THE first duty of the sovereign, that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion of other independent societies, can be performed only by means of a military force. But the expense both of preparing this military force in time of peace, and of employing it in time of war, is very different in the different states of society, in the different periods of improvement.
Among nations of hunters, the lowest and rudest state of society, such as we find it among the native tribes of North America, every man is a warrior as well as a hunter. When he goes to war, either to defend his society or to revenge the injuries which have been done to it by other societies, he maintains himself by his own labour in the same manner as when he lives at home. His society, for in this state of things there is properly neither sovereign nor commonwealth, is at no sort of expense, either to prepare him for the field, or to maintain him while he is in it.
Among nations of shepherds, a more advanced state of society, such as we find it among the Tartars and Arabs, every man is, in the same manner, a warrior. Such nations have commonly no fixed habitation, but live either in tents or in a sort of covered waggons which are easily transported from place to place. The whole tribe or nation changes its situation according to the different seasons of the year, as well as according to other accidents. When its herds and flocks have consumed the forage of one part of the country, it removes to another, and from that to a third. In the dry season it comes down to the banks of the rivers; in the wet season it retires to the upper country. When such a nation goes to war, the warriors will not trust their herds and flocks to the feeble defence of their old men, their women and children; and their old men, their women and children, will not be left behind without defence and without subsistence. The whole nation, besides, being accustomed to a wandering life, even in time of peace, easily takes the field in time of war. Whether it marches as an army, or moves about as a company of herdsmen, the way of life is nearly the same, though the object proposed by it be very different. They all go to war together, therefore, and every one does as well as he can. Among the Tartars, even the women have been frequently known to engage in battle. If they conquer, whatever belongs to the hostile tribe is the recompense of the victory. But if they are vanquished, all is lost, and not only their herds and flocks, but their women and children, become the booty of the conqueror. Even the greater part of those who survive the action are obliged to submit to him for the sake of immediate subsistence. The rest are commonly dissipated and dispersed in the desert.
The ordinary life, the ordinary exercises of a Tartar or Arab, prepare him sufficiently for war. Running, wrestling, cudgel-playing, throwing the javelin, drawing the bow, etc., are the common pastimes of those who live in the open air, and are all of them the images of war. When a Tartar or Arab actually goes to war, he is maintained by his own herds and flocks which he carries with him in the same manner as in peace. His chief or sovereign, for those nations have all chiefs or sovereigns, is at no sort of expense in preparing him for the field; and when he is in it the chance of plunder is the only pay which he either expects or requires.
An army of hunters can seldom exceed two or three hundred men. The precarious subsistence which the chase affords could seldom allow a greater number to keep together for any considerable time. An army of shepherds, on the contrary, may sometimes amount to two or three hundred thousand. As long as nothing stops their progress, as long as they can go on from one district, of which they have consumed the forage, to another which is yet entire, there seems to be scarce any limit to the number who can march on together. A nation of hunters can never be formidable to the civilised nations in their neighbourhood. A nation of shepherds may. Nothing can be more contemptible than an Indian war in North America. Nothing, on the contrary, can be more dreadful than Tartar invasion has frequently been in Asia. The judgment of Thucydides, that both Europe and Asia could not resist the Scythians united, has been verified by the experience of all ages. The inhabitants of the extensive but defenceless plains of Scythia or Tartary have been frequently united under the dominion of the chief of some conquering horde or clan, and the havoc and devastation of Asia have always signalized their union. The inhabitants of the inhospitable deserts of Arabia, the other great nation of shepherds, have never been united but once; under Mahomet and his immediate successors. Their union, which was more the effect of religious enthusiasm than of conquest, was signalized in the same manner. If the hunting nations of America should ever become shepherds, their neighbourhood would be much more dangerous to the European colonies than it is at present.
In a yet more advanced state of society, among those nations of husbandmen who have little foreign commerce, and no other manufactures but those coarse and household ones which almost every private family prepares for its own use, every man, in the same manner, either is a warrior or easily becomes such. They who live by agriculture generally pass the whole day in the open air, exposed to all the inclemencies of the seasons. The hardiness of their ordinary life prepares them for the fatigues of war, to some of which their necessary occupations bear a great analogy. The necessary occupation of a ditcher prepares him to work in the trenches, and to fortify a camp as well as to enclose a field. The ordinary pastimes of such husbandmen are the same as those of shepherds, and are in the same manner the images of war. But as husbandmen have less leisure than shepherds, they are not so frequently employed in those pastimes. They are soldiers, but soldiers not quite so much masters of their exercise. Such as they are, however, it seldom costs the sovereign or commonwealth any expense to prepare them for the field.
Agriculture, even in its rudest and lowest state, supposes a settlement: some sort of fixed habitation which cannot be abandoned without great loss. When a nation of mere husbandmen, therefore, goes to war, the whole people cannot take the field together. The old men, the women and children, at least, must remain at home to take care of the habitation. All the men of the military age, however, may take the field, and, in small nations of this kind, have frequently done so. In every nation the men of the military age are supposed to amount to about a fourth or a fifth part of the whole body of the people. If the campaign, should begin after seed-time, and end before harvest, both the husbandman and his principal labourers can be spared from the farm without much loss. He trusts that the work which must be done in the meantime can be well enough executed by the old men, the women, and the children. He is not unwilling, therefore, to serve without pay during a short campaign, and it frequently costs the sovereign or commonwealth as little to maintain him in the field as to prepare him for it. The citizens of all the different states of ancient Greece seem to have served in this manner till after the second Persian war; and the people of Peloponnesus till after the Peloponnesian war. The Peloponnesians, Thucydides observes, generally left the field in the summer, and returned home to reap the harvest. The Roman people under their kings, and during the first ages of the republic, served in the same manner. It was not till the siege of Veii that they who stayed at home began to contribute something towards maintaining those who went to war. In the European monarchies, which were founded upon the ruins of the Roman empire, both before and for some time after the establishment of what is properly called the feudal law, the great lords, with all their immediate dependents, used to serve the crown at their own expense. In the field, in the same manner as at home, they maintained themselves by their own revenue, and not by any stipend or pay which they received from the king upon that particular occasion.
In a more advanced state of society, two different causes contribute to render it altogether impossible that they who take the field should maintain themselves at their own expense. Those two causes are, the progress of manufactures, and the improvement in the art of war.
Though a husbandman should be employed in an expedition, provided it begins after seed-time and ends before harvest, the interruption of his business will not always occasion any considerable diminution of his revenue. Without the intervention of his labour, nature does herself the greater part of the work which remains to be done. But the moment that an artificer, a smith, a carpenter, or a weaver, for example, quits his workhouse, the sole source of his revenue is completely dried up. Nature does nothing for him, he does all for himself. When he takes the field, therefore, in defence of the public, as he has no revenue to maintain himself, he must necessarily be maintained by the public. But in a country of which a great part of the inhabitants are artificers and manufacturers, a great part of the people who go to war must be drawn from those classes, and must therefore be maintained by the public as long as they are employed in its service.
When the art of war, too, has gradually grown up to be a very intricate and complicated science, when the event of war ceases to be determined, as in the first ages of society, by a single irregular skirmish or battle, but when the contest is generally spun out through several different campaigns, each of which lasts during the greater part of the year, it becomes universally necessary that the public should maintain those who serve the public in war, at least while they are employed in that service. Whatever in time of peace might be the ordinary occupation of those who go to war, so very tedious and expensive a service would otherwise be far too heavy a burden upon them. After the second Persian war, accordingly, the armies of Athens seem to have been generally composed of mercenary troops, consisting, indeed, partly of citizens, but partly too of foreigners, and all of them equally hired and paid at the expense of the state. From the time of the siege of Veii, the armies of Rome received pay for their service during the time which they remained in the field. Under the feudal governments the military service both of the great lords and of their immediate dependants was, after a certain period, universally exchanged for a payment in money, which was employed to maintain those who served in their stead.
The number of those who can go to war, in proportion to the whole number of the people, is necessarily much smaller in a civilised than in a rude state of society. In a civilised society, as the soldiers are maintained altogether by the labour of those who are not soldiers, the number of the former can never exceed what the latter can maintain, over and above maintaining, in a manner suitable to their respective stations, both themselves and the other officers of government and law whom they are obliged to maintain. In the little agrarian states of ancient Greece, a fourth or a fifth part of the whole body of the people considered themselves as soldiers, and would sometimes, it is said, take a field. Among the civilised nations of modern Europe, it is commonly computed that not more than one-hundredth part of the inhabitants in any country can be employed as soldiers without ruin to the country which pays the expenses of their service.
