More Language And Literature (5318)
Books > Language and Literature > Poetry > Transformation of Poetic Discourse (In Rasa and Post-structural Poetics)
Rasa, the Indian literary theory, and the poststructuralist, the Western literary theory, constitute two important areas of study in literary criticism and literature. This volume tries to define rasa and post-structuralism theories in clear and graphical terms. It focuses on inter-cultural application of these two classical theories. This involves the attempt to apply the Indian literary theory of rasa to canonical English poems including those of the epic stature like Dante's Divine Comedy and John Milton's Paradise Lost. It also applies the Western literary theory of poststructuralism, those of Derrida, Lacan and Foucault, to canonical works of Sanskrit poetry like Bharthari's Srngaraataka, udraka's Mrcchakatika, Dandin's Daakumaracarita and Mudraraksasa of Virakhadatta among others.
The comparative study that involves a deep and engrossing study of various situations in the epics and other works, unfolds the uniqueness of the latter. It reveals the similarities in the two theories such as their goal of generation of value, quite realistically. It discusses the distinction in the rasa and post-structuralism formations, such as the idea of communication being one of the important principles of the conceptualization of form and structure of rasa, while the art of communication is not so evolved in poststructuralist.
The structure of the study is planned in a sequential order to enable readers to easily understand the theories and their application. The book is bound to be useful to scholars and students of Indology, particularly Indian literature and literary criticism, and those interested in cross-cultural studies in this field.
Dr. Vandana Rajoriya is Lecturer of English, S.R. Government Polytechnic College, Sagar, M. P. She was selected for the said post through M.P.P.S.C. in the year 2008. She did her PhD from Dr. Han Singh Gour University, Sagar, M. P. in the year 2009. She has had six papers of national repute published in different anthologies. Besides, she has also contributed twenty-seven research papers and articles in the journals of national and international repute. She has attended fifteen national and international seminars, workshops, conferences and training programmers organized by various universities of India. She is author of the books D.H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis: The Moral Dimension, Serious Timings Beautiful Rhyming (a collection of poems) and Tiny Droplets (A collection of poems).
THIS research study aims at providing scholars of literature and literary criticism a unique outlook. Literary criticism and literature constitute the two sides of a coin. Both are co-related, just like breathing is essential to living and the primary matter to a substantial form. Rasa, the Indian literary theory and poststructuralist, the western literary theory constitute two of the most important areas of study that no volume of this size can suffice without certain degree of simplification. So I've not attempted to engage in any prolonged consideration of the major critics. As will be clear from the Introduction, I have concentrated not so much on the major literary figures as on rasa and post-structuralism theories themselves. The account I offer here is an agenda of critical discussion in the aesthetic world. Application of rasa theory, in spite of its dynamic nature, has remained mostly confined to the Indian sub-continent without shedding much light on the international arena, and it is equally true of the post-structuralist theories which have hardly been applied to Indian and other (languages) in general and Sanskrit poetry in particular. So I've attempted to expound rasa, and apply this on canonical English poems and epics like Dante's Divine Comedy, Milton's Paradise Lost and the like, and post- structuralism, the western literary theory to canonical works of Sanskrit Poetry like Sarngaraataka' of Bhartrhari, Mrcchakatika' of udraka, Darsakumaracarita of Dunklin, Mudraraksasa of Viakhadatta, Harsacarita of Banabhatta, Sisupalavadha of Magha and the like.
The advantages of such an approach are many. First of all an attempt has been made to define rasa and post-structuralism theories in clear and graphical terms so as to enable my readers to become aware of such unique literary theories as rasa and post-structuralism. Secondly, inter-cultural application of these theories instead of analyses, gradation, evaluation and judgment in a pedagogical manner is a unique contribution.
Literary critics of the 1990s emphasise that the aim of an aesthetic criticism is to describe the artwork and to infer! draw from the art, the aesthetic that may be generated. Description of various situations in the epics and texts of my choice will certainly enable the appreciative readers/viewers to enjoy the aesthetic called the rasa experience.
A comparative study of the post-structuralism and rasa will indeed unfold the uniqueness of the latter as it dwells on reincarnation of the mystic experience that subsequently follows santa rasa. But artwork here is to infer and enjoy rasa and post-structuralist theories. Appropriate description of the situations in the artwork will enable the readers to infer rasa and post-structuralist theories and enjoy them, no matter whether it is a tragedy or a comedy.
I hope that the chronological development of this study will help my readers to proceed easily through the natural progression of the study. It aims at bringing the East and West, the North and South closer to each other. Of all the literary theories, modern and ancient, eastern and western, rasa stands aloft as a lighthouse that keeps shining and giving out light to a very large area of the ocean guiding the vessels. At the outset, the scope of this study may seem to be of glaring artificiality and high hopes. Indeed, the structure of this study is so planned in a chronological and sequential order that the readers, I hope, will perceive and read through the lines, the things I describe, and enjoy and embrace rasa, the Sanskrit literary theory, as a unique literary theory.
Having declared some of the unique characteristics of this study and certain limitations, I would like to state that there are writers, who have extensively dwelt on rasa and poststructuralist; for further reference the appendices include bibliographies and an index on all major critics and the works of art.
COMPLETION of this thesis is a highly satisfying accolade for me and I find myself rejoicing over this achievement, but credit for this achievement must go to my revered guide Bhavatosh Indra Guru. He is not only an erudite scholar but also a great human being. His ungrudging and invaluable guidance has been instrumental in leading this work to emerge successfully in the present form. It is almost impossible to quantify his help that I received during the last three years. Without his guidance, my thesis would never have been finished in time. Furthermore without his timely help and patience, I could perhaps never have worked on application of poststructuralist on Sanskrit poetry. I extend my profound indebtedness and gratitude to him.
I offer my sincere gratitude to A.K. Awasthi, Head of the Department and Nivedita Maitra, Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and other European Languages, Han Singh Gour University, Sagar (M.P.) and Nisha Indra Guru, Department of English, Government Girls Degree College, Sagar, for their constant inspiration, cooperation and encouragement.
Of the many libraries, where it had been necessary to spend long hours of fascinating exploration, I owe the greatest debt to the Jawaharlal Nehru Library of Han Singh Gour University, Sagar (M.P.). I am deeply grateful to the director and staff for all their willing assistance.
The work thus undertaken and accomplished has made me experience many ups and downs, although I had been putting up with it, but there are some people who have knowingly or unknowingly played a major role in its completion. Here, I acknowledge my indebtedness, from the innermost recess of my heart, to my husband Umakant Rajoriya for having performed various invaluable tasks ranging from the secretarial to the menial. His subtle blend of tolerance and occasional exasperation has been a source of great encouragement as also an ever present warning against the dangers of a consuming interest from becoming an obsession. I am also thankful to my mother-in-law, Sunder Devi Rajoriya, bhabhis Anjani and Rani, Krishnakanti didi and Krishnakant bhaiya for their constant inspiration and moral support rendered by them. It would have been very difficult to finish the task in time had Krishna didi not shouldered the household responsibilities with me. I am grateful to the kids Animesh, Akash, Anshu and Moksha for their love and affection.
My papa, Tulasi Ram Tripathi, plays the role of a guiding spirit behind each and every work that I undertake and accomplish. If I am in this field, it is just because of him. I am extremely thankful to him for being a mentor to me. It is really difficult to find words of gratefulness for my mama, Indira Tripathi, the pillar of my life. How can I express indebtedness to my sisters, Yamini, Meenakshi and Deepika and brother, Ashutosh, who have always been eagerly walking by my side for anything and everything? Yamini's composure always gave me the strength to keep patience for such a long and strenuous task. Meenu's spirit never failed in giving me the zest, the killing instinct required to do some real research work. I would also like to thank her for helping me in proofreading. Although it applies to them all, but I would especially like to thank my youngest sister Deepika (Sona) who always eagerly and gladly took the pain of extending a helping hand to me, no matter when and in which form I asked for. Ashutosh's faith in me and my 100 per cent success rate was, in fact, such a relief in very tough and trying times.
I would like to thank Rameti, who is like an elder daughter to me, for happily taking care not only of my daughter but also me and my family throughout the research work.
I am also thankful to Ratnesh bhaiya for helping me in typing the manuscript.
Finally, the most important thanks here go to my little daughter Marihavi, for giving me the space required to finish the work in time. Although she may not have known what it was about, but she has given me a sense of purpose and nurtured me as only an understanding child can.
Above all I'm grateful to the Almighty whose blessings made the completion of this Thesis possible.

