![]() ![]() ![]() At the end of The Pioneers Chingachgook dies and Leatherstocking ups sticks and heads west into the wilderness. In it we meet a cross-section of the settlement’s comic characters and Leatherstocking, the wizened 70-year-old who lives apart from society in a hut in the woods with his devoted Indian friend, Chingachgook, now known as ‘Indian John’, also 70 or so years old and feeling his age. The first in the series, The Pioneers, is an essentially comic novel set in a small settler village in upstate New York at Christmas 1793 and then through the year of 1794. The Last of The Mohicans is the second in James Fenimore Cooper’s series of ‘Leatherstocking’ novels, so called because they all feature the tall, honest frontiersman and friend of the Indians, Nathaniel ‘Natty’ Bumppo, also known as Leatherstocking, Hawkeye and the Deerslayer, among other nicknames. “Hold!” shrieked Cora, following wildly on his footsteps “release the child! wretch! what is’t you do?” (Chapter 17) “Never! strike if thou wilt, and complete thy revenge.” He hesitated a moment, and then catching the light and senseless form of Alice in his arms, the subtle Indian moved swiftly across the plain toward the woods. “Magua is a great chief!” returned the exulting savage, “will the dark-hair go to his tribe?” ![]() “Monster! there is blood, oceans of blood, upon thy soul thy spirit has moved this scene.” The Indian laughed tauntingly, as he held up his reeking hand, and answered: “It is red, but it comes from white veins!” ![]()

The Kerala High court in 2018 quashed the 2014 scheme. PTIīut many people remained unaware of this.Įmployees from various establishments then filed more than 50 writ petitions seeking invalidation of the 2014 amendment. The court then delivered a verdict allowing EPFO members to contribute 8.33 per cent of their actual salaries rather than 8.33 per cent of the pensionable salary (capped at Rs 15,000 per month). In August 2014, the EPS amendment raised the pensionable salary cap first pegged at Rs 5,000 a month and later Rs 6,500 per month to Rs 15,000 per month. If the employee dies, the pension continues to be paid to the employee’s nominee or heir. They can get pension from this scheme after the age of 58. Only those whose salary and dearness allowance comes to Rs 15,000 are eligible for EPS. Employees, as mentioned earlier, do not contribute to EPS. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language. ![]() His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus, and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malt A mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include The Book of Hours (1905) and The Duino Elegies (1923).

Red is optimistic and endearing and not quite what you would expect a very old tree to be. And if all you hear is the whisper of leave, don’t worry. I had no idea that only one percent of a tree is ever alive at any one time (pg 35). And it was nothing short of magic to hear a tree tell us fascinating biology facts that I had never heard before as we watched the beautiful forest go by out the window. I felt like the forest itself was talking to us as we drove under some of the biggest trees in the world. Listening to Red, the tree, tell her story made the forest around us come alive. I had no idea that Wishtree was told from the perspective of a tree. We listened to the audiobook and followed along in the book as we drove among the huge trees. It must have been fate to find Wishtree at the library right before our road trip to the Redwoods. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experiences as a wishtree are more important than ever. Along with her crow friend Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this "wishtree" watches over the neighborhood. Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"-people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. ![]() Red is an oak tree who is many rings old.

(Her kingdom had desert, palm trees etc.) maybe? Maybe not? And I love that the twins are not identical. The animation is not the best, but the content is good enough to make up for it. ![]() When you think it might drag, they speed it up instead and I really loved that. It's not super corny and each episode has some very captivating narration. It's got some twisted storytelling but I think the way that they tell the story in order to make it not so dark, works really well. ![]() ![]() ![]() At every point in his book, I find overlap with my “evolution of the cognitosphere” which I started writing about in 2012 with “ flow” as described by Tom Friedman, Eric Teller, John Seely Brown and others with the “ metaverse” of forward-looking techies and with the structured development of flow-like systems as studied and defined by world-famous scientist-thought leaders like Adrian Bejan and Alex Pentland.
