6/26/2023 0 Comments The she wolves of englandFormulaic phrases rang out louder than they should have when ranged against her otherwise authoritative delivery, which had no place for loose generalisations. Matilda had “lost the battle, but won the war”. “How far we’ve come, how little we’ve changed,” she said. That she carried the programme was both a boon and a drawback. With Henry II absent much of the time crusading, Eleanor ended up de facto ruler of England In a refreshingly unfussy, old-fashioned touch, Dr Castor directly addressed the camera or provided the voiceover. Snatches from historic documents were read out by other voices but there were no talking heads, another plus. Equally thankfully, purposeful striding was at a minimum – although close-ups of pounding horse’s hooves to suggest urgency were overused. But with only one contemporary image apiece for Matilda and Eleanor, visual material was lacking.įortunately, the gap wasn’t filled by clichéd set-ups of Dr Castor poring over medieval manuscripts. With an audience beyond the niches of either a history readership or gender studies, the book is a natural for television with clearly told, linear stories that resonate despite dating back at least 600 years. The programme’s sensational title was a given. She Wolves brought Castor’s book She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth to television. Herbicide use Īlthough first synthesized in 1882, paraquat's herbicidal properties were not recognized until 1955 in the Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) laboratories at Jealott's Hill. For example, Hugo Weidel's original synthesis used methyl iodide to produce the di iodide. Use of other methylating agents gives the bispyridinium with alternate counterions. This chemical is then di methylated with chloromethane to give the final product as the dichloride salt. Pyridine is coupled by treatment with sodium in ammonia followed by oxidation to give 4,4′-bipyridine. The name is derived from the para positions of the quaternary nitrogens. Paraquat may be in the form of salt with chloride or other anions quantities of the substance are sometimes expressed by cation mass alone (paraquat cation, paraquat ion). It has been linked to the development of Parkinson's disease and is banned in several countries. It is also toxic (lethal) to human beings and animals due to its redox activity, which produces superoxide anions. It is quick-acting and non-selective, killing green plant tissue on contact. This salt is one of the most widely used herbicides. It is classified as a viologen, a family of redox-active heterocycles of similar structure. Paraquat ( trivial name / ˈ p ær ə k w ɒ t/), or N, N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride ( systematic name), also known as methyl viologen, is an organic compound with the chemical formula Cl 2. During the Peloponnesian Wars, prisoners were hunted down, tortured, thrown into pits to die of thirst and starvation, and cast into the waters to drown at sea. Thucydides warns us in his histories that the longer wars go, the more violent, and less civilized they become. Prisoners were treated with respect and released. The losers were rarely, if ever, chased down and stabbed in the back. Before the Peloponnesian Wars, wars lasted only a few hours, and the losing side was treated with dignity. The Peloponnesian Wars were ugly, with both sides committing atrocities. From 431 to 404 BC the conflict escalated into what is known as the "Great War." To the Greeks, the "Great War" was a world war, not only involving much of the Greek world, but also the Macedonians, Persians, and Sicilians. Thucydides wrote a book called The History of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides was ostracized after the Spartans' decisive victory at the Battle of Amphipolis in 422 BC, where Thucydides was one of the Athenian commanders. The Athenian Thucydides is the primary source of the wars, as he fought on the side of Athens. These wars also involved most of the Greek world, because both Athens and Sparta had leagues, or alliances, which brought their allies into the wars as well. The Peloponnesian Wars were a series of conflicts between Athens and Sparta. The Peloponnesian Wars ("The Great War" 431-404 BC) Sledge’s narrative of his combat service at Peleliu and Okinawa touches upon military strategy but also includes details that the author feels historians frequently miss in their chronicling of war. After chronicling his experiences in full detail, the author concludes by commending military valor and decrying the waste that is war. Human nature and physical nature are each considered at points, as Sledge explores how warfare impacts morality as well as man’s relationship with the natural world. While recording the grueling physical details of the job, he also examines the psychological impact of warfare. Sledge notes both bravery and fear, loss and triumph. Written in a vivid and objective voice, the memoir seeks