Whats classic books you find underrated?

Oh, another question I love! This one is a little bit harder because most classics books (especially by white English-speaking writers) get their clout and more. But still, there's some books that I wish would get more mainstream hype.

Beloved by Toni Morrison. I know she's extremely popular in the US and that she has a whole-ass Nobel Prize. She's one of the greats! But I still want to hear this book in people's mouths more when we discuss the most exceptional modern classics.

No Exit by Jean-Paul Satre. Really encapsulates everything pertinent about existential thought. Gave us The Good Place. "Hell is other people". Amazing.

A House For Mr. Biswas by VS Naipaul. Appreciated in nicher circles, I guess, but I'd love to see a Trinidadian author (yes, I know he was like, evil, but still) get more flowers on a mainstream level.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. Stop leaving my girlie out of the Brontë conversations, please and thanks!

A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Is this the original dark academia bildungsroman? Donna Tartt what are you doing on the floor?! Anyway, I feel sorry for people who didn't read this as a kid or adolescent.

[dennisnilsenstie]

Favorite tc cases? :)

Hiiii＾-＾.

I am interested in most tc cases but like.

Dennis Nilsen,Jeffrey Dahmer are my mains,(homosexual duo LOL,THEY BOTH ARE SO SO SIMILAR).

Ken and Barbie Killers(Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka),I am into most killer duos tbh,it's always so interesting because how in the hell did they even find each other,especially back in the days,it's more “easier" to find people like that nowadays,but back then it's like woah.

Jodi Arias,Paul John Knowles,Robert Maudsley,Karol Kot(Failure<3).

And these two are more recent,like from a week ago,but I am also into the Westroads Mall shooting and Kerch Polytechnic College massacre.

But I can say that I do “like" most tc cases,but,these ones are just the ones that I am heavily interested in learning about.

(Beat me/not literally,I am genuinely so sorry for answering you late😭,I hope that you are doing well<3).

2023 Bahama Cruise, Part 14. April. 1. Thompson Bay, Grey’s Bight, Long Island.

Dinner party on “Time Out”. Above left to right: Capt. of “Sea Breeze” Dana, Capt. David Houston “Cheval”, Capt. and author, Paul Trammell “Water Rose”.

Jim and Laurie hosted 6 of us on their Lagoon 45 F (F for Flybridge). Big and beautiful, it is perfect for dinner parties. Plus the upper helm has great visibility for docking. “Cheval” provided fresh hogfish, which Jim cooked in a Thai soup. Nancy provided a coconut flan for desert. Rounding out a three course meal.

Jim and Laurie have traveled from the Mediterranean to Grenada and up the Carribean. Now that they are in the Bahamas, they say this is the friendliest group of cruisers they have met. Jim said in the short time they have been here, the cruiser interaction is a thousand times friendlier than in the Carribean.

The Farmers Market opens up Saturday morning early. There are 30 boats in the harbor due to the winds predicted earlier. So it was a scramble in the morning for fresh vegetables. I picked up a large piece of coconut bread for $3 Bahamian. Since they were selling local salt in small zip lock bags. I had to buy one for $2.50 Bahamian. The gentleman standing in the photo, explained how he gets the salt in the summer dry season. They bagged up 20 “fish sacks” full this last summer.

The woman in the top photo was shelling peas. She beats most of the peas out in advance. Here she is doing a final look through. Talks and shells at the same time. As she shells, she gathers up a handful of empty shells in her right hand and allows the field peas to fall to the bottom of the box. Once she gets a handful of empty husk in her hand she drops them in a cardboard box next to her. That is fed to the sheep.

This island was a large sheep herding island. We just missed the annual “mutton festival”.

We went walk about and talked to Marcie (Knowles) Fox in her parents yard about plants. They just recently were tied into the potable water system. Most houses here have a cistern. Nancy found a beautiful Sea Horse made out of sea glass.

We stopped briefly at a natural salt pond. It really reeked. Hope the salt I bought did not come from here! This island must be full of snakes. One Grey Racer was dead on the road the day before. Here we found a dead Bahama Boa. Once we got to the beach, we walked a mile down and back.

