farther defence of the Methodists
|The Physical Object|
|Number of Pages||96|
The United Methodist Church is teetering on the brink of breakup after more than half the delegates at a national conference voted to maintain bans on same-sex weddings and ordination of gay clergy. The Catholic Church condones violent self-defense, yet many priests are nonviolent pacifists. Martin Luther preached total nonviolence, but, at least in the early twentieth century, Lutherans believed in violent self-defense. Wesley accepted the need for violent self-defense, but modern-day Methodists and Presbyterians are nonviolent pacifists.

That in turn influenced the creation of England’s Book of Common Prayer, which John Wesley would later adapt for his Methodist movement. United Methodists also can thank Luther for making congregational singing a regular part of worship, said the Rev. Taylor Burton-Edwards, director of worship resources at Discipleship Ministries.

Charles Yrigoyen, Jr., in his helpful book, Belief Matters (Abingdon, ), reminds us that the church’s doctrine helps us understand the biblical message in a “clearer, holistic, more organized way,” and thus we can communicate it more effectively.

Czechs in the urban environment of southern Ukraine - part I. [CZ]
Most 19th century Czech migrants to today’s Ukraine settled in the agriculturally potent western and southern regions. However, a large number of these migrants found employment also in the then developing urban centres. Odessa, now a port metropolis located in the southwestern part of Ukraine, was one of such cities wherein communities of Czech compatriots gradually established. The article considers the presence of the Czech minority in the city of Odessa, emphasizing a its communal and social life. The study also recalls probably the most important figure of Czech origin in the field of culture, the long-time chief conductor of the local city theatre orchestra and composer Josef Přibík.

Energy crisis in Ukraine [RU]
Since spring 2020, Ukraine has been shaken by an unprecedented energy crisis. The main reason is the sharp decline in electricity consumption due to all restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The generally difficult situation in the country's economy influences the situation as well. Simultaneously, there has been identified an uncontrolled increase in "green" energy sector in recent months.

Armenian Language: Armenian alphabet
Have you ever wondered about what is the language of Armenia, what language do Armenians speak? Well you just found the right article! But before diving into, let me tell you, that if you have decided to visit Armenia, you shouldn’t worry about the spoken language as Armenians speak Russian and English as well. So if you speak any of the mentioned languages you won’t face any issues. The Armenian language is an Indo-European language. Today, it is the official language of Armenia. Armenian was spoken throughout the Armenian Highlands. Now is widely spoken throughout the Armenian diaspora. Armenian language is one of the most powerful, unique and amazing languages of the world. It is no accident that Lord Byron (George Gordon Byron) a famous English poet, peer, and politician found Armenian language wonderful. Byron wrote. “Armenian is the language to speak with God. He spoke to the world in Armenian.” The fact that George Byron learned and wrote poetry in Armenian and translated ancient Armenian papers is amazing. Though Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as a state religion the majority of the population couldn’t read the Bible as there weren’t Armenian letters and the Bible was either in Greek or in Assyrian.
The Creation of Armenian Alphabet
The Armenian Alphabet was created in 405 and the creator was Mesrop Mashtots (also spelled as Mesrob Mashtots or Mesrop Mashtoc). Mashtots was the man who took the responsibility of creating the Armenian script on his shoulders. He was an early medieval linguist, theologian, and composer. He had a really good education and was fluent in Greek, Persian, Asorian and Georgian. Before inventing alphabet he would read the Bible and orally translate it into Armenian.
After creation of alphabet he had a mission to translate all the religious materials (books and papers) into Armenian, to preserve the Armenian ethnicity. Armenians desired to have the translated version of Holly Bible, so Mesrop Mashtots started the translation of Bible. Soon after inventing the alphabet, he established schools throughout Armenia where the language was taught. The Armenian alphabet starts with the letter Ա-(A), that is the first letter in the word Astvats (God in English). The last letter of alphabet is Ք (Q), that is the first letter of Qristos (Christ in English). Actually he invented 36 scripts (from ‘Ա’ to ‘Ք’) but then three more scripts were added during the Middle Ages (Եվ, Օ, Ֆ), bringing the number of letters in the present-day Armenian alphabet to 39.
The first sentence that was written in Armenian was “To know the wisdom and instruction, to understand the words of insight” (ճանաչել զիմաստութիւն եւ զխրատ, իմանալ զբանս հանճարոյ…). Mashtots is an Armenian national hero and educator. He is also known as “Mesrob The Vartabed” or “Mesrop The Vardapet” ( the word “vardapet” means an educator). Throughout all these years his great work is still alive and will continue to be an inseparable part of the Armenian identity and culture.
Historical sights related to the alphabet
Now let me tell you about the historical sights related to the alphabet. If you’ve decided to visit Armenia, there are 2 must see historical sight in Armenia related to the alphabet that I suggest you to visit.
The first one is Matenadaran – a museum of ancient manuscripts that is officially the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts; it is the world’s largest repository of Armenian manuscripts. It is located in capital city Yerevan. A monument to Mesrop Mashtots was built in front of the building, and an inscription was carved next to the wall: “To know wisdom and instruction, to understand the sayings of the mind”. As already mentioned this was the first phrase written in Armenian letters.Though the rough periods in the history of Armenians, the Armenian Apostolic Church managed to save over thirty thousand Armenian manuscripts created during the 5th-18th centuries, many of which are stored in Matenadaran and on the island of St. Lazarus in Venice today.
When it was established as a distinct institution in 1959, it had around 10,000 Armenian manuscripts and 4,000 fragments. Back then there were some one thousand manuscripts in other languages, such as Persian, Syriac, Arabic, Greek, Georgian, Russian, Hebrew, Hindi, Tamil, Latin, and other languages.
Today, the Matenadaran contains like 23,000 manuscripts. The manuscripts cover a wide array of subjects: religious and theological works, texts on history, mathematics, geography, astronomy, cosmology, philosophy, jurisprudence, medicine, astrology, music, grammar,philology, pedagogy, collections of poetry, literary texts and so on.
The second one is the Alphabet Monument that is situated in the Aragatsotn Province near the village Artashavan. There you can see the 39 stone letters of the Armenian alphabet from ‘Ա’ to ‘Ֆ’. Actually, it was given a gift of 39 giant, carved Armenian letters, strategically placed near the final resting place of the creator of alphabet. The complex also includes other monuments dedicated to the great Armenian thinkers. All the statues and letters are made of Armenian stone called ‘tufa’.
People say that Armenian sounds are hard to pronounce and the language is hard to learn. If you are inspired to learn Armenian language know that it’s hard but worth it! Besides, you are always welcome to ask for some advice to any Armenian. Locals will just be pleased to help you, indeed, teaching Armenian language is a great pleasure for every Armenian.

