All that changes on Christmas day when Maniac discovers something that will break his heart. He allows Maniac to stay with him,and as seasons pass, they develope a strong friendship. ![]() The caretaker lives in a sports locker room.

The Rolling Stones references are particularly well done.Įvanovich fans are split right down the middle as to which suitor Stephanie should choose. ![]() Sally Sweet, Grandma Mazur, and Joyce Barnhardt all take a turn as well. There is Lula, Stephanie’s ex-ho sometimes partner, who makes a great showing (both literally and figuratively) as she moonlights as a cabaret singer. There is the mandatory misunderstood con - in this case, Melvin, a man who gets caught trying to self-satisfy in a movie theatre. Stephanie and her crew of eccentrics chase down criminals to convince them to reschedule their court dates. The storyline is similar to other Evanovich novels. Readers like me, however, the loyal readers of Evanovich, the ones who have been with her since One for the Money, are going to be, at best, disappointed. Readers new to the bounty-hunting world of Plum, Morelli, and the delectable Ranger will be amused and charmed by this novel. ![]() Twelve Sharp, Janet Evanovich’s twelfth Stephanie Plum novel, is light, funny, and peopled with memorable, lovable characters. ![]() ![]() Later, we developed other mechanisms -such as calendars, filing cabinets, computers, and smartphones- to help us organize and store the information we’ve written down. ![]() They effectively extended the natural limits of human memory by preserving some of their memories on clay tablets and cave walls, and later, papyrus and parchment. ![]() The first humans who figured out how to write things down around 5,000 years ago were in essence trying to increase the capacity of their hippocampus, part of the brain’s memory system. ![]() More than just remembering things wrongly, “we don’t even know we’re remembering them wrongly.” … It’s also the story of how the most successful members of society-from successful artists, athletes, and warriors, to business executives and highly credentialed professionals-have learned to maximize their creativity, and efficiency, by organizing their lives so that they spend less time on the mundane, and more time on the inspiring, comforting, and rewarding things in life.” Memory The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload, a book by Daniel Levitin, explores “how humans have coped with information and organization from the beginning of civilization. ![]() ![]() ![]() Salomé was published for the first time in the original French in Paris in 1893. Wilde’s version of the story has proved fertile ground (as we shall see below) for theatrical producers and illustrators.Īlthough there was a ban on depicting biblical figures on the stage in the late 19th century, there was no such restriction on printed works. The climax sees Salomé kiss the bloody mouth of the decapitated Jokanaan before she, in turn, is killed on Herod’s orders. Salomé, enraged that Jokanaan has rejected her impassioned advances, uses her feminine guile to put Herod in a position where he has no choice but to have Jokanaan killed. ![]() ![]() Wilde’s interpretation of the story places the emphasis on Salomé as a hyper-sexualised and empowered woman, using his extensive understanding of nuance in the French language to heighten the drama. Salomé, the daughter of Herodias and stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, demands the head of Jokanaan (aka John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for performing the dance of the seven veils for her step-father.

Whether you call them "gummy" or "gummi," whether you prefer bears or worms, whether your loyalty lies with Haribo or Black Forest, there’s no denying that the gelatinous, rainbow-colored candies most of us first came to know and love simply as “gummy bears” are one of the world’s most popular confections. ![]() ![]() To complement our considerable research talent, DisneyResearch|Studios maintains a close academic partnership with ETH Zürich-supporting joint research programs and PhD students-but also collaborates with the best of academia and industry from all over the world.
