R. Jonathan b. Nathan Nata Eibeschutz (1690/95–1764), talmudist and kabbalist, a child prodigy, studied in Poland, Moravia, and Prague. In his youth, after the death of his father, he studied in Prossnitz under R. Meir Eisenstadt and R. Eliezer ha-Levi Ettinger, his uncle, and in Vienna under R. Samson Wertheimer. He married the daughter of R. Isaac Spira, the av bet din of Bunzlau. After traveling for some time he settled in Prague in 1715, and in time became head of the yeshivah and a famous preacher. After the death of R. David Oppenheim (1736), he was appointed dayyan of Prague. Elected rabbi of Metz in 1741, he subsequently became rabbi of the "Three Communities," Altona, Hamburg, and Wandsbek (1750). Both in Metz and in Altona he had many disciples and was considered a great preacher.
His position in the Three Communities, however, was undermined when the dispute broke out concerning his suspected leanings toward Shabbateanism. This controversy accompanied R. Eybeschuetz throughout his life, and the quarrel had repercussions in every community from Holland to Poland. His main opponent was R. Jacob Emden, also a famous talmudist and a potential rival in the candidature to the rabbinate of the Three Communities. The quarrel developed into a great public dispute which divided the rabbis of the day. While most of the German rabbis opposed R. Eybeschuetz, his support came from the rabbis of Poland and Moravia. A fruitless attempt at mediation was made by R. Ezekiel Landau, rabbi of Prague. Most of R. Eybeschuetz' own community was loyal to him and confidently accepted his refutation of the charges made by his opponent, but dissension reached such a pitch that both sides appealed to the authorities in Hamburg and the government of Denmark for a judicial ruling. The king favored R. Eybeschuetz and ordered new elections, which resulted in his reappointment. After his reelection as rabbi of the Three Communities, some rabbis of Frankfort, Amsterdam, and Metz challenged him to appear before them to reply to the suspicions raised against him. R. Eybeschuetz refused, and when the matter was brought before the Council of the Four Lands in 1753, the council issued a ruling in his favor. In 1760 the quarrel broke out once more when some Shabbatean elements were discovered among the students of R. Eybeschuetz' yeshivah. At the same time his younger son, Wolf, presented himself as a Shabbatean prophet, with the result that the yeshivah was closed.

It's about time we tried Boiling Point! Sometimes, I feel like such a shameful blogger when I have yet to visit popular restaurants in the city. Do any other bloggers feel the same way?
Anyways, I have heard really good things about Boiling Point from many people. Since we wanted to go to OneZo BBT that day, I suggested finally trying Boiling Point since it was a block away! Two birds with one stone!
Parking is not easy around this area since Kingsway St is so busy but we managed to find paid meter parking a block away.
The restaurant was packed and the was a lineup as expected. They have a tablet where you enter in the number of people and the machine will print out a ticket. The staff will then call you up when the table is ready. Since we were a table of 2, we only had to wait 5 minutes which was nice!
I found the seating to be very secluded and awkward. The booth is really high so you can't really see the servers walking by and you share a table with a flimsy wood divider.
The angle in the picture above makes it look spacious, but once you go inside to the actual booth is where it feels slightly claustrophobic.
Beef hot pot, no spice: My beef hot pot came at a steady boil already! After they bring you the hot pot, they use a match to light it so the boil continues.
I really enjoyed my hot pot! The soup was tasty and reminded me just of hot pot broth. There was a strong satay sauce flavour which I loved.
There was a generous portion of beef slices, and a couple pieces of fish and cuttlefish. I found the seafood pieces to be cold inside, so I let them boil more and ate it at the end.
There was also a generous amount of napa cabbage which was sweet. I liked the variety in the pot in terms of meat and vegetables, and would definitely get this pot again!
The broth seemed a bit oily so I was worried at how my stomach would react, but it was fine so yay!
Korean bean paste hot pot: The boyfriend ordered his with a 4/5 spice level. However, it was quite disappointing because it was more of a 0/5 spice level! We aren't sure if the server heard wrong, the chef made a mistake, or their spice levels aren't that strong??
Anyways, despite that, he enjoyed the variety of meat and vegetables. His pot also came with some instant noodles because Koreans love their instant noodle!
Since he was expecting it to be a spicy soup, it wasn't as good as he hoped it would be. Hopefully it's just a one time thing because I would love to come back!
Tea, free: S'mores is a regular here and recommended we came for lunch because prices are cheaper and you get as free iced green or black tea!
The tea was enjoyable! It was not super strong or fragrant, but you could definitely taste the tea. It came sweetened which we didn't mind, the black tea tasted like a subtle version of the McDonald's sweet tea in the US.
Overall, we left very full but I was more satisfied than the boyfriend. I'll have to try to convince him to come back and hopefully next time, they'll have the spice levels adjusted.

text: Prompted by earlier work using a coupled ocean-atmosphere-sea ice configuration of MITgcm (Rose and Marshall, 2009), David Ferreira, John Marshall and Brian Rose have been probing the model for multiple equilibria. Although low-order energy balance models of the climate are known to exhibit intransitivity, i.e. more than one climate state for a given set of governing equations, the teams results are the first to demonstrate that this is a property of a complex coupled model with an energetically-consistent set of equations representing the 3d dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere (i.e., there is importantly no flux correction). Their coupled model notably includes atmospheric synoptic systems, large-scale circulation of the ocean, a fully active hydrological cycle, sea-ice and a seasonal cycle.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
A visit to Ypres' past is not complete without a visit to some of the infamous grounds that World War I is famous for: trenches. Sanctuary Wood, located just below Hill 62, is an unforgettable, not-to-be-missed site and family-run museum abounding in remnants of war. Its grounds are flooded with deep holes and cavities, likely a result from bombings. Originally a space for soldiers coming off the front line, it is now open to the public and holds a vast collection of memorabilia and objects of interest. With preserved trenches and tunnels for spectators to discover, one is able to imagine the daily life of a soldier here — an experience unlike any other. A quick walk to the top of the hill also brings you to a simple monument that honors members of the Canadian Corps who fought here.
This considerable 1927 memorial is a tribute to British soldiers killed in battle and whose final resting places are unknown. The names of these missing men line the inside of the gate, which is open for both cars and passersby to move through. Its location is also of significance because it sits atop one of the main roads that led troops through, allowing them to reach the front lines. There is also a remembrance ceremony each night — a tribute to those named. Wandering through the gate is sure to leave a mark today, as it contains the names of more than 54,000 soldiers who were lost between 1914 and 1917.
The extensive and famous In Flanders Fields Museum is also located in Ypres and contains every piece of information imaginable about the war. Housed in the old Cloth Hall, the building itself makes quite the impression upon first arrival. Given that World War I completely demolished the city, it is remarkable to witness its rebirth, and the Cloth Hall is no exception. The museum is interactive and allows you to journey through the war's history with a personalized bracelet given to you at the entrance. This bracelet guides you through the museum via the perspective of one person tailored to you. This in turn offers you an intimate look at the war's repercussions in not only its broad spectrum but also its particulars as well.
With 160 cemeteries located in Ypres, there is hardly a shortage to choose from when wishing to pay a visit. However, one of the more notable of these is Tyne Cot Cemetery. Originally used as a dressing station and hospital during the battle, it has now transformed into a British museum and cemetery, housing an assortment of artifacts and memorabilia from the war. A walk through the cemetery offers a glimpse into the care taken by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in honoring these men. It is a peaceful place that is beautiful in its own way, with each headstone a marker for an individual. Its large memorial contains the names of missing soldiers dated after 1917, which were too many to be inscribed on the Menin Gate.
It is definitely worthwhile to have a look at the contrast between both British and German burial grounds; so trekking over to Langemark Cemetery is a must. Smaller in scale and modest in nature, Langemark houses more than 44,000 soldiers in its midst. The cemetery is not as personalized as Tyne Cot, and this shows through the mass burial sites that it contains. It should also be noted that Langemark not only includes the remains of soldiers but also of school children.

