Religious Fundamentalism: Spilling blood in the name of God
By Siddharth Deb | Saturday, Dec 7, 2019 (11:12 am)
"God fights on the side with the best artillery"… These words of Legendary French Commander Napoléon Bonaparte have sadly become the reality of modern terrorism.
The great inventor, philosopher and poet Leonardo Da Vinci or better known as the 'Renaissance Man' once proclaimed, "Every man must live by a code."
The saying cannot be more ubiquitous than modern-day warfare in the contemporary world that is hardened in the fire of fundamentalism, particularly of religious zeal!
It is noteworthy to understand the three-dimensional and complex essence of human nature knitted in fine fabrics, yet combustive in nature.
Religion has always played the role of both a benefactor and the defector for human civilizations. Be it the pagan worshippers or the modern day cult-followers, the philosophy of religion has, in one way or the other, its deep rooted indictments in violence.
The modern-day war is no more about philosophies, nationalism, uprisings or the fight to right the wrong. The business of war has become a manifestation of various religious ideologies which are in a bare-fisted knuckle-fight to prove one's supremacy over the other.
But if we dig deep into the annals of religion, it starts like every other revolution that is meant to protect the interests of the oppressed and to provide a sense of security in times of fear and turmoil.
It then gradually splinters into fragments that are shaped according to the ideological interests of religious zealots. But the question of the hour is what or who is to be blamed? Shall the gods be summoned or the zealots to be blamed that hide under the shady cloak of religious supremacy steeped in own vested interests.
Neither Islam nor Buddhism or any other religion preach violence in particular, but Islamic fundamentalism or the quite recent massacres in the name of religion in the Rohingya region of Mayanmar showed the world a very different picture of religion and it's adversities on human civilization as a whole.
How many more wars the civilization has to witness and suffer in the name of gods…
In the modern age, following the decline of ideas such as the divine right of kings and with the rise of nationalism, terrorism has more often been based on anarchism, and revolutionary politics. But terrorism has witnessed a paradigm shift since the 1980s, however, there has a magnanimous increase in terrorist activity motivated by religion.
Since the ancient times, important symbolic acts linked to religion like blood sacrifice have their roots embedded to violence in the name of religion and ultimately terrorism. Political and religious motivations have always insight violent acts such as suicide terrorism, self-sacrifice, or martyrdom.
Analysing the Christian tradition, it sheds light on the long history of religious groups that promoted self-immolative acts and acts of such extremities can be contemporarily attributed to modern political groups such as the Irish Republican Army.
In the same way every religion has its own unique way of demonstrating violence.
Insurgency analysts and terroristic behavioural experts often come to common conclusions that such acts are a result of systematic and psychologically oriented procedures.
Suicide terrorism has time and again proved extremely efficient, inexpensive, easily organized, and extremely difficult to counter, delivering maximum damage against little cost.
Psychologically speaking, such shocking nature of suicide attack accelerates public attention while at the same time effectively glorifies the culture of martyrdom, the benefit being more people are attracted towards these so-called heroic acts.
Retaliation against suicide attacks increases the group's sense of victimization and commitment to adhere to a particular doctrine and policy. This process serves to encourage martyrdom, and hence suicide terrorism.
Robert Pape, a political scientist who specializes in suicide terrorism, concludes that the huge vested interests with little to expend marks reasons of most suicide attacks as "religious".
The question of the hour remains, how much blood is still left to the spilled in the name of religion? It's a question quite often supposed to haunt any civilized man who values the qualities of peace.

This is a commuter campus. It has been since the university started, and still is. End of story.
However, the tide is turning. New dorms and new apartments in two consecutive years illustrate the change this campus is experiencing. On campus life, if not impactful yet, is growing.
I have lived on campus; I have lived off campus. And there's a clear result in this titanic struggle for housing situations. The answer: it depends.
As a freshman, I lived in the dorms here at UCCS. I didn't have to, but I did. I had friends from high school that lived at home and commuted. I knew then, and I know now, that mine was the best course.
I got involved. I was successful academically, socially and with extracurricular activities.
I know this wasn't solely due to my physical location, but it sure helped. Getting involved meant a walk out the door, not a car ride through brutal traffic. Getting involved meant knocking on a door down the hallway, not a long distance phone call.
I started working at The Scribe in the fall of my freshmen year, and I know I wouldn't have done that if I lived off-campus. Now, The Scribe is a large part of my life and one of the hallmarks of my college experience. I found that, in part, by living on campus.
