Since the previous Eilat Conference (EILAT IX-2008) two new AEDs eslicarbazepine acetate and lacosamide have been marketed and three new AEDs in development not included in the EILAT IX manuscript were added: ICA-105665, perampanel and valnoctamide. 'Tenth of December' is one of the freshest and most compelling contemporary short stories, but it is almost impossible to talk about the story and its meaning without making it sound trite: something along the lines of, 'A boy helps a suicidal man find the will to live,' or, 'A suicidal man learns to appreciate the beauty of life. These include brivaracetam, carisbamate, 2-deoxy-glucose, ganaxolone, huperizine A, ICA-105665, NAX-5055, retigabine, perampanel, T-2007, valnoctamide and YK3089. Like the previous EILAT (EILAT IX) manuscript, the current (EILAT X) manuscript focuses only on the preclinical and clinical pharmacology of AEDs that are currently in development. Consistent with previous formats of this conference, a large part of the program was devoted to a review of AEDs in development, as well as updates on AEDs introduced since 1994. About 200 basic scientists, clinical pharmacologists and neurologists from 25 countries attended the conference, whose main themes included learning from the past: Lessons learnt after 18 years of Eilat Conferences and Detecting assessing and preventing adverse effects of AEDs. The Tenth Eilat Conference on New Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs)-EILAT X, took place in Eilat, Israel from the 25th to 29th of April 2010.

5/21/2023 0 Comments Precious sapphire bookI have done an extensive review of both, pruning what is a vast and ever-increasing sprawl into a vineyard containing the most select and delectable vintages. My personal library contains over two thousand volumes, along with a digital reference database of over 6000 entries relating to gems. And thus, the knowledge of them is not easily found in banal country rock, but instead scattered in precious pockets where the creator hides her treasures. Thus, if one truly wishes to become a Zen master of ruby and sapphire, you will need to drill deeply into the ancillary literature. Even so, there are few monographs specifically devoted to these gems. The literature on ruby and sapphire is extensive and over the past twenty years has greatly expanded. Thus, in all of my writings I have made the conscious decision to clearly document my source material. The advancement of civilization is a direct result of previous discovery and the bibliography represents the genealogical record. The prevailing thought is that any form of scholarship will alienate a wide audience. When it comes to essays intended for the general reader, a reference list is often an afterthought, if present at all. Introduction to collecting books on ruby & sapphire (corundum) A discussion of the literature of ruby and sapphire (corundum), with particular emphasis on the most collectible books covering ruby and sapphire around the world. She befriends two boys: Will, a quarterback and most likely the reincarnation of Arthur, and Miles, who has psychic flashes and is most likely the reincarnation of Merlin. Allie meets various new people who she later discovers are the reincarnations of figures from the legendary Camelot. Plot Īllie Pennington, the daughter of two medieval literature scholars, enrolls at Avalon High and becomes involved in a prophesied re-staging of Arthurian legend.

Avalon High is a 2010 Disney Channel Original Movie starring Gregg Sulkin, Britt Robertson, Joey Pollari, and Devon Graye. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Messenger by Lois LowryOn one of his journeys, Matty also discovers his gift: He is able to heal a frog with a severed leg. Therefore, Matty wishes that one day he will be a full member of the village when he receives what he feels should be his true name, "Messenger." Matty, however, is able to go through the paths in the forest without being harmed by it, so the village leader tasks him with delivering messages to the other towns in the region. For example, it warns people by stinging them with twigs, and when the warnings are ignored and the forest is entered again, the intruder is killed. Matty's town is surrounded by a mysterious forest, which seems to be alive and deadly. They have changed Matty, who once was one of those refugees, from being "the fiercest of the fierce" to a decent young man. Matty, the protagonist, is a teenage boy who lives with his blind guardian called Seer in a village simply called "Village." The community is a utopian place where the selfless inhabitants help each other as much as possible they even provide the constant stream of new arrivals with food, clothes, shelter, and education.

They sometimes retain physical traits from their divine parents, like hair and eye color, or personality traits, like cunning or bravery. Simbajonĭemigods are the offspring of gods and mortals, meaning one of their parent was a god and other a mortal. Demigod means half-god, technically meaning a demigod is a god/human hybrid. Perhaps the most famous of these are the three daughters of Bathala– the demigods Mayari, Hanan & Tala. I often get asked about “demigods” in Philippine Mythology and it turns out this is something that most certainly occurs in some myths and epics.

Summoned for an interview at the firm then known as Pearn, Pollinger and Higham, I found myself facing, across a desk, an elegantly suited gentleman who-I suddenly realized at about the same moment as the penny dropped for him-was none other than my Rice Corps bar companion. I did wonder at the time whether he might not have been trying to pick me up, a suspicion that Spurling’s biography and the new collection of Scott’s letters have done nothing to dispel.Ī decade later, with Cambridge behind me, I was trying to break into the London literary world, and decided I needed an agent. I was an NCO in what was euphemistically described as “Special Duties,” that is, intelligence, but more often meant taking on any odd job for which no one else could be found Paul was an air supply captain who had been commissioned into the Service Corps, unkindly known to the Rifle Brigade or the Gurkhas as, in the words of his biographer Hilary Spurling, “the Rice Corps, Flying Grocers, or Jam Stealers and generally considered to be about as low as it was possible to get in the Indian Army.” We eyed each other’s shoulder-chips with sympathy over drinks, and got on extremely well. I first met Paul Scott at Firpo’s bar on Chowringhee in Calcutta in 1944. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Riane eisler chalice and the bladeBriefly, her thesis is that, despite old narratives about an inherently flawed humanity, more and more evidence shows humanity is not doomed to perpetuate patterns of violence and oppression. The book is now in 26 foreign editions, including most European languages as well as Chinese, Japanese, Urdu, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and Turkish. These challenge conventional views about cultural evolution up to the time of the book's publication. The book closes with two contrasting future scenarios. She traces this tension in Western culture from prehistory to the present. Eisler proposes tension between these two underlies the span of human cultural evolution. The author presents a conceptual framework for studying social systems with particular attention to how a society constructs roles and relations between the female and male halves of humanity.Įisler highlights the tension between what she calls the dominator or domination model and the more naturally feminine partnership model. The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future is a 1987 book by Riane Eisler.

5/20/2023 0 Comments Book the mirror and the lightThe blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Ĭromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, no private army. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage. With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with her peerless, Booker Prize-winning novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. "If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?" Portrayed by Mantel with pathos and terrific energy, Cromwell is as complex as he is unforgettable: a politician and a fixer, a husband and a father, a man who both defied and defined his age. Eagerly awaited and eight years in the making, The Mirror & the Light completes Cromwell's journey from self-made man to one of the most feared, influential figures of his time.