Pocket Socks - The Jingle
Posted by Evan Papel on Feb 10th 2019
The Pocket Socks jingle is at the bottom of the posting.
I heard this in my head years ago and finally took a leap to produce the jingle. What is a jingle? A jingle is supposed to be a short slogan, tune or verse designed to be easily remembered. From a marketing and advertising perspective, a jingle should be memorable for a long long time. Like, stuck in your head memorable.
Here are a few examples of great jingles. You should read it or see it and be able to have that music just play in your head. Granted, your age determines if you can recall these or not, but here are some timeless classics;
- McDonalds "I'm lovin' it"
- Oscar Mayer "I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Weiner"
- Subway "Five Dollar Foot Long"
- State Farm "Like a Good Neighbor"
- Lucky Charms They're Magically Delicious"
- Huggies "I'm a Big Kid Now"
- Alka Seltzer "Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz"
- Band-Aid "Stuck on Band-Aid"
Now -- Did POCKET SOCKS meet the bar? Did we create a forever memorable little tune and slogan that is timeless? Feel free to share and post your comments.

Customized Patience in Chic Vineyard Wedding
One of our absolute favorite lace wedding dresses, Patience by Maggie Sottero, delivers simple elegance to a seemingly endless array of wedding aesthetics, from classic to boho to vintage. Today we have gorgeous Maggie bride Alex in a customized version of this sheath gown—featuring delicate lace straps atop the sweetheart neckline—for her chapel-and-vineyard wedding in the UK countryside. Keep scrolling for more!
📷: Sian Owen
Which Maggie Sottero Designs gown did you wear?
Patience by Maggie Sottero.
How did you know when you found "the dress"
I went to several boutiques and didn't quite find anything that felt right. My last appointment was at a stunning boutique in Newcastle upon Tyne called Y.A.P Bridal. The owner, Jo, sat down with me and asked me about myself, my style, how I envisaged looking on the day and details about the venue and decorations. She then pulled four dresses that she thought I'd like – three of them were Maggie Sottero, so I had a pretty good idea that I would end up being a Maggie bride! My favorites were Carmen and Patience but I wasn't sure which I preferred, so I booked a second appointment to try them on again. In the time between the appointments, I kept Googling pictures and searching on Instagram for real brides who had worn Patience! I asked my mum, bridesmaids and friends to join me for the next appointment. When I tried Patience on again, I knew that was "the dress." It was different from anything I'd tried on before and I thought it would be a perfect match for our vineyard venue.
What was your favorite part of the dress?
I loved the color, tulle skirt, and the lace motif detail at the sides. It felt so light and comfortable on. The amazing Anne Hall at Diva Designs (who does the dress alterations for Y.A.P brides) even found nearly identical lace to add straps onto the dress for me.
How did you and your partner meet?
Chris and I met when we were both studying abroad at Arizona State University. We were both students at Manchester University but didn't meet until I moved into the spare room of the apartment Chris had rented in Arizona. He had already lived there for six months by the time I arrived in January 2009. We quickly became close – he showed me around town, took me on my first (and long-awaited) trip to Vegas and introduced me to people who are now some of my best friends.
How did he propose?
After five years together, we bought our first house together and moved in in June 2014. A couple of months later, I got home early from work on a normal Friday and was told to go and relax in the garden with a gin and tonic. Funnily enough, I painted my nails while I was outside and was very glad of this later on! After some time, I was invited back inside and escorted up the two flights of stairs, which had handwritten notes all the way up. When we got to the third floor, I saw a red box, which looked too big to contain a ring so that was slightly confusing! I opened it, saw a note saying 'turn around', and there was Chris on one knee with the actual ring box. Of course, I said yes!
Where did you get married?
Our ceremony was at All Saints Church in Penarth (where I grew up and my parents still live), followed by a reception at Llanerch Vineyard. As wine lovers, we thought a vineyard location near my hometown was perfect for a spring wedding. We loved the beautiful outdoor space – we had our cocktail hour in the vineyard's new Calon Lodge with a secret garden overlooking the vines, then the main reception in the woodland marquee.
Did your wedding have a theme?
We added some details in keeping with the vineyard venue, such as a table plan made of corks that one of my best friends, Hayley, made from scratch; wine corks as place card holders; slices of wood as part of the centerpieces; and we of course served the vineyard's own 'Cariad' wine (this means 'love' in Welsh).
Our colors were purples and gold, which came through in the bridesmaid dresses, centerpieces, signage (which was made by one of my bridesmaids, Sarah), and cake, which also had gold frames around it with pictures of our parents and grandparents on their wedding days.
As we met when studying abroad in Arizona, we wanted to include a few nods to this in the wedding. We had an 'Arizona Sunrise' signature cocktail, and all the tables were named after towns or canyons in Arizona.
We were keen to have personal touches, so my uncle, who is well-known among our family and friends for working in the fashion eyewear industry, provided personalized sunglasses to every guest as wedding favors. These had our names on one side and the date on the other.
In addition, our guests travelled from all over to attend, so our friend Katie handmade a directional sign which included most of the locations people had come from. This was one of our favorite unique decorations of the day.
How did you decide what you wanted your wedding to look like?
I must have spent hundreds of hours on Pinterest! I had always known what colors I wanted, and the Arizona-inspired touches, and once we booked Llanerch Vineyard for the reception it all came together quite easily. It's such a stunning venue that it really didn't need much added to it.
What was your favorite wedding day moment?
My favorite moments were the walk down the aisle with my dad (while seeing everyone from all over the world and different parts of my life all in the same room in my hometown), the surprise wedding salute I received with oars from the local rowing club as we drove to the church, and the time between the dinner and the speeches when we were all outside enjoying the vineyard's wine and beautiful grounds in the sun.
Describe your wedding in one word.
Unforgettable. And surreal!
What advice do you have for future brides?
Don't be afraid to ask friends and family for help! Especially if they have a specific skill or talent. Also, try to have everything finalized by a week before the wedding, so that you can relax and enjoy the run-up to the day without any stress.