|Description and Photograph||
The flag of the Confederacy rose and fell in only four years. It arose over a prosperous, peaceful nation whose mothers sent their husbands and sons to die, if need be, under its folds. And die they did, from the plains of Manassas to the fields of Pennsylvania, from Shiloh to Nashville, from the Wilderness to Appomattox.
The flag the Confederacy adopted as its National Standard on March 4, 1861 was first raised on Capitol Hill in Montgomery, Alabama. The honorable Jefferson Davis, ex-U.S. Secretary of War and new president of the Confederacy, invited Letitia Christian Tyler to raise the first official flag of the new Confederacy. Miss Tyler had been born in the White House, the capitol of the United States. She was the granddaughter of ex-U.S. President John Tyler. The seven star flag Miss Tyler raised that day has come to be known as the First National Confederate Flag, or the Stars and Bars. The circle of seven stars in the canton represented the seven Southern States that had seceded up until that time: South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Lincoln’s illegal demand that the Southern States aid in subjugating her sister states forced another six states to secede. Virginia on April 17th, Arkansas, May 6th, Tennessee, May 7th, North Carolina, May 20th, Missouri, August 5th, and Kentucky on November 5th. A star was added to the flag for each new state that joined the Southern Confederacy.
The Confederate First National Flag shown here bears ten appliquéd stars on each side. This ten star pattern allows us to date its time of manufacture rather specifically. The tenth state to secede was Tennessee on May 7, 1861, followed by North Carolina, May 20, 1861. This dates the flag’s manufacture to the period between May 7th when Tennessee seceded and May 20, 1861 when North Carolina seceded.
Most Confederate First National Flags were patriotic flags; flags meant for parade and party, but this one was a military flag, and was likely one of the many flags presented to departing companies and regiments in the spring of 1861. Its 32 by 58 inch size indicates that it was probably a company flag, as regimental presentation flags tended to be larger, but not always. This flag’s recorded history shows it having been captured in August of 1862 by H. K. White.* The was displayed in H. K. White’s military outfitter store in New York until 1961 when it was purchased by Wendell Lang’s father for his own collection. Wendell Lang had it in his collection until 1990. The flag was later owned by Mike Miner who had it framed.
The flag was originally well secured to the flagstaff by ten iron tacks. When the flag was purchased by Mr. Lang, one star had been removed, presumably as a souvenir at its time of capture. A single reproduction star has been put back in its place. At the same time the flag was conserved and archivally mounted.
*Henry Kirke White, (1837-1923)
H. K. White was born in 1837. In 1855 his sister, Frances Chester White, married Marcellus Hartley. At the age of twenty-four, White enlisted in the 71st New York Volunteers and fought at First Manassas and seven days later mustered out. White then transferred to the 62nd Pennsylvania Volunteers. The 62nd spent the fall in Camp near Fort Corcoran, part of the Defenses of Washington, D.C., and spent the winter near Fall's Church, Virginia. Moving to the Virginia Peninsular in the spring, the 62nd served in the Seven Days Battles and then fought again at 2nd Manassas. According to White’s/Lang’s history the flag was captured in August of 1862; the only engagement of August that involved the 62nd was Second Manassas.
After the war, White went to work for Schuyler, Hartley and Graham and by 1868 he became the firm's warehouse manager. White continued his involvement with the military; in 1870 he became First Lieutenant of the consolidated 37th and 71st Regiments, N. G., S. N. Y., and in 1871 he participated in the suppression of the Orange riots in New York City. In 1885 he was elected Captain of the F Company in the Veteran Corps and in 1890 he was elected Colonel.
By 1905 White was in a position to purchase much of the M. Hartley Company’s stock and continue operating as H. K. White Military Goods, located at 3 Water Street, New York City. With his sons, Robert J. White (the original secretary and treasurer of the UMC Company) and Frederick R. White, and George Koerner, White’s company prospered in selling firearms and equipment, military supplies and other goods. It became known especially for its supply of surplus Civil War arms and goods. Eventually White's other son, H. K. White, Jr. joined the firm as well, and when the elder White died in 1923, his sons continued to run the business. H. K. White Military Goods continued to do business until the 1960s and became very well known among antique firearms collectors. In 1963 the company’s stock was purchased by Turner Kirkland’s Dixie Gun Works Company of Union City, Tennessee.
Henry White’s captured flag has an unbroken chain of provenance from White, to Wendell Lang, to Michael Miner, to the Michael Riemenschneider collection.
The flag is conserved, properly framed and ready to hang. The listed price includes delivery to anywhere in the lower forty-eight United States at no additional charge. It comes with Textile Preservation (Fonda Thomsen) Association examination report.