The expense of preparing the army for the field seems not to have become considerable in any nation till long after that of maintaining it in the field had devolved entirely upon the sovereign or commonwealth. In all the different republics of ancient Greece, to learn his military exercises was a necessary part of education imposed by the state upon every free citizen. In every city there seems to have been a public field, in which, under the protection of the public magistrate, the young people were taught their different exercises by different masters. In this very simple institution consisted the whole expense which any Grecian state seems ever to have been at in preparing its citizens for war. In ancient Rome the exercises of the Campus Martius answered the same purpose with those of the Gymnasium in ancient Greece. Under the feudal governments, the many public ordinances that the citizens of every district should practise archery as well as several other military exercises were intended for promoting the same purpose, but do not seem to have promoted it so well. Either from want of interest in the officers entrusted with the execution of those ordinances, or from some other cause, they appear to have been universally neglected; and in the progress of all those governments, military exercises seem to have gone gradually into disuse among the great body of the people.
In the republics of ancient Greece and Rome, during the whole period of their existence, and under the feudal governments for a considerable time after their first establishment, the trade of a soldier was not a separate, distinct trade, which constituted the sole or principal occupation of a particular class of citizens. Every subject of the state, whatever might be the ordinary trade or occupation by which he gained his livelihood, considered himself, upon all ordinary occasions, as fit likewise to exercise the trade of a soldier, and upon many extraordinary occasions as bound to exercise it.
The art of war, however, as it is certainly the noblest of all arts, so in the progress of improvement it necessarily becomes one of the most complicated among them. The state of the mechanical, as well as of some other arts, with which it is necessarily connected, determines the degree of perfection to which it is capable of being carried at any particular time. But in order to carry it to this degree of perfection, it is necessary that it should become the sole or principal occupation of a particular class of citizens, and the division of labour is as necessary for the improvement of this, as of every other art. Into other arts the division of labour is naturally introduced by the prudence of individuals, who find that they promote their private interest better by confining themselves to a particular trade than by exercising a great number. But it is the wisdom of the state only which can render the trade of a soldier a particular trade separate and distinct from all others. A private citizen who, in time of profound peace, and without any particular encouragement from the public, should spend the greater part of his time in military exercises, might, no doubt, both improve himself very much in them, and amuse himself very well; but he certainly would not promote his own interest. It is the wisdom of the state only which can render it for his interest to give up the greater part of his time to this peculiar occupation: and states have not always had this wisdom, even when their circumstances had become such that the preservation of their existence required that they should have it.
A shepherd has a great deal of leisure; a husbandman, in the rude state of husbandry, has some; an artificer or manufacturer has none at all. The first may, without any loss, employ a great deal of his time in martial exercises; the second may employ some part of it; but the last cannot employ a single hour in them without some loss, and his attention to his own interest naturally leads him to neglect them altogether. These improvements in husbandry too, which the progress of arts and manufactures necessarily introduces, leave the husbandman as little leisure as the artificer. Military exercises come to be as much neglected by the inhabitants of the country as by those of the town, and the great body of the people becomes altogether unwarlike. That wealth, at the same time, which always follows the improvements of agriculture and manufactures, and which in reality is no more than the accumulated produce of those improvements, provokes the invasion of all their neighbours. An industrious, and upon that account a wealthy nation, is of all nations the most likely to be attacked; and unless the state takes some new measures for the public defence, the natural habits of the people render them altogether incapable of defending themselves.
In these circumstances there seem to be but two methods by which the state can make any tolerable provision for the public defence.
If the state has recourse to the first of those two expedients, its military force is said to consist in a militia; if to the second, it is said to consist in a standing army. The practice of military exercises is the sole or principal occupation of the soldiers of a standing army, and the maintenance or pay which the state affords them is the principal and ordinary fund of their subsistence. The practice of military exercises is only the occasional occupation of the soldiers of a militia, and they derive the principal and ordinary fund of their subsistence from some other occupation. In a militia, the character of the labourer, artificer, or tradesman, predominates over that of the soldier; in a standing army, that of the soldier predominates over every other character: and in this distinction seems to consist the essential difference between those two different species of military force.
Militias have been of several different kinds. In some countries the citizens destined for defending the states seem to have been exercised only, without being, if I may say so, regimented; that is, without being divided into separate and distinct bodies of troops, each of which performed its exercises under its own proper and permanent officers. In the republics of ancient Greece and Rome, each citizen, as long as he remained at home, seems to have practised his exercises either separately and independently, or with such of his equals as he liked best, and not to have been attached to any particular body of troops till he was actually called upon to take the field. In other countries, the militia has not only been exercised, but regimented. In England, in Switzerland, and, I believe, in every other country of modern Europe where any imperfect military force of this kind has been established, every militiaman is, even in time of peace, attached to a particular body of troops, which performs its exercises under its own proper and permanent officers.
Before the invention of firearms, that army was superior in which the soldiers had, each individually, the greatest skill and dexterity in the use of their arms. Strength and agility of body were of the highest consequence, and commonly determined the state of battles. But this skill and dexterity in the use of their arms could be acquired only, in the same manner as fencing is at present, by practising, not in great bodies, but each man separately, in a particular school, under a particular master, or with his own particular equals and companions. Since the invention of firearms, strength and agility of body, or even extraordinary dexterity and skill in the use of arms, though they are far from being of no consequence, are, however, of less consequence. The nature of the weapon, though it by no means puts the awkward upon a level with the skilful, puts him more nearly so than he ever was before. All the dexterity and skill, it is supposed, which are necessary for using it, can be well enough acquired by practising in great bodies.
Regularity, order, and prompt obedience to command are qualities which, in modern armies, are of more importance towards determining the fate of battles than the dexterity and skill of the soldiers in the use of their arms. But the noise of firearms, the smoke, and the invisible death to which every man feels himself every moment exposed as soon as he comes within cannon-shot, and frequently a long time before the battle can be well said to be engaged, must render it very difficult to maintain any considerable degree of this regularity, order, and prompt obedience, even in the beginning of a modern battle. In an ancient battle there was no noise but what arose from the human voice; there was no smoke, there was no invisible cause of wounds or death. Every man, till some mortal weapon actually did approach him, saw clearly that no such weapon was near him. In these circumstances, and among troops who had some confidence in their own skill and dexterity in the use of their arms, it must have been a good deal less difficult to preserve some degree regularity and order, not only in the beginning, but through the whole progress of an ancient battle, and till one of the two armies was fairly defeated. But the habits of regularity, order, and prompt obedience to command can be acquired only by troops which are exercised in great bodies.
A militia, however, in whatever manner it may be either disciplined or exercised, must always be much inferior to a well-disciplined and well-exercised standing army.
The soldiers who are exercised only once a week, or once a month, can never be so expert in the use of their arms as those who are exercised every day, or every other day; and though this circumstance may not be of so much consequence in modern as it was in ancient times, yet the acknowledged superiority of the Prussian troops, owing, it is said, very much to their superior expertness in their exercise, may satisfy us that it is, even at this day, of very considerable consequence.
The soldiers who are bound to obey their officer only once a week or once a month, and who are at all other times at liberty to manage their own affairs their own way, without being in any respect accountable to him, can never be under the same awe in his presence, can never have the same disposition to ready obedience, with those whose whole life and conduct are every day directed by him, and who every day even rise and go to bed, or at least retire to their quarters, according to his orders. In what is called discipline, or in the habit of ready obedience, a militia must always be still more inferior to a standing army than it may sometimes be in what is called the manual exercise, or in the management and use of its arms. But in modern war the habit of ready and instant obedience is of much greater consequence than a considerable superiority in the management of arms.
Those militias which, like the Tartar or Arab militia, go to war under the same chieftains whom they are accustomed to obey in peace are by far the best. In respect for their officers, in the habit of ready obedience, they approach nearest to standing armies. The highland militia, when it served under its own chieftains, had some advantage of the same kind. As the highlanders, however, were not wandering, but stationary shepherds, as they had all a fixed habitation, and were not, in peaceable times, accustomed to follow their chieftain from place to place, so in time of war they were less willing to follow him to any considerable distance, or to continue for any long time in the field. When they had acquired any booty they were eager to return home, and his authority was seldom sufficient to detain them. In point of obedience they were always much inferior to what is reported of the Tartars and Arabs. As the highlanders too, from their stationary life, spend less of their time in the open air, they were always less accustomed to military exercises, and were less expert in the use of their arms than the Tartars and Arabs are said to be.
A militia of any kind, it must be observed, however, which has served for several successive campaigns in the field, becomes in every respect a standing army. The soldiers are every day exercised in the use of their arms, and, being constantly under the command of their officers, are habituated to the same prompt obedience which takes place in standing armies. What they were before they took the field is of little importance. They necessarily become in every respect a standing army after they have passed a few campaigns in it. Should the war in America drag out through another campaign, the American militia may become in every respect a match for that standing army of which the valour appeared, in the last war, at least not inferior to that of the hardiest veterans of France and Spain.
This distinction being well understood, the history of all ages, it will be found, bears testimony to the irresistible superiority which a well-regulated standing army has over a militia.

