Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Posted on 16 Dec 2019 by Great Books Guy
Return of the Jedi (1983) Director: Richard Marquand
In another box office smash, George Lucas financed Return of the Jedi himself (it was entirely his goal to free himself from the constraints of Hollywood with the Star Wars sequels). Also as in The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas decided to hire an outside director, Richard Marquand, a welshman who is today best known for directing this film. Several other directors were considered by Lucas, including friends Steven Spielberg and David Lynch. Lawrence "Larry" Kasdan co-wrote the screenplay with Lucas (Kasdan was a writer on other great films like Raiders of the Lost Ark). Originally, this film was to be called "Revenge of the Jedi" but this was changed because George Lucas didn't think it was appropriate for a Jedi to seek revenge. The film employed the use of THX certification for authentic sound quality.
The plot: The Empire is rebuilding its massive Death Star that was destroyed in the first film (episode IV). The Emperor (Ian McDiarmid) is scheduled to visit the newly reconstructed station soon, but a larger workforce is needed to complete construction. Meanwhile, Luke, Leia, and Lando have launched a plot to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. Leia unfreezes Han from carbon while disguised as a bounty hunter but she becomes enslaved. Then Luke appears and is forced to battle the rancor beast below Jabba's lair as entertainment. However, he kills the beast so he and Han (who is blinded from the carbon freeze) are sentenced to be fed to the Sarlacc pit, a snake-like creature that lives in a rather nasty hole in the ground in the middle of the Tatooine desert. Luke enacts a daring plan in which he springs into action, revealing his new light saber – a bright green color. Luke is now a more confident and capable Jedi in the film, in contrast to his dark and distraught struggles in Empire. Meanwhile, Leia strangles Jabba to death and Han accidentally kills Bobba Fett (a move Lucas later regretted as he didn't realize how popular Bobba Fett would become). Luke returns to Dagobah hoping to complete his training but he finds Yoda dying as he confirms Vader is Luke's father. Obi-Wan appears as a ghost to tell Luke that Leia is the "other Skywalker" –she is his twin sister. Luke must confront Vader again. Meanwhile, the rebel alliance learns of the new Death Star. From their bunker on the forest moon of Endor, they hatch a plan to destroy the shield generator for the new station. This allows for an all-out assault on the new Death Star. Luke travels to join the rebels on Endor, but he fears he has endangered the mission when he senses Vader's presence. On Endor, they encounter the Ewok tribal creatures who eventually accept the rebels as allies. Luke tells Leia that she is his sister and that Vader is their father. Luke then surrenders himself to imperial troops so that he will be brought to Vader (Luke hopes to be able to turn Vader to the light side of the force again). Then, Vader takes Luke to the Death Star to meet the Emperor. It will be Luke's ultimate test as a Jedi Knight. The Emperor shows Luke the power of the new station as it easily destroys one of the rebel starships. Then a battle is staged between Darth Vader and Luke, and this time he beats Vader, severing his prosthetic hand, but Luke refuses to kill Vader, so the Emperor begins torturing Luke with force lightning until the final moment when Vader heeds Luke's advice and he throws his master, the Emperor, down a deep chasm while still being attacked by his force lightning (electrocution). Meanwhile, Han and his crew arrive at the shield generator (thanks to help from the ewoks) and the new station is attacked by the rebels (Lando and Chewbacca and X-Wing fighter pilot Wedge Antilles deliver the ultimate blow to its main reactor). The Falcon flies away from the station along with Luke on a ship with the body of his father, Darth Vader. Just before his death, he asked Luke to remove his helmet and we finally see Darth Vader's face just before he dies. They all regroup on Endor as Leia and Han embrace and he learns of Luke and Leia's familial ties, and Luke burns his father's body: Anakin Skywalker (a.k.a. Darth Vader's) which is reminiscent of a classical Greek pyre in a sorrowful moment which is quickly turned to joy as the rebellion celebrates the decimation of the empire. Luke smiles as he sees the force ghosts of Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Yoda together.
One initial intended ending for the film was to have Luke walk off into the sunset, as an exhausted hero a la a Spaghetti Western, however Lucas opted for a happier ending. Filming for Jedi took place in England, California, and Arizona. Apparently, there was a strict code of secrecy surrounding the production of the film. Harrison wanted desperately for Han Solo to be killed off in Empire, but Lucas demanded that he be brought back into the fore as an essential character. Ian McDiarmid plays the newly introduced character of the emperor, a purely evil figure that looms in the shadows over the two previous films. McDiarmid reprised his roles in episodes I-III as well as the more recent Star Wars films from Disney, and Lucas's "Special Edition" releases in which he was dubbed into the previous originals. Sebastian Shaw also appears as the aging Darth Vader when we finally see his face before he dies.
Return of the Jedi was always my favorite as a child, though as I have grown up I lean more toward The Empire Strikes Back. Nevertheless, Return of the Jedi is an amazing film –the visual effects are absolutely incredible. People tend to criticize the addition of the ewok creatures (though surely they are not as terrible as the gungans in episodes I-III). Typically, the criticism concerns how a group of cuddly teddy bears could destroy the strongest attack force in the galactic empire. But despite these squabbles, Return of the Jedi is a masterpiece (rare for a third sequel of an original cult blockbuster classic). The best scenes in Jedi are owing to the extraordinary effects as well as Marquand's excellent directing. Jedi offers a satisfying and entertaining end to the great Star Wars saga (or at least in hindsight what should have been an end to the saga).

