"Chagall returned to Vitebsk in 1914, where he was caught by the outbreak of the First World War. Essentially a colourist, Chagall was interested in the Simultaneist vision of Robert Delaunay and the Luminists of the Section d'Or. His Slav Expressionism was tinged with the influence of Daumier, Jean-François Millet, the Nabis and the Fauves. He was a tenant at La Ruche, where he had Modigliani and Soutine for neighbours. Returning to Vitebsk, he became engaged to Bella Rosenfeld (whom he married twelve years later), then, in 1910, set off for Paris, 'the Mecca of art'. Very early in life he was encouraged by his mother to follow his vocation and she managed to get him into a St Petersburg art school. Born to a humble Jewish family in the ghetto of a large town in White Russia, Chagall passed a childhood steeped in Hasidic culture. "Marc Chagall: Russian-born French painter. Text from " ART20, The Thames and Hudson Multimedia Dictionary of Modern Art" See also: Marc Chagall - Online catalogue of the printed graphic work Counter-cartography can be understood as a political practice of mapping back. Therefore “commoning” cartography is an important act to question dominant power relations. They, for instance, put ownership rights and social norms in their place. Thus, maps are powerful devices in society. Cartography does not exist outside of power structures. They open space for silenced experiences, diverging views and the possibility to engage in a debate around them. Collective critical maps are created in a process of dialogical learning. They often occur as 'cartographic commissions' for activist groups or movements and create visibility for underrepresented struggles. Critical maps can, but do not have to, emerge from a collective process of creation. This tool, based on a toolkit prepared by kollektiv orangotango, contains examples of collective mapping strategies that can be used in urban political struggles, as a group reflection activity, a tool for local intervention or to build collective urban political visions. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." Indeed, plain old eating is being replaced by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Humans used to know how to eat well, he argues, but the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of food journalist Pollan's thesis.

As well as all the things that are currently going on around her on a daily basis. After leaving the camps, she still has to deal with the psychological damage of being in one of these camps and the fact that it was her parents who turned her in. Some of the kids are killed by the adults because the adults view them as a threat and are not sure what the kids will do to them. Her powers include being able to influence other people’s minds.

It’s science fiction for young adults and is a trilogy. “The Darkest Minds” is a trilogy of novels that was written by New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Bracken. The novel’s iconic opening line - “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” 1 – was born out of du Maurier’s own preoccupation with Menabilly, a country house in Cornwall, which was later the inspiration for Manderley in Rebecca. Her homesickness and her resignation about her wifely duties, together with a guilty sense of her own ineptness, were elements she included in her Gothic romance Rebecca. Du Maurier began writing it at a difficult point in her life: it was only a few years after the death of her adored father, she was pregnant with her second child and her husband, an officer in the Grenadier Guards, had been posted with his battalion. It has never gone out of print and is one of the great international bestsellers. Her novel Rebecca, published in 1938, was probably her most famous novel. Unaffected by the literary fashions of her days, she wrote simple narratives that appealed to the reader’s love of adventure, fantasy, sensuality and mystery.