For example the word arrangement
Formula:
                   n!
nPr =      -------------------
           (n1! n2! . . . nr!)

In the (nPr) permutation equation, place the values retrieved from the term arrangement.
                   11!
nPr =    -----------------------
         (2! 2! 2! 1! 2! 1! 1! )

    1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 x 11
=  ---------------------------------------------
   {(1 x 2) (1 x 2) (1 x 2) (1) (1 x 2) (1) (1)}

nPr of word arrangement = 2494800

As a result, the letters in the word arrangement may be arranged in 2494800 distinct ways.

A: Using this formula:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(BYROW(QUERY({A2:A}, " Select Col1 Where Col1 <> '' "), LAMBDA(rw,
 LAMBDA(v,
 FACT(LEN(v))/
 PRODUCT(BYROW(
 LAMBDA(s, COUNTIF(s,"="&UNIQUE(TRANSPOSE(s))))
 (Iferror(split(regexreplace(v,"(.)","$1"),""),"")), LAMBDA(rg, FACT(rg)))))(rw))),""))

Simplified like this:
factorial of (Length of the (Range)) / Product of factorial of each sum of unique letter count

Used formulas help
ARRAYFORMULA - IFERROR - BYROW - QUERY - LAMBDA - FACT - LEN - PRODUCT - COUNTIF - UNIQUE - TRANSPOSE - SPLIT - REGEXREPLACE

A: Factorial can be easily found with FACT. Unique letter count is a bit complicated, but once we split the string, we can use QUERY to group by and count. Once count is found, we divide the factorial of LEN of string by the product of factorial,  just as @Osm did in this answer.
=ARRAYFORMULA(
  BYROW(
    A2:INDEX(A2:A,COUNTA(A2:A)),
    LAMBDA(
      row,
        FACT(LEN(row))
        /PRODUCT(
          FACT(
            QUERY(
              TRANSPOSE(
                SPLIT(
                  REGEXREPLACE(row,"\B",""),
                "",1)
              ),
             "Select count(Col1) group by Col1 label count(Col1) ''")
            )
         )