Ray Rice Loses Baltimore Ravens Contract Over TMZ Video
Posted on: September 9, 2014, 05:30h.
Last updated on: September 9, 2014, 04:26h.
A new TMZ-released video shows Ray Rice striking his then-fiancée-now-wife in a Revel Casino elevator. (Image: Robert Mayer-USA TODAY Sports)
Ray Rice was already the subject of plenty of scorn after he was charged with felony assault for an incident with then-fiancée Janay Palmer (the couple has since married) at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City in February. Ultimately, Rice was only suspended by the National Football League for two games, a decision that also sparked outrage among many fans, leading to Commissioner Roger Goodell admitting that harsher penalties were needed for domestic violence going forward.
Both the NFL and Rice are now going to face a new round of questions in the days to come. A second video of the incident was posted by TMZ early Monday morning, and it included footage that was much more graphic than what had previously been seen by the public. As a result, the Baltimore Ravens have terminated Rice's contract.
New Video Reveals Knockout
In the initial video, Rice was seen dragging a presumably unconscious Palmer out of an elevator at Revel. But the new video also shows what happened inside the elevator moments before. In it, both Rice and Palmer are seen getting into the elevator. Seconds later, there is a scuffle, which ends with Rice throws a punch to Palmer's face that knocks her head into the back railing of the elevator, after which she falls to the floor. The video then continues to show Rice drag her out of the elevator, a scene that also played out in the first video released to the public months ago.
In a statement from the NFL, officials claimed that the video was as new to them as it was to the public.
"We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator," the statement read. "That video was not made available to us. And no one in our office has seen it until today."
Questions Raised About What NFL Knew
But that statement seems to contradict the reporting from numerous NFL reporters in the wake of the incident. In July, reports from prominent NFL writers such as Sports Illustrated's Peter King and ESPN's Chris Mortensen both referenced NFL officials having seen the video.
"There is one other thing I did not write or refer to, and that is the other videotape the NFL and some Ravens officials have seen, from the security camera inside the elevator at the time of the physical altercation between Rice and his fiancée," King wrote at the time. Mortensen's report mentioned details of the video that appear to accurately match those from the video released today.
According to reports that have been reiterated since the latest video was leaked, several NFL reporters said that they were told in private that the video showed Palmer being violent towards Rice, and that it may well have mitigated Rice's punishment. Infamously, the Baltimore Ravens tweeted a controversial message that "Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident."
Since the February episode, Rice and Palmer married, and Palmer has publicly expressed support for Rice. The couple also met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before Rice's punishment was announced, with Goodell saying that the short suspension was due to the fact that Rice appeared remorseful for his actions and because the charges against him had been dropped.
Under his initial suspension, Rice would have been eligible to return to the Ravens on Friday.

