Pandemonium movie 20001/3/2024 ![]() Wordsworth starts out idolising Coleridge and following him, but then gradually turns to destroying his work etc this transformation is very well done by Hannah, who works the extremes well but does the transition better. Roache gets all the "wonder" stuff and is pretty good but he has the film stolen from him by stealth as Hannah delivers a great performance. The cast do well to help inject a certain amount of humour, wonder and drama when any or all of them are required. The direction is a bit too forced at times but it does have some nice moments that are original if not cohesive. This is not to imply it is brilliant because it isn't, but it is enjoyable, interesting and different enough to keep me watching. The characters of Coleridge and Wordsworth are both interesting and it is they that make the story worth sticking with. The precise meaning of this was lost on me other than it being about Coleridge being ahead of his time or timeless in his vision, but it did make the film interesting. I laughed quite a bit to read reviews ranting about errors in continuity, with some shots having modern things in the background perhaps they didn't reach the end of the film to see that this was deliberate and became more frequent as the film went on (why review it if you haven't seen it all?). With this, we are able to enter the experience rather than just the story it also allows for plenty of interesting touches. I do not know the "real" facts behind these characters so I will not go down the road of picking at this film for what definitely contains a great deal of artistic license (the film ends on the London Eye) but in a way it is the license that makes it more interesting. The actual plot is not so easy to get into, but the relationships are well written and there is always something going on. From the very start the film interested me with its strange visuals and interesting characters. Despite this I decided to give it a go and see if it was any good. The two friends get down to work, although the writing process starts to destroy Coleridge from the inside although maybe it's the opium? I taped this film because the title and cast caught my interest but, whenever I read what it was about I thought twice because it sounded like a dull historical film about characters I didn't know a great deal about. ![]() When Coleridge flees the city with his wife and baby to set up a self-sustaining Utopia of their own, William and his sister join them. At a rally where he protests against the war with France and slavery, Samuel Coleridge meets the young William Wordsworth, who idolises him and joins him in his "revolution". ![]() In the 19th Century, poets are the rock stars of their time using drugs, living on the edge and revered by many for their creative influence.

Collatinus lucretia1/3/2024 ![]() It was a combination of economic realities and aesthetic preferences that encouraged Britten to develop the concept of chamber opera, employing a small cast without chorus and an orchestra of just thirteen players. ![]() The Male and Female Chorus attempt to come to terms with these events in a Christian context. Her death provides the impetus for the Romans to throw out the Tarquins. Collatinus arrives with Junius to hear the news, and despite his at least partial understanding of Lucretia's shame it is too painful for her to bear, and she stabs herself. The following morning her late appearance in a distressed, broken state is only slowly understood by her nurse Bianca and maid Lucia, and her husband is sent for. Tarquinius's purpose, however, is made clear when he wakes her and forces himself upon her before leaving her house. There his arrival at her house produces consternation, but hospitality forces Lucretia to offer him a room for the night, despite her misgivings and those of her servants. Urged on by the malicious Junius, Tarquinius decides to prove Lucretia chaste by attempting her virtue himself, and rides off to Rome. Of the married men (Tarquinius goes to brothels) only Collatinus can boast a wife, Lucretia, who was discovered sleeping alone in her husband's absence. They discuss an earlier, unfortunate bet, in which the constancy of various Roman wives was tried and found wanting. At a military camp outside the city his son, the prince Tarquinius Sextus, is drinking with two generals, Collatinus and Junius. The action is set in and around Rome immediately before the end of the reign of the Etruscan king Tarquinius Superbus in 510 BC. Then its own brother butted with its horns, and rammed at me, and with that blow I was brought to a fall then thrown on the ground and sorely hurt, as I lay on my back I saw in the sky a thing most mighty and most wonderful-the sun’s flame-beaming orb melted away to the right hand in a new course.The Male and Female Chorus describe the historical background to the story, and reveal their view of events to be that of a later, Christian era. When now at night’s onset I duly gave my body to rest, soothing weary limbs with sleep, I saw a vision in a dream-a shepherd drove towards me a woolly flock of surpassing beauty two brother-rams were chosen from among them, and I sacrificed the nobler of the two. Proud? He himself speaks of it in Accius’ Brutus- Tarquinius 17–38Ĭicero: What manner of dream was that of Tarquin the. ![]() ![]() Brutus and Collatinus became the first consuls at Rome, where a republic was now set up. Brutus returned to Ardea, and gained the support of the army, but Tarquin found Rome closed against him. Lucretia’s body was escorted to Rome Brutus, who was tribunus celerum, told the people of the outrage, and Tarquin and his family were banished. Under Brutus’ guidance the people of Collatia resolved to renounce Tarquin and all his house. When Lucretia had told her story and killed herself, Brutus threw off his pretended stupidity, and agreed to help Collatinus in avenging her. 25terrae Pareus in terra Kayser terra cdd.25 Exin prostratum terra, graviter saucium, resupinum in caelo contueri maximum ac mirificum facinus: dextrorsum orbem flammeum radiatum solis liquier cursu novo. Deinde eius germanum cornibus conitier, in me arietare, eoque ictu me ad casum dari. Tarquinius Quoniam quieti corpus nocturno impetu dedi sopore placans artus languidos, visust in somnis pastor ad me adpellere 20 pecus lanigerum eximia pulchritudine duos consanguineos arietes inde eligi praeclarioremque alterum inmolare me. At Collatia they found Collatinus’ wife Lucretia spinning with her handmaidens, and Sextus, burning with lust for her, outraged her 17–38Ĭicero, de Div., I, 22, 44: Cuius nam modi est Superbi Tarquini somnium? De quo in Bruto Acci loquitur ipse. During the siege, Tarquin’s sons and their cousin Tarquinius Collatinus visited their homes to test the virtue of their wives. While he was besieging Ardea, Tarquin was further troubled by a dream which, according to the soothsayers, foretold that Rome would soon become a commonwealth. But the most definite omen, which foretold that Lucius Junius Brutus (whom all thought to be stupid) would reign at Rome after Tarquin, passed unnoticed. Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, king of Rome, at the height of prosperity, was worried by certain prodigies which boded trouble for him.

