If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise If you can dream - and not make dreams your master If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same. What do you think? If - by Rudyard Kipling The poem has at various times been called 'jingoistic nonsense' and, on the other hand,'unforgettable' (in a good way). Orwell is said to have called it a 'good bad' poem. T S Eliot apparently said at one stage that the poem was not a great poem, describing it instead as 'great verse'. Weirdly, the British press portrayed Jameson as a hero in the middle of the disaster and the actual defeat as a British victory. The British were defeated and this increased the tensions that ended up leading to the Second Boer War. This was the fellow who, in 1895, led a raid by British forces against the Boers in South Africa. Kipling said in his autobiography that the poem was inspired by Dr Leander Starr Jameson.

She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?Īfter I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game – and searching for a new road to happily ever after. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. A love story about what happens when the love fades, from the bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six. To better understand the absence of gender, Bornstein found the disciplines of postmodern theory, Tibetan Buddhism and quantum mechanics. Being nothing, I looked around for disciplines and modes of thinking that would articulate talking about nothing, this whole idea of nothing.” … It’s more helpful to define myself by what I’m not. … That gave me more freedom to figure out who I am. In those days, I was left with being nothing. On March 31, they gave a talk in Kilworth Chapel titled, “A Queer and Pleasant Danger.”īornstein, who today identifies as nonbinary, has written six books, including “Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us,” “A Queer and Pleasant Danger,” and “Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws.” Bornstein is also a playwright and has appeared in several shows and movies, including “I Am Cait.”īornstein discussed their experience transitioning from living as a man to being a woman, and then to understanding their gender as nonbinary. “Do you have a gender? Where is it? (I’m curious because I’ve been looking for mine for 65 years, and I can not find my gender anywhere!) Is it that you have a gender or is it more that you are a gender? Or perhaps you do a gender? Have you? Are you? Do you?” These are some of the questions that trans author and artist Kate Bornstein asked the campus community to think about. I think weapons should always require a human in the loop, but the problem is that there'll be an arms-race where some countries (you know who) will ignore these principles and build fully autonomous no-human weapons. Set proper goals and train the model properly and it would work perfectly. That's still clever.Īs per usual the problem isn't the tool, it's the tool using the tool. Trying to kill the operator, then when adjusted pivoting to destroying the comms tower the operator used. What's funny though, is that the model proved that it was adept at the task they gave it. The reward function should primarily be based on following the continued instructions of the handler, not taking the first instruction and then following it to the letter. Of course the military is using home-grown fisher price models. Definitely just bad model/test conditions/scoring design. In 2005 Tolkien’s text was fully restored – with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien – with almost 400 corrections, the original red and black maps as fold-out sheets, a fully revised and enlarged index, and for the first time a special plate section containing the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, making this set as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike, with one hundred and fifty million copies of its many editions sold around the world. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Includes special features and the definitive edition of the text. Children’s Comic Strip Fiction & Graphic Novelsįour-volume boxed-set edition of The Lord of the Rings in hardback, featuring Tolkien’s original unused dust-jacket designs, together with fourth hardback volume, The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion. Honestly, these two just confused the hell out of me. Zuri is the book’s narrator and since Darius is a mystery to her, he’s also a mystery to the reader. I just felt that her irritating qualities eclipsed her many good ones. She’s also a brilliant writer, ferociously loyal, and protective of her family. Unfortunately, this was also the biggest weakness of the novel for me – I did not always like being around her. This is very much a YA novel and Zuri is appropriately immature. With his rich ways, he doesn’t fit in her neighborhood, and she fears that people like his family (rich people) will contribute to the kind of gentrification that will destroy everything Zuri loves about her home. Zuri can’t stand her new neighbors, especially Darius Darcy. They live next door to a run-down mansion that is purchased and remodeled by a Black family from Manhattan. In this modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, teenager Zuri Benitez, who is Afro-Latino, lives in Bushwick, New York, with her family. It frustrates me that I didn’t like Pride more than I did, because the concept is awesome.