Each year, the 10 extraordinary women are selected from hundreds of nominations and chosen for the significant contributions they have made across a breadth of causes and important initiatives. The nominees will be judged on four distinct criteria – addressing a crucial need in the community, the impact their inspiring contributions have made, their innovation on developing solutions, and their passion to evoke change and inspire future generations. The Honourees will join esteemed alumni of Canadian women who have broken down barriers, built and strengthened communities and fought passionately to make the world a better and more loving place.
"Each year, we are incredibly humbled by the touching, and often heartbreaking stories and achievements of these extraordinary women. They go beyond the extra mile with their time, talent, commitment and care for their neighbours and those in need around the globe," said Milan Mladjenovic, General Manager, L'Oréal Paris Canada. "I'm in awe of this amazing group of women and their words of inspiration. It's a true privilege to recognize and honour these noble advocates, share their stories and provide a contribution to meaningful causes that affect all of us."
All of the 2019 Honourees will receive an all-expenses paid trip for two to Toronto to attend the star-studded awards gala on March 8th, hosted by L'Oréal Paris. Previous Honourees of the Canadian edition of this humanitarian program, as well as a notable L'Oréal Paris spokeswoman, will also attend the ceremony. The innovations of past award recipients have resulted in significant advancements for aid in sheltering the homeless, to fighting for the rights of refugees; caring for cancer patients, to protecting our environment, and supporting Canadians living with food insecurity; these women are truly making inspiring contributions and beautiful changes to our world.
"When you're in the vicinity of people of this quality, that energy, that calibre of heart – it's an impressive experience. It's better than going to the Oscars…" said Dame Helen Mirren, L'Oréal Paris Ambassador.

