The story was later renamed 'The Unparalleled Adventure of one Hans Pfaall'. 'Hans Phaall - A Tale' was first published in 1835, when Edgar Allan Poe was twenty-five years old and virtually unknown. The messenger arrives in Rotterdam and causes great excitement and confusion among the level-headed burghers. In that letter Hans Phaall offers information about the moon and its inhabitants in exchange for forgiveness for his crime. Hans Phaall pines for a return to his planet and sends one of the moon-dwellers to Rotterdam with a letter for burgomaster Superbus Von Underduk. When the bellows-mender finally lands on the moon he finds a city inhabited by ugly little people. The perilous balloon flight lasts nineteen days and is reported in great detail. As soon as the contraption is ready to take off, Hans Phaall gives his creditors the slip and kills them in an explosion. On the night of 1st April he tricks his creditors into helping him to inflate the balloon. He constructs a balloon that will carry him all the way to the moon. Hans Phaall, a bankrupt bellows-mender from Rotterdam, thinks up an ingenious scheme to get rid of his creditors and to escape from his dreary existence. If the two operands are of the same type and have the same value, then produces true and produces false. The good ones work the way you would expect. The prototype property is available if people want to inherit. In JavaScript, the Good Parts, Douglas Crockford wrote: JavaScript has two sets of equality operators: and, and their evil twins and. Good called DeSantis 'Americas Governor' when hosting him for breakfast at the Virginian Hotel in Downtown Lynchburg. When they want one, they call Xyz.create(), and get back a new, initialized object of my type. In a statement on Tuesday, Good said in part. the create() function is for users of my type. I return an object with a create() function, and a prototype property. This means I have a private space to work without making a mess in the global namespace. You can find his object creation function here: if (typeof Object.create != 'function') )(). However, JS is as it is so go and use "new". He (IMHO rightly) says that the way it turned out JS is conflicted, prototype based but with this one thing from "classical class" inheritance languages. I understand this particular statement to be more on an "academic" level, what SHOULD have been HAD the language been designed "right" and not with some leftovers of the class-based inheritance stuff. However, the YUI(3) team itself uses "new", and they DO follow his recommendations (since he's the Yahoo chief JS architect (UPDATE: he moved on, but the statement was true when this response was originally written).

They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mould him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.īut chemical company owner, Carl Trudeau, decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. They have been accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company. A powerful and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, from the master of the legal thriller, John Grisham. It didn’t get its internet debut until 2007, though. Salomon leaked the now-infamous 1 Night in Paris in 2003 - the same year, Kardashian, unbeknownst to the world at the time, was making a home porno of her own with then-boyfriend Ray J. In 2001, Hilton and then-boyfriend, Rick Salomon, made their own skin flick behind closed doors. Hilton trumps Kardashian on both fronts here: the making of and the leaking of. Hilton definitely hooked up with a millionaire, though, when she coupled with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter in 2003… not to mention Greek shipping heir, Paris Latsis, in 2005. Date a millionaireĮven though a then-19-year-old Kardashian eloped with music producer, Damon Thomas, back in 2000, it’s hard to say with any certainty if Thomas had the kind of assets required of a millionaire (that came later, in 2007, with NFL star, Reggie Bush). We take a look at the celebutantes to see who was the bigger influence with a little round of “who did it first?” 1. It is a form of hyperreality or false consciousness, wherein the subjects of capitalist realism regard capitalism as an integral part of reality itself rather than as a contingent and impermanent system whose development is comparatively recent in human history. It has been used by theorists such as Mark Fisher and Slavoj Žižek to describe society's modern order, where capitalism is assumed to be the most natural, humane, sustainable, etc., socioeconomic system developed thus far, and movements to replace this system have been intentionally marginalized or otherwise failed to adapt their critiques and platforms. Capitalist realism is a term referring to capitalism's status as the default socioeconomic system for which viable alternatives do not exist and, more importantly, cannot be imagined. Thicker than the first volume, we dive ever deeper into her and her world and get to the root of the Matter of Binti and what her story in these volumes is shaping up to be. Binti’s Himba’s status and her relationship to the Khoush are absolutely essential to understanding the plot, as Binti’s travels are interrupted by a sudden and shocking alien attack, aliens with good reason to hate the Khoush.īinti: Home tells of the return to her home and people, facing the music of having made her unwelcome choice to go to the University. We get some detail on her Himba people origin, how she sits within that culture, and how that culture interacts with its more powerful neigbor, the spacefaring Khoush. Binti’s story is told in Okorafor’s Binti, Binti: Home and the finale of the trilogy, Binti: Masquerade.īinti, the first novella, tells of Binti’s journey to Oomza University, and the cataclysmic encounter she has on the way there, an encounter that changes her forever, and her choices ultimately drive the second two volumes. Binti’s like that, though, breaking norms and boundaries as she finds her way to the University, back home, and what happens thereafter. Binti’s desire to go the finest University in the galaxy breaks all sorts of norms. Binti is a prodigy among her people, the Himba, in a mid-future world constructed by author Nnedi Okorafor. You can listen to Simon’s Any Way the Wind Blows playlist here. You can listen to all my book playlists on my Spotify profile. And my first annotated playlists were for Eleanor & Park. I annotated my Wayward Son playlist here. My apologies to the songwriters, who would probably be dismayed by my interpretations. First of all, I usually can’t figure out what they mean! And secondly, I’m very much using these songs to support my own emotional state and help me through the story I’m writing. I never worry too much about what the lyrics actually mean when I choose a song. If you haven’t read Any Way the Wind Blows, DO NOT READ ANY FARTHER. Simon’s playlist is the longest this time - 27 songs! (I guess I had a lot of Simon feelings…) This is just half of his playlist, and it aligns with the first half of the book. I’m not sure I’m going to annotate every AWTWB playlist, but I wanted to share what I was thinking for Baz and Simon. I have more playlists for Any Way the Wind Blows than for any other book - maybe because it’s my longest book, with three different adventures happening at the same time and three different love stories unfolding. I always build playlists for the characters as I’m writing, and I use specific songs to help me stay in the right frame of mind or perspective. Music is a really important part of my writing process. |
