The closet, except in very particular circumstances, has been emptied by the progress of gay rights. ![]() As the creator of the Miss Butterwith series of cozy mysteries, he knows that the closet no longer works as an impetus to murder. “I’D … USED the blackmailed-for-being-homosexual, and except in the case of politicians and public figures, that motive had pretty much rusted to a standstill,” Christopher Holmes admits in Josh Lanyon’s first Holmes and Moriarity mystery, Somebody Killed His Editor (2009). ![]()

![]() Sure, it was a rough hundred years for the planet: the seas rose ten feet in the two-thousand-fifties, then forty feet more around 2100, and billions of people died. New York may be underwater, but it’s better than ever. This is the vision of the city in “ New York 2140,” a science-fiction novel by Kim Stanley Robinson, out last month. The poor live downtown, in Chelsea, which is half-submerged. The super-rich live uptown, in a forest of skyscrapers near the Cloisters. ![]() Workers in an inflatable raft are repairing the Flatiron dock a superintendent, in diving gear, is checking his buildings for leaks.

Moving into a broader field of research, I did try to link Norway more closely with Ned Westbury but also George Thomas of the Model Engineers Workshop Manual etc and Prof Dennis Chaddock of Quorn renown. When Norway died in OZ, it was revealed that he too had been a model engineer. His father was a postman rather than an engineer! Nevertheless, we still have the Westbury designs and castings available through HemingwayKits.

I enjoyed reading about Ruby and frequently related to her but, for me, Frankie Landau-Banks was all the more kick-ass, funny and just so memorable. On the surface, it's a high school tale of cliques, first loves and mischief - quite like the author's The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver and the other Ruby Oliver books. ![]() The story spoke to me on many levels and addressed issues that I have written articles on and feel very strongly about. but I, like every girl I know, could have done with the reassurance that being your own person is more important than fitting the mold and that women are worth more than just a chest measurement. And no, I never went to an elite prep school with a bunch of stuffy trainee 'old boys' and a 60 year old all-male secret society. Both highly political and incredibly funny - it's the book I wish I'd been given to see me through being a teenager and to prepare me for later life. If you're female and between the ages of about 12 and 25, I cannot think of a single reason why you shouldn't read this book. ![]() ![]() The formal similarity is an accident of phonological development and the forms do not share a common historical root, contrast this situation with that of polysemy. ![]() bar 'legal profession' and bar 'public house'. homonym Any set of words which share their form but have different meanings, e.g. semantics It is the study of meaning in language. grammar A level of linguistics which is concerned with the manner in which words combine together structurally to form sentences. syntax It is the study of sentence structure. morpheme The smallest unit in a grammar which can contrast with another and which carries meaning. keit and -heit in German (Heiterkeit, Schönheit) which vary according to the final consonant of the base to which they are suffixed but share the same grammatical function of nominal derivation.

John Franklin as Isaac is especially creepy. The short story is much better since it focuses more on the adults than the children, but this version is interesting as well with all the added elements in here about the ultra-religious community, which we learn a lot more about here. But when two adult out-of-towners arrive, it upends everything and starts a sort of mini rebellion in the super religious community. In it, a dark entity living within a Nebraska cornfield called “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” possesses children to murder all the adults in the area. And while I’ve seen four of the Corn movies, the only genuinely good one I’ve seen was the original. ![]() Not too shabby for a story that’s less than 50 pages long.
