According to a just-released Pew survey, 48% of adults sometimes or often get their news from social media. The reason this plan is so disturbing is because Facebook is one of the primary places Americans get their news. But a spokesman also seemed to suggest it was making a change, telling the Times, “people deserve to know the steps we’re taking to address the different issues facing our company – and we’re going to share those steps widely.” The company told the Times it hadn’t changed its approach. The Times reports the initiative was personally approved in August by chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. The plan is downright alarming and underscores the importance of seeking out news outside of social platforms.Īccording to the Times, Facebook plans to show users more articles that make it look good – including some written by its own employees. If certain favorable stories are given priority, that by definition leaves less space for more objective reporting to be shared in news feeds, since users can only read a finite number of stories each time they log on. The company now plans to show users more positive articles about itself in news feeds, using what is known as Project Amplify, according to The New York Times, citing as sources three people with knowledge of the effort. But you should also be worried that Facebook has developed a way to lessen the chance that you’ll hear about such criticisms of the platform in the future.

Among the most affecting supporting characters are Bryce's grandfather, who helps Juli spruce up her family's eyesore of a yard after Bryce makes an unkind remark about the property, and Juli's father, a deep-feeling artist who tries to explain to his daughter how a painting becomes more than the sum of its parts. Within the framework of their complex, intermittently antagonistic and affectionate rapport, the author shapes insightful portraits of their dissimilar families. When Juli moved in across the street from Bryce, just before second grade, he found the feisty, friendly girl overwhelming and off-putting, and tried to distance himself from her-but then eighth grade rolls around. Two distinct, thoroughly likable voices emerge in Van Draanen's (the Sammy Keyes series) enticing story, relayed alternately by eighth graders Bryce and Juli. I think in my review of the first volume I said that it reminds me of Blade Runner and I, Robot and a couple of other things. Quite some exciting stuff.Īs for the artwork, I still very much like the style of that manga. And then there’s also the usual exploring, some interesting reveal towards the end, and also one moment that made my heart stop. There’s a lot of fighting in this volume. Kyrii and Cibo, still in search of the Net Terminal Gene, first manage to get some answers, then get into trouble, make new friends, get into more trouble, fight hard to survive, ideally manage to do that, and then hopefully get some more answers. With a better understanding of the worldbuilding I was finally able to fully immerse myself in the plot. Some chapters, towards the end especially, are very good. The reader has to do a lot less (guess)work compared to the previous volume. The characters are actually having a couple of conversations now that enhance comprehension of the world, of the several factions in it, and of their respective motivations. This second volume is a huge step forward in terms of storytelling. This eye-opening book is a profound reexamination of the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Ultimately, he suggests that if life on Earth can recover from the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, it can survive the onslaughts of the technological age. In so doing, he questions why we resist new forms of life, and why we see ourselves as unnatural. Most remarkably, Thomas shows, humans may well have raised the rate at which new species are formed to the highest level in the history of our planet.ĭrawing on the success stories of diverse species, from the ochre-colored comma butterfly to the New Zealand pukeko, Thomas overturns the accepted story of declining biodiversity on Earth. But in Inheritors of the Earth, biologist Chris Thomas shows that this obscures a more hopeful truth were also helping nature grow and change. Human cities and mass agriculture have created new places for enterprising animals and plants to live, and our activities have stimulated evolutionary change in virtually every population of living species. Its accepted wisdom today that human beings have permanently damaged the natural world, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change.

It's accepted wisdom today that human beings have permanently damaged the natural world, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change. Human activity has irreversibly changed the natural environment. His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. Ito's universe is also very cruel and capricious his characters often find themselves victims of malevolent unnatural circumstances for no discernible reason or punished out of proportion for minor infractions against an unknown and incomprehensible natural order. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby - even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga. Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. Waiting for the Night Song is a love song to the natural beauty around us, a call to fight for what we believe in, and a reminder that the truth will always rise. Now grown up, bound by long-held oaths, and faced with truths she does not wish to see, Cadie must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to protect the people and the forest she loves, as drought, foreclosures, and wildfire spark tensions between displaced migrant farm workers and locals. There, Cadie and Daniela are forced to face a dark secret that ended both their idyllic childhood bond and the magical summer that takes up more space in Cadie's memory then all her other years combined. But deep down, didn't she always know her secret would surface?Īn urgent message from her long-estranged best friend Daniela Garcia brings Cadie, now a forestry researcher, back to her childhood home. A moving novel about friendships forged in childhood magic and ruptured by the high price of secrets that leave you forever changed.Ĭadie Kessler has spent decades trying to cover up one truth. Not only can an attorney explain each aspect of your case, but he or she can educate you on the options for resolving those.įor 20-somethings facing divorce, it's possible they've spent most of their young adult years with their soon-to-be ex. You should consult with a family law attorney as early as possible. Keep in mind that in North Carolina, for example, alimony is a budget-driven inquiry, so even if one spouse needs alimony, the other spouse may not have the means to pay alimony. If you do not have a prenuptial agreement, it will be up to you and your spouse to resolve your respective claims for equitable distribution (property division), alimony, and - if you have children - custody and child support. It will likely address many of the issues related to your separation and divorce and may even resolve some or all of the claims you or your spouse could raise, saving you a lot of time and money! If you do have one, review the agreement carefully with an attorney to determine how it will impact your situation. If so, you're far from alone family law attorneys and researchers alike have noted the marked increase in recent years of the number of millennials entering into prenuptial agreements.