2021 SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX
Race Notes
- Nicholas Latifi finished 12th in a chaotic Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, whilst George Russell was forced to retire following a collision with Haas' Nikita Mazepin on lap 15
- Both drivers started the race on the medium Pirelli compound tyre, with George lining up 14th and Nicholas 16th
- Both drivers switched to the white-walled hard tyre under an early Safety Car Period, George on lap nine and Nicholas on lap 10 respectively, before the race was red flagged
- On the restart, George suffered terminal damage in an accident with Mazepin and the race was subsequently stopped once again. Nicholas started the second restart In P15 and kept a cool head to come home in 12th
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: The race today was even more busy than we had anticipated with the track proving difficult to clear once debris had been deposited. We were unfortunate when the early safety car became a red flag, but we had little to gain from staying out and potentially a lot to gain by pitting. The restarts were difficult with the tyres not quite at peak grip after a single lap to the grid behind the safety car.
George was very unfortunate to have his race ended when the Haas hit him; he could see a collision ahead and so didn't approach the corner flat out, but the Haas behind was unsighted, and the collision was terminal. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and the car doesn't seem too badly damaged.
Nicholas drove a very strong race, stayed out of trouble and showed good pace, matching Giovinazzi. Knowing that it would likely be a battle of attrition, he handled the race very well, benefited from incidents ahead and took excellent care of the car and tyres during the numerous VSC periods. Unfortunately, today, it wasn't enough to score any points. However, Alfa Romeo were only able to score two points and so we head to Abu Dhabi with a ten-point lead to defend.
Next week is set to be a spectacular end to the season with an incredible battle at the front. The recent changes to the Yas Marina circuit will add to the challenge for all the teams and we are looking forward to testing the car and drivers on this faster, more flowing version of this well-known track.
Nicholas Latifi: Today was a very tough race, both physically and mentally. Trying to keep the rhythm and the tyre temperature through the many restarts and safety cars is always challenging, but I gave it everything I had and I was fortunate not to get caught in the collision ahead of me during the second start. It was a good race to learn from as we head into our final event of the season in Abu Dhabi next week.
George Russell: I came through the small kink of turn three and there were cars everywhere. I hit the brakes to slow down and unfortunately, I got hit from behind, was up in the air and that was our day over. It's a shame but with such a narrow track that is so fast, and with the size of these cars, an accident is almost inevitable.
Heading to Abu Dhabi, we need to find a bit more speed from the car so we can be battling a little higher up the field. It's my last race with Williams next week and I want to finish on a high.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette has been raved about just about everywhere since it's release last year. I think it's been one of the most hyped up palettes for a long time now and it seems like everyones featuring it in tutorials and makeup looks which meant it quickly sold out and was hard to get hold of for a while. Me being the makeup addict I am got my hands on this palette shortly after it's release and as I haven't actually spoke about it much on my blog I thought it was time I dedicate a post to it and share if I think it's really worth the hype.
I'm a massive warm toned lover, I also happen to be a big ABH eyeshadow fan so I knew I needed to own this from the moment I saw preview photos popping up on social media. The thing that really stood out with this palette is the super warm berry red tones it features as there's not actually many palettes (besides custom made like Makeup Geek/Ingot/MAC etc) on the market with those tones, ABH saw a gap in the makeup market and I think that's why this palette has blown up so much.
The palette contains 14 shades from your everyday more wearable shades on the left side then it goes up to the brighter warm reds and even an orange. You've got a mix of mattes and shimmers with most being matte, I like that fact about this palette as I find a lot of brands opt for more shimmers. If I had to be picky I would say this palette didn't need both Raw Sienna and Burnt Orange as they are very similar shades but if I had to pick my favourites I'd say Vermeer, Antique Bronze, Love Letter and Cyprus Umber.
I really like the quality of all the shadows in this palette. All the shades are pigmented and they're really easy to blend on the eye. There's certainly a variety of looks that could be created with this palette. The only thing I have noticed is that a couple of the shades have a little more fall out than others but that doesn't bother me as I do my eye makeup before my base so I can simply sweep fall out away. Vermeer and Primavera are such beautiful shades, I like to mix them with a bit of setting spray and they go on more like more of a metallic shadow all glowy and perfect which I LOVE.
Packaging wise whilst it may look beautiful (gimme all things pink) I must admit it's not the most practical. The light pink/mauve velvet does get dirty very easily which whilst it's not something that bothers me too much, it's something to bare in mind especially if you travel with your makeup – you can already see the stains on mine in the picture above! Whilst you can wipe the marks away to a certain extent, it's just never going to be as clean as it originally was.
This palette is not cheap, especially for Anastasia Beverly Hills! I have a couple of their palettes now and I remember only paying £20-£30(ish) for them so this being £41 makes it a lot more but then you are getting more shadows. I actually ordered it from Beautylish which was $42 so when converted to pounds I ended up paying a bit less. When you compare it to palettes from brands like Too Faced and Urban Decay then it's on the same price level as them, but considering you're getting 14 shadows it works out to be just under £2.95 a shadow which makes the palette a lot more reasonable when you look at it like that.
So do I think it's worth the hype? Yes I do if you're a fan of the brighter berry/red toned looks you could create with these shades. If you're buying this only for it's more neutral shades then I think there's certainly different palettes out there for you. I can't say I find myself reaching for this palette daily (the fact I own way too many palettes already means I'm often switching it up) but I am glad to have it in my collection. I have used it in a few of my Instagram makeup looks which I'll link here (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and I just love how the colours go so well with my green eyes. I can say this palette does get my approval!
Have you tried the Modern Renaissance Palette, if so do you think it's with the hype?


