Until the morning she wakes up in her mammy's living room in Dublin with her face in stitches, a dislocated knee, and completely smashed-up hands - and no memory of how she got there. ![]() She has the "Best Job in the World" as a PR exec for a top-selling urban beauty brand, a lovely apartment in New York, and a perfect husband - the love of her life, Aidan Maddox. In this funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant new tale set in the Big Apple, it's Anna's turn in the spotlight. Marian Keyes has introduced readers to the lives, loves, and foibles of the five Walsh sisters. ![]() ![]() ![]() Second, that "waiting will harm the Steves more because you snatch away tournaments right when they start doing well". This is ridiculous because no one knows if it will get to that point, because we don't know if Steve pickrate will increase and/or Steve counterplay will advance. First, that "we should prevent it from getting to that point". I've seen two main counterarguments to this position. If you can play ICs and make GFs (losing to one of your horrible character's horrible MUs), then the meta is very far from degenerating. If you have to play Steve to win, then the meta is not healthy. ![]() ![]() ![]() And there is a clear competitive reason for it: other characters can't keep up with character getting banned. That's the point – similarly reached by Brawl MK – where it's clearly time to step in and consider changing something. As another user ( u/markysplice) points out, other FGCs have seen Top 8's with 7+ of the same character (such as with Tekken's Leroy and LabCoat21 in DBFZ). In practice, "overcentralization" means something like consistently 3+ Steves in major Top 8's. Steve is not even close to that level and arguments along other lines are either selfish and/or misguided TLDR: The reason to ban something in competitive settings is degenerate overcentralization. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the Montgomery Family Planning Clinic, she hopes to help women shape their destinies, to make their own choices for their lives and bodies.īut when her first week on the job takes her along a dusty country road to a worn-down one-room cabin, Civil is shocked to learn that her new patients, Erica and India, are children-just eleven and thirteen years old.

Inspired by true events that rocked the nation, a searing and compassionate new novel about a Black nurse in post-segregation Alabama who blows the whistle on a terrible injustice done to her patients, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wench “Deeply empathetic yet unflinching in its gaze…an unforgettable exploration of responsibility and redemption.”-Celeste Ng ![]() Winner of the 2023 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work - Fiction ![]() ![]() ![]() The story isn't so much about the invasion on June 6, it is more about the men who partook in the action. Imagine training for over two years before applying your craft and still able to maintain at a "razor's edge." ![]() Many men were broken either mentally, physically or both. The years of training was brutal and tiresome. What I enjoyed the most was the training the soldiers endured to become one of the elite. The scene is well documented in the movie "The Longest Day." Remember the famous lines, "hold until relieved?" That is exactly what these men did. The book recalls the men and eventsthat allowed the British Glider and Parachute regiment to capture the all important bridge crossing the Orne and adjacent canal in order to prevent the 21st Panzer Division from disrupting and possibly defeating the landings at Sword, Juno and Gold Beach. This isn't the greatest of Stephens Books, but it is worthy of any collector and historian. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amazing that this is still a story relevant today!

I thought I was prepared for this trip to Haiti, but ten seconds here and I’m already feeling overwhelmed. It was only a two-hour flight from Florida, but I feel like we flew straight to Africa. Hungry eyes watch us as we pass through the crowd, looking for our massive bags. They dressed us in matching, hellishly bright T-shirts so we wouldn’t lose each other in the rush of a new country.