Having something to tie me to the school helped immensely. On campus, you're more likely to find your own niche.
But then I got older. As a junior, I am now living off-campus and not at home. I know now, and I will still know in five years, that this was the best course.
Personal independence is now the hallmark of where I want to head. And, to me, that includes living on your own: food, rent and other grown-up things that you only experience living off campus without a safety net.
Advice from someone who has been there is often the most potent, if you choose to listen. It's up to you how you go through college, not me. But take this nugget of information and run with it.
If you can, if it is in your hands to make this call, if you are financially secure enough, do this: live on campus as a freshman and/or sophomore. The experience is so much more vivid, so much more intense, and it is the only time in your life when you will be able to experience this. Take advantage of it.
Then, when you become an upperclassmen, move off-campus and make your own way. The best way to learn is by doing, and take the leap to thrust yourself in the fire.
You only do college once. Make it the best years you can.

1. Lisey's Story- Stephen King. I keep going on and on about this book, and I will forever. It's the most beautiful love story I've ever read, as well as a very real look at how people deal with grief and loss. It's my favorite book in the whole world.
2. The 5 Love Languages. Caleb and I read this as part of our premarital counseling, and it was incredibly effective with making us think about the way we communicated love to each other. This is a great book for couples, but it really can relate to everyone in your life and help you to better communicate with them.
3. The Little Prince. This book is simple enough for your kids to read, and its a sweet little story, but has a lot of very important lessons like loving and letting go and working hard even if you don't immediately see the rewards.
4. Blue Like Jazz. This is a Christian book, but its great for everyone. Its one of the most honest books I've ever read. If you've ever found your journey of faith to be messy or confusing, this book is a breath of fresh air.
5. The Fault in Our Stars. This is the only other real "novel" on this list. This story is beautiful. I don't really know how to talk about it without giving something away, so just know that you will need many tissues.
Blue Like Jazz was AMAZING!!

City of Spies
Coming May 31, 2016!
"I'll tell you after you say yes."
"So I'm going to say yes?"
He paused, lips twisting sardonically. "Yes."
CITY OF SPIES, the second Pagan Jones adventure.
Celebrating her escape from East Germany and the success of her new film, teen starlet Pagan Jones returns to Hollywood to reclaim her place among the rich and the famous. She's thrilled to be back, but memories of her time in Berlin—and elusively handsome secret agent Devin Black—continue to haunt her daydreams. The whirlwind of parties and celebrities just isn't enough to distract Pagan from the excitement of being a spy or dampen her curiosity about her late mother's mysterious past.
When Devin reappears with an opportunity for Pagan to get back into the spy game, she is eager to embrace the role once again—all she has to do is identify a potential Nazi war criminal. A man who has ties to her mother. Taking the mission means that she'll have to star in a cheesy film and dance the tango with an incredibly awful costar, but Pagan knows all the real action will happen off-set, in the streets of Buenos Aires.
But as Pagan learns more about the man they're investigating, she realizes that the stakes are much higher than they could have ever imagined, and that some secrets are best left undiscovered.

At Home on the Hill
Hill Flea Markets to Be Relocated Soon Due to Hine Construction
by Andrea Swalec January 29, 2015 at 12:20 pm 1,393 0
The dozens of vendors who sell jewelry, antiques and art in white tents near Eastern Market will move within months.
Now that the redevelopment of Hine Junior High School has the green light from the city, talks are ramping up to relocate Eastern Market's weekend flea markets to make way for the work. The vendors who usually operate just north of the school will move onto 7th Street SE, representatives for the flea market, developer and community groups said.
Seventh Street SE will be closed to traffic from Pennsylvania Avenue SE to C Street SE on weekends starting in April or May, Stanton Development Corporation vice president Alex Golding said.
"The market dates aren't definite because we don't know how long hazmat [work] will take," Golding said about initial work set to start at 8th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue SE in mid-February.
Permits for the relocation that's years in the making have been approved, according to Barry Margeson, market manager for the D.C. Office of Property Management. The exact layout of the market will likely change during different phases of construction.
The manager of the flea market held on Sundays said 7th Street won't provide room for all 100 of the 10-by-10-foot market booths.
"There's no way to accommodate all my vendors," Michael Berman, executive director of The Flea Market at Eastern Market, said. "We're working now on how many spaces can be accommodated."