I shouldn't have even given it a second thought. As I hopped up, a big smile hit my face. I had forgotten how broad and sturdy his back is. I settled in and enjoyed the feeling of his muscles rippling around beneath my seat.
I also realized that my bareback seat could use some work. I thought about doing some trotting and cantering out in the nearby field, but doubted my security. It wasn't that long ago that I felt comfortable popping over small logs bareback.
Once I go back to work in the next week or so, I'll be forced to ride in the hot afternoons again. Those are perfect bareback days. I am sure I'll be popping over those logs in no time!

Advertising Photographer: Job Duties, Occupational Outlook, and Education Requirements
Research what it takes to become an advertising photographer. Learn about career stats, required education and outlook for employment to find out if this is the career for you.
What Is an Advertising Photographer?
As an advertising photographer, you'll create images for use in marketing various products and services. In general, photographers are trained in how to plan a photograph, use lighting equipment and alter images with photo-enhancing software. Advertising photographers will provide their clients with commercial-quality pictures by using various photographic techniques. These professionals will likely need to market themselves and their services to clients and therefore should keep a professional portfolio to display their work. The chart below provides an overview of what you need to know about entering this field.
|Degree Required
|None required for most photographers, but earning a bachelor's degree is common
|Training Required
|Apprenticeship under seasoned photographer
|Education Field of Study
|Photography or fine arts
|Key Responsibilities
|Promotional photography; working with clients to capture their vision; digitally enhance images
|Job Growth (2018-2028)
|-6%* for all photographers
|Average Annual Salary (2018)
|$42,770* for all photographers

What Is an Advertising Photographer?
As an advertising photographer, you'll take pictures of various subjects for promotional materials. Your work may end up on billboards or product packaging or in television commercials or magazine ads. You'll work with film or digital media and must be skilled in processing both. You'll photograph objects to your employer's or client's specifications. By adjusting angles, shutter speeds, lens filters, light sources and equipment, you'll affect shading, shadows and colors to enhance an object's appearance.
With digital photography, you may further enhance an image or combine it with others by using computer software programs. With film, you'll work in dark rooms to develop film, scan images into a computer or store prints for later usage. Film may also be sent to a processing center for development.
What Can I Expect from this Career?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasts that the number of jobs for photographers would decline by 6% between 2018 and 2028 (www.bls.gov). Increased interest and use of digital cameras, accompanied by decreasing cost in the technology, was given as the reason for the decline. As a freelance photographer, you might have more opportunity to market directly to customers due to the Internet, but the falling price and relative ease of using digital equipment will allow businesses to create images of their own, according to the BLS.
You'll find that competition for photography jobs is high, with salaried jobs difficult to find. As of May 2018, the average annual wage for all photographers was $42,770, according to the BLS. Creative firms employ some advertising photographers full-time. Others work independently as freelance photographers.
What Education Should I Seek?
You'll need technical and conceptual skills to use photography equipment, as well as creative and marketing skills to understand the best ways to set up photographs for advertising. Many colleges, universities and technical schools offer bachelor's degree programs in photography or fine arts. These programs include instruction in equipment use, film and photography techniques, types of photography work, creativity and artistic expression. Because many advertising photographers work as freelancers, business knowledge is also beneficial.
Many advertising photographers learn basic technical skills as an apprentice under professional photographers, according to the BLS. You may use this time to network and build a portfolio of work, which is often essential to landing an advertising photographer position.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
One related career is graphic design, since graphic designers also creates visual concepts. These professionals need a bachelor's degree, and they develop images or layout designs for things like brochures, magazines or advertisements. Fashion designing is also an alternative that requires a bachelor's degree. Fashion designers design and create clothing and accessories. Film and video editors and camera operators are related jobs that control the images that audiences see in various forms of media. They also need a bachelor's degree.

My husband works for the state of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) as a State Park Manager. We rent a house provided for us in the park he oversees.
Until the day he retires, we are renters. This is a new thing for us.. especially since we designed and built our last house from the ground up.
When a management position comes open, they have a park tour for all interested candidates. Our first introduction to this house was during the park tour, in October 2016. My husband was pretty confident that he would be getting hired for this position, so I came along on the tour. I tried to take pictures of all the rooms in the house so we could plan ahead. All of the "Before" pictures I'm going to be sharing are from that tour. They were taken with my phone, so the quality isn't perfect.
The house was built as a game warden residence sometime around the 1930's-1940's. As soon as my husband became acting manager in December of 2016, we began remodeling the house. All design choices were ours. We are allowed to paint and make it our own as much as we want. We can even change walls with approval. With a limited budget, we're doing it in phases, but it's been fun to see it transform from a former bachelor pad to our family's home!
I'm going to share all of the BEFORE pictures of this house. Keep in mind, this is not the current state.

I have had a couple of wines from Señorío de P. Peciña recently due to a massive case of Rioja fever. After rumors and hearsay from favorite NYC/Brooklyn shops like Chambers Street and UVA Wines, I am happy to confirm that this is the real deal as far as old school style traditional Rioja is concerned. Only catch, it's a relatively new producer? Señorío de P. Peciña dates from 1992, pretty young by Rioja standards, especially considering that the style is old school. While several old school Rioja style producers still exist (López de Heredia, La Rioja Alta, CUNE, Bodegas Riojanas, etc.), most recent upstarts in the region would certainly be considered new school.
Señorío de P. Peciña does only natural spontaneous fermentation of the grapes. No inoculation here. Señorío de P. Peciña also does not use new oak barrels. It relies on barrels that have already had wine pass through them at least once so that no overtly woody aromas are imparted to the wine. This allows the bodega to age the wine for extended periods of time without robbing it of its natural character and fruit. The wine is further allowed to rest in bottle for extended periods prior going to market. All this, and more, contribute to what is poised to be one of the great classic Rioja producers. Rumor also has it, that the wine maker spent 20 years at La Rioja Alta. No wonder I love these wines.
Señorío de P. Peciña 2003 Crianza
The flavors in the 2003 Crianza are classic menthol, mixed with some very transparent spiced wood aromas, sandalwood, as well as bright and sour cherries. The nose is simply gorgeous and I would easily put this on par with wines like López de Heredia's Cubillo (and possibly Bosconia and Tondoñia), and La Rioja Alta's Viña Alberdi (and possibly Viña Ardanza), etc. I guess the most shocking thing is that a young(ish) producer is willing to enter the game with an old school play. Not only brave, but a forward looking move as well. This is truly a discovery in the sea of sameness. Available in NYC from UVA Wines and Chambers Street Wines ~ $20-$22. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – MUST BUY
Señorío de P. Peciña 2001 Reserva
As good as the 2003 Crianza might be, especially at around $20, the 2001 Reserva is even better, and it comes in around $30. Super old school style Rioja here, with more depth and refinement. The nose is awesome. My wine buddy Aaron and I were wowed at the nose immediately, easily worth the price of admission. Bright cherry fruit mixing with cedar and earth aromas. Very complex and inviting. Maybe even a better value than the Crianza. Available at Chambers Street Wines ~ $30. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – MUST BUY

