![]() ![]() I gather Raine was in the 'Call The Midwife' before this well, that explains her flat interpretation of what should be a winning Agatha Christie character. And as for Jessica Raine: I had never seen the actress before, but she plays the role like she is in a safe, pleasant, 'feel-good' little evening drama like 'The Royal' or 'Heartbeat' concentrating upon her character being all cutesy twee 1950s prettiness rather than a real person. David Walliams seems lethargic almost to the point of depression. ![]() I think it was a case of miscasting, not just of the 2 actors individually, but as a pair. There is NO chemistry between the 2 leads. As this turgid new series is, simply, uninspired & uninspiring. ![]() The tag line to this series – rather than "Sometimes a marriage needs an adventure" – should more rightly be "Sometimes a VIEWER needs an adventure". ![]()

![]() In addition, one stanza relates that the dwarfs were given life by the gods from Ymir's flesh and blood (or the Earth and sea). The grandsons of Búri, the gods Odin, Vili and Vé, fashioned the Earth (elsewhere personified as a goddess, Jörð) from his flesh, from his blood the ocean, from his bones the mountains, from his hair the trees, from his brains the clouds, from his skull the heavens, and from his eyebrows the middle realm in which mankind lives, Midgard. Ymir gave birth to a male and female from his armpits, and his legs together begat a six-headed being. ![]() ![]() Taken together, several stanzas from four poems collected in the Poetic Edda refer to Ymir as a primeval being who was born from Eitr, yeasty venom that dripped from the icy rivers called the Élivágar, and lived in the grassless void of Ginnungagap. Ymir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional material, in the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, and in the poetry of skalds. ![]() In Norse mythology, Ymir ( / ˈ iː m ɪər/), also called Aurgelmir, Brimir, or Bláinn, is the ancestor of all jötnar. Ymir sucks at the udder of Auðumbla as she licks Búri out of the ice in a painting by Nicolai Abildgaard, 1790. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scrutinizing these weird, wonderful, ridiculous, occasionally creepy works of art isn't gonna get old anytime soon. I can't wait to share this with my friend. We did that all the time, and I always secretly thought we were cheating. I also love how the artist encourages finding creative answers in his pictures. It's easy to see why some were left out (I mean. I cannot adequately communicate the excitement I felt when I made the discovery, because the game doesn't have the pictures for every letter. Either one of us could have beaten an inexperienced player without even looking at the pictures (and I bet I still could, for the letter P).Īnyway, I never knew until recently that the pictures for the game were taken from this book. I mean, we played this thing all the time. The Ultimate Alphabet was published in 1986 and the contest was to correctly identify all 7777 words from a 12,000-word workbook. Then cross out your common answers, and whoever has the most left wins.

From calculating university rankings or credit ratings and processing job applications, to deciding what advertising you see online or what stories appear in your Facebook news feed, algorithms play an increasingly important role in our lives. They also tend to load the dice against poor people, reinforcing inequality in society. Her main point is that predictive models are never neutral but reflect the goals and ideology of those who create them. That’s when she recognised the danger posed by mathematical models or, as she neatly terms them in this fascinating book, Weapons of Math Destruction. After a stint in academia she began working for a hedge fund (“the smuggest of the players on Wall Street”) just before the 2008 crash.
