Julia's Garden Announcements ?: Shelter Ordinance Lifts in Texas this Friday, Summer School Update, Yearbooks and End of Year Item Collections
Good day, JG Community!
As you might already know, we Texans received some good news on Monday: Governor Abbott announced that our state will open up again starting this Friday, May 1st. In his speech, he included the opening of summer camps as a priority and government officials should be making recommendations soon. We will continue to update you via email and on the Parent Portal as more information becomes available.
Although our state is opening up, the order that Texas school campuses are to be closed is in place for the duration of the semester. While we are sad that we cannot gather, distance learning, Zoom calls and video chat supports are all still available to each of you. We also have a podcast that you can tune into for parenting re-boot from one of our past parent ed talks.
Ms. Danielle and Ms. Hedda are preparing you child's personal items to be returned to you. Be on the lookout for an email from one of them on how the procedure will look in the coming weeks.
We miss each you and look forward to the day when we will see each other again, live and in person. In the interim, our goal of having a school year book this year will become a reality after all! As a gift of gratitude to you and your child, Julia's Garden will mail you a 2019/2020 yearbook at the semester's end. We hope you will enjoy this keepsake over the summer and for years to come ❤.
Most sincerely,
Julia's Garden Office 🌸

Home of Rhett & Link fans - the Mythical Beasts!
I had an audition today and that inspired me to create a discussion about them!
So, share any funny story, epic fail, epic success, or anything interesting about auditions.
Here's my story. It's not much, but it's a start for the discussion.
Once, at Solo and Ensemble (basically a practice audition), I had my mom as my piano accompianist. They had a keyboard there, but my mom's only ever played on a real piano...so she had some trouble. Also, it didn't help that the music fell off the piano midway through the piece. I didn't notice any of this, because I was focusing on my solo. It was funny to hear about afterwards, though.
Shoo yea. Audition stories.
Views: 64
I always hated Solo & Ensemble! I had to go every year for piano and violin. One year, my hands were shaking pretty badly the whole time I was playing, and I could hear the judges whispering about it. It just made it worse. I still got a blue ribbon though. :) Another year I got in serious trouble with my violin teacher because I signed up for Level 2 instead of Level 1, like he had told me to. I didn't think I was good enough for Level 1 yet. When I came out of the room with my high score, he was super excited thinking I was going to state. He was super mad. That was a scary man...good violin teacher...strict, scary guy.
I went a year or two later to watch my best friend play (drums). We got in the parking lot, he opened his trunk, and oops! Forgot his drums. lol His parents were not happy.
Auditions... hmmm, well lets see, here's a story for you guys:
So way back in elementary I was trying out for my first solo and it was a small piece in which I sang one line for some really cheesy little kid song, that's only cute when kids sing it.
Anyways, I'm waiting in line behind about 10 other people and I'm all like got to stay positive. Eventually there is only one person in front of me and I got really nervous because it was almost my turn. So this girl gets up and starts singing... And HER VOICE IS FREAKIN' AMAZING!
Like really good!
So I'm all like, mortified, thinking I'll never get it when, lo and behold, the girl passes out!
Yup, she passed out cold in the middle of a high note, probably from anxiety.
Needless to say, I got the solo, but it always felt kind of... I don't know, underhanded.
But yes, auditions are definitely never without surprises! :D

