Julie gregory author5/26/2023 Haunted by this, Janine Latus turned her journalistic eye inward. It took nearly two years before her killer, her former boyfriend Ron Ball, was sentenced for her murder.Īmy died in silent fear and pain. It took more than two weeks to find Amy's body, wrapped in a tarpaulin and buried at a building site. Coworkers and neighbors and family members plastered missing posters with Amy's picture across the county. Helicopters went up and search dogs went out. She was on a business trip to the East Coast, savoring her freedom, attending a work conference, when she received a call from her sister Jane asking if she'd heard from Amy. Ten weeks later, Janine Latus had left her marriage. A marriage in which she felt afraid, controlled, inadequate, and trapped. A marriage in which she felt she could do nothing right and everything wrong. That same spring Janine Latus was struggling to leave her marriage - a marriage to a handsome and successful man. If I am missing or dead this obviously has not protected me. Based on his criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved, it read, but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. In April 2002, Janine Latus's youngest sister, Amy, wrote a note and taped it to the inside of her desk drawer.

The witch elm review new york times5/26/2023 The Wych Elm is no exception to that rule. When you pick up a Tana French novel, you know you are in for a deep exploration of character and motive. Then, as if things couldn’t get worse, a skull is discovered in a tree on a family property - and he becomes one of the suspects. But his luck runs out when he is the victim of a brutal assault that leaves him with a damaged brain and PTSD. Her protagonist is Toby Hennessy, a young man of good looks, good luck and a sunny personality. Instead of telling the story from the point of view of police detectives, The Wych Elm tells it from the point of view of one of us: an ordinary person, someone for whom a murder in their circle is a profoundly disorienting and unsettling circumstance. Now she’s out with a new novel, but it isn’t part of that series - or any series, for that matter. When we last interviewed American Irish writer Tana French (about her 2016 novel The Trespasser) we said that she has been called “the most interesting, most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years.” She earned that reputation for her Dublin Murder Squad crime series, of which The Trespasser was one. Then we re-air our 2016 interview with her about her last to date in the Dublin Murder Squad series, The Trespasser. We spend the hour talking with master of crime fiction Tana French, first about her new novel The Wych Elm (given a rave review by Stephen King in the New York Times.)

Mating and captivity5/26/2023 Our results have important implications for conservation and for studies of sexual selection because they show that the behaviours underlying patterns of mating can be profoundly influenced by a history of inbreeding or by any restraining experimental conditions. Here, using a technique involving the transfer of marker dusts during copulation, we show that a small decrease in mating success of captive inbred male butterflies in cages is greatly accentuated in conditions with unconstrained flight. Very few have experimentally explored the effects of inbreeding in the wild 15, or compared observations in the laboratory with field conditions 8, 9. Because pedigrees are hard to follow in the wild, most field studies have used marker loci to establish that fitness declines with increasing homozygosity 1, 13, 14. Such inbreeding can have strongly deleterious effects on life-history traits and survival 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and can be critical to the success of population conservation 2, 4, 12. The decrease in fitness of organisms owing to matings between relatives is well known from captive and laboratory animals. Small isolated populations are frequently genetically less diverse than core populations, resulting in higher homozygosity that can hamper their long-term survival 1, 2, 3, 4.

Betsy-Tacy and Tib by Maud Hart Lovelace5/26/2023 The Betsy-Tacy books are based very closely on Maud’s own life. The final book in the series, Betsy’s Wedding, was published in 1955. So Maud took Betsy through high school and beyond college to the “great world” and marriage. Maud did not intend to write an entire series when Betsy-Tacy, the first book, was published in 1940, but readers asked for more. Maud would tell her daughter bedtime stories about her childhood, and it was these stories that gave her the idea of writing the Betsy-Tacy books. The Lovelaces’ daughter, Merian, was born in 1931. Lovelace, a newspaper reporter who later became a popular writer of short stories. The Hart family left Mankato shortly after Maud’s high school graduation in 1910 and settled in Minneapolis, where Maud attended the University of Minnesota. When Maud was 10, a booklet of her poems was printed by age 18, she had sold her first short story. Like Betsy Ray, Maud followed her mother around the house at age 5 asking questions (such as “How do you spell ‘going down the street’?”) for the stories she had already begun to write. Maud Hart Lovelace was born April 25, 1892, in Mankato, Minnesota.

Carolyn wyeth5/26/2023 Wyeth had been one of the most sought-after illustrators of his day, from the 1910s through the 1940s. Wyeth, best known for his illustrations of “Treasure Island,” has an extensive retrospective exhibit at the Brandywine River Museum. Wyeth considered a painting depicting King Arthur astride his horse, commandeering his knights through an English moor. Never went to the Caribbean where Treasure Island took place. “He did all the knights of King Arthur, but he never left his studio in Chadds Ford,” he said. Wearing pirate breeches and mismatched long socks, Jamie walked the plank floor galleries of the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa., where “N.C. Wyeth’s grandson, Jamie Wyeth, standing in front of a life size photo of his grandfather’s studio on display at the Brandywine River Museum, says he was more influenced by his grandfather than by his famous father, Andrew Wyeth.

MY TWO CENTS: Much to my delight, there were a number of titles released in 2017 that filled me with pride and transported me back to my days as a middle school book worm. Arturo refuses to let his family and community go down without a fight, and as he schemes with Carmen, Arturo discovers the power of poetry and protest through untold family stories and the work of José Martí. He almost doesn’t notice the smarmy land developer who rolls into town and threatens to change it. But this summer also includes Carmen, a poetry enthusiast who moves into Arturo’s apartment complex and turns his stomach into a deep fryer. And maybe a few shifts as junior lunchtime dishwasher at Abuela’s restaurant. Can thirteen-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all or is he in for a BIG, EPIC FAIL? For Arturo, summertime in Miami means playing basketball until dark, sipping mango smoothies, and keeping cool under banyan trees. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK: Save the restaurant. |
