![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Until the advent of the industrial revolution, the Great Lakes- Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Erie- were self contained and held the majority of the world's fresh water. Dan Egan in his Pulitzer finalist The Death and Life of the Great Lakes has exposed how science and history have wrought change on the once cleanest, freshest bodies of water in the world. While zebra mussels are only one issue affecting the future of the Great Lakes today, the species is hardly the only living being or environmental change that could affect the future of the Great Lakes in the century to come. Lake Michigan is part of the Great Lakes, the largest freshwater source in the world, and to me, the water still tastes crystal clear, until this past summer when it did not, and I reluctantly joined her in drinking filtered water. For years my mother has refused to drink tap water claiming that zebra mussels have affected the taste of her water supply. ![]()

The movie has four separate, yet similar, storylines: the first reading of "Howl" in 1955, the courtroom of the 1957 obscenity trial that comes from said reading, an interview between Ginsberg and an unseen interviewer on the era of the beats and the poet's personal writing style and a couple of animated sequences depicting images from the epic poem ("Howl"). I recently saw the film "Howl," which is about Allen Ginsberg's poem of the same name, and I was once again blown away by my lack of knowledge on famous authors whom I really thought I knew - in this case it was Ginsberg. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cloud finds that most of us fall in the latter category and don’t handle endings very well and we need help. While we all face these kinds of endings daily, Dr. When done poorly though, good opportunities are lost, and misery either remains or is repeated. Cloud demonstrates that, when done well, ‘necessary endings’ allow us to stop pain, foster growth, reach personal and business goals, and live better lives. Henry Cloud sees endings differently, though, and he asks a powerful question: How different would our personal and professional lives be if, rather than viewing these endings as failures, we saw them as necessary steps for creating the possibility of something better? In Necessary Endings, Dr. While endings are a natural part of life, we often experience them with a sense of sadness, hesitation, resignation, or regret. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Online gaming and real life collide when a teen discovers the hidden economies and injustices that hide among seemingly innocent pixels.

![]() ![]() In the poet’s vision they leave their ‘wise Guardians’ beneath them and become angels – which is why the last line tells us to ‘cherish pity’ and remember our duty to the poor. As the boys and girls raise their hands and their voices to heaven, the narrator imagines them rising up to heaven too, just as Christ himself did on Ascension Day. Although the children are made to enter the cathedral in regimented order, their angelic innocence overcomes all the constraints put upon them by authority – they even make the ‘red and blue and green’ of their school uniforms look like ‘flowers of London town’. The poem is based on the contrast between the ‘innocent faces’ of the children and the authority of the ‘grey headed beadles’ and the other ‘aged men’ who act as their guardians. The poem ends with a moral: have pity on those less fortunate than yourself, as they include angelic boys and girls like those described here. The children sit and sing, and their voices rise up to heaven far above their aged guardians. The children enter the cathedral in strict order ‘walking two and two’ behind the beadles (wardens). The poem describes the annual Holy Thursday (Ascension Day) service in St Paul’s Cathedral for the poor children of the London charity schools. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, on the cusp of an explosive and wide-reaching insurrection, Aden plunges once again into the brutal life he longed to forget.
