Ac gaughen5/13/2023 “It’s very humbling to receive this honor, especially since it’s named in honor of a woman who has contributed so much,” Barata said. Named in honor of longtime community activist and Stars founding board member Rosemary Wahlberg, the award is given annually to an individual who has followed Wahlberg’s example of providing leadership and extraordinary commitment to improving the lives of South Shore families and children. The director of coaching for Easton Youth Soccer and a youth minister at Holy Cross Church, Barata was selected for the award in recognition of his many charitable and civic activities, including leading hundreds of high school students on community service trips to Appalachia. In addition to the 40 award recipients, John Barata of Hanson was presented with Stars’ Rosemary Wahlberg Children’s Choice Award. “And if I can do it with cupcakes on t-shirts, then you can do it with anything.” “The real success in life is doing what you love,” he said. Earle, who has stores in Boston and Los Angeles and soon will open a store in London, said the best part about having his own business is being able to give back to the community.

Guillermo del toro the fall5/13/2023 That’s probably why the protagonist of del Toro’s quite excellent 1993 vampire film Cronos also deals in antiques. It makes sense to me that they make Setrakian, their septuagenarian Van Helsing, a pawnbroker who sifts through mountains of ancient junk, occasionally finding an essential grimoire or a silver-backed mirror, since that’s essentially what they’re doing picking and choosing their favorite bits from dusty tales and putting them to new use. To me what earns del Toro a spot on my list of Awesomest People Ever-a list I actually keep taped to the head of my bed so that I can get a taste of awesomeness each morning I wake up-is the fact that he transforms his subject matter through his sheer exuberance for it. They aren’t the most literary vampire books ever written, but they have something that most modern bloodsucker fiction lacks: A love of the myth.

The bridge of luis rey5/13/2023 The Bridge of San Luis Rey book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The first UK edition says 1927 on the bottom of the title page and there is no references to subsequent impressions on the copyright page or the title page.

The iron king series5/12/2023 In an unusual direction for such tokusatsu programs, it is not the heroic but often surprisingly ruthless Gentaro but the bumbling, bespectacled Goro who has the power to become the giant cyborg superhero Iron King by touching the medals on the sides of his unique red Turning Hat and shouting "Iron Shock!" when danger threatens. In response to this terrorist threat, Japan's National Security Organization sends agent Gentaro Shizuka (pop star Shoji Ishibashi), disguised as what can best described as a spaghetti western version of a singing cowboy, to stop their plans with the assistance of the comical Goro Kirishima ( Mitsuo Hamada). Each armored ninja-like member of the clan controls a gigantic robot warrior in order to overthrow the "Yamato Government," as they call it. The Shiranui Clan have planned for 2000 years to conquer Japan in retaliation for their nomadic ancestors being banished from the country by the Yamato Clan (who eventually became known as the Japanese people).

Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough5/12/2023 Drawing on interviews about their experiences with members of the underground & the FBI, Days of Rage is a look into the hearts & minds of homegrown terrorists & federal agents alike, weaving their stories into a secret history of the '70s.īryan Burrough joined Vanity Fair in August 1992 and has been a special correspondent for the magazine since January 1995. But Squad 47 itself broke laws in its attempts to bring the revolutionaries to justice. The FBI’s response included the formation of a secret task force, Squad 47, dedicated to hunting the groups down. Burrough's Days of Rage recreates an atmosphere almost unbelievable decades later, conjuring a time of native-born radicals, often nice middle-class kids, smuggling bombs into skyscrapers & detonating them inside the Pentagon & the Capitol, at a Boston courthouse & a Wall Street restaurant. The FBI combated these & other groups as nodes of a single revolutionary underground dedicated to the violent overthrow of the USA. From the bestselling author of Public Enemies & The Big Rich, an account of the battle between the FBI & revolutionary movements of the '70s: Weathermen, The Symbionese Liberation Army, The FALN, The Black Liberation Army. The names seem quaint now, but then bombings by domestic underground groups were daily occurrences.

Uprooted novik5/11/2023 While this is expected in a series, I love the way Novik managed it over the course of a single book. The world grows larger and the stakes increase as we go. My favorite part of this novel was the world Novik created and the magic within it. This is not to say that it’s a fast read, though the pacing is exciting, but it is a difficult novel to put down once you’ve picked it up. I began reading it on Sunday afternoon and finished it by Monday night. But happily, Uprooted was one such novel. It’s not as often as I would like that I stay up too late reading a book, remain plagued as I try to fall asleep, and wake up the next morning with the delicious feeling of being emptied out and filled all at once. Naomi Novik’s Uprooted is an exciting and imaginative novel with a beautiful blend of magic, world-building, and nature. |