Jeffrey Bell dissects the many motivations and calculations of the Left in The Weekly Standard. A fascinating read that explains in greater detail the madness behind the sheer malevolence and contempt they hold for Sarah Palin. In one of the most fascinating paragraphs in an incredibly insightful piece, Bell addresses the unintended consequences of the vile media attacks that transformed her Wednesday night speech into must-see TV, crediting Sarah with the unique ability to acknowledge her adversaries' assaults with good humor, grace and confidence. He takes it a step further by drawing a comparison between Palin, Reagan and Roosevelt with whom she shares this gift, and then questions why it took the latter two politicians years to "earn" such animosity, while the Alaskan Governor accomplished this feat from the moment she took to the podium in Dayton:
For this quality to have even a chance to develop, there must be something real to serve as an emotional backdrop: disproportionate, crazy-seeming rage by one's political enemies. Roosevelt was on his party's national ticket five times and Reagan sought the presidency four times. Each became governor of what at the time was the nation's most populous state. It took Roosevelt and Reagan decades of national prominence and pitched ideological combat to achieve the gift of enemies like these. Yet the American left awarded Sarah Palin this gift seemingly within a microsecond of her appearance on the national stage in Dayton, Ohio. Why?
Bell goes on to describe the underpinnings of the Leftist movement in 1790's France with its drive to eliminate institutions such as marriage and family in order to achieve true "liberation." He takes us on a journey through the original feminist movement and its elevation of motherhood, and then onto Hugh Hefner, the turbulent 60's and our current PC culture. His concluding paragraph sums up in a nutshell the genesis of Leftist rage toward Governor Palin:
The simple fact of her being a pro-life married mother of five with a thriving political career was--before anything else about her was known--enough for the left and its outliers to target her for destruction. She could not be allowed to contradict symbolically one of the central narratives of the left. How galling it will be to Sarah Palin's many new enemies if she survives this assault and prevails. If she does, her success may be an important moment in the struggle to shape not just America's politics but its culture.

To celebrate the resounding critical and commercial success of the first two volumes of Ed Piskor's unprecedented history of Hip Hop, we are offering the two books in a mind-blowingly colorful slipcase, drawn and designed by the artist, featuring exclusive all-new cover art on each volume. As if that's not enough, in addition to the two books and the slipcase itself, Piskor has drawn a 24-page comic book — Hip Hop Family Tree #300 — specifically for this boxed set that elegantly reflects the confluence of hip hop and comics, which was never more apparent in the early 1990s than with the famous Spike Lee-directed Levi Jeans commercial starring Rob Liefeld, who went on to create Youngblood and co-found Image Comics, not to mention ending up on the radar of gangster rapper Eazy E. Piskor tells this story as a perfect parody/pastiche/homage to ’90s Image comics.
Vol. 2: 1981-1983
Book 2 covers the early years of 1981-1983, when Hip Hop has made a big transition from the parks and rec rooms to downtown clubs and vinyl records. The performers make moves to separate themselves from the paying customers by dressing more and more flamboyantly until a young group called RUN-DMC comes on the scene to take things back to the streets. This volume covers hits like Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock,” Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s “The Message,” and the movie Wildstyle, and introduces superstars like NWA, The Beastie Boys, Doug E Fresh, KRS One, ICE T, and early Public Enemy. Cameos by Dolemite, LL Cool J, Notorious BIG, and New Kids on the Block(?!)!


I picked up this film accidentally and almost put it back on the racks after I read that it was a musical. For all my love of Nouvelle Vague, the director Jacques Demy unfortunately did not ring a bell. Fortunately, I decided to borrow the movie from my local library and watched it.
The film started with a beautiful shot of the seaside town of Cherbourg (now known as Cherbourg-Octeville), colorful umbrellas accompanied by the pensive music of Michel Legrand. Premiére Partie: Le Départ begins with an explosion of happy music. It's November 1957 and we are introduced to 20-year-old Guy Foucher while he's working… and singing. He's a mechanic and he's not whistling a tune or singing some popular song while he's checking engines. The dialogue of the whole film is sung. Everybody is singing!
Hmmm… I'm curious and admittedly a little skeptical about the constant singing. The work day has ended. Guy and the other mechanics are washing up and talking, I mean singing- about their plans for the evening. It seems a little silly but actually they do pull it off because the acting and singing isn't overdone. A few minutes later, Guy is outside an umbrella shop where 17-year-old Geneviève Emery, played by Catherine Deneuve, runs out to throw her arms around him and sing sweetly "Mon amour, oh mon amour…". It takes less than six minutes into the movie and I'm hooked.
This movie has a lot of what I have come to love about French Cinema: lush and elegant cinematography, inventiveness, joie de vivre, elegant and stylish costumes, and interesting twists in the plot.
This film looks and sounds like a fairytale but it's a real story dealing with the difficult issues of love and overcoming difficulties. The music and the singing pulls at my heartstrings, underscoring the tenderness of the scenes of joys as well as profound disappointment and longing in the sad scenes. This film deepens my appreciation and knowledge of Nouvelle Vague as well as cute umbrellas. For language learners- the singing is an added bonus because the sung dialogue is more enunciated and slower.