When ever my ship starts to go down, forget the EPRIP or calling MAYDAY. I am sticking close to Nancy. If she washes up on a deserted Island, she will find someone to talk to. Hopefully, they will have the means to get us back.

If you look closely at the foot prints above, the left has tread marks. The right footprint is smooth and no tread marks. Nancy talked to John on the beach. No one ever walks this beach, but Nancy found the one guy. He is an ex-pat, and was wearing a pair of “North Island Shoes”. Two different colored and aged crocks. In the North part of Long Island, if you find it washed up on the beach you wear it!

We found some wild Passion Fruit on the side of the trail. Nancy gathered up a handful of fruit. When we stopped back at the Farmers Market, she asked a local woman about them. Nancy was promising to make me some Passion Fruit creme brulee. The woman explained these were not edible and would poison me. Then she promptly threw all of them in the bushes. She saved my life!

A quick trip below ground for Nancy. I thought I had my flashlight, but it was still on the boat. So we could not go very far. There are bats further in the cave. Once back at the boat we pulled anchor. Well, actually Nancy pulled up the 45 lb. anchor while I drove. Then we headed south 4 miles. To a large Blue Hole and a secluded anchorage.

Approximately 500 ft. across at its widest. It is only 38 ft. deep but you can not see the bottom. I took the opportunity to snorkel around the edge. On the north drop off several Mangrove Snapper came up to look at me. Their were several larger Mutton Snapper along the edge. They were very skidish.

We were back at the boat and Nancy was taking her shower on the aft sugar scoop. Jumping in and getting wet. Getting out and lathering up. Jumping in to rinse off. I happened to be on deck taking some clothes out to hang up. Damn, there was a large shark parallel to the boat and moving away. “Nancy, get in the boat!”.

Why?

Don’t ask why, just get in the boat!

Is it a shark?

Yes, there is a large shark swimming by.

No worries, it is not interested in me.

Nancy, this is not a Nurse, Hammerhead or bull shark. It might be a Tiger Shark!

OKAY! OKAY!

Nancy is obviously fearless!

Plan for the morning was: Make water, go to the Blue Hole, go swim with the red shrimp, then walk to a secluded beach we found on Goggle Earth.

Water maker would not pressurize and we spent 2 hours troubleshooting it. Then gave up. Skipped the Blue Hole, and dinghied to the boat ramp. Walked a short distance to the church ruins which is where the trail to the Red Shrimp Cave starts.

This is the ruins of St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church. Only one family of 4 was buried in the yard.

Talking to a native of the island, the graves are facing East. Again, interesting spelling of the name, “Lerlene Moree” 1918- 1958. Notice that either one or two children's graves sit to the side. Times were tough back in the day. In those day midwives delivered the babies on the island. Now when a women is 6 months pregnant she has to leave the island.

Following the well marked trail from behind the church to the cave full of red shrimp. We spent 20 minutes swimming with the shrimp. It appears to be salt water. Hundreds of red shrimp and a crab or two. A few of the shrimp came off of the bottom and swim upside down near the surface.

Nancy reaching towards a red shrimp, while another one is just below her foot.

Red shrimp at bottom of the photo swimming around. They were thick on the bottom.

After the shrimp swim, we tried to get to this secluded beach on the East side of the Island. Unfortunately there was a gate on the road.

When you walk on the road here in Long Island every single car that passes waves and or beeps their horn. Not much traffic, but always happy people.

Out here in the middle of nowhere is a small bar with a pool table, called FOXIES. Sign said “3 beers for $10, Karaoke Saturday night”. No cars the first time we walked by. But Sunday on the way back we watched a guy stop and go in. We stopped in and asked if he was open. He said sure. We ordered 3 Kaliks, and paid the 10 dollars. He gave us the fourth beer free so we would be even on the amount of drinks. Cheapest beers we ever had in the Bahamas. Foxie will be a millionaire shortly. He was off to George Town to open another bar and Vape store. That will be his fourth Vape store in the islands. Bahamas are looking at legislation to legalize marijuana and CBD. He is setting himself up on each island chain to sell the stuff.

