In other words, Jesus’ “externals” - his body, his flesh, his human nature - will always be the same, even at the Second Coming when all things will be put right, justice will rain down on creation, and sin and death will be but a faint memory. And then that same body, in all its particularity, ascended to the right hand of God the Father: middle-eastern, Jewish, male. And then that same body, in all its particularity, was nailed to the cross, died, and rose again: middle-eastern, Jewish, male. “The Word was made flesh and dwelled among us” (John 1:14): middle-eastern, Jewish, male. The mystery and indeed the scandal of the Incarnation, the subject of Christmas and also Easter and Ascension Day, is that God took on flesh in space and time. These are touching attempts to challenge us of course, but let’s flesh this out (pun intended). We simply can’t see the truth under the skin. In a similar way, the country singer Collin Rae has a song “What if Jesus comes back like that,” and there he waxes about Jesus possibly returning as a rail-riding hobo, a poor man without a home and in deep distress and once more unrecognized. The assumption is that there is some inner spirit or true self and the body is secondary, a shell that can be discarded or, in the case of this characterization of Jesus, exchanged. The other characters in the story could not see past his “externals” (for lack of a better word) to see the truth that lay underneath his skin. The whole film hinges on no one recognizing him for who he really is. Murray Abraham (who for me will always be the Dominican Bernardo Gui from The Name of the Rose) and it’s about a stranger who wanders into a community, causes an equal balance of miracles and tensions, and turns out to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. A film was recommended to me the other day.

Winnie was very tame, and would follow soldiers around the camp. He named her Winnie and kept her by his side during the trip across the Atlantic, ending up in Salisbury, where she became an unofficial pet to the HQ unit of the Second Canadian Infantry Brigade. On the 24th of August 1914 a Canadian soldier, Lieutenant Harry Colebourn, rescued a female black bear cub. The real Winnie the Pooh on Salisbury Plain Marillier was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) post-war for this work, and for developing the adjustable cots, which allowed for a combination of both sitting and lying patients, thus improving comfort. REAL WAR HEROES FULLIn total, such trains could carry 306 lying and an average of 60 sitting patients, and between 36 and 40 medical personnel.Ī total of 12 full hospital trains were built at the Great Western Railway's Swindon Railway Workshops (Wiltshire), with many of the coaches being converted from passenger types in the coach works department, managed by Frank Marillier, who was also Chairman of the Technical Committee for Ambulance Trains in England, France, and the United States. The remaining coaches were a pharmacy and treatment car, sitting infectious car, kitchen and personnel mess car, personnel car (other ranks), brake van and store car." The following 8 coaches were 'ward cars' with 36 beds in each. No 1 coach was a brake van and lying infectious ward No 2 a staff car with lavatories, dining and sleeping rooms for sisters and medical officers and No 3 a kitchen and 'sleeping sick officers' car'. heated by steam from the engine, and fitted with electric light and fans. At the end of 1917, the general organisation of a standard train was. In ‘The Official History of the Australian Army Medical Service’ (Vol 2, pp 393-4), Colonel A G Butler notes that by the end of the war on the Western Front, " there had been specially constructed. The 3-cot system he instigated allowed stretchers to be placed directly on-board, which saved soldiers a possibly painful transition from stretcher to bed. The trains would be used in Britain, to transport casualties back from the coastal ports, or in France, to bring them from the Front to the Channel ports. REAL WAR HEROES PATCH‘Harry’ Patch now lies at peace at Monkton Combe close to his home area of Combe Down, Somerset.įrank Marillier received formal recognition for his efforts during the war towards improving hospital trains - with an OBE and a CBE. ‘Harry’ Patch now lies at peace in the English countryside that he fought to keep free, at Monkton Combe close to his home area of Combe Down, Somerset. He did, however, serve as a volunteer firefighter in World War Two, and even worked as a maintenance manager at the US army camp, helping with the preparations for D-Day. Life at the Front really did end for Harry that day, as he was invalided home to Southampton and, though he was not demobilised until the end of the war, never returned to the trenches. Harry was struck by a piece of shrapnel in the groin, and endured the agony of it being removed without anaesthetic. On the 22nd of September 1917 came the worst day of the war for Harry, the day when a shell burst over his Lewis Gun section, killing 3 of his friends. In the end the kindly bullet wasn’t needed, as by the time Harry had his gun ready the man had died, with a surprised and joyful cry of “Mother” on his lips. He did, however, stop for a young man who was lying ripped open from shoulder to waist, begging to be shot. In one of the most moving passages of his book, ‘The Last Fighting Tommy’, he recalls crawling past men crying for help all around, both English and German, without being able to stop and help them. There, he watched in horror as men from the Yorkshire and Lancashire Regiments were ordered to charge over the top into No-Man’s Land, only to be unceremoniously mown down by the enemy machine guns. Harry Patch was conscripted in October 1916, and by June 1917, aged just 19 years, he found himself on the Front at Passchendaele, serving as a Lance Corporal with the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and operating a Lewis Gun. With him died the living memories of the trenches of World War One, for he was the last survivor who served on the Western Front. On the 25th of July, 2009, Henry John ‘Harry’ Patch passed away at the age of 111.