Yesterday, Saturday, December 5, my book appeared in the Dutch national newspaper De Volkskrant, in the Top 10 Dutch bestsellers at bookstore De Drvkkery! With a few words from buyer Monique Eskens. Awesome!
A gripping story about loneliness and a family secret. You also learn more about the Dutch East Indies during wartime.
national Dutch newspaper AD
This book is written in a fluent style, with short chapters with a title, so you know what is to come. The reader is triggered to keep reading, as there's often a cliff-hanger at the end of the chapter. A beautiful historical piece that I highly recommend!
A very personal, romanticized story about loneliness and abandonment, which gets an extra dimension through a well-kept family secret.
national Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad
Wonderful, empathetic, revealing, perfect historiography!
Dr. Niels Wiedenhof
A beautifully told history that you will not soon forget.
For me, this book highlighted a whole new aspect of the Second World War in the Dutch East Indies.
Dido Michielsen, author of the book "Lichter dan ik [Lighter than I]"
A beautiful book written in a fascinating and moving way. It is a compelling story based on facts and written from a different perspective than the usual. Birgit was able to do this because the story is about her father, and she is very close to the main character, which has allowed her to describe things in a very personal way.
A book that makes me look at history differently. And also a personal story full of goodbyes, choices, and courage. Written in such a pleasant way that I can hardly put it down, and I can visualize it all.
This book shows how things went during the various occupations of the Dutch East Indies and their consequences for Victor and his family, even well after World War II. The use of Malay words made you think you were right there. The hardest thing perhaps was to stop reading. Sometimes it felt like I was sitting next to Victor in one of the Tjemara trees in the garden of Grand Hotel Lembang, and I could watch everyone without them noticing me.
excerpt from Hasso Hofstede's review
The story is told chronologically, and the writing style is pleasant and compelling. A glossary is included in the back, and – to top it all off – family photos have been added. I thought it was a well-balanced combination of a family story and a piece of history. I find it an excellent book that is not pessimistic despite all the losses, and I learned some too.
Today I traveled back in time. What an impressive family history! I read it in one day.
Gerda Aukes, Bookstore Den Boer, Baarn
In Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad or AD, my book in the Top Books on #3 of recommendations! #proudmoment #harpercollinsholland
Besides the Dutch paperback and e-book version of my book, there now is an audiobook available as well! So beautifully told by narrator Johannes Sneekes. Such a special experience it is to listen to a book (let alone your own book) instead of reading it! You can buy...
This positive review appeared in Dutch national newspaper NRC Handelsblad today. So happy with it!
Today the promotional tour of a month in the Netherlands for my book 'Hiding behind bamboo' came to an end, with the last visit to the bookstore Dominicanen in the city of Maastricht. Many thanks to all bookstores who were willing to receive me to sign books: Kramer...

Thousands of years.
A rich history of text.
Books make us think of libraries and quiet moments.
But why don’t books also make us think about marketing?
Books may not be the flavor of the day when it comes to advertising, but writing a book may just be one of the greatest marketing strategies ever.
1) Building Authority
What could possibly have more authority than a book? They have been the go-to source for centuries, even millennia and even now if you have penned a book, you are held in a higher regard. Anyone can write a blog post, but you have risen above the masses and actually created a whole book!
2) Integrated Marketing Tool
Books have long been a source of multiple marketing elements. Your name is on the front cover of the book, of course, and your words and inside of it, but that book is also the place where you can demonstrate ideas, techniques and display some of your very best inventions and thoughts without worrying about a two-minute time limit.
Like all marketing, the best versions are designed with the customer in mind, not your own ego, but if your book is all about ways to boost productivity and you just so happen to have some productivity tools you’ve developed over the years, why not mention them?
3) Gifting Potential
A book is substantial enough to feel valuable, even if you never read it. That is true for your clients as well. Once you have a useful book on hand, you can give it away as a gift with any number of other purchases or as an incentive for simply signing up.
It would be amazing if everyone read it and appreciated your ideas (and clever marketing angles), but even if people never open it, they still feel like they actually got something from you and that builds trust and respect.
4) Improved Audience
An audience willing to appreciate and even read a book is one that isn’t particularly fickle, and they are probably pretty educated as well. This can be a huge bonus when it comes to selling items and services to those who appreciate higher quality and long-term relationships.
While that might not be the ideal audience for every seller, it’s a more discerning crowd some are trying to reach and a book might be just the way to get there.
5) Compile Existing Elements
A book is a great way to bring a collection of posts, emails, instructions and images together in a single, cohesive way. If the thought of writing a book was intimidating, think of how many blog posts and forum responses you’ve written over the years.
Have any diagrams and product images laying around? Collect all of the pieces you already have, put them together, write the connecting elements and you’ll have a book in no time.
If you’re still not ready to commit to actually writing your own book, you can simply pay someone else to do it for you. A ghostwriter will take your ideas and instructions and turn them into a book on your behalf. This is a great way to create a book without taking the time to actually pen one yourself.
Be aware, however, that writing a book is a long-term gig in most cases and you’ll want to be sure that you have contracts in order and disclosure forms ready as well to protect your interests.
7) A Basis of Knowledge
Writing a book will not only allow you to share your knowledge with the world, but also show you where there might be holes in your own foundation. There’s nothing like starting a chapter and coming up blank to send you out for serious research and a greater understanding of your own subject matter.
8) Cover Complexities
While simple may be best in some worlds, other areas are simply too complex for a short blog post or instructional video. A book gives you chapters for outlining ideas, connecting dots and exploring ideas deeply. Having hundreds of pages available is easily the best way to cover any complex topic.
Writing a book seems daunting to most marketers. It’s time-consuming and you have to know a lot to write a lot. Perhaps for this reason books are underutilized in the world of marketing. However, a well-written book can be a huge selling point for a company and an even bigger bit of advertising for promotional materials and services.
10) Establish Dominance
When the pond is rather small, it’s pretty easy to emerge as a big fish. There seem to be fewer books out there every year, but we know that millennials are reading more than any generation before them.
That means there is an unexploited avenue available for the marketer who is willing to write the book and jump into that particular sales gap. He who does it well gets all of the bragging rights, of course.
11) Create a Lasting Presence
Websites come and go. Blogs come and go even fasters. But books tend to stick around. While e-books can be hit or miss, actually printing your book – either as a self-published piece or through a publisher and distributor – means you’re entering the world where your ideas and your words will actually last through the ages. And that’s a very humbling, and empowering, thought.
Writing a book is a daunting task. It’s not for every industry and it’s not for every marketer. But for those who are willing to take on the task and approach the challenge with the necessary enthusiasm, there are certainly rewards to be won.