REVIEWS Mediaeval Drama in England As the need for a new comprehensive treatment of the early English drama has been great for some time, the reader will turn with high hopes to Hardin Craig's large and attractively printed monograph, English Religious Drama 0/ the Middle Ages (Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1955, pp. 421, $6.50). The need is great, for the book which has been the undisputed standard work on the subject, E. K. Chambers's The Mediaeval Stage, is at least partly out of date. Such a statement can be made without discrediting Chambers's in many ways admirable account, as it appeared no less than fifty years ago, since which time much has been added to our knowledge. Moreover, Chambers's own and more recent survey of the subject in English Literature at the Close of the Middle Ages, good as it is, is too brief and conservative to replace The Mediaeval Stage. As for Karl Young's monumental Drama oj the Mediaeval Church, the only work that can rival Chambers's in quality and scope, it covers a somewhat different area of the field, being concerned with the early dramatic compositions of the Church throughout Western Europe rather than with later developments in the vernacular. Craig acknowledges a great debt to Young in his early chapters, but the core of his new book deals, like Chambers's, with the vernacular drama of mediaeval England. The subject of English Religious Drama is a vast and complex one demanding unusual scholarship. For such a task, one would think Craig to be one of the very few men sufficiently qualified. In this study he returns to the field of his earlier research (see his edition of Two Coventry Corpus Christi Plays for the E.B.T.S.), having since become known rather for his books on the Renaissance, and more particularly for his one-volume edition of Shakespeare, one of the best of the century. Yet the great expectations with which one therefore reads English Religious Drama are not wholly fulfilled. I have suggested that the subject of this book is similar to that of The Mediaeval Stage. This is not entirely true, for Craig does not discuss folkdrama , to which Chambers devoted his first volume. True to its title, English Religious Drama confines itself to liturgical, mystery, miracle, and morality plays. Yet the intimation that the book must be judged with Chambers's work in mind was made purposefully, and even though Craig makes no extravagant claims. Whether small or large, there was undoubtedly some interplay between folk- and religious drama in the Middle Ages, and thus the omission 226 REVIEWS 227 of any real discussion of folk-drama in the book is a serious matter. The book has yet more serious weaknesses. It reads less well than Chambers's and covers the vast areas of its subject unevenly. Much as there is to admire in some of his chapters, Craig lets the reader down in others. Whoever intends to use his book as an extensive modern survey of the subject must do so with caution. For some of bis errors or inadequacies, Craig certainly deserves our sympathy; for seldom has a scholarly treatment of such scope been more unfortunately timed. It was in the press when Grace Frank's admirable Mediaeval French Drama appeared, and Craig was perhaps necessarily ignorant of F. M. Salter's startling discoveries relating to the Chester plays in particular but involving our view of many matters concerning the mediaeval stage as a whole, which he provided in his Alexander lectures (reviewed in April 1956). To cite but one example: on pages 168-70 Craig follows Chambers and others in linking Ranulf Higden, author of the Polychronicon , with the Chester plays. He does not believe that Higden was the author-for he generally adopts the sound view that mystery plays are, like bal1ads, of anonymous origin-but he regards him as a "translator or redactor ." Arthur Brown's article concerning Sir John Arneway. the mayor of Chester who has also been linked traditionally with the Chester plays, leads him to modify further Chambers's ingenious argument. How wrongly will appear when one...

Good Hook For Persuasive Essay???
Good Hook For Persuasive Essay???
Im writing a persuasive essay for selling kidneys and i am for it? im having troubles writing a good hook.,,,,what shuld i do
10 pts for best help /examples
Well, the way I write persuasive essay intros is start with a general description, then become more and more specific. Intro paragraphs are always structured this way, in 5 sentences:
1. General idea
2. Adding more information to general idea
3. Turning point, very specific, but not there yet
4. Nail the exact topic
5. Name your point of view.
Remember, never use personal pronouns (I, you, me, etc.)!
In today's world, there have been many controversial points of interest (GENERAL IDEA). These topics range from medical decisions to politics (SPECIFYING THE GENERAL IDEA). Points of controversy in medical decisions may include abortions, transplants, and vegetative state (ALMOST THERE). One of the most talked-about matters amongst many is selling organs, such as kidneys (NAME WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT). Selling kidneys should not be frowned upon for a number of reasons (YOUR POINT OF VIEW).
After that, you'd write the rest of your essay about the matter.
Of course, this is just an example. You'd use better vocabulary and proper punctuation, right?

Julio Le Parc will today be the most prominent figure of The Night of Museums, the expected event in the city of Buenos Aires, which will take place between 20 and 3 in the morning on Sunday. His work can be seen in various public and private spaces for free, and he himself is responsible for an extraordinary environment: the illumination of the obelisk. On Friday night, Le Parc was in the process of preparation and spoke specifically to the public in Infobae .
After decades of research in light and motion, Le Parc, one of the great representatives of kinetic and contemporary art, will use the technique mapping for the first time to project a large number of works and effects in one of the largest Buenos Aires emblems. It is an unprecedented fact that within the framework of the night of the museums and in the national tribute Julio Le Parc-Un visionary organized by the Ministry of Culture in the city of Buenos Aires. It will be a free and never before seen cultural event in the public space.
But there will be much more Le Parc.
In the National Museum of Fine Arts on Libertador Avenue, there will be talks about the work of the great Argentine artist and some of them will also be using sign language, specially designed for hearing impaired or hearing impaired. The exhibition "Transition Buenos Aires-Paris (1955-1959)" by MNBA examines from more than 100 works the artistic, aesthetic and conceptual development of a key figure in international art, a pioneer in kinetic and optical art. During the opening of the Buenos Aires-Paris crossing, Le Parc told a small but important story, when he was still a teenager and participated with a friend in a picture competition at the zoo in Buenos Aires, a competition he won. But what enlightens his eyes, which reveal the experience, is not so much to have taken the first place or the "valuable book of impressionism" he had as a prize, but Antonio Berni was in the jury. Thus, shocked that he had been chosen by a referent, Le Parc knew that in his veins there was art, that light came out of his eyes.
In the Galician Tower, located in Pte. Tte. General Juan D. Perón 430 opens its doors during Museum Night. Admission will be free and free. Galicia incorporated the work Sphère Acier Miroir into the hall in its main corporate building. It is a mirrored steel sphere consisting of 2,692 metal parts, spread over 4.5 meters in diameter, which represents the continuous movement, dynamics and creativity, characteristic of the company's identity, which gives an experience unique and differentiated.
Sphère Acier Miroir will be accompanied by introductory talks to Le Parc's work, led by the artist's curator Mariano Guilmore, including 20 to 00 hours.
Time behind, his son Yamil, a great partner and producer of his father's work, told Infobae that the dream for the great artist was to be able to see a kind of "leparquization" of the city. The moment seems to have arrived.