SUBURBAN FAUX PAS SKIRT OFFLINEIt was accused that the company portrayed Asian women as “ugly” and “spooky” with “greasy hair and scary eyelids” wearing traditional Chinese clothes and holding a Dior bag.Īccording to Global Times, the fashion house said that the exhibition was not a commercial ad for the brand and that it removed all related content from both online and offline platforms. Last year in November, Dior displayed a controversial photo at its Shanghai fashion exhibition. The product is still available at other online stores but there is no acknowledgement that its design was inspired by traditional Chinese clothes.Īccording to a Global Times report, the news outlet received a response to its email to Dior which read, “Your opinion and suggestions are of great value to us as they allow us to continuously improve our customer service” and said that their message has been forwarded to the “relevant department”. However, the skirt has been removed from the shelves in Dior’s online stores in China’s mainland. The company is yet to comment on the controversy. The wraparound skirt has four slits on both of its sides and was used for horseback riding centuries ago. Demonstrators held up signs that read, “Dior, stop cultural appropriation” and “This is a traditional Chinese dress,” according to New York Post.Īccording to a South China Morning Post, Dior’s Hong Kong website has described the skirt as a “hallmark Dior silhouette, the mid-length skirt … updated with a new elegant and modern variation.” The only difference that people could spot between Dior’s so-called “rip-off” and the Chinese traditional skirt is that the former is calf-length while the original version of the skirt is floor-length.Ī post shared by 菲♡ protestors have demanded that Dior should halt all sales of the garment at its Paris store. When many details are the same, why is it shamelessly called a ‘new design’ and ‘hallmark Dior silhouette’?” The article said, “The so-called Dior silhouette is very similar to the Chinese horse-face skirt. The label’s skirt which is made of pleated fabric was slammed by an opinion piece on. Let’s take a closer look at the controversy.Ĭhinese protestors claim that the Dior skirt is a rip-off of the traditional “Mamian” or “horse-face” skirt worn in China during the Ming dynasty. The brand says that the skirt “highlights the idea of community and sisterhood in looks with a school uniform allure”. The controversial garment is a $3,800 black pleated skirt from Dior’s fall collection. They are also threatening to stage similar protests in New York and London, according to some social media posts. Students demonstrated in front of the Christian Dior store on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in the French capital. In the world of fashion, ripping-off is a grave crime and french luxury fashion house Christian Dior is guilty if the Chinese are to be believed. Dozens of students have taken to the streets in Paris to protest against Dior, accusing it of cultural appropriation and claiming it has copied a classic Chinese skirt design, dating back to the Ming dynasty.

Suburbia may be monotone, but it was a sameness to be striven toward." Historian Nell Irvin Painter points out that the conformity described in "Little Boxes" was not entirely a bad thing, indicative as it was of "a process of going to university to be doctors and lawyers and business executives" who "came out all the same" and then lived in "nice, new neighborhoods with good new schools. Here's a song that says it all in 1 + 1⁄ 2 minutes " however, according to Christopher Hitchens, satirist Tom Lehrer described "Little Boxes" as "the most sanctimonious song ever written". The effectiveness of the satire was attested to by a university professor quoted in 1964 in Time magazine as saying, "I've been lecturing my classes about middle-class conformity for a whole semester. Also a political activist, Seeger was a friend of Reynolds and, like many others in the 1960s, he used folk songs as a medium for social protest. 70 in the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1964, his sole charting single. However, Pete Seeger's 1963 rendition of the song is known internationally, and it reached No. Reynolds' version was first released on her 1967 Columbia Records album Malvina Reynolds Sings the Truth, and can also be found on the Smithsonian Folkways Records 2000 CD re-issue of Ear to the Ground. When Time magazine (I think, maybe Newsweek) wanted a photo of her pointing to the very place, she couldn't find those houses because so many more had been built around them that the hillsides were totally covered. She asked my dad to take the wheel, and she wrote it on the way to the gathering in La Honda where she was going to sing for the Friends Committee on Legislation. My mother and father were driving South from San Francisco through Daly City when my mom got the idea for the song. Nancy Reynolds, her daughter, explained that her mother wrote the song after seeing the housing developments around Daly City, California, built in the post-war era by Henry Doelger, particularly the neighborhoods of Southern Hills on San Bruno Mountain. Reynolds was a folk singer-songwriter and political activist in the 1960s and 1970s.
