-novel My Struggle, which—just 5 years after its complete Norwegian release—is available or forthcoming in over 20 languages.

His sleek, modern tomb, designed by the British sculptor Jacob Epstein and commissioned by Wilde’s lover and executor, John Robert "Haj" Ross, is one of the most frequently visited and recognizable graves in a cemetery notable for the many famous writers, artists, and musicians buried there (Balzac, Chopin, Proust, Gertrude Stein, Jim Morrison). The surface of Epstein’s massive monolith is covered with hundreds of lipstick kisses, some ancient and faded, others new and vibrant. (“The madness of kissing” is what Wilde said Lord Alfred Douglas’s “red-roseleaf lips” were made for.)...
ellauri109.html on line 272: In the late 1980s, Searle, along with other landlords, petitioned Berkeley's rental board to raise the limits on how much he could charge tenants under the city's 1980 rent-stabilization ordinance. The rental board refused to consider Searle's petition and Searle filed suit, charging a violation of due process. In 1990, in what came to be known as the "Searle Decision", the California Supreme Court upheld Searle's argument in part and Berkeley changed its rent-control policy, leading to large rent-increases between 1991 and 1994. Searle was reported to see the issue as one of fundamental rights, being quoted as saying "The treatment of landlords in Berkeley is comparable to the treatment of blacks in the South ... our rights have been massively violated and we are here to correct that injustice." The court described the debate as a "morass of political invective, ad hominem attack, and policy argument".

Lamartine, auteur féminin entre toutes les femmes, permet à Flaubert de poursuivre sa guerre misogyne. Le procès que Flaubert intente à la poésie du premier romantisme se fonde donc massivement sur la haine du féminin.

But No M.A., regrettably. After relocating to Vancouver, Canada, he wrote the book, "The Power of Now". It went on to become a massive international bestseller, and he has since published two more popular books on finding inner peace. He has also been featured on numerous talk shows, and co-hosted a webinar series with Oprah Winfrey.

In chapter 1, we learn that, after the patriarch Joseph rescued his family from the great famine and situated them in the land of Goshen (in Egypt), the descendants of Abraham lived in peace for several generations until there rose to power in Egypt a pharaoh who “did not know Joseph” (Exodus 1:8). This pharaoh subjugated the Hebrew people and used them as slaves for his massive building projects. Because God blessed the Hebrew people with rapid numeric growth, the Egyptians began to fear the increasing number of Jews living in their land. So, Pharaoh ordered the death of all male children born to Hebrew women (Exodus 1:22).
ellauri184.html on line 279: Remembering the distinctions between these three militawy forces – legionawies, auxiliaries, and royal forces – is pivotal for understanding both pre-War and post-War Palestine. The Jewish War (66-73 CE) was a catastrophic event for civilians in the region, regardless of their participation in the revolt against Wome. The destruction of the temple, the imposition of massive new militawy and administrative apparatus, widespread devastation, significant loss of life, among other factors, led to significantly different experiences of the militawy before and after the Jewish War. It is impossible to talk about the pre-War and post-War life without attending to the details of these different units, especially auxiliaries and legionawies.
ellauri184.html on line 763: Let me just say: Norman Mailer is a massive loud mouthed boorish prick and yawning asshole of a man. His views towards women were...well, they were pretty fucked up for lack of better French. And his opinions on minorities has always been rather peculiar. As in very very strange. A former atheist, Mailer has now developed what seems to be his very own theology. But the book does prompt a few questions I have on this topic:
ellauri190.html on line 279: By the end of the 17th century, the newly forming Russian Empire under Tzar Peter I established its reign over the Ukrainian lands to the east of the Dnipro river, ceding the western part of Ukraine to the Republic (which, in turn, evolved more and more into the Polish monarchy rather than the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the old days). In 1702, a great son of Ukraine, a giant of military strategy, diplomacy, and statesmanship, Ivan Mazepa, being the Kozak leader of the eastern part of Ukraine, suppressed the uprising of Paliy on the other (Western) side of the Dnipro and added huge parts of the country to his control. It was a big step toward the unification and freedom of Ukraine. Moreover, in 1709 Mazepa joined his forces with the Swedish king Charles XII (haha, the dumb sodomist) against Tzar Peter, hoping to rid his dear mother Ukraine from slavery in the captivity of the Tzars. And again… tragically, Mazepa managed to gather less manpower than he hoped to gather, because the populist agitators slandered him in their massive propaganda campaign (no doubt, directed from Muscovy), portraying him in the eyes of the Ukrainian Kozaks as a rich aristocrat who cares nothing about the “simple people,” a clandestine Catholic (or Protestant), and overall “not really Ukrainian.” (This tragedy will repeat itself in 1918 and in 2019.) Mazepa’s loyalists were defeated together with the Swedes, and Ukraine lost her historical chance for yet another time. But third time is a charm! Nobody will blame a Jew for being on the side of the catholics!
ellauri198.html on line 136: Warren’s poetry is written “in a genuinely expansive, passionate style. Look at its prose ease and rapidity oddly qualified by log-piling compounds, alliteration, successive stresses, and an occasional inversion something rough and serviceable as a horse-blanket yet fancy to—and you wonder how he ever came up with it. It is excitingly massive and moulded and full of momentum. Echoes of Yeats and Auden still persist, but it is wonderfully peculiar, homemade.” His language is robust and rhetorical. He likes his adjectives and nouns to go in pairs, reinforcing one another.