Pusha T says that he is still working on his King Push album.
"I am feverishly," Pusha T says during an interview with Billboard. "I love that word so much these days. I am feverishly trying to finish King Push, and get some music out this month. It's a real easy thing -- just a couple different pieces that I feel like need to be in place."
The Virginia Beach, Virginia rapper says that touring impacts his recording process.
"When you make albums like I do, and it's based off fanfare and based off touring -- I make these albums and I get on the road," he says. "It's not really a radio-driven thing. I get on the road and I see my fans and I touch each and every last one of them. I do that for however long it takes. Then we start the process all over again, making music. So sometimes there's lag time."
Elsewhere in the interview, Pusha T says the title track of N.W.A's 1990 100 Miles And Runnin' EP is his favorite song from the Compton, California group.
"The energy of that video was like, everything to me," Pusha T says. "They just really articulated everything that I thought, while living on the extreme polar opposite coast, directly across from Los Angeles, California in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I didn't know what to expect over there, but they made me see the vision. I felt like whatever N.W.A said was law. When I looked at those videos, and saw them running from the police, I might have thought they were really running from the police. I was a child, and I was so engulfed -- I was in a trance, looking at this. They sold it to me. They sold it. They sold everything to me. They could have recorded those records last week, and they would be just as true."
Straight Outta Compton, the biopic focusing on the emergence of N.W.A in the late 1980s and early 1990s, earned more than $60 million last weekend, making it the #1 film in the country.

Commercial bank needs AKZ 57 billion for recapitalization
Luanda - The State-owned bank Banco de Comercio e Industria (BCI) needs 57 billion kwanzas for its recapitalization following a number of adjustments resulting from the assessment of asset quality and implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFR9).

The bank recapitalization is expected to follow two stages, the first to last until June 30 of 2020 with an overall 30 billion Kwanzas to be spent, being the second set to run up to December 2020 with amount estimated at 27 billion Kwanzas, as instructed by the Executive Decree of the Finance Ministry.
According to the note from the BCI Board of Directors that reached ANGOP on Friday, the IFR9 implementation implied the restatement of the 2018 financial statements, as well as the increase in impairment of credit and other assets of the 2019.
According to the document, as a consequence and in compliance with the measures of the Regulator, BCI says it has implemented a set of restrictive measures in the credit and investment items to reinforce the commitment to defend the interests of the stakeholders and the sustainability of the institution itself.
With a focus on its privatization, BCI has redefined its vision, mission and values, based on the modernization, efficiency and consistency of the services.
The Finance Ministry with 98.92 percent of the share capital, is the highest shareholder being the remainder split among public companies.

What to Consider When Choosing a 24 Hour Locksmith
Are you searching for a locksmith that can help you with the lock trouble you have? Detailed below are some important factors to have in mind when choosing the right person for the job.
Consider the Options You Have
First off, it is important for you to know the available locksmith services that you can hire. If you are using such a service for the first time, it is important for you to get an understanding of what you have to work with. You can do this best by researching online and getting to find out what some of your options are. Have a list of the different options that you come across. That way, you will be able to look at what each one has to offer you, and make comparisons. After making your comparisons, you can then easily narrow down to the one that suits you the most.
Consider the Cost
You then need to think about how much money you will need to pay when working with this locksmith. You may pay varying prices depending on what you want to have done. This is why you need to do your best to get an idea of what you will need to pay. Shop around for the different options first. Consider the cost of getting the service done by various locksmiths. But, you need not only think about just the cost. In as much as you want a good deal, you need to ensure that you are getting value for your money.
Have the Reputation in Mind
Speaking of value, you need to find out what the reputation of the service provider is. This is necessary as you do not want to use a locksmith service that offers no value. Knowing the reputation can be a challenge when you have not learned much or worked with the service provider before. The good news is that you can find out about the value you will get through various ways. With the help of reviews, testimonials, and recommendations, you will be able to find exactly what you need to know.
Look at Online Reviews
Another important thing that you need to take into serious consideration when choosing such a service provider is looking at the reviews, which are available online. Using a review will help you to learn what the merits and demerits of hiring a certain locksmith could be.
Consider Recommendations
Lastly, it could be that you are already aware of a friend that has worked with a locksmith before. All you need to do is ask around and you will find someone that can recommend to you the best service provider. The web should also be a place where you can find recommendations. But, make sure you research even after getting the recommendations.