to record what the First Marine Division saw, faced, and ultimately conquered. He then vividly describes his participation in two seminal conflicts of the Pacific campaign: Peleliu and Okinawa. The book begins with the author’s experiences being trained as a new marine recruit, enduring boot camp and mortar man training. Serving in the First Marine Division, he was present at the some of the deadliest battles of that war. Sledge’s memoir recounts his experiences fighting in the South Pacific during World War II. Mizuki was one of the first manga artists-really one of the first contemporary comics artists worldwide-to use the medium to discuss “adult” topics on this scale. This is a 50th-anniversary reprint of a work only first translated into English in 2011. Throughout the book, they sing lines from a song called the “Prostitute’s Lament” popular among Japanese troops at the time: “Why am I stuck working this shitty job/no way out/all for my parents.” Hunger, malaria, and dying a virgin are the topics that preoccupy these men-boys, really. The concerns of Japan’s political establishment are never discussed, and the “clash of civilizations” discourse that dominates documentaries on the war are non-existent. Throughout Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, “a reason” is always out of reach. This is during Japan’s New Guinea campaign in 1943, which in real life took the lives of over 200,000 Japanese soldiers by the end of World War II. Such nationalist overtures, however, don’t quell the fear and hopelessness of the rank and file. Earlier, the lieutenant-colonel tries to inspire the troops by reminding them of Dai-Nanko, a 14th-century samurai who sacrificed his life on behalf of the Emperor. “We’re prob’ly going for a reason,” a private depicted in Shigeru Mizuki’s legendary war manga Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths says as his platoon is transferred from one part of New Britain (an island in Papua New Guinea) to another. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Diana casillas mariana zapataHe had a great body, as a former navy man, but he worked an understated job doing home renovations. He was described as having a face that wasn’t handsome, but was instead “interesting”. Starting Waiting for It I went in expecting more of the same. It’s not, but there were very similar comparisons made in multiple stories. I put that in quotations like it’s direct from the book. He was the one with “a face so beautiful you’d instantaneously orgasm”. Obviously that’s not as celebrity as Aiden and Rey, but what he lacked in stardom he made up for in looks. Finally, in Under Locke he’s an award winning tattoo artist. I mean, you have a football star in Wall of Winnipeg. Wait for It is my fourth read by this author, and I’d started feeling every male love interest was going to be over the top special. I start to feel like something’s gotten repetitive, and she throws me for a loop. I swear, I’m starting to think there isn’t a bad Mariana Zapata book. 6/24/2023 0 Comments Suniti namjoshi feminist fablesHer first book, Feminist Fables (1981), prised apart old fables and myths and turned them into sharp, jewel-like stories, which glinted with a wicked wit and mocked the absurdities of an unequal world. Namjoshi is a fabulist with a difference her brilliant, playful and subversive work is impossible to stuff inside a box of didacticism. It is a cloudy Bengaluru afternoon, and the UK-based writer is in the country on a private visit. Suniti Namjoshi is a fabulist with a difference her brilliant, playful and subversive work is impossible to stuff inside a box of didacticism.įABLES ARE the first stories many children hear - tales of talking animals that optimistically hope to make right and wrong appear as simple as the simplest aphorism.Ĭan they change the way children think? “Can stories change anything? I am not sure.” The voice of scepticism belongs to poet and rewriter of fables, Suniti Namjoshi. Eventually, wayward mother and daughter reunite, but not before unfortunate (and implausibly wrapped-up) lessons are learned on both ends. While Tessa's clandestine relationship may initially seem deliciously rebellious and romantic to some, things quickly spiral out of control, both for Tessa and her mother, whose sexual connection to the guru is revealed. Many of her descriptions of communal life border on the clich : waifish, beatific followers in flowing skirts and white robes, chanting sessions, daily seva ("selfless service," aka chores), a lecherous TV-watching guru, and touchy-feely mantras about surrendering desires and "Purity of Being." But 14-year-old Tessa's flight from her mother, who is desperate for a spiritual makeover, despite Tessa's misery on the commune, and into the willing arms of Colin, a 20-year-old who fixes broken VW buses on the ashram, strikes a nerve. As in her debut, she sets her sights on a fringe community-this time, a hippie cult-and catalogs life there, with mixed results.
