| sid's grandmother: Sid & Sin Collection - Book One T.K. Eldridge, This compilation includes The Chosen, and Sid & Sin 1, 2, & 3: Induction, Fae MisFortunes, & Shifter Secrets The Chosen Someone's killing witches and it's up to the Supernatural Police Department of Belle Cove to find the killer. Andre Boudreau is a star detective with a less than stellar partner in Zeke Clairmont. Both of them are shifters, so when they find another dead witch, they call in one of the department's best investigators, Amelia Fortin. Things take on a whole new level of complication when Andre meets Amelia and sparks fly. This is a prologue story to the Sid & Sin series. Induction: They weren't supposed to exist. Sidonie & Sinclair Boudreau were the offspring of a witch and a shifter. Such pairings usually resulted in death. Sid & Sin had not only survived, but thrived, and managed to sidestep the family legacy of supernatural policing. The disappearance of their parents changed everything. A cryptic message, an ancient prophecy, and a mystery to uncover in order to bring their parents home puts the twins in the crosshairs of an enemy they didn't know existed. What would you do to save those you loved? Fae MisFortunes: It's their first case. Sid & Sin are tasked to find the missing kids. Then they hear that this has happened before. To one of their family. 140 years ago. Kids with a fae bloodline are being taken, and one may be Sin's future son. How is a guy supposed to plan his future with the perfect woman when her son is missing? The twins are racing the clock to keep the past from imploding the present in this tale of old hatreds, jealousy, power, love, and the strength of family. Shifter Secrets: Sid and Sin, as usual, have a lot going on. Pranks against the shifters have escalated to vandalism, with each new incident pushing the risks higher. Old feuds are resurfacing, and when your family lives for centuries, old feuds can get very old indeed. And Grandma Fortin has given Micah and his stepson Nico a place to stay since home is where, when you show up, they have to take you in. Lovely. Sarcasm intended. Sid doesn't have time for his games, but Nico is more than willing to play. The more he's around, the harder it is to stay focused as she and Sin race the clock trying to stop the saboteur before the shifters, and every other supernatural in Belle Cove, are outed to the world, all while trying to keep the centuries-old family politics in the past where it belongs. |

| sid's grandmother: Uncommon People I Have Known Frank P. Sherwood, 2013-09-04 The title and subtitle say a great deal about the character of this book. These are stories about people who inevitably stand out in a crowd for their personal attributes, their ethical standards, the ways in which they have coped with great problems, and their remarkable achievements. Significantly, fourteen of the sixteen stories in this book are about people who have in some way contributed to better government. Several have worked directly in government, others have been teachers, and still others have found ways to make contributions. Not all the stories are about people in the U.S. The two stories from Brazil involve people who stayed at home and did their good work there; in the other two instances, already blossoming careers at home were ended by extreme governmental changes. In all cases, however, these are people who must be admired for their extreme dedication to the highest ideals of service. In effect, this book can be considered a primer on government that works. The two whose stories did not directly concern government contributed mightily to a better society. One was a highly productive author, who, in later years concentrated on children's books and wrote more than 50 of them. The other pioneered a wholly different journalistic undertaking, the city-regional magazine. Today these publications are found throughout the country and are distinguished by their design quality and their commitment to the communities they serve. |

| sid's grandmother: Trumped Francis J. Roche, 2018-01-24 In a tale of intrigue that invokes images of the Lone Ranger and Tonto and the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe, a swashbuckling, reckless and sometimes witless President Trump pilots Air Force One to Iran and North Korea where he takes out the leaders of both countries with the help of a private detective named Holmes. Returning to the White House, instead of the expected hero’s welcome, Trump finds he has been fi red because of Russia’s manipulation of America’s voting machines, on evidence which includes the following clandestine exchange between operatives known only as Sore Throat and Cough Drop: Sore Throat: “We must get our agents into Trump University’s voting machine installation and repair programs. Our graduates shall then go forth and conquer.” Cough Drop: “Can they pay the tuition?” Sore Throat: “No. There must be scholarships.” Cough Drop: “What about room and board?” Sore Throat: “Must be free as well.” Cough Drop: “Books?” Sore Throat: “Russians don’t read.” Cough Drop: “Good. We’re all set.” Sore Throat: “Wait. Russians do eat. What about a meal plan?” Cough Drop: “Done.” Trump himself then continues the discussion with Sore Throat and adds a year’s supply of Trump steaks and Trump wine to make sure the deal is sealed. After going into seclusion to collect his thoughts, Trump joins with Vladimir Putin and has an assassin kill the new president, but after a conversation with Putin, in which Putin recalls that Benjamin Franklin said that if more than one person knows a secret it’s no secret, the assassin is assassinated, leaving only Trump and Putin with knowledge of the facts. Trump then assassinates Putin, signing off with “Vlad, old boy, what Franklin actually said was that three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.” |