A leading Luxury Brand is now hiring for a Sales Assistant to join their team on a project. The role will be reporting into the Wholesale Manager and will be supporting on Sales operations support such as preparing monthly sales reports, working closely with the Wholesale team.
This opportunity is a great chance to work for a leading Luxury brand to gain more exposure. Ideal candidates must have good number crunch and interest in the Retail industry.


They identified 1,286 more individuals with DM in the high genetic risk score group, who were labeled 'genetically defined T1D.' This was consistent with 9.6% of all diabetes cases in UK biobank being T1D. Of these 1286 individuals, 537 (58%) were diagnosed after age 30 and 749 (42%) were diagnosed before age 30. Individuals across the age spectrum, from 0 to 60, developed T1D. Further analysis suggested that T1D was present in 4% of DM cases diagnosed between ages 31-60 years, as compared to 74% of cases in patients under the age of 30 years.
The authors then attempted to derive summary characteristics for patients with genetically defined T1D. Categorical variables (e.g., admission with ketoacidosis) were calculated similarly to the incidence of T1D, i.e., the excess number of events between low- and high-risk groups were classified as affecting high-risk individuals. For continuous variables such as BMI, differences in mean values for individuals in the low- and high-risk groups were used to calculate values for T1D patients.
Individuals, aged 30-60, with genetically defined T1D were significantly more likely than individuals with T2D to develop diabetic ketoacidosis (11% vs. 0.3%, p<0.0001) and to require insulin therapy (89% vs. 6%, p<0.0001, Table). Furthermore, individuals with genetically defined T1D diagnosed after age 30 were less likely to be initiated on insulin one year after diagnosis compared to individuals diagnosed before age 30 (89% vs. 97%, p<0.0001), suggesting that individuals with T1D in adulthood may be less likely to be aggressively treated with insulin.
Table. Characteristics of patients diagnosed with genetically-defined T1D and T2D at age 30-60.
The study has several important limitations. No supportive testing to confirm T1D versus T2D was available. All characteristics, including BMI, insulin use, and ketoacidosis were self-reported by patients and therefore subject to recall bias. However, the differences between groups are striking and suggest these findings are worthy of study in a prospective manner.
This interesting study demonstrates that a substantial proportion of patients diagnosed with DM in adulthood have may have T1D, contradicting the widely held belief of T1D as a disease of the young. These findings highlight the importance of developing reliable techniques to distinguish T1D, a rapidly progressive disease that can present with diabetic ketoacidosis, from T2D in adulthood. While autoantibodies to the islet antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase are sometimes used to identify T1D, these antibodies are only present in 70% of patients with T1D.5 Furthermore, interpretation of this testing is challenging in older patients due to the low prevalence of T1D and the presence of false positive results. A prospective study, incorporating factors such as autoantibody and C peptide testing, genetic susceptibility, and clinical characteristics may be informative in defining this population of late onset T1D more clearly.

It's the fragile moments that give the harshest shivers, the violent ones that could make you worry that you're losing it, that things will get worse before they ever get better. Kate Cooper and Damon Cox of the Australian band An Horse bow at the alter of these kinds of fragile moments, finding them to be the intoxicating ones that will eventually make you strong if they don't wipe you out before then. Cooper sings about the aspects in life after they've come to a boil. We don't really get too much of the back story in the songs on the band's EP "Not Really Scared," but she swoops us into the middle of the firestorm, at the place where she's out on the ledge and looking for company up there. She wants to share the experience of the elevated winds rushing across wet cheeks and the pulling at clothes, pulling at hair and losing it up there where the pigeons are perching and cooing, where the window washers get frightened. The scenes that she and Cox reveal are scary situations that may never return to a satisfying normal. It makes a lot of sense that Canadian band Tegan & Sara have taken such a liking to this guitar and drums two-piece as there is the same immediacy and the same hectic urge to wonder and an even more hectic need to know why all of this shitty shit is happening and keeps happening. It never seems to subside and then suddenly, the room stops spinning, the faces stop blurring and a calm tries to happen, just momentarily, where things don't seem to be all that bad and it's when you hear Cooper considering her new line, "I believe in horizons now." It feels as if there might be a little flower poking out of the snow, but whether it will survive is still questionable. An Horse music is a sunny day in dead cold of winter, as if there is potential in the snow drifts and there's a light at the end of the bleakness. It all feels warm if you don't stand too close to the windowpanes and you don't look straight down. As Tegan & Sara sings on a song from "So Jealous," "I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me," Cooper strikes a similar sentiment on "Scared As Fuck," offering, "I got scared that you might be a better me than me." It's such a personality conflict that could only come from a self-planted seed of doubt and apprehension. It's about a self-love and confidence that is lacking and yet is an adorable bit of humbleness and humility. It's not a give up on me feeling, but one that is just going to keep getting battled through and worked with as Cooper sings, "I'm trying to get you over it…I'm trying to be brave."