Tradie jailed over arson attack and drug haul
A BITTER Bellingen tradie who hid out in Queensland after orchestrating an arson attack on his rival neighbour's 100-year-old homestead has been sentenced to more than five years jail.
Glenn Kenneth Corda was extradited from Mackay in June last year following an exhaustive police investigation into the fire at the Brierfield property.
The 48-year-old's neighbour Mark Taylor was out to dinner the night his heritage home went up in flames in December, 2011.
He suffered burns to his hands when he returned home and tried fight the blaze.
Petrol was found at the scene and police were told a gold ute had been seen fleeing the area around the time of the fire.
In the months that followed there were rumours the fire had been an insurance job but Mr Taylor remained adamant an ongoing neighbourhood dispute between he and Mr Corda, who had moved to Mackay, was the likely cause.
Eventually detectives discovered Corda had paid two teenagers $500 each to break into the property, douse the home in petrol and set it alight.
Phone taps later revealed Corda also had crops of marijuana plants growing in the nearby state forest.
Soon after, investigating officers flew to Mackay with an arrest warrant.
Documents tendered in the Mackay Magistrates Court described Corda as the "mastermind" of the arson attack and "well known stand-over man...entrenched in organised crime" and the local drug trade.
This week he fronted the Coffs Harbour District Court charged with accessory before the fact to aggravated break and enter and arson, cultivating a commercial quantity of cannabis, supplying a prohibited drug and contravening an apprehended violence order.
He was sentenced to a total of five years and six months with his earliest possible release date of June 27, 2016.
He will also undergo drug and alcohol counselling.

There's a spider outside the magistrates' court.
He's roughly the size of a Volvo – one of those big estate ones. It's funny you don't notice him more, but I guess he's just a naturally inconspicuous sort of person.
And he's a retiring personality. He stays out of the way for the most part; somewhere off down to the left, out of sight, out of mind. But every now and then, especially when it gets a bit breezy, he'll get up and wander up to the court building door, and knock.
The guy comes out. I don't know his name. He's a big fellow; large-built – you wouldn't want to mess with him, unless you were… well, a spider the size of a Volvo estate, maybe. But he has a friendly nature, and the spider never causes any problems; they seem to get on well.
"Hey, dude," says the spider, with a tip of his hat. "Just checking everything's okay." The big man smiles, and nods.
"Everything's good, my friend," he says. "Very good. How're you?"
"Oh, fair to middling, you know. Mustn't grumble."
They stand for a moment, the big man and the spider, looking around. It's a comfortable silence, as between two old buddies who don't need to talk all the time; who can just enjoy each other's company.
"Well," the spider says at length, "I'd better get back. No rest for the wicked, is there?" The man shakes his head in wry agreement.
"Never, man," he says. "But all right: you take care now. I'll see you soon."
"Not if I see you first," the spider jokes, and gives that particular all-over body-shake that stands in for a wave of the hand (it can look a bit odd when you first see it, but among spiders a wave of the arm is usually a challenge, you see). And then he turns and make his way back to his little corner, down to the left.
The big man smiles, goes back inside, and shuts the door, and the business of the court goes on.