Whatever your plans for the desktop, whether you're upgrading to Windows 7, supporting the Mac or iPad, or virtualizing the whole lot, an interesting question is what to do about those office applications.
You could take the evolutionary approach and upgrade the old suites, or you could look to move some or all of it into the cloud. You lose a bunch of complexity on the physical desktop, and collaborative activity, i.e. working on stuff together with your colleagues or mates, also becomes a lot more natural.
In this on-demand webcast our usual host Tim Phillips is joined by Andrew Buss, Service Director with Freeform Dynamics, and Eran Feigenbaum, Director of Security for Google Apps to discuss just these strategic decisions.
Between them they're looking at whether SaaS is a safe option for businesses. What happens when the network is not available? Surely they cannot be more secure than your own datacentre, or can they? How can you be sure service providers are not snooping your email, selling your data to the highest bidder, or divulging all your secrets?
If you've been thinking about SaaS solutions for your business and still have some outstanding questions, this could be just the fillip.


The 28 students of the Class of 2018 attained an average of 36 points on the May exam session of the International Baccalaureate (IB). This is 6 points above the historical world average of 30 points. Seven OIS students scored 40 points or above, which on average, only 10% of test takers reach. All of the students passed the 24 point threshold to earn the full IB Diploma and almost half of them were awarded Bilingual Diplomas, signifying passing two "A" level languages.
I would like to congratulate the students, teachers, staff and parents for this excellent achievement. The IB Diploma Programme is rigorous and it takes our whole community to support student learning. Best wishes for continued success at the next level of your education!


Galion senior Houston Blair (23) guards Marion Harding senior Tyler Longstreth (11) in a conference game on Jan. 7. The Tigers defeated the Presidents 46-41.
It's a big week for the Galion boys basketball team.
Coming off a 46-41 victory against Marion Harding in Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference action Thursday night, the Tigers (7-3, 3-3 MOAC) plan to keep the momentum going in light of its mixed performance halfway through the season.
The team had some setbacks with conference losses against Buckeye Valley, Jonathan Alder and Pleasant. Before the end of 2015, Galion scored league wins over Fairbanks and North Union, on top of defeating all of its non-conference opponents.
"For the season, we're not exactly where we want to be," said Galion senior Houston Blair, during Wednesday's practice. "We want to get 8-3 after we win these next two," games with Marion Harding and River Valley (5-4, 2-2 MOAC) on Saturday.
Last season, the Vikings defeated Galion 73-61 in January, and 58-51 in February.
After missing four games because ankle sprain injury, Gavin Ratcliff was back in action for the Marion Harding game and is excited for the River Valley game.
"They got one of the best players in the MOAC with Danyon Hempy," he said.
At 6 feet 4 inches tall, Hempy has averaged 29 points in the past five games with a total of 145 points as of Friday.
"We just need to figure out a way to contain him," Galion boys basketball head coach Colby Bright said.
"We just have to hustle and play a hard game as a whole team and not just a couple players," said Galion senior Colton Moore.
During the Marion Harding game, the Tigers had an 11-9 lead in the first quarter.
"We were able to get some of their key guys in the first half in foul trouble," Bright said after the game.
But his team was unable to take advantage of its opponents mishaps and headed to the locker room trailing the Presidents 22-20 at halftime.
Galion made 13 of 45 shots and 17 of 22 free throws, while Marion Harding made 16 of 49 shots and 5 of 6 charity shots.
The Tigers defeated the Presidents in the second half 26-19. Galion built up a 4-0 run to surpass Marion Harding 40-33 lead in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers had 35 rebounds and 16 turnovers, while the Presidents had 23 rebounds and 13 turnovers.
Houston Blair led the Tigers with 15 points including a 3-pointer and making 8 of 10 free throws. Kalvin Rinehart added 10 points, while Colton Moore tallied 9 points.
Tyler Longstreth led the Presidents with 13 points, while Bryce Starner added nine points including a 3-pointer, and Roger Harmon tallied eight.
Bright said the team will work on its shooting but it's important for them not to get complacent this season.

