I’d love to see more work done on how to optimize technology and information to expose people more to differing viewpoints and puncture filter bubbles, which is something we’ve been trying to do at SmartNews for quite a while. The fact that technology can be used to overcome social divisions rather than just exacerbate them. The following has been condensed and edited for clarity and length: We spoke about the hype cycle around generative AI, how it will make media literacy even more crucial, and the inevitability that there are some problems technology just can’t solve. This week I spoke with Rich Jaroslovsky, a veteran of digital media and former tech columnist who is now vice president for content at SmartNews, an app that algorithmically evaluates and curates the news for its users. Welcome back to our weekly feature, The Future in 5 Questions.

BUT the adding and adding to the plot was absolutely ridiculous! o_OAll in all, Real Mermaids Don't Hold Their Breath is a light and fluffy read that I would definitely recommend for younger teens, but I'm not so sure that every one will like it, considering my reaction to the plot. Don't get me wrong, I love action! But honestly, so many different things were happening in the plot at one time, and so many things that really shouldn't have happened kept happening.and AHH! I'd just better leave it at that. It's like reading a commentary to a real life event, which was cool.I think that my only real problem with Real Mermaids Don't Hold Their Breath is that it's just a tad bit too action-packed. On the other hand, I don't have any confusion about what happened between books, (hint: nothing) because of the no-gaps-between-story-lines thing.Jade was still an awesome and true to life kind of character, but I really feel like she grew in this one, maybe matured? I really liked reading through her point of view, because her sense of humor is absolutely to die for and her inner monologue is absolutely awesome. Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.Real Mermaids Don't Hold Their Breath picked up right where Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings (what a mouthful of a name!) left off, which gave me a little bit of time to get back into the story, but it didn't really give me any time to get reacquainted with the characters. And Jane would rather go to prison for life than reveal the secrets that could save her. She had opportunity, access, the weapon, and a motive―and she’s hiding something else.

There may be other suspects in the victim’s orbit―his harried assistant, his wrathful wife, his overly attached daughter―but everything points to Jane’s guilt. For Allison, getting close to her client now grows more complicated with each new development in the case. It’s Allison’s job to believe Jane, even if Allison never really knew her. She’s retained Allison Barton, her former law school roommate, to represent her. Yet she’s become the most likely suspect in the crime. Unflappable and cool, she’s the last person likely to suddenly snap and murder one of her firm’s senior partners. What is more dangerous? The lies she tells or the truth she’s hiding? Jane Knudsen is an exceptionally private and intimidatingly beautiful workaholic attorney.

Jean-Jacques Pauvert, Sceaux 1954, 12x19cm, broché. George Bird Grinnell, one of the first to write sympathetically about Colorado’s Native Americans, explores Bent’s Fort (now reconstructed by the National Park Service) as that relatively harmonious gathering place for Indians and palefaces alike. Native American voices like Linda Hogan (Chickasaw) and Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk (Ute) are found in these pages as are so many of the place names inherited from this region’s earlier inhabitants. Just skimming these literary locales should leave you looking forward to more from authors who have elevated the highest state with their words. Your favorites are probably here, but Anderson also introduces us to lesser-known writers and poets. Where would Troy be without its Homer? In this crackerjack anthology, Peter Anderson has assembled passages from writers who have put places on Colorado’s literary map. In the long run, often it is eloquent writers who keep a place memorable. "Reading Colorado" matches writers with a diverse landscape Close It’s no good to say a book is “the next Penderwicks” or “Penderwicks meets ”. Now librarians must wade through the lot of them in the desperate hope that maybe one or two will be worth recommending. Imitators weren’t immediate, but as time has gone by they’ve cropped up like so many unwanted dandelions. Birdsall followed in her predecessors’ footsteps and did something unforgiveable: she made it look easy. Books that are touching a meaningful but never saccharine. Well, the creation of The Penderwicks was a good deed to children across the world in need of great fiction that’s homey and familiar without being cloying. A crime shared, I might add, by books written by authors like Dr. When Jeanne Birdsall’s first middle grade novel The Penderwicks was published in 2005 it committed a crime. Ginsburg wrote the book's preface, while Hartnett and Williams contextualize each part and the selections, which include law review articles, speeches, briefs and dissents. "I pray that I may be all that she would have been, had she lived in an age when women could aspire and achieve, and daughters are cherished as much as sons."Ī copy of the speech appears roughly halfway into the new book, My Own Words, a collection of the justice's writings and remarks curated by Ginsburg and her biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. "It is to my mother, Celia Amster Bader, the bravest, strongest person I have known, who was taken from me much too soon," she said in a slow, measured voice. "I have a last thank-you," the petite judge said in the Rose Garden in June 1993, with President Bill Clinton at her side and the microphones on the podium angled down to accommodate her small stature. More than 40 years later she alluded to this loss when she accepted her nomination to the U.S. Her mother died of cancer just two days before the ceremony. Ruth Bader Ginsburg never made it to her own high-school graduation to deliver the remarks she was supposed to give there. In this evocative portrait of midcentury England, Bethan Roberts reimagines the real life relationship the novelist E. The two lovers must share him, until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed. Tom is their policeman, and in this age it is safer for him to marry Marion and meet Patrick in secret. Patrick is besotted, and opens Tom's eyes to a glamorous, sophisticated new world of art, travel, and beauty. A few years later near the Brighton Museum, Patrick meets Tom. He teaches her to swim, gently guiding her through the water in the shadow of the city's famous pier and Marion is smitten-determined her love alone will be enough for them both. It is in 1950's Brighton that Marion first catches sight of Tom. “Stunning…fraught and honest.” - New York Times Book Review Now a motion picture starring Harry Styles, Emma Corrin, and David Dawson, an exquisitely told, tragic tale of thwarted love.
