There are now many photos and videos online of Kelly's two parties. They went from Maison Fonfon to the Sass Café around 11:00 PM and had a Brazilian party with a very large B flag. It was striking that there were only two real friends of Kelly, Maria Solo Cecchi and Yara Akkari and only two friends of Max, Nyck de Vries and Majdi Hajjar. The rest are all superficial acquaintances of Kelly. Her BFF Yasmin Devenport wasn't even there either. Does she have any friends? Max a lot, but they weren't there. Mark Cox, Stan Pex and Lando Norris for example. It's all about Kelly. The same adult!! people were also at Penelope's birthday party. Is she that selfish?

2020 in books so far! All 21 of them!

Season of Storms by Andrzej Sapkowski -- Finished January 1st. My least favorite Witcher novel. In a series that managed to surprise and endear me at every turn, this one final romp did almost nothing for me. 2/5 stars.

Star Wars: Hard Merchandise by K.W. Jeter -- Finished January 17th. The final chapter in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy, and by far the worst of the three. 2/5 stars.

Migration by Julie E. Czerneda -- Finished February 18th. The middle chapter in Czerneda’s excellent Species Imperative trilogy, fun and charismatic, sciencey and cute. Didn’t hit me quite the same way as the first in the trilogy did, but still had fun. 4/5 stars.

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn -- Finished February 2nd. It was okay. 3/5 stars.

To be continued under the cut, including thoughts on The Expanse, which has taken over my life this year:

Mass Effect: Revelation by Drew Karpyshyn -- Finished February 25th. Borrowed from a coworker, was immensely disappointed, decided once and for all I wasn’t going to touch tie-in novels for the rest of the year. That wound up being a great decision. 2/5 stars.

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty -- Finished March 12th. The first of Chakraborty’s Daevabad trilogy, this was a great little historical fantasy fiction about a half-djinn caught up in about a thousand tropes I usually hate, but were written with care and nuance and charm. 4/5 stars.

Midway through The City of Brass, news of a virus overseas begin making waves.

Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie -- Finished March 29th. The first of Leckie’s Imperial Radch saga. So, so, so many incredible concepts that I loved dearly... but all just slightly off to the side of where they would normally hit me. I wanted to love this book so badly, and it kept almost hitting me, but never quite did, at least not as hard as I wanted it to. Still, I enjoyed the world and the characters enough that I bought the sequel and will read it soon. 3/5 stars.

AAAAAND PANDEMIC! I began this book when I was still working, and finished it while in quarantine. So that’s fun. From here on out, all of these books were read from my couch or my bed.

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison -- Finished April 16th. Another book I wanted desperately to love and... succeeded a bit more than with Ancillary Justice, thanks to how ceaselessly charming it was. But the names. Oh, god this book is full of fake fantasy names and titles and you have to remember all of them and the glossary isn’t always helpful. But, still. I found myself so endeared, I couldn’t put it down. 4/5 stars.

Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey -- Finished May 3rd. The first book of The Expanse, and I fell in love instantly. This one hit all the right buttons and didn’t stop: good science fiction, fun space adventure, charming characters, perfect level of tension, the list goes on. And reading this one was... the beginning of a certain obsession I’ve had this year. 5/5 stars.

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks -- Finished May 21st. The latter half of this book? Great. Stellar. The first half...? Uhhhhh. Eh? By far one of the most insufferable protagonists I’ve ever had to slog through, but some really cool scifi concepts here (and also some really bad ones -- the whole desert island cannibal thing was stupid as hell, but the Damage Game got me). 3/5 stars.

Caliban’s War by James S.A. Corey -- Finished May 30th. The second book in The Expanse series. I could not put this one down. Everything I loved about Leviathan Wakes, amplified a thousand times. The additions of Bobbie, Prax, and Avasarala made me ascend. This book fired on all cylinders and I loved every moment of it; it stands as one of my three favorite Expanse books so far -- but we’ll get to those. Anyway, I can’t give it 6/5, so we’ll have to settle with: 5/5 stars.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut -- Finished June 1st. A book I’d been meaning to read for a while and finally got around to. Literally finished it in two sittings. Mostly it made me sad. 4/5 stars.

