![]() ![]() The reboot is similar to the original in a lot of ways, but also takes a more focused approach. The iconic documentary series has been revised, and unfortunately the trench coat wearing host we associate with the show, Robert Stack, passed away. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because you may have watched in anytime from 1987 – 2010. If you have Netflix, then you should to check out Unsolved Mysteries. There still isn’t a lot to watch on television with everything going on in the world. So join me, The Maritime Master of Macabre, as we discuss all things horror. ![]() ![]() I’ll be talking about horror novels, comics, movies, shows, and just about anything that will send a shiver down your spine. I hope you enjoyed your last visit, and I have a lot more to talk about this week. Once again it is me, Paul Carberry, your crypt keeper. Welcome back to another day in Carberry’s Crypt. ![]()

The numbers seemed ludicrous, especially for the authors with advances in the six figures. The server quickly filled up with shocked and crying-laughter emojis. When the discussion came up one day, people in the group started doing math to figure out how many copies they’d need to sell to earn out. My debut group, 2024-Ever, was no exception. ![]() ![]() Sooner or later, every debut group starts talking about earning out. When the amount you’ve earned in this way equals the advance your publisher paid you, you’ve earned out - and the royalties start being paid directly to you on a regular basis. Every time someone buys a copy of your book, you earn a percentage of the money from that sale in the form of royalties. The “advance” your publisher pays you is an advance on your future royalties. If you’re a traditionally published author or hoping to be one someday, you’ve probably heard of “ earning out.” What does earning out mean, anyway?

Black troops were at Normandy, Iwo Jima, and the Battle of the Bulge, serving in segregated units and performing unheralded but vital support jobs, only to be denied housing and educational opportunities on their return home.

Ruth always knows when he is and can travel through time to avert the growing political crisis. As Jaxom grows up, he has to deal with the difficulty of being both a Lord Holder and a dragonrider, the maturity of Ruth (who, besides being white, is a runt), his own teenage angst and desire to fight Thread on his own, and the rebellious Oldtimers, who attempt to steal a golden egg from Benden Weyr. The White Dragon follows the coming of age story of Jaxom, the young Lord of Ruatha Hold, who had accidentally impressed the unusual white dragon Ruth in Dragonquest and Dragonsong. The first part of the novel was published three years earlier as A Time When, a special publication by the New England Science Fiction Association for its annual convention Boskone in 1975, where McCaffrey was Guest of Honor. ![]() In 1987, the magazine Locus ranked The White Dragon number 23 among the 33 "All-Time Best Fantasy Novels", based on a poll of subscribers. It was first published by Del Rey Books in June 1978. It completes the original Dragonriders trilogy in the Dragonriders of Pern series, seven years after the second book. The White Dragon is a science fantasy novel by American-Irish author Anne McCaffrey. ![]() ![]() Pity that Asimov (with the probable exception of Fantastic Voyage) could never be cinematised correctly. It is, in short, a grave insult to a wonderful author who gave us everything modern SF is working with from robots to the main ideas of the Star Wars, Star Trek (even Star Trek's famous insignia is from Asimovian Empire's starship-and-sun sign), and many other films and novels. I, for one, am ashamed of this whole effort and I hope the video ruts in shelves. The characters in the short story then became characters of a novel -not as good- by Asimov and Robert Silverberg, but nothing in it suggested such terrible imagination at the part of the script-writer. ![]() It's surely an abomination to the works and memory of the great master of Science-Fiction and I am totally appalled by the awfulness, stupidity, shallowness, and total lack of respect to the original script. The film is totally crap, acting is awful, the script's based on the astronomer's stupid daughter's antics and a shabby love-story between her and a priest/guard, and I simply can't believe how Asimov's estate allowed this piece of crap to be filmed. ![]() It's nothing like the story, there's nothing in common other than there are six suns around the planet, there's a scientist, and the night surely falls to madden people who had never experienced a night for 1,000 years. As an Isaac Asimov fan, and sharing the idea that "Nightfall One," his SF story is possibly the best SF story ever written with many others, I had hopes on this film. ![]() ![]() ![]() They now speak of their owners pasts and emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. These objects absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. Remnants of a Separation is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through such objects carried across the border. ![]() This led her to search for the belongings of other migrants to discover the stories hidden in them. ![]() Despite being born into a family affected by the Divide, artist and oral historian Aanchal Malhotra too had thought little about the Partition until she encountered objects that had once belonged to her ancestors in an Undivided India.Ī gaz, a ghara, a maang-tikka, a pocketknife, a peacock-shaped bracelet, and a set of kitchen utensils: these were what accompanied her great-grandparents as they fled their homes, and through them she learnt of their migration and life before the Divide. Generations have grown up outside the shadow of the communal killings and mass displacement that shaped the contemporary history of the subcontinent.

And it was even bigger as a bank than the previous two that failed. In fact, a third bank, First Republic Bank, collapsed. ![]() And after these two banks had failed, Silicon Valley Bank, then a couple of days later Signature Bank, the hope, and I’d say the expectation, was that this crisis might be over. So, Jeanna, another day, another bank failure. Today, I speak with my colleague, Jeanna Smialek, about whether we’re at the end of this banking crisis or the start of a new phase of financial pain. On Monday morning, the federal government took over a third failing bank, this time, First Republic. michael barbaroįrom “The New York Times,” I’m Michael Barbaro.