Free Download [Thriller Book] ☆ The Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family - by Ron Chernow ✓
Bankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German and, later, of German American Jewry They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries, endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents But their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods forBankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German and, later, of German American Jewry They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries, endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents But their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods for anti Semitism, and their sense of patriotism became increasingly dangerous in a Germany that had declared Jews the enemy.Ron Chernow s hugely fascinating history is a group portrait of a clan whose members were renowned for their brilliance, culture, and personal energy yet tragically vulnerable to the dark and irrational currents of the twentieth century.
Ron Chernow
Ron Chernow was born in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York After graduating with honors from Yale College and Cambridge University with degrees in English Literature, he began a prolific career as a freelance journalist Between 1973 and 1982, Chernow published over sixty articles in national publications, including numerous cover stories In the mid 80s Chernow went to work at the Twentieth Century Fund, a prestigious New York think tank, where he served as director of financial policy studies and received what he described as a crash course in economics and financial history Chernow s journalistic talents combined with his experience studying financial policy culminated in the writing of his extraordinary first book, The House of Morgan An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance 1990 Winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Nonfiction, The House of Morgan traces the amazing history of four generations of the J.P Morgan empire The New York Times Book Review wrote, As a portrait of finance, politics and the world of avarice and ambition on Wall Street, the book has the movement and tension of an epic novel It is, quite simply, a tour de force Chernow continued his exploration of famous financial dynasties with his second book, The Warburgs 1994 , the story of a remarkable Jewish family The book traces Hamburg s most influential banking family of the 18th century from their successful beginnings to when Hitler s Third Reich forced them to give up their business, and ultimately to their regained prosperity in America on Wall Street.Described by Time as one of the great American biographies, Chernow s Titan The Life of John D Rockefeller, Sr 1998 brilliantly reveals the complexities of America s first billionaire Rockefeller was known as a Robber Baron, whose Standard Oil Company monopolized an entire industry before it was broken up by the famous Supreme Court anti trust decision in 1911 At the same time, Rockefeller was one of the century s greatest philanthropists donating enormous sums to universities and medical institutions Chernow is the Secretary of PEN American Center, the country s most prominent writers organization, and is currently at work on a biography of Alexander Hamilton He lives in Brooklyn Heights, New York.In addition to writing biographies, Chernow is a book reviewer, essayist, and radio commentator His book reviews and op ed articles appear frequently in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal He comments regularly on business and finance for National Public Radio and for many shows on CNBC, CNN, and the Fox News Channel In addition, he served as the principal expert on the AE biography of J.P Morgan and will be featured as the key Rockefeller expert on an upcoming CNBC documentary.
This saga of a German-American family of jewish bankers was on my bucket list for quite some time. After starting the book right after Christmas 2016, I finished it in only ten days, much faster than I thought. Being written by one (if not the) of my favourite authors when it comes to biographies this was (once again) an easy read. As always, Ron Chernow with this book lives up to his reputation as a brillant resercher and storyteller. Mastering the task of bringing together the story of numerou [...]
The negatives: hard to keep track of all the characters.The positives: a remarkeable story, the family lived through important and interesting parts of US/European/World history. The most interesting parts were about the German Jewish families perspective on the rise of Nazism. Overall: worth reading but definitely an investment.
The Warburg's were a banking giant out of Hamburg Germany. They started in the 19th Century in the banking industry because of European anti-Semitism. Laws did not allow Jewish families to own land so Jews were diverted to occupations other than farming. The Warburg's saw the fellow Jewish family Rothschild's amass a fortune. They followed suit.They became exports in international finance. This helped them avoid Nazi persecution. The Nazi's were very naïve when it came to world finance. [...]
If Ron Chernow's book The Warburgs were a bank, it would certainly fail. His high-interest bearing account, that of a Jewish banking dynasty that stretches back six generations to pre-industrial Europe, is bloated and inefficient. Chernow exhibits no economy of words nor judicious standards for what to include versus what to cut. And there are enough adjectives deposited in the book's 700+ pages to make administrators of even the stingiest of deposit insurance schemes wince. Thankfully for t [...]
Aaron Million
Ron Chernow has gone on to have a prolific career as an author, most recently with a biography of Ulysses S. Grant. But this book is one of his earlier successes. Before Chernow switched to leading political figures, he enmeshed himself in financial and banking history, but from the personal side of things – focusing on the personalities that made and controlled large amounts of money, rather than the system itself. And so that is what the reader finds here in The Warburgs. Chernow chronicles [...]
Rachelle Urist
In many respects, this book deserves 5 stars. It's written with economy, erudition, skilled research, sophistication and passionate engagement with this family and their significance in world history. Why only 3 stars? Because the research becomes dry and even tiresome. I quickly lost track of who's who, as one often does while reading classic Russian novels. Maybe this book requires a character list at the outset, one the reader can consult when confused. Still, it's clear that Ron Chernow know [...]
Cynthia Haggard
Ron Chernow's THE WARBURGS is a long, 722-page book, about a family of bankers, who originated in Venice with the name of del Banco. They fled Italy in the 16th century when Venetian Jews were herded into the ghetto, and went to Warburg, Germany. Taking the name of that town, they moved to Altona near Hamburg in the seventeenth century before moving to Hamburg itself in the eighteenth century, opening the still-privately-owned bank there in 1798.As you would expect, this is a rich, sprawling h [...]
