They have two children, a daughter Alicia who is married to their son-in-law Mark and a son Daniel, who lives and works in North Carolina in the car industry. Jon married his wife, Christine, in July 1988. He also oversees the CCC staff and provides direct leadership to our outreach and care ministries. As lead pastor, Jon is our primary weekend speaker. Jon began CCC in 1992 and has remained for over 25 years. He then continued his studies at Baptist Bible Seminary, earning his Masters of Divinity in 1991. However, a high school teacher challenged him in his faith journey, thus altering his planned direction of becoming an architect to enrolling in the pastoral ministry program at Clarks Summit University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Bible. The son of a pastor, Jon had no interest in following in his dad’s footsteps. Jon’s faith journey began early when an after-breakfast conversation with his dad led him to accept Christ at the age of four. □ The 100 best horror movies of all-time From classics to cult favourites, zom-coms to willpower-testing gross-outs, these are the best of the undead best. So we decided to sort the sharp from the shambling and come up with a list of the greatest zombie flicks ever made. Of course, they’ve also produced a mass grave of schlock. Whatever the reason for its enduring popularity, zombies have exerted a powerful pull on movies for decades now. The concept is malleable enough to serve as allegories for real-world issues from racism to consumerism, and also naturally gory enough that if you simply want to make (or watch) a disgusting splatterfest, well, there’s no better genre. (Okay, it’s technically about a ‘fungal apocalypse’ that turns people into murderous mushrooms, but c’mon: it’s a zombie show at heart.) Ever since 1968’s Night of the Living Dead established the modern template for the zombie movie, the undead have continued to walk among us, with HBO’s The Last of Us being only the most recent example. Perhaps that bit of shared lineage – the knowledge that, no matter how rotted, feral and brain-hungry they become, they’re still humans at heart – explains why zombie mythology persists in popular culture. In fact, they literally are us, just, y’know, a bit slower, in both senses of the term. Online surveying of 1006 13-26 year olds in the UK and the US by anti-bullying group ‘Ditch The Label’ relayed that more than half (57%) did not identify themselves under the category ‘straight’ and 76% stated that sexuality labels are no longer important (2017). A 2017 report in the US by the national LGBTQ organisation GLAAD, found that 20% of the 2037 18-34yr olds surveyed openly identified themselves as being part of the LGBTQ community and 12% did not use traditional gender/sex identities or pronouns, using terms such as non-binary instead. Recent surveys and commentary, mainly from the US, but also from here in the UK, suggest that younger generations have an increasingly fluid conceptualisation of their sexual and gender identities and are less likely to identify rigidly as either straight or gay, or as either men or women. To a casual eye Bobby Comfort seemed the conventional suburban dweller. In this blend of insightful biography and true crime, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Ira Berkow chronicles the story, using first-hand accounts to weave together a fascinating portrait of a criminal and “a corking good cops-and-robbers tale” ( Library Journal). Sort of like Robin Hood-except for the part where he kept the loot himself-Comfort masterminded what was, at the time, the most lucrative heist in history, while appearing to his neighbors like an ordinary suburban family man. Eventually, taking money from the rich was where he excelled. He had taken to crime from a young age with card sharping and petty theft. The answer lay in the leader of the thieves, a man by the name of Bobby Comfort. The police were baffled by how such a large-scale operation could go off so smoothly. In January 1972, men in tuxedos robbed the Pierre, the luxurious Manhattan hotel, and got away with eleven million dollars’ worth of cash and jewelry. It just so happened that he was great at being a criminal. Growing up in Rochester, New York, Bobby Comfort wanted to be a good something. This Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s true account of the thief behind the famed 1972 heist is “an engrossing crime biography . . . Waiting for the sibling she has always wanted, …ĪNTI-BULLYING DAYS & WEEKS & MONTHS Across the world, days, weeks and months have been set aside to spotlight bullying. Things heat up even more for Ema when a bully at the neighborhood school that she has to attend in the fall makes her life miserable as well. It is always on her grandfather never misses the news. She finishes the schoolwork for the semester under her grandmother’s nose and in front of the