The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore

The Curies’ newly discovered element of radium makes gleaming headlines across the nation as the fresh face of beauty, and wonder drug of the medical community. From body lotion to tonic water, the popular new element shines bright in the otherwise dark years of the First World War.

Meanwhile, hundreds of girls toil amidst the glowing dust of the radium-dial factories. The glittering chemical covers their bodies from head to toe; they light up the night like industrious fireflies. With such a coveted job, these “shining girls” are the luckiest alive—until they begin to fall mysteriously ill.

But the factories that once offered golden opportunities are now ignoring all claims of the gruesome side effects, and the women’s cries of corruption. And as the fatal poison of the radium takes hold, the brave shining girls find themselves embroiled in one of the biggest scandals of America’s early 20th century, and in a groundbreaking battle for workers’ rights that will echo for centuries to come.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them – setting three lives across centuries on a collision course.

Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.

Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary’s register.

One cold February evening in 1791, at the back of a dark London alley in a hidden apothecary shop, Nella awaits her newest customer. Once a respected healer, Nella now uses her knowledge for a darker purpose – selling well-disguised poisons to desperate women who would kill to be free of the men in their lives. But when he new patron turns out to be a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, an unexpected friendship sets in motion a string of events that jeopardizes Nella’s world and threatens to expose the many women whose names are written in her register.

In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husband’s infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she can’t resist investigating, only to realize she’s found a link to the unsolved “apothecary murders” that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search, Caroline’s life collides with Nella’s and Elizas in a stunning twist of fate – and not everyone will survive.

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn’t matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.

When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it’s to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister’s death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected—she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpic unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.

To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way—and stop more girls from being sacrificed.

Artemis by Andy Weir

Jazz Bashara is a criminal.

Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you’re not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you’ve got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she’s stepped squarely into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

An epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic.

When Rin aced the Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe an orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite military school in Nikan—was even more surprising.

But surprises aren’t always good.

Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.

For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…

Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity…and that it may already be too late.

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who’s ever been chosen.

That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right.

Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here – it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.

Carry On – The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.

Here, The World Entire by Anwen Kya Hayward

After being accused of desecrating Athena’s temple and subsequently cursed with monstrousness, Medusa lives alone on the outskirts of the world, secluding herself from everyone so as to keep both herself and the rest of the world safe. When Perseus comes to ask for her help, Medusa tries desperately to make him leave, but no matter what she does, Perseus stays. As the days wear on and she reveals more about the events that led her to the cave, it becomes obvious that there is a choice to make: stay safe and alone, or re-enter the world with Perseus. One question still remains, however: what does Perseus want?

The Challenge was a series III episode of Yes Minister (1982), in which Jim Hacker’s Department of Administrative Affairs assumes general oversight of local authorities. As Ludovic Kennedy (playing himself as BBC interviewer) points out, Hacker is now ‘Mr Townhall as well as Mr Whitehall’.

Echoing the Thatcher government’s zeal to reform the local government sector, Hacker is determined to make councils more efficient and to curb their extravagance. The Cabinet Secretary and Sir Humphrey are not so keen, worried that any reforms, such as direct financial accountability for the success or failure of council projects, could be extended to the civil service as a whole.

To deflect his attention, Jim Hacker is urged to tackle the largely ridiculed and tricky business of civil defence, in particular the provision of public fall-out shelters by local authorities, and is sent to confront the leader of the London Borough of Thames Marsh, Ben Stanley, over their anti-nuclear activism and budget blowouts. Stanley was reportedly based on Ken Livingstone, leader of the ill-fated Greater London Council.

There are a couple of interesting cameos, aside from Ludovic Kennedy, and Moray Watson as a BBC controller. Ian Lavender (Private Pike from Dad’s Army) plays Dr Cartwright, a departmental economics boffin doomed to spend his entire career as a middling undersecretary. “I fear I shall rise no higher,” he explained sadly to Jim Hacker, “Alas, I’m an expert.”