Chernow is a brilliant biographer, and The Warburgs definitely showcases his meticulous, easy narrative style.The challenge with documenting an entire family is that the characters over 4 generations are increasingly difficult to keep track of. There is also so much information that, in this case, it would have been better to trim some and tighten up the narrative.
A long slog but keeps you in the narrative pretty well. A fascinating story but if you want it in a concise, easy to read format this isn't for you-the story could be told in half the length without losing much.
Ron Chernow captures the history of the Warburgs (their rise and fall, accomplishments and failures) with his detailed research and excellent storytelling skills.
Jerel Wilmore
Fascinating history of a fascinating family.
This is the second Ron Chernow book I've listened to on audiobook (the first being the mesmerizing Alexander Hamilton). Being a book about a large family, it was a bit of a challenge keeping the various characters straight.The history covers 1600 through present day for a Jewish-German family. As you might expect, the most interesting part revolves around the build up to and action during WWII. It is interesting to hear about the experience of well-off German Jews (as contrasted with poor Jews f [...]
I think part of this might be the fault of reading the kindle version and not being able to easily flip back to the family tree, but there were sooooo many people—many of which had similar names—that it was hard to keep everyone straight. Additionally, there was a lot of hopping between their stories and that didn't help. Again, Chernow explores a massive amount of information, but at times it's unnecessary or drawn out too much. Still, I found the exploration of the impact of Zionism on 193 [...]
I loved Chernow's award National Book Award winning "The House of Morgans" some years back and have intended to read another Chernow for a while. One-third into "The Warburg", I'm impressed with the density of Chernow's historical references in detail. I'm almost wondering if he was conscripted (word choice: it's mostly about war times) to produce this volume of facts to inspire future study, sort of like throwing down a gauntlet for any challenges to his thoroughness. At a minimum, many future [...]
This is one of Ron Chernow's excellent biographies of guilded age plutocrats. Unlike his other exceptional on Morgan and Rockefeller, this is a biography of a very distinguished that included important bankers, politicians, and even an important art historian. Chernow is really good at providing a critical biography that also is a good story and one well tied in with the economics of the times. In this case, the times (Europe, especially Germany from WWI to WWII) are particularly interesting as [...]
It's a very good biography of a family as far as these things go, and remarkably clear when dealing with the history of banking, for example. The pages devoted to the real genius of the family, Aby Warburg, are a bit lacking unfortunately, probably because the author isn't so familiar with the art historian's groundbreaking contributions to the discipline. A very enjoyable read overall, and the massive amount of research that must have lead to it doesn't make it boring or anything. The three sta [...]
Bill Yeadon
I listened to the audio version (32 Hours). The Warburgs are basically the German version of the Rothchilds. While the family had been around since the 1600's the book mostly focuses on the 20th century. The troubles they faced during the run up to WWII were endless. It always amazes me how many people of Jewish descent that did not leave Germany until it was too late.Even though the book covers 4 centuries of progress, tumult, and tragedies, it is really about the interactions of the families.I [...]
Georgia Roybal
The Warburgs was quite a long book, but a very interesting one about a family which has contributed much to the economic and cultural systems both in United States and Europe. Mr. Chernow draws detailed character sketches of various family members. You really come to feel like they are your neighbors. One feeling I came away from this book feeling is that, no matter how rich or talented your family is, there are faults and foibles. Another feeling I had is the total stupidity of the Nazis. Forci [...]
This is a great story of the rise and fall and rise of a family of German Jewish bankers, as they found a bank in Hamburg, and then follow the thread of anti-Semitism through the end of the 19th century and then through World Wars I and II. Chernow does a great job of communicating the internal Warburg struggles in addition to painting the picture of their role in international banking and the support of displanted Jews throughout Europe.
I did not know anything about the Warburgs before I began this book. Chernow is my favorite biographer and this book is another fantastic work. As always, I feel he gave an even handed accounting of the family. This book is really several biographies in one and the only drawback to reading was keeping the characters straight. The book does a thorough job of putting the family in focus through the 20th century and how the responded and recovered from persecution.
Lauren Albert
Group biographies are difficult for writers to handle well, in my experience. Trying to smoothly move between subjects can still leave readers confused. Chernow handled it very elegantly--I never felt lost when he shifted between family members or branches of the family. I did sometimes get lost simply because there were so many people to remember and had to resort to peeking again at the family tree thoughtfully included at the beginning of the book.
This is a very fascinating book. It gives a great foundation to the history of finance and the role of international finance in the World Wars. I do not have a background in finance and my history knowledge is about high school level, but Chernow packs a lot of info into a text that is accessible to readers like me.
A very interesting and detailed book on an important German -Jewish family that provides interesting perspectives on World War I, World War II, the Great Depression, world finance, and Jewish assimilation into Western society. There was a lot to like - but it would have been even better with 250 fewer pages. A lot of detail could have been cut without sacrificing the quality of the book.
Kathleen Boozang
Not my favorite Chernow book. I am engrossed by any history of world war II and this is certainly different subject matter. It could have used one more aggressive edit as it was just this much too long.
I loved the generational span of the book. It give you as sense of history through the eyes of a single family. Some of the facts are fascinating, you just couldn't make this stuff up.
A really amazing story of an extended family that subtley dominated a large part of the world financial systems for over a century
not usually my kind of book, but I liked it so much I htink I'll look for his other book hard copy withhpefully a bit bigger print!
Jaan Liitmäe
Starting anew in America was the best part!
Great story of a remarkable family. It's a bit long winded through parts of the middle, but when it comes to showing this much detail about such an interesting topic, it's forgiven.
Tommy Powell
Great writing about an amazing family. For everyone who tends to look at the successful with envy this single biography is a must read.