Never underestimate a toddlers knowledge. They are like sponges continually absorbing everything around them and absorbing information is no exception.
"Read to your toddler" is what Childcare Professional tell us. "Read for at least 15 minutes a day."
I agree with what they say, but I also believe they should be encouraging parents and guardians to read themselves, setting examples to children. Children learn by association, so by seeing parents and guardian read ignites their own desire to follow suit. Naturally, this will create an enjoyable experience and environment for both parents and children.
Make colourful book bags for children and hang on the wall. Contrary to what some may say, you can never have too many books for children. The more variety of books for there are at home, the more stimulating the reading sessions. At fifteen months, my daughter was so engaged in reading and would pick up books more than ten times in the day!
Reading with your toddler, ensures a positive and expressive toddler. However it is important to maintain this activity throughout their young lives, including school. I dread to think how her life would be without a keen interest in books!

(JNS.org) A new book by the late Israeli statesman Shimon Peres, which delves into his perspective on pivotal moments in the Jewish state’s history, is due to be released this fall.
Peres, Israel’s ninth president and eighth prime minister, penned his final work just weeks before he died at age 93 in September 2016.
The book, “No Room for Small Dreams: Courage, Imagination and the Making of Modern Israel,” looks at the “crucial turning points in Israeli history through the prism of having been a decision maker and eyewitness,” according to Amazon. The book “explores what makes for a great leader, how to make hard choices in a climate of uncertainty and distress, the challenges of balancing principles with policies, and the liberating nature of imagination and unpredicted innovation,” the description says.
Peres's publisher, HarperCollins, said this week the book will go on sale Sept. 12.


An anthology of first-person essays which tackle rape, assault and harassment head-on, edited and with an introduction by bestselling author Roxane Gay.
Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, this anthology of first-person essays tackles rape, assault, and harassment head-on.

In this valuable and timely anthology, cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence and aggression they face, and where sexual-abuse survivors are 'routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied' for speaking out.
Highlighting the stories of well-known actors, writers and experts, as well as new voices being published for the first time, Not That Bad covers a wide range of topics and experiences, from an exploration of the rape epidemic embedded in the refugee crisis to first-person accounts of child molestation and street harrassment.
Often deeply personal and always unflinchingly honest, this provocative collection both reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting that 'not that bad' must no longer be good enough.
an important book...observationally sharp, the writing often as vivid as bruises...the voices here are clear and compelling and crushing. * Observer *
The diversity is striking - not only of perspectives, but approach, too. This is a book of testimonies, indignations, reproaches, meditations, written with poignancy and skill. * TLS *
Gay's introduction moved me to tears, as did many of the pieces contributed by household names-Gabrielle Union, Ally Sheedy-but accounts from "regular" women moved me even more. Perhaps that's the lesson we're meant to take away from Not that Bad: we're all "regular." Shocking as they are, many of these stories will be familiar to us all-and we all deserve better * Glamour *
The lauded social critic and provocateur curates a diverse and unvarnished collection of personal essays reckoning with the experiences and systemic dysfunction that produced #MeToo. * O: The Oprah Magazine *
an unflinching look at the world and the way in which women are treated...In this potent book, these are the stories that need to be heard; these are the stories that will make change happen. * Emerald Street *
Full of spectacular writing from both established and emerging voices. * Elle *

Rusheens. Co. Roscommon. Republic of Ireland. 08/21/2015
Two bachelor brothers who own and run the family farm mending fences .
From the book The Republic (Allen Lane, 2016) Seamus Murphy's personal and immediate look at his native Ireland on the eve of the 100th anniversary of its revolutionary Easter Rising, which paved the way for independence for the south of the island, the Republic of Ireland.


I m not one to jump on the bandwagon but I believe today is an exception. I am a fan of Chinua Achebe. He was in my opinion the Grandfather of the Nigerian Literary Renaissance. I say renaissance which connotes a rebirth because I firmly believe he was first and foremost a storyteller of the ilk of men and women of Nigerian and African past who told stories around the fire. You see we had always told stories in Africa despite what the colonialists might have thought. We passed down our stories in a rich oral tradition, it was a tradition I believe Chinua was a child of. He wrote in a style that once could almost imagine that he was hearing his voice tell a story much like the tales by moonlight of our childhoods.
He inspired generations of writers after him. Heck, between you and I the only reason I ever picked up Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda was because I had heard she was the Achebe of our generation or something of the sort. Suffice to say, I was not disappointed. He explored themes of colonialism, the clash of cultures, political instability, oppression, corruption and moral decay of society. His characters were full of life and multidimensional. It was sometimes difficult to pinpoint a “good guy” and “bad guy”.
He would be most remembered for things fall apart, his blockbuster hit if there is any such accolade to accord a literary work. It was a poignant work that does highlight in my opinion the constant clash between our traditions, cultures and values and what can be described as western traditions, cultures and values. It is highlights what perhaps was the beginning of the Jesus-ification and Mohammed-ization of our people and the alacrity and vigor with which our people accepted these religions. Everytime I have read it, I think of how anything “traditional” has come to be viewed with disdain in contemporary Nigerian and perhaps African culture. The “white man” brought a culture of self-hate all in the name of a resurrected God while preaching love. The contradictions of the beliefs of the contemporary African man and woman make for a fascinating study and his book alludes to this clash of cultures.
No longer at ease, Man of the People, Anthills of the Savannah, Arrow of God and of course There was a Country are his other books that I have read. The man was simply brilliant. I read there was a country with an open mind and frankly I believe he wrote it as he saw it, nothing controversial and history seems to back most of the story. Many of the things he talked about in his books, be they corruption be they the replacement of white colonial masters with black ones who steal and lot and deceive their people all in the name of power and wealth are still happening today.
Chinua Achebe was more than just a story teller, he was a true Nigerian, he was a prophet. His books could have easily been written today as they were written decades ago. Nigeria is still suffering, people are hungry, dying while the elite (perhaps I included), feast and make merry. In a country of “as long as doesnt affect someone I know” mentality, Achebe was a true patriot who recognized the realities and differences we have as a people. A true intellectual, a father, a grandfather and a literary giant.
In all the nine village Okonkwo was widely known, In all corners of the world you made us proud. Adieu Chinua. You live on through your works. If there is an afterlife, may we meet under the great palm tree in the sky and sip on the palm wine of the gods while you continue to tell me stories.