The Strong Shall Live by Louis L’Amour -- Finished June 2nd. A collection of wild west short stories. A couple were great, a few were awful -- most were just okay. I’d been reading it slowly since December, and finishing felt more like a weight off my mind than anything else. Still, some of these stories were incredibly memorable. 3/5 stars.

Larissa by Emily Devenport -- Finished June 4th. I read this in about three sittings overall, which is a lot faster than I usually read. It wasn’t particularly good, but it was the exact sort of scifi junk I eat up for some reason. This is... a very, very weird one. It was very progressive for the time (the book is as old as I am), so much so that I wasn’t surprised to find her on Twitter very publicly supporting BLM and decrying the current administration. It’s about a black woman in space, wealth disparity, and a bunch of other stuff. Some of it works, some of it doesn’t, but Devenport was trying, all the way back in 93. It’s also the sequel to a book I didn’t know existed until I’d already finished, but I guess that one didn’t matter so much to the plot of Larissa? Anyway, had a blast, even though I can’t quite put a finger on why. 4/5 stars. (I actually had this one marked as 3/5 stars, but my memories of it are all very positive, so... it was worth the bump.)

Abaddon’s Gate by James S.A. Corey -- Finished June 13th. Third in The Expanse, and not my favorite. The pacing in the first half was a little wonky, but once it gets going, boy does it go. 4/5 stars.

Regeneration by Julie E. Czerneda -- Finished June 25th. The final entry in the Species Imperative trilogy. This might have been my least favorite of the three, unfortunately, as much like Ancillary Justice it always seemed to hit just to the side of where I wanted it to. The first one was by far my favorite, and the third installment just couldn’t recapture that magic, but I love the protagonist and was happy to walk with her to the end. Plus, as always, there’s some damn good science fiction here. 4/5 stars.

Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey -- Finished July 4th. HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER, this one has everything! I don’t even want to spoil what, just know that this is exactly what you want after Abaddon’s Gate, and had everything it was missing and more. This one rocked my fucking world, and is one of my three favorite Expanse books so far. Another one I’d rate higher if I could, but for now... 5/5 stars.

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold -- DNF, July 8th. This book had me until the 35-year-old protagonist started trying to hide his arousal while he was watching the two teenage girls he was tutoring swim, and it was played off as like... cute? I don’t know man, fuck this book, it made me miserable.

Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey -- Finished July 16th. Once again, HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER, HELL YEAH! This book begins with some of the slowest pacing in the series so far, but god, have they earned it. It feels so good to just take a break and walk a mile in the shoes of all your favorite characters. And then when things hit? Boy do they fucking hit. The third in my trifecta of favorite Expanse books so far, and another I’d rate higher if I could. 5/5 stars.

The Assassin’s Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke -- Finished July 21st. I really thought this was going to be a fun pirate book. Instead, it’s a book about a fun pirate slogging along with the most obnoxious man in the history of fiction, who she is also falling in love with, apparently, for some reason. I don’t know. This is a duology but idk if I’m even interested in the sequel. Which is a shame, because I really liked the protagonist. 2/5 stars.

Babylon’s Ashes by James S.A. Corey -- Finished August 5th. Definitely my least favorite Expanse novel so far, mostly because the narrative was stretched very thin. This one hit really fucking hard toward the beginning, and again at the end, but in the middle? The middle was very... nebulous. A lot happens and I’m not interested in all of it, which is something this series has thus far managed to avoid doing. Still, very good, just not quite up to the standards I’m used to from this series. 4/5 stars.