Ben Stanley, the unilateralist leader of Thames Marsh Council is played by Doug Fisher (Man About the House), and is unimpressed by Cartwright’s suggestions on how to save ratepayers' money, which include closing the feminist drama centre, abandoning plans for a leisure centre featuring an artificial ski slope and jacuzzi, closing the gay bereavement centre, selling the Mayor’s second Daimler, and cancelling a councillors’ fact-finding junket to the Caribbean.

The episode lampoons the council’s hypocrisy in taking an anti-nuclear stance while providing fall-out shelter space solely for the leader and some senior councillors. Paul Eddington himself (Jim Hacker) was a Quaker pacifist, and in a later interview recalled that he was very uncomfortable with the way the writers (Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn) had ridiculed the anti-nuclear issue and peace activism, and that they had allowed their own political bias to influence the story. Eddington objected, and some moderating changes were made to the final script.

Whitechapel series 3 press pack

Whitechapel – Real life cases highlighted by Buchan in the series

Story 1

Ratcliffe Highway Murders The Ratcliffe Highway murders were two vicious attacks that resulted in multiple fatalities, and occurred over twelve days in the year 1811, in homes half a mile apart near Wapping in London.

The first attack took place on 7th December 1811 at a home behind a linen draper’s shop on Ratcliffe Highway (now called The Highway). The victims were Timothy Marr (a 24 year old linen draper and hosier), his wife Celia, their 3-month-old son Timothy and James Gowen, their shop boy. Margaret Jewell, a servant of the Marrs, had been sent to purchase oysters, and subsequently escaped. The murder caused the government to offer a reward of 500 guineas for the apprehension of the perpetrator.

Twelve days later on the 19th December, the second attack happened at The Kings Arms in New Gravel Lane (now Garnet street). The victims were John Williamson, 56 year old publican who had been at the Kings Arms for 15 years, his 60 year old wife Elizabeth and Bridget Anna Harrington in her late 50's, a servant. Williamson's 14-year-old granddaughter, Catherine (Kitty) Stillwell, slept through the incident and was thus not discovered. John Turner, a lodger and journeyman, discovered the murders and escaped out of an upper window, using a knotted sheet to climb down to the street below.

A principal suspect in the murders, John Williams (also known as Murphy), was a lodger at the nearby Pear Tree public house in Old Wapping. He was a 27-year-old Scottish or Irish seaman. He had nursed a grievance against Marr from when they were shipmates, but the subsequent murders at the Kings Arms remain unexplained. Williams was arrested, but committed suicide by hanging himself in prison; he was buried with a stake through his heart at the junction of Commercial Road and Cannon Street Road.

Charles Manson, 1969, Sharon Tate On the night of August 8, Manson directed Charles Watson to take Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to "that house where Melcher used to live" and "totally destroy everyone in [it], as gruesome as you can." He told the women to do as Watson would instruct them. The current occupants of the house, all of whom were strangers to the Manson followers, were movie actress Sharon Tate, wife of famed director Roman Polanski and eight and a half months pregnant; her friend and former lover, hairstylist Jay Sebring; Polanski's friend and aspiring screenwriter Wojciech Frykowski, and Frykowski’s lover Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folger coffee fortune. Tate's husband, Polanski, was in London working on a film project; Tate had been visiting with him and had returned to the United States only three weeks earlier.

Richard Farley Richard Farley is an American convicted mass murderer. A former employee of Electromagnetic Systems Labs (ESL) in Sunnyvale, California, he stalked co-worker Laura Black for four years beginning in 1984. Black obtained a temporary restraining order against him on February 2, 1988, with a court date set for February 17, 1988 to make the order permanent. On February 16, 1988, Farley shot and killed seven people at ESL and wounded four others, including Black. He was convicted of seven counts of first degree murder, and is currently sitting on death row at San Quentin.