The Fast-Paced Number Dice Game!
Students compete in this fast-paced number dice game to arrange their dice roll (2 to 7 dice) into the lowest or highest number based on the dealer's roll of the greater than/less than die. The dice game provides number sense from tens to millions place value depending on number of dice used by each student or team. This game can be played at any grade level as the number of dice each player uses dictates the difficulty. The smart player knows ordering their roll in ascending or descending consecutive order is the key to winning, plus the luck of the roll. Includes 4 sand timers ranging from 15 to 60 seconds. The shorter the time for players to create their number, the wilder the game becomes! This game will boost student proficiency with greater than/less than, place value, consecutive order and number sense skills while having fun! 2-6 players or teams, plus dealer.
The game comes with 36 white dice with dot patterns 1-6, plus 6 blank white dice, 6 green "dealer" dice with dot patterns 1-6, plus 1 blank green dealer die, 1 orange greater than/less than dealer die, 4 sand timers, (1 each 15, 30, 45 seconds & 1 minute), 50-page score pad, re-sealable bag to store dice, game rules sheet with reproducible score sheet on reverse side.
Basic game play: The teacher or designated student uses the green dice and orange greater than/less than die to deal out the number challenge. For example: If the game is using numbers to 5 place values (ten thousands) the dealer rolls 5 green dot pattern dice with plus the orange >/< die. The dealer rolls > and arranges the 5 green dice into the number. The appropriate sand timer (15 seconds to 1 minute) is turned over and the 2-6 players roll 5 white dot pattern dice. They must now quickly arrange their dice into a number they think is greater than the green dice number. The student with highest number that beats the dealer and other players wins the round. Had the orange die been <, then the players or teams would be trying to get the lowest number. The blank die can be added to create 7 place values as a zero. The zero may not be used as the first digit. The player or team that wins the most rounds gets first place. As students master ordering dice to create the highest or lowest number, you can add place values (more dice) or shorten the time per round with the sand timers to increase the pace and fun!

Justin Bieber gladdened his 62.2 million admirers on Instagram with a throwback picture of him and Selena Gomez.
The photo of the young ex-couple had a caption "Feels". Justin kisses Selena on the pic.
23-year-old Gomez and 22-year-old Bieber parted almost 2 years ago. They were on and off since 2011. It looks like the two keep connection.
Selena and Justin spend time in Beverly Hills (California). That was in November. He sang serenades "My Girl" and "Sorry" to her.
This December the singer recollected about Selena again. He shared a photo of them as a couple. The duo is holding hands. The caption reads "Crazy throwback".
Gomez told only two things after her ex has won his 1st Grammy last month. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight the star told that she was happy for Justin and considered it to be cool.
Meanwhile Bieber shared with Billboard in November that he was proud of the woman Gomez is now. According to him, his love can never die.


Phoenix—The delays caused by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) risk-averse approach to drug approvals can be harmful—and even deadly—to patients. But in his new report, Goldwater Institute National Investigative Reporter Mark Flatten explains that times may be changing when it comes to approving potentially lifesaving treatments.
One of the simplest examples of how the FDA's bureaucracy is harming people is one of the most common drugs: aspirin. In his report, Flatten delineates the long history of FDA unwillingness to recognize the heart benefits of aspirin, continuing through the present. The death toll is real. It took five years for the FDA to accept aspirin's benefits in preventing a second heart attack, despite overwhelming evidence. That delay alone accounted for a quarter-million deaths, if the agency's own estimates are accurate. Even today, the FDA refuses to recognize the benefits of aspirin in preventing a first heart attack, even though the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Heart Association support this finding. The USPSTF also recommends daily aspirin use for certain patients to help prevent colorectal cancer, yet another benefit the FDA refuses to accept.
Fortunately, the passage of federal Right to Try legislation—championed by the Goldwater Institute—is ushering in a new era, one in which the public and politicians recognize that the quest for absolute certainty carries deadly consequences. "Right to Try makes it easier for terminally ill patients to seek treatments that were otherwise unavailable to them, but this vital reform is just one step on the way to fixing a fundamentally broken approval system," Flatten said.
Read the full investigative report here.
The Goldwater Institute drives results by working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and strengthen the freedom guaranteed to all Americans in the constitutions of the United States and all 50 states. With the blessing of its namesake, the Goldwater Institute opened in 1988. Its early years focused on defending liberty in Barry Goldwater's home state of Arizona. Today, the Goldwater Institute is a national leader for constitutionally limited government respected by the left and right for its adherence to principle and real-world impact. No less a liberal icon than the New York Times calls the Goldwater Institute a "watchdog for conservative ideals" that plays an "outsize role" in American political life.

