Thus, this study aims to investigate the different range of neighbourhood characteristics that affect the development of residents’ connection to their neighbourhoods. Place attachment, the residents’ meaningful bonds, to their living place, results from its environmental, socio-cultural and economic make-up.

"I've mulled it over in my mind, and I still don't understand why she would make such a comment." "Megan said something the other day that took me by surprise," she said. She turned her gaze to those men and answered. Johanna didn't know who asked that question. "You were saying, lass?" Father MacKechnie prodded, beaming with satisfaction over the gumption his mistress was showing in front of the men. A wave, of nausea washed over her, then just as rapidly disappeared. She grabbed hold of the edge of the table to balance herself. She blinked, trying to bring everyone back into focus. "Now then-and do pay attention, please, for I hate repeating myself-when I married your laird, the land became his. She turned her attention back to the soldiers.

The Anarchy tells one of history's most remarkable stories: how the Mughal Empire-which dominated world trade and manufacturing and possessed almost unlimited resources-fell apart and was replaced by a multinational corporation answerable only to shareholders, most of whom had never even seen India and no idea about the country whose wealth provided their dividends. Over the course of the next 47 years, the company's reach grew until almost all of India south of Delhi was essentially ruled from a boardroom in the city of London. In August 1765, the East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and set up, in his stead, a government run by English traders who collected taxes through means of a private army. The epic story of how the East India Company took over large swaths of Asia, and the devastating results of the corporation running a country.

I needed to know what I was up against.Īt first I started with the medications the doctors had prescribed. I knew better than to google anything, but I couldn’t not. I needed to start dialysis and get placed on a transplant list. The number four banged around inside my head, taunting me. My body ran cold and goose bumps broke out down my arms.

As if in return for such an arrangement of circumstances, Nabokov’s mermaid-like woman is granted a brief access to the otherworldly dimension, which she in turn feminizes and charges with her presence. In the best tradition of the Russian mermaid fairy-tales and films, she seems to have traded her voice for human form in order to be close to her beloved, but, misunderstood and unable to fit in his world of mortals, she ends up leaving forever, as he mourns the loss of his one chance at happiness. Barely trusted with any lines, not to mention internal monologues, she is essentially mute. Presented through the nostalgic prism of her absence, Nabokov's heroine is a poetic vessel of a male character’s journey. 5/12/2023 0 Comments The Hardest Peace by Kara TippettsIndeed, it is downright unrealistic to think that marriage will always be even keel and absent of struggle.