But there is significant evidence that it is destructive both at an individual and societal level.Zaklog the Greathttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146213149792087216.post-69181661579080958162019-11-19T08:55:23.934-06:002019-11-19T08:55:23.934-06:00A correction: the verse about speaking to trees is...A correction: the verse about speaking to trees is actually Habakkuk 2:18.

We know that a man is a soul with a body, rather than the reverse, but many of those caught in the web of the Pop Cult or the Death Cult do not, particularly if they've received the materialist anti-faith. They may call themselves a-religious, or 'spiritual but not religious,' without understanding that everyone worships something, even if the worshiper cannot name the idol. This is something that saddens me about clever atheists. They proclaim that there is no God, but they have gods nonetheless.

I wonder how we can, as Our Lord came to do, "proclaim liberty to the captives" if those captives cannot even see their chains.A Readerhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146213149792087216.post-45042114654887092332019-11-18T23:46:40.435-06:002019-11-18T23:46:40.435-06:00If anything, the argument that anything-goes-porn ...If anything, the argument that anything-goes-porn is "free expression" has massively undermined the status of political free speech.

Some of the ancient sorts of paganism (Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and the like) still do, but there are many western pagans who worship bits and bytes and notions that stroke their egos. They code them, draw them, and point cameras at them. We talked about Jeremiah 51 in Sunday school this week. Folks who try talk to trees are silly, but it's an understandable sort of silliness.

My name's Emmett. And I'm a libe..."Hi. My name's Emmett. And I'm a libertarian."

Well, recovering libertarian. Up until about ten years ago, I was a staunch libertarian. I think the shallow idealism of it appealed to me as much as Socialism and Marxism appeal to the Fellow Travelers.

It wasn't until I had my religious re-awakening, if you will, around the time of my children's birth that I left libertarianism behind. I'm not a terribly introspective man, (odd because I am an introvert...) so its possible that I left libertarianism behind before my religious re-awakening. Chicken/Egg... I'm just not sure.

But there were two major libertarian stances that really became the deal breakers:

1) Abortion

My children (fraternal twins) were born very, very premature. So premature in fact that they could have been legally aborted by my wife, without my say so. And yet, when I met them at one day old, tucked away in their isolettes and covered in telemetry wires, it was apparent even then that they had unique, distinct personalities that have stayed they same pretty much to this day.

That shook my shallow, callow libertarian core though I don't know if I had the wherewithal to express it immediately. My children were a gift from God in more ways than one.

2) Legalization of Marijuana

I am somewhat unique. In my youth, I was very, very liberal and anti-law enforcement (raised by two ex-hippies to be a Good Leftist) and (even to this day) have never tried marijuana, let alone the harder drugs. A lot of this is because I watched a number of cousins destroy their lives with substance abuse. And marijuana was usually the first step. I wanted nothing to do with it.

Additionally, the Marijuana Monomania that overtakes the libertarians just got to be too much. Whether they insist they are really just against the War on Drugs or whether they believe THC/CBD/Hemp to be the Miracle Cure for Everything...I just couldn't stand to listen to it anymore.

It wasn't long after all that that I found John C. Wright, a man who I credit with helping bring me back to Jesus Christ, though the man has never met me. And from John C. Wright to Vox Day.

And here we are! Deus Vult, and pass the ammunition.Emmett Fitz-Humehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146213149792087216.post-70345464015026086672019-11-18T18:16:50.202-06:002019-11-18T18:16:50.202-06:00This is the phenomenon of mostly younger adults--p...This is the phenomenon of mostly younger adults--particularly generations X, Y, and Millennials--attempting to fill the God-shaped hole in their lives with Hollywood, Big Two comics, and AAA gaming product.

It appears to me that a religion is largely (not entirely) a set of stories around which we orient our life morally and philosophically. If deprived of a set, people will pick another. Thus, I think it perfectly reasonable to say that some people have made a religion out of Star Wars or Harry Potter. Now, it's a shabby, low-grade religion, but a religion nonetheless. This even applies to people who call themselves Christian but have embedded those other stories far more deeply into their souls.

Be careful what stories you listen to. They can shape you far more than you may be aware.Zaklog the Greathttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