Surviving Modernity
David Brown, Paradise Lost:
A Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald
(Belknap Press/Harvard University Press)
A half century ago, most American college students had read at least one F. Scott Fitzgerald novel by the time they graduated, most likely The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald may not be found so readily in college and secondary school curricula these days; he was, after all, a white male and, since 1940, a dead one. But Fitzgerald remains one of the most written about American writers of the 20th century, on par with his sometimes pal Ernest Hemmingway. With many general readers, especially those of my generation, more than vaguely familiar with the contours of Fitzgerald's life, and with several Fitzgerald biographies available, a biographer faces a challenge in bringing a fresh perspective to any portrait of the intense and often unruly novelist. In Paradise Lost: A Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Brown, Professor of History at Elizabethtown College, seeks to find that perspective by emphasizing Fitzgerald's credentials less as a novelist and more as a social and cultural commentator – "one of the more important cultural commentators America has produced" (p.5-6), Brown writes.
In a handful of novels, but also in an abundance of notes, letters, essays and short stories, Fitzgerald produced "penetrating descriptions of the Western world's leap from feudalism to capitalism, from faith to secularism, and from the tradition oriented to the flux oriented" (p.5). Fitzgerald's historical sensibilities "leaned toward the aristocratic, the pre-modern, and the romantic" (p.2). Brown identifies affinities between Fitzgerald's social thought and that of numerous other thinkers, among them Thorstein Veblen, Frederick Jackson Turner, and H.L. Mencken. But he finds historians Henry Adams and the German Oswald Spengler to be Fitzgerald's "truest intellectual contemporaries." Like Adams and Spengler, Fitzgerald "doubted whether older, pre-Enlightenment notions of art, creativity, paternalism, and worship would survive the onset of what we have since come to call 'modernity'" (p.6).
The Fitzgerald who opined on the perils of modernity was very much an "America first" social commentator. Although he spent limited but highly publicized time in Europe, the Old World entered into Fitzgerald's commentary primarily as a gauge for measuring America. Fitzgerald saw in America a "continent of possibilities, a place to escape the Old World's rigidly enforced class structures and adopt new identities" (p.6), yet he shared the pessimism of Spengler and Adams. In Fitzgerald's view, the virtues he ascribed to America had all but expired during the so-called Gilded Age, the last three decades of the 19th century following the American Civil War. The industrialization of the Gilded Age brought the "rise of vast industrial fortunes that blotted out an earlier idealism," replaced by a "soulless materialism" (p.6). Depicting an America "unusually thick with fallen heroes, martyrs to a powerful social-mobility mythology," Fitzgerald's writings were fused with the "disquieting notion that we have drifted far from our inheritance as the children of pioneers to fashion a culture that teaches its young to love too much the privileges and protections of wealth" (p.344).
Although Fitzgerald considered himself politically on the left – he self-identified as a socialist in the 1921 Who's Who in America — his critique of capitalism was conservative and sentimental, Brown contends, based on nostalgia for a bygone agrarian and small town era. Much like Mencken, Fitzgerald refused to vest much faith in "the people." Brown also sees a linking of common concerns between Fitzgerald and the historian Frederick Jackson Turner. A generation older than Fitzgerald, Turner became famous for his thesis that the closing of the American frontier around 1890 had indelibly shaped American democracy. Both men, Brown writes, were "motivated by romantic impulses, and each observed the settlement of once-open territory as an enclosure of imagination as well as property" (p.176). Fitzgerald asked in his own way the same question that Turner had raised: if the unsettled lands of the American frontier had created a "'democratic' personality type – independent, inventive, egalitarian – then what was the future of an America without frontiers?" (p.176).
Brown deftly weaves Fitzgerald's social commentary into an erudite, chronologically arranged biography, situating Fitzgerald in three historical periods, each a separate section: 1) "Beginnings," 1896 -1920, his early years and youth, ending with his famous — perhaps infamous — marriage to Zelda Sayre in 1920; 2) "Building Up," 1920-1925, the "Jazz Age" (a term that Fitzgerald is credited with coining) that was his triumphant period; and 3) "Breaking Down," 1925-1940, when Fitzgerald's world began to fall apart prior to and during the global economic collapse of the 1930s, up to his death in 1940. Brown finishes with a final section, "Ghosts and Legends," addressing Zelda's life after Fitzgerald, up to her own tragic death in a fire in 1948, and the rise of a Fitzgerald legend which began unexpectedly after World War II.
* * *
Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the upper Mid-West, and spent his earliest years there. His mother Mollie, of Irish immigrant stock, was the daughter of a successful immigrant wholesale grocer. His father Edward, also of Irish descent, came from an entrenched landowning family that counted Francis Scott Key as an ancestor; Scott's birth name was Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. Edward had grown up in Maryland, a border state during the American Civil War. But his family's loyalties were unreservedly with the Confederacy during the war. As an adult, Edward failed in many businesses. Mollie and Edward, Brown writes, embodied "distinct sides of the American experience – the rising immigrant in Mollie's case, the vanishing southern aristocracy in Edward's," all the while sharing a tendentious marital life "burdened by an inexorable slide into polite poverty" (p.9).
The young Fitzgerald absorbed from his father much of the ethos and mythology of the Confederate "lost cause" and "doomed nobility," retaining vaguely southern sympathies throughout his adult life. But as Brown points out, Fitzgerald entertained an idealized notion of "Dixie," chivalric, refined, and cavalier. Like most white Americans of his day, Fitzgerald "never really considered the question of slavery and its aftermath as anything more than an abstraction, and thus he never wrestled with its deep ethical implications. Consequently, he handled somewhat clumsily the few black Americans and Europeans who turn up in his novels and stories" (p.190).
Bland St. Paul offered Fitzgerald a "wide avenue of exploration into the American character and its relationship to place and tradition" (p.26). Fitzgerald's St. Paul embodied "solidity and stability, a city of neighborhood hardware stores, spruced up Main Streets, and a few first families to establish tone" (p.26). But Fitzgerald left St. Paul as an adolescent to attend the Newman School, a boarding school outside Hackensack, New Jersey, which styled itself as the "Catholic Andover." The young man played football, a rough contact sport that was relatively new at the time. Although a mediocre player, he wrote about football frequently in future novels and short stories. Despite poor grades and his share of fistfights, Fitzgerald manifested a talent for writing while at Newman. When his maternal grandmother died and left his mother a small fortune, Fitzgerald determined that Princeton University, also in New Jersey, was the next place for him.
Princeton's proximity to New York, its opportunities for literary output, and its aristocratic mien attracted Fitzgerald. But he twice failed the entrance exam, after which he scheduled an appointment with the Admissions Committee. Somehow the 17-year-old lad sold himself to the Committee (what a pity there is no record for posterity of that meeting), and he entered Princeton in the fall of 1913. Then known as the Ivy League school for Southern gentlemen, Princeton was a place where callow, wealthy young men "basked in the superiority of their superiority" (p.44), as Brown puts it. At best a mediocre student at Princeton, Fitzgerald never graduated.
Yet, Princeton shaped Fitzgerald profoundly. He befriended future literary critic Edmund Wilson as an undergraduate and showed considerable promise as a writer. Many of Fitzgerald's novels and short stories, Brown notes, "bear the indelible impress of the Princeton years and more broadly his experiences within the privileged world of the Ivy elite" (p.48). From Princeton onward, wealth became a subject of intense interest to Fitzgerald "primarily as an entry to experiences otherwise denied." (p.43). His "complex reactions to the leisure class," dating from his undergraduate years, can be bluntly reduced to his view that "wealth was wasted on the rich" (p.44).
Fitzgerald drank a lot as a Princeton undergraduate, but so did many of his schoolmates. Excessive drinking was written off as "nothing more than a rite of passage, part of the collegiate experience as much as athletics, course work, and clubs" (p.49). From his Princeton days onward, however, Fitzgerald was a "functional alcoholic" in an era when alcoholism was considered a character defect or a matter of personal weakness rather than an illness. Fitzgerald came to view drinking as an "almost indispensable part of the writer's world. Occasions on which to discuss books, publishing, and composing were invariably occasions to drink" (p.116-17). Hard spirits for Fitzgerald were the "due of an Irish novelist," with excessive drinking serving as a "necessary precondition to composition" (p.228).
Halfway through his sophomore year at Princeton, Fitzgerald fell head over heels for Ginevra King, a debutante from a prominent Chicago banking family. Brown characterizes Scott's courtship of Ginevra as a "fool's errand, a case of begging for inevitable disappointment" (p.59). But Ginevra proved to be a model for many female characters in his forthcoming novels, a "composite of flapper, flirt, and baby-vamp, the temptress who stands for wealth and irresponsibility in relation to a man situated precariously between his work and his woman" (p.59). Fitzgerald's courtship of Ginevra, Brown continues, "tells us something important about his mixed attitude toward women. Even a cursory perusal of his published writing reveals a penchant for dividing the genders between female realism and male romance. In the Fitzgerald canon, women are often wreckers of men, taking their dignity, extracting their vitality, and dulling their work habits" (p.63).
Fitzgerald left Princeton for the military after the United States entered World War I, but was never sent into combat. While stationed at Camp Sheridan, Alabama, near Montgomery, he met Zelda Sayre. An Alabama Belle, as Brown repeatedly terms her, Zelda was four years younger than Fitzgerald. Her father, then serving as a justice on the Alabama Supreme Court, traced his family's roots to the planter class of the Old South. Zelda thus spoke to the side of Fitzgerald enamored of the "lost cause" and taken in by ostensible Southern gentility. Scott's interest in Zelda intensified after he learned of Ginevra's engagement to another man. But Zelda had doubts whether the aspiring writer had the means to support her. By November 1919, however, he had proven himself to be a sufficient money-maker after he sold his first short story to the Saturday Evening Post, and the couple married the following April in a small, rushed ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
Eight days prior to the wedding ceremony, This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald's first novel, was published. The novel, which he had worked on while stationed in Alabama, "touched on the social permissiveness of the era, increasingly candid attitudes toward sexuality, and the general coming down of prewar cultural taboos" (p.5). A coming-of-age novel in which the main character "achieves a hard-earned insight . . . no love goes unpunished, no creed escapes unscathed" (p.85), This Side of Paradise established Fitzgerald's reputation as an authoritative cultural commentator. The novel in Brown's interpretation demonstrated Fitzgerald's particular affinity to radical economist Thorstein Veblen, offering a "penetrating commentary on the American failure to transcend the cash nexus that sustained, as Veblen had put it, the country's peculiar loyalty to its glittering if rapacious 'leisure class"" (p.86).
The Fitzgeralds' earliest days as a married couple coincided with Scott's rising celebrity, due primarily to the early success of This Side of Paradise. Despite strains that were evident early in the marriage, Scott and Zelda formed what Brown terms a "productive if one-sided partnership" (p.78). But rather than simply enjoy the moment, they seemed "determined to push it forward, prolonging its intensity and exhausting its possibilities. As if performing, they played up several personalities (the writer, the belle, the flapper, the moralist, the drunkard . . . ) before attentive audiences. What they lacked was a stretch of time off the society pages to develop a deeper rapport, though in fact neither seemed to want this" (p.77).
The nomadic couple was famous for living in Paris and the French Riviera (where Scott befriended fellow novelist Ernest Hemmingway, who never got along with Zelda); and in Manhattan and Great Neck, on Long Island. But they also had stints in Connecticut, Delaware, Alabama and a return period in St. Paul. Wherever they went, they rented. Whenever they could, they rang up high hotel bills, kept cooks and nannies, and threw lavish parties. Their only child, daughter Frances, always called "Scottie," was born in 1921. Fitzgerald also formed a long-standing relationship during this high-visibility period with Scribner, the distinguished New York publishing firm, and he earned steady money by selling imaginative short stories to the Saturday Evening Post.
Then, in 1925 and not yet 30 years old, Fitzgerald saw the publication of The Great Gatsby. Written primarily while in France, The Great Gatsby brought Fitzgerald to the "summit of American letters" (p.11). The novel takes place in the fictional Long Island towns of East and West Egg and portrays the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his obsessive passion for Daisy Buchanan (whose father was modeled after Ginevra's father). Gatsby, Brown writes, "stands in a long line of Fitzgerald types – flawed heroes, poor boys – who smash against the collective might of their well-to-do tormentors" (p.125).
Fitzgerald's portrait of Gatsby presented what Brown terms a "stunning interpretation of historical progression, commencing with the age of European discovery and concluding with the closing of the American frontier. In place of the virgin land that once attracted European settlers stood a nation whose grandest dreams had run to a dull materialism" (p.172). In his ruminations on the "restless nature of the human spirit in tension with a taming 'civilization'" (p.179-80), Fitzgerald echoed the thought of Frederick Jackson Turner. Brown also finds The Great Gatsby to be in line with Sinclair Lewis' satiric Babbitt, and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, with their "sharp and unsparing" criticism of the "strong association of success with materialism" (p.169).
Writing The Great Gatsby "marked the high point of Fitzgerald's restive years abroad" (p.183). In the years following their return to the United States, Scott's increasing alcohol abuse and recurrent financial difficulties coincided with Zelda's hospitalization for what was diagnosed as schizophrenia. She spent time in institutions in Switzerland, Maryland and North Carolina, and never fully recovered. Scott, "once the embodiment of twenties excess," (p.12) seemed to be wrestling in the disorderly 1930s with what Brown describes as the "loss of a romantic idealism that had once served as the rock on which he rested – both emotionally and artistically" (p.281). He came to recognize the cultural consequences of modernity: the "volatile merging of capitalism, secularism, rationalism, and industrialism that had become the dominant impulse propelling Western civilization" (p.282). Brown emphasizes affinities between Fitzgerald's thinking and that of contemporaries also questioning the efficacy of modernism, among them philosopher George Santayana, poet James Russell Lowell, and art critic Bernhard Berenson.
After The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald did not publish another novel until 1934, when Tender is the Night — in Brown's view Fitzgerald's finest novel — appeared. Within the narrative framework of a dying marriage, Tender is the Night analyzes the "collapse of the old Victorian universe and its replacement by a brave new world dominated by hardened 'survivors' who had managed to pass through the carnage of the Great War seemingly without regret or reflection," only to inherit a "diminished social order bereft of compassion, sentimentality, or even the comforting consistency of . . . 'middle class love'" (p.11). In its criticism of a capitalist system in which money was the arbiter of power, prestige, and morality, Tender is the Night captured Fitzgerald's historical vision "more completely than anything else he ever wrote" (p.263).
With Zelda hospitalized, Fitzgerald ventured to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter. Hollywood seemed like an ideal location for Fitzgerald, a modern place with a special role in portraying and shaping American culture, as well as the geographic end point of the American frontier. Fitzgerald had an intimate relationship in Hollywood with Sheilah Graham, a British-born gossip columnist. Decidedly more stable than Zelda, Graham "may well have constituted a relationship of atonement for Fitzgerald. Accordingly, he both loved and begrudged her as the devoted caregiver whose mere presence affirmed his fallen star" (p.301). Fitzgerald "never liked living in California and found it impossible to mute his deeply ingrained aversion to the business-first mentality of the studio bosses," contributing further to a "sense of alienation on the West Coast" (p.12).
In the last portion of the book, Brown brings into focus Fitzgerald's relationship with his daughter Scottie. We don't learn much about Scottie's youth, but she must have had an exceedingly difficult childhood, given her mother's mental health problems, her father's alcoholism, and the tumultuous existence her parents lived together. While not discounting these factors in shaping Scottie's life, Brown emphasizes the depth of affection between father and daughter (he spends little time on the mother-daughter relationship). In passages from several letters which Brown quotes, Scottie shows an awareness of the degree to which she was denied a normal childhood. Yet, love plainly bound her to her father. Fitzgerald, for his part, was determined that Scottie be "self-sufficient, an equal partner, and to carry her share – all the things he had wished for in Zelda" (p.312).
Fitzgerald suffered a heart attack in late November 1940, as he was seeking to finish what would be his last novel, The Last Tycoon. He died amidst little fanfare on December 21, 1940, with The Last Tycoon appearing the following year. Zelda died in a fire in 1948 at Highland Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, where she was institutionalized.
Surprisingly, Fitzgerald's works sold far better after World War II than they had during his lifetime. His friend Edmund Wilson wrote that a cult had grown up around Fitzgerald after his death, which had "gone beyond mere admiration for the author of some excellent books. He had taken on the aspect of a martyr, a sacrificial victim, a semi-divine personage" (p.337). Several biographies on Fitzgerald appeared in the post-World War II period. In 1958, however, Sheilah Graham came out with Beloved Infidel, which disparaged all prior works on Fitzgerald. "This is not the Scott I knew" (p.343), she wrote. Approaching Fitzgerald's alcoholism and other demons with compassion, Graham emphasized his humor, humanity, and efforts to finish his last novel while ill. Wilson found her book to be by far the best on Fitzgerald. In Graham, he wrote, Fitzgerald had found an "effective advocate, just as the debate over the 'meaning' of his life was beginning to take shape" (p.344).
* * *
In this complex yet highly readable biography, Brown shines intriguing light upon Fitzgerald as a social commentator and cultural historian, the "annalist as novelist who recorded the wildly fluctuating fortunes of America in the boom twenties and bust thirties" (p.1). Fitzgerald was able to write as powerfully as he did about historical change in America because, as Brown ably demonstrates, he identified with the country in an intensely personal way.

