Meanwhile, her father believes that if he works hard, their family will be treated just like white Americans. For the first time in her life, Regina comes face to face with the viciousness of racism, personally and toward her new friends. She's never met kids of other races, and they've never met a real Indian. Regina finds a whole new world in her neighborhood on 58th Place. Now that they've been forced from their homeland, Regina's father signs the family up for the federal Indian Relocation Program and moves them to Los Angeles. But when the federal government enacts a law that says Regina's tribe no longer exists, Regina becomes "Indian no more" overnight-even though she lives with her tribe and practices tribal customs, and even though her ancestors were Indian for countless generations. Her biggest worry is that Sasquatch may actually exist out in the forest. Regina Petit's family has always been Umpqua, and living on the Grand Ronde Tribe's reservation is all ten-year-old Regina has ever known. 6/29/2023 0 Comments The mystery of the blue train bookA month or so ago I tweeted about how I have spent the past two decades of my life attempting to listen to the BBC Radio adaptation of this novel and never made it all the way through.

Our story begins in 1902, at the Brookhants School for Girls. The award-winning author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post makes her adult debut with this highly imaginative and original horror-comedy centered around a cursed New England boarding school for girls-a wickedly whimsical celebration of the art of storytelling, sapphic love, and the rebellious female spirit Named a Most Anticipated Book by Entertainment Weekly "A multi-faceted novel, equal parts gothic, sharply funny, sapphic romance, historical, and, of course, spooky." -ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY exquisite." -Ron Charles, THE WASHINGTON POST what makes all this so much fun is Danforth's deliciously ghoulish voice. "A delectable brew of gothic horror and Hollywood satire. And physicists have been able to isolate ever larger molecules and keep them in states of quantum superposition. We see this in experiments, where particles that interact don’t experience collapse, but merely become entangled. The basic idea is that the wave function never collapses, it just becomes entangled with the waves of other quantum systems. Doing so leads to a deterministic theory that explain our observations and preserves realism and locality, which makes it broadly compatible with special and general relativity. Its central premise is that we should ask what happens if quantum systems evolve solely based on the Schrodinger equation. Nothing in Carroll’s book invalidated that description, so if you need the basics, check it out.Ĭarroll’s broad point is the MWI, in terms of the mathematical postulates, is the most austere interpretation. I gave a primer on this back in December. I was going to wait to post this until I’d completely finished, but all I’ve got left is the appendix, I perceive that I’ve gotten through the main points, and discussion on the previous post is veering in this direction.Īs widely reported, Carroll is an advocate for the Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics, generally known as the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI). I’m just about finished reading Sean Carroll’s Something Deeply Hidden. Pronounced sow-in, Samhain is a Gaelic word meaning 'end of the summer'. It is widely believed that many Hallowe'en traditions have evolved from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain which was Christianised by the early Church. The Orthodox Church celebrates All Saints' Day on the first Sunday after Passover - a date closer to the original 13th May. Gregory IV then made the festival universal throughout the Church, and 1st November has subsequently become All Saints' Day for the western Church. In the 8th century, on 1st November, Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel to all the saints in St. 1264), a day specially to honour those saints who didn't have a festival day of their own. It became All Saints' Day, a day to honour all the saints, and later, at the behest of Pope Urban IV (d. In the early 7th century Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon in Rome, formerly a temple to all the gods, as a church dedicated to Saint Mary and the Martyrs, and ordered that that date, 13th May, should be celebrated every year. The name derives from the Old English 'hallowed' meaning holy or sanctified and is now usually contracted to the more familiar word Hallowe'en. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast day itself. All Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is the day before All Hallows' Day, also known as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Queens of fennbirnOr: The Three dark crowns AU absolutely no one asked for.