Story 2

The Thames Torso mystersties of 1887-1889 The Whitehall Mystery is an unsolved murder from London in 1888. The dismembered remains of a woman were found at three different sites in central London, including the future site of Scotland Yard. Newspapers suggested a tie to Jack the Ripper's killings of prostitutes that were occurring simultaneously, but the Metropolitan Police said there was no connection.

Mary Ann Cotton Born Mary Ann Robson in October 1832 in Low Moorsley, County Durham, she died 24 March 1873. She was an English woman convicted of murdering her husband and children and is believed to have murdered up to 21 people, mainly by arsenic poisoning.

Mary Wilson Killed four lovers with phosphorus and claimed they took it in‘sexual stimulation pills’s

Mary Wilson (c. 1893 - 1963) also known as the Merry widow of Windy Nook, was a serial killer and the last woman to be sentenced to death in Durham, in 1958. However the sentence was not carried out as it was commuted to a prison sentence.

An exhumation of the bodies of her last two husbands revealed high levels of phosphorus. Her defense claimed the substance was contained in their medication. Wilson was convicted of murdering two of her four husbands with beetle poison in 1956 and 1957. The remains of her earlier two husbands were exhumed at a later date and pointed to the same cause of death.

Dr Crippen Dr. Crippen, was an American homeopathic physician hanged in Pentonville Prison, London, on 23 November 1910, for the murder of his wife, Cora Henrietta Crippen. A theory, which was first propounded by Edward Marshall Hall, was that Crippen was using hyoscine on his wife as a depressant or an aphrodisiac but accidentally gave her an overdose and then panicked when she died.

The Lonely heart Killers Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, who met after Beck placed a lonely-hearts ad, became known as "The Lonely Hearts Killers" after their arrest and trial for serial murder in 1949. Between 1947 and 1949 they are believed to have killed as many as twenty women.

The Black Eyed Borgia and her Playboy lover Mary Frances Creighton and Everett Appelgate, both convicted and executed for the murder of Ada Creighton (Appelgate’s wife) from arsenic poisoning.

H.H.Holmes (May 16, 1861[1] – May 7, 1896), better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. In Chicago at the time of the 1893 World's Fair, Holmes opened a hotel which he had designed and built for himself specifically with murder in mind, and which was the location of many of his murders. While he confessed to 27 murders, of which nine were confirmed, his actual body count could be as high as 250. He took an unknown number of his victims from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which was less than 2 miles away from his "World's Fair" hotel.

Marquis de Sade An episode in Marseille, in 1772, involved the non-lethal poisoning of prostitutes with the supposed aphrodisiac Spanish fly and sodomy with his manservant Latour. That year the two men were sentenced to death in absentia for sodomy and said poisoning.

Thomas Huskey, 1999 Knoxville, Tennessee Accused killer of 4 women in Tennessee. Nicknamed the "Zoo Man", Huskey worked at the Knoxville Zoo and allegedly took his victims here. He talked of ‘Kyle’, a separate, darker personality that was responsible for a series of murders.

Arthur Ford, 1954 Arthur Ford became infatuated with a woman called Betty Grant who worked in his office on Euston Road. He bought a coconut nice for both Betty and a friend that he had laced with cantharidin; both died after eating it.

Story 3

Bogeyman A bogeyman is an amorphous imaginary being used by adults to frighten children into compliant behaviour. The monster has no specific appearance, and conceptions about it can vary drastically from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he has no set appearance in the mind of an adult or child, but is simply a non-specific embodiment of terror. Parents may tell their children that if they misbehave, the bogeyman will get them. Bogeymen may target a specific mischief — for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs — or general misbehavior, depending on what purpose needs serving. In some cases, the bogeyman is a nickname for the devil.

Zodiac Killer Masked serial killer in California in 1960s/1970s who said that ‘hunting humans was the most exciting of all sports’

The Phantom US, 1940s. Killed on full moons, wore a white mask and attacked eight by the light of the moon. Of whom the sheriff said “no one sees him, no one hears him in time.”