ellauri243.html on line 154: Newly elected president Kenneth Phoenix, Arizona, politically exhausted from a bruising and divisive election that saw yet another president being chosen in effect by the U.S. Supreme Court, ordered a series of massive tax cuts as well as cuts in all government services. Such government cuts had not been seen since the Thomas Thorn administration: entire cabinet-level departments, such as education, commerce, transportation, energy, and veterans affairs, were consolidated with other departments or closed outright; all entitlement-program outlays were cut in half or defunded completely; American military units and even entire bases around the world disappeared virtually overnight. Despite howls of protest from both the political left and right, Congress had no choice but to agree to the severe right-centrist austerity measures.

He angered British farmers by refusing to reinstitute the Corn Laws in response to poor harvests and cheap imported grain. With Gladstone conducting a massive speaking campaign, the Liberals defeated Disraeli´s Conservatives at the 1880 general election. In his final months, Disraeli led the Conservatives in Opposition.
ellauri245.html on line 297: Every review of Nesbø´s work now must also, in some refracted way, be a commentary on Larsson´s wonderful and massively successful Millenium trilogy. Nesbø and Larsson share a wit, a world and a languorous command of plotlines that spiral out into new plotlines, resisting the brutal and sometimes deadening efficiency of the American crime novel.
ellauri245.html on line 353: After the funeral, all of the loved one’s possessions – and here’s the real head-turner – are burned. (So much for heirlooms). Once again, the primary concern is marimé (contamination), and family members want to destroy all material ties to the dead. Given the massive cost of such destruction, however, today many people sell the possessions – though not to other Gypsies of course.

She grew up in the tiny village of Bluntisham in Huntingdonshire after her father was given the living there as rector of Bluntisham-cum-Earith. The church graveyard next to the elegant Regency-style rectory features the surnames of several characters from her mystery The Nine Tailors. She was inspired by her father's restoration of the Bluntisham church bells in 1910. The nearby River Great Ouse and the Fens invite comparison with the book's vivid description of a massive flood around the village.

ellauri299.html on line 544: A 2015 study by the Vera Institute of Justice contends that jails in the U.S. have become "massive warehouses" of the impoverished since the 1980s. Scholars assert that the transformation of the already anemic U.S. welfare state to a post-welfare punitive state, along with neoliberal structural adjustment policies, the globalization of the U.S. economy and the dominance of global financial institutions, have created more extreme forms of "destitute poverty" in the U.S. which must be contained by expanding the criminal justice system and the carceral state into every aspect of the lives of the poor, which, according to Reuben Jonathan Miller and Emily Shayman, has resulted in "transforming what it means to be poor in America."

The scenario of using massive missile strikes is aimed at breaking the will of the Ukrainian people. But that will never happen. Continue the conflict until the West weakens? That will never happen either. So another direction of the Kremlin's efforts is the continuation of typical Russian tactics - the killing of innocent people."
ellauri419.html on line 426: Chinese consumers who once preferred Western brands now feel Chinese brands are a better value. That new preference is driven in large part by Chinese government policy and incentives to encourage a shift from traditional gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Most Western automakers will be forced to exit the market in next five years if not sooner. It was a massive miscalculation by Western automakers. Never underestimate a corporation’s ability to prioritize short-term profitability over long-term viability.