5 Amazon Prime Video Originals you should be binge watching now
Image: Amazon Prime Video
By Alana Wulff 2018-08-23 05:31:01 UTC
There's no doubt we all love a good binge session.
But with all this amazing content floating around, how do we sift between shows that might illicit a slight chuckle or an intrigued raised eyebrow, from the series we simply can't tear ourselves away from?
Well, we've done the hard research for you (someone's gotta do it) and it's safe to say you'll be back to living on the lounge with corn chip dust in your hair in no time.
All you need to do is sit back, relax, and grab the remote.
1. Bosch
Based on the best-selling books by Michael Connelly – Bosch follows Los Angeles police detective, Harry Bosch (played by Titus Welliver), as he cracks the toughest homicide cases within the department's 'Hollywood' division.
Tackling the seedy underbelly of L.A. isn't new to Bosch – the poor guy is used to the darker side of life. His mother (a former prostitute) was murdered when he was just a kid, leaving Bosch to spend most of his childhood alone in an orphanage… Annie this ain't.
Highly bingeable and now well and truly into its fourth season (with a fifth already commissioned and on its way), this is one book-to-screen series that has struck a chord with audiences and crime-lovers throughout the world.
2. Goliath
Created by famed writers and producers David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal and The Practice) and Jonathan Shapiro (Boston Legal), this court-room drama series follows the life of Billy McBridge (Billy Bob Thornton).
A former high-flying professional who was once known as the best trial lawyer in America, a forlorn Billy spends his time chasing ambulances to find work. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
After Billy agrees to follow up and investigate a wrongful death suit by the majorly powerful firm he used to work for (and basically created), things take a turn for the serious. Billy is suddenly faced with the option of exacting revenge or seeking redemption from those who have the power to bring him back up, or slam him back down.
It's pretty much the biggest on-screen David and Goliath battle since Erin Brockovich.
3. Jack Ryan
Feel like an adrenaline-pumping thriller that will leave you clinging to the edge of your seat during each episode? Well, the universe has provided small-screen action and drama junkies with the ultimate hit.
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan will shake you awake with twists and turns, intrigue and a fast-paced narrative that never seems to slow down.
Ryan (played by the one and only John Krasinski) is living life as your average CIA analyst – that is until he's recruited for a life-or-death field assignment. You see, Ryan has uncovered a pattern in terrorist communications that could take down America and it's up to him to find the bad guy and save the world. What follows is Jack's attempt to capture the extremely dangerous lone figure.
While the show won't be released until Aug. 31, it gives us just enough time to wrap our head around the fact that Jim Halpert from The Office is now a butt-kicking, action hero spy. The show has already been renewed for a second season, and what's more, it stars Australian actress, Abbie Cornish, as the female lead.
Feel like you've heard the name Jack Ryan before? That's because you have. Created by famed author Tom Clancy back in 1984, Jack Ryan has since popped up in 20 books and five different movies. Guys, there's a reason it's so popular.
4. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
If you haven't caught an episode of this Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated comedy series yet it's about time someone slapped you across the arm with their purse.
Set in New York during the 1950s, Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) is your quintessential stay-at-home wife – a lively spirit trapped behind the apron springs of a repressed society that still believes it's a woman's duty to stay at home and a man's responsibility to go out and earn a living.
Midge is a strong Jewish woman with a fondness for voicing her opinions – and unfortunately for her (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), Midge's failing stand-up comic husband decides he's ditching her for another dame. Incensed by his decision, a frustrated Midge decides to give the mic a try and whaddya know – she's a laugh riot!
This is the tale of a complicated and hilarious women, and her stand-up routines couldn't be more reflective of what many women still feel today. Now in its second season, this show is both entertaining and on-point.
5. The Man in the High Castle
This jaw-dropping series based on the award-winning novel by Philip K. Dick is a terrifyingly compelling look at what the world would have been like had America lost World War II to the Germans and Japanese.
In this instance, the US is ruled by both countries – and times are dire. When Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) is handed a movie cannister containing film footage that appears to depict a world where America did in fact win the war, she starts believing the recording is actually linked to an alternate reality.
Executive produced by Ridley Scott, this nail-biting series will premiere its third season on Oct. 5 this year, and you'd better believe it's taking the hypothetical and truly running with it.
To catch up on these shows, you'll need to grab an Amazon Prime Video subscription. This service, as part of your Amazon Prime membership, will get you the whole package. It includes action, drama, comedy and more - available to stream now.

