But the fruits of the Saudis’ research and development in this sector will inform technological progress in other nations as well.“Maybe the net-zero carbon equation might not be reached,” Taylor says. But at the same time, Taylor saw a nation striving to become a global leader in renewable energy technologies.Some of that investment is intended to offset emissions associated with continued oil production. The kingdom isn’t giving up its hold of the global oil market – far from it. “It was just kind of hard to believe.”Some of what he found confirmed his skepticism. Today’s lead story almost didn’t happen.When Taylor Luck, the Monitor’s Middle East reporter, heard that Saudi Arabia was attempting to “go green,” he was intrigued – but dubious.As the world’s second-largest producer of oil, Saudi Arabia is “often seen as the spoiler to progress on climate,” he says.

Meanwhile Rosie’s frustration at feeling ignored and trapped is palpable. In the military, Dominic’s view of the world expanded, but he also learned not to complain or demonstrate weakness and he extends this to not showing vulnerability to his wife. He was raised by a quiet man who demonstrated that the way to show love for one’s family is to provide, so Dominic focuses on providing at the cost of communicating with Rosie or spending meaningful time with her. Dominic is a type of character I don’t often read about in a romantic context, one who struggles with toxic masculinity but also has positive traits and wants to do right by his wife. Armie, the therapist, is both funny and perceptive. This book succeeds because of the warmth and empathy it extends to its characters. Frustrated by Dominic’s failure to communicate anything to her other than lust (every Tuesday night), Rosie moves out, but Dominic will do anything to win her back, even attend marriage counseling with a hippie therapist. Rosie works at a department store and dreams of opening her own restaurant. Dominic finished a military deployment overseas and is working in construction. Dominic and Rosie started dating in middle school and are now married adults. Love Her or Lose Her is a contemporary romance between a married couple on the verge of divorce.

Tita Rosie is thrilled with the return of her prodigal son, but Lila knows that wherever Ronnie goes, trouble follows.

It’s Christmastime in Shady Palms, but things are far from jolly for Lila Macapagal. In this installment, Lila's wayward cousin, Ronnie, returns home under a cloud of suspicion. When her long-lost cousin comes back to town just in time for the holidays, Lila Macapagal knows that big trouble can’t be far behind in this new mystery by Mia P. Blackmail and Bibingka is the third book in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mysteries, a cozy series set in the Midwest about a Filipino family. She meets other peoples, whose ways are different from those she knows. It calls us to remember that women had, and still have, a wise and powerful place in the world." -from a review on the blog, The Rainbow Reader, by Baxter Clare Trautman, author of The River Within "In this book we see Tamras’ world open from the House of Merin and its immediate environs into the lands beyond its borders. It whispers of what we remember when we sleep at night and dream. Within that, she also tells how it feels to not belong. All that I had hoped for, reading the first book, begins to bloom.…" -from a review by Kate Genet on the website, Kissed By Venus "Catherine Wilson creates a magical sense of place, and of belonging to that place. Intrigue and conflict are fleshed out and take some surprising twists. The language is still almost musical and wraps its sweet spell around you.… Storylines that were just starting to grow in the first book are also very well developed here. A Journey of the Heart shows the same strong storytelling ability of the first book. 7/6/2023 0 Comments Space troopers bookSavannah, it turns out, is catatonic, and before the suicide attempt had completely assumed the identity of a dead friend-the implication being that she couldn't stand being a Wingo anymore. When he hears that his fierce, beautiful twin sister Savannah, a well-known New York poet, has once again attempted suicide, he escapes his present emasculation by flying north to meet Savannah's comely psychiatrist, Susan Lowenstein. Tom Wingo is an unemployed South Carolinian football coach whose internist wife is having an affair with a pompous cardiac man. A flabby, fervid melodrama of a high-strung Southern family from Conroy ( The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline), whose penchant for overwriting once again obscures a genuine talent. Nathaniel is 22 (chapter 03), his birthday is in spring ( The Harlequin, chapter 02), and he was 21 in Blood Noir.Bullet, chapter 32: Jake says, "It may not be fixed by autumn, Anita." Anita replies, "Jake, if people keep trying to kill us for another two, three months solid, the problem will be fixed, because eventually one of us will be dead." This suggests autumn is two to three months away, placing the events of Bullet around June or July.Mephistopheles might have a "pale summer tan" (chapter 41). Richard has "summer-tanned arms" (chapter 07) and "summer-tanned skin" (chapter 08) and is "summer brown" (chapter 41). Various references to summer tans suggests the novel takes place in summer.The events of Blood Noir are referred to as having happened "this past summer", and Skin Trade, which came after Blood Noir, is said to have been almost a year ago, although this is not necessarily a contradiction if the events of Bullet are set in spring. Narcissus In Chains happened over two years ago. Matthew, who was born after the events of The Killing Dance, is now three. The book is set five years after Guilty Pleasures. The following novel, Hit List takes place in August and is a month following Bullet, placing the events of Bullet in July. There is no specific time marker in Bullet, but the novel seems to be set in late spring or early summer in the year following Skin Trade. 7/5/2023 0 Comments Adam rutherford control“It was explicitly White supremacist.” Like so many before and after him, Galton’s idea of improving humanity meant removing people who were different from him. “Galton’s racism was deep, consistent and robust, even for his era,” Rutherford writes. It was an intention shared by many, but Galton’s name was formally removed from UCL premises in 2020 because of the role he’d played. He gave a name – from the Greek, roughly meaning “well born” – to a discipline that aimed to improve humanity at the population level. Francis Galton was the father of modern eugenics. He begins with a potentially controversial admission: “All science is political.” His own undergraduate study took place at the Galton Laboratory at University College London, an institution with a unique perspective on how scientific endeavour can be sullied by political ideology. As a geneticist and author of books such as How to Argue with a Racist, Rutherford aims to distil a rounded, scientific analysis from the deeply tainted and overheated subject of eugenics. “For just over a century, we have referred to the deliberate crafting of society specifically by biological design with a word which was for half of its existence regarded as desirable, and for the other half, poisonous,” he writes. It takes patience to trace the complicated web linking these ideas, and Rutherford does so with much-needed nuance and an absence of alarmism. Suffering only a few scratches, he goes over to his girlfriend's house, a photographer named Jennifer Moreau, who sleeps with him and promptly dumps him. In London, he suffers a minor accident after a car grazes him at the iconic Abbey Road crosswalk. Saul Adler, a young, beautiful historian, is preparing a research trip to East Germany.