Awaking to our final day of our two week stay at the utopian community of the Chautauqua Institution, I am confronted by the now familiar news of seemingly unnecessary killing of black men by law enforcement officers, of protests, and now of the killing of police officers in protest to those killings. As much as I love the peace and tranquility of Chautauqua, I am eager to get back to the non-utopian world of my life in the larger outside world, despite the conflict and dangers that lurk there.
As I think about the conflict that is erupting on our streets, I can't help but feel that the legal system I work in has contributed to this problem by failing time and time again to deliver justice to the most vulnerable in our society. Too many times our courts have turned away empty handed those who have been harmed at the hands of law enforcement, while making excuses and carving out legal exceptions to the law. Too many times our elected lawmakers have weakened our justice system by choosing to build prisons rather than invest in struggling communities ,and have responded to problems such as addiction by mandating some of the world's longest prison terms rather than offering treatment. Too many times those in power, or those seeking office, have cultivated the seeds of hatred and bigotry by invoking images of fear and prejudice in order to distract attention away from failed public policy and their own lack of vision or direction.
Our leaders need to deliver something greater than sanctimonious speeches and calls for civility while they continue to turn away empty handed the vulnerable who have been harmed. Within the legal system, our prosecutors and judges need to recognize that justice has to mean more than retribution, and that real harm can occur in the absence of monetary loss.
I don't have all the answers, nor do I know all the questions that need to be asked. What I do know is that there remains much good in our country and that we have the potential to be better tomorrow than we are today. Our concept of justice can become richer than it is today, but for that to happen we need to let go of our fear of each other, stop vilifying those who live on the margins, and seek kinship with our neighbors wherever and whenever possible.

My first card is for Jazzy Inspirations and we had to base our cards off the album posted above using the colors: pumpkin pie, rose red, elegant eggplant & kraft. We could also use white if we wanted to but Idecided to use very vanilla because I felt that it calmed these dangerous colors down LOL!! I had to use my fave set Heartfelt Thanks after seeing these colors because I feel that this set makes any color combination beautiful. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic but I also stamped the purple using En Francais....I think it came out very elegant. As far as the sketch, I used Jen's SFYTT. Check it out and play along with us.....if I can make a card with these colors; I know you can!!!!!
This week we're featuring Angel Food Etsy's Shop. Aren't these some delicious looking cookies? They're so beautiful and yummy looking that I had to choose this pic as my inspiration piece for this week's Etsy Design post!!! I saw the colors in these gorgeous things and thought about Mercy's sketch too....what a nice combo!! Thanks Mercy! Wanna play with us? Browse through her SHOP, pick a picture to use as your inspiration & post on Ashley's blog. Very simple and I hope to see your pretty creations this week!!
I bought an Ott Lite yesterday. I'm going to play with it's positioning a bit more but overall I think my pics look better in this light.....any opinions would be appreciated. Well, I need to get last minute details ready for my downline meeting today. I appreciate you stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
Jackie! You just keep amazing me! These are gorgeous! I love the "Love" card, but then, I'm definitely a pastel person!
I'm dying for an Ott light! Heck, I need a digital camera first!!! LOL!
Question: How did you get your Jazzy Inspiration "inspiration" picture small? When I upload a sketch or the sample of what was my base, it comes out the same size! Thanks for the help!
So pretty! OMG! I love that color combo and am trying to think of a stamp set I have to use it on!! I gotta go think....oooh it could be dangerous! LOL! TFS!!

Bus Driver Appreciation Day: 2021
I love that they have an actual day for this. There's something endearingly old-school about it, and yet who can argue the value of its intent? With COVID upon us, there's ever more reason to be thankful. Let's hope the powers that be are working at creating Grocer Appreciation Day, Wait Staff Appreciation Day, Laundromat, Flight Attendant, Security, Janitor, Dishwasher, Garbage Collector, HVAC, Nanny Appreciation and countless more. These are the true stewards of modern life, these caretakers who keep animated our rumbling metropolis, feeding the sleeping giant at odd and swinging hours, ever moving, without expecting much in return.
We do this job with our sleeves rolled up.
Speaking for myself, I do it with pleasure. The question is put to me often: Why don't you go supervision? Apply for chief? Rise up in the ranks?
I'd rather people who actually wanted those positions took them. My passion is here. Could you imagine that I have found something that gives me equal fulfillment to the heady thrill of directing a film? Printing in the darkroom, staging a shoot? Regularly it surpasses those thrills, if you can believe it, because as I age I find myself asking the question more intently: Where can I do the most good? What can I do for others?
Everyone's got a different answer, suited to their proclivities. Sometimes it is being in administration. Or philanthropy, research, art. All great. But for me, the answer to those queries isn't found in an office, or even on a set or darkroom. It's found in the eyes of the lost souls I gently steer toward a smile. It's in the camaraderie of talking to the person next to you, trundling together up Jackson Street. Doing the midnight 7, gently.
Nothing beats the vortex.
Smiling to myself at the construction guy standing in the back, bouncing slightly as he dances to a quiet boombox with his friend. Losing it laughing over jokes I don't remember. A young Latina mother's eyes smiling, realizing she is valued. Respected, here on this bus by me, maybe more than other parts of her life. Her goodbye smile needs no words; it's almost a shared secret. Do you know what it is to build that with someone? You never see her again, but maybe that's the point. Because here's the next face already. What greater, more richly romantic, elemental and vital act can I perform than driving up the block?
I'm not always able to give out light as the colleagues I most look up to do, but I try. Because it's worth trying, out here on the gravel-stricken bottom-feeding world, the street-level restless night where nothing makes sense but you're kind anyway. This is where small gestures accomplish multitudes.
Recently I was handed a card and box of chocolates by a pedestrian who popped into my bus at a zone near her home. I didn't recognize her. The card was thoughtful and erudite. I was grateful. I still have another card a youngster thrust in my hand on the 358 one afternoon nearly a decade ago. But even if there were no cards, I'd carry on just the same. Because I'm not doing this for accolades.
I'm doing it because it feels good to give.
Thank you, fellow operators, for being the inspiration you are.