| sid's grandmother: Growing Up Bank Street Donna Florio, 2021-03-09 A vivid memoir of life in one of New York City’s most dynamic neighborhoods Growing Up Bank Street is an evocative, tender account of life in Greenwich Village, on a unique street that offered warmth, support, and inspiration to an adventurous and openhearted young girl. Bank Street, a short strip of elegant brownstones and humble tenements in Greenwich Village, can trace its lineage back to the yellow fever epidemics of colonial New York. In the middle of the last century, it became home to a cast of extraordinary characters whose stories intertwine in this spirited narrative. Growing up, Donna Florio had flamboyant, opera performer parents and even more free-spirited neighbors. As a child, she lived among beatniks, artists, rock musicians, social visionaries, movie stars, and gritty blue-collar workers, who imparted to her their irrepressibly eccentric life rules. The real-life Auntie Mame taught her that she is a divine flame from the universe. John Lennon, who lived down the street, was gracious when she dumped water on his head. Sex Pistols star Sid Vicious lived in the apartment next door, and his heroin overdose death came as a wake-up call during her wild twenties. An elderly Broadway dancer led by brave example as Donna helped him comfort dying Villagers in the terrifying early days of AIDS, and a reclusive writer gave her a path back from the brink when, as a witness to the attacks of 9/11, her world collapsed. These vibrant vignettes weave together a colorful coming of age tale against the backdrop of a historic, iconoclastic street whose residents have been at the heart of the American story. As Greenwich Village gentrifies and the hallmarks of its colorful past disappear, Growing Up Bank Street gives the reader a captivating glimpse of the thriving culture that once filled its storied streets. |

| sid's grandmother: Hindi Cinema and Pakistan Meenakshi Bharat, 2024-10-03 Ever since the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Mumbai-based Hindi cinema has been returning compulsively to the idea of Pakistan, sometimes as the desirable other, sometimes as the horrifying antagonist. Hindi Cinema and Pakistan traces the genesis and development of this theme in Hindi cinema in the 1950s, showcasing its relevance as a tool that both reflects and shapes how India sees its neighbour, the India–Pakistan relationship, and itself. The book is a serious, multi-platform, multi-pronged exploration of the appearances, invocations, representations and treatment of Pakistan and Pakistanis in Hindi cinema. It follows Hindi cinema’s efforts to come to terms with the ‘idea’ and ‘reality’ of Pakistan. Through in-depth analyses of the enmity and rivalry between the two subcontinental nations in Partition films, thrillers, epic war films and sports films, to screen depictions of the shared cultural past and similarities in films on cross-border love or in films that show a reaching out through humour, this book investigates the visualization of Pakistan and contextualizes these representations within the broader frameworks of India’s political, socio-cultural and popular discourse. The extensive reach of the in-depth textual analyses of Hindi cinema will make this volume interesting and valuable both to the lay reader and to researchers and academics of cultural studies, media and film studies, and the study of socio-psychological violence in media and culture. |

| sid's grandmother: Storytelling as Narrative Practice , 2019-07-08 Telling stories is one of the fundamental things we do as humans. Yet in scholarship, stories considered to be “traditional”, such as myths, folk tales, and epics, have often been analyzed separately from the narratives of personal experience that we all tell on a daily basis. In Storytelling as Narrative Practice, editors Elizabeth Falconi and Kathryn Graber argue that storytelling is best understood by erasing this analytic divide. Chapter authors carefully examine language use in-situ, drawing on in-depth knowledge gained from long-term fieldwork, to present rich and nuanced analyses of storytelling-as-narrative-practice across a diverse range of global contexts. Each chapter takes a holistic ethnographic approach to show the practices, processes, and social consequences of telling stories. |