"Scribe" Charlotte Mont-d'Or[3] is the 19th son of the Charlotte Family and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Cheese (チーズ大臣 Chīzu Daijin?), governing over Cheese Island.[2] He is also a member of the Big Mom Pirates.[3]
Mont-d'Or is a lanky man with long limbs and a stocky abdomen. He has a rounded chin that sticks out, a long pointed nose, and a predominant slouch. He wears an open-chested, dark-colored jumpsuit with a skeleton pattern following the limbs and ribs. He also a dark-colored top hat with a light-colored ribbon, as well as dark lipstick and eye makeup in the shape of a single line going down each eyelid. His appearance is reminiscent of a child's skeleton Halloween costume.[1]
Mont-d'Or is very fearful of Charlotte Linlin. He also cared greatly for Moscato before he was killed by their mother, warning him not to show fear or he would lose his life.[1] When he saw his brother Cracker's defeated body, Mont-d'Or flew into a rage and wished to inflict physical harm on the attacker.[2] Mont-d'Or is also somewhat rude, speaking to a child in a scathing manner when asked about Moscato's status.[4] He is very suspicious, and even doesn't trust his older brother Opera.[5] He also seems quite authoritative, as he held and led a meeting with his brothers and sisters, and some Big Mom pirates and also gave orders to his underlings, disregarding what Opera said.
Abilities and Powers
As Minister of Cheese, Mont-d'Or has authority over Cheese Island in Totto Land.[2] He has a considerable reputation, as Germa Kingdom princes Vinsmoke Niji and Vinsmoke Yonji recognized him as a heavyweight within the Big Mom Pirates, which is notable given the vast size and strength of the crew.[3]
Devil Fruit
Mont-d'Or has seemingly eaten a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate books; he can levitate the books and use them as footholds. He can also place people under the illusion that they are inside a book's setting by hovering an open book over them, which he calls the World of "Books" ("本"の世界 "Hon" no Sekai?); such illusion will cease the instant the book is closed again.[6] He is able to trap things within the pages of a book, via pinning them in with a nail, where they will never age. It is possible to communicate with people trapped in the book from the outside world.[7] The bookmark can be inserted to manipulate the insides of its respective book.[8] By Jinbe's admittance, Mont-d'Or's ability is limited only by his imagination. However, people can be freed by burning up the books, though the people themselves will catch on fire in the process.[9]
While marching to attack Monkey D. Luffy, Mont-d'Or carried a rifle.[3]
Yonko Saga
Whole Cake Island Arc
When Charlotte Linlin suffered a craving for croquembouche, she went on a rampage and started devouring everything in Sweet City until her craving would be satisfied. Mont-d'Or was among the people who watched as Charlotte Moscato attempted to calm his mother, but she attacked him. Mont-d'Or warned him not to show fear, but his efforts were futile, as Moscato tried to flee and Big Mom killed him.[1]
After Big Mom left to speak with Jinbe, Mont-d'Or ordered the guards to carry away Moscato's body. A child asked him if Moscato was dead and if Jinbe would be alright. Mont-d'Or only suggested that his interaction with Big Mom will not have a good outcome.[4]
Two days later, Mont-d'Or and his siblings, Opera and Galette, witnessed their brother, Cracker, fly into the Whole Cake Chateau. While standing over the defeated Cracker, Mont-d'Or flew into a rage as he asked who the attacker was, wanting to get revenge.[2] Soon afterwards, Mont-d'Or and an army marched towards Luffy's location and began battling him.[10]
Mont-d'Or levitated several books as he walked, mocking Luffy for his poor performance in the battle. When Luffy attacked Opera, Mont-d'Or transported him into a book titled Suspense, and he appeared right in front of the pirate with his rifle pointed. After Luffy was defeated, Amande acquired a Vivre Card from Nami with Lola's name on it, and Mont-d'Or wondered if they stole the card from Lola. The army then returned to Sweet City to report the situation to Big Mom.[11] Mont-d'Or imprisoned Luffy and Nami inside a book in the Prisoner Library, and he later turned to the page they were kept in so Big Mom could talk to them through a Den Den Mushi.[12]
After Big Mom finished her conversation with the prisoners, Mont-d'Or laughed at how Luffy had challenged her. Anglais arrived to inform Mont-d'Or and his siblings that an intruder broke into the Room of Treasure.[13]
Much later, Mont-d'Or held a meeting with some of his crewmates, where they went over the current status of the Sanji Retrieval Team. Mont-d'Or heard affirmative reports of the capture of everyone except Luffy and Nami, and he inquired to Opera about the rumors of the duo's escape and Jinbe's involvement in it. Opera vehemently denied the rumors and claimed that he burned Luffy and Nami alive. After receiving affirmation that the members of the Vinsmoke Family were in their rooms, Mont-d'Or adjourned the meeting. However, not trusting Opera's testimony, he told the Chess Soldiers to continue keeping watch for Luffy and Nami.[5]
Mont-d'Or contacted the Chess Soldiers in front of the Vinsmoke Family room on a Den Den Mushi. He told the soldiers not to let the Vinsmokes contact a single person until the wedding ceremony the next day. Mont-d'Or was informed by one of the soldiers that they finished positioning some of the soldiers around the infirmary where Vinsmoke Reiju was located, and that the Vinsmokes could only await their fate. Mont-d'Or then ordered the soldier to stop blabbering.[14]
Mont-d'Or attended the Tea Party and rejoiced as the bride and groom rode in on Zeus.[15]
Major Battles
- Big Mom's army vs. Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, and King Baum
- Mont-d'Or vs. Luffy
- Mont d'Or is the French name for a type of "Vacherin", a cow's milk cheese made in France and Switzerland, which follows the eating/food-themed names of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates.
- Mont-d'Or's Devil Fruit is somewhat similar to Jora's Ato Ato no Mi, as it lets him trap three-dimensional beings in a two-dimensional world.
- Some of the species captured by his ability, and shown to the Vinsmoke Family by Big Mom in her library are references to minor characters from Lewis Carroll's novel series "Alice":
- The Griffin is a reference to the Gryphon from the first novel.
- The Manticore and the Unicorn are a reference to the nursery rhyme mentioned in the second novel.
- Mont-d'Or's appearance is similar to that of a scarecrow, possibly influenced by L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
- Further, his usage of books may be similar to the version of the Scarecrow portrayed by Michael Jackson in the 1978 film adaptation of the musical The Wiz, who was created not from straw but shredded up books and paper.
