![]() ![]() ![]() I'm grateful to my colleagues at ARMA - NL working group ROADMAP NL Sedef Iskit, PhD, Ivo Schrijer, Ellen Schenk, Annemarie Vastenhouw-van der Linden, Elizabeth Groom, and Martijn Gerretsen, for their invaluable contribution to this project. It was heartening to see participants embrace the need for bottom-up initiatives to create a safe space for colleagues to share ideas and issues, resulting in a more resilient RMA community.ĭuring the Pecha Kucha presentation, I provided an overview of our efforts in exploring and designing a way toward the RM Roadmap in the Netherlands, aimed at enhancing the recognition of the RMA profession and raising standards in professionalization. I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a fantastic European journey, where I attended the EARMA annual conference in Prague and presented some of the exciting work being done by colleagues back in the Netherlands.Īt the conference, Elizabeth Groom and I shared our insights into peer support, intervision groups, and mentorship, which are vital components of the RMA community in Utrecht. ![]() ![]() Singer came back to the fruit store and waited until Antonapoulos was ready to go home. In the late afternoon the friends would meet again. Then after this good-bye Singer crossed the street and walked on alone to the jewellery store where he worked as a silverware engraver. The thin mute, John Singer, nearly always put his hand on his friend’s arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him. His job was to make candies and sweets, uncrate the fruits, and to keep the place clean. The Greek, Spiros Antonapoulos, worked for his cousin, who owned this fruit store. Then when they came to a certain fruit and candy store they paused for a moment on the sidewalk outside. He was always immaculate and very soberly dressed.Įvery morning the two friends walked silently together until they reached the main street of the town. His eyes had a quick, intelligent expression. His face was round and oily, with half-closed eyelids and lips that curved in a gentle, stupid smile. When it was colder he wore over this a shapeless grey sweater. In the summer he would come out wearing a yellow or green polo shirt stuffed sloppily into his trousers in front and hanging loose behind. The one who always steered the way was an obese and dreamy Greek. Early every morning they would come out from the house where they lived and walk arm in arm down the street to work. In the town there were two mutes, and they were always together. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Wizard by john varley![]() ![]() Both of them are fairly young and both of them have incurable diseases. Most of the novel, however, deals with two new characters and their exploits on the giant living body of Gaea. She must constantly keep re-earning her prize and is none too happy about it. She works for Gaea on a piecemeal basis, project by project, and her principal reward from Gaea is eternal youth, bit by bit. Gaby, in order to remain on Gaea with Rocky, has had a tougher road. ![]() Rocky can now talk to all of the creatures that live on the wheel, she has been given eternal youth, and she has been made the sole method of ferterilizing the Titanide’s eggs, making her essentially responsible for the survival of the species. When Gaea made Rocky the Wizard of Gaea, she also gave her certain powers to go with Rocky’s new station. This book takes place roughly 75 years after the end of Titan and the two main characters return, Rocky Jones and Gaby Plauget. Just as Titan begins in a somewhat normal universe and escalates into an absurd universe, so Wizard picks up at the same gonzo level where the first book ended and escalates into something even more absurd. ![]() To read my review of that book, click HERE. This is the second book of the Gaea Trilogy and this review is intended for readers who have already finished the first novel of the trilogy, Titan. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Sara raasch![]() These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch, $18, Amazon (Pre-Order) But don't worry, we have an exclusive reveal of its stunning cover to tide (pun totally intended) you over. The only bad news here is we'll have to wait until Jfor Balzer + Bray's release of These Rebel Waves. Trapped in the middle of this reinvigorated war are three teenagers: There's Adeluna, a soldier who helped overthrew Argrid Devereux, a pirate, or "Stream Raider," who deals in magic and becomes a target in the Argridian diplomat's abduction and Benat, the Crown Prince of Argrid and a heretic, who is obsessed with Grace Loray's magic. So, when an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks, the country quickly places blame on Grace Loray's people and their magic. ![]() ![]() Argrid is a country ruled by religion and has an inherent fear of Grace Loray's enchanted properties. ![]() Inspired by the Spanish Inquisition, Raasch's duology takes place on the magic-rich island of Grace Loray, which five years ago overthrew its oppressor country, Argrid. Even better? These Rebel Waves is only book one of the Snow Like Ashes author's new fantasy duology - and not only has Raasch given Bustle an exclusive look at book one's cover, but she has written a personal statement about why she decided to tackle the power of belief in her new series. Pirates, forbidden magic, revolution, and most of all, fervent religious belief are all intertwined in Sara Raasch's upcoming fantasy novel These Rebel Waves. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments The way by swann's![]() ![]() As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is this Penguin Classics edition of In Search of Lost Time that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, there has been no completely new rendering of Proust's French original into English. Since the original pre-war translation Remembrance of Things Past by C. This book established Proust as one of the greatest voices of the modern age - satirical, sceptical, confiding and endlessly varied in his responses to the human condition. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann's, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. The Way by Swann's is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. 1: The Way by Swann's is published in a new translation from the French by Lydia Davis in Penguin Classics. ![]() Click here to purchase from Rakuten Kobo One of the greatest, most entertaining reading experiences in any language, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time Vol. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout their three year creation in translating ‘Tree of Codes’ through dance, imagery and sound, McGregor, Eliasson and Jamie xx took Safran Foer’s artwork as their inspiration. ![]() ![]() These blurred and disorientating worlds provided a powerful point of departure for our collaboration on stage – where constellations of light, shadows, bodies, objects and sound dance at the edges of darkness" - Wayne McGregor Its post apocalyptic narrative and reinvention of the process of reading itself catapults your imagination into bracing liminal states. "Safran Foer's ‘Tree of Codes’ is an immersive sculptural work that brilliantly hovers between words and spaces, surfaces and layers, pasts and futures. The work was inspired by and created in response to Jonathan Safran Foer's ‘Tree of Codes’, an artwork in the form of a book carved from Safran Foer’s favourite novel, Bruno Schulz’s ‘The Street of Crocodiles’. In 2015, Wayne McGregor collaborated with visual artist Olafur Eliasson and Mercury Prize-winning producer and composer Jamie xx to create Tree of Codes , an evening-length contemporary ballet commissioned by the Manchester International Festival.

Duma Key isn’t a safe place for daughters.” If you mean to stay, Edgar, you mustn’t invite your daughter back. A pretty thing with blond hair? I may be confusing her with my own sister Hannah - I tend to do that, I know I do - but in this case, I think I’m right. Didn’t she? I seem to remember her waving to me. I think you have a daughter, and I believe she visited you. “Edgar, one is sure you’ll make a very nice neighbour, I have no doubts on that score, but you must take precautions. It serves as a taste of what Edgar Freemantle might experience upon relocating himself to Florida, to an idyllic beach-front residence called Duma Key: I was about a quarter of the way into Stephen King’s Duma Key and feeling a sense of growing dread and dark foreboding when I came upon this passage spoken by the elderly property owner Elizabeth Eastlake. ![]() Published by Hodder & Stoughton UK (as reviewed) ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Never Call Retreat by Bruce Catton![]() ![]() This is the third volume of Bruce Catton's centennial history of the Civil War. Even if you are not a fan of history this is an entertaining and interesting book. ![]() I will definitely look for more of the narrator's books. The narration is just as good as the writing. The author's little word sketches describing particular events and people are so good they are often quoted in other books on this topic. His extensive knowledge of the topic went with his talent for pointing out the relevant facts and showing how they affected the different events covered in the book. His writing is not just good history it is good literature. Bruce Catton was an excellent writer who painted pictures with words. He includes the political and social history so the book is not just about the battles. I would say Catton's books are as good as Shelby Foote's only shorter. Catton's books remain an excellent survey history of the period. There is nothing old fashioned or out of date about the information or the perspective of the writer. This is the third volume of the Centennial History of the Civil War written in the 1960's. Interesting, informative and well written. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Spoon river anthology george gray![]() ![]() James, Godwin Jones, Fiddler Jones, Franklin Jones, "Indignation" Jones, Minerva Jones, William ![]() Heston, Roger Higbie, Archibald Hill, Doc Hill, The Hoheimer, Knowlt Holden, Barry Hookey, Sam Howard, Jefferson Hueffer, Cassius Hummel, Oscar Humphrey, Lydia Hutchins, Lambert Hyde, Ernest Hainsfeather, Barney Hamblin, Carl Hatfield, Aaron Hawkins, Elliott Hawley, Jeduthan Henry, Chase Herndon, William H.