Oily beans often mean the death of inexpensive home grinders.
They're tough, sticky little trolls that create a lot of static and clog up the burrs.
Enter the Bodum Bistro grinder.
This little dandy was created specifically to prevent this tragedy and keep you grinding up fresh coffee no matter which beans you prefer.
Take a stroll through my Bodum Bistro Grinder review, and find out if this is the grinder for you.
The Bodum Bistro grinder is meant for the budget homebrewer who is just getting started.
Its 14 different grind settings are more accurate than most grinders for the same price, and you can expect a consistent grind each time.
The Bistro is made from special materials to keep it free from static. This unique feature allows the Bistro to avoid getting clogged with old grounds and seriously reduces cleaning time.
Its fluid, modern design and small footprint make it a welcome addition to even the smallest kitchen, and its affordable price tag allows it to fit within even the smallest budgets.
Check out this quick video for a brief introduction to the Bistro burr grinder.
The Bistro is an entry-level home grinder, and there are a couple of things you should know before diving in headfirst.
These types of grinders aren't going to give you a huge range of grinding options, and some may be as good as grinding by hand.
You shouldn't expect to find a ton (if any) of convenient features, because these grinders are designed to be simple.
This is not me trying to squash all your dreams of becoming the greatest homebrewer, adored by family and friends; this is me setting the stage.
These grinders have limited features because they are inexpensive and approachable.
The Bistro is Bodum's latest entry into home grinding and is meant to accompany the Bistro Automatic Pour-Over. Its claim to fame is its non-static-ness (inventing words here).
The static-free materials keep grounds from becoming lodged between the burrs and causing jams.
An attractive side effect is that you rarely have to disassemble and clean this machine.
It offers relatively few grind settings compared to high-quality grinders, but its quality of grind is on par with the best.
What you select is what you get, a feature hard to find among inexpensive burr grinders.
Additionally, it looks less like a dull kitchen appliance and more like a fancy restaurant gizmo.
Its appearance alone may convince you to place it front and center on your counter top.
This grinder is great for the beginner on a budget, looking for an intro to the world of manual coffee.
For the quality you get, the Bistro is a steal.
Static-free materials keep both the interior and exterior clean.
The modern design is both attractive and practical.
An even grind across all settings.
A relatively small number of grind settings.
Basic controls without any convenient features.
Among beginner grinders, a low price isn't the most unique quality, but the Bodum Bistro sits at a price point usually reserved for the grinders-to-avoid.
You can easily bring one of these machines home without breaking into the triple digits.
For the quality you get (which we will dive into soon), the price will make you do a double take. Any newcomer will find the Bistro one hell of a deal, even after a year of extended use.
The most unique, and best, aspect of the Bodum Bistro is that it is virtually static free.
This may seem trivial, but I assure you that it is not something to be taken lightly.
Oily beans are one of the worst enemies of burr grinders.
Like kryptonite to Superman, oily beans can throw your grinder into a messy shutdown. These grounds will take up residence within your burrs, which can create a jam over time.
This is why many grinders require constant, painstaking cleaning. Some models only need cleaning about once a month, while others need it just about every other grind.
The Bistro, on the other hand, hardly ever needs to be cleaned at all, and this is because it is designed to be static free.
Many experienced home brewers would find this hard to believe (and so did I), but grounds just fall right throw.
Use the Bistro for three months straight and its burrs will be just as clean as they were in the first week.
This static-proof cleanliness also serves another important purpose: a clean grinder is a long-lasting grinder.
Grounds and oils that build up within the moving parts will gradually wear it down. The Bodum Bistro will outlive most other grinders because it prevents this buildup from even happening.
A set of plastic spokes gives a nice little pull to keep your grounds flowing smoothly through the burrs and into the catcher below, which is (surprise) also static proof.
The grounds container is made from borosilicate glass, which, besides sounding like something from space, is anti-static.
Have you ever seen a sci-fi where the characters go into a static-free lab that requires that they wear those puffy, white, full-body suits?
All the funky, glass, science stuff adorning the lab table in that room is made from borosilicate glass. That fact alone should make you feel like you're about to craft up an extraordinary brew.
In addition to the non-mess inside, there will also be a non-mess outside your grinder.
Static is what causes grounds to "hop" when you're trying to pour. In the language of coffee, "no static" means "no sponge," because your grounds will flow freely into your brewer.
One thing Bodum is known for is its clever design.
All of their products are both funky and chic, but not overdone. They are modern with a playfully minimalist flair.
When the eggheads at Bodum got together to whip together the Bistro grinder, they didn't forget their roots.
This grinder's body is made from a special plastic that is both scratch resistant and smooth to the touch without being glossy.
The body itself has a slim profile with a slightly organic shape.
The hopper is scratch-proof clear plastic and extends like a transparent cone from the top of the body.
Like I said earlier, the grounds catcher is made from borosilicate glass, but it has a silicon band wrapped around its waist that proudly displays the Bodum brand.
It fits so neatly underneath the grounds' spout that it looks like a part of the whole machine.
On the side and on the face are bright red controls that stand out like a statement piece on a trendster's monochromatic wardrobe.
You can choose matte black for the body or you (ever the eccentric) can decide between lime green or pale red.
The Bodum Bistro is also smaller than many other grinders and will easily fit on most countertops, no matter how cluttered.
Though it is small, it is a fun addition that will liven up any kitchen.
This grinder may not have as many grind settings as others, but it does the best with what it has.
Many consumer grinders offer a large range of settings but drop the ball on grind consistency.
You are just as likely to get small particles in your coarse, French-press grind as you are to get some serious clumps in your espresso dose.
Having a consistent grind is just as important as choosing the right grind size.
An inconsistent grind creates an unknown variable, which means you could end with a great cup in the morning and a stanky cup that same night, never knowing why.
The Bodum Bistro offers only 14 grinds but handles each masterfully.
Your French-press grind won't slip through the fine metal screen. Your pour-over grind won't throw off your flow rate. Your espresso grind won't clump up and mess up your timing.
When you turn the grind dial, you can expect to get exactly what you select, time after time.
The Bodum Bistro is a great entry-level grinder with a few unique features (especially the static-free construction), and it does a good job at its price point.
You value the precision and uniformity of steel burrs. Steel burrs tend to grind beans to a more uniform particle size. This can be important in high-end espresso machines, where the short water contact makes uniform extraction a big deal. But really, every brewing process benefits from uniform grind size.
You use a range of grinds on a regular basis. The limited range of grinds (14, compared to 40 or more for high-end grinders) can put a crimp in your caffeinated adventures. Do you crave hand-pulled espresso shots on Friday, then break out the French press on Saturday? Check out our review of the best burr grinders.
You like the hands-on approach. For the maximum in full-contact brewing, a hand grinder gives you a fine control. Plus, grinding by hand gives you a connection to the finished product that goes above and beyond pushing a button.
When I go shopping, I like to look at all the options before making my final decision. I am a shop clerk's worst nightmare because I will put my favorites on hold while I scour the other stores for better buys.
You may not be this way, but there are a few other grinders worth looking at before taking the plunge.
The three grinders you may want to consider are the Capresso Infinity, the Baratza Encore, and the Hario Skerton.
First up, the Capresso Infinity is another great budget buy.
Its hopper holds 8.8 oz., and the motor spins the burrs at a low 500 RPM to keep your beans cool.
It has only two more grind settings than the Bistro, and a comparable grind quality.
The low RPM also helps to prevent static buildup, but it is not as effective as the Bodum Bistro. It is a little more expensive, and looks a little plain.
Next we have the Encore, which comes from Baratza, a well trusted name among home brewers.
With an appearance similar to the Capresso Infinity, this grinder isn't going to take first place in any beauty contests.
It is more expensive than the Infinity, but it has more than double the grind settings and an even lower RPM.
Across all of its 40 settings, the Encore is a precise and reliable grinder.
Like the Bodum Bistro, you can expect a consistent grind each time, but with more allowance for fine tuning. Read our full review of the Encore here!
If you want to read a little more, click here.
Finally, the Hario Skerton may be an odd alternative to include since it is a manual, not an electric grinder.
Yet, because of this, it is much cheaper than the others.
It uses ceramic burrs, which are naturally static proof, and much more heat resistant than steel burrs.
It is one of the best manual grinders of 2019, and is as precise as many high-quality electric grinders, and offers just as many settings as the Infinity.
The main drawback, of course, is that it takes actual work to use, but it's great if you're looking for a way to show off your sweet biceps.
Click here if you think this grinder is a better choice for you.
For the sake of your grinder's longevity, cleanliness is key.
The Bistro is a machine that attacks that problem at the source, and doesn't resort to wishful thinking by tossing in cleaning tips in the manual.
The static-free materials used in the Bistro will keep it free from waste buildup, and grounds will flow freely through, reducing the need to clean and extending the grinder's lifespan.
The anti-static materials will also ensure that grounds go nowhere but your brewer.
I hope my Bodum Bistro Grinder review helped settle some of your questions, and you can click here if you are ready to check it out.
The review of the Bodum conical burr grinder fails to mention the finest setting is still not fine enough for a quality domestic french press machine.
I'm taking mine back to the store because it simply doesn't do the job.
Hi, I have a sunbeam em6910 which wants a much finer grind than most pre ground supermarket options offer in order to get a decent pressure and therefore cream happening. How fine will the bistro grind for this use or compared to your typical supermarket product?