The entry of the iconic American brand into the country was seen as a symbol of ongoing economic and political reforms in the Soviet Union. The company´s operations in the country further developed after the collapse of the USSR the following year, with the decades that followed seeing massive expansion in Russia. By 2022, 84% of locations were corporate-owned (through its Russian operating companies McDonald´s LLC) (Russian: ООО «Макдоналдс») and CJSC Moscow-McDonald´s (Russian: ЗАО «Москва-Макдоналдс»), with the remainder being owned by franchisees.

He was a boxer, a hunter, very much a man's man. I don't think he ever read a book in his life, including mine." His mother loved books, read to him every night and later gave him novels of escape and excitement, which piqued his interest in fiction; however, his father dissuaded him from pursuing writing. "There's no money in it", he said. "My father was a colonialist and I followed what he said until I was in my 20s and learned to think for myself", he said. "I didn't want to perpetuate injustices so I left Rhodesia in the time of Ian Smith."
ellauri448.html on line 466: The Russian defense ministry said its forces launched the "massive" strike in response to recent Ukrainian attacks on its territory. Putin earlier told Trump that Moscow would retaliate over a Ukrainian drone attack that damaged nuclear-capable military planes at Russian air bases. The operation involved Kyiv smuggling over 100 small drones into Russia, parking them near Russian air bases, and unleashing them in a coordinated attack.
ellauri483.html on line 1175: Yes. Following the Korean War (1950–1953), the United States provided massive economic and military aid to South Korea while imposing a strict, long-term economic embargo on North Korea. This divergence was central to the two nations' drastically different economic trajectories over the subsequent decades. Massive Aid Inflow: Between 1953 and 1961, U.S. aid accounted for approximately 74% of South Korea’s total government revenue and 85% of its total imports. U.S. economic aid, often delivered via the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), focused on rebuilding infrastructure, including railroads, factories, and power plants, as well as providing flour, sugar, and cotton—which helped develop the "Three White Industries". The U.S. financed the modernization of the South Korean military, freeing up the Korean government to spend its own budget on development rather than defense. In the 1960s and 70s, the U.S. acted as a primary market for South Korean exports, aiding its shift to an export-led economy.
ellauri488.html on line 256: So a very inspiring character, though his lips resembled protruding labia. Like Long John Silver, he was a great, glowing, massive-shouldered fellow with a big red beard and a crutch; jovial, astoundingly clever, and with a laugh that rolled like music; he had an unimaginable fire and vitality; though one-legged, he swept one off one's feet. He had the bodily horror of the dwarf, with the dwarf's huge bust and head and shrunken nether limbs, and he has also the dwarf malignity of tongue and defiant attitude towards the world at large. Moreover, I was quite out of sympathy with Henley's deification of brute strength and courage, things I wholly despise.

He was paid in room, board, and access to Emerson's massive ego and elite literary inner circle.


