Through my businesses, books, and podcasts I’ve mentored thousands of people like you on how to dream up and build profitable businesses they’re proud of. Needless to say, it’s been a pretty wild ride. So they put me on the cover of Forbes and made a Netflix series based on my life. Over the years, I scaled the business to $100,000,000 in revenue and wrote a New York Times Bestselling book about the whole thing and named it #GIRLBOSS. When I was 22, I started a little eBay store selling vintage out of the back of an ‘87 Volvo and named it Nasty Gal. Over the past 14 years, I’ve built big companies and failed hard on the grand public stage. I’m dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, side-hustlers and founders-to-be build their dream businesses.

Croft says, “ But I hate to hear you talking so, like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. Have you never wondered about her other colorful characters like Mary Crawford, Penelope Clay, Charlotte Lucas, et al.-and how they came to be? In Persuasion, Mrs. How could a woman who was poor, never married, and lived with her mother and sister in a cottage on her brother’s estate authentically write about equality? Yet through her veiled wit, honest social commentary, and cleverly constructed prose in a style ahead of her day, Austen’s heroines manage to thwart strict mores-and even the debauchery of Regency England-to reach their fairytale endings. Achieving social, economic, and political equality amongst the sexes isn’t a concept one would imagine in a novel from the 1800’s, especially if the novelist was Jane Austen, whose characters are in pursuit of good matches and whose novels all end in weddings. Jane Austen’s novels evoke romantic imaginings of gallant gentlemen and gently-bred ladies. By Christina Boyd, editor, “Quill Collective” anthology series “I was the pilot and she was the navigator,” Hingson told the Daily News. After all, “When Roselle was working, she’d plow through a thunderstorm without a second thought,” he said.ĭavid Frank was with Hingson at the time of the attack. “We key off each other, we feed off each other, and the very fact she wasn’t nervous at all told me that we had time to try and evacuate in an orderly way.” “Roselle wasn’t giving me any indication she was nervous,” Hingson told KSBY this week. But clearly, we needed to evacuate.”Īlthough the attack was far more frightening than the loudest thunderstorm, Roselle immediately went to work, helping guide Hingson down 78 flights of stairs. “No one had any idea what was going on, because the airplane hit 18 floors above us on the other side of the building. “We heard a muffled explosion - the building sort of shuddered,” Hingson said during an appearance on FOX Business’s “ Cavuto Coast to Coast” this week. She was by his side when a hijacked plane struck the tower 20 years ago today. The Labrador Retriever always accompanied Hingson, who is blind, to his computer sales job in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. “She would get afraid and just start shaking.” “When we moved to New Jersey, she was our early warning system for storms,” her dog dad, Michael Hingson, told the Los Angeles Daily News in 2015. A 3-year-old guide dog named Roselle was terrified by thunder.

The Norm world, where we live, is, well, normal. Who wouldn't want to be able to save themselves from heartbreak or danger in this fashion? West used this thought process when creating PIVOT POINT, which centers around a girl named Addie who lives in the Compound, a secret society of sorts where everyone has Paranormal mind abilities. West surely sat back and wondered what would happen if, instead of clairvoyance, where one can see into the future, there was such a thing as divergence, where, when faced with a choice, one could see both outcomes and choose the right path to follow in life. There's enough mystery and intrigue to keep readers guessing all the way up until the very end, too. West's voice is full of humor, resulting in witty dialogue and an easy-to-read narrative. Kasie West's debut novel, PIVOT POINT, outwardly seems traditional, but is full of innovative ideas. Whenever one is discovered, it's like a breath of fresh air. It's harder and harder to find a unique concept nowadays, because so much has been done. One of Tris’s fears is about Tobias’s expectations for sex (pretty described). It starts out okay, but the end is a little iffy. Language: Damn, hell, piss, ass, and sh*t are used.ĭrinking, drugs, and smoking: Tobias gets drunk. And towards the end, an important character is killed. This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers. Tris is forced to face her worst fears in a mental test. This first book in Veronica Roth's 1 New York Times bestselling Divergent series of books is the novel the inspired the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet. Guys hang Tris over a railing assault her. Peter and Tris fight, and it goes down pretty ugly, but not really described. There are also many fights for initiation. Violence: Initiation of Dauntless includes jumping off trains and one girl is holding on to the edge screaming for help so she doesn’t fall to her death (a little disturbing, not really a concern). I decided to wait a few years before letting my daughter read this book. I didn’t remember anything too bad, I just wanted to make sure. The Divergent books series is composed of three books. I read this book in high school and really liked it! When my 10 year old daughter asked to read, I said I would read it first. Divergent series in order: all the books by Veronica Roth.

Trekkies want to know all the technical details of warp drives and phasers, but are content to accept a universe full of humanoid aliens with various shades of wrinkly foreheads. Odd, then, how rarely we pay the same amount of attention to biology. The most esteemed SF novels are those written by actual scientists and engineers (or those who could fake it well enough, like Heinlein, who had his starship pilots working out interstellar routes with slide rules.) Larry Niven's Ringworld is a classic because while a ring around a star is probably not something that an advanced alien race could actually build (or would want to, if they could), he at least made it appear achievable, with the proverbial "sufficiently advanced technology." (And then he wrote The Ringworld Engineers when his fans corrected his math.) Usually "hard SF" refers to physics and engineering - crunchy orbital mechanics and interplanetary travel with terms like "delta-v," weapons and other technology that at least has some plausible physics behind it. |