Low tide so we stopped and walked the beach on the way back. We had spotted a Tamarind tree but we only able to pick a handful of fruit. Rain storm was creeping towards our boat so we headed back.

S/V Sea Breeze, Grey’s Bight, Long Island, Bahama.

A link to my personal reading of the Scriptures

for the 25th of july 2024 with a paired chapter from each Testament (the First & the New Covenant) of the Bible

[the letter of Titus, chapter 1 • the book of Numbers, chapter 28]

along with Today’s reading from the ancient books of Proverbs and Psalms with Proverbs 25 and Psalm 25 coinciding with the day of the month, accompanied by Psalm 36 for the 36th day of Astronomical Summer, and Psalm 57 for day 207 of the year (with the consummate book of 150 Psalms in its 2nd revolution this year)

A post by John Parsons:

There is a secret and unsettling temptation to regard God as a sort of “Santa Claus” figure who rewards those who have been “nice” but withholds his blessing from the “naughty”... God helps the “good” but punishes the bad. An implication of this assumption is that God blesses the worthy, so if our prayers and petitions seemingly go unanswered, we tend to blame ourselves for being unworthy or unfaithful... We may then try to bargain with God by promising to change and to turn ourselves into better people. “If you will help me, then I will reciprocate by doing good.” We reason that if we do good to others, then God will do good to us. This idea translates the notion that “God helps those who help themselves.” We trust in the “law of karma” as the means for spiritual cause and effect.

Karma or “merit based” theology fails us, however, whenever bad things happen to good people, such as when a young child dies from an incurable illness. In such tragic cases people tend to look “beneath” appearances and posit hidden factors designed to deny or to appease the pain of the moment. Thus certain forms of Hinduism, for example, ascribe the suffering of innocent people to bad actions done in a previous life, while the “holier-than-thou” types (such as Job’s friends) would persist that hidden sin was ultimately the cause for the suffering...

Yeshua said “If you ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14), though it is important that we do not lapse into “magical thinking” when we hear these words. God is not some cosmic “genie in a bottle” that we can conjure up (through our religious rituals, our promises, etc.) to meet our needs but is a loving Heavenly Father who cares for our ultimate good.

“If you ask anything” therefore does not stand as an unqualified promise, and indeed, we often do not get what we want because we are not asking in the Name of Yeshua, that is, according to his vision, direction and will. “This is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15).

But this becomes a point of testing for us. What if we have prayed earnestly for God to do something to help but the help does not come to pass? What if we have prayed with utmost urgency for the healing of a loved one but they die? What if we suffer from painful illness, or get divorced, or lose our jobs -- even though we have prayed to God for the very opposite? This is a serious matter that needs to be considered, for if we assume that God only gives to the worthy and disregards the faithless, then we will be tempted to despair and question whether we “really” believe, after all... Questioning whether you “really” believe leads to nagging questions about whether you “really, really” believe, ad infinitum (see James 1:3-8).

The will of God is to exercise faith in Yeshua as the healer of your life: “This is the work of God (τὸ ἔργον τοῦ θεοῦ), that you believe in the one whom he has sent" (John 6:29). The work of God is the miracle of faith, and true faith surrenders everything in trust to God’s will. “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:9-10). This is the beginning of the “Disciples’ prayer.”

“Faith is the foundation (i.e., ὑπόστασις: the "substance," reality, underlying essence, etc.) of hope, the conviction of the unseen... “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would draw near must believe that he exists and rewards (μισθαποδότης) those who seek him” (Heb. 11:1,5-6). At first glance these verses may seem to support a theology of karma, but it is important to see that the conditions to be known by God are given by God himself in the impartation of the gift of faith (Eph. 2:8-10; Rom. 4:16; John 4:10; Exod. 33:19). The reward here is that of truly knowing God - being “translated” from the realm of death and despair to “walking with God” in realm of the Spirit, as the life of Enoch demonstrated.