I usually stay out of Internet scandals for a reason. I don't bring it up much, because my vagina doesn't actually have much to do with the way I game, but I am a woman, and sometimes being a woman gamer is weird. This is one of those times. I actually debated for awhile with myself whether I even wanted to MENTION this on my blog AT ALL, because I'd really prefer to not get rape and death threats, you know? But then I thought, "Hey, it's pretty fucked up that you're actually considering not mentioning something that upsets you on your OWN BLOG for fear that someone might post some shitty comments." And then I thought, "Man, you only get 25 hits a day on your blog anyway, so who gives a shit?"
Perhaps you have heard of #GamerGate? It's gotten pretty complicated in the past few days, so forgive me if any of this information is inaccurate.
Last week, Anita Sarkeesian posted a new video in her Tropes vs. Women in Video Games YouTube series. I haven't had a chance to watch the new video yet, because I just started a new job and I am super busy, but I've watched the other videos in the series, and I've quite enjoyed it. I don't agree with everything she has to say, but I like hearing her perspective, and I've certainly had uncomfortable moments with the depiction of women in games, so I think the ideas she puts forth are important to consider. Unfortunately, there's a highly vocal chunk of the Internet who disagrees and apparently wishes that she and her videos were bombarded with nukes or something, because the harassment she seems to endure whenever she releases a new video is staggering to behold. BoingBoing linked a great essay from the New Statesman that chronicles the issues that Sarkeesian is dealing with in great detail (like death threats so serious that she had to flee her house) and explains why her work is so valuable. It's worth a read if you'd like more details about the situation.
However, this simply served as an inciting incident for an unexpected maelstrom of Twitter updates and games journalists weighing in on the issue of sexism and discrimination in the gaming community and industry. One piece from The Guardian (written by a woman) attracted so much hateful Internet attention that the author has decided to back off from games journalism for awhile. Even Al Jazeera wrote a piece on the situation, so it's clear this is getting a lot of mainstream attention.
It's just baffling to me. If Sarkeesian had decided to create a webseries called Tropes vs. Women in Movies, I don't think anyone would have had a problem with it. No one would have accused her of being a "fake movie watcher" or a "social justice warrior movie watcher." Why is it that having the gall to both have a vagina and criticize the depiction of women in games paints a giant target on your head?
I'm a gamer. I'm a woman. Also, I am not a minority. I love JRPGs, and I still play them despite the fact that I am occasionally dismayed by how skimpy the female costumes are and how sexist some of the attitudes towards women are. I don't play a lot of the games that Sarkeesian cites as examples in her webseries, but that's more because I don't like playing shooters than because I don't think those games should exist. I think there should be games for everyone, from those who love playing GTA5 to those who want to play more games like Gone Home. And why shouldn't there be different games for different people? Not everyone likes watching moody indie films, but I don't see a lot of people arguing that there isn't a place for moody indie films and blockbuster Michael Bay films in today's world. Why should video games be any different?
There is a problem with diversity and representation in the gaming industry. Anyone who says otherwise need look no further than the droves of stories about women getting harassed in the gaming industry. Anyone who says otherwise need look no further than the top of this blog post where I mentioned that I was trepidatious about posting a piece about this on my own personal blog for fear of getting rape and death threats. It's sad to me that my favorite hobby sometimes feels like a scary and alienating place, and it's sad that the industry itself is clearly such a scary and alienating place to the women with the skills to make more games that I might like to play. Every creative industry is made stronger by the different kinds of voices contributing to the creation of more awesome things, and I want more awesome games to play! Isn't that what every gamer wants?
There's plenty of room in this world for both Duke Nukem Forever and Depression Quest. Let's keep it that way.