Jerry Sroufe, co-chair of Eastern Market Metro Community Association, echoed concerns about a shortage of space for vendors.
ANC 6B 02 Commissioner Diane Hoskins, who represents the Eastern Market area, said she was hopeful that locals and developers could work to support the viability of the markets. Being more visible from the Eastern Market Metro station could even give the markets a boost, she said.
Hoskins, a C Street SE resident, said she appreciated the developers' regular communication with local groups, including their agreement to attend weekly meetings.
"I'm encouraged by the fact that the developers have committed to sitting down on a regular basis," she said.
The manager of the flea market held on Saturdays, Carol Wright, did not respond to an inquiry.
An update about the Hine Project will be provided at the ANC 6B meeting set to be held Feb. 10 at the Hill Center (921 Pennsylvania Ave. SE).
Stanton and its partners, collectively known as Stanton-EastBanc, will replace the closed school with seven stories of retail space, offices, underground parking and more than 150 residential units, some of which will be affordable and designated for seniors. After a long fight by a group of locals to reduce the height and density of the buildings, the D.C. Court of Appeals rejected a request to send development plans back to the D.C. Zoning Commission. The $150 million project is slated to be finished in late 2017 or early 2018.
Shoppers at the flea markets can expect to find a familiar set of vendors on 7th Street, Berman said.
"It won't be the same layout, but we hope to accommodate as many of our longterm vendors in our temporary space," he said.

I've been trying to write something in response to Charlottesville for the past two weeks, but I've had a hard time finding the words. It's not that I've been unclear about what happened there or who was to blame for the violence of that day or for Heather Heyer's death, or about not-only-Trump's moral cowardice in equating those who committed violence against the white supremacists and neo-Nazis—whether that violence was in self-defense or not—of equating those people with the neo-Nazis and white supremacists themselves. It's that so many people with platforms much, much larger than mine have already said most of what I would have said, and it has been difficult to keep up. Better to amplify those voices in the small ways that I can, it has seemed to me, than to engage in the clamoring for attention that putting my own voice out there would have been. So that's mostly what I've been doing, sharing/forwarding/talking about/planning to teach what have seemed to me the necessary and worthwhile things that other people have said.
I was able to pour some of my outrage into the statement about Charlottesville that I wrote for my faculty union, but that statement is by definition not a personal one, and so, while writing it helped me feel I'd done something worthwhile, it didn't actually do much to help me figure out what I wanted to say. I'd thought a lot about the intersection of racism and antisemitism in my own life as a white Jew during the summer of 2016, when I wrote a series of letters that Jonathan Penton published as "The Lines That Antisemitism and Racism Draw"1 in December of that year in his online journal, Unlikely Stories. (I posted one of those letters to my blog earlier this month.) Again, however—here, here, here and here, for example—others were already writing about being white and Jewish movingly and persuasively, and they were doing so in more or less precisely the terms I would have chosen. What they weren't writing about, however, was where I ended up in the letters that I wrote to Jonathan, and that is perhaps something I can add to the conversation.
So [Rosalyn Spencer, the woman who edited #BlackArtMatters, is] going through the [pool of] submissions[.] Lots of fine stuff from black folk, lots of fine stuff from non-black folk. There is, however, only one submission from a Jewish academic, who [in a critical article about James Baldwin] starts talking about how, since he's Jewish, he knows how black people really feel, except only partially, but totally blackly.
Jonathan's irony notwithstanding, I trusted his description of that academic's racist paternalism because it is very familiar to me from when I was younger and finding my way more and more deeply into both the Orthodox and Conservative Jewish youth movements. However, when Jonathan asked me, "one Jewish writer to another," to submit something, anything, so that academic's work would not be the only piece in the pool of submissions to represent us—Jonathan did not publish it—I had to say no. Still, I couldn't get what that academic said out of my head, and so, early in the morning of our first day in Edinburgh, while my wife and son were still sleeping, I started what became a series of six letters that I wrote from three different countries—four, if you include the last one, which I wrote after we returned to the US. It's this last one that I want to share with you now. Not because I think it says anything definitive about racism and antisemitism, but because where it ends, when I wrote it, surprised and even frightened me a little, feelings I have learned to trust as a sign I've hit on an idea that needs to be explored further. And because I think the desire for that exploration is something that what happened in Charlottesville, and that everything packed into what happened in Charlottesville—past, present, and future—should compel in us. The letter, slightly edited, is below.