And... it’s August! And I haven’t picked up another book since the 5th, which feels weird, but is due to a lot of factors. I’m in the middle of moving, so I don’t have as much time to read during the day. But also I’m waiting on a shipment of books to come in, and it hasn’t yet, and that’s stressing me out. Of those, there are a couple I’m leaning toward reading, but if the ol’ Read The First Page trick doesn’t work on any of them, I’ll probably hop back to Imperial Radch.

John Hume: el ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz muere a los 83 años

Nueva Noticia publicada en https://noticiasq.com/john-hume-el-ganador-del-premio-nobel-de-la-paz-muere-a-los-83-anos/

John Hume: el ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz muere a los 83 años

El ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz de Irlanda del Norte y político eminente John Hume murió a los 83 años. Murió el lunes temprano en el hogar de ancianos de Owen Mor en Londonderry. Uno de los políticos de más alto perfil en Irlanda del Norte durante más de 30 años ha ayudado a crear el clima que puso fin a los problemas. Fue uno de los miembros fundadores del Partido Socialdemócrata y Laborista (SDLP) en 1970 y dirigió el partido desde 1979 hasta noviembre de 2001. Hume jugó un papel importante en las conversaciones de paz que condujeron al acuerdo del Viernes Santo en 1998. El ex primer ministro Tony Blair, que estaba en el cargo cuando se firmó el acuerdo de paz, rindió un cálido homenaje al fallecido líder del SDP. «John Hume era un titán político; un visionario que se negaba a creer que el futuro debería ser el mismo que el pasado», dijo Blair. «Su contribución a la paz en Irlanda del Norte ha sido épica y será recordada con razón por esto». «Insistió en que era posible, incansable en su búsqueda e infinitamente creativo en la búsqueda de formas de lograrlo». Tras el acuerdo de paz de 1998, Hume recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz, junto con el entonces líder del partido sindicalista Ulster, David Trimble.

Lord Trimble también reconoció el compromiso de Hume con los esfuerzos de paz en Irlanda del Norte. «No hay absolutamente ninguna duda de que fue una figura prominente en el proceso», dijo. «Desde el comienzo de los problemas, John instaba a las personas a respetar pacíficamente su objetivo y criticaba constantemente a quienes no se daban cuenta de la importancia de la paz». «Hizo una importante contribución a la política en Irlanda del Norte, en particular al proceso que nos dio un acuerdo de que todavía estamos trabajando». «Esto es extremadamente importante. Será recordado por esa contribución en los años venideros».

El Sr. Hume había estado sufriendo de demencia durante muchos años. En una declaración, su familia dijo: «John era esposo, padre, abuelo, bisabuelo y hermano. «Fue muy amado y su familia sentirá profundamente su pérdida».

Análisis: editor político de la BBC, Mark Devenport No es posible sobreestimar la contribución de John Hume al desarrollo político de Irlanda del Norte. Ciertamente, en esos años, fue el cerebro detrás del enfoque del proceso de paz. Trabajó en diferentes relaciones, tratando de resolver problemas que parecían por tantos años completamente sin ninguna solución posible. Ayudó a crear el espacio político en el que las diferentes partes podrían avanzar hacia lo que se ha convertido en el acuerdo del Viernes Santo. John Hume luchó en tiempos difíciles durante los Problemas, cuando los oponentes atacaron cada tipo de diálogo como un signo de debilidad. Perseveró con sus esfuerzos por encontrar una solución.

La declaración de la familia agregó: «Nos gustaría extender nuestro más profundo y sincero agradecimiento al personal de atención y enfermería del hogar de ancianos Owen Mor en Derry. «La atención que le han mostrado a John en los últimos meses de su vida ha sido excepcional. «Como familia, estamos infaliblemente inspirados por la profesionalidad, la compasión y el amor que han mostrado a John y a todos los que los cuidan. «Nunca podemos mostrarles adecuadamente nuestro agradecimiento por el cuidado de John en un momento en que no pudimos». «La familia se sintió muy cómoda al regresar con John en los últimos días de su vida».