Note that God is pleased when we seek his Presence, that is, when we look past the ephemera and ambiguity of the phenomenal world for the truth about spiritual reality (2 Cor. 4:18). For our part, faith resolves to confession (ὁμολογέω), that is, aligning our perspective and focus to agree with the revelation and message of divine truth and verbally declaring our conviction. We must say that we believe, and affirm it with all our heart (see Rom. 10:9). As it says, "I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth" (Psalm 89:1). Even in times of testing, and particularly at such times, we trust God is in control of all that happens to us, both the good and the bad. “The trial of your faith is more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire” (1 Pet. 1:7). As Job confessed: יְהוָה נָתַן וַיהוָה לָקָח יְהִי שֵׁם יְהוָה מְבֹרָךְ - "the LORD has given and the LORD has taken away: may the Name of the LORD be blessed (Job 1:21).

Whenever we encounter tribulation, or experience some crisis of faith, let us reaffirm aloud: "I believe in God’s promise..." Physically expressing our faith is itself an act of faith, and this encourages us to trust in God’s healing reward even in the present struggle or darkness. Amen. “Seek the LORD and His strength; ask for His Presence at all times” (Psalm 105:4).

Corbin Bleu Double-Dutches His Way Back to Jump In 17 Years Later

Corbin Bleu continues to push himself to the limit! On Sunday, May 26, Bleu, 35, proved that he still has a knack for jumping rope 17 years after the release of the Disney Channel Original Movie Jump In! Bleu proudly shared a video of himself playing double-dutch on TikTok as his song “Push It to the Limit” played in the background. He wrote on top of the video, “POV: It’s been 17 years since you Jumped In,” and added in the caption, “Still got it.” While sharing the same clip on Instagram, Bleu revealed that it was filmed between performances of his Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors. “Double Dutch in between shows outside of our theatre! My @littleshopnyc family knows how to bring the community together! Can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve done this ,” Bleu captioned the post. In the beloved 2007 film, the actor played Izzy Daniels, a young boxer who ultimately finds a love for the sport after joining a tournament with Mary Thomas (Keke Palmer). Jump In! director Paul Hoen told Business Insider in a 2022 interview that Bleu and Palmer, 30, were some “of the most talented physical actors.” (L-R) Corbin Bleu, Keke Palmer, Laivan Greene, Shanica Knowles in Jump In!. John Medland/Disney Channel/ Everett The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it?

Bleu recently reflected on another special memory — his 2016 wedding to Sasha Clements. While speaking to PEOPLE earlier this month, the High School Musical  alum recalled having an “epic” ceremony.” Corbin Bleu and Sasha Clements attend the 2024 Chita Rivera Awards on May 20, 2024 in New York City.  Dia Dipasupil/Getty “If I really had to break it down, it’s the moment that I saw her right before she walked down the aisle. That moment is a core memory,” he recalled. Bleu said that watching his wife walk down the aisle in a custom Pnina Tornai gown felt as though “the world shifted.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. “We’ve been together for 13 years now.

The Workshop is the premier > program for integrating the methods, theory, and applications of > molecular phylogenetics, statistical genetics, molecular evolution, > and related disciplines. Students work closely with internationally > recognized scientists, receiving (i) high-level instruction in the > principles of molecular evolution and phylogenetics; (ii) advanced > training in statistical methods best suited to modern datasets and > biological questions concerning species, populations, or infectious > diseases; and (iii) hands-on experience with the latest software tools > (often from the authors of the programs they are using). The material > is delivered via lectures, discussions, and bioinformatic exercises > motivated by contemporary topics in molecular evolution. > > A hallmark of this workshop is the direct interaction between students > and field-leading scientists. The workshop serves graduate students, > postdocs, and established faculty from around the world seeking to > apply the principles of molecular evolution to questions of both basic > and applied biological sciences. A priority of this workshop is to > foster an environment where students can learn from each other as well > from the course faculty. As the course progresses, participants learn > how to use the following software and tools to address questions > concerning the origins, maintenance, and function of molecular > variation: ASTRAL, BEST, FASTA, IQ-TREE, MIGRATE, MAFFT, MP-EST, Open > Tree, RAxML, RevBayes, PAML, PAUP*, SNaQ, and SVD Quartets.