We've been home for a couple of days now, and we're finally settled back in enough that I can take this time to write without feeling guilty that I should be doing something else. Tomorrow, I need to begin prepping for the new semester, which starts in about a week, so this will have to be the last letter I send you.
Not too long after Michael Brown was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, someone started the hashtag #CrimingWhileWhite. It seemed at first like a marvelous idea: white people tweeting stories about times they'd been stopped by the police and been treated politely, kindly, even indulgently—the precise opposite of the kind of treatment all-too-many Black people have come to expect from law enforcement. The more I read the #CrimingWhileWhite tweets, however, the more skeptical I became. Yes, there were plenty of 140-character-long stories that fit the hashtag's purpose perfectly, and, yes, the effect of telling those stories one after the other was to highlight the fundamental unfairness of how cops all too often treat Black people. Highlighting that unfairness, however, seemed to be about as deep as the hashtag could go. Don't get me wrong. Fairness is important, but, as a framework for dealing with white privilege, it has definite limitations.
This default focus on fairness was why I didn't post my own #CrimingWhileWhite story, despite the fact that it matched the hashtag's intended message. Basically, a cop pulled me over because my rear license plate was missing, and then he let me go with just a warning that I should replace it as soon as possible. He didn't even write me a ticket. The full narrative of that encounter, however, is far more complex than this brief summary suggests, and Twitter's 140-character format would have meant the loss of that complexity. So I tried instead to write the story as an essay in itself, but nothing I wrote did justice to what I thought I was trying to say, so I put it aside. I want to tell you the story now because I think it's relevant to what I've been writing in these letters.
About thirty years ago, I was driving my girlfriend home late one night along an otherwise deserted stretch of the Northern State Parkway. From behind us, a patrol car's all-of-a-sudden flashing lights illuminated the dark. At first, I didn't think the lights were for me, so I moved over into the right lane to let the car pass. It, however, moved into the right lane behind me, and a voice came over its loudspeaker telling me to pull over, which—confused about why I needed to; I knew I wasn't speeding—I of course did.
He watched me take the registration out of the glove compartment, then walked over to where he wanted me to stand.
"Who's in the car with you?" he asked when I got there, taking my license and registration from me.
"I was buttoning my shirt," I told him, and I reached to open the outer placket so he could see what I was talking about.
"What?" I asked, a bit of a challenge in my voice, since I didn't at first understand why he'd so suddenly changed his tone.
I glanced quickly around and noticed that his partner, whom I could not see clearly, had stepped out of their vehicle. I don't remember if they had their guns drawn, or if their hands were at their holsters, or if maybe one had his gun out while the other was poised to draw if he had to. Or maybe their hands were nowhere near their guns. I really can't recall. What I do know is how suddenly afraid and even more confused I was that they were now treating me as if I might be armed.
I held the front of my shirt open and up, while the officer shined his flashlight on me. "Keep the shirt up," he said, "and turn around." I did as I was told.
"Where are you driving this late at night?" he asked, his voice considerably more relaxed now that he knew I didn't have a gun tucked into my pants.
"I'm taking my girlfriend home," I said as I straightened my shirt.
"No, I didn't," I said, and he took me to the back of the car to show me.
That was the end of it. I got back into my car; he walked back to his vehicle; and he and his partner drove away. As I said before, he didn't even write me a ticket.
"I don't know what they would or would not have done," I said. "What I know is that they could have, and I'm glad nothing I did made them think they had to." I turned the key, the engine turned over, I pulled back out onto the parkway, and I drove her home.
Not once—and if this is not a sign of white privilege, I don't know what is—not once in all the years since that incident took place did I think about it in racial terms. Indeed, I always thought about it in terms of gender, what would have happened if I'd tried to be more of a man, like my girlfriend suggested I should have, and what it meant that she would make that kind of suggestion in the first place. Then I saw the #CrimingWhileWhite hashtag, and I understood that this was a story I could contribute to that effort, but that's not what made me want to tell you the story now. Rather, I am telling you this because of how I felt when I heard on NPR—I was driving home from work a few weeks before my family and I left for Europe—the audio of Philando Castile's girlfriend talking to Castile, and to the cop who shot him, as Castile sat in the seat next to her, and she couldn't do anything to stop him from dying.
