New York kept going forward precisely because it didn’t give a good goddamn about what it had left behind. ![]() As if it were the only place that ever existed and the only one that ever would. ![]() He had seen a T-shirt once that said: NEW YORK FUCKIN’ CITY. No, the city couldn’t care less about where it stood. It had no need to believe in itself as a London, or an Athens, or even a signifier of the New World, like a Sydney, or a Los Angeles. The city lived in a sort of everyday present. Strange things occurred precisely because there was no necessary regard for the past. It happened, and re-happened, because it was a city uninterested in history. ![]() It assailed you with an image, or a day, or a crime, or a terror, or a beauty so difficult to wrap your mind around that you had to shake your head in disbelief.

While most Flatlanders would flatly reject such an outrageous idea, Mr Square In this well-ordered world lives the narrator, A Square, a professional gentleman and proud father of four pentagonal sons (for male children have a good chance of being born with one more side than their fathers). No-one in Flatland has any notion of a third dimension everything is "Infinitely-sided" circles form the highest cast consisting of priests, and straight lines the lowest, consisting of - who else? - women. In Flatland, the more sides you've got, the higher up the social scale you are. It still is one of the best introductions to a mathematical world of higher dimensions, and it's an amazingly imaginative social satire, too.įlatland is set in a flat land: the two-dimensional plane inhabited by straight lines, polygons and circles. Abbott wrote this beautiful tale over a hundred years ago under the pseudonym A Square. ![]() Flatland: a romance of many dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Fifteen years in the making, the first volume of the full-scale astonishing life of one of our greatest screen actresses whose career in pictures spanned four decades beginning with the coming of sound-the first to delve deeply into Stanwyck's rich, complex life and to explore her extraordinary range of eighty-eight motion pictures, many of them iconic her work, her world, her Hollywood through an American century.Frank Capra called her, "The greatest emotional actress the screen has yet known."

Production of these cells results from activation of a myeloid differentiation program in bone marrow (BM) by a novel mechanism in which tumor-derived granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) directs expansion and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells to skew hematopoiesis toward the myeloid lineage. Using a multistage mouse model of breast cancer, we show that production of atypical T cell-suppressive neutrophils occurs during early tumor progression, at the onset of malignant conversion, and that these cells preferentially accumulate in peripheral tissues but not in the primary tumor. Despite their clinical relevance, the mechanisms controlling myeloid cell production and activity in cancer remains poorly understood. Expansion of myeloid cells associated with solid tumor development is a key contributor to neoplastic progression. ![]() ![]() ![]() A Britain where the ghosts are unquiet, where the woods are alive and where distinctions between the present, the future and the past are permeable.

Is she a reincarnation of her ancestor? And will she turn out as unangelic in adulthood as that distant ancestor turned out before her? And in The Bell in the Fog (reminiscent of The Turn of the Screw, and dedicated to Henry James) the supernatural and psychological combine to brilliant effect: an angelic child bears a striking resemblance to an old portrait. Elsewhere, The Greatest Good of the Greatest Number, The Tragedy of a Snob, and A Monarch of a Small Survey the psychological takes precedence over the supernatural. The Striding Place was rejected by one editor as 'far too gruesome', but was in Atherton's view 'the best short story I ever wrote'. She eloped at the age of nineteen, took up writing against her husband's wishes, and after his death became a protegee of Ambrose Bierce, whose influence can be seen here in those stories, The Dead and the Countess, Death and the Woman and The Striding Place, which have an overtly supernatural element.