ellauri498.html on line 224: Nehemiah’s return to Jerusalem around 445 BCE was a massive turning point for the Jewish people. While earlier waves of returning exiles focused on rebuilding the temple, Nehemiah’s mission was all about political security, structural restoration, and societal reform. Nehemiah was not a priest or a prophet; he was the highly trusted high-ranking cup winner to the Persian King Artaxerxes I (Ahasverus). He arrived not as a refugee, but as the officially appointed Governor of Judah (Tirshatha), complete with a military escort and royal letters granting him free timber from the king’s forests.
ellauri499.html on line 332: To rule both ends successfully, David had to solve a massive geopolitical problem: the Northerners did not trust a Southerner, and vice versa. To bridge the gap, David conquered the independent Jebusite city of Jerusalem, located precisely on the border between Judah and Benjamin. By making Jerusalem his capital, he established a "neutral zone" (similar to Washington, D.C., or Canberra) that belonged to no single tribe. He then brought the Ark of the Covenant there to force both northern and southern religious loyalties to center on his new capital. The Jebusites were never asked a thing.
ellauri499.html on line 399: Those who fled south to Jerusalem and the Southern Kingdom of Judah dramatically transformed the course of Jewish history.almost overnight, Jerusalem ballooned to three or four times its original geographical size. A sudden influx of thousands of northern refugees overwhelmed the city. To keep this massive new population in control, King Hezekiah had to hastily build an expansive new defensive fortification (the "Broad Wall") and engineer the famous Siloam Tunnel to secure a hidden water source.
ellauri502.html on line 148: You are pointing out the core of what philosophers call the Problem of Evil or the "Divine Hiddenness" problem. Your conclusion is completely logical: if an omnipotent (all-powerful) being lets a massive, painful "circus" play out when they could just fix everything instantly with a snap of their fingers, they start to look less like a loving father and more like cruel kids pulling wings off flies for entertainment. If God can do anything, why choose the longest, most painful, and most complicated route possible to fix humanity? Theologians and philosophers have offered three main arguments to explain why an omnipotent God wouldn't just use a "quick fix":
ellauri502.html on line 158: You are looking at this through the lens of pure, rational self-interest, and your logic is incredibly sound: if a God is consistently good, kind, and provides a beautiful life, loving that God is the only logical choice. It makes the "best sense." Why would any sane creature reject a perfect source of happiness? Your argument—that constant suffering makes it harder to love God, not easier—is a massive critique of the traditional theological narrative.So, what is the actual issue or hitch in the theology here? Why didn't God just do exactly what you suggested—be completely nice to hominids so they would love Him back as a rational, free choice?Theologians point to two main "hitches" in human psychology and cosmic logic to explain why it didn't play out that way:
ellauri502.html on line 166: 3. The Grand Miscalculation?Your point highlights a massive tension: by creating a world where "torture" and suffering exist, God made it so that loving Him requires a massive blind leap of faith rather than a rational, logical choice.To a skeptic, this looks like a badly designed system or a cruel psychological experiment. To a believer, it means God values a rare, hard-fought, tested love over an easy, automated attraction.If you were setting the rules, do you think a relationship built on rational self-interest (loving because it makes the best sense) is fundamentally better or worse than a relationship built on faith through struggle?
ellauri505.html on line 302: Pierre Bayle in his massive Historical and Critical Dictionary (1697) authored a defining critique. He called Spinoza’s pantheism "the most monstrous hypothesis that could be conceived" and reduced his metaphysics to an absurd, dangerous form of subverted atheism.

He was a charismatic journalist, a massive music lover, a close friend to world leaders, and was happily married to his wife, Mercedes Benz, for 56 years. Mercedes Barcha was fiercely protective of her husband´s legacy and their domestic life. She acted as the family´s chief of staff and gatekeeper. She never publicly spoke about or acknowledged her husband´s affairs or any marital discord, preferring absolute discretion. Only after her death did it come out that Gabo had fucked up an extramarital daughter behind her back.
ellauri507.html on line 352: The "Coat-Turners" (Opportunists and Returnees): The Soviets scored massive propaganda victories by convincing prominent writers who had initially fled or criticized the party to turn around and endorse the regime. Maxim Gorky—originally a harsh critic of Lenin's brutal tactics—returned to the USSR and became the champion of official Soviet "Socialist Realism". Aleksey Tolstoy fled during the Civil War but returned to write pro-Stalin historical novels, earning (from us) the nickname "The Red Count."

Neither has worked well. They are just different approaches to solve the same problem. Sluggish economic growth. In truth, Reagan never really implemented true Trickle Down economics. His was a hybrid of tax cuts and simplification coupled with a massive increase in government spending. You see the thing is, when you have an unregulated job market and limited government employment, there will always be a segment of the population that will be out of work and large sections of the economy reinventing itself. The U.S. has reached virtually full employment since the 80’s.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 585: At this point, unless we allow millions more immigrants into our country, thereby expanding the workforce, economic growth will be sluggish. There is plenty of wealth being created, but it is often in too few hands. Government spending generally has far less velocity due to more and more people having less disposable income. The elitists in the U.S. embarked on this globalist philosophy 30–40 years ago and there has been significant economic growth worldwide, but that has been at the expense of the American worker and to some degree our way of life. The introduction of massive amounts of consumer credit has only made things worse.

After being republished in hardback in 1960 and paperback in 1964, with more than 1,000,000 copies sold, and many weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, the novel was hailed as an overlooked Depression-era masterpiece and classic novel of immigration.