Settlement reached in Murdock murder lawsuits
Try $1 for 8 weeks
OMAHA — Settlements have been reached in lawsuits against Nebraska law enforcement officials filed by two men falsely accused of killing a southeast Nebraska couple in 2006, according to an attorney for one of the men.
Attorney Maren Chaloupka, of Scottsbluff, told The Associated Press on Saturday that the settlements were reached Friday night in the lawsuits filed by Matthew Livers and Nicholas Sampson. The settlements came ahead of the trial set to begin Monday in the lawsuits.
Chaloupka, Sampson's attorney, said Sampson will get nearly $1 million, with $515,000 coming from the Cass County Sheriff's Office. The Nebraska State Patrol will pay $375,000, and Douglas County will pay $75,000.
"This case presents an appalling departure from the respect for the Constitution, and individual rights, that most Nebraska law enforcement officers have," Chaloupka said. "The lead investigators for the State Patrol and Cass County decided that making two completely innocent men guilty, and keeping them guilty, was more important than the truth."
Ex-CSI director still faces claims by Neb. men
OMAHA (AP) — While the lawsuits against state and county officials by two men falsely accused of murder have been settled, a former Douglas County crime scene investigator still faces claims.
Lawsuits by Matthew Livers and Nicholas Sampson are pending against former CSI Director David Kofoed, who served time in prison for witness tampering in the case.
Kofoed was investigating the 2006 deaths of Wayne and Sharmon Stock when he said he found a speck of a victim's blood in a car linked to Livers and Sampson.
Prosecutors said Kofoed faked a positive test to bolster a case against the two men, who were later exonerated.
An attorney for Sampson, Maren Chaloupka, says Kofoed does not have an attorney and has not participated in court actions.
Kofoed could not be reached for comment.
Phone messages left Saturday night for attorneys representing Cass County and Douglas County were not immediately returned. Email and phone messages left for the Nebraska Attorney General's Office, which represented the Nebraska State Patrol, also were not immediately returned.
Chaloupka referred questions about Livers' settlement to his attorney, Bob Mullin, of Omaha. Mullin did not immediately return a phone message left at his office Saturday night.
Livers and Sampson were initially charged in the 2006 shotgun slayings of Wayne and Sharmon Stock in their farmhouse in the small town of Murdock. The men spent months in jail before being cleared of murder charges. A Wisconsin pair — 24-year-old Jessica Reid and 26-year-old Gregory Fester II — were eventually convicted and sentenced.
Livers and Sampson sued the Nebraska State Patrol and state investigators and those with Douglas and Cass counties in 2008 and 2007, saying the officials violated their constitutional rights. The lawsuits said they were detained without probable cause and subjected to coercive interrogation that led Livers, who is mentally disabled, to falsely confess. The lawsuits also say officials fabricated evidence and withheld evidence of Livers' recanting of his confession a day after he made it. Livers has said he confessed and implicated Sampson after being interrogated for 11 hours. Livers was the Stocks' nephew.
Sampson and Livers say investigators also tried to manipulate Reid and Fester into implicating them in the murders — including threatening Reid with the death penalty if she didn't and promising leniency if she did.
Chaloupka said her client agreed to the settlement with Douglas County in June and with the Nebraska State Patrol and Cass County and their investigators in early September, but agreed to hold off on finalizing the settlements until Livers' lawsuit went to trial.
"We didn't want the jury to be contaminated" by news of Sampson's settlements, Chaloupka said.
While the trial has been canceled in light of the settlements, lawsuits by both Livers and Sampson are pending against former Douglas County CSI Director David Kofoed, who served time in prison for witness tampering in the Murdock murder case.
While investigating the killings, Kofoed reported that he found a speck of a victim's blood in a car linked to Livers and Sampson. He argued that accidental cross-contamination was to blame for his finding, but prosecutors said Kofoed took DNA evidence and used it to fake a positive test to bolster a case against the two men.
Chaloupka said Kofoed is not represented by attorney in the lawsuits and has not participated in court actions against him in the lawsuits. She and attorneys for Livers have been told to contact the court to discuss how they will finish out the claims against Kofoed, Chaloupka said.
Kofoed could not be reached for comment Saturday night.