Based on the testing result, it can be concluded that the multi-layer inference Fuzzy Tsukamoto for determining the land suitability class of cocoa plants has an accuracy level amounted 97%. The concept of inference process in Fuzzy Tsukamoto is calculating the weighted average of each result of the nference process. The first layer covers seven inference engines, while each of the second and the third ones only consists of one inference engine. Generally, the algorithm used consists of three main steps those are fuzzification, Tsukamoto inference machine, and defuzzification consisting of three layers. This research uses 18 input variables including 15 non-linguistic variables or crisp and the rest are linguistic ones or fuzzy as the data of growth requirements of cocoa plants. This research aims at implementing the algorithm to determine the land suitability class of cocoa plants using the Multi-Layer Inference Fuzzy Tsukamoto (MLIFT). Determining the land suitability class of plants specifically cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is significant to do because each plant has a different characteristic of growth.

New washing machine1/3/2024 Washing machine drain hoses are made of durable plastic, but they’re not rigid like the pipes you’d find within the walls of your home. If this is the case, your drain hose is likely to blame. When you ran your test cycle, you may have noticed you didn’t hear any draining sounds coming from your washing machine or drain hose, even while the washer indicated that it was in a drain cycle. If nothing happens when you push the sensor switch, the sensor could be faulty-meaning you’ll likely need to call a repair technician or shop for a new washing machine ASAP. If it does, it’s possible that the small stem on your lid has broken off and can no longer depress the sensor when the lid is shut. Then, depress the lid sensor with your finger or a pen cap, and see if the machine resumes operation. While your machine is running during your test cycle, keep the lid until the machine stops the cycle completely (usually, this is right before the spin cycle). As a safety feature, most top-loading machines won’t spin or drain if the sensor indicates that the lid is open. Check the lid switch and sensor.įor top-loading washers that don’t lock, a faulty lid switch sends the message to your machine that the lid is open. Can you hear the sound of water draining? Does the machine stop somewhere in the middle of a cycle? Does the spin cycle make loud noises? Pinpointing when the issue arises can help you find the problem faster. Run a cycle with no clothes in the washer, and stay close by so you can watch and listen to the machine (run a shorter cycle to save yourself time). The first step to fixing standing water in the washing machine is to try and diagnose the problem. Run a cycle with an empty machine and stay close. And if you can’t fix it on the fly, you can still turn to Rent-A-Center for solutions. It might be easier than you think to diagnose and fix your washing machine’s standing water problem. Standing Water In Washing Machine: How to Fix Itīefore you panic that your work clothes will never be clean in time for that big meeting, keep in mind that you may be able to fix your washing machine yourself. Your washing machine’s sensors are damaged or old. ![]() Your load was too large for a good spin cycle.Your lid mechanism is broken or not engaging fully.Here are a few common washing machine problems you could be dealing with: You’re not an appliance repair expert, but you know something is not right when there’s water trapped in the bottom of your washer. Water In Bottom of Washing Machine Drum: Why It Happens What gives? Before that laundry pile gets too high, learn what can cause water at the bottom of the washing machine, how to troubleshoot it, and when it’s time to get a new washer. The clothes are coming out clean, but they’re still soaking wet and sitting in a puddle of standing water at the bottom of your washing machine. You just ran a load of grass-stained kids clothes.

