Furthermore, those reporting to have been frequently discriminated against were more likely to report poorer health than those who did not the odds ratios (95% CI) was found to be 2.88 (1.92-4.32) for women and 1.61 (1.08-2.42) for men. Across ethnic groups, respondents with the highest education and household income were healthier than others. Health inequalities varied by age and were more apparent in persons aged in their mid-50s or above. Females typically reported less favourable health conditions than did males. The most unsatisfactory conditions were reported by Sami females living outside the defined Sami area (with greater integration and assimilation) (p<0.05). Sami respondents reported inferior health conditions in comparison to the Norwegian majority population. The present study included 12,265 individuals aged between 36 and 79, whose ethnicity was categorized as Sami (33.1%), Kven (7.8%) and Norwegian majority population (59.1%). SAMINOR is a population-based study of health and living conditions that was conducted in 24 municipalities in northern Norway during 20. Investigate the association between ethnicity, social factors and self-reported health conditions of Sami and non-Sami Norwegian populations.

Virtually everyone involved advised Mountbatten that to partition those provinces was a calamitous mistake that would unleash uncontrollable violence. The viceroy's worst blunder was the impetuous drawing of new border lines through the middle of Punjab and Bengal. Wolpert places the blame for the catastrophe largely on Mountbatten, the flamboyant cousin of the king, who rushed the process of nationhood along at an absurd pace. Stanley Wolpert, a leading authority on Indian history, paints memorable portraits of all the key participants, including Gandhi, Churchill, Attlee, Nehru, and Jinnah, with special focus on British viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten. Ranging from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, Shameful Flight provides a vivid behind-the-scenes look at Britain's decision to divest itself from the crown jewel of its empire. Britain's precipitous and ill-planned disengagement from India in 1947-condemned as a "shameful flight" by Winston Churchill-had a truly catastrophic effect on South Asia, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead in its wake and creating a legacy of chaos, hatred, and war that has lasted over half a century.

Purchase at Amazon | Apple | Google Play | Kobo Published by Loveswept on October 4, 2011 Captain Blood was adapted for the screen in 1935. Of course he escapes, and becomes a savvy pirate! While Captain Blood is fictional, he was inspired by the real-life John Coad, who was involved in and convicted for the Monmouth revolution, transported, and eventually found his way home (I read about him in Condemned by Graham Seal). The sentence however, is not hanging but transportation and Peter finds himself a slave in the West Indies. Peter ends up connected with the Monmouth Rebellion when he attends to some wounded, and is sentenced by the famous Judge Jeffreys of the Bloody Assizes. Many of his books became bestsellers.Ĭaptain Blood, first published in 1922 (which makes it 100 this year), tells the story of fictional Irish physician Peter Blood, who has a career as a soldier and sailor. Quite prolific, he wrote 34 novels, short-story collections, non fiction, as well as several uncollected short stories. Born in Italy in 1875, Sabatini was the writer of swashbuckling and seafaring historical fiction. The book is Captain Blood, the first in a trilogy of the same name by Rafael Sabatini. Today’s pick is a classic which has been on my ebook pile for a fairly long time, well over 5 years I think. In a family with a history of tragedy, a chilling new chapter is about to be written. Soon, a woman is found dead in the pool - a stranger who bears a shocking resemblance to Judith. Terrified of an unnamed threat, she nails her windows shut and locks the door. To stave off a nervous breakdown, Judith moves in with her kid sister. The Swimming Pool (1952) (Chapters: start of 1, last part of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, last part of 10, 14, 15, 16, 24, start of 25, 29, 30, 35) The Frightened Wife Murder and The South Wind (1945) The Scandal (1950) The Burned Chair (1953 ) This list of recommended works by Rinehart includes mainstream and humorous fiction, as well as mystery tales. She is about to encounter a mystery of her own. Decades later, Judith is the queen of New York society, a fast-living beauty whose nerves are beginning to fray, while Lois still lives in the dilapidated old mansion, writing mystery novels to pay the bills. But after the crash of '29, when Lois and Judith's father killed himself to escape his debts, the family turned the summer home into a fulltime retreat from the world. The Birches was one of the grand mansions of the 1920s, with a ballroom, tennis courts, and, of course, a swimming pool. The New York Times best seller from the author known as the American Agatha Christie. The swimming pool by Rinehart, Mary Roberts, 1876-1958. She did, however, concede that some details of her story - including the lack of witnesses in a department store - were “difficult to conceive of.” Carroll, that you were raped,” Tacopina said. “Not ‘supposedly.’ I was raped,” she said. When Tacopina used the word “supposedly” to cast doubt on her claim, she immediately and sternly rebuked him. On Wednesday, the writer took the stand to tell jurors that Donald Trump assaulted her in a department store in 1996.īut, she emphasized, “I don't need an excuse for not screaming.” She had explained in earlier testimony that she was “not a screamer - I'm a fighter.”Ĭarroll, 79, said that if she were lying about the assault, she would’ve told people she had screamed because “more people would have believed me.” “You can’t beat up on me because I didn’t scream,” Carroll forcefully told Tacopina. She says it happened after a chance run-in with Trump at luxury retailer Bergdorf Goodman in spring 1996. The outburst drew a rebuke and a warning from Kaplan, who called it “entirely inappropriate.”Ĭonsistent and unruffled in her second day of testimony, Carroll grew frustrated as Tacopina zeroed in on how she says she behaved during the alleged assault. On Wednesday, Trump launched a counterattack against the trial on social media, telling followers on his Truth Social platform that the case was “a made up SCAM” and alluding to a DNA issue that Judge Lewis A. Suspect in Massacre of 5 Neighbors in Texas Allegedly Beat His Wife Last Year, Prosecutor Says Ignoring ‘rigidly formed strictures’, he interweaves his plot with autobiography, authorial intrusions and mini-essays to enthralling effect. In his introduction, Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Dirda writes of Steinbeck’s refusal to be restrained by genre. Rich in symbolic artistry and sweeping in scale, the narrative explores universal themes of love, identity and free will to reveal the primordial passions that govern us all, emotional patterns that are repeated, revised or reversed as one generation passes to the next. Blending family history and biblical allegory, he draws on the stories of the fall of Adam and Eve and the fatal rivalry of Cain and Abel to recount the intertwined fates of two families living in California’s idyllic Salinas Valley, the Trasks and the Hamiltons, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the close of the First World War. With his masterwork, Steinbeck aimed to tell ‘perhaps the greatest story of all – the story of good and evil, of strength and weakness, of love and hate, of beauty and ugliness’. But war is looming, and tough choices must be made. And yet none are willing to sacrifice love, and so they struggle to find another way and a shred of hope. The stories of the three main characters are tightly intertwined, and each can only survive at the demise of the others. My first thought after finishing A Reaper at the Gates: Not sure how I will go about my day in this world when my heart is still with Laia, Elias, and Helene in theirs. Can Elias fulfill his new duties as Soul Catcher without sacrificing all it means to love and be human? Reaper at the Gates will keep you on the edge of your seat 'til the very end! You will not want to put this book down. As much as Elias loves Laia and wants to protect her, it may not be within his power. Helene, the Blood Shirke, must persevere through the ongoing threats, not only from the Emperor himself, but from the deadly Commandant in order to protect her family and the Empire itself. With enemies lurking at every turn, Laia of Serra must find the strength to prevent the Nightbringer's destruction of her people and the world. Laia, Elias, and Helene all have a path they are meant to follow, and straying from it might lead to grim consequences. Reaper at the Gates is the third book in Sabaa Tahir's dynamic Ember in the Ashes quartet. I actually like this one better than New Engineering, much better, even. So is Travel, PictureBox’s second release from Yuichi Yokoyama. A train is an interstitial space, where you can sit for hours in one spot but you’re not actually anyplace, where you move but stand still, where you see parts of the landscape normally as hidden as what you see when you turn your head around on a Disney World attraction to watch the animatronics reset and redeploy for others. Perhaps it’s just these positive associations that feed my affinity for the rails, but thinking about it, I get something out of the journey beyond the destination. I love traveling by train, which is good because I’ve done a lot of it over the years: commuting to work from Long Island to Manhattan, traveling up to college in New Haven or down to visit my then-girlfriend in Delaware. One hilarious example occurs when the lead actress looks through a telescope at the wildlife and notes how they are all in a hurry. It doesn't always match or even come close in the continuity of details department or even in film granularity. I can't figure it out so it is best not to try. Oh, and the white women's tribe is mysterious in its nature even though the origin is very well known and no-one ever decided to go rescue the survivors of the shipwreck. Oh, but this is about a strange white women's tribe living the jungle so they must be Amazons. The first thing you will note that the movie takes place mostly in Africa even though the Amazon is in South America. I enjoyed it despite the amazing plot holes. What made for excitement in 1947 is merely amusing, boring, or fascinating depending on your attitude towards films and movies. |