The Doctor (deutsch: Der Arzt) ist ein Gemälde des englischen Malers Luke Fildes von 1887, das 1891 in der Tate Britain in London erstmals ausgestellt wurde, wo es sich auch heute befindet. Fildes' Werk The Doctor zeigt einen Arzt bei einem Hausbesuch, wie er über das schlafende kranke Kind eines verarmten Arbeiters wacht. Dieses Motiv eines viktorianischen Allgemeinarztes wird bis heute in nahezu jedem Kontext dazu verwendet, um die Qualitäten eines guten und engagierten Arztes darzustellen.

Das Gemälde stellt ebenso den Klassenunterschied zwischen dem Arzt und der Familie aus der Arbeiterklasse dar, als auch die Wohltätigkeit der Mittelklasse, von der die Armen abhingen. Es lässt sich als Wunschvorstellung des Künstlers interpretieren, der mit seiner Kunst etwas festhalten wollte, das seinem eigenen Sohn nicht widerfuhr, der im Alter von nur einem Jahr am Morgen des ersten Weihnachtsfeiertags vermutlich an Typhus gestorben war.

Beschreibung
Die zentrale Figur ist der imposante männliche Mediziner, der seinen kleinen Patienten aufmerksam beobachtet, während im Hintergrund der hilflose Vater seine Hand auf die Schultern der in Tränen aufgelösten Mutter legt. Das provisorische Bett des kranken Kindes besteht aus zwei zusammengeschobenen, nicht zusammenpassenden Stühlen. Das Innere der ärmlichen Hütte entsprach dem damaligen Status eines Arbeiters.

Die Szene zeigt, wie der Arzt die "Krise" der Kinderkrankheit beobachtet, das kritische Stadium, in dem der Patient nicht mehr von der Infektion überwältigt ist. Der geschickte Umgang des Malers mit Licht und Perspektive fokussiert das Auge des Betrachters auf den Arzt, den Patienten und die Beziehung zwischen ihnen. Die Eltern des Kindes sind fast irrelevant; der wachsame Vater ist durch die Anwesenheit des Experten entmachtet, während die Mutter des Kindes – in einer stereotypen weiblichen Rolle zusammengebrochen – den Beistand aus der Hand des mächtigeren Mannes akzeptiert.

Die Hand des Arztes, in die er sein Kinn stützt, sowie die Hand des kranken Mädchens, die in der Luft baumelt, enthüllen die prekäre Art der Erkrankung und die Anerkennung der durch die Krankheit auferlegten Grenzen. Fildes' Gemälde zeigt einige der Utensilien, die der Arzt bei seiner Krankenwache verwendet hat – einen Stößel und einen Mörser sowie eine Tasse und einen Löffel, die darauf hindeuten, dass er möglicherweise einen Trank oder Umschlag für das kranke Kind hergestellt hatte. Es finden sich keine Hinweise für die Ausrüstung, die zum Zeitpunkt der Bildentstehung üblicherweise verwendet wurde, wie z. B. ein Stethoskop oder ein Thermometer.

Es ist bekannt, dass das Bild in Fildes' Londoner Atelier gemalt wurde, wo er sorgfältig ein Cottage-Interieur nachgebaut hatte und der "Doktor" ein professionelles Modell war, aber vermutlich etwas Ähnlichkeit mit Fildes selbst hatte.

Fildes selbst soll über sein Gemälde gesagt haben, dass die Morgendämmerung sich zum Fenster der Hütte hineinzustehlen beginnt (die Morgendämmerung, welche der kritische Zeitpunkt aller tödlichen Krankheiten ist) und damit nehmen die Eltern des kranken Kindes wieder Hoffnung auf. Sein Sohn Philip starb nicht in einer schäbigen Hütte, sondern in einem noblen mehrstöckigen Herrenhaus, das der schon zu Lebzeiten berühmte und reich gewordene Fildes von dem führenden Architekten Richard Norman Shaw in London errichten ließ. Durch die bildlich dargestellte Armut offenbaren sich sowohl der höhere gesellschaftliche Status als auch das Klassenbewusstsein des Malers, sowie sein unerschütterlicher bürgerlicher Anstand, trotz persönlichem Kummer und Trauer.

Ursprung des Bildmotivs
Es gibt verschiedene Vermutungen über die Ursprünge des Gemäldes. 1890 gab Sir Henry Tate ein Gemälde bei Luke Fildes in Auftrag, dessen Thema dem Ermessen des Malers überlassen blieb. Fildes könnte daher vom Tod seines erstgeborenen Sohnes Phillip inspiriert worden sein, der am Weihnachtsmorgen 1877 starb. Der Krankheitsverlauf wurde von einem Dr. Murray begleitet, der Fildes mit seiner Sorgfalt und Aufmerksamkeit beeindruckte, die er seinem sterbenden Kind schenkte.

