Starfish, Maelstrom, and βehemoth make up a trilogy usually referred to as "Rifters" after the modified humans designed to work in deep-ocean environments. The last two volumes constitute one novel, but were published separately for commercial reasons.

He earned a Ph.D from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1991, from the Department of Zoology and Resource Ecology. Peter Watts (born Janu) is a Canadian science fiction author. It was the summary of the book which had me hooked to begin with, because my fangirlish senses were being overwhelmed by the fact of having so many supernatural and mythology creatures in one place. And I’m not usually one to hand over my book to my little sister, so I thought maybe that little action alone was saying something. I know I enjoyed this book the moment I actually took the time to recommend this to sister, who loved the summary. Could she be the link between the paranormals dying? Not everything is as it seems. Then there’s the weird dreams she’s been having, learning of untold prophecies and voices. That is, a huge epidemic is occurring with paranormals suddenly dying. Oddly enough, Evie always considered an IPCA-lifestyle normal because really, that’s as close Evie ever gets to being normal. She can see through paranormals’ glamours, which makes her a prized gem in the eyes of the IPCA. Her ex-boyfriend is a faery, her best friend is a mermaid, and she’s falling in love with a shapeshifter-what?! Well, this is the case for Evie, a sixteen year old girl working in the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA for short). Martha (voiced by Andrea Martin) - A female hippo who wears a big yellow and green checkered dress that often changes color.He also does things without considering the consequences, or how hard they could be, at first. George is often shown to be a trickster, by sneaking up on Martha numerous times to scare or prank her. George (voiced by Nathan Lane) - A male hippo who has a significant golden tooth, which replaced his other tooth that broke after an accident.As said, these only appeared in the first season. For example, in S1E13, George hypnotizes Martha to be a baby, just so he can go eat out of her cookie jar. There are a handful of episodes that are based off of the original books, such as Split Pea Soup.Īt the end of each B episode in the first season, there is a segment that combines the main elements featured in both episodes into one quick skit. While sometimes George and Martha don't get along with each other, they always make up and apologize later on. They also have an assortment of other animal friends who live in Happy Palms. Each episode features the two titular hippo friends, George and Martha, doing fun activities together such as going to the beach, roller skating, or playing pranks on each other, in the town they live in titled Happy Palms. The investigator must choose a response if a full evaluation is prevented by such obstacles as an endotracheal tube, language barrier, orotracheal trauma/bandages. 1a: Level of Consciousness (LOC) Instructions Order free copies of the Stroke Scale booklet. Interested in a portable, pocket-sized, laminated reference booklet for health professionals who administer the NIH Stroke Scale to stroke patients.

This assumption led to Du Fyrn Skulblaka, the Dragon War, a conflict between the elves and dragons that nearly destroyed both races. Someone unfamiliar with dragons might think that because they don’t speak, they are large carnivores capable of breathing fire, flying, mating, and causing destruction. Their primary nesting regions were in the center of the Hadarac Desert, as well as the Spine and Beor Mountains. Early HistoryĪccording to Heslant the Monk, before the arrival of the elves, dragons were mainly preoccupied with eating, breeding, and-until the creation of the Dragon Riders-stealing the dwarves’ sheep and gold (the dwarves still hold a grudge for this). Dwarven myth credits the gods Urûr and Morgothal with their creation, but regardless of whether the dragons’ origins are mythical in nature or not, they are extremely intelligent, telepathic beings prone to spontaneous acts of wild magic and intrinsically linked to the well-being of the land. Overviewĭragons have lived in Alagaësia for as long as the continent itself has existed. Maycomb is a town without train service, and its bus service “was erratic and seemed to go nowhere.” How does this lack of connection isolate the citizens of Maycomb, and how does that isolation affect how they see themselves and outsiders? Early in the novel, her longtime friend Henry Clinton tells her “you’re gonna see Maycomb change its face completely in our lifetime.” What does he foresee that Jean Louise cannot-or perhaps does not want to see?Ĥ.Think about the extended Finch family. Harper Lee writes, “Until comparatively recently in its history, Maycomb County was so cut off from the rest of the nation that some of its citizens, unaware of the South’s political predilections over the past ninety years, still voted Republican.” What are these predilections, and where do they originate? What is Harper Lee telling us about the period and the politics and attitudes of this small Southern town?ģ. If you have read Mockingbird, has the town changed in the intervening years? If so, how?Ģ. Describe the Maycomb of Go Set a Watchman. When Wa t c h m a n opens, Jean Louise Finch-now twenty-six and living in the North, in New York City-is returning to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama. Go Set a Watchman takes place more than twenty years after To Kill a Mockingbird begins. Mari has a “spirit twin” of a jaguar, who can help to protect her. Abbie ends up deciding to break out two particular inks with the help of her boyfriend, John. Supposedly it’s meant to house sick immigrants, but of course that’s just an excuse to lock people up. There people are fitted with GPS trackers and held against their will. Abbie is a young woman who’s been in trouble with the law, and has to do community service hours at her mother’s “inkatorium,” basically an internment camp for inks. At a time when people are doing things like kidnapping “inks” (people with tattoos) and dumping them across one of the borders, Mari and her friend Nely disappear. He meets and falls in love with Mari, an American citizen who was born in Guatemala. Journalist Finn Riordan is covering immigrant-related stories in a world where immigrants are required to wear identity tattoos and speak only English. I’m floored by Sabrina Vourvoulias’s dystopian fantasy Ink. More pagan-inspired than actual ritual, there’s drumming, Celtic face painting, flower crowns, a May Queen and a Green Man – not to mention a dramatic 40ft wicker man that gets burned at dusk. It’s a similar scene at Butser Ancient Farm’s eclectic Beltane Celtic Fire festival in Hampshire. The Beltane festival at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire. The majority of people are pagan, but Wiccans and Christians are also welcome, as well as their four-legged friends: “We’ve had cats, dogs, a bunny, ferrets … everybody’s welcome, as long as you keep your clothes on!” “There’s a full range from babies to old people with walkers and electric wheelchairs,” she says. Annelli Stafford, a practising “eclectic” pagan and the organiser of Beltane at Thornborough Henge in North Yorkshire, agrees: “It’s a really nice start to the year after a long, cold winter.” A regular since 2011, Stafford describes the energy and stunning skies at the three ancient henges, and the event’s welcoming spirit. “To be in a circle, to have a huge bel-fire and to jump the ashes into the full summer, it’s very life-enhancing,” says Adrian Rooke, a druid from the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), which runs druidry courses. One of the eight festivals in the “ wheel of the year”, Beltane is observed from 30 April to 1 May in the northern hemisphere and is an occasion for joyful ritual that marks the moment spring bursts into life, with fires, flower garlands – and perhaps a maypole. I t’s nearly Beltane, and pagans across the country are getting ready to celebrate. “It had a broader significance,” he said.įord then started looking into rules and regulations around dress codes and found himself being drawn back into history.