Jews who understand warnings in ancient prophecies should correct their attitudes and behaviors before God and be prepared to leave Israel immediately when the prophetic armies surround Jerusalem and the abomination of desolation sits in the Temple. A major event that will occur 3½ years before the return of Christ is the invasion and occupation of Israel by The Antichrist's alliance of nations. Anyone in Israel when it is invaded and occupied will experience one of the most horrible and terrifying times in history.
There are a number of warning signs before this invasion. The first of these signs is the proclaiming of God the Father's good news message by the elect of God scattered throughout the world, the high priest of the temple system in Jerusalem, and another person who is likely to be a high ranking government official of Israel. This good news message will include the proclamation that the Kingdom of God will soon be established on earth. About 3½ years before the return of Christ, the Jews and the elect of God who are in the nation of Israel will be given two very clear signs that the invasion and occupation of Israel is imminent. A person should immediately flee to survive and escape captivity.
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, and then recognize that her desolation is near. Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people." (Luke 21:20-23)
The reason that armies will surround Jerusalem is that an agreement will be made between the Antichrist's alliance of nations and the Israelis to guarantee their protection. After the agreement, there will be peace and prosperity in the Middle East for a short time in a volatile political environment between Jews and Arabs. This period of peace will allow the Jews to build a temple to worship their God in Jerusalem. When this temple is completed, the Jews will institute a sacrificial system at this temple. When this happens, the political scene will worsen dramatically, because the Jews will worship the only true God, and Israel's neighbors will become very hostile and will seek to destroy him.
The nations to the north and south of Israel will threaten to break their agreement of peace with Israel. Then, the king of the north who is the Antichrist and his alliance of nations will move against Egypt to honor its agreement to guarantee the peace. Egypt will be crushed along with several other Islamic nations in that geographical area, but the ancient nations of Amon and Moab, actual Jordan, will escape to protect the Jews fleeing from Israel per (Isaiah 16:1-5).
"At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through. He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon. Then he will stretch out his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape. But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels. But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him." (Daniel 11:40-45)
While the army of the Antichrist is crushing the Arabs in Northern Africa, the Islamic nations to the north and east, such as Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, will indicate that they are also about to break their peace agreement with Israel. When this happens, the alliance of nations will send its army to Israel and Jerusalem under the pretense of protecting Israel from an invasion. The Israelis will welcome the protection of their allies' powerful army and they will feel secure from their neighbors' threat of invasion. However, the intentions of the Antichrist are more sinister for he intends to invade, destroy and remove Israel as an obstacle to his plan of world domination.
"Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak." (Matthew 24:15-18)
The Apostle Paul refers to the future Abomination of Desolation.
"Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the Apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God." (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
The son of perdition is the Antichrist, leader of the alliance of nations called the Beast, and he will desecrate the temple; he is the desolating abomination. This powerful spirit masqueraded as a human will arrogantly desecrate the temple of the true God in Jerusalem by entering into it and sitting there in defiance of the true God. The Antichrist will attempt to prove to the world that he is indeed a god, and that the true God is not god.