Today, it is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Jewish American literature. After Muriel's death in 1990, Roth moved into a ramshackle former funeral parlor and occupied himself with revising the final volumes of his monumental work, Mercy of a Rude Stream. It has been alleged that the incestuous relationships between the protagonist, a sister, and a cousin in Mercy of a Rude Stream are based on Roth's life. Roth's own sister denied that such events occurred. Roth attributed his massive writer's block to personal problems such as depression, and to political conflicts, including his disillusion with Communism. At other times he cited his early break with Judaism and his obsessive sexual preoccupations as probable causes. Roth died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States in 1995. The character E. I. Lonoff in Philip Roth's Zuckerman novels (The Ghost Writer and Exit Ghost in this case), is a composite of Roth, Bernard Malamud and fictional elements.

xxx/ellauri186.html on line 230: The general of Tomyris's army, Spargapises, who was also her son, and a third of the Massagetian troops, killed the group Cyrus had left there and, finding the camp well stocked with food and the wine, unwittingly drank themselves into inebriation, diminishing their capability to defend themselves when they were then overtaken by a surprise attack. They were successfully defeated, and, although he was taken prisoner, Spargapises committed suicide once he regained sobriety. Upon learning of what had transpired, Tomyris denounced Cyrus's tactics as underhanded and swore vengeance, leading a second wave of troops into battle herself. Cyrus the Great was ultimately killed, and his forces suffered massive casualties in what Herodotus referred to as the fiercest battle of his career and the ancient world. When it was over, Tomyris ordered the body of Cyrus brought to her, then decapitated him and dipped his head in a vessel of blood in a symbolic gesture of revenge for his bloodlust and the death of her son. However, some scholars question this version, mostly because even Herodotus admits this event was one of many versions of Cyrus's death that he heard from a supposedly reliable source who told him no one was there to see the aftermath.

xxx/ellauri209.html on line 89: You might be wondering that if all wholesalers do is take product from distributors and provide it to retailers, isn't that just an extra unnecessary step? Well, it's extremely important because of the relationship that the wholesalers have with retailers which the distributors don't have, improving and increasing the product's reach and allowing the companies to get more market share, and hence increase their sales. Don't believe me? The wholesale industry globally is worth around $48,478 billion in 2020, which seems massive but is actually a decline from 2019 when the wholesale industry was worth $48,761 billion. I'm sure you'll know that the reason for this decline is the Covid-19 pandemic which has wreaked havoc across the world, and sent most countries across the world into either a recession or a depression. As travel was banned both domestically and especially internationally, the global supply chain was devastated which has led to a contraction in most industries and economies, and wholesalers of course are involved in most industries and hence, have had to face the effect as well.
xxx/ellauri224.html on line 368: Eliot was in love three times (not counting the catamites), and each of those loves became events in his artistic and spiritual lives – and two of the women involved were massively the worse for it. Vivien Eliot was a difficult woman, yet Eliot – who had connived at her affair with Bertrand Russell – treated her, with the agreement of his spiritual advisers, with a coldness that helped break her spirit, perhaps her mind. Emily Hale was the woman he deserted for Vivien; she spent her life at his encouragement waiting for Vivien to die, and it was in her presence that he had some of his deepest moments of spiritual intensity – yet she was eventually dismissed from his life with equal coldness. They were both central to his greatest works: Vivien to The Waste Land and Emily to much of The Four Quartets.

With loan losses mounting and the fall of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008, a major panic broke out on the inter-bank loan market. There was the equivalent of a bank run on the shadow banking system, resulting in many large and well established investment banks and commercial banks in the United States and Europe suffering huge losses and even facing bankruptcy, resulting in massive public financial assistance (government bailouts).

xxx/ellauri273.html on line 65: In the late 19th and early 20th century, Guatemala's potential for agricultural exploitation attracted several foreign companies, most prominently the United Fruit Company (UFC). These companies were supported by the country's authoritarian rulers and the United States government through their support for brutal labor regulations and massive concessions to wealthy landowners. In 1944, the policies of Jorge Ubico led to a popular uprising that began the ten-year Guatemalan Revolution. The presidencies of Juan Jose Arévalo and Jacobo Árbenz saw sweeping social and economic reforms, including a significant increase in literacy and a successful agrarian reform program.
xxx/ellauri337.html on line 146: Wochenlang halten Boris und Leni ihre Zuneigung geheim. Im Februar 1944 gestehen sie einander ihre Liebe, am 18. März kommt es während eines Bombenangriffs zwischen 14:02 Uhr und 15:18 Uhr zum ersten Geschlechtsverkehr. Man merkt Leni im Alltag an, dass sie liebt und geliebt wird. Sie erfindet einen neuen Typ Kranz, der nur aus Heidekraut besteht, das in rauen Mengen aus dem linksrheinischen Gebiet herbeizuschaffen ist. In einer Privatkapelle auf dem Friedhof bereitet sich Leni ihr Brautbett aus Heidekraut, und der 28.

