Overall, Flemings claimed to have made a 40% return on investments in US railroads. Flemings assumed a central role in the 1886 battle with Jay Gould for control of the Texas & Pacific Railway, in which the Flemings bondholder group ultimately triumphed.

Met Lessen heeft Ian McEwan misschien wel zijn meest persoonlijke roman tot nu toe geschreven. Een tijdsgewricht dat dichtbij McEwan zelf ligt. Meesterschrijver McEwan weet het leven van Roland moeiteloos te verweven met de grote gebeurtenissen van onze recente geschiedenis: van de Suezcrisis naar de Cubacrisis en van de val van Muur tot de klimaatcrisis en de huidige pandemie. Gemiste kansen, verloren liefdes, muziek, vrienden, literatuur, seks en politiek, álles komt voorbij. Jaren later, als zijn vrouw Alissa plotsklaps verdwenen is en hij met hun vier maanden oude zoontje achterblijft, gaat Roland niet alleen op zoek naar haar, maar ook naar het waarom van zijn rusteloze bestaan. Ver weg van waar hij zijn idyllische jeugd doorbracht, trekt hij de aandacht van zijn pianolerares, Miriam Cornell. Als de wereld nog steeds te kampen heeft met de gevolgen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog en het IJzeren Gordijn een feit is, wordt de 11-jarige Roland door zijn ouders ondergebracht op een Engelse kostschool. And Nusrat's persimmon-tree school awaits Najmah's arrival. Najmah, seeking refuge and hoping to find her father and brother, begins the perilous journey through the mountains to cross the border into Pakistan. As the two look to the skies for answers, their fates entwine. Najmah's father had always assured her that the stars would take care of her, just as Nusrat's husband had promised that they would tell Nusrat where he was and that he was safe. She waits out the war in Peshawar, Pakistan, teaching refugee children under the persimmon tree in her garden while her Afghan doctor husband runs a clinic in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. An American woman, Elaine, whose Islamic name is Nusrat, is also on her own. Najmah, a young Afghan girl whose name means "star," suddenly finds herself alone when her father and older brother are conscripted by the Taliban and her mother and newborn brother are killed in an air raid. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.Īs she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Other people have better lives than I do. “A must-have resource for anyone looking to get control of their thoughts.”-Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 MinistriesĪre your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. You can choose hope in the midst of chaos. The visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering challenges you to exercise your God-given power to shift negative thinking patterns and take back control of your thoughts and emotions. Beyond water, I often refer to plants, animals, and organic materials and substances found at a microscopic level – molecules, particles, etc. My work often refers to water as an element that evokes permanent transformation and movement, an ungraspable substance that has the ability to symbolically teach us humans how to become ungraspable ourselves, how to upset the processes of identification and assignation that dominant discourses attempt to implement to maintain power. I’m particularly interested in the political and utopian dimensions of seas and oceans, the receptacle of many stories of domination – slavery, colonization, capitalism, environmental crisis – but also the origin of an important number of myths and emancipatory stories in many cultures. Josèfa Ntjam: My interest in water developed from my research into fluidity and hidden memories. How did that interest develop and what can it tell us about humans? Contemporary And: From water to climate change, you engage with the non-anthropocentric in your practice. Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. Whenever necessary and possible we share staff, educational, and financial resources with our affiliates. We have some eighty-five affiliate organizations all across the South-one being the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of “outsiders coming in.” I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every Southern state with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day and I would have no time for constructive work. While confined here in the Birmingham City Jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” abridged In 2013, King was named “Swedens best emplower” in a survey.

One year later, Denmark recognized the independence of Sweden in the Treaty of On JSweden rebelled and the Kalmar Union fell apart.

When Callisto found a place to rest in the forest, she put down her bow and her spear. The values of this cult were nature, hunting and chaste given Artemis was a virgin goddess. In the woods, his attention is caught by a beautiful huntress, Calisto the daughter of King Lycaon.Ĭallisto is described as a warrior of Diana, which means she was a devout follower of Artemis or part of the cult of Artemis. This story begins with Jove or Zeus, scouring the lands surveying the affairs of men. The first story is the tragic tale of Callisto. As with all these stories I will mention then Roman names of the deities but for the most part to make it easier for everyone including myself I’ll be referring to them by the Greek names. Today we will be looking at 5 stories, some of which are well known and others less so. Many of these myths are very similar to their Greek counterparts and others have slight changes. In between, there are around 250 myths, based on the theme of Metamorphosis being transformed into something else. Metamorphoses, which means Books of Transformations, details the history of the world from its creation all the way until the death of Julius Caesar.
