![]() ![]() I literally spent 319/323 pages reading about America's ever-changing feelings for Aspen and Maxon, which, by the way, was by far one of the most infuriating and unrealistic love triangles I have ever read about. Just a reminder, in case you're thinking about ripping me apart.* I don't like to bash books and insult the author, but I will say why I did give it such a low rating, in a hopefully non-rude way. Which, by the way, is extremely disappointing, considering that I really did like the first book. ![]() This was just one books of those books that was not my cup of tea. ![]() I spent a good hour thinking about a reason, any reason to rate it two, but I can't. So, you see my rating, and you're probably like, ONE STAR? And my answer is yes, one star. When someone else remembers some great story about me/us that I’ve forgotten. Not walking up but looking at a beautiful staircase. Spending an hour typing at a coffee shop. That my wedding dress was tea length, not floor. ![]() ![]() This patina makes Gainsborough's artistic character particularly difficult to define.Ģ50 years after Gainsborough painted his last picture, art historians have to pick up the pieces to recreate his artistic personalityĪrguably Gainsborough was blessed with more natural ability than any of his contemporaries in Britain. Gainsborough's link with female beauty encouraged advertisers to use his name to promote ladies' cigarettes, cosmetics including powder compacts and even a 'Gainsborough Genuine Hair Net: The Net of the Life-like Lustre'. The taste for Gainsborough straddled the Atlantic, where robber barons such as Henry Clay Frick and Henry Edwards Huntington bought exceptional examples in the early twentieth century.

As TV productions go, "Colour of Magic" (and "Hogfather") are like watching filmed theatre it is a stage setting rather than film scenery and the acting certainly is superb. It took him a while to get into the fun of things but he didn't need clarification on anything, so the story line cant' have been too hacked. I've watched it with someone who doesn't know the books and had, in fact, never heard of Terry Pratchett. They have made a creditable effort to cram the most important bits in. Only 8 out of 10 because I would - of course - have loved to have everything in it ( I would also have liked a big "Lord of the Rings" budget and effort on this). ![]() ![]() ![]() “It would have been a problem for the freedom of the media to do what we were created to do - namely to run a journalistic business, including satirical cartoons - if we had been convicted," Jensen said. ![]() Not just for us, but for all media in Denmark.” On Wednesday, Jensen called it “a very happy day.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court said “that neither the caricature drawing nor the photograph of The Little Mermaid with a mask on, which was brought to Berlingske in connection with newspaper articles, infringed the copyright of the heirs to the sculpture The Little Mermaid.” The Berlingske newspaper published the cartoon in 2019 to illustrate an article about the level of debate in Denmark and used the photo in 2020 to represent a link between the far right and people fearing COVID-19.Ĭopenhagen’s district court and the Eastern High Court found in 20 that the cartoon and the photo were infringements of the Danish Copyright Act, and ordered the newspaper - one of Denmark's largest - to pay the heirs of Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen thousands of kroner in compensation.

Since Brené can back up everything she says with research, I believe her when she writes that vulnerability-which she defines as being brave enough to "show up and let ourselves be seen"-is the catalyst for human connection. But when you read her books, it's obvious she's interested in helping people live their best lives. I'm tempted to say, "Girl, what took you so long?" Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston who spends her days poring over data. When I first meet Brené Brown at Harpo Studios, where she's come to tape an episode of "Super Soul Sunday," I feel as if I'm reuniting with a long-lost friend. Now this brainy, sassy Texan talks to Oprah about shame, courage, faith, her unlikely Internet stardom, and why daring to "show up and be seen" is the key to everything we want in life. A professor of social work, Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, studied vulnerability for more than a decade-which led to a witty, soul-baring TED Talk (viewed by more than eight million people) and a best-selling book. ![]() |