The similarities between my story and his started to haunt me almost immediately. I was driving with my girlfriend; so was he—and their daughter was in his car was well. He was pulled over for a broken taillight; I was pulled over because my rear license plate was missing. In each case, the cop believed a routine traffic stop might turn into something violent and deadly. Jeronimo Yanez, the cop who stopped Castile, said that Castile resembled a suspect in an armed robbery; the cops who stopped me thought I might be a car thief. Castile told Yanez that he had a licensed gun in the car; the cop in my situation wanted to make sure I did not have a gun tucked into the waistband of my pants. Philando Castile died because Yanez thought Castile was reaching for his gun, not his wallet; the cop who stopped me gave me the chance to prove I didn't have a gun, and I walked away with my life. Castile was Black, I sat in my car thinking after I'd parked and turned off the radio. I am white. Is that fact the only reason I'm alive today? Do I literally owe my life to the color of my skin?
The question may seem melodramatic at first. After all, my being white might have had nothing to do with the fact that those officers did not shoot me; it's entirely possible that they would have treated a Black version of me in the same way. What makes the question a valid one, however, is that there's no way to know for sure. To take it from another, less dramatic perspective, ask yourself why the cop who spoke with me didn't write me a ticket. My guess is that your first impulse would be to say because he and I were both white. Again, to be fair to him, there's no way to know for sure. He might have chosen not to write the ticket because I was young and he wanted to cut me a break, and it is certainly within the realm of possibility that he would have made the same choice for a young Black man. I've always wondered, however, if he didn't write me the ticket because he didn't know I was Jewish. Because, in other words, he didn't know he had before him a chance to give a "cheap Jew" at least some small measure of what all cheap Jews "deserve," i.e., to be made to pay.
I have no doubt that most people who aren't Jewish will say that I am being melodramatic, and maybe even some Jews will too, at least at first. I'd be willing to bet, however, that if you asked those Jews a second time, most of them would say something like, "There's no way to know for sure, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Richard is right." Because Jews know about antisemitism what Black people, and all people of color of course, know about racism, that it is not merely an unhappy accident which some white people escape and some don't. Rather, it is a meaningful and functional part of our culture that lives in everyone who calls our culture home. Everyone. The only real question is where you position yourself in relation to the lines that racism and antisemitism draw.
To give whiteness a body in this way—and for my purposes here, I don't think it matters whether you believe whiteness to be constructed or to signify a genetic race into which people are born—to make it not just about ideas, but about feelings, is to give it also a metaphysics, an ontology, and an epistemology. It is to propose, in other words, that whiteness both asks and offers answers to the question of what it means for white people to be in the world; of what white people can know about that world; and of how we are able to know it. In a book called White, Richard Dyer argues that whiteness roots the answers to these questions in the medieval Christian idea that a body's value is defined by the quality of the spirit that inhabits it. The souls of men, for example, were understood by the Church to be superior to the souls of women, and so men's bodies were valued much more highly than women's. Similarly, the souls of Christians were understood to be far superior to those of the Jews, and so Christian bodies had more value than Jewish bodies.
the persistence of the Manichean dualism of black:white that could be mapped on to skin colour difference; the role of the Crusades in racialising the idea of Christendom (making national/geographic others into enemies of Christ); the gentilising and whitening of the image of Christ and the Virgin in painting; the ready appeal to the God of Christianity in the prosecution of doctrines of racial superiority and imperialism.
Dyer does not argue that Christianity is itself racially white, pointing to the Black church in the United States and the growth of Christianity in Africa and Latin America as obvious evidence to the contrary. Rather, he insists that Christianity "has…been thought and felt in distinctly white ways for most of its history." This notion, that whiteness, and therefore racism, cannot be understood apart from its roots in the same Christianity from which antisemitism emerged suggests to me a new avenue for understanding the relationship between these two forms of hatred. Unfortunately, though, I do not have the time right now to walk down that avenue even just a little bit, As I said, the new semester starts very soon, and I need to prep my classes.
I know, Jonathan, that these letters were not the kind of response you were asking me for when you messaged me about that Jewish academic's submission. Nonetheless, I am happy and grateful that your message to me about him moved me to write. The letters have forced me to push my thinking about race and antisemitism further than I have pushed it in the past, and I have learned some things about myself in the process. I hope you have found the letters thought provoking and useful as well.

