The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Wilson's books are life-lines for children suffering with the same issues as her characters, giving them encouragement and telling them it will be ok. Her characters jump off the page at you, and are so appealing that you just can't help but fall in love with them. She tackles tricky subjects with honesty, compassion and huge emotional complexity. ![]() ![]() Although she had a conventional and happy upbringing Wilson has an amazing ability to enter the heads of children in tough situations and really sympathise with their issues, worries and concerns. Jacqueline Wilson has always tackled tough, and you might even say taboo, subjects in her literature for children adoption, loss, broken families and mental health issues being just a few. There is nothing of the traditional mum about Marigold! But there's something else you need to know about Marigold, she has bipolar disorder. Marigold is no ordinary mum, she's creative, covered in tattoos, likes to party, and dresses like a teenage girl. The Illustrated Mum is a story about two sisters Star and Dolphin, and their mum Marigold. ![]()

Movie tortured for christ5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() However, I believe that this lesson should be taken to heart by every person, whether they are a believer or not. Don’t curse them pray that God will bless them.” Persecution of this level is hard for many of us to understand fully. Scripture says in Romans 12:14, “Bless those who persecute you. The film is intended to be thought-provoking, and it raises the question, ‘What would I do in a similar position?’ Despite everything, Wurmbrand loves the Russian people before, during and after his imprisonment. Wurmbrand’s beatings and the torture machines used on him are depicted in a reasonably realistic fashion, showing the terrible ordeals that the persecuted Christians had to endure. “Tortured for Christ” is an interesting documentary-indie hybrid that doesn’t pull any punches. When he is captured by Soviet forces, he must discover if his faith is strong enough to endure. Their only 'crimes' were their faith and witness for Jesus Christ. ![]() Pastor Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years of imprisonment and brutal torture, while his wife, Sabina, was treated as a slave in a labor camp.

Set in Romania during World War II, “Tortured for Christ” provides a small glimpse into the horrors of the Communist persecution of Christians through the eyes of Richard Wurmbrand. ![]() Barefoot elin5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Brenda, Vickis younger sister, is an academic whose career is in turmoil after being caught having an affair with a student and damaging a valuable painting. Vicki, mother of two young children, has just been diagnosed with stage two lung cancer and is preparing to undergo chemotherapy. Each of the three key characters has come to the island haven of Nantucket in order to seek distance from a personal issue that is devouring them. If its an authors job to throw rocks at her characters, then Hilderbrand has upped the ante by hurling boulders at them instead. Once these opening credits slowly filter away, our lens zooms in and retains this close focus, alternating between the three main characters of Vicki, Brenda and Melanie, with the occasional moment of reflection from Josh. ![]() Josh, whos studying creative writing and is in search of a story to follow, is intrigued by the woman and their odd dynamics. Elin Hilderbrands' Barefoot'opens with a scene akin to a drawn-out framing shot in a Steven Spielberg movie: through airport attendant Josh Flynns eyes we see three woman disembarking from a plane, each lost somewhere beneath a personal burden. ![]() Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() She says if you can be celibate for 3 mo I’ll have sex with you.īack at the club the glint in his eye appears and he finally finds a purpose.

Those are pricier than EVs like the little Bolt hatchback, which General Motors discontinued in favor of pickups. They’re more resource-intensive, too. The demand side – that is, consumer preferences – plays an important role, too.There are full-size EV pickups that can power homes, and some drivers do need big vehicles. ![]() For 2022, the firms involved in the mining and manufacturing for those accounted for 27% of Tesla’s total emissions, reports Quartz.But the supply side isn’t the only thing to consider as we think about EVs and making the future work. And such “Scope 3” emissions – including those of suppliers – represented the deepest part of the product line’s carbon footprint.Batteries are a big factor. But this time, in Tesla’s report, it was part of the tally. What should we make of a recent report from carmaker Tesla reminding us that, even though its cars have no tailpipes, there are significant carbon emissions associated with getting them built and on the road?It’s worth thinking about, though there’s a lot more at play when it comes to electric vehicles and CO2 emissions.The vast network needed to supply raw materials and component parts for EVs makes for difficult accounting. ![]() Second book of miss peregrine5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