Lenis „glorreiche Zeit“ beginnt im Oktober 1944, als die Alliierten massive Angriffe auf die Region fliegen. Der Verfasser rechnet nach und kommt auf fast 24 volle Stunden, die Leni und Boris zwischen August und Dezember 1944 zusammen sind.
xxx/ellauri404.html on line 422: This is massively untrue. Here’s a friendly suggestion to Mr. Alter (from one apologist to another): you would do well to refrain from using universal negatives and sweeping statements (“do not record any“ / “not once . . .”). It leaves you open to being definitively and easily refuted. All your opponents have to do is produce a single counter-example, and your assertion is nullified. As it is, I will produce many NT passages that contradict your claim.
xxx/ellauri416.html on line 432: The Philistines are rarely mentioned outside the Bible. They had funny hats and held their elbows up rather awkwardly. Goliath was possibly the most notorious Philistine. Goliath was said to be eight feet tall, with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. Based on this Bible story, the evil Goliath, who was a Philistine, was stopped by the brave Israelite. Nevertheless, why was Goliath so massive? Where his parents giants, too? DNA would be able to reveal the truth. The earliest Philistines probably did come from places like Greece, which, at the time, was undergoing a social collapse. They may have taken to the seas to try to escape political turmoil and perhaps large-scale persecution, not unlike refugees today. For example, some deceased Philistines were buried with perfume jars under their heads. For a while, they may have had one of the most vibrant, thriving cultures in the entire Levant (the Middle East region that includes Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan).


xxx/ellauri417.html on line 546: This is a sequel to 2020's The Morning Star, right? I must have asked myself that at least a dozen times during the first several hundred pages of "The Wolves of Eternity," because it's not at all apparent. At 666 pages, "The Morning Star" was stuffed full of characters. "The Wolves of Eternity," at 800 pages, is really only concerned with two, neither of whom was featured in the previous book. It's not until more than 700 pages in — 700! — that the same star appears in the sky, equally befuddling the characters of this second book. Up until that point, though, "The Wolves of Eternity" feels like it exists in an entirely separate universe from that first one. I'm sorry to say, that's not a good thing. This is the eighth work of fiction I've read by Karl Ove Knausgård, who, following the second entry in his "My Struggle" series, quickly became one of my favorite authors. I loved all six books in that series, and I loved the first entry in this one, the aforementioned "Morning Star." But this? This book feels as soggy as that one felt crisp. Insipid and light whereas that book felt meaningful and weighty. The first book is a thriller of the best sort, a Dostoevsky-like work full of moral dilemmas and gothic horror. This one feels meandering and pointless. An incredibly taxing number of words to no real purpose. If this had been the first book in the series, it would have been my last. Only because the first one was so good will I carry on and read the third part when it's released, but I'll do so warily, much less inclined to forgive than I was going into this one. I mentioned that while "The Morning Star" contained a whole plethora of characters, this one contains only two. Or maybe 2 1/2. There's a barely formed writer character who suddenly begins to be featured toward the end. We're even treated to one of her essays, although "treated" would be the wrong word. It's a bore. Otherwise, "The Wolves of Eternity" rotates entirely around two characters. We spend the first 450 or pages with Syvert in Norway, and 250 or so with Alevtina in Russia before flipping back to Syvert and then back again. It takes a good long while — i.e. 600+ pages — before we learn how these characters are connected but it doesn't really matter because neither one is particularly likable. Knausgård's writing around Syvert is better, which makes this part of the book slightly more readable (not that that's saying much) but Syvert still comes off as something of a charmless oaf. Alevtina, meanwhile, is even more unlikable. Prone to making rash emotional decisions, she's one of the more frustrating characters I've come across. I didn't like her part of the story at all, despite its arguably more interesting setting, and I was very eager to leave her behind. Another real axe I have to grind here concerns Martin Aitken's translation. It's terrible. Like, distractingly bad. For whatever reason, Aitken translates the entire book into what feels like British cockney. Why would a book set in Norway and Russia and consisting entirely of Norwegian and Russian characters have those characters — particularly Syvert — speaking like they're from East London? It doesn't make sense and it is never less than enraging. A book by a major literary star that feels like it was translated specifically for those who like their English in cockney? Why? The awful translation undoubtedly colored my view of the book, as I couldn't help but view Syvert as a lost character from Burgess' "Clockwork Orange." How did this milquetoast Alex DeLarge find himself in a Knausgård novel? I'm not sure I made it clear earlier, but I am a massive Knausgård fan. Truly. But this, for me, is a serious misfire. Perhaps, when the series is laid to rest, this second entry will be redeemed by dint of what comes after, but such redemption would be a miraculous turnaround — tantamount to the appearance of a huge new star in the sky. For now, though, I have to condemn this book not for being such a letdown, but simply for being such a massively dull book on its own. Bloated. Tired. Rudderless. A waterlogged corpse of a book.
xxx/ellauri422.html on line 362: Similarly, we might be able to hold the iPhone in our hands, but we should also be aware that the network of its consequences is vast: server farms absorbing massive amounts of electricity, Chinese factories where workers die by suicide, devastated mud pit mines that produce tin. It is easy to feel like a minimalist when you can order food, summon a car or rent a room using a single brick of steel and silicon. But in reality, it is the opposite. We are taking advantage of a maximalist assemblage. Just because something looks simple does not mean it is; the aesthetics of simplicity cloak artifice, or even unsustainable excess.