The Air Jordan 11 is hollowed ground, forever praised in OG iterations and often panned in styles not worn by Mike. Funky and fearless, Rocket Boy Nift redresses the patent leather silo with hyper color pigment paint that changes color with the climate. Woah. What's that mean though? When it's col, the mesh turns pink and when it's warms up it goes to peach and eventually yellow. The patent leather packs the same properties, ranging from lake blue to teal to sea green as the temperature rises.
Cool concept, but these couldn't possibly be wearable, right? Well, wrong according to RBN who walked the mall, hit the hardwood and even hiked in these.


There are a huge number of employees at all levels in organisations who believe they are capable of gaining Higher Education (HE) qualifications but who also believe that they are excluded from the chance of ever completing them.
The reasons why they have no formal proof of their abilities and skills are manifold; social backgrounds, economic, peer pressure, career breaks, all are understandable and none of them represents a long standing reason to forego education. This degree with its broad entry requirements and absence of examinations is designed to give that cohort of employees the opportunity to realise their potential. As the designer of the programme I am uniquely positioned to understand the traumatic aspect of coming to HE later in life ( I was 46 when I got my first degree).
The programme is modular and can be obtained via work based learning. Much of the learning process will be completed within organisations and the delivery staff engaged on the programme will offer a high level of support and guidance. There are 10 modules split over two years and the final module in both year one and year two are workplace projects based, and each year of study contains 120 credits.
The programme will allow learners to develop research skills and to examine their own and colleagues workplace practices. Students will also be encouraged to examine their previous learning and to present a claim for advanced standing via Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) or Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). There will also be an opportunity to 'customise' the award for employment sectors by specific modular learning outcomes allied to highly specialised content that may be devised via the programme team.
The Centre for Work Based Learning is currently partnering with Acorn Learning Ltd to deliver this programme at the Cardiff Metropolitan University Llandaff campus.

Capitol Riverfront | A walk through the Capitol Riverfront (aka Navy Yard) is an experience straddling Washington DC's future and past simultaneously. As with so many urban ports that have long served as industrial and business centers, the Capitol Riverfront is in the midst of mindset-shifting revitalization. Anchored by Nationals Park, Capitol Riverfront is home to a myriad of eateries such as Cornercopia, Sweetgreen, Bluejacket Brewery, and Takorean. Yards Park is the culmination of the beautiful and thoughtful conversion of a huge stretch of the Anacostia Riverfront, which features elements similar to those found in New York's High Line and Hudson River Park.

Arabic Treebank: Part 3 (ATB3) v 3.2 was developed at the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). It consists of 599 distinct newswire stories from the Lebanese publication An Nahar with part-of-speech (POS), morphology, gloss and syntactic treebank annotation in accordance with the Penn Arabic Treebank (PATB) Guidelines developed in 2008 and 2009. This release represents a significant revision of LDCs previous ATB3 publications: Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 1.0 LDC2004T11 and Arabic Treebank: Part 3 (full corpus) v 2.0 (MPG + Syntactic Analysis LDC2005T20.
The ongoing PATB project supports research in Arabic-language natural language processing and human language technology development. The methodology and work leading to the release of this publication are described in detail in the documentation accompanying this corpus and in two research papers, Enhancing the Arabic Treebank: A Collaborative Effort toward New Annotation Guidelines and Consistent and Flexible Integration of Morphological Annotation in the Arabic Treebank.
ATB3 v 3.2 contains a total of 339,710 tokens before clitics are split, and 402,291 tokens after clitics are separated for the treebank annotation. This release includes all files that were previously made available to the DARPA GALE program community (Arabic Treebank Part 3 - Version 3.1, LDC2008E22). A number of inconsistencies in the 3.1 release data have been corrected here. These include changes to certain POS tags with the resulting tree changes. As a result, additional clitics have been separated, and some previously incorrectly split tokens have now been merged.
One file from ATB3 v 2.0, ANN20020715.0063, has been removed from this corpus as that text is an exact duplicate of another file in this release (ANN20020715.0018). This reduces the number of files from 600 files in ATB3 v 2.0 to 599 files in ATB 3 v 3.2.
The included data are available in many different formats and files, as described in detail in the corpus documentation. The following is a screenshot excerpt taken from one of the new integrated data files: sample.