On Cyprus, Aphrodite was sometimes called Eleemon "the merciful". A male version of Aphrodite known as Aphroditus was worshipped in the city of Amathus on Cyprus. Aphrodite's main festival, the Aphrodisia , was celebrated across Greece, but particularly in Athens and Corinth. In Athens, the Aphrodisia was celebrated on the fourth day of the month of Hekatombaion in honor of Aphrodite's role in the unification of Attica.
Pausanias records that, in Sparta, Aphrodite was worshipped as Aphrodite Areia , which means "warlike". Aphrodite was the patron goddess of prostitutes of all varieties,   ranging from pornai cheap street prostitutes typically owned as slaves by wealthy pimps to hetairai expensive, well-educated hired companions, who were usually self-employed and sometimes provided sex to their customers.
Scholars in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries believed that the cult of Aphrodite may have involved ritual prostitution ,   an assumption based on ambiguous passages in certain ancient texts, particularly a fragment of a skolion by the Boeotian poet Pindar ,  which mentions prostitutes in Corinth in association with Aphrodite.
The ancient Romans identified Aphrodite with their goddess Venus ,  who was originally a goddess of agricultural fertility, vegetation, and springtime. This syncretism greatly impacted Greek worship of Aphrodite. Aphrodite is usually said to have been born near her chief center of worship, Paphos , on the island of Cyprus , which is why she is sometimes called "Cyprian", especially in the poetic works of Sappho.
However, other versions of her myth have her born near the island of Cythera , hence another of her names, "Cytherea". According to the version of her birth recounted by Hesiod in his Theogony ,   Cronus severed Uranus' genitals and threw them behind him into the sea.
In the Iliad ,  Aphrodite is described as the daughter of Zeus and Dione. Aphrodite is consistently portrayed as a nubile, infinitely desirable adult, having had no childhood.
In Book Eight of the Odyssey ,  however, the blind singer Demodocus describes Aphrodite as the wife of Hephaestus  and tells how she committed adultery with Ares during the Trojan War. Later stories were invented to explain Aphrodite's marriage to Hephaestus. In the most famous story, Zeus hastily married Aphrodite to Hephaestus in order to prevent the other gods from fighting over her.
Aphrodite is almost always accompanied by Eros , the god of lust and sexual desire. The fertility god Priapus was usually considered to be Aphrodite's son by Dionysus ,   but he was sometimes also described as her son by Hermes, Adonis, or even Zeus. The First Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite Hymn 5 , which was probably composed sometime in the mid-seventh century BC,  describes how Zeus once became annoyed with Aphrodite for causing deities to fall in love with mortals,  so he caused her to fall in love with Anchises , a handsome mortal shepherd who lived in the foothills beneath Mount Ida near the city of Troy.
Aphrodite, however, lies and tells him that she is not a goddess,  but the daughter of one of the noble families of Phrygia. After the lovemaking is complete, Aphrodite reveals her true divine form. The myth of Aphrodite and Adonis is probably derived from the ancient Sumerian legend of Inanna and Dumuzid.
Aphrodite found the baby,  and took him to the underworld to be fostered by Persephone. In different versions of the story, the boar was either sent by Ares, who was jealous that Aphrodite was spending so much time with Adonis,  or by Artemis, who wanted revenge against Aphrodite for having killed her devoted follower Hippolytus.
The myth of Adonis is associated with the festival of the Adonia , which was celebrated by Greek women every year in midsummer. In Hesiod's Works and Days , Zeus orders Aphrodite to make Pandora , the first woman, physically beautiful and sexually attractive,  so that she may become "an evil men will love to embrace".
According to one myth, Aphrodite aided Hippomenes ,   a noble youth who wished to marry Atalanta , a maiden who was renowned throughout the land for her beauty,   but who refused to marry any man unless he could outrun her in a footrace. The myth of Pygmalion is first mentioned by the third-century BC Greek writer Philostephanus of Cyrene ,   but is first recounted in detail in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Aphrodite generously rewarded those who honored her, but also punished those who disrespected her, often quite brutally. In Euripides 's tragedy Hippolytus , which was first performed at the City Dionysia in BC, Theseus's son Hippolytus worships only Artemis , the goddess of virginity, and refuses to engage in any form of sexual contact.
Glaucus of Corinth angered Aphrodite by refusing to let his horses for chariot racing mate, since doing so would hinder their speed. Aphrodite cursed her, causing her to have children by a bear.
The resulting offspring, Agrius and Oreius, were wild cannibals who incurred the hatred of Zeus. Ultimately, he transformed all the members of the family into birds of ill omen.
The myth of the Judgement of Paris is mentioned briefly in the Iliad ,  but is described in depth in an epitome of the Cypria , a lost poem of the Epic Cycle ,  which records that all the gods and goddesses as well as various mortals were invited to the marriage of Peleus and Thetis the eventual parents of Achilles.
The goddesses chose to place the matter before Zeus, who, not wanting to favor one of the goddesses, put the choice into the hands of Paris, a Trojan prince. All three goddesses were ideally beautiful and Paris could not decide between them, so they resorted to bribes. Aphrodite plays an important and active role throughout the entirety of Homer's Iliad. Aphrodite's most prominent avian symbol was the dove,  which was originally an important symbol of her Near Eastern precursor Inanna-Ishtar.
Because of her connections to the sea, Aphrodite was associated with a number of different types of water fowl ,  including swans, geese, and ducks. A scene of Aphrodite rising from the sea appears on the back of the Ludovisi Throne c. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, statues depicting Aphrodite proliferated;  many of these statues were modeled at least to some extent on Praxiteles's Aphrodite of Knidos.

