Rachel’s suspenseful and insightful investigation into Scott and Kelly’s families eventually leads to answers about Jenny’s fate. Hannah continues to leave Rachel cryptic notes, but refuses to meet in person. Despite the time-consuming Blair trial, Rachel is intrigued by the cold case. After leaving the diner, Rachel finds a note on her car from a woman named Hannah, who wants her help in proving that Hannah’s older sister, Jenny Stiles, then 16, didn’t accidently drown 25 years ago, as was ruled, but was murdered. Rachel Krall, host of the popular true crime podcast Guilty or Not Guilty, heads to the small town of Neapolis to cover the rape trial. ![]() At the start of this outstanding thriller from Goldin ( The Escape Room), Rachel Krall, the producer of the popular true crime podcast Guilty or Not Guilty, stops after a long drive at a diner near Neapolis, N.C., where she’s planning to cover the high-profile trial of Scott Blair, an Olympic swimming contender accused of raping 16-year-old Kelly Moore. The Night Swim weaves together the stories of two vicious crimes against young women: one woman who is accusing a star athlete of rape, and one woman whose bruised body was pulled from the ocean 20 years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The note asks Isaac to identify whether he likes the note-writer by choosing either “yes” or “no”. The comic depicts a note to “Isaac”, a clear reference to Asimov's name, but possibly depicts what life would have been like for him as a child. In the end, the final computer figured out the answer, but there were no humans left to give the answer to. The computers always answered "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER". The comic is a reference to a short story by Isaac Asimov " The Last Question", where humans kept asking successively more complex computers whether entropy can be reversed, thereby preventing the heat death of the universe. 'I like you,' he declared to the void, 'but I don't LIKE like you.' ![]() Title text: The universe long dead, IsaAC surveyed the formless chaos. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Contagious book amazon![]() And because of the vast size of the Amazon rainforest, and rapid human encroachment into its little-known habitats, some scientists see Brazil as a likely cradle of a future pandemic. For reasons including their sheer number and diversity, the animals are a significant reservoir of pathogens that can sicken people. Some of the most devastating viruses that have infected humans over the past century have emerged from bats. He recently won a second grant, totaling just over $21,000, to continue his research. ![]() ![]() "We don't know anything," said Vieira, whose shoestring budget for his "least known species" project totaled about $3,000. And with limited funding available to researchers, scientists don't expect to unravel the Amazon's mysteries anytime soon. Beyond Planaltina, one of the better-known caves in the Amazon, countless other habitats – and bat species native to them – remain completely unstudied or undiscovered. In the depths of the world's largest rainforest, what science knows about wildlife is as limited as the jungle is vast. "I've never caught one of these here before," the scientist said, untangling the animal gently from a net he'd spread across the cave's mouth. Vieira trained his headlamp on a bat with a long, sharp nose. ![]() ![]() Just how big a chore he faces was easy to see during a July 2021 foray to the giant Planaltina cavern, where he sought to catch samples of the many species believed to be living there. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments American kingpin book![]() ![]() ![]() Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself–including ordering a hit on a former employee. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone–not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers–could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Book: “American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road” by Nick Biltonīook Description: In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything–drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons–free of the government’s watchful eye. ![]() ![]() ![]() For many years Anthony was credited as the founded of monasticism i.e. He is known to posterity because his contemporary, Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, wrote a long biography of him. Rumours and legends spread about his simple life and holiness, and soon he gained a following. Saint Anthony a.k.a Anthony the Great (c. 251 – 356) was a Christian monk and visionary who reacted against the increasing acceptance and normalisation of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire by becoming, first an ascetic, and then rejecting social life altogether by going to live in the Egyptian desert, to fast and pray by himself, relying only on gifts of food from pilgrims and local villagers. These images appear suddenly, as in flashes – outlined against the background of the night, like scarlet paintings executed upon ebony. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Namesake, the Oz story is now one part of a journey through a much larger.ĭo not spam or continue reading to other comic sites. The Oziad was a parody of The Wizard of Oz, featuring main characters who were dopplegangers of the author, her friends, and the main characters of Slayers. Namesake was based on an unfinished series of comics (called the "Oziad") posted on the artist's live journal. She finds out that these are places she already knows – fantasy and fairy lands made famous through the spoken word, literature. Describe your topic Namesake is the story of Emma Crewe, a woman who discovers she can visit other worlds. Namesake is the title of an ongoing fantasy webcomic created by Isabelle Melancon and Megan Lavey-Heaton. ![]() Unfortunately, because Isa's lungs are weak, we don't know what effect this will have on her health or when she'll be able to jump back to work. Namesake: We have four pages in the queue after today's update and will be running those, then we will be taking a short break to run guest art. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award winner Ken Liu calls Black Easter “a perfectly paced tale of terror and love that you cannot put down” which, as far as blurbs go, is indeed pretty neat. He’s one of my favorite people in the world, and I’m pleased as punch to be able to tell you a little about his new supernatural thriller Black Easter, before he tells you a bit about the hard parts of writing it. Morganfield, as well as his own international thriller Sutherland’s Rules, a kind of mad-cap drug smuggling misadventure ranging from California to London to Afghanistan and points between, and! his collection Free Verse and Other Stories. His fantastic 2009 anthology Panverse One was a direct inspiration to starting Bull Spec, and after three outstanding volumes in that all-original-novella series (and another anthology, Eight Against Reality) and his best-selling memoir of a year living in Greece ( Aegean Dream) he edited and published novels by Bonnie Randall, Doug Sharp, and T.L. I’ve got a fairly decent-sized section of my “favorites” bookshelf dedicated to Dario Ciriello, who since 2009 has edited and published Panverse Publishing. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Kill Creek by Scott Thomas![]() ![]() Thomas doesn’t spend time floating around with flowery language or writing confusing passages. Plans that will not only jeopardize their sanity, but their very lives. ![]() This results in the awakening of a powerful entity, one with plans for the authors. They’re invited to Kill Creek, a house in the middle of rural Kansas that’s considered one of the most haunted houses in America, for a Halloween publicity event. Kill Creek follows four famous horror novelists: Sam McGarver, a writer with a past who’s struggling to start his fifth book TC Moore, an abrasive novelist who likes to explore the blurring of pain and pleasure in her stories Daniel Slaughter, a religious man who writes Christian horror fiction aimed at teens and Sebastian Cole, a veteran horror writer who’s considered the King of Modern Horror. I’m really happy I made the decision to do so: this is probably one of the best scary stories and one of the best novels I’ve come across in a while. It sounded interesting, and nothing else I was finding in the catalog was really grabbing my attention, so I decided to listen to it. I discovered this novel, which came out on Halloween last year, on Audible as an audio book while looking for my next listen/read. ![]() |
