Adding insult to the injury is Jun’s family’s reluctance to talk about it openly. ![]() Jay remembered Jun as soft and kind-hearted, an old soul that would one never accuse of being involved in any illicit trade.

Just when he planned to spend his spring break playing video games with his best friend, he learned that his cousin Jun fell prey to President Duterte’s infamous campaign against illegal drugs. Jay’s gently sailing life would soon be rocked by a devastating news from the Philippines.

But i wished i was good enough at Mathematics to at least attempt to experience the beauty of it. I could understand the importance of Ramanujan's work, thanks to Kanigel's explanation. And i never regretted it anytime until i read some of the mathematical parts in this book. He succeeds in successfully recreating the early 20th century rural Tamilnadu as well as Ramanujan's isolation in war time England for the readers. The author clearly researched his subject thoroughly. This biography by Robert Kanigel is a work of outstanding literary and scholarly accomplishment. There was a news about his last notebooks on mock modular forms being proven just last month. That mathematicians are trying to come to terms with his papers and notebooks to this day, is a testimony to his originality. He was a genius whose early death, owing to a multitude of factors not entirely in his control, was a tragedy too profound for tears, as someone said. 2013 December 22nd was the 125th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments Hunted book pc cast![]() ![]() The red fledglings have cleaned up well - they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home - but are they really as friendly as they seem?

6/6/2023 0 Comments Ant comic michael deforge![]() ![]() Then the kid becomes a prophet or something to the bees and… that’s it. A similar thing happens when the kid blends the earthworm and inhales it because earthworms in this world can’t die. The kid with the earthworm story is a lot like the Itchy & Scratchy parody of Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice where Scratchy chops up Itchy so many times Itchy becomes a vapour which Scratchy inhales and dies. Ant Colony has an interesting look to the art - it’s very colourful, the creatures are designed weirdly, with a dog face for a spider, and a cheerful limo-look to the centipede, and the ants all look like anything but ants - but DeForge’s various rambling plotlines don’t really go anywhere. This was my first Michael DeForge comic and, having now finished it, I’m not encouraged to rush back for more. A couple of gay ants have relationship troubles everyone’s bothered by the repetitive drudgery of their work and the seeming pointlessness of keeping their Queen happy a father gives bad advice to his son regarding an earthworm leading to his son becoming a prophet(!) there’s an ant-hunt to catch a serial-killing spider and war with the red ants, a neighbouring colony, begins. ![]() ![]() Ant Colony is a subversive look at Western society through the prism of anthropomorphised ants. ![]() |