In einer anderen Version gibt Königin Victoria das Gemälde in Auftrag, um an den Dienst ihres eigenen Arztes, Sir James Clark, zu erinnern, den sie zur Betreuung des kranken Kindes eines Bediensteten auf dem Balmoral-Anwesen geschickt haben soll.

Fildes' Gemälde The Doctor wurde möglicherweise als Reaktion auf allgemeine gesellschaftliche Bedenken hinsichtlich der Zunahme der wissenschaftlichen Medizin im späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert erschaffen. Bis zum 18. Jahrhundert stützten sich die Ärzte zu einem großen Teil ihrer Diagnose auf das, was ihre Patienten ihnen mitteilten, die körperliche Untersuchung umfasste nur die Pulsmessung und die Untersuchung der Ausscheidungen.

Bewertung
Eine detailliertere Bewertung Fildes' Gemälde The Doctor zeigt, dass es sich selbst 1887 – zu der Zeit, als es gemalt wurde – um eine erfundene und unwahrscheinliche Darstellung der Medizin handelte. Fildes' zeitloses Gemälde lässt jedoch ersehen, was auf dem Bild wichtig ist: die Beziehung zwischen dem Patienten und dem Arzt und der Wert eines patientenzentrierten Ansatzes.

A CONVERSATION with her mother about Lady Chatterley's Lover author D. H. Lawrence visiting Perth led Susie Conte to discover the more intriguing story of nurse and writer Mollie Skinner.
Lawrence had stayed at Skinner's guesthouse in Darlington but it was the lesser known author, who was born in 1876 and was a contemporary of Edith Cowan, Katharine Susannah Prichard and Mary Durack, who captured Conte's attention and became the focus of her Masters of Arts research at WAAPA.
"She became more interesting to me than her association with Lawrence and I was surprised she had been practically lost to time," Conte said.
"When her father died the family lost their financial support and she became a nurse to make a living. Her brothers were gamblers and her mother used all their money to pay their debts.
"Because of this, Mollie couldn't focus on her writing. She snatched time to write and this hindered her career. In her circle, she was well known and respected but her legacy is fractured.
Conte has spent the past two years researching the life of Skinner and finding a way to dramatise that life.
The result is Sparrow, on at Subiaco Arts Centre from May 2 to 5, featuring Conte in a one-woman show taking moments from Skinner's life, adapted from her autobiography The Fifth Sparrow, to tell her story.
"Her autobiography is raw and bittersweet and I loved her honesty," Conte said.
"It's named after a Bible verse, about the low cost of buying a sparrow and often a fifth one would be thrown in for free. It is an interesting insight into how Mollie saw herself.
Conte said she hoped audiences found a connection with Skinner and it encouraged them to seek other forgotten women from history to tell their stories.


Fulfilled prophecy is an important evidence of Divine origin, and I've already highlighted just a few of the more important fulfilled prophecies in the Old Testament. A fellow law enforcement brother, Sir Robert Anderson, described perhaps the greatest Old Testament prophecy, if his calculations were accurate.
Anderson was the Assistant Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) from 1888 to 1901; he was also a theologian and author. He wrote many books related to Christianity, science and prophecy, including The Coming Prince.
In this short volume, Anderson makes the case for a remarkable Old Testament prophecy from the prophet Daniel. While the Israelites were certainly comforted by prophecies predicting their enemies would eventually be destroyed, there was a far more reassuring prophecy described by Daniel.
He predicted the coming of a Messiah, a savior who would deliver the Jews. Daniel's prophecy was incredibly specific. I'll do my best to reconstruct the case made by Anderson, but I encourage you to research his work for yourself.
"Send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it. So it pleased the king to send me".
According to the Old Testament, the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was issued "in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king" (Nehemiah 2:1). The Jewish calendar month was Nisan, and since no day is given, it is reasonable to assume the date would be understood as the first, the Jewish New Year's Day. And, in the Julian calendar we presently use, the corresponding date would be March 5, 444 BC.
So when did the Messiah appear? Jesus, on numerous occasions, forbade and prevented his followers from revealing His identity as the Messiah. He frequently performed miracles and swore His disciples to silence, saying his "hour has not yet come" (John 2:4, 7:6).
But, on March 30, 33 A.D., when he entered Jerusalem on a donkey, he rebuked the Pharisees' protest and encouraged the whole multitude of his disciples as they shouted, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord". Jesus even said, "If these become silent, the stones will cry out" (Luke 19:38-40). This was the day on which Jesus was publicly declared the Messiah.
Now let's compare Daniel's prophecy with the true interval between the two events. The time span from 444 BC to 33 AD is 476 years (remember 1 BC to 1 AD is only one year).
And if we multiply 476 years x 365.2421879 days per year (corrected for leap years), we get the result of 173,855 days.
Close, but not precisely what Daniel predicted (although I still think this is pretty amazing). Now let's add back the difference between March 5 and March 30 (25 days). What is our total? You guessed it, 173,880 days, exactly as Daniel predicted.
Sir Robert Anderson understood the degree to which the authors of the Old Testament treated fulfilled prophecy as evidence of Divine origin. The ancient authors recognized only God could "declare the end from the beginning" and forecast to the very day "things that are not yet done" (Isaiah 46:10). Anderson's investigation highlighted perhaps the greatest prophetic declaration of all.