Area 51 Revelation : Ex-Soldier Reveals Experiments Involving Mass Alien Abduction
Paranormal Globe - Paul August 19, 2016	1,961 Views
Area 51 is possibly the most secretive and heavily guarded place on earth. And that is most likely the reason why it remains one of the most fascinating premises in popular culture. Area 51 has long been the subject of widespread speculations and conspiracy theories involving extraterrestrial beings and UFOs. And to fuel all the conspiracy theories revolving around the United States Air Force facility, whistle blowers claiming to have worked in the base and having witnessed UFOs and extraterrestrials have occasionally come forward with various revelations. The latest revelation comes from an ex-soldier, who claims to have a lifelong contact with aliens.
Bill Brooks, the latest whistle blower on Area 51, joined the United States Army in 1968. He claims that he was subjected to an alien abduction while serving at the nuclear weapons base at Sennelager, Germany, as reported by Daily Star. He further believes that he had been in contact with extra-terrestrials since he was a boy, but says that experiments done on him at Area 51 erased most of his memories.
Brooks says that his memories of the incidents involving him and the aliens were all somehow erased and he had completely forgotten about them until he was 44 years old. This was when he experienced a sort of a "memory download". According to Bill, who became a professional musician after finishing his military career, all the memories of his experience with aliens had been erased by agents from Area 51. But the memories came back when he encountered an UFO on his way back home after a gig, when he sort of experienced a "Total Recall."
According to Bill, he had been told that the Sennelager base in Germany was shared with a detachment of American agents who were from Area 51, the top secret military base in Nevada. The ex-soldier claims to have witnessed a mass abduction, as soldiers in the base were directed to walked into a bright light. He says that one of the Area 51 agents had him at gunpoint while ordering him to "walk towards the light" to which he had to involuntarily oblige. Brooks described the agent as :
"He was man dressed in black, with chiseled blonde hair, who probably was American, wearing a little blue patch on his right sleeve".
He says he can't remember what happened next, as he lost consciousness as soon as he entered the light. Later on he remembers being forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which prevented him from disclosing any information about the incident. Brooks believes he was tricked into signing up for the experiment after he was told that an incident from earlier which had put him into trouble would "all go away" and that he would receive an extra two weeks of leave should he sign up.
This, however, was not Brooks first encounter with aliens. When he was 10 years old, while lying in his corn field, he was approached by a family of four tall, blonde, humanoid aliens — commonly called as Nordics by alien experts. Brooks says that the Nordics took him for a ride in their ship, told him that mankind was in trouble, and asked him if he wanted to help.
Another incident involving Brooks and aliens was when he was working as a trucker after leaving the army. He says that he saw a cow being levitated by the tractor beam of a UFO. When the aliens saw him, they pulled him up too, did experiments on him, and released him after erasing his memory.
Despite meeting aliens so many times, he is still not sure about the nature of relation between aliens and world governments. Yet, he thinks that those in the know are frightened of what they can do.
"I haven't got the foggiest idea in reality, but why the secrecy? I only know what has happened to me, and I do feel I've been used, and that makes me angry."
Bill does have a point as the Government has been extremely secretive about the matter. For instance the existence of Area 51 was only acknowledged by the CIA in 2013, revealing that it was a military base primarily used for the development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.
Brooks has prepared a manuscript recounting his experience with the extra-terrestrial and the Area 51 agents, titled 44: Based on an Ex-Soldier's True Story of Life-Long Encounters Involving Alien Abduction, which is now available.
