Report on a National Bank, December 13, 1790 It is important to remember that despite their differences, both men contributed greatly to Washington’s first cabinet and played a major role in directing the course of the young republic under the new Constitution. As secretary of state, Jefferson was tasked with giving firm direction to American foreign policy, though Hamilton frequently interjected his own views into foreign policy debates, a fact that did not endear him to Jefferson. Washington looked to Hamilton’s economic initiatives for the funding of the national debt, the assumption of states’ debts, an excise tax, and the chartering of a national bank as the best course of action for the young nation’s financial and trade future. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson frequently disagreed about matters relating to national policy. Use after The National Bank Debate Lesson, the Alexander Hamilton and the National Bank Narrative, and the “Strict” or “Loose”: Was the National Bank Constitutional? Point-Counterpoint to introduce students to how the National Bank debate sparked further disagreements, eventually leading to the formation of political parties. Students should understand the national bank debate.

And although he is an important part of the system, he is questioning it all the time. First of all, it offers a main character that behaves as a real person: he doubts, he feels scared, he shows his weakness. There are many reasons why Agustina Bazterrica’s novel is a must-read. But somebody gives Marcos a woman of excellent quality to eat and after that, everything changes. He also has an ill and old father, who used to be the owner of the meat processing plant before the arrival of the virus. He got divorced some years before and his only child has died. Marcos Tejo, whose perspective is related by the narrator of the book, is a sad and tired man. But there are differences between them: the ones that are eaten cannot talk, because their vocal cords have been cut. If they cannot talk, they are considered not to be human. Animals don’t exist and the humans are divided into two groups: the ones that are eaten and the ones that kill and eat them. Pets have also disappeared in this dystopian world, located in the near future. After a big virus renders other animals inedible, humans need to find a solution to feed themselves, and eating other humans, a strange and special method of cannibalism, is the one they choose. The dead bodies are not from animals they are from humans. Marcos Tejo, the main character, runs a meat processing plant, but it is not a common one. Tender is the Flesh, written by Argentinian author Agustina Bazterrica (original title Cadáver exquisito), is not a pretty book: it’s a hard one to read. Whites at the boundaries of white normativity-such as poor whites-are unable to fully lay claim to what David Roediger, after W.E.B Du Bois, calls the "wages" of whiteness, the tacit "status and privileges" of their racial identity. They regard themselves as a neutral or standard, without race or ethnicity, or as a member of the 'human race.'" "Moreover," Moya and Markus continue, "when experimental social psychologists ask people to describe themselves on open-ended questionnaires, white people tend not to mention the racial or ethnic aspects of their identity." 1 White racial identity, or "whiteness," is not always so invisible to white people, however. Moya and Hazel Rose Markus write in Doing Race: 21 Essays for the 21 st Century (2010), "Many whites are quite comfortable with the idea that race (especially) and ethnicity are things that Asians, Latina/os, and blacks have to contend with, but that white people do not. Most white Americans tend not to distinguish race as an important or even identifiable part of their identity. But what makes No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin one of the books that you should read is that it is historically comprehensive while entertaining.īecause of two of those points (namely, you know the plot already and the book is so comprehensive), I’ll cover more the "feel" of the book, and also pick out some interesting points along the way. You’ve probably heard the story before: In the early 1940's, the German’s invade almost everyone, the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, America gets into what is by then World War II, and guided by Franklin Roosevelt, America helps win the war, although not before FDR dies. Review Copyright © 1998 Garret Wilson - July 2, 1998, 5:30pm ☰ Review: No Ordinary Time Title No Ordinary Time Author Doris Kearns Goodwin Publisher Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York, NY 1994 ISBN 8-4 In 2021, Fung co-authored The Diabetes Code Cookbook with Alison Maclean. His book The Obesity Code Cookbook was published in 2019. The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code were subsequently published in 20.

He is the director of the nonprofit organization Public Health Collaboration. Fung disputes the current saturated fat guidelines.įung graduated with his medical degree from the University of Toronto, and completed his residency and fellowship in nephrology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Jason Fung (born in 1973) is a Canadian nephrologist and functional medicine advocate who promotes a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet and intermittent fasting. One of the things I love about Sarah Dessen’s books is that, while they can be predictable, I always find characters with whom I can identify. Through their friendship Annabel finds her voice and begins to use it. Sitting alone at lunch, Annabel meets Owen, a tall, music-obsessed, “bad-boy” who teaches her about what it means to be honest. She starts her junior year alone and friendless. After her best friend dumps her, Annabel spends her summer in a self-imposed social exile. Whitney has an eating disorder which she doesn’t want to acknowledge, Kirsten is the oldest and doesn’t want to model anymore, and then there’s Annabel. Sarah Dessen's Just Listen takes a look inside the glass house. Under the surface though, it’s an entirely different story. All three are models, and Annabel starred in a commercial as the high school girl who has everything. From the outside, sisters Annabel, Whitney and Kirsten Greene look perfect. Not all is as it seems in the Greene’s modern glass home. She is the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants and Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses. Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these ways of knowing together. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, and other indigenous cultures, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. Braiding Sweetgrass poetically weaves her two worldviews: ecological consciousness requires our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world.Īs a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning to use the tools of science.

OctoSlumps and Tailspins By ALICE HOFFMAN He claimed he was a member of the African National Congress (ANC) and had been imprisoned for resisting apartheid, though these claims were later revealed to be untrue. He had left South Africa shortly after being declared an "impaired" doctor by the South African Health Professions Council due to a pethidine addiction. He married his third wife Annette in 1981 and migrated to New Zealand with her and their children in 1997. His first wife was also convicted of helping their son cover up his crime. His son from a previous marriage was also convicted of an unrelated murder in 2003. His crime was dramatised in the TV movie Bloodlines, with Bouwer being portrayed by Mark Mitchinson. He spent 16 years in prison for the murder of his third wife Annette. Colin Bouwer (1950-2018) was a South African-born New Zealand former doctor who rose to become Head of Psychiatry at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. |