Come February, the 10 nominees will be announced and Canadians will have the opportunity to vote for a National Honouree to be awarded an additional $10,000 grant for her non-profit cause. The public can visit womenofworth.ca to read more details about each Honouree's inspirational cause and vote for their favourite until March 4th. Voters can cast one online vote per email address each day. These votes will be a core factor in the judging panel's selection of the 2019 National Honouree.
To learn about past Canadian Honourees, to nominate a woman making a difference and to cast your vote for the National Honouree, visit womenofworth.ca.

The English major immerses students in the aesthetic, communicative, and cultural dimensions of language. Through application of Lasell's Connected Learning philosophy, English majors have ongoing opportunities to connect concepts discussed in the classroom with practical application to the development of sophisticated writing skills. Students take a set of required survey and topics courses to examine major concepts in literature and language through reading, reflection, and discussion. In these courses, students critically analyze and write about literature in its various forms and genres. English electives and directed study opportunities allow students the flexibility to pursue special interests.
English majors may choose to select courses with a focus on literature or creative writing. Students who focus on literature select from more advanced electives in literature and language studies while students who focus on the development of creative work may choose to take more advanced creative writing workshops in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and screenwriting.
Toward the end of their program, students complete a capstone literary research or creative writing project and an internship in an area related to their individual interests and career goals. The literature capstone is completed in a two-semester sequence; students read and research their chosen topic during a semester-long individual tutorial and write a capstone essay during the following semester. The creative writing capstone offers students a tutorial-style opportunity to complete a major creative writing project.
Skills emphasized in the major prepare students for careers involving oral and written communication, language applications, or the analysis of literature. Students in the English major may also prepare to be teachers at the secondary level; students interested in this option follow the program plan for English with Secondary Education Concentration to ensure that they meet requirements for licensure.
By planning early in consultation with an academic advisor, students may be able to reduce the time it takes to complete a bachelor's degree in English to 3 or 3 ½ years.
The following goals and associated learning outcomes delineate what we strive for students to achieve when they complete a major program of study in English:
Goal 1: Canons and conventions
Upon completion of the major program of study in English, students will be able to:
demonstrate an awareness of the respective advantages of qualitative and quantitative approaches, while demonstrating an appreciation for the special significance of the qualitative approach for scholars who work in the humanities areas.

The web series is a new story-telling medium created for the internet. In this course, students develop the first season of a dramatic or comedic web series. Students pitch, outline, and write an eight-episode series; as a final project, they premiere its debut in rough draft.
ENG208 - The Structure of the English Language
This course focuses on essential elements of the structure of the English language: its phonology (sound structure), morphology (word structure), and syntax (sentence structure). Students draw on their own knowledge of language as they examine spoken English; they then study the relationship between spoken and written language. As students discuss issues pertinent to teachers and to writers, the relevance of linguistic analysis both to written language development and to writing practice is considered.
ENG209 - Intro to Literature & Literary Studies
This is a foundations course required for the major and the minor in English. The course provides an introduction to a variety of forms and styles in poetry, drama, short story, fiction, memoir, and essay; European, African, North American, Central and South American, and Asian literatures are considered.

Plays are considered in terms of performance as well as in literary terms, with a focus on the ways in which the philosophies and sensibilities of modernism and postmodernism are reflected both on the page and on the stage. Readings include modern classics by such writers as Ibsen, O'Neill, Brecht, and Beckett, as well as more recent works.