New prize to honour Diana Keir in 2020 Kangaroo Island Easter Art Exhibition | The Islander

news, local-news, kangaroo island, art

A brand new prize in honour of the late Diana Keir will bring the total value of prizes at next year's Easter Art Exhibition to almost $10,000. Diana, who passed away early this year, was one of the island's outstanding artists. Diana devoted a great deal of time and energy to local arts. As well as being an annual entrant in the Easter exhibition, she was also for many years co-curator, applying her discerning eye to the display of entries and the presentation of the hall. The KI Easter Art Exhibition was her favourite Island art event and takes places at the Penneshaw Town Hall every second year. The impetus for the Diana Keir Art Award came from a long-standing friend of Diana's, Alexandra McCarthy, who sought to honour the life and art of a very special person. "Diana was an inspirational woman, full of life and love for the everyday unexpected beauty in the world," Alexandra, who remembers how important the island was to Diana's art, said. In her interpretive oils on canvas, usually in summer landscape shades, Diana strove to catch the scope and timeless nature of the island's horizons where the narrow leaf mallee meets the sea. Strong brush strokes and flowing gestural marks made her work instantly recognisable. When Diana and her husband, Bruce, sold Happiness Wines and their cellar door business at Antechamber Bay in 2016, Diana's style was the impetus for the sale: the new owners Daisy and Gordon Hoo duplicated the Chapman River cellar door at their retail headquarters in Guangzhou right down to the smallest detail. Diana's delicate floral watercolours even found a second life on fashionable women's clothing sold in the couple's 500 'Goelia' stores. $5000 FIRST PRIZE The winner of the inaugural Diana Keir Art Award will receive $5000. Second prize will be $1000. However, the intention is to secure sufficient funding for a prize of $10,000. As such, the award will be an invaluable contribution to the longevity of the KI Easter Art Exhibition. It will not only underpin future events and but will undoubtedly attract a greater number and range of competitors from on and off the island. The theme for the award in 2020 is 'On The Edge' and is open to entries in any medium. Entry forms can be downloaded from the ACKI website at https://kangarooislandartworks.wordpress.com/easter-art-exhibition/. A limited number of hard copies can be picked up at the Artworks Gallery, Baudin Beach, or in Kingscote at Fine Art Kangaroo Island. The deadline for entry forms and all cataloguing information is March 1, 2020. SECOND JUDGE ANNOUNCED The EAE committee is delighted to announce that another highly respected judge has been secured for the 2020 event: Emma Fey, CEO of Guildhouse, South Australia's preeminent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting artists, craftspeople and designers to develop sustainable careers. Emma will team up with Rhana Devenport ONZM, director of the Art Gallery of South Australia and successor to Nick Mitzevich, who judged the 2016 exhibition. The 2020 KI Easter Art Exhibition could not ask for a better endorsement or greater encouragement than to have advocates of such high standing in the arts community to judge our work. So pull out all stops, artists of KI, and bring out your very best for 2020. For information on donating to the Diana Keir Art Prize, please contact Alexandra at [email protected]. The whole community is invited to the official opening of "The Orchid Garden" by Victor Waclawik at the KI Sculpture Trail at Penneshaw at 11am on Sunday, December 29.

New prize to honour Diana Keir in 2020 Kangaroo Island Easter Art Exhibition

A brand new prize in honour of the late Diana Keir will bring the total value of prizes at next year's Easter Art Exhibition to almost $10,000.

Diana, who passed away early this year, was one of the island's outstanding artists. Diana devoted a great deal of time and energy to local arts.

As well as being an annual entrant in the Easter exhibition, she was also for many years co-curator, applying her discerning eye to the display of entries and the presentation of the hall.

The KI Easter Art Exhibition was her favourite Island art event and takes places at the Penneshaw Town Hall every second year.

The impetus for the Diana Keir Art Award came from a long-standing friend of Diana's, Alexandra McCarthy, who sought to honour the life and art of a very special person.