television. Ema is miserable trying to keep peace between her grandmother and mother, to keep cool in the summer heat, and to keep up her studies. Ema’s grandmother takes care of them and makes sure that Ema knows the finer points of Japanese culture. She and her parents go across Tokyo to stay at her grandparents’ house. Ema has lived in Japan all her life, has attended Japanese public school, has done well and has friends that she has to leave for a few months because of her mother’s difficult pregnancy. Ema is an eleven-year-old American-Japanese girl bi-cultural, bilingual and bi-national with an American mother and a Japanese father. War and Peace tells the story of five aristocratic families - the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, the Rostovs, the Kuragins and the Drubetskoys-and the entanglements of their personal lives with the history of 1805–1813, principally Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. In the novel, his mother, Marya Feodorovna, is the most powerful woman in the Russian court. Catherine's grandson, Alexander I, came to the throne in 1801 at the age of 24. This historical and cultural context in the aristocracy is reflected in War and Peace. For the next one hundred years, it became a social requirement for members of the Russian nobility to speak French and understand French culture. Catherine, fluent in French and wishing to reshape Russia into a great European nation, made French the language of her royal court. The era of Catherine the Great (1762–1796), when the royal court in Paris was the centre of western European civilization, is still fresh in the minds of older people. The novel begins in the year 1805 during the reign of Tsar Alexander I and leads up to the 1812 French invasion of Russia by Napoleon. War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families. Paris had suggested that they were no longer together when this week she posted an Instagram video of herself walking down a city street with the caption, “know your worth & onto the next.” Powell, who starred in “Top Gun: Maverick,” was reported to be dating the model Gigi Paris. “I don’t date people in the spotlight,” she told Cosmopolitan last year. Sweeney, best known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “White Lotus,” is engaged to Jonathan Davino, a restaurateur, but has rarely publicly discussed her relationship. Powell may be heightened because they’re both romantically linked to other people. The two have been filming their upcoming romantic comedy “Anyone But You” in Australia, and fans have been following along as they post affectionate photos on Instagram and paparazzi photograph them on set. Rumors of a possible romance between the actors Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell swirled online this week after a series of seemingly flirtatious moments catapulted them into the spotlight. Few people of any gender in literature know their own minds the way Bella knows hers. A concept album about nocturnal ruminations, Midnights. It was announced at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, marking Swift's first new body of work since her 2020 indie folk albums, Folklore and Evermore. Summary: 1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world. Midnights is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 21, 2022, via Republic Records. Much of the fun of the original "Twilight" is in how Bella refuses to be swayed from her pursuit of romance, no matter what magic and horror Meyer throws at her. Midnight Sun : The Twilight Saga, Book 1.5. Once Bella decides she wants Edward, she wants Edward, cryptic warnings and disapproving vampire relations be damned. But she also has a kind of transcendent, absolute commitment to her own desires, which is, by turns, comic, frustrating and inspiring. She's so clumsy that she hurts herself playing badminton and so relentlessly shy and self-effacing that she spends much of her time trying desperately not to be noticed. But, unfortunately, the more you look through Edward's black, eerie vampire eyes, the more it becomes clear that the mundane human protagonist was more interesting all along.īella has no vampire super strength or super speed. I really liked seeing the growth of Stephenie as a writer. Meyer's work has always been steeped in fan-fiction traditions, and her loyal readers will no doubt enjoy the obsessive restaging of each glance in the lunchroom and each electric touch during biology class. Whatever the reason for the stigma, Im still a fan of the Twilight books. As the first Korean leader to make a state visit to the United States in 12 years, Yoon's trip was marked by events highlighting the ironclad relations between Seoul and Washington, including the adoption of the Washington Declaration on extended deterrence and the president's own viral moment singing an American pop song at the state dinner.