Emphasis is on the development of the form, the social context of the texts including historical background, changes in popular taste, and analysis of the popularity of the genre.
ENG217 - Contemporary Global Literature (KP)
In this course, we consider contemporary literature in its global context. Viewing literature as the expression of individual national/cultural traditions and as a rendering of the universally human condition, we examine both national literatures and texts written for a global readership. Topics such as global citizenship, diaspora, postcolonial aesthetics, modernism, postmodernism, and cultural/literary redefinition may be addressed; sample texts include Tagore's King of the Dark Chamber, Kincaid's Among Flowers, Aidoo's No Sweetness Here, Kafka's The Metamorphosis, and Heaney's The Spirit Level.

In this course, students study the development of the short story as a twentieth-century form; critical and creative approaches are offered. Selections are taken from such authors as Edith Wharton, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Joyce Carol Oates, Doris Lessing, and Alice Walker.
ENG235 - From Sounds to Sentences
This course considers the acquisition of human language as a biologically based and species-specific communication system. The interaction, from infancy through early and later childhood, between biological preparedness and environmental influence is studied, as is the development of phonology (sound system), lexicon (vocabulary), syntax (sentence structure), and pragmatics (language use). The developmental phases through which a young learner passes as the language systems develop are also studied in this course. Bilingualism, dialect, language disorder, and early written language development are considered.
ENG237X - Becoming Ourselves in Society
How are we influenced by our group and our society? What attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs do we develop in our social contexts? These questions have been addressed through the lens of social psychology; in addition, creative writers have been moved to explore them.

5 HOT BOOKS: Appreciating Women's Anger, Michael Lewis, and More
October 01, 2018 / Adam Cohen
1. Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger by Rebecca Traister (Simon & Schuster)
In a perfect book for this moment, Traister feels the pulse of American women and with her laser focus zooms in on the "specific nexus of women's anger and American politics" and how throughout history women have harnessed their dissatisfactions and ignited movements for social change and justice. History has erased the angry women who fought to abolish slavery and ensure safety in the workplace, sanitizing figures like Rosa Parks by depicting them as patient and demure rather than as fiery activists. Change is slow and circular, and Traister argues that anger must fortify women as it has been at the heart of fighting injustice. "Being mad is correct; being mad is American; being mad can be joyful and productive and connective," she writes in her radiant book. "Don't ever let them talk you out of being mad again."
2. The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis (W.W. Norton)
In classics such as Liar's Poker and Moneyball, Lewis ingeniously created engrossing narratives from the most abstruse material; now he dives inside bland federal office buildings to deliver a devastating story of government bureaucracy in the Trump administration. Lewis begins with a post-election tweet from @realDonaldTrump: "Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!" Lewis has juicy stories about characters such as Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, and Trump himself, but most terrifying is his reporting on how the inept Trump presidential transition emptied the federal government of midcareer experts. Hiring, for example, people like his loyal cabana attendant for the Department of Agriculture, Trump has created a federal government ill-prepared to do basic work like the census or plan for weightier challenges like protecting against nuclear threats.
3. Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug (Scribner)
In her stunning scrapbook-style memoir, graphic artist Krug documents the excavation of her German family history, particularly the question of whether her grandparents and extended family had ties to the Nazis. Krug's exquisite handwritten reports and impressions are nestled on pages with photographs, images of found objects and 1930s and '40s German phone books, Google street views, and illustrations, provide a kaleidoscopic quality to her inquiry. She discovers that one grandfather had served with the Nazis and that an uncle had died as a teenage Nazi soldier, and learns how parts of the family were estranged from others. As Krug wrestles with uncovering her family's past, she contends with her own sense of guilt and dislocation, which helped to form her identity.
4. All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung (Catapult)
Growing up in a small Oregon town, isolated from other Asian faces, Chung staked her identity on the legend that her selfless, loving Korean parents had relinquished their severely premature baby to a loving white family with the resources to raise her. In her insightful memoir, she reflects on giving birth to her own daughter and the bond she developed with her biological sister. Catapult magazine's editor-in-chief and the former managing editor of The Toast, Chung brings a light touch to her "messy family history and shifting Korean and American identities."
5. Gone So Long by Andre Dubus III (W.W. Norton)
As in his acclaimed House of Sand and Fog, Dubus has a gift for writing fiction that inspires empathy with characters who initially seem detestable. In his new novel, we are introduced to one of these: a man who murdered his wife in front of their 3-year-old child. Raised by her grandmother, this daughter decades later is a happily married college professor writing her memoirs, which Dubus includes in the novel so that it becomes a sort of book inside a book. He brings a light touch to questions of morality and justice and moves delicately between seaside New England and swampy Florida, infusing life into the characters in this heartbreaking novel.

REVIEW: Pulling Back the Curtain on ...
Q&A: 'Run for Your Life': A ...