"Diana was an inspirational woman, full of life and love for the everyday unexpected beauty in the world," Alexandra, who remembers how important the island was to Diana's art, said.

In her interpretive oils on canvas, usually in summer landscape shades, Diana strove to catch the scope and timeless nature of the island's horizons where the narrow leaf mallee meets the sea. Strong brush strokes and flowing gestural marks made her work instantly recognisable.

When Diana and her husband, Bruce, sold Happiness Wines and their cellar door business at Antechamber Bay in 2016, Diana's style was the impetus for the sale: the new owners Daisy and Gordon Hoo duplicated the Chapman River cellar door at their retail headquarters in Guangzhou right down to the smallest detail.

Diana's delicate floral watercolours even found a second life on fashionable women's clothing sold in the couple's 500 'Goelia' stores.

Stormont power-sharing talks going down to the wire – BBC News

Talks to restore Northern Ireland's devolved government are going down to the wire, with just one full day left for parties to reach an agreement.

Discussions have been taking place to bring back power-sharing at Stormont before Thursday afternoon's deadline.

On Tuesday, Sinn Fin warned that the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) had not moved on any of the main issues at the centre of the political crisis.

The DUP encouraged Sinn Fin to "come back from the brink".

The parties called time on negotiations shortly after 22:30 BST, with plans to resume on Wednesday morning.

Sticking points as Stormont deadline looms

Tory-DUP deal: What you need to know

How will the 1bn be spent?

How will deal affect Stormont talks?

On Tuesday, Secretary of State James Brokenshire said there had been "intensive engagement" but warned that time for a deal was running short, stressing that the deadline was set down in law.

The parties have until 16:00 BST on Thursday to restore the executive or Northern Ireland faces the prospect of a return of direct rule from London.

Mr Brokenshire is heading to London on Wednesday for Northern Ireland Questions and the vote on the Queen's Speech, which sets out the government's legislative programme for the next two years.

'High-wire acts'

The negotiations involve the five main Northern Ireland parties and the UK and Irish governments, although a deal is dependent on whether the two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Fin, can resolve their differences.

These include republican demands for a stand-alone Irish Language Act and rights for the LGBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) community.

BBC News NI political correspondent Gareth Gordon said there was little sign of a deal being close on Tuesday, with "rancour replacing whatever hope existed".

Sinn Fin chairman Declan Kearney said there must be a free-standing Irish Language Act for there to be progress.

"The DUP have not moved on any of the substantive issues which sit at the heart of this crisis," he said. "They haven't moved on any of the fundamental rights and equality issues that require to be embraced."

The DUP have offered a hybrid model legislation which would cover both Irish language and Ulster Scots, according to BBC News NI political editor Mark Devenport.

Image caption The DUP's Edwin Poots said his party had "no red lines"

DUP negotiator Edwin Poots urged Sinn Fin not to engage in "high-wire acts".

He suggested a "parallel process" could be initiated where an executive is formed while talks on the outstanding issues continued.

Mr Poots said negotiations were ongoing.

"I can't say they are easy but nonetheless we want to get Stormont up and running and we can get it up and running straight away and distribute the money our DUP have successfully received from the UK government," he said.

Westminster deal

He was referring to the 1bn the DUP negotiated for Northern Ireland as part of an agreement to prop up Theresa May's minority government.

Under the "supply and confidence" arrangement, the DUP guarantees that its 10 MPs will vote with the government on the Queen's Speech, the Budget, and legislation relating to Brexit and national security.

While rival Stormont parties have largely welcomed the additional funding, concerns have been raised that the deal could undermine the peace process and devolution negotiations, with the UK government dependent on the support of the DUP.

Northern Ireland has effectively been without a devolved government for almost six months.

Its institutions collapsed amid a bitter row between the DUP and Sinn Fin about a botched green energy scheme.

The late deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness, stood down in protest over the DUP's handling of an investigation into the scandal, in a move that triggered a snap election in March.
