She dared to glance up, a building with adjoining pathways just overhead, and didn’t lose her balance, slowly gliding through the passage, moving aside for another, nodding back, and came into Miya where Lai’s building dominated, an immense icosahedron on the opposite upside-down side, surrounded by strips of metallic-anorthite, a confusion of bands, rings in every direction, the top brightly lit, a railing there like a crow’s nest or point to a spinning top.

“She hand-painted an adorable baby with the same ruddy blond hair and sky-blue eyes of my beautiful brand-new son,” wrote Rheinheimer. “She painted his name, that of my late father’s, and added the year of his birth.

My environmental control module was wired incorrectly at install and caused half my lights and blackout curtains to open at odd times of the day and night—not ideal for our short-day plants. When the electricians admitted no fault, I acquired a more experienced outfit. In fact, three electricians tried their hands at control room wiring before it worked as intended.

The actor’s talent for showcasing what makes humans tick really shines through in the complex roles she chooses to bring to life on screen. Her first major role was in Paper Towns (the movie adaptation of John Green’s best-selling novel of the same name) playing Angela, the girlfriend of Radar, one of the main characters.

Legendary Afghan “Primo” was created by sieving crushed dry cannabis flowers—a technique well-adapted to the arid and often cold climates along the temperate southwestern fringe of Central Asia. During the 1960s and ’70s, many adventurous wanderers passed through Afghanistan as they followed the “Hippie Trail” from Europe to India. By the time Westerners reached the region, landrace hashish varieties had been grown and processed with traditional techniques for generations, and both the farmers and their crops were well adapted to the arid, alpine conditions.

Portman’s awakening this deep into her career includes learning new truths about herself. I cite to Portman her acceptance speech for the 2011 Golden Globe for best actress in a feature film. While thanking Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, Portman recalled how on set, Aronofsky would say, “Now do this one for yourself.” “It was a turning point for me personally,” says Portman. “That film is about a girl trying to please others and ends up figuring out how to make pleasure for herself.