The following summary of the geology of the Makran coastal area is taken, with minor modification, from Harms and others (1982).
Makran comprises the southern part of Pakistan and Iran between Sonmiani Bay, near Karachi, and the Straits of Hormuz (Figure 1). The area consists of a great festoon of folded and faulted Tertiary sediments extending 800 km (497 mi) from the Las Bela fold belt on the east to the Oman Line on the west (Figure 2). These eastern and western boundaries separate Makran from older terranes with deformational styles and histories distinct from that of Makran (Farah and Dejong, 1979). To the east the Las Bela fold belt represents deformation associated with the collision of India with Asia whereas to the west the Zagros Mountains of Iran represent the convergence of the Arabian and Iranian plates. In both cases, blocks of continental crust have moved northward against other continental plates, closing former deep oceanic seaways. In contrast, along Makran, it appears that only oceanic crust has been subducted beneath a continental margin composed of small plates and complex ophiolite zones.
Coastal Makran and the area to the north is an accretionary wedge of deformed sediments ranging in age from perhaps Late Cretaceous to Recent, piled up at an oceanic subduction margin. The structure and depositional setting has been compared to "a typical arc model" composed of upper-slope deposits followed by lower-slope and trench deposits, progressively deformed by continuing subduction (Farhoudi and Karig, 1977). However, as an arc-trench system, Makran is hardly typical; indeed it is perhaps largely anomalous in its characteristics, as pointed out by Jacob and Quittmeyer (1979). The arc-trench gap is on the order of 500 km (311 mi), far wider than most systems. A possible Benioff zone is only weakly developed; shallow focal mechanism solutions indicate instances of tension in the downgoing oceanic slab. Volcanic centers are few and widely spaced along the arc feature. Additionally, a very large part of the accretionary prism is exposed, and a significant volume of post-middle Miocene sediments are shallow shelf deposits, not trench and slope deposits as alleged by Farhoudi and Karig (1977).


"The Egesal" by ENMESHED might not leave much of an impression on fans of more conventional song structures, but it surely serves a one hell of an intriguing experience. Having one iron rule, not to give out any information as to the whereabouts of the band members, ENMESHED have a lot to roar and rage in the heavy music community before any details on their project is revealed online. The aesthetic of "The Egesal" allows for a deeply immersive experience and brings a much needed dimension of anxiety, fear and madness to the world of extreme music you know. Let's hope their mysterious exposure won't prevent them from pursuing even more ambitious schemes.
The album owes much to the works of Sade, Michaux, Hölderlin, M.G. Lewis, and on the sonic side of things, everything from Zeni Geva to Webern to Stooges. We tend to think of it as body metal, as the collective sound is simultaneously physical and metaphysical.
An idea yes, but a message, no. We don't think that's how art functions, and our poetic language throughout the record is a testament to that. Perhaps the idea of God, not as a supernatural being but precisely how it translates into the world of phenomena, is central to the way the album has been named, and arranged, with the last track, Immanuemah [a play on the word, Immanuel] being the quintessence of it. That said, the record does not stay in one place, neither conceptually nor instrumentally [the majority of the studio recordings are improvised iterations of certain fixed song patterns], and therefore, there are tracks that go astray, and deal with other things entirely, like for instance Visit from The Glede, which is sort of a punk statement [again, not one that is blunt, but rather poetic] on the rise of a new moralism in the world today.


Filipe Cortez' multidisciplinary practice (site specific interventions involving performance, painting, drawing, sculpture and installation) examines memory, time and decay. The Portuguese artist investigates physical decay relating to the human body and architecture and the connections between both through in-situ performances in the series of works such as "Contamination" (contaminated wall representations), "Skin Series (where the residues of the architectural structure are ripped from their original structure with latex membranes) or"Fossils" . Through an intensive examination conducted with microscopic intention, Cortez succeeds in extracting an aesthetic of beauty from degradation, decomposition and physical disease through phenomema such as age marks , cracks, mold or humidity. As the human body ages, so do the spaces that it inhabits as evidenced by multifold manifestations of the passing of time.
Filipe Cortez has shown his work in several collective exhibitions mainly in Portugal and most recently at the Peach Gallery, Toronto, Canada.


Along with the new Man Utd away kit 2012/2013, the Red Devils have also unveiled a new change goalkeeper strip to be worn by David de Gea on their travels this season. The new Man Utd away goalkeeper shirt uses the same gingham template as the home kit and has been made by Nike.

That is really really nice! Can't wait to see De Gea and Lindegaard in that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I let in goals and my name's DeGea!
we need the Spanish Inquisition on our keepers pink abomination!!!
It's nice to see how all the anti-Man United even have to stick the boot in over a fecking kit. People like that, i.e Bob, don't deserve to follow football.

Evidence is accumulating that decline of sugar maple, Acer saccharum Marsh., in northern Pennsylvania may be related to overall site fertility as reflected in the chemistry of soil water and bolewood xylem. In this paper we discuss factors related to varying site fertility, including effects of soil liming, past glacialion, topographic position and soil acidification.