The longer telegram1/3/2024 Manila-a treaty ally and key partner in maintaining security of the first island chain-has borne the brunt of Beijing’s territorial revisions in the region and appears already to be shaping its policy choices off fears of American abandonment. ![]() The omission: There is no explicit mention of the Philippines’ territorial integrity among them. Next week’s edition of TNSB will examine this particular redline in more detail. The inclusion: The author argues that our red lines should include any overt military attack, economic blockade, or cyber attack against Taiwan, its public infrastructure, or its institutions. The author’s list contains, in my view, one laudable inclusion and an important omission. ![]() 71) These red lines should be sharply operationalized to deter Beijing’s continued attempts to operate aggressively in the “grey zone” of conflictual behavior that has been its modus operandi for over a decade. Washington can and should leverage these national strengths to clearly signal a short list of demonstrably enforceable red lines to China. 38)ĭespite the growth in Chinese power projection capabilities and Anti-Access/Area Denial capabilities, the US retains the capacity to marshal the foundations of its national power: the expansive international coalition of liberal democracies, its sophisticated military capabilities and experienced servicemen and women, and, should we choose to return to it, the attractive power and moral force of America’s historical support for liberal democratic governance and human dignity. While the PRC has grown its capacities for material power projection and soft power at alarming rates under Xi’s leadership, it remains vulnerable in key areas including growing challenges to popular acceptance of the CCP’s legitimacy, structural challenges to continued economic growth, increased international backlash including decoupling efforts and growing suspicion of the Belt and Road Initiative, and internal fractures in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. 21) Even the 2017 National Security Strategy and associated documents fail to operationalize what “strategic competition” looks like in terms that can be meaningfully applied across agencies. The US, by contrast, failed for far too long to even recognize the existence of a near-peer competitor and has since failed to develop and operationalize a coherent strategy to oppose Xi’s revisionist agenda. As a result, Xi Jinping has been able to effect uninterrupted long-term plans requiring meticulous planning and steady progress to improve its bargaining position vis-à-vis this United States. Several key (but non-exhaustive) takeaways:Ĭhina has been far more successful than the United States in developing a coherent and consistent whole-of-government strategic vision for competition. ![]() Rather than attempt to summarize the entire document here, I want to highlight a few important points and offer a brief case for why the average American (not just national security professionals and academics) should care. While any serious analyst of US National Security or Sino-American relations will carefully read the entire document, even casual observers of international relations should review the executive summary (pp. 7) in America’s failure to cobble together anything resembling a coherent grand strategy for China. ![]() Entitled “ The Longer Telegram: Toward a New American China Strategy ,” the 85-page document contrasts an alarmingly focused and successful Chinese effort to consolidate and concentrate national power towards advancing Beijing’s interests at the expense of Washington’s with a veritable “dereliction of national responsibility” (p. Last week, The Atlantic Council published a trenchant analysis, penned by an unnamed “former senior government official with deep expertise and experience dealing with China,” of Sino-American competition in the 21st century. While last week’s edition of The National Security Beat (TNSB) featured a survey of recent work on US national security, I am focusing this week on a single piece with the potential to shape America’s China policy for decades.

Lg phones designate private contact1/2/2024 ![]() So the CX is essentially a big piece of glass that is about a quarter of an inch thick. Check out our story I used an LG OLED TV with the PS5 and Xbox Series X - is it worth it? LG CX OLED review: DesignĪnother advantage of OLED technology is that because there's no separate back light you can go thin, super thin. The 48-inch OLED might be a little small for most shoppers, but it's a tempting choice for gamers. As a result, we recommend the 55- and 77-inch versions of the LG CX OLED just as strongly as the 65-inch model we used for this review. Unlike LCD sets, which may offer fewer backlighting zones on different size screens, LG's OLED technology offers the same sharpness and halo-free contrast on every size of screen. 77-inch OLED77CXPUA: $4,999.99 (opens in new tab)Īcross these four models, the LG CX OLED line is virtually identical, offering the same number of ports, the same 4K resolution and HDR support, and the same pixel-perfect self-illuminating OLED display. ![]() It's also worth looking at our LG promo codes page, where we'll list any available discounts across the LG range. And as we approach the launch of LG's new 2021 lineup, prices are dropping, with sales frequently offering the TV for well-below the standard retail price. With 55-inch and 77-inch models available, you can find a version of the CX OLED TV that fits your home, starting at under $2,000. Our review focuses on the 65-inch OLED65CXPUA, but the LG CX OLED is available in several other sizes. The Vizio M-Series Quantum 65-incher is less than $800, for example, as is the Hisense H9F. These prices still represent a premium compared to entry-level 4K LCD sets that use quantum dot films. |