The Beauty That's There
In Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel "The Idiot", the protagonist of the story, Prince Myshkin, sees a painting by the 16th Century Renaissance painter Hans Holbein the Younger and is at once both captivated and terrified by it. It's the famous Holbein piece The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb (2CV warning to all my Reformed friends. Also, the title is exactly what the piece is, so…). In the story, Prince Myshkin's fascination with the piece is so strong that he alleges it has the power to make a believer lose their faith. This scene in the novel, however, was based on Dostoyevsky's own fascination with the painting. He would stare at the painting in an almost obsessive fashion. For hours at a time he would sit examining the artwork, captivated by the subtle message it conveys of the paradox that Life itself could be subject to Death. It's said that, at times, his wife would literally have to drag him away from the painting or else he would forego sleeping, eating, and drinking, inducing an epileptic seizure (apparently it had happened before).
Dostoyevsky's fascination with the painting is itself fascinating to me. Was it some strange neuroticism that led to this kind of behavior? Probably. But it was his intentional immersion into the masterpiece that produced the inspiration that led to one of his many literary masterpieces in The Idiot. He filled his mind and time with something brilliant, and was able to produce something brilliant in turn.
This kind of activity, what I'll call "intentional immersion", is somewhat of a lost art these days. In a world full of sound bites and tweets, headline after headline filling our newsfeeds, and a constant barrage of notifications drawing us out of any kind of concerted effort to ponder or think or admire for any meaningful length of time, intentionally immersing ourselves into something beautiful or challenging or worthwhile is difficult to make happen.
I experimented with this idea of intentional immersion myself once. During one of my insomniatic episodes, I listened to I, The Mighty's Connector album from front to back two and a half times through. At 45 minutes long, this took me about two hours. The album itself is, in my opinion, a musical masterpiece (it's a "post-hardcore" album, which means it's a little bit on the heavier side of the musical spectrum, although still very poppy and catchy. Just a friendly warning if you're unfamiliar with the genre and your curiosity is piqued). The album is produced and written to flow cohesively from one song to the next, the lyrics are full of plenty of allegory, symbolism, and poeticism to keep your interpretive wheels turning, and the variety of sounds and experimentation on the album keep it fresh from front to back. It has all the elements of a truly fantastic piece of art.
I laid in my bed in the dark, the cool air from the fan blowing on my face, and I was able to devote all of my focus and attention to just listening. I've listened to the album countless times, but on this occasion I noticed things I'd never heard before: how the synth swell covers a subtle key change from E to Ebm into Psychomachia, the title to the song being a reference to a poem from the early 5th Century describing the Christian's battle between various vices and virtues; the once obscure but now obvious reference to the trap of misery intended in the lyrics of The Lying Eyes of Miss Erray; the female harmonies in (No) Faith in Fate that, upon closer inspection, are quite unconventional from a music theory perspective, but serve to magnify the main theme of the song that things don't always go the way you want. And I could go on and on.
At the end, I developed a deeper appreciation for the album because I now know it so much better. I feel I'm much more intimately knowledgeable about the intricacies of the music. I'm much more appreciative of the beauty of the art.
This exercise in intentional immersion has allowed me to write 310 words about an obscure album, from a relatively obscure band, in a relatively obscure genre. I've been able to produce something of value (I hope!) because I intentionally immersed myself in something beautiful. Similar to Dostoyevsky, I've been inspired by certain motifs and patterns in the album that I'm sure will fuel my writing tank at some point down the road. But without intentionally immersing myself into the music, I never would have attained this level of appreciation, inspiration, and knowledge.
Although I do think music is a worthwhile medium to intentionally immerse yourself into, I wonder what benefits would be gained from intentionally immersing myself into other activities: photography and artwork, films, books, etc.. This kind of immersion is obviously hindered by the busy pace of most of our lives, mine included, but I can't help but wonder how much beauty we are missing out on because we don't have the time, focus, or attention spans to see it. And if we don't see it, we can't offer the world anything beautiful in return. Too much static can ruin an otherwise beautiful song, not because it affects the song, but because it distracts us from it. It's interesting to think what kinds of beauty could be released into the world if we decided to regularly take time to block out all the noise and immerse ourselves into the beauty that's there.
So I'm curious: what do you find yourself easily immersed in? Are there any books, albums, poems, films, photographs, landscapes, ideas, topics, etc., that you find particularly mesmerizing? I'd like to invite you to pass anything along that you think fits the bill. My world could stand to be filled with more beauty.