Robert Williams The case of the man who killed a girl in Hyde Park in 1928. The man claimed that the film ‘London After Midnight’ sent him insane, and that he saw Lon Chaney in the park, forcing him to murder the girl with a razor.

Scared to death In 1840, Sir Robert Warboys had heard of a tale of a parlour maid who had seen the spectral presence and had been driven insane. He wanted to disprove the haunting, and armed with a shotgun, went to spend the night in the attic room. The house was woken at midnight when a shot rang out. They found Warboys dead from fright.

Then in 1878, Lord Lyttleton stayed the night. He loaded his gun with silver sixpennies said to ward off evil. For him it worked and he survived to tell the tale.

Couple on a spree together – Caril Ann Fugate and Charles Starkweather. Nebraska, 1957. Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. They killed 11 in all. Including her parents and two year old sister. She was only 14 at the time. Nobody knows how many she killed. She said she was held hostage by Starkweather. He said she was a willing participant. He was executed in 1959. She was paroled in 1976. And to this day she has never spoken of the murders, so no one knows how involved she really was.

Tsuyama Massacre The Tsuyama massacre was a spree killing that occurred on 21 May 1938 in the rural village of Kaio close to Tsuyama city in Okayama, Japan. Mutsuo Toi, a 21-year-old man, killed 30 people, including his grandmother, with a shotgun, Japanese sword, and axe, and seriously injured three others before killing himself with the shotgun.

My version of That 90s Show, if my verse didn't exist.

First, I'm setting the show in 1998. It pays homage to the OG show's start date, and it makes logistical sense. Betsy exists, and Jay is Kelso and Brooke's son. Plus, they missed a great opportunity to include younger siblings for both realism and comic relief (so no more Kitty as weird comic relief, eww).

Characters I'm keeping:

Gwen Marie Runck (born May 31, 1983: ESTP, 7w8): No significant changes, other than the hc that she's bi.

Nicole "Nikki" Maria Garcia (born November 10, 1982; ISTJ, 6w5): No significant changes, other than Nate and Nikki never dating, and the lore I've personally established (aka, being Buddy's niece).

Altering:

Lucy Katherine Forman (born July 19, 1983. INFJ, 4w5. Played by Raegan Revord): Named after Eric's favorite Star Wars protagonist, Lucy was an unexpected light in Eric and Donna's lives. She's smart, snarky, and craves adventure, even though she can be a bit of a starry-eyed idealist and a goody two shoes. She loves music, the oboe, books, the debate team, and is fairly politically minded. She may be a bit awkward, but she has a big heart.

She hasn't seen Jay since last summer, and he's certainly grown up, that's for sure. Her intense crush begins, minus the weird kissing frenzy at the mall, but she also has feelings for the girl next door...

John "Jay" Michael Kelso (born April 2, 1982. ISFP, 6w7. Played by Dylan Kingwell): Kelso and Brooke's son. Based on Jay's original description. He always has a video camera in his hand, with an artsy but vaguely pretentious aura, but he always has his heart on his sleeve. He gets straight As in school, and is smart like his mother, but can be a goofy flirt like his dad. Well, he tries to be.

Nathan "Nate" Casey Kelso (born December 8, 1981. ESFJ, 6w7): Casey and Sherri's son. He's a loveable goofball and a passionate football player. He's super close to his cousin Jay, but in a far less cringey way. Oh, and the random Nate and Leia plot twist doesn't happen here.

Removing:

Oscar "Ozzie" Chen: He's a walking stereotype, so bye.

Adding (main):

William "Will" James Hyde (born September 8, 1983. ESFP, 2w3. Played by Noah Jupe): A chill version of his mom Jackie, he's firmly in the closet. He's a popular football player, and him possibly coming out as gay terrifies him. He wouldn't be accepted by his peers, and it fucking sucks.