While there are many beautiful holiday spots worth visiting in Italy, it can be hard to find a quiet unspoiled area, yet there are still places that are untouched by mass tourism. One of these is the region of Puglia. Located in the "heel" part of the country, it is home to several cultural, artistic, and historical attractions as well as a beautiful coastline with stunning scenery.
Puglia is simply beautiful, with both the Adriatic and the Ionian creating its coastal areas, A luxury holiday destination for those 'in the know', it has much to offer the traveller. Home to more than 700 kilometers of shoreline characterized by turquoise waters, golden or white sand, craggy coves, and picturesque fishing towns. A type of destination the luxury modern traveller is craving for.
The rocky coves of the Gargano area are worth seeing. The bizarre rocky outcrops emerging from the shimmering waters of the Tremiti Archipelago will definitely be a marvelous respite from the beach and a great place to explore. While there, don't miss the chance to admire the medieval towns and castles located atop. Also, don't skip the beaches of the Salento Peninsula with its shores rivaling each other in beauty.
According to Trip Advisor there are more than 162 museums in the area too, including 24 art museums and 14 art galleries, so those that love culture are well and truly spoilt.
However, Puglia is not only popular for its amazing coastal scenery and its museums; it is also known for its fabulous cuisine, where many of Italy's traditional dishes originate. The deeply-rooted tradition of 'La Cucina Povera', literally meaning 'poor kitchen', is grounded on simplicity and taste. Foods from this area are fantastic, with the emphasis on fresh local produce. You can snack on traditional Salentine delicacies such as Puccia, Taralli, Pizzette, or Frisella while admiring the rows of "Trulli," a traditional dry stone hut, characterised by conical roofs, very common in the town of Alberobello.
In order to explore all the beautiful places of the region, why not hire a car from a car rental company like Primerent and enjoy the freedom and the luxury of a convertible car that will make your trip around this area, extra special?
Thanks to the mild Mediterranean weather of Puglia, a visit to this region is possible the whole year through. With the diverse attractions, it is no wonder that it is becoming one of the more popular luxury travel destinations for an amazing Italian holiday.
Have you been to Puglia? Is Italy a destination you would like to explore?
I'd love to explore Italy a lot more. I'm hoping now we all have passports and a good, large family car we can drive down and camp in the summer and explore from there.
That is an excellent idea Ali. We would love to drive around Italy ourselves like Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan in The Trip to Italy. I think you see so much more when you explore like this.
This place looks utterly beautiful! Love all those blue doors!!
Such a beautiful place, and although it gets busier in the Summer with Italians and tourists, the footfall is nothing like other tourist spots in Italy.
You and me both Nikki!
It looks beautiful there the hotel is amazing and the beach looks lovely and peaceful.
Hope you get the chance to go one day Jaklien.
My mum went there a few years ago and loved it. I'd like to explore more of Italy as I've only really been to Venice and Sorrento (and the areas near to them).
Puglia looks so beautiful, I've wanted to explore this region for some time!
Jamie's Italian serve olives from Puglia - they're a family favourite.
Yes the do and they are so tasty too, shows how good the produce is from this area.
Visiting Italy next year for the first time. Can't wait.
We've been to Rome, Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore, Venice and Milan. Lake Maggiore was my favourite, such as beautiful area.
Ok now I want a holiday . . .
We've never been to Italy but it's on the list.
I've never heard of Puglia, but it's absolutely stunning!

Jellystone Parks In Canyon Lake And Kerrville Have Become Playgrounds For Winter Texans
Home Jellystone Parks In Canyon Lake And Kerrville Have Become Playgrounds For Winter Texans
Jellystone Parks in the Texas Hill Country are popular summer camping destinations for families with children, largely because of the activities they provide with Yogi Bear™ and Boo Boo™.
But in the wintertime, after the bears have gone into hibernation, the Jellystone Parks in Canyon Lake and Kerrville are transformed into playgrounds for Winter Texans.
"It's a little bit like heaven for us," said Emma Anderson of Wisconsin, who enjoys the winter season at the Canyon Lake Jellystone Park™ with her husband, Clark.
In fact, the Andersons have so much fun with Winter Texan friends that they celebrate Christmas with family in Wisconsin over Thanksgiving weekend so they can spend an extra month at the Canyon Lake park.
"They are just very hospitable," Anderson said of Jellystone's campground staff. "We also like Hill Country because it is a very relaxing area and there are lots of activities."
Anderson line dances almost every day, either in town or at the campground, which also has an indoor pool. "Anybody who wants to can use the pool to keep up with their exercises," she said.
The Andersons also like the fact that there are plenty of doctors and dentists nearby, as well as a hospital in neighboring New Braunfels.
Marsha and Richard Lappin of Wichita, Kan. have similar perspectives about the Jellystone Park in Kerrville, and they, too, come to the park right after Thanksgiving to spend the winter in Hill Country.
The Lappins enjoy the park so much they bought a park model RV, which they use as their winter home at the campground.
"We like the weather, but most of all we like our fellow Winter Texans," Marsha Lappin said, "and the people in the area are very friendly. It's a very supportive community with lots of arts activities. There's a lot of quilting activities and golf courses for the men in Kerrville, Fredericksburg and Comfort."
Lappin said some of her Winter Texan friends sew clothing for a local children's home. "We have our local pet projects," she said, adding that many of Winter Texans who gather at Kerrville Jellystone Park™ enjoy each other's company so much that they have reunions during the summer months.
"It's a big happy family," she said.
The Jellystone Parks in Canyon Lake and Kerrville are both owned and operated by Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Northgate Resorts, which has a reputation for excellence in campground operations.
In fact, the Jellystone Park in Canyon Lake has done such a good job of consistently making improvements that it received a Facility of the Year Award in 2015 from Leisure Systems, Inc., the Milford, Ohio-based company that franchises Jellystone Parks.
Both parks also have extensive onsite amenities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as horseshoe and volleyball courts. The Canyon Lake Jellystone Park also has a disc golf course, a basketball court and a bark park, while the Kerrville location has a fitness center, a miniature golf course and an on-site saloon with draft beer.

