By the end of the opening episode, Dale, under the alias Lin (the name on his false passport), says: “I guess I need to be running towards something. Along the way, he meets various characters who speak in inspirational quotes, such as: “You haven’t escaped anything unless you go on to something.” It is clearly catching. Eventually he winds up in Mumbai, then called Bombay. He can’t trust the authorities, for reasons that are drip-fed throughout, so he plots a daring escape. ![]() He isn’t a grass, but the rest of the inmates think he is, so he fears for his life. It is the early 1980s and Hunnam is Dale, an inmate in an Australian prison that looks very much like an advert for Diesel jeans, or a Calvin Klein campaign – CK: Incarceration. It turns out to be a bit of a thriller, with a smattering of morality lessons, though its main moral is that if there’s any chance for star Charlie Hunnam to have a conversation after having taken off his top, or being in the process of taking it off, then yes, he will do it. I admit that I was expecting a sort of Eat Pray Love, with added hunk. ![]() S hantaram (Apple TV+) is an adaptation of Gregory David Roberts’ weighty 2003 novel of self-discovery. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, I've made friends with some of the girls, and if I can juggle Chiba's idiocy and Sumo the virgin's emotions on top of all the various kinks my customers throw at me, things will be all right.

Not by choice, I can tell you that! It started when my weirdo classmate, Chiba, tried to save me from a runaway truck and got us both killed instead. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation. *record scratch* *freeze frame on Haru Koyama getting choked by a horny naked dude* Yep, that's me. I got transported another world every otaku's wet dream, right? But women are basically powerless here, so I had to become a sex worker to survive. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the rest, erroneous statements predictably gather around Thomas Cromwell. ![]() Positive errors are few, especially if one allows that a reference to a mysterious 'day stamp' probably reflects a sub-editorial misreading of the familiar dry stamp. Inevitably, she has missed some not unimportant writings, a gap which mainly affects parts of the book that deal with matters at best marginal to the wives' tale she is poorly informed, for example, on such things as the Pilgrimage of Grace or the problems of Archbishop Cranmer. In particular, she should have been less trusting in the face of the heavily biased and often quite unreliable reports of the imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys. Lady Antonia has read widely and energetically, though not always wisely: some of the works she relies on deserve less respect than she bestows upon them. ![]() The fact that he was handsome in his youth and intelligent all his life should not disguise a horribleness which piled up corpses in his day and problems for a century after. True, the absence of an heir and the presence of rival claimants to the throne constituted a great political problem needing repeated attention, but only Henry VIII solved all his problems by killing - killing innocent wives and loyal servants - on the simple principle that the best way out of difficulties was to sacrifice scapegoats. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But a wildfire making its way across the forest adds unexpected urgency to the journey. When they decide to canoe the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate long days of leisurely paddling and picking blueberries, and nights of stargazing and reading paperback Westerns.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are exchanged through a network of tubes called tracheae. ![]() ![]() For insects, respiration is separate from the circulatory system. How are we different? Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, where oxygen is moved in the blood to muscles and tissues within a closed system. Eventually, insects release carbon dioxide as waste back into the air. Those insects that move a lot, particularly through flight, need more oxygen than sedentary insects. How are we the same? Insects get oxygen from the air to fuel muscles and tissues. In some ways, insects breathe like us and in other ways, insects breathe in a completely different way. Of course, how insects can accomplish this is complicated and full of entomological jargon. In short, most insects can survive under water (or in saturated soils) for short durations. The recent wet weather in Iowa has prompted people to ask me if insects can breathe under water. ![]() ![]() ![]() What was the point of this epilogue?

Piketty’s model does not match his data as well as he claims. ![]() However, the best critiques of Piketty have shown that most of the links in his argument are broken. He recommends punitive taxes on high incomes and wealth to prevent this scenario. He proposes a model that matches the data and uses that model to predict rising wealth inequality in the 21st century. Piketty uses data stretching back to the 18th century to describe the historical evolution of wealth and inequality. It has remained an issue in campaigns and policy debates ever since and promises to remain so through the 2016 election. President Barack Obama brought the issue to the forefront in December 2011 in a high-profile speech in Osawatomie, Kansas. It is the most talked-about and most critiqued economics book of 2014 because Piketty’s timing was perfect: He released the English edition when income inequality was being actively debated in the United States. Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is a treatise on how wealth inequality evolves in capitalistic economies. ![]() |