Byzantine Museum
The Byzantine Museum of Kastoria hosts collections of icons, sculpture, mosaics, wooden-carved objects, ecclesiastic objects (manuscripts, liturgical vessels etc) dating back from the 12th to the 17th century. It is a museum of great importance where the visitor can witness the different time periods and expressions of Byzantine art. It is built on the top of the hill of the Byzantine acropolis and it is hosted in a modern building.
The Byzantine Museum of the city hosts one of the most complete collections of Byzantine icons in the world, coming from the numerous Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches of the region. The 550 portable icons belonging to the permanent exhibition of the museum are perfectly maintained and they are excellent examples of the ecclesiastic art of the time.
These icons, which date from the second half of the 12th up to the 17th c., are divided into six units based first on their date and second on the artistic workshop to which they belong. They represent isolated faces or multiple persons arranged in a conventional space, which underlines the transcendence and the spirituality of figures.
Some of the most important exhibits are: the icon of Prophet Elijah dating back to the 12th century, with an austere figure, which is the product of a major art centre of the time; the icon of Saint Nicolas dating back to the 12th century, is painted on a silver background and is surrounded by ten scenes from the saint's life; the Icon of Christ Pantocrator, dating back to the 14th century, with a votive inscription by monk Neilos. (Dexamenis Square, tel. 2467026781).
Costume Museum
This museum introduces the visitor to the daily life of the people of Kastoria in the previous centuries, through the clothes they were wearing. The costumes along with the jewels accompanying them, are one of the most live expressions of folk culture. They depict, through their diversity and special traits, the way of living, the social structure and the contacts of the inhabitants of this regionwith Europe and the rest of the world. The Museum is housed in the mansion of Emannouel brothers, an excellent example of traditional architecture built in 1750 and its exhibits include men and women costumes, children costumes as well as a rich collection of jewels from the broader region. It is run by Armonia, a music and literary association in charge of the enrichment and maintenance of the collection.
Folklore Museum
In one of the most picturesque streets in the city, one can meet the mansion of Nerandzis-Aïvazis, which since 1975, houses the Museum. The Museum hosts the material relics of the region, objects from the everyday life in the house and the work place, objects associated with ceremonies and celebrations. The visitor can tour in the impressive "krevata", the hall that used to host the formal ceremonies and celebrations, the "kalos ontas" (master bedroom), as well as the summer everyday room that now hosts a representation of a fur workshop. The wall painting decorating the interior of the building is very impressive. It represents a nostalgic landscape of Constantinople. Paintings used to cover the largest part of the house, but when the owners whitewashed the walls, as recommended by doctors, in order to prevent tuberculosis, most of the decorative elements lost. In the mansion's shed, we can see the kneading room, the food cellar and the wine cellar. (tel. 2467028603).
The archaeological site of Dispilio and the Eco-museum are 7 kilometres from the city, on the south side of the lake. A lake settlement of the Neolithic Era, developed around the lake from the middle of the 6th millennium BC to the middle of the 4th millennium BC has been excavated here. Eco-museum that has been integrated in "Life" program since 1996 and is open to the public since 2000, is an attempt to represent the settlement. It gives the opportunity to the visitor to better approach the way of living of its inhabitants.
In the space of the museum, there are huts built on pile platforms, constructed in their normal size and with materials that are similar to the original ones. Tree trunks were used for the shell, thin branches stranded with rope for the walls, lake mud for the "plaster" and straws for the roof. In the interior of these houses of the lake's Neolithic people, one can see everyday-life objects. Earthen pots, such as bottles, mugs, fruit bowls and kettles, tools made of firestone or bones, baskets and a small fire place give a clear picture of the life and the activities of the inhabitants. Fishing, hunting, earth cultivation and stockbreeding were their main activities. (tel. 24670 85406)