Aphrodite is the central figure in Sandro Botticelli 's painting Primavera , which has been described as "one of the most written about, and most controversial paintings in the world",  and "one of the most popular paintings in Western art".

Atkinson praised it, declaring that "Mr Leighton, instead of adopting corrupt Roman notions regarding Venus such as Rubens embodied, has wisely reverted to the Greek idea of Aphrodite, a goddess worshipped, and by artists painted, as the perfection of female grace and beauty.

Lewis described an attempted reading of it as "suffocating". Aphrodite appears in Richard Garnett 's short story collection The Twilight of the Gods and Other Tales ,  in which the gods' temples have been destroyed by Christians. In the early twentieth century, stories of Aphrodite were used by feminist poets,  such as Amy Lowell and Alicia Ostriker.
A Memoir of the Senses in , the name "Aphrodite" has been used as a title for dozens of books dealing with all topics even superficially connected to her domain. In , Gleb Botkin , a Russian immigrant to the United States, founded the Church of Aphrodite , a Neopagan religion centered around the worship of a Mother Goddess , whom its practitioners identified as Aphrodite.
Aphrodite is a major deity in Wicca ,   a contemporary nature-based syncretic Neopagan religion. The statuette portrays Aphrodite on the point of untying the laces of the sandal on her left foot, under which a small Eros squats, touching the sole of her shoe with his right hand.
The Goddess is leaning with her left arm the hand is missing against a figure of Priapus standing, naked and bearded, positioned on a small cylindrical altar while, next to her left thigh, there is a tree trunk over which the garment of the Goddess is folded. Aphrodite, almost completely naked, wears only a sort of costume, consisting of a corset held up by two pairs of straps and two short sleeves on the upper part of her arm, from which a long chain leads to her hips and forms a star-shaped motif at the level of her navel.
Traces of the red paint are evident on the tree trunk, on the short curly hair gathered back in a bun and on the lips of the Goddess, as well as on the heads of Priapus and the Eros. An interesting insight into the female ornaments of Roman times, the statuette, probably imported from the area of Alexandria, reproduces with a few modifications the statuary type of Aphrodite untying her sandal, known from copies in bronze and terracotta.

The lovely Natasha is only nineteen and she was seized along with a Royal party by the Imam s followers and held to ransom against the release of the Imam's only son by the Russians.
Orphaned, she has no hope of raising a ransom and instead has reluctantly agreed to be given to the Sultan of Turkey as a wife for his vast harem in return for the release of her nine-year-old brother.
The Imam implores Lord Athelstan to escort Natasha safely to Constantinople—a favour he cannot grant lest it anger the Russians and compromise Great Britain. But then he meets her—undoubtedly the most glorious woman he has ever seen, with fire in her eyes, when he informs her that he cannot agree to Shamyl's request. Ultimately Natasha gives him no choice and, when she appears among his party in disguise, Lord Athelstan is furious. Soon their mutual hatred turns to all-consuming love—a love surely doomed by Natasha's pledge to sacrifice herself to the Sultan's harem for the sake of her brother.
She finds that he has accumulated an enormous number of debts, and to meet his creditors everything in their house, which has been in the Lester family for generations, has to be sold. Even though she has sold a great number of treasures, she is still short of money. Alnina goes round the house to see what else she can find to sell. In her mother's bedroom she sees her extraordinary and unusual wedding dress, which her father had found in China.
Exquisitely embroidered, it was decorated with diamante and many precious stones. She decides she would ask what seems to her a very large sum for it and advertises it in The Times.
They had been there several years earlier and found gold in one of the tall mountains of the Caucasus before the Duke through two unexpected deaths, succeeded to his title. William warns him that Prince Vladimir is determined to marry his daughter to an English Nobleman and it would therefore be dangerous for him to visit Tiflis in case he was forced by some means or other up the aisle with the Princess.
How the Duke concocts a plan and answers the advertisement for the wedding dress. How he finds that Alnina can speak Russian fluently. And how he begs her to go out with him to Tiflis and then encounters a different danger but a very menacing one that leads them both eventually to their hearts' desire is all told in this intriguing adventure.