Sustainable energy projects will cost the company way too much money. I mask my low self-esteem with corporate buzzwords like "vibrant", "robust", "core competency", "optics", "sustainability". You want to know how I tolerate this place? Here's a little secret: I don't like working here, I love it. You feel trapped? Alone? Powerless? Have your doctor write you another prescription. Thus, your cubicle takes away your community and privacy, zero dignity. At the same time, it deprives you the privacy of a real office. Even this cubicle was designed to break you down by separating you from your fellows. I want you in a depressed hell where you won't ask for anything. Parasites are survivors, and they will outlive most species in the impending mass extinction. What's that? I'm a parasite? Of course I am. I simply sit back, and wait for someone else to create something, then, I steal it. Which means I create nothing new, and I'm proud of it. They can't even protect their own intellectual property. It's been heaven corporate mergers, less government restrictions. So, how long have you been sitting there? Over ten years, and in that time, nothing has changed except you've gotten weaker, and I've gotten stronger. Didn't you get the memo? Here's a fun fact: memos are not created to inform the recipient. While in the original he was simply a Jerkass, the new speech goes on an Overly Long Gag:
We are all lucky to take part in this amazing hobby, so please join us in congratulating all of the hard work that went into bringing us some excitement to put on our shelves! It’s probably safe to say that we all wanted to go light-speed to 2021! But, now, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and its time once again to celebrate the statue collecting hobby!ĭespite the monumental challenges, the good people of our hobby managed to make this a memorable year on the collecting front. The statue and collectibles industry is no different…it was hit hard, especially early in the year when the world seemed to literally shut down. No matter where you live or what you do, chances are your daily life has been affected in some way by the 2020 Pandemic challenges. Evil shogun swords and potions 2 full#Something may catch your eye! Until the next time.The original, and longest running awards showcase for the Statue Collecting hobby is back for the 7th consecutive year!Ģ020 is over…FINALLY! The year has been full of challenges for everyone. Thanks for reading! If you liked it, be sure to check out the other articles we have for you. However, the decision is yours! Let’s hope that your luck is enough to give you both characters or that one you must want. So nothing against the new waifu, but Kazuha will overall help you improve your account even more. While there is no clear date as to when Kazuha will be released, it’s definitely a very desired character and one that is guaranteed to have a rerun banner before even 3.0. Known as the best unit in the entire game, Kazuha can make ANY team good, thanks to only 2 reasons: boost DMG to the whole team and help you make damage to many enemies. If you are missing these characters, perhaps it would be more effective to save for units like Zhongli or Albedo, even main DPS like Hu Tao, Itto or others.Īnd finally, the ultimate reason as to why you should skip not only Yelan but Arattaki Itto as well. She can work as a DPS, but her main goal is to offer support to teams as a Hydro buffer. It’s true that another one would make things easier in the Abyss, for example, but if you already have him, there is really no point in getting Yelan.Īdditionally, if you find yourself lacking units like Hu Tao or Raiden Shogun, Yelan won’t be able to shine as much as you would like. Its incredible support can help you in any team he is, further expanding damage to all enemies. By himself, combined with other characters, Xingqiu is an amazing and MUST 4 star unit. The main issue here is a previous statement: another Xingqiu. But despite all this, there are a few instances where she may not be that good or required to have. Plus, I mean, waifu material right there, duh. Additionally, she has Crit Rate ascension attribute and good baseline stats. She is just not another Xingqiu but she is a Hydro bow character that scales her abilities from HP, making her a reliable sub-DPS character. Another like her.įirst, by no means Yelan is a bad character. However, there may be a few reasons as to why you should skip her and it’s a no brainer. A Hydro support character that will definitely help you join the meta’s current game and bring more power capabilities to your account. Evil shogun swords and potions 2 Patch#At last, after 3 weeks of delay, Genshin Impact’s 2.7 patch has arrived and with it, its brand new character: Yelan. The Irishman hasn’t quite been able to string it all together this week with the putter in particular letting him down and but for a couple of back-to-back hole-out eagles on the ninth and tenth on Saturday he would be further down the pack. Instead then I will turn my attention to the final day’s two balls in search of some value starting with chancing Brian Harman as the outsider when he tees off against Shane Lowry at 1.35pm. To sum up I expect McIlroy to win but I am reluctant to jump on board now at odds on. Work out your Dead Heat winnings with Paddy’s each-way betting calculator Ultimately though he and Young, along with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim and Dustin Johnson who start five and six back, will need help from the front two and I am not sure McIlroy in particular will give it to them. With his long game still looking solid though I expect him to bounce back in the final round and he may just yet have something to say. Thirty-six hole leader Smith who had been on fire on the greens on the opening two days unexpectedly lost his way with the flatstick on Saturday. With every winner of the Open at St Andrews having been within four shots heading into Sunday, if the front two were to falter then the penultimate pairing of the two Cameron’s, Smith and Young who start four back on 12- under are the most likely duo to take advantage.

The four-time Major Champion gained over 4.5 shots from tee to green on Saturday and if he can continue in the same vein on day four and not let the pressure get to him then he will surely finally end his Major drought.Īs we know though strange things can happen on the final day of a Major and if McIlroy loses his way Hovland who also shot 66 on Saturday is more than capable of taking advantage. ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND – JULY 16: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland looks on during Day Three of The 150th Open at St Andrews Old Course on Jin St Andrews, Scotland. |