It's time to add "music video production" to the list of industries the iPhone threatens to disrupt.
Showdown Productions LLC, a small production company in Dayton, Ohio has managed to shoot a professional-looking music video using only the Apple's new video-capable iPhone 3GS and an improvised camera stabilizer that allowed them to shoot smooth, great-looking scenes on the go.
Modeled somewhat after the Steadicam — a film industry standard that puts motion-absorbing technologies in between the lense and the camera operator's body to allow smooth image capture during mobile shots — Showdown's from-scratch iPhone attachment mounts the iPhone on a variety of equipment, from the two-handled technique pictured above, which looks like it could be built on the cheap, to the more expensive, official "glidecam" device shown at the bottom of this article.
Showdown's results are impressive, as the following video for "Play" by BJSR, shot in Dayton, demonstrates.
Not bad. But the Apple iPhone 3GS is not the perfect videocamera for several reasons, including its microphone, which is unsuitable for capturing pro-level audio in many situations. But because music videos are synched to a pre-recorded song in most cases, they're perfect candidates for iPhone production. All you need to do is record the video cleanly, and that's where Showdown's steady cam system comes into play.
We conducted a quick e-mail interview with Kyle Brock, producer and business-to-business associate for Showdown Productions, to find out about the pros and cons of shooting a music video with the new iPhone and find out what budding iPhone (and other phone) cinematographers can learn from their experience. The long and the short of it: the iPhone is, in fact, capable of shooting high-quality music videos, especially if you figure out a way to keep the phone steady.
Wired.com: How and why did you (or whoever) come up with this idea?
Kyle Brock, Showdown Productions: The song was written by Ben Rivet, the main character of the video. Our primary goal for making the video was to market out to whoever we could find. [Rivet] was purchasing a new iPhone and came up with the idea to promote his music. We wanted to test the limits of the iPhone video, and show off what it was capable of. We [also] want to get as many video hits as we can to showcase the talent of Ben Rivet's music and Showdown Productions.
Wired.com: What was it like shooting a music video on the iPhone? Any issues or observations?
KB: Pros: The camera is very lightweight. It is easy to dump the footage from the iPhone itself to a Macbook. Once it was mounted to our steady-cam rig it was very easy to run and gun for traveling scenes. Cons: The iPhone has a built in auto-exposure feature which can cause difficulties. The battery life for the iPhone isn't really meant to capture a lot of film exposures, so we were constantly charging it. It's not as high-quality as a standard camera we would [normally] use for shooting, but we still feel it turned out extremely well for a phone.


Our Private Client Department is located across both our Kettering and Corby offices. We also work with our clients who are based in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Rutland and Lincolnshire areas.
We are experienced in reviewing Wills including amendments. Our team of Will writing experts are available to offer advice on any amendments you wish to make. There are different ways to amend your Will. Our Will writing professionals will discuss these options with you.
We understand that if you have a Will in place then from time to time changes may be needed to your Will to reflect any changes that have happened since your Will was originally written.
Your marital status changes i.e. you are divorced or in the process of being.
We suggest you review your Will every couple of years just to make sure your loved ones are protected. Most of the time, you won't need to make any changes. However, if you do, we can help you make the necessary changes quickly and simply.
If you need to make minor changes to your Will, remove a gift, remove, or appoint executors or change an address then a Codicil is another way to update an existing Will. A codicil is a legal document which allows you to make changes to a previously written Will. When making a codicil, the same legal requirements must be followed. It must be signed by you in the presence of two witnesses and not revoke your existing Will.
If you need to make a few changes, especially if they are in relation to how your estate is divided, then we recommend you do a new Will.
Our team of professionals are available to speak to and will always provide you with the best option dependant on the amendments that are required.


"Genome-Wide Interaction Study of Omega-3 PUFAs and Other Fatty Acids o" by Jenna Veenstra, Anya Kalsbeek et al.
Numerous genetic loci have been identified as being associated with circulating fatty acid (FA) levels and/or inflammatory biomarkers of cardiovascular health (e.g., C-reactive protein). Recently, using red blood cell (RBC) FA data from the Framingham Offspring Study, we conducted a genome-wide association study of over 2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 22 RBC FAs (and associated ratios), including the four Omega-3 FAs (ALA, DHA, DPA, and EPA). Our analyses identified numerous causal loci. In this manuscript, we investigate the extent to which polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels moderate the relationship of genetics to cardiovascular health biomarkers using a genome-wide interaction study approach. In particular, we test for possible gene–FA interactions on 9 inflammatory biomarkers, with 2.5 million SNPs and 12 FAs, including all Omega-3 PUFAs. We identified eighteen novel loci, including loci which demonstrate strong evidence of modifying the impact of heritable genetics on biomarker levels, and subsequently cardiovascular health. The identified genes provide increased clarity on the biological functioning and role of Omega-3 PUFAs, as well as other common fatty acids, in cardiovascular health, and suggest numerous candidate loci for future replication and biological characterization.


mr. rogers did it! anyone else? do you pair bananas with anything else others consider "strange"?
I make a salad with spinach, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, jewel cherry tomatoes, avocado and sliced banana. Its incredible. I don't know if that's strange, but some consider the avocado-banana pairing odd.
I make a delicious banana and coconut raita from The Vegetarian Epicure Book II by Anna Thomas.
We already eat too many bananas -- they are in general a very environmentally destructive crop. Caroline, as a Food52 editor, please don't encourage your readership to eat them in more ways (and thus more of them).
If I have an over ripe banana on hand, I'll chop it up and add it to curry (especially if I'm using coconut milk.) It melts into the sauce and adds subtle sweetness without tasting assertively banana-y. Also helps thicken it a bit.
Sometimes as garnish for curried stew or rijstaffel.
banana and bacon sandwich. strange enough?
i have never really like bananas until recently. now i throw them on dinner salads with a lot of other fruit. formerly to eat bananas i would put them on toast with honey and peanut butter.
