![]() ![]() ![]() When you’re constantly trying to meet your own expectations and those of others, it’s easy to become stressed.Įmotional exhaustion is a feeling of being drained emotionally. They’re often overwhelmed by life and can’t do enough. Big Idea #1: Emotional exhaustion is a component of burnout, and it can happen when we get emotionally stuck. ![]() To accomplish this, you should focus on reducing daily stress why BMI is flawed (Body Mass Index) and how renaming your inner madwoman can help with that. The authors of Women’s Anatomy of Arousal have set out to help women with that information, giving them a way to understand their bodies and what is causing stress.Īlthough we might not be able to overthrow the patriarchy today, we can make progress in fighting against it by being informed and strong. Science has made some progress in understanding the reasons for burnout and exhaustion. However, they won’t address the problems that women face on a daily basis like systemic sexism, unrealistic expectations, and all the stress and anxiety those things can produce. There are many products that claim to help women relax and feel better about themselves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In contrast to them, she leads a lonely and solitary life out in the country with her mother – until one day, her mother goes missing. So this is the story of Enola, little sister of Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. Let me tell you why it didn’t fully live up to my expectations: A little bit about this book… To give you a little summary of what is to come – I thought it was great, I did like it, but not enough to give it the full five stars. And THEN it’s also the story of Sherlock Holmes’ little sister – what could be better than that? So OBVIOUSLY I was sold – I had to read this book. The first thing that caught my attention here was the cover – I mean LOOK at it! The interplay of red and black, the intricate little details that wait to be discovered…it just suits the story perfectly! And then it is set in Victorian England – my most favourite of all the (literary) eras. ![]() ![]() We love original content and self-posts!

Thompson's writing culminated in a few of his best-regarded works: The Killer Inside Me, Savage Night, A Hell of a Woman and Pop. Only after death did Thompson's literary stature grow, when in the late 1980s, several novels were re-published in the Black Lizard series of re-discovered crime fiction. Despite some positive critical notice, notably by Anthony Boucher in the New York Times, he was little-recognized in his lifetime. Thompson wrote more than thirty novels, the majority of which were original paperback publications by pulp fiction houses, from the late-1940s through mid-1950s. James Myers Thompson was a United States writer of novels, short stories and screenplays, largely in the hardboiled style of crime fiction.

"We were up in the mountains, many days by canoe ride from civilization, and we stumbled upon this huge boulder with a petroglyph: a man with a mask or helmet on, holding a stick and a sack with what looked like seeds coming out of it," he said. During subsequent visits to Honduras, he saw evidence in the jungle that further piqued his interest. In the 1940s, an American explorer named Theodore Morde returned from an expedition to La Mosquitia with thousands of artifacts he declared that he had discovered the legendary city and that Indigenous people described an enormous statue of a monkey god that had been buried there, according to National Geographic.Įlkins' fascination with the White City began in the 1990s, when he first heard about the city while working as a television producer. Elkins was part of the team that discovered the ruins of what is thought to be the White City, in collaboration with the government of Honduras and Honduran scientists. However, the region is currently threatened by illegal logging and wildlife trafficking, creating serious risks not only for local habitats and biodiversity but also for the preservation of important archaeological sites that could become vulnerable to looting, filmmaker and explorer Doug Elkins told Live Science. ![]() |
