From Ivan to Peter, Catherine to Nicholas, Russia’s rulers have reforged these myths to suit their own purposes, sometimes as a defensive standard for the people to rally round, sometimes as a badge of celestial honour to cement Moscow’s place as the saviour of the west. Yet according to President Putin, unveiling a monstrous statue to him in 2016, he “gathered and defended Russia’s lands… by founding a strong, united and centralised state”.Īs Orlando Figes’s new history methodically lays bare, this is both myth-making of the first order and of profound importance to understanding Russia today. In truth, Vladimir (or Volodymyr to the Ukrainians) is a classic founding figure, now a saint, about whom almost nothing is known. For Russia, it has long been Grand Prince Vladimir, who had 800 concubines and wives before choosing Christ over Muhammad at the end of the first millennium for the very Russian reason that Islam did not permit alcohol. Think Alfred and the cakes or Robert the Bruce and his study of spiders. E very nation has its founding myths and narratives, usually starring historical figures we know almost nothing about absurd stories even to the schoolchildren to whom they are usually peddled. It is directed at motivating people to prevent mistakes by developing a constant, conscious desire to do their job right the first time." : vii - James Halpin, Zero Defects: A New Dimension in Quality Assurance " Zero Defects is a management tool aimed at the reduction of defects through prevention. Although applicable to any type of enterprise, it has been primarily adopted within supply chains wherever large volumes of components are being purchased (common items such as nuts and bolts are good examples). Quality expert Philip Crosby later incorporated it into his "Absolutes of Quality Management" and it enjoyed a renaissance in the American automobile industry-as a performance goal more than as a program-in the 1990s. As a management-led program to eliminate defects in industrial production, the concept enjoyed brief popularity in American industry from 1964 to the early 1970s. Zero Defects (or ZD) is a collaborative programme or philosophy within an organisation, whereby everyone works together towards the ideal goal of there being no defects in quality. I’m witnessing parents and teens reading the book together. “But at the same time, I’m witnessing parents buy this book for their teens. Johnson, who is nonbinary, said in December that it’s difficult to cope with the backlash even as the book soars in popularity. The 2020 young adult memoir has been banned and challenged because of its LGBTQ content and its profanity and “because it was considered to be sexually explicit,” the ALA said. This New York Times bestseller chronicles the author’s experience growing up as a Black queer boy. There are people for whom this is vital and for whom this could maybe even be lifesaving.” 'All Boys Aren’t Blue' George M. “There are a lot of people who are questioning their gender, questioning their sexuality and having a real hard time finding honest accounts of somebody else on the same journey. “It’s very hard to hear people say ‘this book is not appropriate to young people’ when it’s like I was a young person for whom this book would have been not only appropriate, but so, so necessary,” Kobabe said in December. This is hardly a new or even exciting approach, nor does Asbrink present it as such. The conviction that the past is never really past, that it is always striking back, animates Asbrink’s work. But the causes of destruction prove disturbingly resilient: Revisionism, fascism, and fundamentalism take on new forms, finding footholds in new corners of the world. In 1947, “upon the quagmire of oblivion, the world rebuilds itself,” Asbrink writes. Marshall laid out his economic plan for Europe. It is also when the Soviet Union unexpectedly endorsed the creation of the state of Israel, and when Secretary of State George C. But 1947 is a particularly alluring inflection point for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is when the war officially came to an end, when the peace treaties were signed in Paris. (The titular “now” is 2016, the year the book was initially published, in Sweden.) Previous books have made similar claims about virtually every year before, during, and after World War II. In 1947: Where Now Begins, a book that blends history and memoir, Swedish journalist Elisabeth Asbrink proposes that the state of the world today can be traced directly to this consequential year. 1947: WHERE NOW BEGINS by Elisabeth Asbrink Other Press, 288 pp., $25.95 Brown has a curiosity that “kills” his naive outlook on life and changes him until his death. Young Goodman Brown’s journey into the forest is best defined as a kind of “general, indeterminate allegory, representing man’s irrational drive to leave faith, home, and security temporarily behind, for whatever reason, and take a chance with one(more) errand onto the wilder shores of experience” (Martin). Hawthorne’s use of symbolism in his allegorical tale Young Goodman Brown causes the main character’s revelations about the sin within his community, his family and himself. It is also certain that Hawthorne’s interpretation of Brown’s “mid-life crisis” has ambiguity and leaves a reader with many different feelings about what and why certain things have happened. What is certain is that he lives and dies in pain because his belief in his righteousness isolates him from his community. Critics also debate interpretations of the main character’s consciousness is Brown awake or dreaming. Most criticism and reflection of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown centers on a good versus evil theme. Low-carb was better for weight loss, and all the important risk factors for cardiovascular disease including cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure improved as well.

Like thousands of other physicians, Fung believed that low-carb diets were a fad, and that the dieters’ arteries would become so clogged with cholesterol that it would be the end of them. “Out of the nine years spent in formal medical education, I would estimate I had four hours of lectures on nutrition.” Jason Fung has been honing his medical skills since 2001, particularly in the fields of obesity and type 2 diabetes, which led him to focus on diet and nutrition.Ī scary statistic that tends to highlight the plight of our current state of dietary affairs can be summed up in this one sentence by Dr. Seyfried, Mark Sisson and Robb Wolf, to bring you the most comprehensive guide to fasting you’ll ever read.ĭr.

I think any of us are probably fascinated by the psychology that exists within a cult, the power dynamic that occurs between those who are leading the way and those who are following, and that vulnerability that that exists and occurs, no matter which cult we're talking about. Guy Pearce: Yeah, the same things, really. But I think that just the idea of, for lack of a better word, a cult of blond children and the idea of what was happening with them, what was being inflicted upon them, and just the concept of shooting all of this in Melbourne, which is such an eerie location, really piqued my interest, it was very interesting. Pomare, and it draws inspiration from lots of cults throughout history. It's based on the book In the Clearing by J.P. There was, obviously, quite a long audition process, but it's a very interesting show, there's really not much like it out there. Julia Savage: Yeah, for starters, I thought it was very interesting. What about the material really sparked your interest? But at the same time, I am so moved by what I've seen so far. Screen Rant: I hate to say I'm excited to talk about The Clearing, because it's very serious. |