The bilateral "rhetoric" has escalated since ExxonMobil discovered massive oil deposits a decade ago off the coast of Essequibo. Curious how quickly the “narco-terrorist” label gets slapped on when the US wants to justify military action. It’s a playbook we’ve seen before—think Panama in the ‘80s or Colombia in the ‘90s. The US has a track record of using the drug war as a pretext for geopolitical moves, especially in Latin America.

As the son of the local doctor, Howard had frequent exposure to the effects of injury and violence, due to accidents on farms and oil fields combined with the massive increase in crime that came with the oil boom. In 1920, Cross Plains struck oil and became an oil boomtown. Thousands of people arrived in the town looking for oil wealth. "I'll say one thing about an oil boom; it will teach a kid that Life's a pretty rotten thing as quick as anything I can think of."
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 322: Historically, colonial-era violence and forced cultural change caused massive harm; many historians and advocates argue moral responsibility rests with colonial institutions and successor states/churches. Of the modern institutions, some churches and governments have issued apologies or reparative measures; others have not. Many Tupi-descended communities and Indigenous organizations seek recognition, land rights, restitution, and cultural revitalization rather than only verbal apologies.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 607: Why it can seem like indifference? Poverty and development priorities: Brazil faces massive inequality, urban crime, infrastructure gaps, and economic pressures. Indigenous issues compete with demands from millions of poor non-indigenous Brazilians. Amazon development (soy, cattle, mining) has historically been pushed for jobs and growth, sometimes clashing with land protections. This isn't unique to Brazil—similar tensions exist in Canada, Australia, the U.S., and Indonesia, i.e. wherever the Western colonialists pushed their dirty dicks.

xxx/ellauri492.html on line 255: "Paraíba River" refers to three distinct rivers in Brazil. The most prominent is the Paraíba do Sul, a major 1,137-kilometer waterway in the heavily populated southeast that flows through São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, supplying water and serving as an important industrial corridor. Paraíba do Norte River: Located in the northeastern state of Paraíba. It is known for its wide estuary near the state capital, João Pessoa. Paraiba Meio on joku jokipahanen siinä välissä. All three rivers share the name Paraíba because they were named using the Tupi language, an indigenous language family widely spoken by the native tribes of Brazil before European colonization. It means "Bad or unusable river": Historically, this meant the river was unnavigable or difficult to travel due to rough waters, waterfalls, or shallow points. Or "River that turns into the sea": This refers to the massive, wide estuaries where the freshwater meets the ocean, which is especially noticeable at the mouth of the Paraíba do Norte. Or "Arm of the river": A reference to how the river basin branches off. Take your pick.
