Instead, she uses her platform to address sexism and the competitiveness of the K-pop industry. Shine is not, as one might expect and possibly fear, a self-serving look at Jung’s rise to fame with a fuzzy love story gone wrong. She’s hardly the first celebrity to delve into the teen corner of the literary world-Hillary Duff and Zoella tread this path some years back-but Jung hails from an entirely different cultural milieu. Jung’s Twitter and Instagram followings of almost 15 million and 10 million each certainly gives her the fan base. And now she has a debut young adult novel, Shine. Her branding is reaching into film and television. Korean American K-pop star Jessica Jung may have gotten her start as a singer and performer with the hit band Girls’ Generation, but now also has a fashion line and has modeled for make-up lines and magazine covers around the world.

Resolutions to circumvent the district render it a locale where one would be quickly drawn to indulge in the depravities that are overriding there. The District was an El Dorado of such moral deserters.” “ The established inhabitants” comprise those in an advanced social rank who would endure without the district. Written by Mary Tabiti and other people who wish to remain anonymousīy all accounts, “ The Street of Crocodiles” is not appealing for it is characteristically dubious: “ The old established inhabitants of the city kept away from that areas where the scum, the lowest orders had settled-creatures without character, without background, moral dregs, the inferior species of human being which is born in such ephemeral communities…The best among them were not entirely free from the temptation of voluntary degradation, of breaking down the barriers of hierarchy, of immersion in that shallow mud of companionship, of easy intimacy, of dirty intermingling.

In Whose Water Is It, Anyway?, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Montreal are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right that municipal and community water will be held in public hands and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. “This book is a blueprint for communities around the world to take back that responsibility and maintain water as a human right.” - David SuzukiĪ call to action from former Senior Advisor on Water to the U.N., honorary chairperson of the Council of Canadians, chair of Washing-based Food and Water Watch, and councillor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council “Maude Barlow is one of our planet’s greatest water defenders.” - Naomi Klein, bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine And I certainly didn’t have princes lining up to marry me! So, I couldn’t possibly be a princess. I didn’t go to a fancy school or have maids waiting on me. I didn’t have nice dresses or jewels or a big house. I didn’t have blonde hair or blue eyes or a fair complexion. You see, I didn’t look like a princess, not the princesses I was introduced to. But I think the reason why I never wanted to pretend to be a princess was because that was a fantasy that was truly a fantasy, or at least I thought it to be. For starters, there was a serious lack of interesting things for princesses to do in their stories at the time (not your fault, but you understand sitting in a tower when there were dragons to encounter held no interest for me). I didn’t like to daydream of being a princess too loudly or too seriously. And sometimes, deep down inside of me, I dreamed of being a princess. I daydreamed I was a brave knight battling dragons, a wizard casting magic spells, a witch cooking up daring schemes, a Queen ruling her nation. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next one and the next and the next. I read many books of fantasy and fairy tales, and I loved them all. When I was just a little girl, I discovered fantasy fiction. Dear Her Serene and Royal Highness Princess Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne, the Ordinary Princess, Some of Woolf’s first articles were published in The Guardian.ġ2. Woolf once said that her death would be the “one experience I shall never describe.”ġ1. Woolf was highly critical of her friends’ eating habits at the dinner table, often reproving them for eating with either too little grace or too much enthusiasm.ġ0. Woolf once discovered a diary she had written during one particular sane and lucid period in her life, and laughed upon rereading it.ĩ. As a child, Woolf was a formidable bowler.Ĩ. Woolf’s dog, Hans, was known for interrupting parties by getting sick and relieving itself on the hearthrug.ħ. After that, no one was allowed to see her manuscripts until they were finished.Ħ. While writing her first novel, The Voyage Out, Woolf asked friends and relatives for advice whenever she got stuck or had doubts. The window she jumped from, however, was not high enough to cause serious harm.ĥ. Woolf first tried to kill herself at the age of 22 by jumping out of a window. This awoke concerns that her acting career would be "over before it started."Įventually, Chopra Jonas, who was admittedly hesitant toward going under the knife again, had corrective surgery at the advisement of her father, who was also a doctor. The surgery gone wrong began a "dark phase" for Chopra Jonas, who told Stern she was let go from three movies following the procedure. When it was time to remove the bandages and the condition of my nose was revealed, Mom and I were horrified. Unfortunately, as she detailed in her 2021 memoir, according to People, "While shaving off the polyp, the doctor also accidentally shaved the bridge of my nose and the bridge collapsed. "This thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression," she said of what was to be a routine removal of a polyp from her nasal cavity.

A belief in this optimistic mental approach to life is what motivated the ‘mind-cure’ movement influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and others in the United States. He terms such individuals as ‘once-born’. Some people are born with an inherent optimistic outlook on life and do not generally consider the evils of the world. This should not be taken to mean through hedonistic living, but through attaining an inner happiness. A religious experience, then, may be produced by the experience of sustained happiness. James argues in his fourth and fifth lectures that finding and maintaining happiness is the purpose of life. Chapter 3 establishes that people seem to have the capacity to experience the unseen and also a propensity to perceive it as being more real than things seen, heard, touched or tasted. In fact, it is out of the intense experiences of a small few that most religious movements (or ‘sects’ as he terms them) have developed. Moreover, as he explains in his second lecture, the focus must be on personal religious experience rather than corporate, because it is more fundamental. Instead, he chooses to focus the study on ‘religious geniuses’. He explains that it would be of little benefit to base the research on common individuals who have confined religious experiences and imitate traditions which have been passed on to them. In his opening lecture, James describes the methodology of his study.