Also adding (recurring):

Elizabeth "Betsy" Victoria Kelso (born January 15, 1979. INTP, 6w5. Played by a young Minka Kelly): Kelso and Brooke's smart, scheming daughter. She often puts her nose where it doesn't belong.

Sarah Michelle Kelso (born March 16, 1985. ESFP, 7w6. Played by Julia Butters): Kelso and Brooke's ditzy but sweet daughter. She's close to Lauren, and has a crush on Nic Hyde.

Dominic "Nic" Steven Hyde (born April 21, 1985. ESTP, 7w8. Played by Mason Thames): Jackie and Hyde's loud, wild child son. Named after both Donna and Eric. He's always getting into trouble, often with Sarah and Lauren by his side.

Lauren Anne Forman (born February 12, 1986. ISTP, 6w5. Played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong): Eric and Donna's snarky, athletic daughter. Named after her Aunt Laurie. A firm tomboy, she'd much rather be playing basketball or fixing cars with grandpa Red than any of the girly crap most other girls like. She's already on the JV basketball team, and has her mother's jump shot (and her dad's last name). Also has a crush on Nic.

#that 70s show #that 90s show #eric and donna #jackie and hyde #kelso and brooke #jay kelso #gwen runck #nikki garcia #nate runck #lucy forman #will hyde #nic hyde #sarah kelso #lauren forman #my essays #take it with credit #i have nothing against leia other than her name but i wanted a character with a significant dose of donna instead of being 85 percent eric

First day of the HTTYD live action shoot…

Also I’m not sure if Mason and Nico are actually in costume or if they’re just hanging about but if those robes are merely covering costumes then it looks like Nico isn’t wearing a blonde wig and has a lot of braids, which is cool!

(Dean’s post was liked by both Jay and America, which is cute)

John Mayer at the 606 Club

Friday 27th October 2023. Doors at 7PM.

Blues megastar John Mayer has just announced a surprise last minute gig at the 606 Club. Taking a one-day break from his tour of the US, Mayer is going solo for a Songwriting masterclass and intimate acoustic set at the 175 capacity venue that is the 606.

Over the course of the night, Mayer will be taking us on a trip through his career. Breaking down the writing process of the songs that shot him up to superstardom like ‘Neon’ and ‘Your body is a wonderland’. He will then divulge how he managed to keep topping charts with hits like ‘Gravity’ and ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and end with tunes off his latest albums like ‘Last Train Home’ and even an unreleased song ‘Drifting’ (a song, fittingly, about his journey through music and the nostalgia he has for the old days).

Mayer’s style of music will be a welcome addition to the prestigious roster of artists to grace the stage at the 606; A quaint music venue specialising in Jazz and Blues. Located just off the Thames riverbank in Chelsea. Just a short hop from the Fulham Broadway tube station. The Venue will provide a personal experience as the audience are up close to Mayer.

NME has said “The main ingredient of his success is his audacious confidence and creative daredevilry” and this is shown best in his discography. His eclectic set varies in style from soft country in songs like ‘Who Says’ and ‘Stop this Train’, to rock and blues in songs like ‘Last Train Home’ and ‘Bold as Love’. The latter being a masterful cover of Jimi Hendrix’s hit song of the same name. There is certainly something for everyone.

Singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist. A John Mayer masterclass is absolutely not one to miss. Starting his musical journey when he was 13, Mayer’s rise to fame has been well earned. Just a quick look at his music will convey all the talent that Mayer is capable of. It’s no wonder then that Mayer has performed over the years with Legends like Eric Clapton, BB King to modern musicians like Jay-Z and Taylor Swift. And with 7 Grammy awards to his name, It’s easy to see why.

It goes without saying then, that Mayer is excited to play in a small venue once again. He has been quoted as saying: ‘It will serve as a positive reminder of my roots when I started over 20 years ago’.