11 June 2011
I'd like to begin with something that's not particularly difficult, or unfamiliar - it's just an interesting factoid, and something that makes for a good story.
Understanding the history of a concept, sometimes even the very name of something can really push you to understanding the concept itself, where a dry explanation of it would just confuse you.
In school, we all learn trigonometry in two ways:
By this, I mean the kind of tricks that Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual - using the shadow of a tree, a man's height and the length of the man's shadow to measure the height of the tree and so on.
Where we learn to prove things like
This is usually extremely rigorous, extremely boring, and nobody involved has the least idea what it's useful for.
The first is far too simple, and is basically the application of a set of formulae to the same or similar problems almost mechanically. The second, on the other hand, is just confusing, and most of us gave up and learned those things by rote, to vomit out on exam day and forget (at most) an hour after 1Just to make things clear, my teachers in school tried their best, and in a way, they succeeded; that's why I'm even able to appreciate these things at all - they were up against an oppressive syllabus and my own hard head…. Later, in more advanced settings, we use these formulae - again without really understanding, on more and more complex problems, sometimes never really involving measurement of lengths and heights, and finally end up with the idea that "Maths is difficult", and therefore any subject derived from maths - most interesting to me is signal processing, but pretty much anything else in science and engineering is even more opaque. In the "Not helping" category here, I'd add all the drama on (big/small)-screen2 Eureka, I'm looking at you where the scientist is a pencil-necked geek who "talks in math" as Radiohead put it, and pretty much every "Local author" book I've had in college, . Note for the non-Indians who came here by accident, "local authors" are the authors from within India who write sort of Cliff's Notes versions of the syllabus, making things easier for students, or so the theory goes. In reality, the books are generally pages of definitions and derivations with no context or explanation, which on the other hand, are easier to learn by rote and vomit in exams as described above. Note, this doesn't mean that all Indian authors are bad - "Local author" is merely a sub-genre that's designed for cramming. This is so in Engineering, and I'm sure it's the case in other disciplines also.
In all of this, nobody really explains where the terms "sine", "cosine" and "tangent" come from. We can figure out that "tangent" probably has something to do with the tangent of a circle, but what manner of beast is a "sine"? Learning what these names mean (or don't mean for that matter) can really go a long way.
So anyway, trigonometry has an incredibly long history - all the ancient structures we know of - pyramids, ziggurats, the Indus Valley cities and every ancient temple, church, mosque and other big monument - couldn't have been built without this basic knowledge. The ancient Egyptians described it (in the Rhind manuscript, I think), but my story starts in India, with this guy:
Aryabhatta is the most well-known of Indian mathematicians of the before-modern era, because he was one of the most prolific and insightful philosophers of his time. Later, his books were read by (among others) Arabs, who took this knowledge with them (along with the decimal system and so many other things) to the Middle East, from where Europeans picked it up. That is to say, the Arabs translated Aryabhatta's and other Indian mathematicians' works from Sanskrit to Arabic, the Europeans first from Arabic to Latin, and finally, from Latin to their vernaculars. Oddly enough, the same concepts were then brought back to India in the 19th and 20th centuries, and translated from English to our vernaculars, coming almost full circle, losing all meaning in the process.
And it's Aryabhatta's circles that give us the story…
Take a circle - any circle..
Now, a circle has chords, of which the diameter is a special case - it's the longest chord, and it always divides the circle into two equal halves. So, let's draw a diameter
and a chord.
If the chord is perpendicular to the diameter, it's always bisected by the diameter3Proof is left as an exercise to the reader because it gets in the way of my story. Let's define half-chord to mean (surprise surprise) half a chord.
Now, join this half-chord back to the centre of the circle
Now, no matter how you resize the circle and its components, the ratio between the half chord and the line joining its end to the center (in this diagram) is always the same. This line just happens to be a radius of the circle, because it joins a point on the circle to its centre.
Look at the centre of the circle, where the radius from the end of the half-chord comes and joins. There's an angle formed between this line and the first diameter we drew. This angle also remains the same, as you resize the circle. So, we have two things that remain constant:
This, in turn, means that we can relate the angle to this ratio, or rather, we can relate a function of the angle to this ratio:
This function is equal to the half-chord, if the radius is 1. In Sanskrit, "chord" is "jya", and "half" is "ardha", so Aryabhatta called this function the "ardha-jya" of the angle. The word "ज्य" (jyaa) actually means "bow-string" - imagine the arc of the circle to be a bow, and the chord to be its bow-string. He also defined a function that he called "koti-jya", which means something like other-half-chord. In our earlier diagram, this would be the half-chord drawn horizontally, instead of vertically.
For brevity, Aryabhatta often just said "jya" instead of "ardha-jya". When the Arabs took his works and translated them into Arabic, instead of translating the word "jyaa" as "bow-string", they ended up just transliterating it instead. The closest they could come to this word in Arabic was "jiva" or "jiba", which is meaningless in Arabic. Over time, it got reworked as "jaib", which means or "bay". In Latin, "bay" is "sinus", and thus, when the Europeans took the transliterated-and-mistranslated term from the Arabs, they (probably with much bewilderment) again translated it to "sinus", and when translating from Latin to other languages, just droppedthe -us prefix to get "sine". The Arabs also took the "koti-jyaa", and wrote it as ko-jiba, which came down to us (quite faithfully) as "cosine".
And so, a very appropriate term, "half the string of a bow" became "a bay", which is pretty much meaningless.
I was puzzled by the word [HTML_REMOVED]chord[HTML_REMOVED]. Doesn[HTML_REMOVED]t seem to connect w the musical meaning at all, but I looked it up and see that the spelling is correct. Never took Trig so this is mostly beyond me, but you explain things really well.

Ideal Candidates
Men and women who are ideal patients typically have various skin issues, such as hyperpigmentation, sun spots, uneven skin tone, rough dermal texture, and dull skin. Candidates should also be in overall good health, are nonsmokers, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have a realistic expectation of their cosmetic goals.
Procedure Technique
Our MicroLaserPeel treatments are performed on-site in one of our spa-like treatment rooms. During your treatment, you will lie down comfortably in our luxurious procedure chair as one of our aestheticians preps your skin. Once your skin is cleansed and free of any makeup, we will apply a topical anesthetic and use the handheld MicroLaserPeel device to gently glide over the target areas of your skin. Since this treatment utilizes laser technology, we will provide protective eyewear for you to wear during your procedure to increase your comfort and safety. MicroLaserPeel treatments usually last about 20 – 30 minutes.
What to Expect
You should expect your skin to start to peel within the first 24 – 48 hours of your treatment. This is an essential part of the healing process as the laser has specifically targeted dead and damaged skin cells on the epidermis. Once these dermal cells peel off, a new smooth layer of skin will be revealed within 3 – 5 days, but optimal results are usually seen at around day seven. Although the healing process may take a few days, makeup can be worn after about four days to cover up any residual redness. Typically, we recommend patients receive 2 – 3 treatments at around 6 – 8-week intervals.
Plan Your Procedure

- $300 - $800
