![]() ![]() “Book of Ages” is much more than a biography it is a story about how the 18th century world differed for different genders. Yet, we can tell she had a fiery wit, no small amount of courage, and that, but for the discriminatory strictures of her time, she might have been as great as her brother. We know practically nothing about Jane, and therefore cannot remark much about her. Lepore, who has won awards both scholarly and popular - including being a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award - would be the first to point out that Jane is only unremarkable in the narrowest sense. It is not the life of Benjamin Franklin, but rather that of his unremarkable sister Jane that is detailed in “Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin,” by Harvard historian Jill Lepore. And she lived in an era in which women were kept low to make way for enlightened men. ![]() The house had belonged to Jane Franklin Mecom, the youngest sister of Benjamin Franklin. In 1939, the city of Boston tore down a small house that was obstructing the view of a monument of Paul Revere. ![]()

![]() ![]() Interestingly, even when Rimuru becomes able to take on a human form te chooses to remain genderless. ![]() ![]() You'll note that 'te' and 'ter' pronouns, and that's because, as a slime, Rimuru is genderless (although with the memories and general feelings of a late-thirties het Japanese man). The story for quite a period turns into what I've heard described as an attempt at a cultural victory in the game Civilization as Rimuru spends ter time establishing and improving a village for ter new goblin friends and allies. Rimuru then turns convention on its head by running around befriending and allying almost everyone te meets, including goblins, dire wolves, dwarves, ogres and lizard people. ![]() As the title immediately shows, te is also a slime (a standard normally low-level fantasy monster). 'Slime' goes all in on this concept only in so far as 'Rimuru' is spectacularly power in the world te is reborn into. This is an 'isekai' (other world) manga/anime (tremendously popular at the moment), and it follows one of the standard conventions of the sub-genre - 'regular' person goes to/is trapped in/is reborn in another world, where he (almost always he) is spectacularly powerful. Eight volumes are available in translation, and there's also an anime series (which is where I started). ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2017, a Massachusetts museum dedicated to the author replaced a mural featuring illustrations from one of the now discontinued titles, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.” The move to discontinue these books is not the first course correction made in relation to complaints of racial insensitivity in Seuss’ works. Seuss' 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' Animated Feature at Warner Bros. Criticisms of some of his work have mounted over the years, specifically taking issue with the ways Black and Asian characters were illustrated in the children’s books.Īlso Read: JJ Abrams to Produce Dr. Enterprises, the decision was made a year ago, after the company began “working with a panel of experts, including educators” to reassess the entire catalog of work by Seuss (né Theodore Geisel). The six books - “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!” “Scrambled Eggs Super!” and “The Cat’s Quizzer” - will no longer be republished or licensed for further use.Īccording to Dr. “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” the company said in a statement issued on what would have been the author’s 117th birthday as well as as National Read Across America Day. Seuss Enterprises, the company in charge of preserving the beloved children’s author’s legacy, on Tuesday announced that six Seuss books will be permanently discontinued due to material deemed racist or insensitive. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How should I deal with the experience this second time? Should I consider it a second encounter worth another 200 XP? At this point, the PCs killed one of the goblins and the other three goblins fled. ![]() The goblins noticed one of the PCs was cheating, so the goblins started fighting again. ![]() So how much XP do they get from the de-escalation? All 200 XP? A small wrinkleĪfter the de-escalation, some time passed and the PCs started gambling with the goblins. How should I have awarded experience points for that encounter? Originally, the encounter had 4 goblins, each worth 50 XP, totaling 200 XP. They then succeeded in de-escalating the situation: they convinced the goblins not to kill them and to actually help them out instead. After exchanging a couple of blows, the PCs noticed they were getting their asses kicked. Let me be more specific: there was an encounter with 4 goblins. But I can't seem to find a straight answer about how to award experience in these cases. The PCs seem to have a trend of encountering a group of enemies, start fighting and then, mid combat, try to either intimidate the enemies and get them to flee or just to persuade their enemies to help them out.Īs the DM, I play along: some times the tactic works, other times it doesn't. This is my first time DM'ing and I'm playing DnD 5e's "Lost Mine of Phandelver" campaign with 3 other players. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Their belief in freedom of religion became an American ideal that still lives on today. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough group of Pilgrims did survive. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half the settlers had died.

While self-driving cars would be nice, PALS like 40-year-old Jeremy Schreiber understand that advancement in mobility technology is just one bullet point on a long list of needs. For people with ALS, also known as PALS, a future with self-driving cars is a world with one less limitation than there is today. For tech junkies and suburban commuters, a future with self-driving cars is a fun but fleeting thought on long trips and at stoplights. ![]() ![]() ![]() I never touched Sweet Valley High or The Babysitter's Club but I devoured anything by Anne McCaffery, Ursula LeGuin, Orson Scott Card, or Ray Bradbury. As a girl I would get lost in the library for hours and the sections I gravitated to were not your usual girly reading. I grew up loving Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars-basically anything that had a sci-fi or fantasy element. Why scifi? What appeals to you most about this genre? Anything forbidden is interesting and appealing which is what leads me to write gay erotica as well as the more traditional male/female stuff. So I grew up with an insatiable curiosity about naughty things and I think that's why all my writing leans that way. My parents never tried to make sex a big dirty secret but it was pretty clear that you got married and then kept it in the bedroom. ![]() I think it would surprise people to know that my parents were ministers and I grew up in a strict religious household.
