Kiernan and “Some Distant Baying Sound” (2009) by W. “The Hound” is as decadent a story as Lovecraft ever wrote, and its spawn include “Houndwife” (2010) by Caitlín R. The stories have become generational, told and retold, embellished and expanded upon, adapted to the syntax of the era. Brite, “His Mouth Will Taste Of Wormwood” At last I came to agree with Lois that only the plundering of graves might cure us of the most stifling ennui we had yet suffered. These rooms were where our museum would be set up. Our museum was a blasphemous, unthinkable place, where with the satanic taste of neurotic virtuosi we had assembled an universe of terror and decay to excite our jaded sensibilities. I cannot reveal the details of our shocking expeditions, or catalogue even partly the worst of the trophies adorning the nameless museum we prepared in the great stone house where we jointly dwelt, alone and servantless. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Rusty marching powder![]() Written by lawyer Rusty Young, Marching Powder - sometimes shocking, sometimes funny - is a riveting story of survival. Marching Powder is a shocking, sometimes darkly comic account of life in San Pedro. ![]() The result is one of the most compelling prison stories of all time. ![]() When he was told that for a bribe of $5,000 his sentence could be overturned, it was the many backpackers who'd passed through who sent him the money. When Rusty met Thomas, they formed a surprising yet instant friendship and then became partners in an attempt to record Thomas's experiences in the jail. Thomas ended up making a living by giving backpackers tours of the prison - he became a fixture on the backpacking circuit and was named in the Lonely Planet guide to Bolivia.

Prisoners have to pay an entrance fee and buy their own cells (the alternative is to sleep outside and die of exposure) prisoners' wives and children often live inside, too high-quality cocaine is manufactured and sold from the prison. Thomas found himself in a bizarre world, the prison reflecting all that is wrong with South American society.

Finally, we highlight higher-order compartmentalised systems that exhibit emergent properties. We chart the development of man-made transmembrane systems from passive to machine-like stimuli-responsive channels, to fully autonomous transmembrane molecular machines. We illustrate the importance of surfaces for facilitating the extraction of work from molecular switches and motors.

This tutorial review opens by highlighting seminal examples of synthetic molecular machines. Man the molecule, phantasmal thanatology, by Charles Edgar De Angurre. ![]() Indeed, the realisation of such principles in synthetic transmembrane systems remains a tantalising goal. Many of these molecular machines function within lipid membranes, allowing them to exploit potential gradients between spatially close, but chemically distinct environments to fuel their work cycle. Nature's molecular machines are a constant source of inspiration to the chemist. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Driven k bromberg series![]() KB: I am currently working on the follow-up book to The Player, titled, "The Catch," out on June 29, and it continues to center on Scout and Easton. How did this role reversal inform the story and their relationship? MW: In "The Player," both Easton and Scout find themselves going through the phase in life where they have become the caretaker of a parent and we see a lot of dedication and vulnerability from both of them. But at the same time, I might not have this career that I love or have my three beautiful children, so hindsight is always 20-20 and often skewed. Of course, now I regret the decision to not attend an Ivy League school and the opportunities and experiences I may have missed. I ended up attending school in California and getting degrees in economics and political science and breaking up with the boy. My parents urged me to go because they knew how incredible the opportunity was for me at the time and for my future, but sometimes there is no reasoning with a teenager who thinks they know everything. We both had a lot of growing up to do and yet the fear of moving across the country (from California to Yale or Princeton) and leaving everything I had known (family, boyfriend, sunny skies) scared me tremendously. ![]() I was always the guys' best friend and never the love interest and so the first time I became more than a friend, I fell hard. ![]() KB: The decisions we make in our youth aren't always the wisest ones, right?
