Book excerpt: Divine Decree is the second poetry book by Ella Zelensky. To know this is a book that people will be holding in their hands is beyond incredible to Ella, as this book was a difficult and daunting one to publish because it's an insight into what happened to her personally, and things that have happened to others. Compelled to write her experiences down, therapeutic in its process, Ella realised that it especially served as an educational tool to inform people that these experiences can and do happen. Some people do, unfortunately, take their lives in circumstances like the ones she and others went through as detailed in this book, and a lot of people don't see more than the classroom appearance or the bus pickup in the afternoon of those who have left us. We have probably walked past someone who had no one to sit with, who was on their way to hide in the library or in a toilet stall. Someone who was hurting. and even living their last day. These situations exist, and people themselves exist. So fortunate to have recovered from that time all on her own, because deep down, Ella knew she didn't want to not be here anymore. Rather, Ella wanted to change the 'here' a lot of us don't want to be in to a 'here' we love and savour. Her dream to be a humanitarian worker largely comes from all the people she has met in her life, the struggles she has faced, as well as her familial heritage, hobbies, and academic studies. From the time we were pinning name cards to our shirts and learning the alphabet all the way to our adulthood. It always inspired this question for Ella: why do people treat each other the way they do? But more importantly: and how can we fix it?

Download or read book Monsters and Monarchs written by Debbie Felton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack the Ripper. Jeffrey Dahmer. John Wayne Gacy. Locusta of Gaul. If that last name doesn’t seem to fit with the others, it’s likely because our modern society largely believes that serial killers are a recent phenomenon. Not so, argues Debbie Felton—in fact, there’s ample evidence to show that serial killers stalked the ancient world just as they do the modern one. Felton brings this evidence to light in Monsters and Monarchs, and in doing so, forces us to rethink the assumption that serial killers arise from problems unique to modern society. Exploring a trove of stories from classical antiquity, she uncovers mythological monsters and human criminals that fit many serial killer profiles: the highway killers confronted by the Greek hero Theseus, such as Procrustes, who tortured and mutilated their victims; the Sphinx, or “strangler,” from the story of Oedipus; child-killing demons and witches, which could explain abnormal infant deaths; and historical figures such as Locusta of Gaul, the most notorious poisoner in the early Roman Empire. Redefining our understanding of serial killers and their origins, Monsters and Monarchs changes how we view both ancient Greek and Roman society and the modern-day killers whose stories still captivate the public today.

Now the crew of Zuma’s Ghost must contend with personnel changes and a powerful cabal hellbent on dominating the trade lanes in this fast-paced, action-packed follow-up to A Pale Light in the Black. Zuma’s Ghost has won the Boarding Games for the second straight year. The crew—led by the unparalleled ability of Jenks in the cage, the brilliant pairing of Ma and Max in the pilot seats, the technical savvy of Sapphi, and the sword skills of Tamago and Rosa—has all come together to form an unstoppable team. Until it all comes apart. Their commander and Master Chief are both retiring. Which means Jenks is getting promoted, a new commander is joining them, and a fresh-faced spacer is arriving to shake up their perfect dynamics. And while not being able to threepeat is on their minds, the more important thing is how they’re going to fulfill their mission in the black. After a plea deal transforms a twenty-year ore-mining sentence into NeoG service, Spacer Chae Ho-ki earns a spot on the team. But there’s more to Chae that the crew doesn’t know, and they must hide a secret that could endanger everyone they love—as well as their new teammates—if it got out. At the same time, a seemingly untouchable coalition is attempting to take over trade with the Trappist colonies and start a war with the NeoG. When the crew of Zuma’s Ghost gets involved, they end up as targets of this ruthless enemy. With new members aboard, will the team grow stronger this time around? Will they be able to win the games? And, more important, will they be able to surmount threats from both without and within?
