Ren believed in that vision enough to give up everything to follow Suh-Mi into the unknown. A planet promising to reveal the truth about our place in the cosmos, untainted by overpopulation, pollution, and war. Renata Ghali believed in Lee Suh-Mi’s vision of a world far beyond Earth, calling to humanity.

![]() ![]() ![]() We then examine some important reasons why Whitehead introduces God into his metaphysics after which we proceed to determine to what extent God is morally all-good. Subsequently, We find that evil for Whitehead is any actual entity that presents a threat of destruction to the harmony of a society of actual entities. ![]() We then proceed to examine how Whitehead‘s view of value evolved to that of value as harmony. Here we find that what is fundamental to his position is that God is the source of esse through which both evil and good become defined. We then proceed to see how a traditional theodicy such as that of Thomas Aquinas deals with the problem of God and evil. We begin by briefly examining Whitehead's early view that traditional theodicies are deficient because they fail to satisfy the intellect. Our aim is to show that because Whitehead‘s view on the all-goodness of God and related matters evolved, Whitehead in his final writings could not have a satisfactory theodicy. A theodicy is an attempt to show with logical rigour that God, the creator of the World, can be considered to be morally all-good despite the evil that is in the World. ![]() ![]() ![]() Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control one that pushes them to a breaking point.

While walking, I talk to various so-called inanimate creatures, like trees, earth, air and the whole environment, which reciprocate to my attention and then I capture those dialogues in a picture frame. One of my favorite times of the day is when I go outside for a walk mostly to green patches or water bodies. It has beautiful photos and also poems / quotations. Fortunately I have an eye for that and I capture them and convert them into words. These responses are unpretentious and one needs to have an eye to see those responses and feel for it. In our day-to-day interaction while treating ailing patients, we see the most of the emotive responses, like love, hate, indifference, pain, sorrow, gratitude, affection, selflessness etc. I am neither a seasoned author nor have literary charisma but I must say that there is no profession other than the medical one, when you are close to the objective reality of all the emotions. How and when do you manage time to write in between your regular busy career? You are not a full-time writer, but a doctor by profession.

Renata witnesses the birth of four chicks as their rosy eggs split open “like coats that are suddenly too small.” Renata finds at a crucial moment that she can help the chicks learn to fly, even with the bittersweet knowledge that it will only hasten their exits from her life.

This location became a popular haunt of the bohemian and LGBT crowd, and a place where gay life was publicly on display rather than covert. Cafeterias offered reasonably priced meals where patrons could linger, which created ideal social gathering places. Stewart’s, a popular cafeteria chain, opened in the first floor of this Art Deco building in 1933. The intersection of West 4th Street and Seventh Avenue, at the new Christopher Street subway stop, became a destination for nightlife.

In the early 20th century, Greenwich Village evolved from a backwater to an amusement district. ![]() ![]() ![]() It should make those who love The Nightmare Before Christmas universe happy, as we finally get a standalone Sally Skellington adventure. I found Long Love the Pumpkin Queen to be a really fast and entertaining read. It’s helpful to re-watch the movie before starting Long Live the Pumpkin Queen but not necessary as author Shea Ernshaw does a good job of setting the scene in spooky Halloween Town. She often thinks about how she doesn’t deserve her new life and she is still quite fearful of Doctor Finklestein in the beginning of the novel. Long Live the Pumpkin Queen is a delightful story with Sally into the main character role despite her imposter syndrome. Sally eventually descends into Dream Town where she has to figure out how to stop The Sandman and save all the people in Halloween Town and beyond. Sally travels to the other Towns and finds the same scene, citizens that have laid down and slept where they were standing. Something sinister has descended onto Halloween Town and it’s up to Sally to figure out the mystery and wake her beloved up from his deep slumber. Sally wakes up to find that Jack and almost everyone else are in a deep sleep. After a short honeymoon to Valentine’s Town, the two return to start their duties as King and Queen. Taking place shortly after the events of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Long Live the Pumpkin Queen whisks readers back to Halloween Town and the wedding of Jack and Sally. Those of us desperate for a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas was very surprised to hear. ![]() Books are provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