It is SOV, ergative, postpositional, head-marking, and massively agglutinative. First attested in around in the Seyâhatnâme of Evliya Çelebi, it was originally spoken in the region surrounding the modern Russian city of Sochi, then in exile in north-western Turkey after the 19th-century invasion of the northern Caucasus by the Russian Empire and subsequent emigration en masse of the Ubykh nation.
Ubykh already has considerable linguistic renown for its titanic inventory of consonant phonemes comprising at least 80 segments in the only well-attested dialect , but it also demonstrates great complexity in morphology and syntax. The sketch is liberally illustrated with examples drawn mainly from 14 identified speakers, and is based upon both the published corpus and previously unpublished field recordings; many of the example sentences and one of the sample texts are published here for the first time.
It is hoped that this sketch, the first Ubykh grammar in English, will stimulate renewed interest in the language and provide a useful reference for Caucasological researchers.

The West Australian
( letters § wanews com au
by Torrance Mendez, p 73, Thursday, April 18, 2013
Don Jackson, a lay preacher and political aspirant who died on March 22, expressed a strong Christian morality in a series of letters and articles published in The West Australian
that either inspired or infuriated readers.
Nowhere was this more evident than on February 3, 1996 when he was guest columnist in a series of articles comparing evolution and creationism. Humans, he said, were created in the image of God and "the theory of evolution is nothing more than escapism from reality".
His words helped ignite what the newspaper described as "a furious debate". Within a week, The West's
mailbag overflowed with a record number of letters to the editor, many of them praising or condemning his views. In one, he was lauded for the courage of his convictions.
The next month, the retired teacher failed to win a WA Senate seat in the Federal election, as a member of the Call to Australia Party, aligned with the Christian moralist and NSW Upper House MP Fred Nile.
Undeterred, Don Jackson continued to write letters to The West
, intoning the cadence of a high churchman, reserving brimstone for questions of morality.
In January 1997, he drew at least 50 letters to the editor after telling readers that successive Federal governments had gone out of their
way to undermine Australia's Judeo-Christian heritage by embracing other cultures and religions.
Not even The West's
children's liftout, ED!, escaped his ire. "Just what is The West Australian
trying to do to our children," he asked in the edition of October 17,1998.
"Tuesday's ED! Magazine, Spellbound, was nothing less than a promotion of the occult with its witches, ghosts, black magic and demons."
When the community was outraged by the murder of an eight-year-old girl in public toilets in 2006, his letter to The West
supported capital punishment.
"We shall continue to be horrified by shocking slayings on a regular basis because murderers know their lives are protected by law," he wrote.
His letter writing often led strangers to phone him at home, supporting or abusing him, but he never responded harshly to critics.
Donald Arthur Jackson was born in East Perth on March 13, 1930, only child to Tom Jackson and his wife, Cora (Gilbert), whose family originated from Victoria. His father, a wanderer from England, served in both world wars, raising his age to fight in the trenches of World War I and lowering his years to join the RAN in World War II.
According to family lore, Tom was meant to join a mate on HMAS Sydney for its last voyage but missed the connection.
Don grew up in Perth suburbs including Mt Hawthorn and Belmont. Family recall his stories about playing in a place called Donkey's Paddock in Bassendean.
Once, he and his mates set fire to the paddock, hoping to find a lost cricket ball. A passer-by helped them extinguish it and save the neighbourhood.
[Picture] Man of letters: Don Jackson was a regular correspondent in The West Australian.
He left Perth Boys' School at 15 for office work but much preferred the year spent on an uncle's farm in
Koorda, sometimes singing hymns on the tractor.
His mother taught him to trust God and, after baptism at the Church of Christ in Maylands, he joined the youth group, enjoying the camaraderie to the extent he became an avowed Christian and yearned to be a minister.
In 1948 he joined WA Government Railways, finishing in 1955 as a train driver with a love of steam engines. By then, he had wed Faye Sloan, who was printing cheques and race books for Sands & McDougall.
In the early 1960s Don sat a course to negate his lack of a Leaving Certificate and progressed to teachers' college at Graylands.
He taught at Collier and East Hamilton Hill primary schools and the School of the Air in Derby before moving to Melbourne to train as a Church of Christ minister at the College of the Bible in Glen Iris.
But when his mother's health deteriorated after seven months, he returned to Perth, intrepidly crossing the Nullarbor in a car that broke down every day.
Don returned to teaching and was also invited to preach at Manning, which he relished, imparting his wisdom in both professions.
In 1970, he moved his family to 6ha [6 hectares] in Caversham, continuing the wine-grape production and trying his hand at growing rockmelons and watermelons, broad beans and tomatoes.
After selling the property in 1976, he and his wife bought a block in Chidlow but plans went awry because of a succession of house-sitting arrangements that lasted several years before they sold
the block still undeveloped.
Don Jackson aligned himself with Uniting Church minister and Aboriginal leader the Rev. Cedric Jacobs, who in 1986 founded the One Australia Movement to contest State elections and play wedge politics.
They formed an alliance with the Rev. Nile's Call to Australia Party with the banner, One Nation Under God, hoping to restore righteousness to parliaments.
For the past 18 years, Don Jackson and another Christian, Kal Nielson, produced an unsigned circular, Repent Australia, sent each month to churches, politicians and Christians to express concern at the direction of the country.
After ending his teaching career at 55, he showed entrepreneurial zeal when a daughter-in-law challenged him to invent a board game. The result was World Quest, a combination of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble, which once sold at Target but did not break out of the Perth market before production ceased.
He invented many card games, none of which was offered commercially. A keen monarchist, he believed the British constitution kept Australia safe from dictators.
His last church was Grace Chapel in Warwick, which is associated with Teen Challenge in which young people with drug problems enter a program in Esperance.
Don Jackson suffered multiple health ailments and died in Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. He was 83. He leaves his wife of 59 years, sons Alan and Rod and daughter Carolyn and four grandchildren.