The terms "Aviación Nacional" ("Nationalist Aviation"), "Fuerza Aérea Nacional" ("Nationalist Air Force") and "Ejército Nacional del Aire" ("Nationalist Army of the Air") refer to military air units supporting General Franco against the Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War and includes:
 The Nationalist side of the Spanish Air Force made up of planes supplied by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and by aircraft captured from the Spanish Republican Air Force
Condor Legion of Nazi Germany
Aviazione Legionaria of Fascist Italy

At the end of the war, the air force was reorganised into the current iteration of the Spanish Air Force, with its fin flash still used on modern Spanish aircraft.

History
The Aviación Nacional was formed from rebel elements of the Aeronáutica Militar and Aeronáutica Naval at the onset of the Spanish Civil War, seizing control of 90 out of 400 military and civilian aircraft in Spain. With additional aircraft and training supplied by Germany and Italy, it was quick to gain air superiority over the Spanish Republic's relatively obsolete aircraft. German aircraft flew in Spanish Nationalist colours as part of the Condor Legion, giving such aircraft as the Heinkel He-111 and the Junkers Ju-87 their first combat experience.

Family-run business has served the agricultural community for years, but its huge range of warehouse stock means it is also a boon for tradespeople.
Workwear - MDT stocks an array of clothing to keep you warm, dry and protected.
The agricultural industry has long been aware of what a fantastic array of tools, clothing and equipment Framlingham business MDT provides, but it may still be news to local tradespeople and the general public.
The thriving family-run business, which has been progressively increasing its stock availability since it moved into its shop and warehouse at The Old Bacon Factory, in Broadwater Road, three years ago, feels it has all kinds of products that would appeal to electricians, plumbers and builders, as well as home DIYers.
The range, which is always being added to, includes hand tools – from proper shovels to hand forks for your window box – power tools, lubricants from half a litre to 205 litres, cleaning products, welding equipment, workshop lighting, drill bits, fuses and nuts and bolts.
MDT has a large supply of tools and work fittings and if the shop doesn't have what you want, it will order it in for you.
The store also has a huge variety of PPE protective clothing and workwear (including safety helmets, gloves and eye protection) that meets health and safety standards.
The range goes on to include electric fencing, pet food and even toys. You'll only truly get an appreciation of the choice on offer by popping into the Framlingham shop. Visitors are sure to get a warm welcome as MDT prides itself on offering a friendly and efficient service.
Mark says: "Nothing is too much bother for our staff. "Whether it's a 4mm bolt or a full set of points for your plough, these guys take it in their stride. "And if they haven't got it they will get it and probably stock it from then on! That is how the business has expanded - sell one, buy two!" The hardworking team, who have more than 80 years' experience combined in agriculture, are very knowledgeable about the specialised products they sell. Many of the suppliers provide training to MDT staff to ensure they know the product inside and out.
MDT is a family firm and, while it sells all over the country (from Inverness to Brighton), it is keen to be part of its community and help people, businesses and self-employed tradespeople from the area get the right product at the right price. Quality, value for money and reliability is, after all, so important.
The products shown on this site are just a fraction of the stock MDT has in its warehouses, so if you can't find what you are looking for, call 01728 621680 or pop in to the shop and discover a secret the farm trade has known for some time.

LITERATURE: none.
This scene of ships on a stormy sea near the shore is a favorite one with van Everdingen; for example, the British Museum preserves a drawing by him with a large, but different boulder by the shore, with a tower behind. Perhaps the closest such scene is a larger drawing, without the tower in the background or the figures on the beach, in the Peltzer sale, Gutekunst, Stuttgart, May 13-14, 1914. Clearly, the artist often did not respond to a particular place, but rearranged the elements of his recurring, invented scenes to achieve a certain variety.
