Hot & Horrifying: The First Ladies of Horror is a must-hear for all fans of the "Scream Queen" and fans of independent horror as well. The term "Scream Queen" has at times been associated with negative comments from film critics who find the term - and the films it is associated with - to be demeaning, exploitive of women in horror films. Then again, some of these critics have admittedly never seen a horror film, let alone met the actresses they seem so intent on stereotyping.

The British Museum has two quite different archaeological exhibitions on view at the moment. In some ways, they echo one another. In other ways, they are quite strongly contrasted. The strongest link, of course is that they are about the archaeology of the Mediterranean, and that in addition, they both have ties to the classical Greek and Roman world that is still the main taproot of Western civilization.

Do you wish to find everyday solutions to the influences in the world that can negatively impact us? Here in this book, you will be provided with the best answers to all of those questions.

The book is essentially a breakdown of how society is like a cult in so many different ways - nationalism, religion, pop culture, scientific materialism, and even most alternatives. Then I explore some of the ways we can possibly create a "postcultoid" society - as an individual, through political and economic alternatives and through updated versions of spiritual traditions such as Taoism, hermeticism, and the "middle path" that is recognized by so many philosophers and spiritual teachers.

Ted Bundy was the man who defined the term "serial killer". Until his murderous rampage that spanned almost decades, law enforcement had never encountered such an elusive killer. Having experienced his first kill at age 14, he would go on to murder at least 36 young women, his last victim a 12-year-old grade school girl named Kimberly Leach - the crime for which he was sentenced to death in the electric chair.

One of the more well-known Mel Brooks quips is his statement, in reference to his birth, that "we were so poor, my mother couldn't afford to have me; the lady next door gave birth to me." While obviously fabricated, the story is worthy of note, as it illustrates Brooks' self-deprecatory Jewish humor and his way of transforming a childhood of deep adversity into fodder for comedy.

In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut.

Echolocation, impressive feats of strength? Although seemingly impossible, there are people who already have these abilities, which they acquired through diligent study and years of training. The human mind is an incredible thing. It can adapt to environmental and physical changes. In extreme cases when the body is subjected to horrific living conditions or accidents, the brain rewires everything at cellular level - a form of micro-evolution or mutation born out of need.

Terrorism. It is a tragically informing reality of our times. As poet WH Auden characterized a different era - "The Age of Anxiety" - so ours is "The Age of Terrorism". Urban-transit systems post signs that say "if you see something, say something". The warning appears in several languages. Yet, paradoxically, there is as yet no known profile of a terrorist.

The more you know about Bernie, the more you will love him. "I think there may be some symbolism here," Sanders said. "That bird is really a dove asking us for world peace. No more wars." Out of all of the presidential candidates, only Bernie was invited to meet with Pope Francis in Rome on April 15, 2016. Interestingly, just as Pope Francis is fondly called the "People's Pope," many future voters are calling Bernie Sanders the "People's Candidate."

Ottis Toole, born at the bottom of the gene pool, retarded and illiterate, had been out of control since early childhood. A severely drug-dependent individual as well as an arsonist, murderer, rapist, and cannibal, he was unsafe under any conditions outside of a secure prison, and perhaps unsafe there. To him, life itself was so unmeaning, and the distinction between living and dead people so blurred, that killing another human being was no more than swatting an annoying fly.

Henry Marsh was a neurosurgeon. As with any human, he made his share of mistakes in his life. It is the darker points of his life and career that are the center of his memoir, aptly titled Do No Harm.

Most normal people are shocked and become deeply affected once they find that someone has killed another individual, especially if it is a close friend or a relative. And so, the search for justice comes down, and when a suspect is tried and convicted, oftentimes they will plea for forgiveness, and throw themselves at the mercy of the court.

As the 19th-century philosopher Henry David Thoreau wrote, "It isn't enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?" If we want to take back control of our workday schedules and priorities, the simplest way to do it is by way of relentlessly wondering how we're spending our time. However, what questions ought we ask? The key here is control of attention. We're so distracted, and we're feeding that feeling on every occasion we switch between responsibilities. We need to (re)educate our attention.

In A Vulgar Art, Ian Brodie uses a folkloristic approach to stand-up comedy, engaging the discipline's central method of studying interpersonal, artistic communication and performance. Because stand-up comedy is a rather broad category, people who study it often begin by relating it to something they recognize - "literature" or "theatre"; "editorial" or "morality" - and analyze it accordingly. A Vulgar Art begins with a more fundamental observation: Someone is standing in front of a group of people, talking to them directly, and trying to make them laugh.

Our day-to-day experiences over the past decade have taught us that there must be limits to our tremendous appetite for energy, natural resources, and consumer goods. Even utility and oil companies now promote conservation in the face of demands for dwindling energy reserves. And for years some biologists have warned us of the direct correlation between scarcity and population growth.
